Chapter 922
The Inheritance of the Undying King
The secondary hall was deathly silent.
Lin Langtian slowly withdrew his fist, the golden token lying quietly in his palm, radiating a soft yet majestic light.
Elder Xue Ming collapsed amidst the ruins, his bones shattered, his breath as faint as a candle flickering in the wind, utterly powerless to fight again.
Countless gazes fell upon the tall, slender figure in the green robe, a mixture of shock, awe, apprehension, and fear, yet no one dared to utter a sound.
Even the veteran high-ranking Earthly Sovereign of the Blood God Sect was beaten like this after using forbidden techniques. Who would dare to step forward and seek death?
"Who else wants this token?" Lin Langtian asked calmly, his gaze sweeping over the surroundings.
Wherever his gaze fell, everyone involuntarily lowered their heads, not daring to meet his eyes.
Those powerful figures who had previously coveted the token now wished they could shrink into the crowd, fearing they might be targeted by this ruthless star.
Even Lan An, who was also a high-ranking Earthly Sovereign, had a slight flicker in his eyes. After hesitating for a moment, he finally gave up competing with Lin Langtian.
His strength is comparable to that of Elder Xue Ming, who suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of Lin Langtian. This means that Lin Langtian's strength far surpasses that of ordinary Upper Earthly Sovereigns, and his chances of winning against him are not high.
"In that case, thank you all for your consideration."
Seeing that no one dared to step forward, Lin Langtian jumped up without hesitation, put away the token, and turned to leave.
The Barbarian Emperor and his group had already come forward, trembling with excitement. Many of the Qiankun Sect's experts shouted in unison, "The Vice Sect Master is mighty!"
Lin Langtian waved his hand: "Let's go to the main hall."
Amidst countless complex gazes, the group left the stone platform and disappeared into the depths of the passage.
Only after the figure in the green robe completely disappeared did a sigh of relief resound in the secondary hall.
"That's terrifying...that guy is a monster..."
"Even Elder Xue Ming was beaten like that, who would dare to provoke him?"
"From now on, the Qiankun Sect is likely to become famous throughout the Boundless Continent..."
Amidst whispers, the powerful figures dispersed, each going their own way.
Elder Xue Ming was helped up by several Blood God Sect disciples and staggered away from the secondary hall.
……
The main hall is located in the very center, surrounded by eight secondary halls.
When Lin Langtian and his group walked out of the passage and their vision suddenly opened up, even those who were mentally prepared were still shocked by the scene before them.
That was a real temple.
A towering golden palace, thousands of feet high, stood before us. Its body was cast from an unknown divine metal, and it still shone brightly after thousands of years.
The palace gate is thousands of feet high, and it is carved with countless ancient totems, including gods who created the world, divine beasts that soar through the nine heavens, and divine generals who conquer all directions... Every carving is lifelike, as if it could come to life at any moment.
Above the palace gate, three ancient seal characters shimmered with golden light.
"The Undying Palace!"
These three words alone exuded a suffocating pressure, the remnant will of the Undying King, and the majesty of the Heavenly Sovereign.
Outside the palace gate, dozens of figures had already gathered.
These people were divided into seven or eight camps, some in groups of three or five, and some standing alone, but without exception, they were all people with powerful auras.
Lower Earthly Sovereigns are everywhere, and there are more than ten half-step Upper Earthly Sovereigns, and even nearly ten auras have reached the level of Upper Earthly Sovereigns!
Lin Langtian glanced around and saw several familiar faces: Jian Wuchen of the Heavenly Sword Sect, Qingxu Daoist of the Myriad Laws Sect, and Bingpo Fairy of the Profound Ice Valley, all of whom were famous throughout the Boundless Continent and the surrounding dozen or so continents.
At the very front of the crowd, a black and white figure stood with his hands behind his back, emanating a faint black and white halo, standing out like a crane among chickens, attracting much attention.
It was that young man from the Maha Ancient Clan, dressed in black and white robes, named Maha Huang.
He seemed to sense something, turned his head, and his gaze met Lin Langtian's in mid-air.
Their gazes met, as if invisible sparks were flying.
“Interesting.” Mohehuang’s lips curled up slightly, revealing a playful smile.
"I didn't expect you to come too. If I remember correctly, that elder from the Blood God Sect entered the same secondary hall as you, right? I didn't expect you to be able to snatch the token from him. You're quite skilled."
Upon hearing Mohe Huang's words, many powerful figures present looked at Lin Langtian with surprise, a hint of astonishment flashing in their eyes.
Elder Xue Ming is a high-level Earthly Sovereign. Lin Langtian, a low-level Earthly Sovereign, was able to seize the token from him. Doesn't that mean his strength is far more than it appears?
While everyone was speculating, Lin Langtian glanced at Mohehuang and said calmly, "Likewise."
A flicker of interest crossed Mohehuang's eyes, but he said nothing more, simply turning his gaze back to the palace gate.
Lin Langtian also withdrew his gaze and, with the Barbarian Emperor and the others, found a quiet place at the edge of the crowd to wait.
"Vice Sect Master, that guy from the Maha Ancient Clan seems very strong," the Barbarian Emperor said in a low voice, his eyes filled with solemnity.
Lin Langtian nodded slightly: "A supreme Earthly Sovereign, and a prodigy of the Maha Ancient Clan, with unfathomable depths. It's best to avoid provoking him if possible."
The Barbarian Emperor scratched his head: "But he seems quite interested in you..."
Lin Langtian did not answer, but simply stared at the palace gate.
He knew perfectly well that someone like Maha Huang would not be interested in a lower-level supreme being for no reason.
Most likely, they noticed that he had cultivated the Great Sun Undying Body, and other than that... they regarded him as a potential rival.
Of course, Lin Langtian was no exception; he also regarded Mohe Huang, who had cultivated the Great Sun Undying Body, as a potential enemy.
Just then, the three golden ancient seal characters above the palace gate suddenly burst forth with dazzling light!
"Rumble..."
With a dull thud, the colossal gate, thousands of feet tall, slowly opened.
Behind the door was a deep, endless passage. At the end of the passage, a vast space could be vaguely seen, and... a colossal figure sitting cross-legged. The Undying King!
Even just from a distance, the oppressive aura emanating from the Heavenly Sovereign caused everyone to hold their breath, and many powerful figures immediately revealed a burning desire in their eyes.
The Undying King, that's the legendary Heavenly Sovereign, and now, his legacy is right before our eyes. Who wouldn't be tempted!
"The door is open!"
"Charge!"
It's unclear who was the first to lose their composure, but they darted into the passage in a flash.
Immediately afterwards, dozens of figures sprang up at the same time, rushing into the palace gate in a rush!
Lin Langtian didn't move. He narrowed his eyes and quietly watched those people rush into the passage.
"what!"
A shrill scream suddenly rang out. The first expert who rushed in had barely stepped into the passage for less than ten feet when he was struck by a golden light that appeared out of nowhere. His entire body was as if he had been cut by a sharp blade, and he was instantly torn to pieces!
Blood splattered, staining the passageway red!
The people behind were horrified and tried to stop, but it was clearly too late.
"Boom boom boom!"
Golden beams of light shot out from the walls on both sides of the passage, like the scythe of death, ruthlessly reaping the lives of the intruders!
Those beams of light were as fast as lightning and incredibly powerful. Even a high-ranking Earthly Sovereign would either die or be seriously injured if struck by them!
Screams echoed throughout the passage, blood stained the corridor, and severed limbs were scattered everywhere!
In just a few breaths, more than a dozen powerful individuals perished on the spot!
The remaining people were terrified and retreated, no longer daring to step in rashly.
"Damn it! There's a restriction on the passage!"
"This is no place for a human to go in!"
Everyone's faces were deathly pale, their eyes filled with fear.
Lin Langtian's gaze sharpened as he carefully observed the patterns in the golden light.
He discovered that the beams of light did not attack indiscriminately, but rather followed a specific trajectory.
If we can figure out the trajectory, we might be able to get through safely.
“It’s an array.” A clear voice rang out; it was Mohehuang.
He stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze deep, and smiled slightly: "The Golden Light Demon-Slaying Array left by the Undying King, if you take one wrong step, you will be annihilated, body and soul."
The crowd's expressions grew even more grim.
Even the pride of the Maha Ancient Clan said so, this passage is probably extremely dangerous.
“However…” Maha Tian changed the subject, a slight smile playing on his lips: “Those who possess the token are immune to attacks from the array.”
He raised his hand and flipped it over, and a golden token quietly appeared in his palm.
The token was exactly the same as the one Lin Langtian had obtained, except that the patterns on it were slightly different.
The gazes of the crowd immediately turned fervent.
A token of love! Another token of love!
It turns out that the token not only allows entry into the main hall, but also protects against attacks from the passage's restrictions!
Those without the token were ashen-faced, their eyes filled with resentment and despair.
Those who held the tokens became the envy of everyone.
Holding the token, Mohehuang stepped into the passage first.
A golden light shone forth, enveloping him and his four followers. The originally deadly golden light fell upon them as if a gentle breeze had touched them, causing no harm whatsoever.
Soon, Mohehuang and his party disappeared at the end of the passage.
Following closely behind, several more powerful individuals, each holding a token, stepped into the passage and passed through safely.
Without further hesitation, Lin Langtian took out the golden token and led the Barbarian Emperor and the others into the passage.
Golden light enveloped them, and as expected, the terrifying restrictive light did not attack them.
After walking for about an incense stick's time, the view suddenly opened up before us.
It was a vast underground space with a dome tens of thousands of feet high, inlaid with countless fist-sized luminous pearls, illuminating the entire space as bright as day.
The space was tens of thousands of feet in diameter, and in the center stood a colossal statue that was thousands of feet tall.
That statue is none other than the Immortal King!
He was tall and imposing, with a resolute face. He held a giant axe that could split the heavens, and gazed into the distance, as if staring at the endless void.
The statue alone exudes an indescribable aura of dominance and majesty.
Dozens of figures had already gathered around the statue.
These people were all powerful individuals who had successfully arrived here from the eight secondary halls, each carrying a token.
Mohehuang stood with his hands behind his back at the front of the crowd, his gaze fixed on the statue, his eyes filled with fervor.
Everyone knows that the true legacy of the Undying King, the legendary Immortal Golden Body and the unparalleled divine power of the Immortal Golden Body, is located in this main hall.
A true battle between dragons and tigers is about to begin.
Lin Langtian stood quietly at the edge of the crowd, his gaze also fixed on the statue, a resolute look flashing in his eyes.
He was determined to obtain the immortal golden body and the indestructible golden body.
The barbarian emperor standing beside him gripped the giant hammer he had just acquired, his eyes, like bronze bells, filled with fighting spirit.
Inside the main hall, the atmosphere grew increasingly tense; a great battle was about to erupt… (End of Chapter)
