Chapter 2346 - The Final Seal! (1/2)

Wang Chong said nothing, but he recalled a certain piece of information the Stone of Destiny had once revealed.

If his guess was right, that Emperor Wu of Han from nearly one thousand years ago had also been one of those Destiny Bodies the Stone of Destiny had mentioned. He also must have had a Stone of Destiny or a shard of it.

Only an item like this could draw Heaven’s attention and make him go to so much trouble to deceive a mortal sovereign.

Wang Chong’s sole remaining question was which of the nine Destiny Bodies Emperor Wu had been.

However, this was not the only thing that Wang Chong had noticed.

“Great General Huo…”

Wang Chong once more scanned the words on the wall, his mind slightly shaken. He seemed to think of something, but he quickly focused and covered Li Xuantu with his Stellar Energy.

“Let’s go. Heaven should be catching up soon,” Wang Chong sternly said, his eyes fixed above him. For some reason, Wang Chong felt that the situation within the Celestial Palace would be very different from what they had envisioned. Not only that, he also felt that something new and different would be waiting for them at the end of the Heaven-Reaching Path.

And from its aura, it differed markedly from Heaven’s energy.

……

……

Whoosh!

A few moments later, there was a howl of wind, and an enormous torrent of energy rushed down from above. Rumble! At the same time, they felt an enormous pulse of energy.

“Watch out! It seems to be another one of Heaven’s seals!”

Li Xuantu’s heart trembled as he stepped forward and warily looked up.

Above them, a giant golden dome covered the exit to the Heaven-Reaching Path.

Auspicious clouds floated across the golden seal, along with numerous unrecognizable divine words. The laws of the Great Dao infused within occasionally erupted with a fearsome power.

After getting through all the previous seals, neither of them had expected to encounter this last seal.

But Li Xuantu quickly sensed something and doubtfully looked up.

“Something’s not right. This doesn’t seem to be Heaven’s power.”

This seal was very strange. Li Xuantu could tell that, for some strange reason, this seal differed in terms of power and character from any of the other seals they had encountered.

“You also sensed it?” Wang Chong’s voice rang out.

Thwish!

As Li Xuantu and Little Nightmare watched, Wang Chong gathered his Stellar Energy and used the power of the Stone of Destiny to convert its aura to Heaven’s.

This bolt of Stellar Energy shot forward and disappeared into that ancient golden seal.

Boom!

Like a boulder had been cast into a lake, the seal was thrown into turmoil, gouts of pure destructive energy erupting from within it.

Crack! Crack! The two of them watched as space was riven in two, torn apart like a sheet of paper, large chunks of space turned to black void.

This sort of power made Wang Chong and Li Xuantu both tremble in fear.

This formation was borrowing the power of nature and the Great Dao. This was a power that was completely different in character from that of martial artists, and this seal presented a fatal threat to even the likes of Li Xuantu and Wang Chong.

But what shocked the two of them the most was the seal’s final shift.

Roooar!

After the destructive energy had erupted, thunderclouds roiled on the surface of the seal, and an enormous true dragon came roaring out.

One, two, three… countless golden dragons charged out, their bodies so solid as to be tangible and rendered in vivid detail. Each of these dragons was hundreds of thousands of feet long, and in a flash, they covered every inch of the seal, turning into an intimidating sea of dragons.

“This is…!?”

Even Li Xuantu, despite his revered and imperial background, was speechless from shock.

The art of formations in the Central Plains had waned long ago. This was clearly not a seal of this era.

Little Nightmare spoke an unbelievable conclusion. “This seal has the power to reject Heaven.”

Wang Chong and Li Xuantu said nothing. They had also noticed this, and they both knew that this clearly didn’t make sense. No one would set up a seal against themselves.

Wang Chong pensively looked up as he once more gathered Stellar Energy in his right hand and prepared to try again.

“Let me try!” Li Xuantu said.

Bang!

He waved his sleeve, and a bolt of energy pierced through the air and disappeared into the seal at the end of the Heaven-Reaching Path. They were ready for what might transpire, but then something surprising happened.

The seething seal calmed down, and Li Xuantu’s bolt of Stellar Energy vanished into the seal without a ripple, a mud doll dissolving into the ocean. It was like Li Xuantu had never attacked at all.

“This place is getting stranger and stranger. How could the Celestial Palace have a seal that doesn’t belong to Heaven?” Li Xuantu sternly said.

In terms of aura, this did not seem like a seal set down by Heaven, and now, Li Xuantu was at least seventy percent sure that this wasn’t Heaven’s seal.
