Battle Through the Heavens: The Alchemist Starting from the Ye Family

Page 299

At the same time that rift in the starry sky appeared, on the Tianluo Continent, the leaders of some of the top forces and the super strong people who had stepped into the Earthly Sovereign Realm all raised their heads, and their shocked gazes pierced through space to look at the far east of the Tianluo Continent.

"This aura... is it the ancient celestial palace?! It's actually about to appear in the world?!"

At this moment, even the leaders of those self-proclaimed super powers could no longer maintain their composure, and they all stood up with expressions of surprise and delight.

Of course, as this ancient aura rapidly spread, powerful beings throughout the entire Great Thousand Worlds began to perceive this information...

The southernmost part of the vast world.

This is a fiery continent, its surface a crimson red, even the clouds in the sky resemble crimson flames.

Although this continent's area can only rank in the middle among the vast worlds, the presence of an ancient race here makes it one of the most important continents.

And this race is none other than the Fire Spirit Clan!

This continent is also known as the Fire Spirit Continent!

In the heart of the Fire Spirit Continent, inside a magnificent hall, several elders of the Fire Spirit Clan were discussing something...

"Have we not yet found the person who killed Zhu Rong on the Qian Tian Continent?" A burly old man with long, fiery red hair and eyebrows that resembled flames asked in a deep voice from the main seat.

The crowd below heard

Yan's expression changed, and then someone cautiously stepped forward and said, "Reporting to the Grand Elder, the two elders sent by the clan previously reported that they have some leads and are currently investigating..."

With a cold snort, the Grand Elder expressed his dissatisfaction, but did not say much. He directly changed the subject, saying, "Now that the Ancient Heavenly Palace has appeared, all the top forces in the Great Thousand World will probably go there to try their luck. Our Fire Spirit Clan cannot fall behind..."

"In that case, Elder Zhu Huo, you will lead the team and select capable and promising members of the family to investigate the secrets of this ancient heavenly palace."

"Yes!"

A powerful Fire Spirit Clan member below, even stronger than Zhu Rong, stepped forward, accepted the order, and left.

The other three of the four great spirit races also took similar actions, and even the four great divine races, including the Luo Shen race in the Western Heaven Realm, received the news and began to head towards the Tianluo Continent.

While the entire world was reeling from the ancient Heavenly Palace, the local forces of the Tianluo Continent naturally held an advantageous position...

Tianluo Continent is a supercontinent in the Great Thousand Worlds, with a vast and boundless territory. According to a rough division, Tianluo Continent is divided into five regions: east, south, west, north, and center.

In addition to the three well-known overlords of the Northern Region—the Purple Cloud Sect, Thunder Sound Mountain, and Golden Eagle Mansion—the Tianluo Continent also has the Great Xia Dynasty of the Eastern Region, the Holy Demon Palace of the Southern Region, the Primordial Sect of the Western Region, the King of Ten Thousand Beasts of the Million Mountains, and the Lord of the Netherworld of the Netherworld Valley, among others.

Of course, we also need to consider the Myriad Transformations Star Palace now...

Moreover, because of what the Fourth Palace Master said back then, Liu Tiandao and the others learned about the relationship between the Star Demon Suppression Tower and the Ancient Heavenly Palace. So when this news came, they immediately thought of this and thus thought of the current owner of the Star Demon Suppression Tower, Ye Zier!

Almost everyone is aware of the immense power that the ancient Heavenly Palace once possessed.

It was a true behemoth; no force on the Tianluo Continent today can match its former status and strength.

If one could obtain some opportunities in such ancient ruins, it would surely allow one to leap over the dragon gate and become dazzling and soar to great heights.

In the northern realm, the entire Myriad Transformations Star Palace was preparing for the upcoming battle for the ruins.

Although everyone knows that the ancient Heavenly Palace was once the sole overlord of the Tianluo Continent, few people know exactly how strong they were.

Of course, among the few people who knew this was the little girl Mandala...

"Just how powerful was the Ancient Heavenly Palace in ancient times?" Zhu Kun asked Mandala with a curious expression.

He was not only curious about the strength of the Ancient Heavenly Palace, but also about why Ye Chen had told him before leaving that he could ask the young girl-like Great Luo Domain Lord about the Ancient Heavenly Palace...

Could it be that this little girl actually has some connection with the ancient Heavenly Palace? That seems rather unlikely...

Mandala glanced at everyone present, pondered for a moment, and then spoke softly: "The Ancient Heavenly Palace is divided into five halls and nine prefectures, and the one in the last Great Hunting War was the fourth hall master of the Ancient Heavenly Palace. In their prime, all five hall masters reached the Great Perfection of Earthly Sovereign, and even touched the edge of Heavenly Sovereign."

"While the Nine Lords are slightly weaker, they are all powerful figures among Earthly Sovereigns. The best among them are invincible even among the upper-level Earthly Sovereigns."

Mandala's words caused everyone present to frown. Of course, they weren't shocked by her strength. Rather, it was because after encountering a Heavenly Sovereign like their Palace Master, Liu Tiandao and the others had broadened their horizons considerably. They felt that this level of strength was somewhat mismatched with the status of the Ancient Heavenly Palace...

Mandala took in everyone's reactions, but inwardly she sneered.

The power of the ancient celestial palace is unimaginable to ordinary people who did not live in that era!

"That's not the most terrifying part, because on this ancient celestial palace, there are three Heavenly Sovereigns. And they are Heavenly Sovereigns who have reached the strongest realm..."

】

"Impossible! Why is it that the legends I've heard say there was only one true peak powerhouse in the entire ancient Heavenly Palace, the Heavenly Emperor who founded the ancient Heavenly Palace? There shouldn't have been any other Heavenly Sovereigns besides him..."

The demon emperor, who rarely spoke, suddenly interrupted.

Although the Demon Sect was not a native force of the Northern Realm, and it was even unknown whether they were native to the Tianluo Continent, this Demon Emperor had a mysterious origin and seemed to have a great understanding of some ancient history.

"Moreover, even for a super continent like Tianluo Continent, which ranks among the top in the Great Thousand Worlds, supporting three Heavenly Sovereigns at the ultimate level would probably exhaust the spiritual energy and resources of the entire continent!"

The Demon Emperor's sudden interruption made everyone realize what was happening, and they all looked at Mandala, wanting to hear her explanation...

Mandala merely glanced at the other party indifferently, then, ignoring the rebuttal, said directly, "I never said those three Heavenly Sovereigns were three people... Actually, what you said isn't wrong. The Ancient Heavenly Palace did indeed only have one peak Heavenly Sovereign powerhouse, the Heavenly Emperor. As for the other two, they were also incarnations of the Heavenly Emperor..."

"Is it also an incarnation of the Heavenly Emperor?" Liu Tiandao and the others were dumbfounded, clearly unable to understand what he meant.

The demon emperor's expression changed, and then he exclaimed in horror, "Could it be One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones?!"

Now it was Mandala's turn to be surprised. Looking at the shocked Demon Emperor, she asked in astonishment, "You actually know about One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones?"

The Demon Emperor seemed to have abandoned his previous reservations and nodded directly, saying, "I have heard that in the ancient times, there were thirty-six peerless divine powers in the Great Thousand World, and the One Qi Transformation into the Three Pure Ones is one of them."

It is said that those who cultivate this method can split into three, creating two clones that appear independent yet are one, a truly wondrous phenomenon.

If the Heavenly Emperor truly possessed this divine power, and had cultivated both of his avatars to the strength of a Heavenly Sovereign, then it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the Heavenly Emperor alone was equivalent to three Heavenly Sovereigns.

No one was interested in the Demon Emperor's words; instead, everyone present became more curious about his origins...

The Demon Emperor was prepared for the probing gazes of the crowd before he spoke, so upon seeing their expressions, especially when he noticed Zhu Kun's extremely intimidating dragon eyes looking at him, the Demon Emperor quickly said, "I did not intend to conceal my identity; I was forced into it by others, and had no choice but to do so..."

"My original origin was actually one of the million mountains of the Tianluo Continent..."

Chapter 590 Exploration of the Heavenly Palace

The Hundred Thousand Mountains are a very special place on the Tianluo Continent. Countless powerful spirit beast races live there. In order to distinguish themselves from the spirit beasts and divine beasts in the Beast Realm outside, they call themselves the Demon Race and have established the Demon Kingdom. Their strength is in no way weaker than the three overlords of the Northern Region.

However, that powerful demon kingdom had already fallen apart hundreds of years ago. The original powerful demons either died or disappeared. The current ruler of the Million Mountains is a powerful being known as the King of Ten Thousand Beasts. Since then, the concept of the demon race has gradually disappeared from the Million Mountains...

“No wonder you established a demon sect in the Northern Realm and called yourself the Demon Emperor. I originally thought you were just being arrogant, but I didn’t expect there to be such a cause and effect here…” Liu Tiandao looked at the Demon Emperor in surprise and said.

The Demon Emperor glanced at the guy slightly. Ever since Liu Tiandao broke through to the Upper Earthly Sovereign level with the Palace Master's reward, he has become more and more arrogant.

Especially in front of the four of them, he always intentionally or unintentionally showed off, which made him annoying.

Next, everyone confirmed the number of people needed for this trip, arranged the people who would go ahead to scout the way, and then let everyone go down to prepare.

"The appearance of the ancient celestial palace has surely alarmed the entire world, so our Myriad Transformations Star Palace must send out a sufficiently powerful force..."

Zhu Kun gathered Little Fairy Doctor and several other girls, along with important members such as Zi'er and Ye Zhong, and said solemnly.

"So this time I plan to have Zi'er lead the team, while I stay in the Northern Border. However, Zi'er is still too young, so you mothers will need to keep a close eye on her."

Of the four women, Cao Ying was the most skilled in this area, so she immediately assured them, "Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on things and make sure she doesn't suffer any losses."

Zhu Kun nodded in satisfaction.

Half a month later, the Wanhua Star Palace, fully prepared, finally set off, leading its most elite forces. Led by Zi'er and accompanied by Mandala Liu Tiandao and many other Earthly Sovereigns, they marched in a grand procession towards the far west where the ancient Heavenly Palace appeared.

Traveling from the northern border to the far west required traversing almost half of the Tianluo Continent. Such a large and elaborate procession naturally couldn't move too quickly. Using teleportation arrays and flying, it took them more than two months to arrive...

As the sun sets, its rays illuminate the desolate land of rolling mountains. And among those continuous peaks, a solitary, towering peak stands, where the forces of the Myriad Transformations Star Palace are stationed.

At the summit, Zi'er stood on tiptoe, gazing into the distance...

In her vision, behind the towering mountains, lay an endless, desolate grassland. The grassland stretched as far as the eye could see, but the space deep within it was fragmented, with countless spatial fragments flying about, sharp and incomparably sharp. Anyone below the Earthly Sovereign level would likely be instantly cleaved in two if they came into contact with them.

However, within the spatial rift, the crowd could vaguely see some ancient palaces flashing by, exuding a primordial aura that was mysterious and unpredictable.

“I just looked around, and now, taking this wasteland as a line, all the top forces have gathered around it, but no one dares to venture in.” Mandala stared at the wildly violent space and said to everyone present.

"Why?" Cao Ying frowned and asked directly.

Although the four women have only just entered the Ninth Grade Supreme Realm, everyone present knows that they are the wives of the Palace Master, and their status is even higher than that of the young Palace Master who is looking around. Therefore, no one dares to underestimate Cao Ying's question.

"The space there is already on the verge of collapse due to the ancient celestial palace, so once a supreme being of the Earth level steps into it, it will reach its limit and the space will explode..."

The destructive impact was so great that even a high-ranking Earthly Sovereign would find it difficult to withstand. Even worse, if they were trapped in the shattered space and lost their way, they might be exiled to the void...

Those who are lucky might stumble upon a lower plane and be reborn there; the unlucky ones will simply perish.

Mandala's small face was full of solemnity as she spoke.

Upon hearing this, Liu Tiandao, Wansheng Elder, and others standing nearby couldn't help but twitch their lips.

If that's the case, then wouldn't they not even have the chance to go in and explore? What was the point of all their previous enthusiasm then!

Mandala glanced at the group of people deep in thought, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "However... there is a place within this ancient heavenly palace that can accommodate us Earthly Sovereigns without causing a spatial explosion..."

"Where?"

Everyone's eyes lit up, and they quickly pressed for more information.

Mandala took a deep breath and replied, "The Heavenly Emperor's Mausoleum."

"The Heavenly Emperor's Mausoleum? Could it be the place where the Heavenly Emperor fell?" Cao Ying frowned.

Mandala nodded: "The Heavenly Emperor's Mausoleum was built by the Heavenly Emperor himself. It is like a world of its own, and if the Heavenly Emperor were to perish, he would surely be there."

"How come you seem so familiar with the ancient celestial palace, Mandala?" Cao Ying asked pointedly.

This was also the question on everyone's mind...

"That's because I originally came from this ancient celestial palace..."

These words were like a thunderbolt from the blue.

No one present expected that this little girl, who looked like she hadn't grown up, would have such a background. No wonder she was able to establish such a huge power as the Great Luo Heaven Domain in the chaotic Northern Realm.

"Ha, that's great! Doesn't that mean we have a natural advantage in terms of terrain?" Cao Ying said, changing the subject as Mandala seemed unwilling to elaborate.

Liu Tiandao and the others nodded repeatedly. Originally, everyone knew nothing about the ancient heavenly palace, so they were all on the same level.

But now that they have Mandala, a "local," to guide them, they can gain the upper hand.

"It's not that simple!" Mandala's expression was far from optimistic, and she said directly. "I'm not the only one who knows these things. The Holy Demon Emperor of the Southern Domain's Holy Demon Palace also comes from the ancient Heavenly Palace, so his understanding of the Heavenly Palace is no less than mine!"

"Holy Demon Palace..."

The name immediately silenced everyone.

It should be noted that although the Tianluo Continent is divided into five major regions—east, south, west, north, and central—except for the relatively chaotic northern region, the remaining southern, eastern, and western regions are all ruled by a single overlord.

And this Holy Demon Palace is none other than the overlord of the Southern Region!

"The best course of action now is probably for powerful figures from all sides to temporarily open a passage and send as many people as this space can hold into it..."

At this point, Mandala's gaze swept over the four women present, including Cao Ying. Only they, who had not yet reached the Earthly Sovereign level, were considered to meet the requirements.

"If these people are able to enter the Heavenly Emperor's Mausoleum at that time, then put the prepared empty..."

"Crush the jade talisman, and we'll use it as a base to tear through space and enter the Heavenly Emperor's Mausoleum."

That's a really good method...

Everyone couldn't help but nod in agreement with Mandala's suggestion.

Seeing this, Mandala breathed a sigh of relief, then turned her gaze to Zi'er and solemnly said, "If the plan can truly succeed, then, Young Palace Master, I hope you can help me obtain one thing..."

Zi'er looked over in surprise: "What do you want?"

"I will tell the young master when the time comes. Don't worry, it's not some sacred object or peerless divine power or anything of value; it was originally mine..."

The mandala does not explicitly state this.

However, Zi'er didn't care about these things. In particular, she had a natural fondness for Mandala, who was a little girl, and wanted to agree to her requests immediately.

However, remembering her grandfather's words when she left, she forced herself to hold back and looked at her Aunt Cao...

Cao Ying had already been thinking the moment Mandala spoke, and when she saw Zi'er's gaze, she nodded slightly in acknowledgment.

Upon seeing this, Zi'er immediately smiled happily and said to Mandala, "No problem, if we can find what you're talking about, I'll help you snatch it!"

Seeing Zi'er, who had come close to her looking flustered, even Mandala couldn't help but smile.

Compared to Ye Chen, Mandala clearly had a better impression of Zi'er, who looked and was about the same age as her when they first met.

Moreover, this girl has such a forthright and kind personality, takes great care of her own people, and always tries her best to act like an older sister. Such a pure and innocent girl is obviously more likely to gain Mandala's approval.

When can we make our move?

Mandala raised her head, gazing into the distance at the shattered space, then smiled slightly and said, "Five days from now, the space here will become more stable. At that time, it will be time to send people into the ancient heavenly palace."
