Chapter Twenty-Eight: To Kneel or Not to Kneel?

As soon as Aotian stepped into the light array, he noticed that the surrounding scene had changed drastically.

I saw that all around was gray, without the slightest scene, as if the world had not yet been born and the world was in chaos.

Aotian's gaze swept around, as if trying to find the so-called test.

Suddenly, a human-sized spatial crack appeared out of thin air, and a woman dressed in white and with white hair stepped out of it.

Aotian was suddenly startled, and when he saw the face of the comer, Aotian breathed a sigh of relief lightly, and said respectfully:

"Senior, I don't know where the test you have set is?"

This figure was the mysterious woman who claimed to be a member of the Ice Phoenix Clan before, that is, the gatekeeper in Yankou.

A strange smile curled up at the corner of the mysterious woman's mouth, and instead of answering Aotian's question, she asked:

"Aotian, tell me, why are you devouring the Heavenly Seal?"

Aotian was slightly stunned, and then said:

"Don't hide it from the seniors, the reason why the juniors want to get the Sky Devouring Seal to speed up my cultivation speed is to rescue my mother and repay an unforgettable hatred at the same time!"

The strange smile on the corner of the mysterious woman's mouth became more and more intense, and she only heard her say:

"So Aotian, do you know how much you have to pay if you want to save your mother and repay that hatred?"

Aotian's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said firmly:

"As long as I can fulfill my heart's wish, no matter how much price I pay, no matter how hard I try, I will not hesitate!"

"Oh?" A flash of surprise flashed in the mysterious woman's eyes. And then he said:

"Aotian, how about we make a deal?"

"What deal?" Aotian asked with a frown.

For some reason, Aotian always felt that the mysterious woman standing in front of him at this time was very different from the one he had met before. This feeling is unreasonable, but Aotian really feels it.

"It's a simple deal! As long as you kneel down to me and kowtow three times, you will be able to get out of this formation immediately, and the so-called test can be avoided! You can see the Heaven Devouring Seal as you wish, and I will give you and me the power of my life, so that you can achieve the Emperor Realm and rescue your mother as easily as possible! And I just want you to kneel down to me, what do you think of this deal? There was a hint of temptation in the mysterious woman's tone.

"What?!" Aotian was shocked, and then his brows tightened, and he didn't immediately agree to the mysterious woman's deal, but seemed to be thinking about something.

"Aotian, you don't have to think about it, think about it, as long as you kneel, you can achieve the highest level that countless martial artists have pursued all their lives, rescue your mother, and repay the hatred in your heart, it's so easy, is there a cheaper deal in this world?" The mysterious woman continued.

Aotian slowly exhaled a breath of white air, his eyes shot straight into the eyes of the mysterious woman like sharp arrows, and said firmly:

"I'm sorry, I refuse!"

The mysterious woman's eyes narrowed slightly, her face was a little gloomy, and she said:

"Why do you refuse, because you don't believe that I have this ability?"

"No, it's not!" Aotian shook his head and said.

"What's that?"

"The conditions you give are indeed tempting, but the power you have given me is yours, not mine, so I disdain to use it!"

"That's it?" There was a faint mockery in the mysterious woman's eyes.

"Nope! And that's just second! Aotian shook his head and denied.

"What's the main reason for that?" The mysterious woman continued to ask, seemingly intrigued by this.

"I'm proud of the sky, I don't kneel to the sky, I don't kneel to the ground, what are you, why do you want me to kneel?!" Aotian said coldly.

The murderous intent in the mysterious woman's eyes skyrocketed, and she said gloomily:

"Aotian, you have to understand, now your life is under my control, if you don't kneel down to me, I will take your life immediately, and your heart's wish can only be stillborn!"

Aotian's immature face showed a touch of rebelliousness at this moment, and he said firmly:

"Don't kneel even if you die!"

The mysterious woman stared at Aotian for a long time, and suddenly smiled lightly:

"Kneel or not, I can't help you!"

As she spoke, a momentum that seemed to make the heavens and the earth tremble burst out from the mysterious woman's body, and then went towards the sky like a wave that hit the sky.

"Poof"

Suddenly, a mouthful of red blood spurted out of Aotian's mouth.

In an instant, Aotian felt as if he was carrying a huge mountain on his body, and the heavy pressure directly passed through Aotian's body and reached Aotian's knees, so that Aotian's feet couldn't help but bend down, and there was a tendency to kneel to the ground.

Aotian was suddenly startled, and then sneered at the mysterious woman:

"It's not soft, it's hard, isn't it?"

A cold light flashed in the mysterious woman's eyes, and then she stretched out a slender palm and pressed it fiercely towards Aotian.

Suddenly, Aotian felt the pressure on his body double, and a mouthful of blood was sprayed on the ground mixed with some internal organs.

"I'd like to see if you kneel or not?!" There was a sinister aura in the eyes of the mysterious woman.

Aotian's teeth were clenched, his face was pale, his knees had just bent, but he was erected again, and the rebellious color on his face became more and more intense.

"Click"

At this moment, the sound of bones breaking rang out in the gray space.

I saw that Aotian's whole person was lying on the ground softly, and there were blood stains oozing out of the white robe on his feet, and even his vision was blurred.

"To kneel or not to kneel?!" The mysterious woman said coldly again.

Aotian smiled miserably and said:

"What other means, you can show it, if I frown, I won't be arrogant!"

The mysterious woman raised her eyebrows, and then slapped out with a palm, and suddenly, a terrifying mysterious power surged out of her body, and a handprint the size of a hundred zhang quickly condensed in front of her.

The handprints exuded a terrifying aura, and the surrounding space was even cracked.

"If you don't kneel, then die!"

The mysterious woman shouted, and then the handprint seemed to penetrate the space and bombarded directly on Aotian's body.

Suddenly, blood was filled, and a miserable scream was clearly audible in the gray space......

This is an empty hall, the hall is surrounded by white jade stones, and there are quaint patterns on each jade, revealing a trace of indestructibility.

At this time, in the main hall, three figures stood quietly.

These three people are none other than Ao Yan, Yan, and the mysterious woman of the Ice Phoenix Clan. At this time, the eyes of the three of them were tightly locked on a bronze mirror in the air.

On the edge of the bronze mirror is a trace of ancient and mysterious runes, exuding an aura of primeval desolation. It's just that some of the runes are broken, causing the light on the mirror to dim.

Even so, the scene in the mirror is still clearly visible: it is in that gray space that Aotian is bombarded by a huge handprint.

"Ahh

When Ao Yan saw that Ao Tian was bombarded by the hundred-zhang handprint, she immediately shouted nervously, her eyes were full of anxiety, and there was a trace of mist condensing.

"Senior, Aotian he...... Is he okay? Aoyan asked in a trembling voice.

The mysterious woman stroked Aoyan's head and said with a smile:

"Hehe, he's passed the first level!"

"Huh?" Aoyan looked at the mysterious woman in confusion.

At this time, Yan said:

"Look at the scene in 'Viewing the Heavens'......"

Suddenly, Ao Yan's gaze was tightly locked on the scene in the bronze mirror in the air......
