That day, Jiang Cheng and the others finally arrived near the altar.
Looking at the seemingly endless Black Jade platform ahead, stretching high into the sky, everyone felt waves of terrifying pressure.
"Old Mo, do you call this an altar?"
The platform ahead was layered, seemingly like towering mountains.
As for its size, it was probably no less than tens of thousands of miles.
Not to mention an altar, even a city in the Lower Realm isn't this large.
"It is indeed an altar; back then we launched our attack from here to the other side."
Looking at the familiar platform, Mo Chen couldn't help feeling a myriad of emotions.
"After millions of years, I didn't expect the altar to remain undamaged, just like it was back then."
"Yet, the billions of Immortal Demons that died here back then can never resurrect."
Suddenly, from behind came a chilling laugh. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ noⅴelfire.net
"Thank you all for leading the way."
"Following you for a year indeed wasn't a waste of effort."
"We'll be the first to lay claim to this treasure land!"
Before anyone could react, five colored fumes rose from the dust behind.
"The five Ghost Kings from the Cold Nether Domain?"
The Three-Eyed Tiger and Mo Chen were both shocked, never imagining that for a year someone was constantly spying on them.
These people hid too deep, didn't they?
The five Ghost Kings initially explored the entrance to the Immortal Realm themselves, but after several days with no clue,
they returned and found Jiang Cheng's group anew.
Brother Cheng's Bone Refining Banner was one of the tools to open the Void Immortal Realm, an obvious clue.
Rather than aimlessly searching, it was better to follow him.
Such a thing can't be accomplished by others in the Saint Realm, as regardless of Holy Sanctuary or Divine Soul Treasure, they can easily be sensed.
Only the five of them could survive here without needing treasures or emanating any fluctuations.
They truly remained undiscovered.
They didn't witness the disciples of Feixian Sect attaining Demon Body but saw the Three-Eyed Tiger fiercely battling the Demon Kings.
This mighty combat power forced them to extinguish the thought of snatching the Bone Refining Banner.
They continued to hide and track from behind.
Watching those few guys indulging in pleasure every night while they could only hide and suffer, the five Ghost Kings were extremely annoyed.
But fortunately, today their tough times have finally come to an end.
In a barren land that never changed, suddenly appeared an overwhelmingly magnificent 'city'; even thinking calmly, they could tell there must be treasures inside.
This is something to seize first, of course!
Before anyone could react, the five fumes instantly dissipated into the Void.
The Ghost Kings had already charged into the altar's area.
Immediately, cries of misery echoed from inside.
Accompanied by five crisp bursting sounds, five patches of colored dust fell to the ground ahead.
That seemed to be the bodies of the five Ghost Kings.
With a gust of wind, not a trace remained.
Brother Cheng and the others looked at each other, somewhat dazed.
They only knew it seemed they were deceived, the opponents' plot succeeded, and then nothing more.
"Are the five Ghost Kings dead?"
"Cough, they should be."
What is going on here?
Aren't they supposed to be grateful for them using their lives to identify danger?
"They were too impulsive."
"People die for wealth, treasures captivate people's hearts..."
The Frost Rabbit King and Female Chicken King, who initially wanted to dash forward and explore, were instantly chilled halfway.
"It's too dangerous here; who can survive reaching the altar?"
The Three-Eyed Tiger couldn't help but complain.
"Old Mo, what the hell did you point to? Wasting our time for nothing."
Mo Chen was also somewhat helpless.
"Seems I was mistaken; after all, this was crafted by the collective efforts of various Demon Emperors, leaving behind their methods. And in the Lower Realm, even reaching True Immortal is impossible, let alone getting here."
The outside Blood Evil Qi was about to solidify.
Perhaps due to the altar, even the rule turbulence was more intense here.
The Bone Refining Banner floated in mid-air, reluctant to advance, seemingly afraid of the Black Jade Altar.
Even the Profound Turtle King couldn't stabilize itself.
The group was like a lone boat in the ocean, always at risk of overturning.
A slight probe outside, and everyone's Divine Thought was instantly obliterated!
Frankly, this altar was too high-end.
High-end enough that creatures from the Lower Realm couldn't even approach, even if they had nine Inheritance Treasures it would be useless, only able to glance from afar.
"Bro, if it's really impossible, why don't we follow the Bone Refining Banner's guidance and head in another direction?"
Sect Leader Jiang shook his head: "Retreat isn't in my dictionary!"
"Bro, so heroic! Even a casual word of yours is philosophical."
While flattering, the Three-Eyed Tiger suggested: "How about this, let these two maidservants explore the road first."
"If they die, it means nothing to us."
"If they die a few hundred times, maybe they'll find a safe path in."
Upon hearing this, the Female Chicken King and Frost Rabbit King simultaneously cursed aloud.
"Three-Eyed Tiger, you despicable thing!"
"We are irreconcilable with you!"
"If I survive and return, I'll definitely wipe out your tribe to prevent the likes of you from cropping up again!"
"Sect Leader Jiang, please don't listen to him..."
The two still had no idea Brother Cheng could resurrect and didn't want to die in vain.
Jiang Cheng gave this shameless tiger a faint look, realizing these two female Demon Kings were mere tools to test paths in its eyes?
Even though these Demon Kings weren't his own people, they had been together for half a year.
Served well every day, even if forced, it at least made them familiar.
Even he couldn't be so ruthless, and the tiger was their fellow from the same domain.
Can't it have a bit of decency?
"Enough, how can I let others face danger?"
Brother Cheng stood alone on the head of the Profound Turtle King, boldly looking at the towering altar ahead.
Chest muscles firm: "As Sect Leader, in times of crisis, I must charge to the front line!"
For others it's a place of death; for him, what does it matter?
With the system's Resurrection Skill, fearing nothing.
The Three-Eyed Tiger looked suspicious; it didn't believe Jiang Cheng was that noble.
"Bro, are you serious?"
Mo Chen, rare for him, advised: "Sect Leader, think twice; the altar embodies the methods of an Immortal Emperor, and the surrounding rule turbulence is ten times more dangerous than elsewhere!"
"It's really too risky."
He always trusted a Child of the Plane's luck, that even impossible tasks could succeed.
But can luck withstand the methods of an Immortal Emperor, plus rule turbulence?
He couldn't guarantee this time.
But Jiang Cheng's mind was made up.
After intentionally turning back to show a dignified smile, he flew forward, leaving the Bone Refining Banner's range.
In an instant, he was locked by the rule turbulence and the altar's attacks.
He didn't have any chance to react.
The methods of the Demon Emperor were far beyond his current realm, not to mention those left by the combined efforts of many Demon Emperors.
In less than a second, he was utterly killed.
The group behind hadn't even had the chance to look closely when they found Sect Leader Jiang missing.
