C139 Old Kingdom
That voice sounded from within the palace. It was vast and majestic, as if it was the master of all living things. Roaring pressure was something even Xiao Chen could not withstand. The three of them retreated continuously, their eyes filled with fear. This palace had been in silence for at least a thousand years; there was actually an expert protecting it?!
When they thought about it, the three drew in a cold breath.
How terrifying must the experts of the ancient country be then?
"May I ask who Senior is?" Xiao Chen slowly spoke. His eyes were grave and his voice was respectful.
However, the voice from within the palace remained arrogant. "Scram!"
This sentence caused Xiao Chen's expression to turn ugly. If he had some respect for that voice earlier, then this person was not even worth respecting. So what if he was an expert? If he was in the same era as Xiao Chen, then there was no guarantee that someone would call someone 'Senior'.
Xiao Chen had absolute confidence in himself.
No matter how strong the Ancient Kingdom was, it was still the Ancient Country of the Profound Sky Continent.
Based on this alone, Xiao Chen had absolute confidence in giving him time. He was able to dominate the Profound Sky Continent, and even transcend the realm of cultivation.
"Senior, what is the meaning of this?" Xiao Chen narrowed his eyes slightly. There was a faint sense of interrogation in his voice.
Xiao Chen felt that he did not have any intention of harming this palace, but he was humiliated by the protector of this palace. How could Xiao Chen endure this? For a time, Xiao Chen's heart was filled with determination. Since you do not want me to enter, then I must go in and show you. Not only must I enter, I must advance openly.
"Literally, this is not a place you can enter. Scram!"
Suddenly, Xiao Chen's body emitted a strong mysterious light. It shook the world and had boundless might!
"Apologize, or I'll destroy your crappy palace." Xiao Chen said coldly. His voice was filled with chilliness, as though it was bone-chilling ice. It gave people a feeling of fear. However, that voice was filled with anger. A strong pressure was coming at Xiao Chen, trying to suppress him.
"Impudent! How dare an ant be so arrogant!"
Right after he said that, an incredibly strong profound light enveloped Xiao Chen. Its strong might was almost enough to destroy Xiao Chen. This caused the faces of Chu Yuan and Chu Yanran, who were at the side, to change drastically. This was because they could sense that this powerful profound light far surpassed the army of Dao and Profound Realm experts from before.
Immediately, he rushed over.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
The powerful force sent both of them flying, and they immediately spat out blood.
Under the suppressive profound light, Xiao Chen's entire body released flames. The flames instantly broke through the suppressive light and soared into the sky, the strong flames even burning away the suppressive divine light. The temperature of the entire palace rose abruptly, Xiao Chen was bathed in flames, like a god of the sky, standing proudly as he looked at the palace.
That one glance seemed to be able to see through the cycle of reincarnation. That one glance seemed to be able to determine the truth of the world.
"You are not worthy of suppressing me!"
The phoenix appeared behind him. The phoenix was three hundred feet tall, the sea of flames burned the sky, and the pressure of the Ancient Divine Beast poured down from the sky and landed on the palace. Suddenly, the palace shook as if it could not withstand the phoenix's pressure and was about to collapse.
"Why do you have the bloodline of a Divine Beast? Just who are you! "
The voice was no longer as arrogant as before, and there was even a hint of fear in it.
Xiao Chen smiled coldly, "You are not worthy to know." "Apologize, otherwise, I will destroy this broken palace, you know, I have the ability."
The voice was silent for a long time before it finally spoke.
"It is this old man who suddenly charged at little friend. Little friend, please show mercy and leave behind a trace of the ancient country's inheritance …"
There was a hint of pleading in his voice, causing the flames behind Xiao Chen to slowly disappear. He looked at the ancient palace and slowly said, "Senior, can you appear for a moment?"
That voice was silent, and the entire arena seemed to have a hint of sadness in them, causing the three of them to feel a sense of desolation from the bottom of their hearts.
"I am indeed unable to do this because my physical body was destroyed over a thousand years ago. My soul was entrusted to the entire palace and protected the ancient country." The voice spoke slowly, but there was no sadness in it. Instead, there was a faint trace of pride.1
On the other hand, Xiao Chen, Chu Yuan, and the two others were deeply shocked. They were willing to give up their flesh and blood just to protect the Ancient Kingdom … What kind of courage and loyalty was this?
"Sorry." Xiao Chen said apologetically.
On the other hand, the voice smiled and said, "I don't know whether it's strange or not, and there's nothing to be sorry about. This old man is already dead, so if I wasn't worried, I would have left already."
The old man's casual voice slowly drifted out.
"Senior, it's useless to care too much about the past, and it's even more useless to be obsessed with the past. I wonder what kind of things in the ancient country are worthy of Senior's attention?!" Xiao Chen said.
"That's right, Senior. As the saying goes, the dead rest in peace, and you would rather give up your physical body to protect the ancient country for a thousand years. Even if it's him meeting your master, it's enough." Chu Yuan said.
Only Chu Yanran, who was at the side, looked at the ancient palace, her eyes filled with hope. She asked weakly: "Senior grandfather, can Yanran go in and take a look?
As he spoke, his face was full of desire.
I'm sorry.
"You are here for the inheritance of my ancient country?!" the voice said.
Xiao Chen said, "To be honest, Senior, we did not come here for the inheritance of the ancient country. We were chased by a group of Dao and Profound Realm riders and had no choice but to jump into the lake; we do not know the secret at the bottom of the lake." When he said this, Xiao Chen's face revealed a smile; there was a flicker of light in his eyes.
"Moreover, Senior, you protected the ancient country's legacy for a thousand years just to find a fated person who can inherit your ancient country's legacy, otherwise, you would have been able to protect it forever. Therefore, since we were able to come here and prove that we are fated for this ancient country, why didn't you let us try and instead shut us out?"
Xiao Chen's words caused both Chu Yuan and Chu Yuan's eyes to light up.
That voice also sighed.
"Did you see that?"
Xiao Chen nodded. His gaze was indifferent.
"Senior might be powerful and invincible, but you have still experienced thousands of years of training, and you don't even have a physical body. That's why your soul force is almost exhausted. "Although it won't disappear now, it will definitely come to an end within three years. Without the protection of senior, I'm afraid the ancient country will be in grave danger …"
Xiao Chen had a deep look in his eyes, as though he had seen through everything. He had a faint smile on his lips, "Therefore, I believe Senior already has an answer in mind. If our destiny belongs to the legacy of the ancient country, then that is an opportunity for us, as well as for your ancient country.
The voice laughed.
"I really don't seem to have any other choice. I can only gamble!"
As soon as his voice fell, the door of the palace opened with a loud bang, and an ancient majestic aura gushed out, as if raging waves crashing against the shore, surging violently.
The three of them were shocked. As expected of the ancient country, it was indeed powerful!
"Come in …"
