Chapter 2423 Opponent, Calm

The footsteps grew louder and louder, and they were soon reaching the end of the bridge.

Thump! Thump! Thump-thump!

As the sound continued to travel, the strange scene of millions of graves began to change.

Each grave began to tremble, more and more violently.

Rumble!

A few breaths later, all the graves exploded, and blood-red mummies crawled out of the cemetery, baring their teeth and claws, looking ferocious and terrifying.

Billions of mummified corpses roared with boundless resentment.

Witnessing this blood-red scene, even the White Bone Supreme, who had weathered countless storms, couldn't help but be slightly stunned and exclaimed in surprise, "What terrifying ferocity! How many people must have been killed!"

With Gongsun Rong's keen eye, he could tell that although these mummies were not physical entities, their resentment was real.

In other words, the terrifying spectacle of the blood-red tomb was built from the lives of countless living beings.

The methods were cruel and outrageous.

Mummified corpses are scattered throughout the starry sky, each with a different appearance, including men and women, the old and the young.

Judging from this resentment, each of the mummified corpses was not an ordinary person in life; they were all cultivators, and quite powerful ones at that.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have accumulated such resentment that it could terrify even the Emperor.

If ordinary people's resentment could be this exaggerated, the heavens and the realms would have been in turmoil long ago.

A powerful being can destroy a life-bearing planet in the blink of an eye.

There are hundreds of millions of ordinary living beings above the stars.

Even so, throughout the long course of history, no ordinary person's resentment has ever reached this level.

Thump!

The newcomer took another step, traversing several spatial rules, and reached the end of the bridge, appearing in the Upper Star System.

Chen Qingyuan and Gongsun Rong had been watching the bridge, and as soon as the newcomer appeared, they took in his figure and appearance.

The man was wearing tattered gray clothes, with disheveled hair and a full beard, showing no concern for his appearance.

He was a powerful and imposing figure, with a sinister and terrifying skull hanging around his neck and waist.

Upon closer inspection, there were a total of eighteen skulls on his body.

His body was wrapped in many chains of a special material, which made a jingling sound whenever he moved, which was particularly jarring.

When the demon god enters the world, all paths retreat.

"Break free from shackles and seek the path to immortality."

He was like a death god from hell, with countless wronged souls crawling at his feet, roaring incessantly, filled with resentment and fear.

Gongsun Rong was very wary of such a dangerous person and dared not provoke him.

In contrast, Chen Qingyuan remained unfazed, undeterred by the newcomer's overwhelming ferocity.

Not only were they not afraid, but they also stepped forward.

Upon noticing Chen Qingyuan's movement towards the demon god, Gongsun Rong immediately called out in a very serious tone, "Fellow Daoist, please wait!"

Chen Qingyuan glanced back at him: "What?"

Gongsun Rong sensed a strong sense of danger and sincerely warned, "This person is very dangerous; do not get close."

"That's exactly what I've been waiting for."

After saying that, Chen Qingyuan turned his gaze forward and continued walking.

Watching Chen Qingyuan's retreating figure, Gongsun Rong sighed softly, "Alas! Isn't this just asking for trouble?"

Because Chen Qingyuan's aura was restrained and he didn't appear overly fierce, Gongsun Rong believed that if Chen Qingyuan were to truly clash with this demon god of unknown origin, his chances of survival would be slim.

Finding a suitable opponent is extremely difficult.

Therefore, Chen Qingyuan would never let such a good opportunity slip by.

This demon lord, whose entire body is bound by chains and shackles, has already stepped one foot into the pinnacle of the Emperor's Realm. Give him another significant opportunity, and he will surely be able to reach the pinnacle with the other foot as well.

Being stuck in this position is rather awkward.

The Demon Lord first observed the eerie black mist, his face indifferent. The supreme fortune he had been seeking was right before him, yet it seemed to have no effect on his emotions; his expression was cold and utterly indifferent.

Then, the Demon Lord noticed someone slowly approaching him.

Turning his head for a quick glance, he clearly saw Chen Qingyuan's appearance.

Quasi-Emperor?

The cultivation fluctuations emanating from Chen Qingyuan surprised the Demon Lord slightly. Although there was no change in his expression, a strange light flashed in his eyes.

It must have been some kind of forbidden secret technique used to conceal their true situation.

Given the Demon Lord's speculation, it's impossible that he would consider Chen Qingyuan to be a quasi-emperor.

After all, what quasi-emperor could withstand such terrifying ferocity, with many heavy emperor laws surrounding their body?

To the Demon Lord's surprise, as Chen Qingyuan approached, the churning sea of ​​blood changed direction. The countless mummies that had crawled out of the graves retreated in fear and dared not approach. The hanging sun and moon blood map trembled slightly, foreshadowing an earth-shattering storm that was about to break.

"Stop!"

Staring intently at Chen Qingyuan, feeling a sense of unfathomable enigma, the Demon Lord opened his dry, blackened lips, his voice hoarse and rustling like sand through a dilapidated windowpane, sounding very strained.

The word "stop" is clearly a warning.

However, Chen Qingyuan seemed not to hear him and slowly approached. He was not in a hurry to make a move, but wanted to slowly sense the changes in the other party's Dao power.

Since it is about enlightenment, it cannot be done quickly.

Enjoy the process and find ways to temper your body in the cycle of reincarnation.

"Something bad is about to happen!"

After thinking for a moment, Gongsun Rong decided to retreat far away to a safe location and observe how things would develop.

His initial meeting with Chen Qingyuan and his willingness to offer advice already demonstrated goodwill; it was impossible for him to risk such a huge opportunity to go and help.

"Fellow Daoist Chen is looking for a suitable opponent, but has his own strength reached that level?"

Having just spoken with Chen Qingyuan for a while, Gongsun Rong hadn't detected any particularly terrifying imperial aura emanating from him. Either Chen Qingyuan's strength was roughly equal to his own, or he was using a very effective concealment technique.

In short, Gongsun Rong did not believe that Chen Qingyuan had the ability to provoke this demon god.

At the very center of the blood-red spectacle, the Demon Lord issued a warning, but Chen Qingyuan seemed not to hear it.

Seeing this, the Demon Lord felt his dignity had been trampled upon, so he said no more and attacked directly.

His body remained still for the moment, but the blood-red phenomenon filled with resentment underwent a dramatic change.

With the Demon Lord's will empowering them, the dried corpses that had originally been taking a detour now all aimed at Chen Qingyuan, rushing towards him through the sea of ​​blood.

Although this was a test from the Demon Lord, it was enough to make many emperors uneasy and retreat in panic.

However, Chen Qingyuan appeared very calm, his forward stepping speed was not affected in the slightest, and he remained as steady as a mountain.

The person before him remained calm and composed, which aroused both anger and apprehension in the Demon Lord.

Anyone who dares to do this is either a fool or has enough power.

"kill!"

The Demon Lord spoke the truth, his ferocious power surging forth.

The sea of ​​blood surged, pressing down on the starry sky.

Countless mummies gathered together, surging in from all directions like towering waves, ready to devour their target.

Despite being in a dangerous situation, Chen Qingyuan remained calm and composed.
