There were many monsters within the fire restriction. He killed countless numbers of them. While it would’ve been possible to break out sooner if he had used all his power, the Ancient Emperor was a very patient man. He would rather waste time fighting than take a risk.
The amount of patience he has is what greatly differs him from Hunchback Meng.
The Ancient Emperor was well prepared for breaking past the barrier this time. Even though he ran into a fire restriction, his natural weakness, he remained strong and made it out step by step,
Although this took him a lot of time, his treasures were not used up, so when he tries to break past future barriers, they would be very beneficial to him.
However on the road ahead, nothing could stop him. While there were many illusion restrictions, none of them were able to affect him.
After entering the second realm, the Ancient Emperor let out a deep sigh. His eyes fixed on the mountain top. He revealed a cold smile. For the past 1000 years he’d been preparing for today.
If you wish to enter the third realm, you must learn restriction techniques. This is something he learned by heart. If it wasn’t for his amazing speed all those years ago, that allowed him to reach the portal 3 seconds after it was opened, even if he had killed all the people that were there that day, he would have still died.
He wasn’t like Six Desire Lord, Duanmu, or Hunchback Meng. Over 100 years ago he was already an expert of the middle Hua Zhen realm and was leader of the last expedition.
Back then, the likes of Six Desire Lord were merely juniors in his eyes. If it wasn’t for his grave injury after escaping, how could those three still be alive today.
For the past 1000 years he had been recovering at the Sea of Devils and started developing his restriction technique so that he could attempt to enter the realm again. In those 1000 years he was able to recover all his cultivation, but he was unable to advance. After careful analysis he believed that the injuries from all those years ago had damaged his foundation. Unless he used some heavenly treasure, his cultivation would be forever stuck.
As a result, he became even more excited at the thought of re-entering the Land of the Ancient Gods. Only here would he find the treasure that could not only let him recover, but also help him advance to form a Ying Bian Dan, allowing him to become an Ying Bian expert. This would make all the hardships he suffered more than worth it.
To this end he gave up cultivating and focused only on restriction technique research. He even went to many sects that were famous for their restriction techniques to study.
After 1000 years of study, he felt very confident in his ability. He even brought few amazing surprises with him. He touched his storage bag and widened his smile.
Without saying a word, he arrived at the first restriction at the foot of the mountain.
This was the first restriction he broke by force all those years ago. After glancing at it once, he stepped forward. He saw there was no reason to waste time solving this restriction, It was much better to just smash it by force.
After all, this was exactly how he had passed it all those years ago.
He recalled that the moment he had entered, the weeds turned into blades. Things turned out as he expected. The weeds around him flew up, as he expected, and it flew through the red mist that suddenly appeared. It then came back around and became a rain of swords.
The Ancient Emperor acted like nothing happened and pressed forward. As the swords approached his body, they become covered in ice and instantly exploded.
