After the events at the ancient Chiyao grounds, as time passed.

The various feats that Jun Xiaoyao accomplished on the Burial Emperor Star had thoroughly spread.

In the Ancient Chaos Tower, he reached the one thousandth floor, breaking the record and obtaining the Ancient Chaos Emperor's legacy.

He defeated the Qin family's divine son Qin Wudao in just three moves.

Later, he went to rescue the Jun family's hidden branch prodigies, single-handedly battling three top-tier forbidden prodigies, killing two and severely injuring one.

Afterward, at the Yaopool ancient grounds, he swept through Zhuxian Bandit, Divine Silkworm Princess, Yao Yuekong and other prodigies by himself.

Those who could flee did so, those who couldn't perished. Even the Divine Silkworm Princess was forced back to her original form, branded with a slave mark, becoming something akin to a pet.

It could be said that Jun Xiaoyao's deeds completely shook the entire Burial Emperor Star. Countless prodigies were dumbfounded and incredulous upon hearing this news.

None of Jun Xiaoyao's opponents were weaklings; each was a renowned existence on the ancient path.

Yet these formidable top-tier prodigies who inspired awe in others were like clay chickens and pottery dogs before Jun Xiaoyao.

Even when they joined forces, they were still utterly defeated by Jun Xiaoyao—some died, some fled.

It could be said that Jun Xiaoyao's reputation was now unshakable.

Some of Jun Xiaoyao's fanatical admirers even believed that in this game between Jun Xiaoyao and the Heavenly Dao, Jun Xiaoyao might actually win.

They believed that even if all seven Anti-Jun Emperors joined forces, they probably wouldn't be a match for Jun Xiaoyao.

Now Jun Xiaoyao was undoubtedly the strongest prodigy on the Ultimate Ancient Path.

He existed as a final boss among the younger generation, a mountain that no one could climb over.

Yet compared to the clamor throughout the Burial Emperor Star, Jun Xiaoyao himself remained extremely low-key.

After some time, he arrived at the location of the Life and Death Gate.

This was an ancient archipelago.

In the center of the islands, a pitch-black, cold gate stood horizontally in the void.

The surroundings were dark and gloomy, as if all light had been absorbed by this gate.

Jun Xiaoyao gazed calmly, examining the Life and Death Gate before him.

For other prodigies, the Life and Death Gate was considered a forbidden zone.

But for Jun Xiaoyao, it wasn't much of a concern.

"Hmm, this Life and Death Gate seems..." Jun Xiaoyao's eyes revealed a trace of suspicion.

His keen spiritual perception detected something unusual.

It seemed somewhat incompatible with the entire Nine Heavens Immortal Domain.

"Interesting." Jun Xiaoyao's lips curled into a faint smile.

Even setting aside Jiang Luori, Jun Xiaoyao had developed some interest in this Life and Death Gate.

Without any hesitation or delay, Jun Xiaoyao stepped forward and directly pushed open the Life and Death Gate.

"That... that person is the Jun family's divine son!"

Around the Life and Death Gate, there were a few prodigies who had come to try their luck. When they saw that white-robed figure entering the gate, their pupils contracted.

One of the most dangerous places of opportunity on the Burial Emperor Star, yet Jun Xiaoyao walked in as casually as strolling through a garden, utterly composed.

"Is this the difference between us and the supreme forbidden ones?" These prodigies sighed inwardly.

After hearing so many stories about Jun Xiaoyao, they didn't believe that a mere Life and Death Gate could pose any life-threatening danger to him.

Inside the Life and Death Gate was like another world.

The sky and earth were dim, like eternal night.

Fragments of broken continents floated in the void.

This place resembled a shattered world, as if forgotten by time.

"Indeed, the rules of this realm seem slightly different from the Nine Heavens Immortal Domain," Jun Xiaoyao thought to himself.

He had vaguely sensed this outside the Life and Death Gate, but now that he had entered, the feeling was more distinct.

In some ways, the world of the Life and Death Gate was somewhat similar to Jun Xiaoyao's inner universe—both had their own rules and formed their own worlds.

This aroused Jun Xiaoyao's interest.

"It seems that besides the Nine Heavens Immortal Domain and the foreign realms, there are other worlds."

"What lies on the other side of the realm sea?"

"And what about the life-forbidden zones? The rumored Guixu Realm above the nine heavens is also said to be its own world, similarly not bound by the rules of the immortal domain."

Jun Xiaoyao thought about many things.

This world was vast, with many secrets.

Although Jun Xiaoyao was born with a high starting point, it didn't mean he understood all the truths of the world.

What about those famous emperors—were they dead, or had they gone somewhere?

And including some of the Jun family emperors like the Abandoned Heaven Emperor, where had they gone?

Additionally, where was the "source" mentioned by the Mythical Emperor Mifei?

It definitely wasn't in the Nine Heavens Immortal Domain.

For a moment, thousands of thoughts swirled in Jun Xiaoyao's mind.

True, his current strength was unrivaled among the younger generation.

He was even stronger than some of the older generation experts.

But he still had too many mysteries to solve.

And his father, the White-Robed Divine King Jun Wuhui, was still using the One Qi Transforming into Three Purities technique, with his three bodies suppressing three realms.

These were all matters Jun Xiaoyao would need to resolve in the future.

"Anyway, these mysteries will have their answers in due time. I should focus on finding Luori's whereabouts first." Jun Xiaoyao shook his head slightly, gathering his thoughts.

He continued forward.

After an unknown period, a river suddenly appeared ahead.

This was a strange black and white river, flowing majestically toward the depths of the Life and Death Gate.

What surprised Jun Xiaoyao was that this black and white river didn't flow with water, but with dao principles.

Jun Xiaoyao wanted to get closer to observe.

But suddenly he sensed an incredibly terrifying attractive force pulling him down into the black and white river.

As soon as he entered the black and white river, the terrifying force of dao principles washed over Jun Xiaoyao's body.

Jun Xiaoyao's physical body emitted light, his blood energy filling the heavens, using his sacred body to resist the scouring of the dao principles.

"Such terrifying power. Good thing it's me—if it were any other prodigy, they would probably be instantly crushed to powder," Jun Xiaoyao thought.

Not all prodigies had physical bodies as formidable as Jun Xiaoyao's.

The black and white river flowed continuously, and Jun Xiaoyao saw many dried bones and incomplete corpses within it.

These must have been prodigies who had previously entered the Life and Death Gate, been drawn into the black and white river, and then perished.

This was enough to prove the danger of the Life and Death Gate—not everyone had a chance to escape.

"Luori should be fine, right?" Jun Xiaoyao frowned slightly.

Jiang Luori possessed the Elemental Spirit Dao Body, which had an affinity with dao principles. In theory, she should be able to partially immunize against, or even absorb, the dao principle power of the black and white river.

Then, Jun Xiaoyao began to comprehend the dao principle power within the black and white river.

"This definitely isn't a dao principle belonging to the Nine Heavens Immortal Domain. Is it from a foreign realm, a life-forbidden zone, or some other unknown place?" Jun Xiaoyao pondered.

As he was thinking, suddenly his keen spiritual sense detected a sense of danger.

The black and white river began to boil violently.

A strange beast suddenly erupted, attacking Jun Xiaoyao with murderous intent.

It was a ferocious beast with six scythe-like sharp limbs, its body covered in shells, with six pairs of glowing green compound eyes.

"Hmph..."

Jun Xiaoyao let out a cold snort, pointing with one finger. Lightning flashed in all directions as a giant lightning finger crushed down.

This was the Lightning Emperor Finger.

However, when the Lightning Emperor Finger fell on the six-armed blade-edge beast, it directly dissipated.

"Hmm? Immune to magical power?" Jun Xiaoyao was somewhat surprised.
