“All of it! All of it! His Majesty was deceived!”
Extreme grief and hatred appeared in the giant’s eyes. Just when he was about to explain everything, bzzz! His body shuddered, and the armored giant suddenly paled.
“There’s no time! It’s too late!”
He quickly turned his eyes to the holder of the Xuanyuan Sword, Wang Chong.
“You have His Majesty’s sacred sword. If you were able to get in here, you must be the person His Majesty spoke of. I will open the path for you.”
A look of immense regret and sorrow appeared on the giant’s face.
Wang Chong wanted to ask a few more questions, but it was too late!
Bang!
The armored giant raised his hand, pointing his arm up to the heavens. A moment later, the immense energy within his body together with the surging tides of energy in this dimension gathered together onto a point high up in the thunderclouds.
An enormous rumbling shook the world, and the sky seemed on the verge of tearing apart.
As Wang Chong and Li Xuantu looked on, the thunderclouds in the sky were made to withdraw through some invisible power.
As if some spatial passage had been opened, an enormous palace appeared in the sky, as bright as the sun.
Anyone who looked up at this palace would find it hallowed, sacred, and noble beyond compare. This palace seemed like the center of the universe, the overlord that reigned over all living beings from its throne that could not be reached.
‘Celestial Emperor Palace’!
At the very front of this palace complex, atop the lofty gates, Wang Chong saw three large words written in ancient script. Each word was several dozen feet tall and radiated the power of the Great Dao and the laws of the world.
Though he had mentally prepared himself, Wang Chong still felt stunned by the sight of this enormous floating palace.
The Celestial Palace’s core should be in there, Wang Chong said to himself.
If he had not known the truth that all of this was a trap, a scheme concocted by Heaven, Wang Chong would have definitely taken this place to be dwelling of the Celestial Emperor. Perhaps he would have believed that by ascending to the Celestial Emperor Palace, he could become the hegemon of the world and possess supreme authority.
Alas…
Wang Chong stopped this train of thought there.
“Go. His Majesty is waiting for you.”
The armored giant’s power was fading very quickly.
The armored giant turned to Wang Chong as he spoke his final words. “Prophesied one, I will leave Little Nightmare in your care. I hope that you are the right one. Do not disappoint me and all the others.”
Bang!
After saying these final words, the armored giant gathered the last of his energy into a black thundercloud that closed around Wang Chong, Li Xuantu, and Little Nightmare.
“Go!”
Ancient symbols appeared at the four corners of the cloud, and then a powerful energy came from overhead, pulling Wang Chong’s group up to the Celestial Emperor Palace.
At the final moment, Wang Chong glanced down and saw that the enormous figure of the armored giant had dropped his head and was lying motionless, as if he had completed his mission.
The energy in his body completely scattered, and that enormous body slowly sank into the endless ocean.
“Haaah…”
Wang Chong watched as the armored giant slowly disappeared, mentally sighing.
Though the armored giant had a massive body, Wang Chong had been able to use the True World ability to find that the basic form of this giant was actually just a human.
It had been more than one thousand years since the ancient era, and this armored giant was not a mental lifeform like Little Nightmare, nor did he have an immortal soul like Heaven or secret arts of countless civilizations that allowed him to constantly change bodies and extend his lifespan.
He should have vanished long ago, and he had only been able to survive because he had used some special art to bring together the energy of countless people.
This accumulated energy in his body existed to fulfill a mission, and once this mission was over, the energy had faded away, ending his life.
Wang Chong turned his head to Little Nightmare.
Little Nightmare didn’t lower its head, nor did it look at the armored giant. But it was clear that it had understood what the giant’s fate would be.
Wang Chong could feel deep sorrow from Little Nightmare, but it had suppressed it all and made sure that it didn’t get out.
Wang Chong mentally sighed. Little Nightmare must have shared a very deep relationship with that armored giant, and Wang Chong didn’t know what to say to comfort it.
He could already predict that an even crueler matter might be waiting ahead.
Boom!
They moved very quickly, and in just a few seconds, they were above the thunderclouds.
With a massive boom, space trembled, and the Celestial Emperor Palace appeared before them.
At first glance, Wang Chong could tell that a massive golden barrier covered the Celestial Emperor Palace.
