Strongest Lord by Opening Blind Boxes

Chapter 414: Chapter 298: Void Celestial Divine Map

The third level of the Mad Secret Realm.

The waves surged, fiery like a sea of flames.

Wang Yi, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, Tie Suifeng, and Jiang Kui appeared on a small island. They looked up and saw a golden ocean stretching before them.

In the middle of the ocean, not too far away, stood a massive palace. It was golden and resplendent, shimmering with starlight, giving it a magnificent yet somewhat unreal appearance.

”This place is...”

Jiang Kui gazed at the golden ocean, feeling an inexplicable sense of comfort.

”This is the Sea of Dusk, the resting place of the gods.”

Wang Yi said faintly.

”The Sea of Dusk, the resting place of the gods? How do you know?”

Tie Suifeng asked.

Wang Yi pointed to a nearby stone stele, on which were written three characters in the Ancient Divine Language.

These three characters held infinite meanings, but from their appearance on the stele, Wang Yi could only decipher the phrase: ”Sea of Dusk, resting place of the gods.”

Jiang Kui looked at the stele and said, ”Brother Xingzhe, don’t tell me you also know the Ancient Divine Language?”

”I studied it for a few days. I only know the basics.”

As he spoke, Wang Yi turned to the Profound Celestial Stele, took out the Six Forbidden Divine Swords, and quickly found the key within them that matched this fourth stele, temporarily disabling its teleportation function.

Turning back again, Wang Yi said, ”This island can be seen at a glance, so there’s nothing worth exploring. Follow me to the Void Celestial Divine Hall!”

With that, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion let out a roar and carried Wang Yi straight toward the Void Celestial Divine Hall.

Jiang Kui and Tie Suifeng followed at once. It seemed the two now looked to Wang Yi for leadership.

A moment later, the three of them and the lion arrived before the Void Celestial Divine Hall.

The Void Celestial Divine Hall was already open. Its great doors stood wide open, and starlight shimmered from within, making it seem like another world.

Two Golden Armor Guards stood before the entrance to the Void Celestial Divine Hall. The two guards were thirty feet tall and already dead, without a trace of life about them, but they used their weapons to prop themselves up, still maintaining a standing posture.

The Insight Divine Techniques told Wang Yi that the two guards were indeed dead. Their Battle Armor was damaged in many places, bearing numerous marks of combat. They had most likely died in battle.

’These must be two more Mad Gods. Their souls have been extinguished. I wonder who killed them.’

Wang Yi thought to himself as he entered the Void Celestial Divine Hall. He felt as if he had arrived in a bustling city market. There was a wide avenue ahead, lined with buildings on both sides. There were vendors by the roadside and pedestrians on the street.

But whether they were pedestrians or vendors, all of them were dried-up corpses. They were all Ancient God Players, with varying levels. The lowest were merely Mortals, while the highest were only around level 100!

The Insight Divine Techniques revealed to Wang Yi that these Ancient God Players were truly the walking dead. Most of them were already completely deceased but were being controlled by some unknown power, causing them to still move about as if they were alive.

Mad Gods like Li Lu, who possessed a degree of self-awareness, were very rare.

”So this is the Void Celestial Divine Hall... It feels like a city!”

Jiang Kui observed his surroundings cautiously. Even though he was a Level 401 Venerable Jiaolong from the Mingyu Divine Country, his face was filled with shock.

”Are... are these all Mad Gods? Some of them don’t seem very strong!”

Tie Suifeng’s face was also pale, and he didn’t dare to make any rash moves.

Wang Yi said, ”Keep your head down and don’t look anyone in the eye. They are infected and controlled by a strange power. If you make eye contact with them, you’ll be infected too and might lose your sense of self. Perhaps this is the real reason they’re called Mad Gods!”

Hearing this, Jiang Kui and Tie Suifeng glanced at each other. Neither said another word, but each was lost in their own thoughts.

Following the wide and ”bustling” street for a while, Wang Yi’s group of three people and one lion arrived at a large square.

On this grand square were numerous dried corpses sitting cross-legged. They faced the center of the square, appearing as if they were in Cultivation.

In the center of the square stood the remains of a shattered statue. It was so severely broken that its original form was completely unrecognizable.

And among these seated figures, some were true dried corpses, while others still had identity information, having become beings similar to Li Lu and Tarvali.

Here, Wang Yi discovered a Level 666 Ancient God Player named ”Taihao.” His class was [Star Sea Priest], and he sat motionlessly, holding a scroll in his hands.

That scroll was named [Classic of Mountains and Seas] and shone with specks of starlight!

Wang Yi couldn’t see the specific details of the [Classic of Mountains and Seas], but it was clear that this scripture was extraordinary.

As Wang Yi was sizing up Taihao, a faint glow lit up around Taihao’s body. A bit of life returned to him, and he opened his eyes, revealing pupils like swirling starry nebulas.

’I have the protection of the Ancestral Divine Hall. I should be able to resist his soul contamination!’

Wang Yi raised his gaze and proactively met Taihao’s eyes.

Instantly, the Spiritual Law manifested, and Wang Yi was once again pulled into a world that was half-real, half-illusion.

The Ancient God Taihao walked out of the Chaotic Void and stopped before the Ancestral Divine Hall. He held the [Classic of Mountains and Seas] in his hand. Dressed in simple cloth robes and sporting a long beard, he resembled a scholar.

However, there was no black aura around his body.

Taihao spoke, uttering a single, complex syllable in the Ancient Divine Language.

Wang Yi stood stunned for three full minutes.

It took him all that time to absorb the entirety of the information packed into that one-character word.

To his surprise, this Ancient God Player named Taihao hadn’t been heavily corrupted by Evil Spirits. He warned Wang Yi that he would abide by the system’s settings and allow those who entered the Divine Hall to seek their fortune, which lay within the Void Celestial Divine Map located further inside.

However, intruders were not permitted to harm a single blade of grass or a single tree. Otherwise, he would personally intervene and trap them in this world forever as inescapable slaves.

Wang Yi pondered this information for a long time before asking, ”Li Lu once asked me to enter the Great Dream Immortal Map and awaken the Master of the Heart!”
