When Mu Chen's party stepped into the door, they could sense the intense trembling of space. But fortunately, nothing went wrong. The spatial fluctuation lasted for ten-odd breaths before it calmed down and the vision of Mu Chen's party had swiftly brightened up.
Their feet had finally landed on the ground.
When their feet landed on the ground, the Spiritual Energy in the bodies of Mu Chen's party practically surged out at the same time, protecting their bodies. When there weren't any abnormalities, only then did they dare to direct their gazes forward.
Sweeping their gazes out, Mu Chen's party was briefly stunned.
What appeared in front of them was an extremely grand and ancient hall. This hall was like a towering mountain, and a single hall pillar in the hall was thousands of meters tall, as if it was supporting the sky.
Everyone stood in this ancient hall, but they were as small as ants.
"This is the Earth Sovereign Realm Treasury?" Mu Chen and the rest exchanged a look.
Mandala's golden pupils swept out, before she walked towards the depths of the palace. Her indifferent attitude showed that she wasn't worried about any traps. After all, with her cultivation at the Lesser Earth Sovereign Realm, she wouldn't have any fear as long as it wasn't an expert of the same level as her.
The three Emperors and the various Kings immediately followed up.
A group of people slowly walked into the ancient hall. As they went deeper, they discovered that regardless of whether it was the stone floor beneath their feet, the walls or the stone pillars, they were all covered with ancient runes that gave off an indestructible feeling.
The Mountain Splitting King heavily stomped his foot on the stone floor.
However, that stomp of his that could even cause a mountain to collapse only left a crack on the stone floor.
This scene made Mu Chen and the rest feel shocked in their hearts.
"Mhm?"
While Mu Chen and the rest were observing this ancient palace, Mandala, who was at the front, suddenly stopped her footsteps.
The golden eyes looked forward, and everyone's gazes immediately followed suit.
At the end of the hall, an incomparably gigantic bronze door appeared. However, at this moment, the door was tightly shut. On the surface of the door, there seemed to be traces of viscous blood. Those traces of blood contained extremely frightening Spiritual Energy fluctuations, causing the eyelids of Mu Chen and the rest to twitch.
Mandala's face remained expressionless as she stretched out her slender fingers.
He lightly tapped the air.
Buzz.
Along with the tap of Mandala's finger, the space was like the surface of a lake, rippling. In the next moment, a terrifying Spiritual Energy gathered over and a massive and sharp crystal mountain slowly drilled out from the ripples.
The peak of the crystal mountain was directly aimed at the bronze gate.
It actually revealed an indescribable sharpness.
When Mu Chen and the rest saw this, their eyelids twitched. That's because they could sense that Mandala had directly absorbed the Spiritual Energy between the heavens and earth.
After that, she had forcefully compressed the Spiritual Energy into a substance.
This simple move had displayed the terror of an Earth Sovereign Realm.
After all, with the current strength of Mu Chen and the rest, they could condense the Spiritual Energy between the heavens and earth.
They could even condense the Spiritual Energy between the heavens and earth into various forms of attacks.
However, they couldn't condense their Spiritual Energy into crystals.
In the eyes of Earth Sovereigns, ordinary Divine Artifacts were like weeds to them. That's because they could casually condense their Spiritual Energy into crystals. The might and toughness of those Divine Artifacts could already be comparable to ordinary Divine Artifacts.
Just think about it, when an Earth Sovereign launched an attack, it would be equivalent to countless Divine Artifacts smashing down. How destructive would that power be?
Boom!
While Mu Chen and the rest were shocked, the crystal mountain had already shot out. In the next instant, it had appeared before the bronze gate and slammed against it without any hesitation.
Rumble!
A terrifying shock wave wreaked havoc in the ancient palace, causing the earth to tremble and cracks had started to spread out on the surrounding walls.
Mandala's golden pupils looked at the source of the shock wave. A brief moment later, she narrowed her eyes. That's because she saw that when the Spiritual Energy shock wave dissipated, the bronze gate still stood firmly. Even after suffering such a ferocious attack from her, there weren't any signs of the gate shattering.
The faces of the various Kings behind her had also turned grave. The bronze gate was truly not simple. Even an Earth Sovereign Realm expert couldn't destroy it.
"Looks like we've started to be trapped by this Earth Sovereign Realm Treasury." The Sleeping Emperor slowly said.
"Can we use the Fallen Origin Pellet?" Mu Chen suggested.
Mandala shook her head. "The Fallen Origin Pellet can only dissolve seals of the same origin. The power on the bronze gate isn't the same as before."
"The bloodstains on the bronze gate seem a little weird." Jiu You's gaze suddenly flickered as she spoke out.
When everyone heard her words, they immediately directed their gazes over. Taking a closer look, they realised that the bloodstains on the bronze gate seemed to be slowly wriggling. Furthermore, looking from afar, the bloodstains seemed to have formed into ferocious beastly faces.
There were exactly ten of those beastly faces.
Mandala looked at the ten ferocious beastly faces as she pondered and muttered, "The Ten Ominous Ancient Array?"
As her voice faded, Mandala suddenly raised her head and looked at the top of the ten thickest pillars in the hall. Thereafter, she saw that there was a huge stone statue at the top of each pillar.
"What's that?" The Mountain Splitting King and the rest raised their heads as they exclaimed in astonishment.
Mu Chen narrowed his eyes. He could clearly see that the ten stone statues had the bodies of humans and the faces of beasts. Their bodies were dark-green in colour. Looking from afar, they looked like bronze statues. However, when he carefully sensed them, he could vaguely sense an astonishing ominous aura being emitted from those bronze statues.
"The faces of those bronze statues are the same as the bloodstains on the bronze gate." The Asura King said in a solemn voice.
"Those are the ten ominous beasts of the Ancient Haven Palace." Mandala lowered her eyes as she faintly said.
"The ten ominous beasts?" The various Kings exchanged a look.
"This should be the defensive array laid down by the Fourth Palace Master."
Mandala continued, "The source of the power on the bronze gate should be the ten ominous beasts.
Only by getting rid of them will the bronze gate open. "
"Then, let's get rid of them." Spiritual Pupils Emperor said indifferently. If these ten great ferocious beasts were still alive,
If the ten ominous beasts were still alive, he might still be fearful of them.
But right now, they were already dead, and although they still retained some power through some special means, it would definitely be greatly reduced.
"There are rules here, and it's impossible to be rash."
Mandala shook her head as she flicked her finger and a beam of Spiritual Energy shot towards a bronze statue. But just when the beam of light was about to hit the latter, dense ancient runes suddenly appeared on the stone pillar, forming into a barrier that protected the bronze statue.
At the same time, it had also negated Mandala's attack.
When the Spiritual Pupils Emperor saw this, he couldn't help being stunned as he knitted his brows.
"Since there are rules, then let's follow them."
Mandala, on the other hand, was rather calm. She glanced around with her golden eyes, before looking at the ground in front of her. Everyone looked over, and only then did they discover that there were actually many runes carved in the vast hall.
Mandala flicked her finger once again.
Spiritual energy shot out and shot into the rune engravings.
Rumble!
When the spiritual power shot into the ground, the ground suddenly rumbled and shook. Then, the ground quickly rose up.
Dust spread out and in just ten-odd breaths of time, Mu Chen and the rest were astonished.
A super stone platform, about ten thousand zhang in height, appeared in the middle of this ancient hall.
Around the stone platform, ancient runes soared into the sky.
It transformed into a gigantic curtain of light that enveloped the entire stone platform, protecting it within.
"A battle platform?"
When Mandala saw this, her gaze flickered.
She understood what was going on and looked at the Sleeping Emperor. The latter gently nodded his head, then his silhouette flew out and landed on the stage.
But just when the Sleeping Emperor came in contact with the barrier around the stage, the Spiritual Energy fluctuation violently fluctuated. Thereafter, a light flashed and the Sleeping Emperor was forcefully bounced back.
The Sleeping Emperor landed beside Mandala and knitted his brows. But before he could speak, Mandala had already said, "Your Spiritual Energy is too powerful and this stage is restricted by Spiritual Energy. This Fourth Palace Master is rather interesting. It looks like he doesn't intend to see others breaking the array with brute force."
"Asura King, you go."
Mandala's golden pupils looked at the strongest amongst the various Kings, the Asura King. The latter was a genuine Seventh Grade Sovereign. Although his strength wasn't comparable to the three Emperors, his fighting strength was ranked first amongst the various Kings. So if they were to fight, he would naturally be needed.
"Yes!"
The Asura King respectfully received his orders and stomped his feet. His silhouette burst forth and charged towards the stage. This time, when his body came in contact with the barrier, he wasn't repelled and heavily landed on the stage.
Seeing that the Asura King had successfully entered the battle platform, the crowd heaved a sigh of relief as if a heavy burden had been lifted from their shoulders.
Rumble!
When the Asura King stood proudly on the stage, a commotion suddenly rang out in the ancient palace. Mu Chen and the rest directed their gazes towards the source and abruptly narrowed their eyes.
On the massive pillar, there was a ferocious-looking bronze statue that was slowly falling off. As the bronze fell, a black-armoured and robust silhouette that looked like a black pagoda appeared before the eyes of Mu Chen and the rest.
Roar!
It roared towards the sky. The roar was like thunder that rumbled, causing the entire palace to tremble.
Boom!
It heavily stomped its feet, causing cracks to appear on the pillar as its silhouette whistled down and heavily landed on the stage like a cannonball.
As the dust spread out, it stood like a primordial ominous beast with torrential ominous aura spreading out. Under the ominous aura, even the Asura King had squinted his eyes.
"One of the ten ominous beasts of the Ancient Haven Palace, the Demonic Skyeater Jiao-Dragon." Mandala faintly said.
Outside the stage, Mu Chen and the rest had grave expressions, since they had no idea who the strongest amongst the various Kings of the Great Heaven Domain, the Asura King, would win against one of the ten ominous beasts of the Ancient Haven Palace.
This battle would definitely cause the mountains to crumble and the earth to crack.
