Chapter 2155: World Law Beacon

He crouched on the ground, reaching out to feel the ghostly lines above. After a moment, he stood up and said, "Let's go."

Shang Liuyu couldn't help but ask him, "What exactly is your plan to deal with these people? Can you give me a hint first?"

Zu An smiled slightly and replied, "It won't work if I tell you."

"Hmph, how stingy," Shang Liuyu grumbled, feeling a bit annoyed. This guy was truly infuriating; she wished she could bite him.

However, she immediately thought of the way her sister had been biting him recently, and her face instantly flushed.

Zu An looked at her in confusion. Why had she suddenly gotten angry? Given her personality, she shouldn't be so petty.

Just then, a series of exclamations came from ahead. The two stepped forward to look and found that the interior resembled a temple, with many fierce-looking stone statues lining both sides of the path.

Each of the stone statues was several meters tall, resembling neither dragons nor lizards. Their expressions were exceptionally lifelike, and the eyes of all the statues were fixed on these uninvited guests, creating an exceptionally eerie atmosphere. It was no wonder that even many demons were startled into strange cries.

Shang Liuyu also felt a chill when stared at by the statues. She quietly moved closer to Zu An and whispered, "These aren't alive, are they?"

"Probably not," Zu An reassured her. "After such a long time, even if they were alive, they'd be long dead." Yet, he couldn't help but feel a strange unease. These statues were simply too lifelike, just like... like living creatures petrified by Yu Yanluo's Medusa's Eye.

At this point, the Bloodthirsty Crocodile Patriarch and the other demons were also scolding their subordinates for being overly startled. It should be others who feared them; how could they be so easily frightened?

The group continued deeper inside, finding the main path extremely long, and the statues lining its sides began to change.

Initially, they were still the same dragon-like, lizard-like monsters, but their size was several times larger than before, reaching over ten meters tall. These were followed by some oddly shaped creatures with three heads and six arms. Further on, there were even statues with human bodies and dragon tails.

Zu An frowned inwardly. After entering the Tomb of Ten Thousand Dragons, the initial statues had seemed somewhat sacred, but these new ones were extremely bizarre, each emanating a menacing aura.

But what was even stranger was that a faint fragrance seemed to permeate the air. The scent was so refreshing, as if every part of one's body was rejoicing.

Zu An frowned slightly. Such an eerie environment, combined with this mysterious fragrance, felt like some kind of trap.

However, after he carefully examined it, the fragrance seemed to be harmless.

Just then, Shang Liuyu's hesitant voice came, "These statues..."

"Did you think of something?" Zu An asked, surprised. Shang Liuyu was the only one of sea-race origin present; perhaps she knew something others didn't.

"These monsters resemble some of the enforcement squads mentioned in sea-race history," Shang Liuyu secretly transmitted, her voice full of emotion. "Legend has it that each individual was extremely skilled in combat. During wartime, the sea race used them for charges, and during peacetime, they served as enforcement squads, apprehending powerful tribesmen who committed wrongdoings. I always thought these were just legends; I never expected to actually see their statues."

Zu An's heart tensed. Enforcement squads, he thought...

Coupled with the current eerie and malevolent gazes, he couldn't shake the feeling that this place was unsafe.

At that moment, something stirred within him, and he looked up towards the front.

At the same time, exclamations came from the Bloodthirsty Crocodile Patriarch and the other demons. Even the Fear Shadow Demon, the calmest of the three, had a trembling voice as he cried, "Found it!"

A few miles directly ahead, there was a tall altar. On the altar, shimmering with brilliant colors, was what appeared to be a rainbow.

No wonder the surroundings weren't as dark as they had imagined when they first entered. It turned out that the light was emanating from this object, capable of illuminating such a great distance.

"A rainbow?" Zu An was surprised, wondering what exactly this thing was.

Just then, Mi Li's voice suddenly rang out in his mind: "That's a World Law Beacon!"

Her voice was somewhat agitated, clearly indicating that this object was quite extraordinary.

"What is a World Law Beacon?" Zu An was surprised. He looked at the rainbow again, amazed that even Queen Mi Li had been stirred awake.

"A World Law Beacon is the manifestation of a world's laws," Mi Li quickly explained. "To some extent, you can understand it as the supreme control of this world. Once anyone grasps this beacon, they become the master of this world to all other realms. They can freely open or close this world's barrier."

Zu An was startled. No wonder these demons were so meticulously planning to obtain this object. It was known that in ancient times, they had apparently attacked this world once, and both attempts failed because they were blocked by the world barrier. Thus, even the exceptionally powerful entities among the demons couldn't enter this world.

Even if they found other secret methods to forcibly descend, they would still be suppressed to an acceptable level by the world barrier, which gave the experts of this world a chance to defeat them.

If this World Law Beacon fell into the hands of the demons, they could invade this world without restraint. How could this world possibly fight back?

Mi Li's voice sounded again: "Haven't you always lamented that once your power reaches a certain level, you can no longer break through, as if something is restricting you? As long as you possess this World Law Beacon, and then find other World Law Beacons to merge with it, you can merge two worlds together, strengthening the origin of this world. At that time, not only you, but all cultivators in this world will see their cultivation rise."

Zu An's heart pounded wildly upon hearing this. For countless years, countless exceptionally talented human cultivators, after reaching the Earth Immortal realm, had been unable to progress further, precisely because of the suppression from the world's origin. Once the world's origin was strengthened, breaking through to higher realms would be virtually guaranteed for individuals like Zhao Hao and the Old Demon Emperor.

They had searched everywhere for methods of immortality, never expecting the true solution to be here!

"That's strange," Mi Li muttered to herself in confusion. "Typical World Law Beacons aren't so brightly colored. Only more powerful worlds have more colors. But this world clearly isn't that powerful..."

Just then, Zu An's eyes suddenly widened, and his breathing quickened. He had no time to listen to Mi Li's words.

He saw a golden, shimmering herb next to the altar. The herb was shaped like a miniature dragon, with a few leaves resembling dragon claws, gently swaying. At its dragon head was a plump fruit, and a rich, fragrant aroma emanated from it.

It was only because everyone's attention had previously been entirely on the colorful World Law Beacon, and the altar had obstructed their view, that they hadn't noticed this herb growing in the nearby corner.

The tangible, dense dragon energy emanated from it. Although Zu An had never seen it before, he recognized it instantly: "The Divine Dragon Immortality Herb!"

The Divine Dragon Immortality Herb he had painstakingly searched for actually existed! Hong Lei was saved!
