Chapter 5488 The Cruel Path

Chapter 5488 The Cruel Path

That place was a true purgatory.

Even the supreme-peak experts couldn't guarantee their safety in that place. It was a place where even peak figures like Shan Jun could possibly fall. If they were to fall down there, it was doubtful that anyone would come to their rescue in time, and they might meet their demise.

Dongshen and Wanyan were not very familiar with the Second Prison, so Jian Wushuang recounted the information he had learned from Wu Zuo.

The two had somber expressions, and hesitation filled their hearts.

Cultivators traversed a perilous path, dancing on the edge of a blade with each step, each move a gamble.

But they also calculated their gains and losses.

The inheritance of the Universe Master was undoubtedly important, but compared to one's own life, it seemed somewhat less worthwhile.

Jian Wushuang quickly made up his mind; whoever wanted to go, let them go. He certainly wouldn't.

Taking Divine General Moyin as his master would be good. Currently, he was lacking such a powerful backing.

Divine General Moyin was not under the jurisdiction of the Elder Palace; he was a core member of Qishen Temple, even surpassing the Elder Palace and the Four Great Temples in influence.

Although the glory of the past was no longer there, with the strength of the supreme-peak and being the Ultimate Emperor, at least he could guide Jian Wushuang a bit.

"Daoist Friend Wushuang, do you know what kind of beings are imprisoned in the Second Prison?" Wanyan was still a bit unwilling to give up.

Dongshen had broken through to tier 6 and had the ability to go to the Grave God Mountain.

He could choose not to take risks, but he was still a distance away from tier 6. In the river of time and space, he had already completed the cosmic secret techniques he had obtained, and now he lacked a legacy that could help him.

He didn't want to give up this excellent opportunity.

Jian Wushuang shook his head. He only knew that the Second Prison was very dangerous, capable of causing the fall of supreme-peak experts. As for the beings imprisoned, he truly had no idea.

Standing beside them, Dongshen patted Wanyan on the shoulder and comforted him, "A true man is born between heaven and earth, able to advance and retreat. Don't be reckless for a momentary danger!"ph!" Wanyan snorted coldly, retorting, "You've already broken through to tier 6, so you're not in a hurry. But my realm is still far behind, and the Dao of the Shadow is the most difficult. Without that cosmic inheritance, I don't know when I'll be able to cultivate to what level!"

Dongshen, seeing this, withdrew his hand, unsure of what to say.

That is true!

The Dao is cruel; if you don't compete, you'll be left behind, surpassed by future generations, surpassed by peers.

They were all anxious, especially within the Qishen Temple. If they didn't progress quickly, once the gap widened, it would be challenging to catch up.

Saying so, who could guarantee that his power of all things wasn't picky?

He never thought that the universal inheritance he obtained in the primitive realm would be related to the sword dao. Hence, he made the decision to give it up without hesitation.

"I'm going too!" Jian Wushuang was startled; he never expected Dongshen to tread the same precarious path.

"Haha, since we're here, not taking a stroll would surely be a lifelong regret. Wanyan, I'll accompany you!" Dongshen grinned.

At this moment, he truly wished to be born as a mighty being in the vast expanse of the heavens and earth.

Wanyan's expression changed, then he chuckled, "What's the matter? Are you afraid that I'll surpass you in inheriting the Universe Master's legacy?"

"Don't even say that. I did worry about that!" This

statement was clearly a jest, a way to lighten the mood as they faced imminent death.

Jian Wushuang smiled, "Then let me congratulate you two in advance. May you succeed and inherit the legacy of the Universe Master!"

These two individuals were truly prepared to go all out. Wanyan possessed the Myriad Shadows, and Dongshen was a tier 6 Emperor.

With some means at their disposal, they probably had a chance to survive under the pressure of a supreme-peak opponent.

However, Jian Wushuang had none of these advantages.

Even with the most powerful means, merely surviving under a tier 6 Emperor was considered good, not to mention facing the formidable supreme-peak experts.

"Wushuang, aren't you going?" Dongshen asked in surprise.

Wanyan, however, laughed and scolded, "Jian Wushuang follows the Ultimate Dao. Can you compare to him?"

"Oh, I almost forgot. Wushuang doesn't need to go all out!" Suddenly, Dongshen remembered that Jian Wushuang had embarked on the Ultimate Dao.

He would undoubtedly become much stronger than them in the future, with greater potential, and Qishen Temple would focus on nurturing him. There was no need for him to go all out.

Seeing these two individuals going all out, Jian Wushuang couldn't help but feel a bit itchy to join the fray and inadvertently revealed the truth.

"To be honest, I'm still just a Dao Lord. If I were an Emperor, I wouldn't give up this time. It's just that the gap in strength is too significant, and I don't have confidence!" Jian Wushuang spoke with a hint of desolation.

Upon hearing that Jian Wushuang was only a Dao Lord, Dongshen and Wanyan were astonished.

"You're a Dao Lord?"

"How is that possible? In the Blood Dance, you weren't much weaker than the two of us. Can a Dao Lord compare to a tier 6 Emperor?" Wanyan was particularly surprised!
