Chapter 307: Chapter 272: Stone Gate’s Disturbance, All Kings Gather!_2

King Hao!

At the edge of the Heavenly Altar, many of the younger generation revered him with awe. King Hao was a young ruler whose fame had long been established—not in all the Heavenly and Myriads of Realms, but within the Ten Great Domains where he hailed from, he had emerged victorious from a genuine, bloody battle, overpowering all foes and leaving the blood and bones of his fellow contenders beneath his feet, thereby earning his kingship.

For one general’s success, thousands of bones dry up; for one king’s achievement, the bones of his peers!

Such was the best description of King Hao’s might, which was almost indescribable. Gazing across the vast Heavenly and Myriads of Realms, he was celebrated as a King Star, dazzling and commanding attention, in the battles to become Human Emperor.

"I have seen several of my elders."

King Hao spoke, greeting from afar the distinguished figures within their chariots, yet without a bow, a signal of his precious status, for among the younger generation, only such kings held the entitlement for such a gesture.

"Please rise, young friend," the esteemed figures telepathically sent, their tones kind and forgiving, without a hint of reprimand.

Of course, this was only in relation to King Hao. As for the others, it was just strict; their presence alone made hearts tremble with respect.

King Hao stepped forward boldly; with a single stride, he crossed Changkong and arrived in front of the ancient gate. His face was expressionless, giving off an unfathomable air, leaving no one able to discern his true feelings, but it was adequately awe-inspiring.

Undoubtedly, he was a formidable ruler!

"What does King Hao want to do? Is he planning to push the stone gate? But the stone gate is ancient and extraordinary. There have been Ancient Great Powers from old Holy Lands, Great Sect Leaders, and even legendary Saints who have come to try, and they have never managed to push it open. Although he is strong, he is not more robust than those figures."

Many found this peculiar. Since the existence of the stone gate, generation after generation had tried to push it, wishing to uncover the possible secret treasures within.

Alas, even the top figures of the Saint Realm had failed, as had the current legendary Saints of the Great Sects and the Immortal Sacred Lands. There were even rumors that invincible Heavenly Kings, transcending the Saint Realm, had tried as well, but supposedly, none had managed to move it an inch.

Whether a Great Power could push it open remained to be seen, as nobody had actually witnessed it.

However, King Hao did not act as everyone had expected him to, trying to push the stone gate. Instead, he stood quietly in front of it, not making a move to push or speaking, only his eyes shimmering with a calm Divine Radiance, as if he were continuously gauging the stone gate.

Boom—

In the Heavenly Dome, a thunderclap sounded throughout Ninth Layer Heaven as a tall, imposing figure appeared, descending a zhang in height onto Heavenly King Mountain like a meteor crashing to earth, making the entire Heavenly King Mountain quiver, and many struggled to keep their footing. But upon seeing the figure at the Heavenly Altar, they were agitated.

It was the colossal figure of someone very tall and burly, his bronze skin and an arm thicker than most men’s legs, resembling the appearance of a Demon King exuding an intense and formidable aura.

He strode across the void with each step shaking heaven and earth, stirring up dust clouds, causing the younger generation to be terrified, unable to help but tremble and bow in submission.

"Flame Dragon King Pang Xia has arrived as well."

Many were startled out of their wits. This individual was a genuine young ruler of the Demon Race, rumored to be a descendant of the Ancient Supreme Holy Spirit Candle Dragon—who was on par with the Great Powers. With a relatively pure Candle Dragon Bloodline flowing in his veins, he was incredibly formidable, his Bloodline Power called world-shaking. In the Heavenly and Myriads of Realms, he was a celebrated ruler.

Unexpectedly, following King Hao’s arrival, the Flame Dragon King had come too.

Upon his descent, the Flame Dragon King immediately set his gaze upon King Hao, and King Hao returned his stare.

Both rulers locked eyes, their fierce gaze almost materializing in a tangible collision that crackled in the air, nearly shattering the void itself, which was quite terrifying.

The crowd felt both reverence and anticipation. Both were renowned rulers, with strength unparalleled, the true paragons among the younger generation. Without a life and death battle, it was uncertain who would come out victorious, so many eagerly awaited their immense battle of kings.

""""

Because on normal days, kings rarely met each other, let alone engaged in grand battles. However, the time had not yet come, as they had only just entered the Human Emperor contest and had not truly grown powerful, unable to unleash a real life and death struggle.

Both mighty kings emitted their oppressive kingly auras, clashing in the Void Sky, exploding, but without truly engaging in battle, leaving many feeling tremendously regretful.

However, at this moment, all of that was inconsequential, as the sudden mysterious Qi Mechanism flowing from the Heavenly Altar’s ancient gate had garnered significant concern.

According to ancient lore, this was an ancient gate left by an Ancient Great Power, suspected of containing immensely fortuitous opportunities, but it had lain dormant in the Void Sky Domain for an unknown number of years, never opened by any. Even a Supreme Heavenly King beyond the Saints had once arrived but, regretfully, failed to make progress.

Now, the sudden mysterious Qi Mechanism flowing had hooked the attention of many.

Young rulers were, of course, no exception, with rumors even suggesting that this was a trial left by the Ancient Great Power for the younger generation, and that passing it would grant one the Ancient Great Power’s immortal inheritance.

Moreover, in the distant emptiness, several vague and mysterious figures materialized, their shadows blurry, indiscernible, impenetrable, yet all radiating terrifying Daoist auras, kingly dominion surging forth, revealing a succession of King-level unparalleled individuals.

Clearly, no one could remain indifferent to the Mysterious Stone Gate, as it might involve the inheritance and fortune of an Ancient Great Power.

More and more powerhouses gathered, crowding Heavenly King Mountain, with over half belonging to the younger generation. Only a few daring young kings dared to stand at the forefront.

The gate’s Qi Mechanism flowed but had not yet truly opened. However, no one was in a hurry, all waiting patiently for the moment when the stone gate would finally swing open.

"Look, the stone gate is moving, it’s beginning to truly open..."

No one quite knew who spoke, but in an instant, everyone’s attention shifted.

Indeed, the ancient gate quivered and began to slowly swing open, emitting an ancient Qi Mechanism, with Immortal Light spreading out, astonishingly enveloping everything, and drawing everyone’s keen interest.

"That is..."

Finally, everyone looked on to see that behind the ancient gate there seemed to be a vast nothingness. At that moment, almost no one dared to advance, fearful of any lurking danger.

However, King Hao and the Flame Dragon King, with their extraordinary skills and bravery, stood by the towering stone gate, keeping a distance from each other.

Other mysterious young rulers also appeared from afar, still shrouded in blurry auras, undetectable, impenetrable, dreamlike, and fantastical.

They stood apart from each other, then positioned themselves on the threshold, looking down to find a massive Green Stone Heavenly Ladder descending below them, stretching down and continuing for two hundred steps until it reached another stone gate below – only half as tall as the one they were at, a mere sixty-four zhang in height, yet still noticeably vast and grand.

Other young powerhouses crowded around, observing from a distance, filled with doubts. Was this ancient gate left by an Ancient Great Power just this? Wasn’t it supposed to lead to a mountain of treasures, valuable beyond measure, the Divine Treasure of a Great Power?

Boom—

Suddenly, a loud noise echoed from the Green Stone Heavenly Ladder. The smaller stone gate below suddenly made a thunderous sound and was pushed open, drawing everyone’s attention.

Could there be living beings within the stone gate?

Everyone watched closely as the sixty-four zhang tall stone gate was pushed open. Fog spread out, and a hazy silhouette appeared in the midst of the gate.

At that moment, everyone’s eyes shone sharply, fixating on the figure. Soon after, the fog dissipated, revealing a young figure – a remarkably young man exuding a vigorous spirit, with striking features, resolute brows and bright eyes, standing beneath the stone gate, locking gazes with the powerful beings above.
