Chapter 2702
The duo embarked on this path . The stones lit up after the initial contact with their feet . After a buzzing noise, the two were teleported away .
“Boom!” Their next stop was the mouth of a massive volcano .
“Boom!” Frightening lava oozed out, and not just any regular lava . This resembled the flame of a dragon . It burned the world and left scarrings on space itself .
Nevertheless, numerous stone steps were still floating on it, completely unharmed by the scorching lava .
Suddenly, waves of lava directly spouted towards the two and instantly drowned them . Alas, the power lava also failed to harm them due to their bright barriers .
They started walking on the steps above the volcano while being continuously assaulted by lava waves . Just like before, their invincible auras suppressed and nullified the heat .
“Buzz . ” Next, the steps lit up again and teleported them away .
“Whoosh!” When they came out on the other side, they were greeted by many tiny things darting through the air .
The path ladened with floating stones still existed . However, below them was an abyss with unknown creatures shooting out a storm of needles .
Upon closer inspection, these needles were actually poisonous quills growing on the creatures . The cliffs nearby started to corrode after being hit by the quills . A person would turn into smoke in the blink of an eye .
They looked down and saw numerous pairs of green eyes in the darkness . These eyes had a nether glow and were truly creepy .
“Clank! Clank! Clank!” The quills couldn’t hit them before being stopped by their powerful barriers . Sparks went everywhere while they remained unharmed .
The two landed on the right step and disappeared from sight once more via teleportation .
“Buzz . ” They made it deeper and found a terrible heatwave coming from below, almost like the mythical Mountain of Flames . [1]
To the bottom was an endless desert as hot as the inside of a cauldron . The temperature rising up felt like an all-devouring flame .
Strangely enough, to the center was a conspicuous dazzling light, partly due to the reflection of the sun rays .
It turned out that an ore mine existed in the desert with large minerals showing on the surface . If the top already had this many ores, then one could easily imagine what hid at the bottom . This was enough to make people palpitate on sight .
However, upon closer inspection, one would also find many white bones protruding from the sands . Some belonged to beasts and still had remnant divinity .
There was no doubt that some travelers became greedy here and entered the desert, only to die .
At this moment, the sands suddenly rolled over like waves with increasing speed . There was a massive monster swimming below, the real killer that took down these intruders .
Li Qiye and the emperor didn’t care since these ores weren’t enough to tempt them . They stepped on the path again for the next teleportation .
Just like that, the duo transferred numerous times from one area to another in this boundless void .
This continuous jumping was due to the broken path . If it was complete, the process would be faster and direct .
Alas, the current one teleported people to unknown and possibly dangerous locations . For example, that volcano earlier, the abyss, or a mighty flame…
Of course, those at the right power level could handle these perils without any problem . They weren’t impossible to overcome .
This was far easier compared to using the brute force method since the latter required preparation and supporting resources .
A strong being might be able to break through without any complication . However, in a bad case, the result would be worse compared to using these ancient paths . Time and space would crumble - this was enough to kill mighty Eternals and emperors . Thus, these ancient paths were clearly the best choice to reach Immortal Lineage .
“Do you have a destination in mind up in Immortal?” The emperor asked during the teleportations .
“Just going to have a look around to see if there’s something I need or a place I must visit . ” Li Qiye chuckled .
The emperor didn’t mind if he was telling the truth or not . She sincerely invited: “You can come to my grotto if that’s okay with you . I have several friends up there that might be able to lend their assistance . ”
Someone like her naturally had amazing friends . Gaining their support would be very beneficial - doing less but gaining more .
“We’ll see once we get there . ” Li Qiye remained nonchalant about the desirable opportunity .
The emperor knew that they might not be able to help him with his problems . In fact, they might be the ones asking him for assistance later .
“Immortal has many systems and alliances . ” She said: “Just let us know if you need anything in order to avoid needless misunderstandings . ”
Li Qiye smiled: “That’s other people’s problem . They should be celebrating that I’m not out looking for trouble but if they come to me, I’ll show zero mercy . ”
The emperor smiled wryly at his forever overbearing style regardless of the location . She could see a potential bloodbath up there because of him .
Alas, she thought that someone like him was indeed unbeatable and could slaughter anyone standing in his way .
“Of course, I might be more lenient on your friends and their alliances . ” Li Qiye smiled .
“Then I’ll thank you ahead of time, Dao Brother . ” She said with a solemn expression .
Some of the alliances up there consisted of emperors so they were quite mighty . However, she knew that they would still be wiped out by Li Qiye .
