Ding! Protagonist of Destiny Lin Chen was utterly humiliated, his Dao Heart collapsed, and his Luck value decreased by 1500 points!
Villain value +1500!
Just as everyone was laughing...
Boom!!
The Creation Saint Body within Lin Chen's body suddenly roared like a dying beast, and golden light shot up into the sky from his entire body!
The Void Realm vibrated.
The dome of the Ascension Road suddenly revealed a myriad of strange phenomena, like stars scattered across the sky.
Countless Auspicious Beasts soared, Dragon and snake phantoms coiled, the universe inverted, heaven and earth turned Xuan Huang, and Chaos mist permeated the air.
It was as if ancient myths were reappearing in the mortal world.
“This is...”
The Cultivators' expressions changed drastically.
They looked up and saw a crack appear in the dome.
A golden, ancient palace, enveloped in divine radiance, slowly materialized in the Void Realm, bathed in ten thousand rays of golden light, mysterious and solemn.
“A Secret Realm palace? In the countless eons of the Ascension Road, such a Secret Realm has never appeared before!”
“Could it be... that the special Physique of that ugly fellow triggered this phenomenon, leading to the Secret Realm's opening?”
“It hasn't opened for thousands of years, yet now it's been activated by this ugly fellow?”
Countless Cultivators discussed animatedly, their expressions shocked.
However, despite the astonishing phenomena, Lin Chen lay slumped on the ground, staring fixedly at the ancient palace in the sky!
His entire body felt drained, the golden light flickered erratically, and he didn't even have the strength to lift his hand. The bitter bile still lingered in his mouth, and he was in a wretched state.
“This is my Opportunity, Lin Chen! I must stand up!”
Lin Chen's eyes were bloodshot, and he gritted his teeth to support his body.
He moved slowly, but with astonishing willpower, dragging his exhausted and weak body, he slowly climbed upwards.
With Lin Chen's actions, many Cultivators on the Dao Discussion Platform who were just watching the show also couldn't sit still.
Their eyes were fervent, and they all set off to step onto the Ascension Road.
Wen Sang and the other Prodigies, who had already been climbing for two days, saw the Secret Realm palace opening at the dome of the Ascension Road. Now they were even more motivated, climbing upwards with all their might.
On the viewing platform of the pavilion.
Jiang Ye stretched lazily, his movements elegant yet with a hint of nonchalance.
Then he slowly propped himself up, casually tugged at his sleeve with one hand, smoothing out the wrinkles.
He paused for a moment, then transmitted a message to Jiang Yi: “Have the Academy seal off the Ascension Road. Expel all Cultivators except for Academy Disciples from the scene, especially Lin Chen. Drag him down and bring him before This Divine Son!”
“If anyone dares to object, kill them directly. This Divine Son will bear all consequences.”
Jiang Yi's figure flickered from the Void Realm, and he transmitted a message to Wang Hongtu from a far distance.
After transmitting the message, he re-submerged into the shadows.
Above the high platform.
Wang Hongtu's expression changed slightly, then a smile appeared on his face.
He had also been planning to use the Academy's name to drive away these Cultivators.
“Everyone, the Secret Realm here belongs to my Cloud Top Academy. Please withdraw for now, otherwise, don't blame my Academy Elders for taking action.”
Although Cultivation could not be used on the Ascension Road, it was ineffective against Cultivators above the Supreme Realm.
A group of Cultivators, who had originally harbored a glimmer of hope, felt a chill in their hearts when they were reprimanded.
However, many Prodigies had powerful forces behind them. Seeing the Academy's forceful expulsion, many people's expressions turned unfriendly.
Among them, Wen Sang was even more unbearable, his eyes flashing with cold light.
His heart pounded wildly, his gaze fixed on the ancient golden palace appearing in the sky, his eyes full of fervor and greed.
“This aura... is even more ancient than the Primordial Era?”
“If I seize the Opportunity of this Secret Palace, not only will my position as Crown Prince be secure, but the position of Dao Son might also be within reach!”
Thinking of this, a blazing flame ignited in his heart, and a hint of unwillingness and madness flashed deep in his eyes.
After pondering for a moment.
Wen Sang gritted his teeth and stood his ground, being the first to speak: “Cloud Top Academy, do you really think this Ascension Road is your family's ancestral grave?”
As he spoke.
His entire body surged with Qi, emitting a faint, indistinct trace of Royal Clan blood Qi.
Vaguely, a golden Dragon phantom appeared behind him, its might sweeping forth.
“I am Wen Sang, the Crown Prince of the Primordial Royal Clan. If you dare to touch me today, you are not putting my Primordial Royal Clan Wen Family in your eyes!”
As soon as his voice fell.
Many Cultivators around him also started to echo him in low voices, their courage growing considerably.
“That's right, the Ascension Road is a heaven-sent Opportunity. How can they monopolize it?”
“Crown Prince Wen is right, Cloud Top Academy is too overbearing!”
Voices rose and fell, and the atmosphere in the field became subtly agitated.
Wang Hongtu's expression on the high platform remained unchanged, he merely cast a faint glance.
“Primordial Royal Clan? So what?”
Cloud Top Academy now had the support of Jiang Ye and Su Qingmeng. What was a mere Wen Family?
He merely flicked his sleeve gently, and a faint green Sword Qi silently shot out.
The space trembled slightly.
In the next instant.
The arrogance on Wen Sang's face instantly froze.
He looked down and saw a dark, snowy hole had appeared on his chest.
“You...”
He looked up in disbelief, his lips trembling.
Before he could utter a single word, his entire body exploded into a cloud of blood mist, even his Primordial Spirit was annihilated, completely Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering.
This Sword Qi, following the point of Wen Sang's impact, rapidly spread out.
All the Prodigies on the Ascension Road, including Lin Chen, simultaneously spat out a mouthful of fresh blood and all fell down.
Boom!!
Just at this moment.
Beyond the sky, terrifying pressures roared like thunder.
“Senior, why do you obstruct me?”
“Killing the Crown Prince of my Primordial Royal Clan Wen Family, aren't you afraid of starting an Immortal War?”
No sooner had Wen Sang died than an old man wearing a purple-gold crown instantly descended, his eyes bloodshot, staring fixedly at Jiang Yi, his killing intent soaring to the sky.
It was Wen Sang's Dao Protector.
Jiang Yi's expression was indifferent. He stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze cold and serene: “My Divine Son of the Jiang Clan said that Wen Sang took the lead in provoking trouble, so he deserved to die.”
“If anyone is unconvinced, my Jiang Clan is ready to face them at any time.”
Killing intent swept between the two sides, the Void Realm trembled, and the atmosphere seemed to be on the verge of exploding.
The golden-armored old man's expression was grim, his footsteps faltered slightly, but he ultimately did not take another half-step forward, only gritting his teeth.
He was merely at the Peak of the Saint Realm. How could he be an opponent for this Quasi-Emperor?
“This Jiang Ye actually has a Quasi-Emperor as his Dao Protector?”
“Longevity Immortal Clan Jiang Family... Empress Hongye...”
His heart was filled with towering rage, but also a hint of helplessness and apprehension.
Although the Wen Family was a Primordial Royal Clan, they only had one Quasi-Emperor. How could they compare to this?
The old man hovered in the Void Realm for a long time, finally flicking his sleeve and departing.
On the Dao Discussion Platform.
The scene was deathly silent.
All the Cultivators were frozen in place as if petrified.
A majestic Crown Prince of the Primordial Royal Clan was thus publicly cut down by a single sword!
His Dao Protector appeared halfway through, presumably to save Wen Sang, but was blocked by Jiang Ye's Dao Protector?
Among the crowd, several Prodigies who had originally intended to shout were instantly scared Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering. They quickly bowed and retreated, not even daring to utter a single fart.
“Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, we'll leave right away!”
“Sorry for the disturbance, farewell!”
A group of Cultivators' hearts pounded wildly, no longer daring to stay. They scrambled to leave the Ascension Road, the scene a chaotic mess.
And Lin Chen, who was sprawled on the ground, his entire body weak and his breath faint, was roughly dragged down the steps by an Academy Elder like a dead dog, all the way to Jiang Ye's pavilion.
The Cultivators' minds were shaken, yet no one dared to speak.
Lin Chen, being dragged on the ground, felt utterly aggrieved. His chest heaved violently, and his face was filled with humiliation and madness.
“Your Academy is truly overbearing! You actually want to monopolize the Secret Realm ancient palace?”
