Chapter 794 Bronze Gate, Key to All Laws, Mysterious Coffin!
Holding the chaotic-colored Key of Myriad Laws, Ye Tian stood before the majestic bronze gate, marked with the patina of time.
Light flowed over the key, resonating with some ancient runes recessed on the door.
It emitted a thumping sound like a heartbeat, which sounded particularly clear and heavy in this desolate and dark place.
"Om!!"
When the resonance reaches a certain peak, the Key of All Laws suddenly bursts forth with dazzling chaotic divine light.
Like an invisible key, it was inserted into a blurry, illusory keyhole in the center of the giant bronze gate!
In an instant, a primordial aura, far more ancient and desolate than any stone tablet in the Enlightenment Forest, emanated from it.
Like an ancient behemoth that had slumbered for countless eons awakening, it erupted with a deafening roar from behind the bronze gate!
An aura swept outwards, carrying the lingering echoes of chaos from the creation of the world, and fragments of the laws that rise and fall among the myriad paths.
It also carries a chilling, deathly stillness that freezes the soul!
"Rumble..."
A heavy, resounding roar, as if propelling through the ages.
The massive bronze door, sealed for countless years, slowly opened inward, revealing a crack.
It then grew larger and larger.
All the geniuses outside the door, including those hidden ancient prodigies, held their breath, their divine power surging within them.
The magical artifact hovered in the air, ready to deal with any unexpected situation!
It could be the attack of a ferocious beast, the outbreak of an unparalleled killing formation, or the erosion of some unknown taboo.
Ye Tian's gaze was calm, but the chaotic energy around him had already flowed naturally, enveloping him and Huang Ruoxi and the others behind him.
Although he was confident in his invincibility, he was never arrogant.
As the son of the God Emperor, he possesses three invincible foundations: the Chaos Body, the Supreme Bone, and the Double Pupils.
Along his journey, he trod upon the corpses of countless geniuses and powerful elders, and he knew the dangers and strangeness of this world.
Back when he was still at the Great Emperor realm, he was able to fight against the God King without being defeated.
Now that he has ascended to the position of a true god, his divine blood is boiling, and he has achieved the Dao of Chaos. He is even known as invincible below the God-Emperor!
He once had the glorious feat of single-handedly facing the four great god kings and defeating them all!
Unless it is a deity who has just begun to grasp the laws of heaven and earth and whose words become law.
Otherwise, in this realm of true gods, Ye Tian would be a walking taboo, an undisputed king!
Although this Eternal Daoist Treasury is rumored to contain heaven-defying opportunities, it is restricted by the rules of the Myriad Laws Heavenly Gate.
At most, the legacy of a god-level being can be preserved. As for the god-emperor above god-level?
Even if such a thing existed, it would be impossible for it to have survived to this day under the constraints of the rules.
Ye Tian speculated that behind the door might be some powerful corpses, or an artifact bearing the mark of a supreme secret technique.
however!
When the bronze gate was fully opened, revealing the scene behind it to everyone, even Ye Tian, with his composure, had his pupils shrink slightly!
Not to mention Huang Ruoxi, Su Qinglian, Xiao Yan and others behind him, who instantly gasped in shock.
Her beautiful eyes widened, her face filled with disbelief and shock!
There was no terrifying scene of ferocious beasts running rampant and demonic shadows looming over the place as I had imagined.
There was no magnificent treasure as expected, radiating divine light and soaring into the sky.
Outside the door was a region corrupted by dark power, filled with chaos and an aura of slaughter.
They were completely different, as if they were two completely isolated worlds.
Behind the door lay a vast, empty, and utterly silent space.
The sky was gray, devoid of sun, moon, and stars, enveloped only by an eternal, chaotic glow.
The ground was flat, with a dark bronze hue, as if it were made of the same material as the giant gate.
In the center of this vast open land, the most striking sight is... dozens of coffins arranged in neat rows!
These coffins were not made of ordinary wood or stone, but rather had a dark gold color throughout.
It seemed to be forged from some kind of immortal divine metal, and its surface was covered with even more ancient, more complex, and more incomprehensible primordial runes!
The runes flowed slowly across the surface of the coffin as if they were alive, emitting a faint yet unwavering light.
It seems to be telling a story of a steadfast commitment that has transcended eternity.
Each coffin was enormous, tens of feet long, and stood there silently.
Like ancient gods and demons in deep slumber, the aura they exuded was so heavy that it seemed to freeze the laws of this space!
Dead!
A deathly stillness that originates from the very source of life and lasts for eternity!
Ye Tian frowned slightly. His chaotic body perception far surpassed that of ordinary people, and subtle chaotic light flowed within his double pupils, allowing him to see through illusions.
He could clearly sense the aura emanating from those dozens of dark gold coffins...
Vast as the sea of stars, majestic as the law of heaven, yet within its deathly silence lies the supreme Daoist essence that once shook the heavens!
Even the weakest of these auras... far surpasses the realm of a true god.
It reached a level that still makes him feel a little pressured!
That's... the aura of a god!
Moreover, they were by no means ordinary beings who had just entered the realm of Divine Venerables; many of their coffins emitted a Daoist aura that was obscure and profound.
It seems that he has touched upon a certain extreme of the realm of gods, or even... perhaps he has taken one foot into an even higher level!
Dozens of deities?!
Perhaps even stronger?!
How is this possible? How could the rules of the Heavenly Gate of Myriad Laws allow so many remains of deities to remain?
Or rather... are they not remains?
A chill involuntarily rose from the hearts of all the prodigies who witnessed this scene.
This ancient Taoist canon was completely different from what they had imagined!
Ye Tian remained silent for a moment, then stepped forward and walked towards the coffin closest to him.
Huang Ruoxi and the others suppressed the turmoil in their hearts and followed closely behind, vigilantly watching their surroundings.
Approaching the coffin, one can feel the overwhelming primordial aura and heavy pressure emanating from it.
The runes on the coffin were clearer; they were a combination of ancient script and patterns never seen before.
It is filled with a wild and mysterious atmosphere, as if it records an epic of a lost era.
Ye Tian stretched out his finger and gently touched the cold, dark gold surface of the coffin.
What came from my fingertips was not the coldness of inanimate objects, but rather an extremely faint, almost ancient, pulse of life.
And an indescribable sense of tragedy and resentment, seeped into his heart through his fingertips.
His double pupils reflected the flowing runes on the coffin, attempting to decipher the information they contained.
"Master, these coffins..."
Huang Ruoxi's voice trembled slightly, barely perceptible; the scene before her was too horrifying.
Ye Tian withdrew his finger, his gaze sweeping over the dozens of coffins that resembled a silent military formation, his eyes becoming incredibly profound.
"It seems that the secrets of this ancient Daoist canon are far more astonishing than we imagined."
He muttered to himself, already understanding that this was no ordinary place of inheritance.
Why would these dozens of beings, who are at least at the level of Gods, gather here in this way?
Are they asleep?
Or is something being suppressed?
What is the connection between the darkness encroaching outside the bronze gate and the coffins inside?
The key to all laws led him here, but what is his true purpose?
The answers to everything seem to lie hidden in these ancient coffins and the flowing primordial runes.
Just as Ye Tian was inside the bronze gate, facing the dozens of coffins of deities, deep in thought.
Outside the bronze gate, the dark region, corrupted by dense dark power, had long since transformed into a purgatory of blood and slaughter!
In stark contrast to the deathly stillness and solemnity inside the gate, the world outside was filled with lurking demonic shadows and deafening roars of beasts!
"Roar!!"
"Ouch!"
"Tsk!"
Countless grotesque dark beasts, their bodies shrouded in thick black mist, surged out from the depths of the dense forest like a tide!
Their eyes were bloodshot, filled with a violent and destructive desire. Their fangs and claws gleamed with an eerie light, easily tearing through divine power shields and piercing through the bodies of geniuses!
These ferocious beasts are not ordinary creatures, but have been corrupted by the dark primordial power that has accumulated here for thousands of years.
These are terrifying beings that have been mutated. Even the weakest of them are comparable to true gods. Among them are many terrifying beast kings whose aura has reached the peak of true gods and even touched the edge of godhood!
"Form ranks! Form ranks now!"
"Block them! Ah!!"
"help me!!"
Screams, roars, the explosions of colliding divine power, the cracking of bones...
They intertwine to form a desperate symphony of death.
The native royal families and prodigies of the Northern Sea had long lost their former pride and glory, and were now in a sorry state.
Their battle formation was as fragile as paper under the onslaught of the beast tide. Royal prodigies were constantly being pounced on by the ferocious beasts, and their protective divine light was instantly extinguished.
Then came the horrifying sounds of tearing and chewing, and blood stained the dark earth.
In just a short while, several royal teams were completely wiped out, with severed limbs and broken bodies scattered everywhere!
The strong smell of blood fueled the dark beasts to become even more ferocious!
Even the most noble royal prodigies could only barely hold on with their powerful physiques, bloodlines, and inherited techniques.
A princess with the bloodline of the Ice Phoenix, the illusory image of the Ice Phoenix around her had dimmed, and her gorgeous wings were stained with blood and bits of flesh.
She wielded her ice crystal longsword, unleashing icy currents that froze the void, encasing several ferocious beasts that pounced upon her. However, even more beasts immediately filled the gaps.
She was panting heavily, her face pale, clearly at her limit.
Another descendant of the ancient barbarian royal family roared and tore a ferocious beast apart!
However, his robust body, comparable to divine metal, was also covered with deep claw marks that revealed the bone, and dark golden blood flowed continuously, his aura fluctuating violently.
Only those imperial prodigies with imperial blood and profound foundations, and those ancient freaks who have slumbered for millennia and whose methods are unpredictable.
While they were able to maintain a certain level of combat strength when facing this seemingly endless tide of dark beasts, it was by no means an easy task.
"Crimson Blood Slays the Heavens!"
The Crimson Spear God roared, wielding a blood-red spear formed from killing intent, slashing and thrusting wildly.
Wherever the spear's edge passed, swarms of ferocious beasts were shredded into a bloody mist, but the blood-fiend domain surrounding him was also being constantly eroded and compressed by the power of darkness.
The Night King, in the form of a shadow, moved through the horde of beasts. Wherever he passed, the ferocious creatures fell silently, their life force devoured.
But his eternal darkness seemed to be disturbed by the darkness of this place, and became no longer pure.
That first-generation peerless divine body, with its chaotic energy evolving into myriad forms, sometimes transforms into a heavenly blade to slash down, and sometimes into a divine mountain to suppress, repelling the approaching ferocious beasts one by one.
But his brows furrowed slightly, clearly indicating that the continuous battle had taken a heavy toll on him.
"This can't go on! We can't kill all these monstrous things!"
A descendant of an imperial clan shattered a charging beast king with a punch and roared loudly at Ao Qingtian and the others who were fighting fiercely not far away.
Ao Qingtian's face was still somewhat pale. The injuries he had sustained from being severely wounded by Ye Tian had not fully healed, making him even more restricted in his fighting.
"We must find a way out! Or... go through that door!"
Another ancient freak spoke in a cold voice, his gaze sweeping toward the towering gate in the distance, which gleamed faintly with a bronze sheen in the darkness.
This suggestion immediately received responses from many top talents.
They fought and retreated, consciously moving closer to the bronze gate.
However, when they finally approached the bronze gate, they were devastated to find that no matter how much divine power they used to attack it, the gate remained completely unmoved.
The ancient runes on the door flowed, easily dissolving and absorbing all power.
Some imperial prodigies even used the secret technique of imperial blood to try to force it open, but were sent flying backward, coughing up blood, by an even stronger backlash.
"Damn it! This door is protected! It can't be opened at all!"
"We need a key! We definitely need a specific key!"
"The Key to All Laws... That's it! It must be Ye Tian! He has the Key to All Laws, he must have already gone in!"
Ao Qingtian wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes filled with gloom, as he thought of the white-clad figure who had clouded his Dao heart.
Just as everyone was filled with despair because they could not enter the bronze gate, and were forced to continue fighting against the endless beast tide, with casualties continuing to increase!
"Rumble..."
A deep, resonant sound, as if it originated from the distant past.
The sound came clearly from the direction of that tightly closed bronze gate!
All the prodigies engaged in the battle, whether they were members of the royal family struggling to survive, or members of the imperial family and ancient freaks fighting fiercely, couldn't help but pause in their movements.
They all looked at the massive bronze gate with surprise and uncertainty.
The majestic gate was now slowly opening inwards!
Through the crack in the door, a faint, ancient, and desolate aura could be emanating from it.
This stands in stark contrast to the dark forces raging outside the door!
"The door...the door is open?!"
"Who is it? Who opened the door?!"
"It must be Ye Tian! Only he possesses the Key to All Laws!"
"He went in! Inside must be the ancient Daoist scriptures! An unparalleled opportunity!"
Seeing a glimmer of hope amidst despair, the eyes of all the prodigies instantly turned incredibly fervent and greedy!
Even the dark beasts seemed to instinctively fear the open portal and the aura emanating from behind it, and their attacks slowed down slightly.
Ao Qingtian, Crimson Blood Gun God, Dark Night King, the First Generation Divine Body and other top beings exchanged glances.
They both saw the same thought in each other's eyes!
Take this opportunity and rush in!
Whether there is an opportunity or greater danger behind the door, it is better than staying here and being worn down to death by these endless dark beasts!
Moreover, Ye Tian is already inside; we absolutely cannot let him monopolize this opportunity!
"rush!"
Someone shouted first, and the surviving geniuses from all sides grasped at it as if it were their last straw.
Unleashing all of its remaining divine power, it charged recklessly toward the slowly opening bronze gate!
After a brief pause, the dark beast tide surged forward once more.
They collided violently with the prodigies rushing towards the gate, resulting in an even more brutal melee!
