It must be said that Hell Star 19th Layer was extremely bizarre.
It didn't have obvious dangers, but it subtly drove people mad.
Next, Jun Xiaoyao seemed to experience endless Reincarnation.
He was once a spirited young Cultivator, but ultimately, his bones were buried on the Emperor Road.
He was a young man who wanted to revitalize his Family, but he bled on the Emperor Road mercilessly.
He even experienced a lovesick woman who stepped onto the Emperor Road, wanting to pursue the Prodigy she loved.
The result was that she never saw that Prodigy once until her death, and that Prodigy didn't even know of her existence.
Resentment, hatred, unwillingness!
All sorts of negative emotions, like poison, began to infect Jun Xiaoyao's consciousness.
This was the unwillingness of countless living beings buried on the Emperor Road.
Why were some people high and mighty?
And why were they the withered bones paving the way?
This power of resentment was extremely terrifying.
Even Jun Xiaoyao's Three Lifetimes Primordial Spirit showed faint signs of turning black.
"Great Sun Tathagata!"
Jun Xiaoyao activated the Present World Tathagata Sutra, and a majestic Great Sun Tathagata Dharma Idol emerged, wanting to suppress the evil.
But that monstrous resentment was too terrifying; even the Great Sun Tathagata found it difficult to suppress.
"This Hell Star 19th Layer is indeed dangerous; although there are no obvious killing intents, it kills people invisibly in the dark."
Jun Xiaoyao also sighed.
Even the strongest person would be vulnerable to this kind of consciousness pollution, and would break down if they weren't careful.
Jun Xiaoyao seemed to have gone through thousands of Reincarnations.
But in the outside world, only a little over a month had passed.
During this month, the Prodigies who were training on Hell Star had almost all returned.
The entire Hell Star was about to close.
Mu Yuehan, Golden Winged Little Peng King, and the Immortal Marrow King, Little Xian'er, also returned.
Some Prodigies looked at Little Xian'er with fiery eyes, but they dared not make any presumptuous moves.
Because Little Xian'er belonged to Jun Xiaoyao.
Although no one knew if Jun Xiaoyao could emerge from Hell Star 19th Layer.
But after witnessing Jun Xiaoyao's strength, no one would test him again, because a slight mistake could cost them their lives.
"It's been over a month, and the Jun Family Divine Child still hasn't come out."
"Yes, I heard that the Desolate Heaven Battlefield at the end of the Eighteenth Pass of the Emperor Road will open soon, and then Prodigies from all paths will gather there to compete for the Dao Certification Mark and the title of Emperor Road King."
"The Desolate Heaven Battlefield, that is the Ultimate Trial Ground of the Emperor Road in the Desolate Heaven Immortal Domain, possessing endless Opportunities. If one can obtain the legendary Dao Certification Mark, their future achievement will at least be a Quasi-Emperor."
"If the Jun Family Divine Child participates, not to mention directly becoming an Emperor Road King, he could at least obtain a Dao Certification Mark."
"But looking at the current situation, it's still uncertain whether the Jun Family Divine Child can come out."
The Prodigies on the Dao field were all discussing.
If one could obtain a Dao Certification Mark, it would be extremely beneficial for embarking on the Ultimate Ancient Road later.
And if one could obtain the title of Emperor Road King, it could almost be said that they would be the leader of this Emperor Road in the Desolate Heaven Immortal Domain, and would be adorned with endless glory and honor.
Given Jun Xiaoyao's current performance, he was one of the most likely people to contend for this honor.
But now, over a month had passed, and Hell Star had even closed.
Yet Jun Xiaoyao showed no sign of movement.
Had it not been for Jun Xiaoyao's exceptionally brilliant performance before, many people would even think that Jun Xiaoyao might have truly fallen.
However, the situation was indeed as some people thought.
Jun Xiaoyao's situation was indeed not too good.
Before, he was able to emerge safely from the Bronze Immortal Palace, in addition to various factors.
The most important reason was the Karma between the Bronze Immortal Palace and the Ghost-Masked Woman.
And he also had an inexplicable Karma with the Ghost-Masked Woman.
Because of this relationship, Jun Xiaoyao could treat the Bronze Immortal Palace as his own home.
If anyone else entered, even a Supreme, they would be annihilated.
But Hell Star 19th Layer was different.
There was no Karma between this incredible place and Jun Xiaoyao.
In other words, Jun Xiaoyao could only rely on himself to pass this challenge.
...
For the outside world, it was only a little over a month.
But for Jun Xiaoyao, who was deeply trapped in the Nineteenth Level of Hell Star, it felt like thousands of Reincarnations had passed.
He had possessed countless Prodigies who had fallen on the Emperor Road, and each time, he died with endless despair.
Once or twice, it might not feel like much.
But when a person experiences that endless despair, that abyss-like death, thousands of times.
No one can guarantee that they won't go mad.
At least, if it were any other Prodigy, even a Supreme, they couldn't last longer than Jun Xiaoyao.
Jun Xiaoyao's invincible Dao Heart had already undergone countless trials and would not collapse so easily.
But even so, facing this endless torment, even Jun Xiaoyao felt a bit weary.
"This is truly a tormenting challenge," Jun Xiaoyao thought to himself.
His Primordial Spirit power gradually began to fade, and layers of dark resentment and sin stained his Primordial Spirit.
Finally, after experiencing another ten thousand Reincarnations, Jun Xiaoyao's Primordial Spirit was almost completely black.
At that moment, even Jun Xiaoyao himself was powerless to change the situation.
Just as Jun Xiaoyao was preparing his last resort, to fight to the death.
A fragmented ancient talisman suddenly appeared.
"This is..."
Jun Xiaoyao was stunned, and then he remembered.
This was the half-fragmented ancient talisman he had taken from Wang Teng when he was in the Bronze Immortal Palace.
This fragmented ancient talisman, inscribed with the character "Luan", possessed the power to protect the Primordial Spirit.
Even if Wang Teng's Primordial Spirit was severed, he could recover with it.
And now, this fragmented ancient talisman once again emitted a faint glow, like a spark in the darkness.
As the fragmented ancient talisman was activated, Jun Xiaoyao vaguely seemed to see a majestic figure gradually emerge.
In his ears, a powerful voice, filled with endless tenacious will, resounded.
"In my first half of life, I fought ten thousand battles, and lost every single one, never gaining a single victory!"
"After ten thousand defeats, I transformed from a Saint into a demon, reversing Yin and Yang, turning life and death upside down, and achieving profound cultivation!"
"In my latter half of life, I fought ten thousand battles, and won every single one, never suffering a single defeat!"
The deafening voice echoed in Jun Xiaoyao's consciousness.
That half-fragmented ancient talisman also released immeasurable divine radiance, illuminating the vast darkness.
Jun Xiaoyao's consciousness was startled, awakening like a sleeping lion.
These words reminded him of a person, a true legend among Emperors.
Luan Gu Great Emperor!
A Great Emperor whose life was full of hardships, having tasted ten thousand defeats.
It could be said that he was an anomaly among Great Emperors.
Other Great Emperors, from birth, astonished the universe and were bathed in glory.
But he rose from obscurity, revived from the wilderness, one step at a time.
He never won a single battle in his first half of life, and never lost a single battle in his latter half of life.
Jun Xiaoyao had previously read about the deeds of Luan Gu Great Emperor in some ancient texts.
And at this moment, Jun Xiaoyao's consciousness trembled as he looked at the fragmented ancient talisman.
Looking at the character "Luan" carved on the ancient talisman, Jun Xiaoyao could finally confirm.
This fragmented ancient talisman was precisely the Langu Imperial Talisman, the Imperial Weapon of the Luan Gu Great Emperor!
