The Most Powerful Bodyguard

Chapter 1256: Chapter 1256: Battle Within the Gate

Said and done.

Yang Yan suddenly reached out his hand, beginning to comprehend the mysteries of this door.

Sure enough, he did not feel even a hint of repulsion, and easily touched the door.

The five somewhat beleaguered Exotic Beasts finally caught their breath and returned to Yang Yan’s side.

They looked at Yang Yan’s strange behavior, appearing somewhat puzzled.

But they quickly discovered that Yang Yan was indeed able to easily touch the door.

Just moments ago, they had exerted all their strength, without even touching the door, before being flipped over by a massive repelling force.

"Master, have you discovered anything?" Of course, the Cold Flood Dragon didn’t know Yang Yan’s thoughts, thinking only that he was searching for a way to open the door.

"This door must have some sort of mechanism, brute force like yours can’t solve the problem." Yang Yan wouldn’t disclose his real thoughts to them and said casually.

But before he finished speaking, he really did discover something.

Not knowing what mechanism was triggered, a hole suddenly appeared in the middle of the door.

It looked like... a keyhole!

All of a sudden, Yang Yan became excited.

The keyhole’s shape and size were identical to the Mysterious Key he had obtained.

He had never known what the key was for, but unexpectedly, it awaited him here!

"A keyhole, but where can we possibly find a key?" The Cold Flood Dragon, unaware that Yang Yan held the key, spat out in exasperation.

"Hahaha! There’s no need for you to worry about this." Yang Yan suddenly burst into loud laughter. As he spoke, he nonchalantly took an item from his Space Ring, precisely the key he had recently acquired in the Underground Hall of the Demon Cave.

Ka-chink—

As Yang Yan inserted the key, the door shimmered with light, while the key slightly rotated under an irresistible force, and after several turns, the heavy door slowly began to open.

Shff!

Dazzling light shone through, brilliance filling the air, making it hard to gaze directly.

After a few seconds, Yang Yan gradually adjusted.

He rubbed his slightly stinging eyes and looked at the gradually opening heavy door.

Not only him, but the five Exotic Beasts behind him were also astonished.

Regardless of what secrets or dangers lay behind the door, after much effort, they could finally venture inside to find out.

Yang Yan took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the overwhelming sense of oppression from the ancient aura behind the door, and tentatively released his Divine Sense to probe the inside.

However, his Divine Sense did not cross the threshold, seemingly blocked by an invisible barrier.

Before long, the door fully opened, the light gradually dissipated, and the scene inside quickly came into view, stunning the man and the five beasts.

"Is this... the legendary Immortal Realm?"

The Cold Flood Dragon had its massive eyes wide open, too shocked to speak.

Everything before their eyes was simply too overwhelming.

Inside the door, the palaces stretched endlessly, resplendent with golden light and radiant colors.

In the misty clouds, dragons flew and phoenixes danced, great birds soared across the sky, all exuding auspiciousness.

"Could this possibly be the closed World Gate of the Ancient Times?" Yang Yan murmured suspiciously.

He suspected this was the very World Gate that the Immortal Realm once abandoned and later closed when leaving this Star Universe.

Given how spectacular everything looked, no other explanation seemed plausible.

After a moment of silence, Yang Yan snapped out of his shock, turning to the Cold Flood Dragon and the other beasts and asked, "Would you like to come inside and explore with me?"

The five Exotic Beasts, without even thinking, vigorously nodded in unison, their eyes filled with eagerness.

Obviously, they also harbored a strong yearning for the legendary Immortal Realm.

Said and done, Yang Yan prepared to step inside first.

Yet, just as he lifted his front foot, a sense of crisis suddenly arose in his heart, causing his raised foot to halt abruptly.

Huh?

Raising his eyes to look inside again, a scene of devastation came into view.

This Secret Realm was suddenly shrouded in darkness, no light could be seen, Dragon Scales filled the sky, Great Eagles with broken wings, blood spilled everywhere.

The golden palaces turned dim and gloomy, blood stained everywhere, horrifying to behold.

Vaguely, cries of mourning, screams, pleas for help echoed, shaking the very soul.

The peaceful area instantly turned into Purgatory, with youthful talents bleeding out, the elderly, weak, women, and children powerless to stand...

All was due to that black mist.

Thud!

With a loud crash, an ethereal old man with bones white as jade burst out of the black mist, a majestic aura radiating around him, dispersing part of the black mist.

Behind him stood a group of young men and women.

Each one had an imposing presence, with sharp and outstanding features, clearly born with extraordinary talent and mastery of Ultimate Skills.

Hmm?

That is...

Yang Yan’s attention was drawn to the longsword in a young man’s hand.

Because the item he held was extraordinarily remarkable.

Yang Yan had only ever seen such a holy, golden-glowing item in ancient texts.

This item was incredibly sturdy, impervious to any methods, everlasting, known as Immortal Gold.

Nowadays, such a thing could no longer be found on the Wandering Dragon Star.

This object is extremely rare, a rare and exceptional treasure.

Even in a spiritually abundant Star Universe, obtaining a piece is uncertain.

Such veins are often formed through countless years of nurturing by the heavens and the earth, and the virtuous possess them.

Yet, to see so many here, and they are crafted into longswords?

What fortune, paired with what cultivation, is required to wield such Immortal Soldiers?

Subsequently, Yang Yan’s gaze fell upon the remaining young individuals.

It was fine until he looked, but once he did, envy and jealousy welled up in his heart.

Each of them wielded weapons that were legendary treasures, sought after fervently by everyone in the past and the present.

Yang Yan unconsciously compared them to his own Star Night, Illusory Night, and Asura, items of mid-tier earthly grade, feeling a sense of inferiority.

The weapons held by these young men and women were superior by unknown levels compared to his.

Shifting his gaze to the old man, he saw the old man held a nine-petal disk in front.

How familiar!

Yang Yan was momentarily stunned as the disk greatly resembled the Reincarnation Seal on him.

Could it be that the weapon wielded by the old man is indeed the Reincarnation Seal?!

He had read in ancient texts that on Wandering Dragon Star, a supreme Great Power of this Star Universe, named Time, controlled the art of time.

In an attempt to witness reincarnation, he spent half his life, ultimately falling short, dying in ambush during an Ancient Times battle.

Could everything happening now be a phantom of the Ancient Times?

The Cold Flood Dragon watched the scene before him, not as deep in thought as Yang Yan.

At this moment, its heart surged with excitement, the blood of battle burning within its bones, and its demeanor transformed accordingly.

As if influenced by them, although these existences before them were overwhelmingly beyond their capacity, they were filled with infinite aspiration.
