Chapter 1227 - 1226: Peak of Ancestor Realm

Chapter 1227: Chapter 1226: Peak of Ancestor Realm

"What the hell, what’s going on? Only weaker individuals can enter?" Countless strong people stood speechless outside the Golden Palace, expecting some great opportunity, only to find that only ants could go inside.

However, as the news spread, countless people from the Immortal World descended in frenzy. Initially thought to be a feast for the strong, it turned out that only the weak could enter, sparking excitement in many.

Yet, with the passage of time—one day, two days, then five days—no one came out, and many dared not go in. It was terrifying; no one coming out meant death, yet the situation inside was unknown, sparking various speculations.

On this day, Mu Chen appeared, having been in seclusion for half a month, breaking through to Ancestor Realm Late Stage Peak Realm. His strength was now at least at the Peak of Ancestor General; Mu Chen no longer feared Ancestor General Strong People.

"The breath of Ancestor Divine." Mu Chen appeared, sensing the breath through the Divine Dragon Eye, his expression changing.

"Master, indeed, it’s this person’s breath. But with your Disguise Technique, he cannot detect you."

"This person needs a genius of unimaginable talent to grow to be the strongest. Although he hasn’t detected me now, I dare not enter the Golden Palace lightly," Mu Chen said seriously. Throughout these fifteen days, Mu Chen had been using the Divine Dragon Eye to examine everything around, thus understanding the situation here.

"Exactly, even if Master gains the opportunity inside, upon exit, countless people will hunt you down."

"Yet I’m too reluctant to give up easily," Mu Chen frowned and said, still wanting to try.

"Master, it’s possible. This palace gives me the feeling of being an extremely powerful weapon. If recognized as its owner, added with the inheritance inside and my help, you can leave unnoticed."

"Are you sure you can escape in front of Ancestor Divine Strong People?" Mu Chen asked with some doubt.

"To be honest, I’m not sure, but we must see if the inheritance inside offers many benefits. If I recover decently, perhaps we can use a Forbidden Technique to escape."

"Understood, but damn, it’s all due to those accursed Demon Clan. If not for their destruction here, this Golden Palace wouldn’t have been exposed, and I could have sneaked in quietly," Mu Chen cursed in anger.

"Hehe, Master, stop scolding. Since you’ve decided, then go!"

"Hmm, even knowing it might be a path of near death, there’s no other choice. The future cannot be traversed slowly step by step. I can wait, but Yu Xi cannot. I must walk ahead of everyone," Mu Chen gritted his teeth, sped to below the Golden Palace, and stepped inside.

"Holy crap, isn’t that kid afraid to die?"

"Another one unafraid to die."

Mu Chen’s entrance caused much discussion among onlookers, for everyone had previously seen that no one had ever come back out. If you weren’t a gifted individual entering, you were courting death.

"Interesting, someone who knows the danger yet still goes in. This person probably has some real strength," many speculated differently.

Among much conjecture, Mu Chen had already entered and stepped into the palace.

"What’s happening?" As Mu Chen entered, he saw countless Demon Beasts frantically rushing at him, including Demon General Level beasts, with an intense smell of blood in the air. Meanwhile, Mu Chen noticed a few people gathering strength to fend off the beasts on this withered land.

But Mu Chen had no time to think. As the beasts charged, Mu Chen immediately gathered Black Power and attacked the beasts.

"This is my killing ground," Mu Chen sneered, striking wildly.

In an instant, dozens of Demon Beasts were smashed away by Mu Chen’s Power of Ten Thousand Realms, only to be devoured by it, transforming into more Power of Ten Thousand Realms. Mu Chen felt his strength climbing rapidly.

"Kill."

Afterwards, countless Demon Beasts were slaughtered by Black Power, regardless of strength, unable to escape its devouring. Hundreds of beasts were annihilated within an hour, transforming into the Power of Ten Thousand Realms and entering Mu Chen’s body, pushing his Realm to the Peak of Ancestor Realm, his aura climbing madly. If the power was fully refined, a breakthrough to the Ancestor Realm was likely.

Meanwhile, four people survived, though two were severely injured and one lightly wounded. They looked at Mu Chen with extreme shock, realizing without Mu Chen, they’d likely all be dead.

"No breakthrough yet." After days of refining, Mu Chen opened his eyes, finding himself still at the Peak of Ancestor Realm, though fully at the peak, unable to break through.

"Seems like understanding isn’t enough. Comprehension of the Ancestor Spirit Realm isn’t sufficient," Mu Chen said earnestly, acknowledging more progress was needed to break into the Ancestor Spirit Realm.

"I am Feng Wuheng."

"My name is Lin Xuemei."

"Huang Yi."

"Zhang Jian."

The four immediately approached Mu Chen respectfully and spoke.

"No need for such formality; I am called Evil Demon," Mu Chen randomly picked a name.

Yet Mu Chen was astonished by Lin Xuemei’s beauty, rivaling Shui’s beauty, breathtaking and captivating, making people drool at first sight.

"Evil Demon brother, your strength is unparalleled. Only you can lead us out of here. The inheritance is no longer important—or perhaps it is the most crucial," Feng Wuheng said seriously.

"Indeed, survival is what truly matters," the three others echoed.

"If survival truly matters to you, stay here," Mu Chen replied earnestly.

"We don’t know if there’s danger here, and staying is less safe than teaming up. Strength in numbers; together, we’re safer," Feng Wuheng argued.

"Makes sense! Let’s stay together," Huang Yi said quickly.

"Going together means I won’t be blamed if we die," Mu Chen stated seriously.

"Of course," the four agreed.

"Then let’s go together!" After considering it, Mu Chen agreed; having company wasn’t dull, and controlling them during the final inheritance would suffice.

"Alright."

Next, Mu Chen and the others moved swiftly but entered an Energy Layer overhead. Mu Chen’s group estimated that the Golden Palace had many layers, only passing through these Energy Layers could lead to the peak.

"Hmm? What’s happening? Is there no one here?" The five just arrived, finding no one. The space was desolate.
