Chapter 624: Chapter 614: The Top Ten Old Antiques!

Boom! A muffled sound of thunder exploded in the night sky above Tianlan Imperial City and, in an instant, Tianlan Imperial City began to flash with lightning and roar with thunder, as a violent windstorm ensued.

Shi Feng followed Emperor Lann Yuan and Prince Lann Guang into a secret underground passage of the Imperial Palace. Along both sides of the passage, bright pearls were embedded, illuminating the underground passage in a cascade of light.

Along this underground passage, Shi Feng and Lann Yuan, accompanied by Lann Guang, walked slowly onward.

The passage was well-lit, yet the ground and walls were full of traces, showing that it hadn’t been repaired for many years and must have experienced many epochs.

As the three of them continued to penetrate deeper into the underground passage, before long, a golden gate, as if forged from pure gold, appeared in front of them.

On that golden gate was carved a fierce and powerful Nine-clawed Golden Dragon.

At this moment, Lann Yuan and Lann Guang paused, standing before the golden gate. Subsequently, they both formed handprints simultaneously, and myriad golden mystical runes flew out from their hands.

The dense golden runes gathered together, forming a phantom of a Golden Dragon. A loud dragon’s roar echoed throughout the passage, causing the very earth to tremble slightly.

Then, the phantom Golden Dragon made from golden runes fiercely rushed toward the golden gate and collided violently with the Golden Dragon pattern on the gate.

The phantom of the Golden Dragon disappeared as if merging into the golden gate, and at that moment, the gate began to shimmer with a dazzling golden light, instantly dyeing the entire space golden!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" Under the sound of heavy trembling, the golden gate slowly rose towards the sky.

As the golden gate raised, a world inside began to gradually reveal itself to Shi Feng.

His first impression upon looking inside was that this was a spacious and splendid Underground Palace! Lit by bright pearls, the Underground Palace was also bathed in light.

As the golden gate rose, the dazzling golden light began to fade, and the shaking of the underground space also ceased.

At this time, Lann Yuan and Lann Guang stopped forming the sealing handprints, and Lann Yuan turned his head to Shi Feng and said, "The Golden Dragon Gate is open; let us go in."

"Hmm!" Shi Feng nodded slightly and once again followed the two into the palace.

The moment he stepped into the Underground Palace, Shi Feng immediately felt a number of powerful auras within.

Following those powerful auras, Shi Feng looked up.

Standing in front of Shi Feng were towering, enormous columns shaped like Golden Dragons. There were ten Golden Dragon Pillars in total, where nine of them, virtually identical in shape and size, were arranged in the configuration of Nine Dragons flanking a bright pearl.

The tenth Golden Dragon Pillar stood at the center of the nine, incomparable in both size and presence, evoking the sense of a crane standing among chickens.

Atop each of the ten Golden Dragon Pillars were seated elders in Golden Dragon Robes, each emanating powerful auras. These elders all appeared to be older than Prince Lann Guang, and their auras were no weaker than a Four-star Martial Saint Realm like Prince Lann Guang!

Especially the elder sitting atop the central Golden Dragon Pillar, his wrinkled face resembled a dried chrysanthemum, indicating countless years of life, possibly spanning several centuries. His aura was enduring and imposing like the vast ocean, unfathomable! None here could compare with him.

In the Tianlan Empire’s Underground Palace, in the Imperial Family of the Lanns of the Tianlan Empire, there were actually so many ancient elders in hiding! If these ten elders were to make an appearance, then even the Top Ten Powerhouses of the Tianlan Empire would have to stand aside.

"Lann Yuan pays his respects to all the ancestors!"

"Lann Guang pays his respects to all the ancestors!"

Upon entering the Underground Palace, both Lann Yuan and Lann Guang stood before the ten Golden Dragon Pillars and bowed deeply to the ten age-old figures atop the pillars.

Shi Feng stood proudly above these two, continuing to raise his head, looking at the ten ancient figures above.

As soon as the voices of Lann Yuan and Lann Guang fell, at that very moment, the eyes of the ten elders sitting cross-legged on the Golden Dragon Pillars suddenly snapped open.

A terrifyingly powerful aura began to permeate the Underground Palace, like ten fierce beasts awakening from a deep slumber all at once.

Then, each of the awakened elders focused their gaze squarely on Shi Feng, who stood behind Lann Guang and Lann Yuan.

Upon seeing Shi Feng, the oldest elder in the center revealed a somewhat satisfied expression and slowly said, "Is this the one-in-a-million genius from the marriage combat competition? Not bad, reaching the Two-star Martial Saint Realm at such a young age! This talent is indeed a rare sight in our entire Eastern Domain in a hundred years!"

After the central elder finished speaking, the other aged figures also revealed somewhat satisfied expressions, nodding and saying, "Hmm! Not bad! Not bad! Indeed, not bad!"

However, although they were somewhat satisfied, their faces did not show much excitement. In their eyes, the fact that Lann Yuan and Lann Guang brought a young genius of the Two-star Martial Saint Realm seemed quite ordinary, something they had more or less expected.

At this time, Lann Yuan clasped his fists and once again spoke respectfully to the ten elders, "Ancestors, although this person’s Martial Arts Cultivation is at the Two-star Martial Saint Realm, today, he has slain a Four-star Martial Saint!"

As Lann Yuan finished speaking, at that very moment:

"What!"

"What!"

"What!"

"What!"

A series of exclamations echoed in the air, and the ancient elders, who had appeared tranquil, suddenly showed shocked expressions upon hearing Lann Yuan’s words.

Being at the Two-star Martial Saint Realm was one thing, but slaying a Four-star Martial Saint while only at the Two-star Martial Saint Realm was quite terrifying! In the Martial Saint Realm, being able to challenge someone one star above you was already an existence defying the heavens, but this young man had challenged and even defeated a Four-star Martial Saint!

"To slay a Four-star Martial Saint while at the Two-star Martial Saint Realm, this! This kind of talent is really defying the heavens! This selection has indeed not disappointed us," an elder from the Golden Dragon Pillar praised.

After that elder’s words fell, another elder on a nearby Golden Dragon Pillar also spoke up, nodding and saying, "Indeed! With such talent, on the Martial Arts Sky Tower, he is sure to bring us a surprise!"

Hearing these elders’ words, Lann Yuan remembered something he had overlooked and then continued to address the elders, "Ancestors, when this person slew the Four-star Martial Saint, his Martial Arts Realm was at the One-star Martial Saint Realm!"
