Chapter 2321
The warships traversed the void, breaking through layer upon layer of spatial barriers. After an unknown amount of time, they finally broke through an endless fog and sailed into an extremely silent void.
"Wow, what kind of airspace is this?" Zixia approached the ship's side, looking around with surprise on her face. "My Dao Eye scanned the area, and there wasn't even a single nebula in sight!"
Everyone looked sideways.
The absence of nebulae means that this vast expanse of space contains no living stars, making it a truly desolate place.
Such a strange place was unknown to all the holy sons and prodigies of the eight holy lands.
"This place is the desolate void outside the second line of defense," Jue Wuqing's voice came from the top of the deck, explaining calmly.
"Even we Immortal Kings must follow a specific route to reach the defensive line here. Otherwise, if we deviate from the route, we will trigger the eternal and terrifying killing array in this void."
Zi Chen God King nodded in agreement, his tone somewhat solemn:
"The grand formations set up in this desolate domain were all created by quasi-emperors. One can imagine the heavy blows they inflicted on us when the strange creatures broke through the front lines and invaded the rear."
"An eternal-level killing formation personally set up by a quasi-emperor?" Chen Xuan, Dao Yi, Tian Mang, Xuan Ye, and the others all gasped in shock, their expressions instantly turning solemn.
They had only seen a corner of the broken Eternal-level array left over from the ancient battle in the "Devouring Demon Star Void," and they had already felt its earth-shattering power. As for the complete Eternal Killing Array, its terrifying extent was beyond comprehension.
Just then, Tianyi suddenly exclaimed, "Look, what's that?" He pointed ahead, his voice filled with shock.
Following the direction of his finger, everyone looked and saw a huge black silhouette stretching across the sky and earth in the endless void and mist, towering majestically and exuding an aura of majesty that suppressed all ages.
"My God, this aura, this pressure, this majestic grandeur..." Xia Jiuyou's beautiful eyes widened, and she couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"Could this void chasm be the legendary second line of defense for life?"
She had heard of this pass before, but had never seen it with her own eyes. All her previous imaginations were overturned at the moment she witnessed it.
Chen Xuan also looked up with his mouth agape, staring at the massive black wall that stretched across the heavens, a feeling of indescribable shock welling up in his heart.
This feeling is like looking up at the Great Wall, magnified hundreds of thousands of times, from beyond the Great Wall in a past life; a sense of insignificance and awe arises spontaneously.
The colossal wall was of unknown height, piercing the depths of nothingness, and stretched for tens of thousands of miles, with no end in sight, as if it had divided the entire chaotic universe.
"You little rascals who've never seen the world before." Seeing this, Jue Wuqing smiled faintly.
"This is only the second line of defense, built by a quasi-emperor. When you see the first line of defense and the Imperial Pass built by the Emperor himself, you will know what true magnificence, true grandeur, and true insurmountability are."
The words of the two Immortal Kings filled Chen Xuan and the others with longing, and they couldn't help but imagine the magnificent scene created by the Great Emperor.
Just as the warships were about to reach the vicinity of the second line of defense, an ancient and majestic shout suddenly came from the depths of the void, carrying an undeniable pressure that seemed to transcend countless ages, causing everyone's souls to tremble: "Command Talisman!"
Upon hearing this, Jue Wuqing and Zi Chen Shenwang's smiles faded slightly, and their expressions became serious.
Zi Chen God King flipped his hand over, and an ancient bronze token appeared in his palm.
As soon as the talisman was taken out, it emitted a subtle Daoist aura, like a key, and instantly merged into the defensive wall.
A moment later, a merciless voice echoed from within the giant wall: "Pass!"
Buzz—Boom!
A deep rumble reverberated throughout the universe. On the massive black wall that stretched across the heavens and earth on the second line of defense, a pitch-black gate tens of thousands of feet high slowly cracked open. Obscure, eternal Dao patterns flowed through the cracks, emanating a chilling aura of slaughter.
