Tian Yuan

With one word “kneel”, a storm arose.

The originally peaceful hall was now filled with waves of laws that seemed to drown and destroy the intruders.

The sudden situation caused He Xuan to feel as if he was facing a formidable enemy. His whole body tensed up and he formed several protective seals. His face was extremely tense.

"Why are you kneeling?"

Chen Qingyuan stood like a pine tree and retorted loudly.

The numerous storms were overwhelming, but they could not shake Chen Qingyuan at all. At most, his clothes swayed and a few strands of hair danced.

"When paying homage to the monarch, one should kneel down and bow."

The remaining spiritual intelligence continued to exert pressure, not allowing outsiders to reach the platform so easily. This was its last bottom line as a guardian.

"Without the imperial charm, how can one be worthy of the title of monarch?"

Based on Chen Qingyuan's experience, he can conclude that the master of the ancient palace is definitely not an emperor.

If he is an ancient emperor, no matter how many years have passed, there will always be a trace of imperial rhyme that is different from the ordinary.

"How can an ignorant person understand the dignity of our Lord?"

The temple spirit rebuked and released what little strength he had left in an attempt to suppress the disrespectful person.

"Boom!"

A powerful force poured down from above and landed on Chen Qingyuan's head, like billions of mountains crashing down on him, with a surging momentum that could destroy the world.

"Whoops——"

Chen Qingyuan simply raised his hand, and countless sword beams condensed and formed a sword barrier above him, resisting all the pressure. He did not move his steps, and was as still as a mountain.

After a long time, the pressure dissipated and the atmosphere gradually calmed down.

The ancient temple was badly damaged, with only a wisp of its spiritual intelligence remaining. The power it unleashed this time was enough to suppress the Eight Steps of the Divine Bridge, but it was already its limit.

"Your Majesty, you must be careful."

After glancing around several times, He Xuan was worried that there might be other dangers and said with concern.

"Yeah." Chen Qingyuan nodded in response.

He stretched out his left hand and pressed it on the barrier blocking the front.

"Banglong——"

With a little force, a groove appeared in the barrier, followed by several cracks.

Chen Qingyuan increased his strength, and cracks became more and more numerous, spreading to every position of the barrier at an extremely fast speed.

"Boom——"

After a while, the barrier could no longer bear it and completely collapsed.

Without any obstruction, Chen Qingyuan decided to follow the stairs, step by step, to the top to see what the scenery was like at the top.

"If you don't kneel when I see you, you should be killed!"

The palace spirit was still scolding, but Dao Yun had suffered severe damage and was unable to launch an effective attack.

He Xuan stood at the foot of the platform, not planning to go up. He looked up at Chen Qingyuan who was gradually climbing up, and had a strong feeling of looking up at the back of a king, and wanted to kneel down and worship him.

"Da da da......"

Chen Qingyuan's steps were very steady. His left hand gently pulled at his gown, his right hand hung at his side, his expression stern and his eyes fixed straight ahead.

With every step taken, a few Dao patterns would splash out, causing the surrounding void to tremble faintly.

I didn’t feel anything at first, but when I reached a certain height, a very strong pressure came over me.

When Chen Qingyuan got serious, a chill emanated from his whole body, making people afraid to approach him.

Feeling the pressure, his steps paused slightly, but he did not stop and continued to climb.

What is certain is that the pressure does not come from the wisdom of the ancient temple, but from this platform.

Countless years have passed, and the forbidden power on the platform has not dissipated, which is unusual.

"Boom"

High up, there seemed to be a sea of ​​thunder rolling.

"call--"

The wind was blowing hard, blowing Chen Qingyuan's clothes, adding a touch of unruly and wild flavor to them.

The ancient laws came together to form a series of strange scenes.

"Om-"

The pillars throughout the hall seemed to come alive, with a circle of faint ripples surrounding their surfaces and flashing with strange light.

He Xuan looked around, his whole body tensed up, his expression solemn, and he murmured, "The original owner of this place was obviously not the Great Emperor, but the many methods he left behind can still be preserved to this day, and his pressure is like that of a king, which is incredible."

If he were to ask himself honestly, He Xuan felt that even his own father might not have such ability.

Then, he turned his attention to Chen Qingyuan and whispered to himself, "Your Majesty, nothing should happen to you, right?"

After a long time, Chen Qingyuan was only a few dozen steps away from the top.

Chen Qingyuan's forced move to the stage activated an ancient object that had been dormant for countless years. It could be this platform, or the throne at the top, or something hidden in the void.

"Kick!"

"Kick!"

The further you go, the heavier your footsteps become, like a huge rock falling, with loud sounds.

The pressure that Chen Qingyuan was under was beyond the imagination of ordinary people, as if he was carrying several stars on his shoulders. This was just external pressure and was nothing.

The key is the pressure on the soul, which would make Chen Qingyuan frown and look a bit tired from time to time.

Despite the great pressure, Chen Qingyuan still reached the top.

After clearing away the thick fog, we could finally see the entire ancient temple clearly.

A thousand feet ahead is the center of the platform.

There was a huge throne, which was a million times more luxurious than the dragon throne of the mortal dynasty. It was exquisite and flawless, with perfect texture.

Chen Qingyuan stared at the throne, his lips slowly parted, his pupils dilated, and his expression was obviously surprised.

What surprised him was not the throne but what was on the seat.

On the throne, there sits a skeleton!

The skeleton is huge, and roughly speaking it should be ten feet tall, most likely a giant.

Countless years have passed, and a few traces of ancient Taoist patterns still remain on the bones, keeping the skeleton intact and resisting the erosion of time as much as possible.

Although it was just a skeleton, Chen Qingyuan still felt the extremely strong power.

"Not a king, but better than a king."

Seeing that there was no imperial rhyme law on the white bones, Chen Qingyuan was even more certain of this.

He calmed down and regained his calm and composed look.

Chen Qingyuan decided to take a closer look, moving forward slowly and carefully so as not to touch the dangerous restrictions and get himself into trouble.

After walking a few steps, something strange happened.

"Rumble--"

The platform began to shake, and the entire palace began to shake along with it.

Chen Qingyuan immediately stopped and looked around with a sharp look in his eyes.

"what's the situation?"

He Xuan was so frightened that his whole body shuddered. A layer of light golden light shield condensed on the surface of his body. Powerful spiritual energy surrounded his body, and he was ready to deal with the difficulties.

However, the ancient palace just kept shaking without any murderous intent.

After a stick of incense had passed, the amplitude of the vibration had obviously decreased.

On the high platform, a crack appeared on the ground in front of Chen Qingyuan's right side.

"Rumble--"

A stone tablet emerged from the crack.

After the stone tablet was completely stabilized, the tremors in various parts of the ancient temple disappeared at the same time, and it became very peaceful.

Chen Qingyuan had been staring at the stone tablet and naturally discovered the words written on it.

"I..."

On the stone tablet, the last words of the master of the ancient temple are engraved.
