The four skeletons were each a thousand zhang in size!
"Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Qilin, Xuanwu, the four ancient divine beast races. We've reached the core! I never imagined that the patriarchs of the four races, who once stood at the pinnacle of the planes, were refined by the Immortal Lord to be the eyes of the Four Symbols Array, erected here to suppress the primordial spirit of the Candle Dragon! What a grand undertaking!"
Xia Xin Yu's face was pale and bloodless, greatly frightened. After a long while, she said, "These four sets of bones are the former patriarchs of the four races, each a top-tier Chaos Dao Venerable. In the battle of Changsheng City, their blood was spilled in the void, and they died at the hands of the Void Demons. The fact that these four skeletons have been preserved so completely likely required the Immortal Lord to expend considerable effort."
Surrounding them on all sides were hundreds of supreme beings, with the beings from the Eight Great Families being the most numerous, followed by powers like the Yun Clan Immortal Dynasty. All beings present dared not tread the void. Their incredibly powerful auras made one feel as if they had returned to ancient times, their terrifying presence unsettling the mind.
To the west, a dragon bone stretching a thousand zhang lay with its four legs planted on the ground, its dragon head pointing towards the western sky. A thick azure light enveloped the thousand-zhang skeleton.
To the east, the White Tiger skeleton suppressed one direction. The killing intent capable of annihilating a Supreme Profound Venerate indicated that it was likely the result of prolonged attrition that caused the killing intent to remain at this level, yet it was still terrifying.
To the north stood not a Vermilion Bird, but a Qilin with its bones burning with flames, its four legs planted on the ground. There was only one Vermilion Bird in existence, and the Immortal Lord had not yet arrived on this plane when the Vermilion Bird disappeared.
To the south, the Xuanwu stood firm, its heavy aura pressing the ground in the south to be three zhang deeper than the other three directions!
The two massive pits exuded a powerful aura in all directions, filled with killing intent, as if four powerful beings were suppressing this place. Supremes were not even ants before them.
"If this is indeed the core, then what explains these two deep pits?"
Dian Wei frowned, scanning the surroundings without understanding, and couldn't help but ask.
"I'm not too sure either!"
Xia Xin Yu frowned, her expression grave.
"What's going on? Where did Chu Sheng go?"
In front of the White Tiger skeleton, Chu Shang, the leading Supreme of the Chu family, asked the several Supremes behind him with a cold expression.
"That's right, according to the timing, Chu Sheng should have arrived here by now!"
Chu Fan, another prodigy of the Chu family, frowned. He looked around, not finding Chu Sheng, and said, "He must have been delayed by something. Given his strength, there shouldn't be any problem!"
"It's best if that's the case. If he still hasn't arrived after the opening, we can report to the clan hall to have him removed!"
Chu Shang glanced around, then closed his eyes.
All beings present were seated around the periphery of the four skeletons. The array had not yet dispersed, and advancing further meant death. They could only wait for the array to crumble before they could enter the two large pits.
No one knew if this was truly the core, or if the sealed location was not in the south. All beings waited anxiously.
"These two deep pits don't look like they were left by a battle. Look at the edges of the pits; they are incredibly neat, and there are flowing halos. They must have been deliberately created."
Long Ju observed for a while and said.
"The divine power flowing through this array is truly extraordinary. To use the bones of the four race patriarchs as the eyes of the array, this must be the place!"
Xia Xin Yu's expression was calm, but her body trembled with unease.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, the two bottomless, massive pits erupted with boundless divine light, and the entire array sealing this place began to weaken.
Rumble!!
As the boundless divine light dissipated, two giant golden pillars of light shot up from the ground, reaching straight into the heavens. With a rumbling sound, the four skeletons suddenly vibrated, and the array surrounding them at this moment shattered with a crash.
Half an hour later, the four skeletons vanished, and the golden pillars of light, which had risen for half an hour, continued to pierce the sky.
The golden divine light penetrated the void, and two massive golden divine gates descended. Under the constant impact of divine power, they creaked open, releasing a sweeping desolate aura from within, deep and vast!
"Two passages?"
All beings present were shocked. How should they choose between the two passages? For the Eight Great Families, the most critical issue at this moment was which of the two was the true place where the Candle Dragon's primordial spirit was sealed!
"Hong family, Chu family, you go to the left. We, along with the Jiangzuo aristocratic family, will go to the right!"
A being shouted. The Chu family, Hong family, Jiangzuo aristocratic family, and Hun family were the first to move, respectively entering the two passages.
"Let's go! One word: not one will survive!"
A Supreme of the Zhan family roared. The Zhan family, Wang family, Jian family, and Gu family, four clans, moved together and entered the two passages.
"Charge!!"
After the Eight Great Families entered, the Supremes surrounding them finally stepped into the void and surged into the two passages.
Boom!
Suddenly, in the sky above, beings began to fight, killing each other incessantly, all wanting to eliminate some contenders to reduce the competition.
"Two passages, what does the Immortal Lord mean by this?"
Dian Wei looked up at the void.
"One of them must be the true place where the Candle Dragon's primordial spirit is sealed. As for the other, it's hard to say!"
Xia Xin Yu said with a frown.
"We have to choose one to enter. It's not good if we split up. Just the four of us. If we split further, we might not be able to handle it. The situation inside will surely be more brutal than outside. It's best to stick together!"
General Yang Youji said nervously, watching the beings continuously enter the passages.
"General Yang Youji speaks well. I think Miss Xia should choose. No matter which one it is, there will be some gain. This array came from the Immortal Lord, and these two passages must have some clues. They won't disappoint Miss Xia!"
Long Ju said in a deep voice.
"Then let's go to the left. I just want to see for myself. Whatever I get, I get. The gate to the Immortal Realm is not easily opened, and even if I obtain it, I may not have the strength to enter!"
"Let's go!"
Xia Xin Yu said softly, her tone carrying a hint of unwillingness. Two passages, who could have predicted this.
"Let's go!"
The four of them stepped into the void, directly passing many beings. Their powerful auras suppressed many beings. In a few breaths, they arrived at the entrance of the passage.
"Boom!"
The four of them heard a roaring sound in their ears, and immediately felt dizzy and disoriented, as if they were floating. It took a long, long time before they could control their bodies. As their consciousness cleared, they saw a vast expanse of stars and a stretching galaxy before their eyes!
