Chapter 756: Chapter 399: The Appearance of Ancient Heavenly Court Ruins and South Heaven Gate in the World! (1/2)
 

The Demon Tribe’s camp.

Upon seeing the far-off scene…

The demon saints were simultaneously shocked, their faces revealing an expression of disbelief.

“How could this be!”

A man with vertical pupils and a cold gaze murmured to himself.

At this moment, they were all incredibly astonished.

The Golden Crow demon saint who had volunteered to go first, having received their unanimous agreement, was only supposed to scout the way ahead.

After all, this was an unexplored ancient heavenly palace relic, the unknown and undocumented South Heaven Gate.

Whether there were dangers or not, no one knew.

Under such circumstances, they naturally couldn’t act rashly.

The Golden Crow demon saint’s readiness to take the lead meant there was no reason for them to oppose him. They were, in fact, delighted with this arrangement.

However, the result of this exploratory venture left them in a state of profound shock.

This was a demon saint, a demon saint with superior magical abilities.

With a thought, he could annihilate all creatures within a million miles. He could even reshape the cosmos, simulating earth, wind, water and fire.

Creating an entirely new microcosm was as easy as flipping over his hand.

Being capable of lodging his primordial spirit in the Great Dao, he could be deemed immortal.

Attempting to kill a demon saint would be incredibly difficult!

But under the ancient mirror, a single beam of golden light revealed, and the Golden Crow demon saint was exposed.

He perished instantly, with his primordial spirit vanishing seamlessly.

This unpredictable divine skill made them feel overwhelmingly horrified.

Death came so effortlessly upon the Golden Crow demon saint.

Had they confronted it themselves, the result would’ve been the same: they would’ve died instantly.

Thinking of such an outcome, how could they not be filled with horror?

Suddenly, the demon saints at the scene fell silent.

…

Human Saints exchanged their divine senses in mid-air, causing a faint quiver in the voidness.

“What do you say?”

“This ancient mirror is too terrifying. That Golden Crow demon saint was in the Second Heaven realm. Yet, he simply perished just like that. As for the journey to the ancient heavenly palace relics, I’m planning to opt-out. If you guys want to, go ahead!”

“I concur! If you guys want to go, go ahead. I don’t wish to risk it anymore.”

“…”

In another place…

Dugu Bo’s brow furrowed slightly as he stared intently at the ancient mirror above the South Heaven Gate.

“Do you two still want to go?”

Jiang Yuan gave a slight nod. “We’re going.”

Jiang Yuan’s words caused Nie Yuan to immediately speak. “Junior Brother, there’s no need to risk it. That’s an obvious dead-end!”

“An exemplary Second Heaven demon saint fell quite simply, without making any ripple.”

“If you choose to go, it’s way too dangerous!”

“No matter what reason, there’s no necessity to take that sort of risk.”

Jiang Yuan looked at the mirror and, after a moment, laughed.

“Senior Brother Nie, you don’t need to worry. This ancient mirror probably only affects the demon tribe, but is ineffective on humans?”

Hearing this, Nie Yuan was taken aback.

“Junior Brother, what do you mean by this?”

Dugu Bo also looked at Jiang Yuan in surprise.

Jiang Yuan said, “The ancient mirror hanging above the South Heaven Gate is known as the demon-revealing mirror. In front of this mirror, all demon creatures can’t conceal their true form.”

“That Golden Crow demon saint, so arrogantly and openly barging into the South Heaven Gate, naturally caused the Demon-Revealing Mirror to operate.”

“Under the divine power of this demon-revealing mirror, it’s normal for the Golden Crow demon saint to fall instantly!”

Nie Yuan was slightly startled upon hearing this.

“Junior Brother, how do you know such a secret!”

At this moment, Ye Chanxi looked on curiously at Jiang Yuan.

Facing Nie Yuan’s question, Jiang Yuan chuckled, “I once read an account of the South Heaven Gate in some fragmented records.”

“It’s the main entrance from the south-side into the ancient heavenly palace!”

“The ancient heavenly palace has four main gates in total, known as the Four Great Heaven’s Gates, being located due south, west, and north.”

“Entering through this gate, one can directly reach the palace of the sovereign of heaven and earth.”

“There’s also a description of this ancient mirror, known as the Demon-Revealing Mirror. Its purpose is to prevent ill-behaved demons from sneaking into the heavenly palace.”

“Hence, this demon-revealing mirror has a major restraining effect on the demon tribe. As for us humans, it’s harmless!”

Hearing these words, Nie Yuan finally spoke.

“Junior Brother, are these words true?”

Jiang Yuan confidently replied, “Senior Brother Nie, rest assured. If there are no accidents, it will definitely be the case. I can go first!”

At this point, Dugu Bo seriously looked at Jiang Yuan.

“Think it over. Just now, this ancient mirror immediately killed a demon saint upon reflection.”

“If the records were mistaken, relying solely on the divine power displayed by this mirror just now, even I would be unable to save your life from the mirror light!”

Then suddenly, Ye Chanxi said, “Holy Emperor, you don’t have to worry. I will go and investigate it.”

“Are you sure? This journey is extremely dangerous. If the records are wrong, you’ll die on the spot. Plus, you’re carrying Jiang Yuan’s child!”

Dugu Bo said with a serious face.

“What? Junior Brother has a child?”

Nie Yuan was greatly surprised.

Jiang Yuan, hearing this, slowly nodded.

At this time, Ye Chanxi also spoke, “I trust him!”

Jiang Yuan said, “Then I’ll leave it to you!”

Ye Chanxi nodded slightly, “Don’t worry!”

As soon as her words fell, a phantom separated from her body, immediately transforming into a woman in a black dress.

Her face was also hidden under a black veil, making it impossible to see her true countenance. Her aura was indistinguishable from that of Ye Chanxi.

Jiang Yuan was used to this.

However, Dugu Bo appeared slightly surprised, and praised, “Amazing method; I actually can’t tell the difference between the two!”

Nie Yuan also slowly nodded, “Indeed a clever method; I can’t tell either!”

The avatar of Ye Chanxi turned into a black phantom and dashed towards the South Heaven Gate.

Meanwhile…

The black phantom that approached the South Heaven Gate instantly attracted numerous gaze of scrutiny.
