“All of it! All of it! His Majesty was deceived!”
Extreme grief and hatred appeared in the giant’s eyes. Just when he was about to exin everything, bzzz! His body shuddered, and the armored giant suddenly paled.
“There’s no time! It’s toote!”
He quickly turned his eyes to the holder of the Xuanyuan Sword, Wang Chong.
“You have His Majesty’s sacred sword. If you were able to get in here, you must be the person His Majesty spoke of. I will open the path for you.”
A look of immense regret and sorrow appeared on the giant’s face.
Wang Chong wanted to ask a few more questions, but it was toote!
Bang!
The armored giant raised his hand, pointing his arm up to the heavens. A momentter, the immense energy within his body together with the surging tides of energy in this dimension gathered together onto a point high up in the thunderclouds.
An enormous rumbling shook the world, and the sky seemed on the verge of tearing apart.
As Wang Chong and Li Xuantu looked on, the thunderclouds in the sky were made to withdraw through some invisible power.
As if some spatial passage had been opened, an enormous pce appeared in the sky, as bright as the sun.
Anyone who looked up at this pce would find it hallowed, sacred, and noble beyondpare. This pce seemed like the center of the universe, the overlord that reigned over all living beings from its throne that could not be reached.
‘Celestial Emperor Pce’!
At the very front of this pceplex, atop the lofty gates, Wang Chong saw threerge words written in ancient script. Each word was several dozen feet tall and radiated the power of the Great Dao and thews of the world.
Though he had mentally prepared himself, Wang Chong still felt stunned by the sight of this enormous floating pce.
The Celestial Pce’s core should be in there, Wang Chong said to himself.
If he had not known the truth that all of this was a trap, a scheme concocted by Heaven, Wang Chong would have definitely taken this ce to be dwelling of the Celestial Emperor. Perhaps he would have believed that by ascending to the Celestial Emperor Pce, he could be the hegemon of the world and possess supreme authority.
s...
Wang Chong stopped this train of thought there.
“Go. His Majesty is waiting for you.”
The armored giant’s power was fading very quickly.
The armored giant turned to Wang Chong as he spoke his final words. “Prophesied one, I will leave Little Nightmare in your care. I hope that you are the right one. Do not disappoint me and all the others.”
Bang!
After saying these final words, the armored giant gathered thest of his energy into a ck thundercloud that closed around Wang Chong, Li Xuantu, and Little Nightmare.
“Go!”
Ancient symbols appeared at the four corners of the cloud, and then a powerful energy came from overhead, pulling Wang Chong’s group up to the Celestial Emperor Pce.
At the final moment, Wang Chong nced down and saw that the enormous figure of the armored giant had dropped his head and was lying motionless, as if he hadpleted his mission.
The energy in his bodypletely scattered, and that enormous body slowly sank into the endless ocean.
“Haaah...”
Wang Chong watched as the armored giant slowly disappeared, mentally sighing.
Though the armored giant had a massive body, Wang Chong had been able to use the True World ability to find that the basic form of this giant was actually just a human.
It had been more than one thousand years since the ancient era, and this armored giant was not a mental lifeform like Little Nightmare, nor did he have an immortal soul like Heaven or secret arts of countless civilizations that allowed him to constantly change bodies and extend his lifespan.
He should have vanished long ago, and he had only been able to survive because he had used some special art to bring together the energy of countless people.
This umted energy in his body existed to fulfill a mission, and once this mission was over, the energy had faded away, ending his life.
Wang Chong turned his head to Little Nightmare.
Little Nightmare didn’t lower its head, nor did it look at the armored giant. But it was clear that it had understood what the giant’s fate would be.
Wang Chong could feel deep sorrow from Little Nightmare, but it had suppressed it all and made sure that it didn’t get out.
Wang Chong mentally sighed. Little Nightmare must have shared a very deep rtionship with that armored giant, and Wang Chong didn’t know what to say tofort it.
He could already predict that an even crueler matter might be waiting ahead.
Boom!
They moved very quickly, and in just a few seconds, they were above the thunderclouds.
With a massive boom, space trembled, and the Celestial Emperor Pce appeared before them.
At first nce, Wang Chong could tell that a massive golden barrier covered the Celestial Emperor Pce.
Wang Chong had encountered all sorts of barriers in the Celestial Pce, but this barrier seemed very different from all the others.
“What powerful energy!” Li Xuantu said, also sensing how peculiar this barrier was.
Even though they had seen it from far below, only close up could they sense the immense energy contained in the barrier.
This golden barrier sealed all the energy within it so that it appeared calm on the surface. But a terrifying storm raged beneath.
Moreover, this barrier contained extremely powerful spacetime energy, far above the level of Wang Chong and Li Xuantu.
There was no doubt that the person who had made this barrier was far stronger than Wang Chong and Li Xuantu.
“This isn’t the original barrier.”
Li Xuantu mentallymunicated to Wang Chong.
“Mm, someone changed the barrier.”
Wang Chong nodded.
Wang Chong and Li Xuantu had fought with Heaven before, but they could not sense any of Heaven’s energy in this barrier. Someone who could break the original barrier in the center of the Celestial Pce and set up their own had to be absurdly powerful.
“I suddenly somewhat understand!” Li Xuantu said, a look of enlightenment on his face.
“While the Celestial Pce was built by Heaven, long ago, the Celestial Pce fell out of his control, at least half of it. This is why he didn’t use this ritual tool while we were in Luo Supreme’s dimension.
“After Heaven’s ritual tool was upied by someone else, those people intruded into the Celestial Pce: the Qin First Emperor, Huo Qubing, Ge Zhu... These people shouldn’t have been able to get in. Heaven wanted to borrow their power to resolve the problem in the Celestial Pce.”
Wang Chong slightly nodded and said no more.
Li Xuantu’s judgment was not wrong, but it wasn’tpletely correct, at least when it came to the Qin First Emperor and Huo Qubing. However, the matter of the Stone of Destiny was too important for Wang Chong to tell Li Xuantu.
Buzz!
Suddenly, the Stone of Destiny’s voice rang out in Wang Chong’s mind.
“Special Event! Energy signal of a Destiny Experimental Body detected! An additional reward will be granted to user based on what is collected!”
The voice made Wang Chong’s heart thump in surprise, but he quickly calmed down.
Even before he had gotten very deep into this ce, Wang Chong had reached this conclusion through numerous clues. He could guess who the person inside the Celestial Emperor Pce was.
Wang Chong once more nced at Little Nightmare, and he saw sorrow on its face. It was clear that it had sensed something in the barrier.
“Stone of Destiny, in the name of the Archon of Destiny, answer me. Does this Destiny Experimental Body in the Celestial Emperor Pce have any signs of life?” Wang Chong said after a few moments of silence.
After another moment of silence, the Stone of Destiny spoke.
“Region scanned. Destiny Experimental Body is already deceased. No signs of life detected!”
The Stone of Destiny’s voice was cold and emotionless.
Even though he had expected this, Wang Chong couldn’t help but sigh at this answer.
He had held onto a tiny hope, but from the sight of this barrier, he could see that there was no changing this result. What had happened had happened, and after more than one thousand years, not even Wang Chong could do very much.
A thought urred to him, and Wang Chong asked another question.
“Which Destiny Experimental Body is in the target region?”
After a few moments of silence, the Stone of Destiny spoke once more.
“Number 2!”
Wang Chong was taken aback by this answer.
Number 2?
Not Number 1?
Wang Chong’s mind fell into momentary disarray. He had believed that this man was the earliest transmigrator, but it turned out that he wasn’t.
But Wang Chong quickly got ahold of himself.
The Celestial Emperor Pce was right before him, and no matter how many secrets there were, they would soon be revealed.
“Let’s go in!”
Wang Chong exchanged a nce with Li Xuantu, then each of them ced a hand on the enormous golden barrier.
A storm of destructive energy was contained within the domain, but this posed little obstacle to the group. The three of them sensed an energy in their bodies that was simr to the energy in the domain. There was no doubt that the armored giant, Li Mu, had ced this energy in their bodies.
A momentter, Wang Chong, Li Xuantu, and Little Nightmare passed through the barrier into the Celestial Emperor Pce as if they were sinking into water.
The area in front of them became awash with golden light. Inside this ce, they once more saw a familiar environment.
The Celestial Emperor Pce was a part of the Celestial Pce, and all of the buildings shared amon origin with the buildings before. But for some reason, there was an atmosphere of sorrow and grief.
“That’s...”
Looking around, they quickly spotted several figures standing in the square in front of them.
