Chapter 788: Chapter 789: Divine Palace Legacy

"In fact, the person I was most optimistic about from the start was also this little fellow,"

the Artifact Spirit elder said, looking at Chu Fengmian with a smile as he spoke.

"Very good, as expected, you did not disappoint this old man’s high regard. Follow me!"

The Artifact Spirit elder slowly spoke, and the space around suddenly shattered and reassembled, forming a gigantic tunnel.

Chu Fengmian looked at it and could not make out the end of the tunnel, let alone what it led to.

"What terrifying power!"

At the moment the Artifact Spirit elder made his move, Chu Fengmian seemed to be unable to discern his strength, how far it had reached.

He was much more powerful than any martial artist at the realm of shattering fate.

Especially since this Artifact Spirit elder was merely an Artifact Spirit, not a Martial Artist; in his impression, an Artifact Spirit should only be capable of assisting a Spiritual Artifact.

Chu Fengmian had never imagined that an Artifact Spirit could be so powerful.

"Hmph, what’s this old man compared to truly powerful Artifact Spirits? He’s nothing,"

it seemed like Xing Xuan heard Chu Fengmian’s thoughts, his disdainful voice suddenly rang out in Chu Fengmian’s mind.

"If I could regain my full strength, I would be able to pinch this old man to death with one finger."

Xing Xuan’s words were full of arrogance, but Chu Fengmian heard an extreme confidence in his tone, a confidence that did not see this elder as anything noteworthy.

"One finger to pinch the life out of this Artifact Spirit elder?"

Chu Fengmian was somewhat incredulous upon hearing Xing Xuan’s claim.

The true strength of the Artifact Spirit elder was unclear to Chu Fengmian, but it was certainly greater than most of the ancient beings who had surpassed life and death.

Chu Fengmian’s Spiritual Sense couldn’t penetrate the old man’s true power, which was testament enough to his might.

Yet, to Xing Xuan, the elder seemed extremely weak, not even deemed worthy of his attention.

"What, don’t believe it? Hmph, if I were to regain my full strength, this little Nine Domains would mean nothing,"

Xing Xuan said haughtily.

"If you’re so powerful, how did you fall to your current state?"

Chu Fengmian couldn’t help but ask upon hearing Xing Xuan’s claim.

Xing Xuan seemed to lose his temper for a moment at Chu Fengmian’s words, fell silent for a while, then finally spoke.

"What I’ve been through is beyond your imagination. When you truly stand at the peak of the Nine Domains, you might indeed be qualified to know about the past."

After saying this, Xing Xuan fell silent, no longer responding to any of Chu Fengmian’s questions.

"Beyond the Nine Domains, lies another universe."

Chu Fengmian now had a rough guess about Xing Xuan’s origins, which decidedly were not within the Nine Domains, but from the endless outer space beyond the Domains.

The outer space beyond harbored other Martial Artists, other forces; all this had been mere speculation since ancient times, with no one to prove it true.

Yet the Battle Dragon Technique that Xing Xuan once taught Chu Fengmian could obviously not be a Cultivation Technique from the Nine Domains, and none of the sects or powerful beings in all of the Nine Domains could have created such a monstrous technique.

With Chu Fengmian’s current strength, he had not even perfected the first layer, which spoke volumes about the perverseness of the Battle Dragon Technique.

The origin of such a technique could only be from one place, beyond the Nine Domains.

Moreover, the name ’Xingxuan Sword’ had never appeared in the history of the Nine Domains.

"Battle Dragon Technique, Xingxuan Sword; who could possibly have created such existences?"

Chu Fengmian sighed softly under his breath, then took Han Yueli’s hand and stepped into the tunnel together.

At the moment the Artifact Spirit elder stepped into the tunnel, a voice spread throughout the entire Yunyu Heavenly Palace.

"The inheritance of Yunyu Heavenly Palace has now begun, and the Yunyu Heavenly Palace will soon close. All must leave quickly! Those who do not leave shall die!"

This commanding voice resounded throughout the entire Yunyu Heavenly Palace.

"The inheritance of the Yunyu Heavenly Palace has begun?"

"Who could it be? Who obtained the fifty thousand Feather Crystals so quickly?"

"Is it Chu Fengmian? Or is it Saint Lord Huang?"

"I don’t know, but the Yunyu Heavenly Palace really is closing. Let’s leave quickly, or it’s all over if we’re trapped inside!"

Some martial artists, hearing this announcement, looked up and talked amongst themselves, but some had already noticed.

The Yunyu Heavenly Palace had begun to close.

If they did not leave, they would be completely trapped within.

In front of a palace, Saint Lord Huang stood still, with countless Feather Crystals laid out before him, piled up like a mountain.

"Forty-nine thousand nine hundred ninety-seven."

As he counted the last Feather Crystal, Saint Lord Huang’s face sank to new depths of darkness.

It was then that the voice of the Artifact Spirit elder suddenly boomed from the sky.

"Bang!"

Clenching his teeth in frustration and rage, Saint Lord Huang fiercely slapped the ground, and the Feather Crystals before him turned to powder.

"Damn it! To hell with Chu Fengmian! I will kill you!"

Saint Lord Huang roared manically, grinding his teeth, his eyes filled only with endless fury and rage.

"Elder brother, let’s leave quickly, the gate of Yunyu Heavenly Palace is already closing,"

a disciple of the Ancient Desolate Sect hurried over, not caring about Saint Lord Huang’s fury, and urgently spoke.

"Hmph! Chu Fengmian, I will kill you!"

With infinite murderous intent in his eyes and a heart full of unwillingness, Saint Lord Huang took one last look at the Yunyu Heavenly Palace, then moved and left the place.

The martial artists present all left the Yunyu Heavenly Palace, and finally, after five minutes, the great gates of the Yunyu Heavenly Palace slammed shut, no longer permitting any martial artist entry.

Elsewhere.

Chu Fengmian and Han Yueli stepped through the spatial tunnel to find themselves before a vastly grand palace that sat atop the nine heavens,

towering higher than the hundred palaces before.

Upon the great doors of this palace were four characters: Yunyu Divine Palace.

These four characters seemed to have been engraved by an unparalleled powerful being, and despite the passage of countless years, they remained clear with strokes plainly visible.

Only then did Chu Fengmian notice that the plaque with these four characters was crafted with supreme quality Heavenly Xuan Crystal.

Heavenly Xuan Crystal was known to be one of the toughest materials against time, such that even the strongest of martial artists could not alter it in the slightest.

Yet, these four characters were carved upon it, the one who had written ’Yunyu Divine Palace’ must possess a level of power far beyond Chu Fengmian’s imagination.

"This place is the forbidden ground of my Yunyu Heavenly Palace, the Yunyu Divine Palace,"

the Artifact Spirit elder said, looking at the Yunyu Divine Palace with a trace of nostalgia in his eyes.

"It’s been seventy thousand years since anyone set foot here. Not bad, this time we have indeed chosen a fine seedling for our Yunyu Heavenly Palace. Both of you, come in."
