Chapter 742 - 727: 6 Paths of Reincarnation

Even though everyone knew Jun Tianyu would seize the opportunity to strike, no one expected him to be so decisive.

The moment the Stone Gate swung open, Ren Xudong and Zheng Tianfeng charged inside. The brothers Zuo Feng and Zuo Yun also made a bold move.

Meanwhile, Dong Chengyue and Qin Mengxue weren’t standing idle either...

But with everyone’s Divine Thought locked onto Jun Tianyu, how could he have succeeded so easily?

The truth was, Jun Tianyu was still standing in his original spot, hands clasped behind his back, his demeanor calm and composed.

But behind Zuo Feng and Zuo Yun, another Jun Tianyu had appeared out of thin air, striking like lightning and severely wounding the two brothers!

Two eerie Palm Seals were imprinted on their backs, flickering like fluorescent lights before finally fading away after a long moment.

Moreover, those two Palm Seals were clearly smaller than Jun Tianyu’s own palms!

When Qin Mengxue saw a Jun Tianyu appear behind Zuo Feng and Zuo Yun, she hesitated for a moment... because according to her Divine Thought’s lock, Jun Tianyu was still standing in his original spot, completely motionless!

Dong Chengyue was different. She and Ren Xudong belonged to the same faction and wished nothing more than for Zuo Feng and Zuo Yun to drop dead. Never mind being unable to react; even if she could have, she would have simply sat back and watched.

She might have wanted to kill Jun Tianyu, but she certainly wasn’t going to do it for the sake of the Zuo brothers.

After landing a palm strike on Zuo Feng and Zuo Yun’s backs and sending them flying, this Jun Tianyu’s figure once again vanished into thin air.

The faint sound of his chuckle lingered in the air.

Qin Mengxue’s Divine Thought had already lost all trace of the Jun Tianyu who had attacked.

In a furious rage, she swept her longsword out, aiming for the Jun Tianyu who was still standing there!

SHHIIING!

As expected, the composed Jun Tianyu standing in the original spot was sliced in half at the waist!

While still in the air, the bisected body of Jun Tianyu exploded into ash and drifted down.

"Dammit, it really was a Puppet!"

Qin Mengxue’s face was filled with Evil Qi, her fairy-like appearance transforming into that of a Witch.

Strangely, the pure white, flawless dress she wore began to shift to a dark color amid her towering rage!

Dong Chengyue had been furious that Qin Mengxue had stopped her earlier, but seeing her like this, she started laughing. "Oh, my dear Mengxue, how many times has Jun Tianyu fooled you now? I told you long ago that he’s insidious and cunning, but you just wouldn’t believe me. Sigh!"

"Trust me, men are no good. Only women can be trusted."

"Men are so much trouble. I think I prefer women..."

As she spoke, Dong Chengyue shot Qin Mengxue a flirtatious wink, and with a sway of her hips, she followed the Zuo Feng and Zuo Yun brothers through the Stone Gate.

Qin Mengxue shot a hateful glance at the dust of the Puppet she had shattered with her sword, muttering indignantly, "Jun Tianyu, you really have some impressive tricks, to have a Puppet that could even fool me! You were controlling a Puppet to talk to me this whole time? Did you really calculate that none of us would attack you and expose your deception?"

Jun Tianyu was long gone, so naturally, no one was there to answer her.

With a flick of her sleeve, Qin Mengxue was gone like the wind, disappearing through the Stone Gate.

Shen Lang, who had been hiding to the side all along, narrowed his eyes slightly, retracting his gaze from the passage within the Stone Gate.

He had been focused on Zuo Feng and Zuo Yun the entire time.

’The exclusive secret skill of White Banner Master Bai Luobing: the Heart-Shattering Five Extremes Palm. When this Palm Technique is cultivated to the Great Success Realm, a single strike is as fast as lightning and leaves an imprint only the size of a copper coin. Its power is immense.’

’Not only can this Jun Tianyu use this Palm Technique with ease, but he’s also been holding back this whole time. He either doesn’t strike, or when he does, he aims for a killing blow. He’s truly extraordinary... But why is there no record of him in the War Emperor’s memories?’

’The Palm Force of the Heart-Shattering Five Extremes Palm has entered the bodies of the Zuo Feng and Zuo Yun brothers. It’s constantly absorbing their power and will erupt completely in half an hour. Jun Tianyu must be planning to use this chance to eliminate them for good.’

In just an instant, Shen Lang had already deduced Jun Tianyu’s plan.

At that moment, the crowd outside, who had been watching Qin Mengxue with bated breath, let out a cheer when she finally entered the Stone Gate. They immediately broke into a run and charged for the entrance!

These people had been fighting here for the better part of the day, all waiting for this Stone Gate to open.

If not for Qin Mengxue and the others standing at the entrance, they would have charged in long ago.

But as fast as these people were, Shen Lang was faster!

The moment the crowd reached the entrance, Shen Lang’s figure had already shot past them, hurtling through the Stone Gate at an incredible speed!

"How dare you!"

The five Emperor Martial Realm powerhouses from the Imperial Dragon Sect at the front, led by Qin Siyuan, roared in anger. They simultaneously reached out, and five massive Light Palms shot inward like mountains, trying to grab him!

Someone actually dared to bypass them and enter first? They were simply courting death!

Jun Tianyu and his group had Cultivations far surpassing these five, so of course, they wouldn’t have dared to utter a single word of protest.

But what was this Shen Lang wearing an Evil Ghost Mask even supposed to be?

The five Emperor Martial Realm powerhouses had no time to speculate about Shen Lang’s origins; they attacked at the same time to intercept him!

In the crowd, the corner of Blood Gun Mu Feng’s mouth curled into a cruel smile.

’So reckless. Daring to provoke several Emperor Martial Realm Elder Ancestors is just asking to die! If you get injured by them, I’ll hunt you down and make you wish you were dead!’

Just as the five giant Light Palms were about to reach into the Stone Gate...

A light breeze swept by. The Puppet that Qin Mengxue had shattered to dust suddenly reformed, taking on Jun Tianyu’s appearance. It then blew a sharp breath forward!

With that single breath, a fierce gale erupted in front of the Stone Gate!

The Light Palms of Qin Siyuan and the other four Emperor Martial Realm powerhouses popped like bubbles, instantly blown away until nothing remained!

"My... My Lord, what are you...?"

Qin Siyuan and the other four stood at the entrance looking awkward, at a complete loss.

This Jun Tianyu was a master of illusions and deception. His Divine Techniques were so immense that even Qin Mengxue and the others had been completely fooled.

Everyone had assumed that after severely injuring Zuo Feng and Zuo Yun, he had already gone inside.

They never would have imagined that he was still at the entrance!

Not only that, but he had even acted to disperse the attacks from Qin Siyuan’s group, clearing the way for the ghost-faced man inside?

"The Dragon Scale Divine Hall is the core of the Yumu Cave Blessed Land. All who come here are brought by destiny. What fortunes you obtain will depend on your own opportunities, so why draw weapons over who goes first? The people of Yumu Cave Blessed Land have already left. This Dragon Scale Divine Hall is now occupied by the Abyss Lord. Your enemies should be the Dark Creatures and endless Demon Beasts within this Divine Hall, not each other."

"Whatever grudges you may have with one another, listen to me: set them aside for now and work together. Otherwise, whether you can even make it back alive will be in question."

After speaking faintly, Jun Tianyu walked slowly into the Stone Gate, his bearing elegant and perfectly composed.

The crowd behind him exchanged confused glances, stunned for a moment before they finally snapped out of it and swarmed through the Stone Gate.

Inside the passage beyond the Stone Gate, Jun Tianyu’s ocean-like Divine Thought swept forward, but it had already lost all trace of Shen Lang.

’This person is truly unusual... Could it be that he was the one spying on us earlier?’

Just as he had this thought, Jun Tianyu immediately shook his head with a smile. ’But for a mere kid whose Cultivation is only around the King Martial Realm Second Heaven to be able to hide from someone like me at the Emperor Martial Realm Late Stage... For a King Martial Realm Martial Artist’s Divine Thought to be strong enough to achieve that is truly hard to imagine.’

The sound of his muttering echoed faintly in the massive passage. The next moment, Jun Tianyu’s figure also vanished without a trace.

Within this enormous passage, unseen by anyone, a tiny speck of dust, as if pushed by a gale, was hurtling toward the far end of the corridor.

Shen Lang, of course, had no idea that Jun Tianyu had been hiding outside the Stone Gate.

He wasn’t confident enough to take a direct blow from five Emperor Martial Realm powerhouses.

Left with no other choice, Shen Lang had entered the Heaven-Sealing Cauldron.

After using the Heaven-Sealing Cauldron countless times and with his Divine Thought constantly growing stronger, Shen Lang’s connection to the cauldron had far surpassed what it once was.

Back when he and Nalan Ziyun fell off a cliff in the Phoenix Mountain Range, he had ended up inside the Heaven-Sealing Cauldron. At that time, it had taken all his strength just to move the cauldron a meter or two.

Back then, moving it a meter or two in a short time was his absolute limit.

When he was trying to move the Heaven-Sealing Cauldron at the bottom of that cliff, Nalan Ziyun had even mocked him, saying he looked like he was "straining on the toilet."

But now, Shen Lang’s Cultivation was more than a hundred times stronger than it was that day.

While controlling the Heaven-Sealing Cauldron in flight was still very draining, its speed was now much faster.

Its current speed was equivalent to that of a Xuanwu Realm powerhouse in flight.

Seeing Jun Tianyu disappear down the passage, Shen Lang didn’t hesitate. He immediately exited the Heaven-Sealing Cauldron and sprinted forward with all his might!

Even though Jun Tianyu already suspected him, he didn’t want any unnecessary trouble from being targeted by such a powerful Emperor Martial Realm expert.

However, Jun Tianyu’s short-term target was definitely the Zuo Feng and Zuo Yun brothers; he wouldn’t waste time and energy getting tangled up with him.

A strong wind swept through the passage as Shen Lang moved at full speed, holding nothing back.

This massive passage was over ten li long, spiraling upwards like a great python.

Soon, a massive hall appeared before Shen Lang.

And in this hall stood six side-by-side Teleportation Gates, each over twenty feet tall.

A curtain of light shimmered like water over each Teleportation Gate, upon which several strange, large characters glowed with an unusual light, trembling slowly.

’Celestial Dao, Mortal World Dao, Asura Dao, Beast Dao, Hungry Ghost Dao, Hell Dao... Are these... the Six Paths of Reincarnation?’

Shen Lang glanced at the glowing words on the six massive Teleportation Gates and hesitated for a moment.

He knew far, far too little about what lay inside this Dragon Scale Divine Hall.

Of all the powers and experts currently in the Dragon Scale Divine Hall, perhaps only Candle Dragon and Taotie were the most familiar with it...

After all, those two had already played hide-and-seek inside.

’To pass through here and reach the next level, do I also have to go through Purgatory or Reincarnation?’

Encountering the Six Paths of Reincarnation right after entering left Shen Lang slightly stunned.

After a moment of contemplation, Shen Lang’s gaze fell upon the "Hungry Ghost Dao"...
