The Sun Star was extremely hot, and the temperature was unimaginable. Any metal essence that entered it would immediately turn into essence energy. Only Ancestor God powerhouses were unaffected.
First, a black corpse mist rushed into the Sun Star from the vast land, and then a stone lotus the size of a millstone blossomed under the Sky-Reaching Golden Tree. The two powerhouses of the Heaven Realm had manifested their marks at the same time.
All the cultivators in the surroundings felt apprehensive and quickly distanced themselves from the corpse mist and the stone lotus. They avoided them like snakes and scorpions.
How could they compete? Now that the two powerhouses had appeared, the others probably didn't have a chance.
"All holy objects in the world belong to the virtuous. Violence and brute force don't determine who owns them."
Right at this moment, a somewhat hoarse voice suddenly sounded.
To say such words in front of the marks of these two powerhouses, it could be said that he was extremely daring. He was simply tired of living and tired of living.
The person who spoke was an ordinary-looking old man who looked to be in his fifties or sixties. He was thin and small, and his wrinkled old face was dry and slender like a shoe target. He had a goatee on his chin that was slightly curled. In terms of appearance, he simply looked like an old goat.
You're dead for sure! This was the expression everyone had when they looked at him. It was as if they were looking at an idiot. There must be something wrong with his head if he dared to say such words.
The female Ancestor God who had come with him quickly retreated a few steps and distanced herself from him. She was afraid of drawing trouble to herself.
"Female Bodhisattva, Female Benefactor, didn't you say this to me on the way here? Why are you retreating now?"
The skinny old man's goatee curled up, and his brownish-yellow eyes stared at the retreating female Ancestor God with confusion.
He was truly muddle-headed and ferocious. How could such a person become an Ancestor God? Everyone's jaws dropped. They were all puzzled. They really didn't know how he had cultivated to the Ancestor God Realm.
But to everyone's surprise, after the two powerhouses manifested their marks, they didn't do anything. The corpse mist condensed into a black corpse that stood there quietly. The stone lotus also didn't move, like a stone statue. It had no intention of attacking the old man.
The two giants weren't ordinary people after all, long able to look down on deities. This was what everyone was thinking, believing that the stone corpse and Lotus King completely disregarded him, treating him like air.
At this moment, the mountain-thick, ten-thousand-meter-tall golden tree rustled, its branches and leaves trembled and flickered with rays of golden light.
On top of the golden tree, the phoenix nests were also flowing with brilliant colors, appearing extremely mysterious and beautiful. The phoenix divine birds and vermilion birds circled back and forth in the surroundings, letting out long cries that were crisp and distant.
A dignified middle-aged woman's voice came from the giant golden tree. "Forgive me for not being able to welcome the Lotus Monarch and the Stone Corpse."
Everyone was shocked. This was definitely the Phoenix Clan Ancestor. It was rumored that she had been in seclusion for countless years, who would have thought that she would wake up today.
Beneath the giant golden tree, the millstone-sized stone lotus flower said, "Don't stand on ceremony, Holy Mother Phoenix. I'm just here to take a look. What that cultivator said just now makes sense. All the holy objects in the world belong to the virtuous. I just want to see what kind of heaven-defying treasure will be born."
"Hehe … I'm just here to join in the fun. The treasure belongs to the virtuous."
The stone corpse condensed from corpse mist also put on a fake smile. No matter how one listened, it felt eerie, like a peerless evil spirit blowing a chilly wind, making people feel a chill in their bones.
"Everyone, don't retreat. The treasure belongs to whoever it chooses."
Many people originally had the idea of retreating, but after hearing the stone corpse's words, they didn't dare to act blindly without thinking. They didn't know what this old corpse that existed with the world meant.
"Holy Mother Phoenix, where is the Sun Star Palace? Show us a clear path."
At this time, the skinny little old man stroked his goatee and looked up at the sky.
He really didn't know what was good for him. All the cultivators felt that it was a miracle that he could live until now.
"I don't know where the Sun Star Palace used to be. I've never found it since I came to the Sun Star. After I lived here and planted this divine tree, I named it the new Sun Star Palace."
Hearing the Holy Mother Phoenix's answer, many cultivators couldn't help but size up this divine tree that seemed to be cast from gold and spread out their divine senses to search.
"That heaven-defying war treasure can't really be in this golden tree, right?"
Someone whispered softly.
"I can tell you very responsibly that it's absolutely impossible. I've been cultivating here for hundreds of thousands of years, and I know the situation of this golden tree the best."
The Holy Mother Phoenix clearly rejected that conjecture and said, "Legend has it that there was indeed a king living in the Sun Star back then, but when I came here, he had already fallen many years ago. After so many years, I haven't found any relics. I guess that the real Sun Star Palace should be in a closed state and lacks someone with the strength to open it. Perhaps, it's not the time to open it again."
"Yes, I know that person, hehe …"
Even though the stone corpse was smiling normally, it still sent chills down people's spines. "That person indeed lived in the Sun Star back then. At that time, it could be said that he looked down on the world and all the gods. Unfortunately, in the end, he still fell."
This old corpse existed with the world. He was already a peerless expert millions of years ago. He had lived until now, when almost all his contemporaries had died. In a sense, living for a long time was also a kind of invincible capital. His strength would always slowly increase. It could be said that many peerless enemies had been ground to death by him with time, which was why he had today's supreme status.
A person who was evaluated like this by the stone corpse must have been an extraordinary figure in the past. He was definitely an invincible king of the stone people!
"In the past, I was far from my current achievements. I once observed from afar, and there was indeed a divine palace in the Sun Star."
This was the imprint of the Lotus King. "Unfortunately, after that king fell, the Sun Star Palace also disappeared. However, after careful calculation, it should be time for that star palace to reopen."
Just at this moment, a cultivator exclaimed, "The Five Elements Spirit Treasures are releasing auspicious light. They are pointing to the depths of the Sun Star!"
The Five Elements Spirit Treasures — Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth — had already merged into one and formed a five-colored star. At this moment, it released beams of light and shot them in a certain direction.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go. Those who are virtuous can take it."
The skinny old man was the first to charge forward.
You are really tired of living! Everyone already regarded him as a dead man.
The stone lotus flashed and disappeared in an instant. At the same time, a black fog surged, and the stone corpse also charged into the depths of the Sun Star. The experts followed closely behind. They did not dare to overtake the two giants, but they did not want to fall behind.
Xiao Chen blended in with the crowd and flew forward as well.
The blazing temperature caused flames to surge under many people's feet. Under the influence of the Divine Energy, the surroundings were ablaze.
The Five Elements Spirit Treasures were pointing in the direction of the Sun Star's core. The closer they got to the core, the hotter it became. Some of the Ancestor Gods were not paying attention, and their accessories started burning.
The Heavenly Realm was indeed extraordinary. Not only was the ground abnormally sturdy, able to withstand a battle between Ancestor Gods, but even the Sun Star was more horrifying than the Lower Realm's. The energy it contained was boundless. One had to know that the Ancestor Gods could casually refine and shatter the Sun Star of the Lower Realm. It could be said that the Heavenly Realm was a world stage specially created for Ancestor Gods. Otherwise, how could it contain the strongest experts from the ten thousand realms?
"I have been to the core of the Sun Star before. Back then, I did not discover anything strange. The Star Palace is actually hidden there. How did I discover it in the past …"
The reckless little old man muttered to himself.
Everyone ignored him and rushed forward. However, they did not enter the Sun Star's core because the Five Elements Spirit Treasures had changed direction.
"Eh? A moving Sun Star Palace?"
"Whoosh … whoosh … whoosh …"
All the Ancestor Gods changed direction again, moving as fast as lightning. The Undying Phoenix cried out in front, and many golden trees formed a sea of trees. They were actually Flame Essence Wutong Trees. This was the Phoenix Race's graveyard.
The ten-odd Undying Phoenixes guarding this place wanted to stop the crowd. However, the Phoenix Mother quickly sent them a voice projection, ordering them to retreat and opening a path for the crowd to pass through.
The Phoenix Race had no choice. The heaven-defying War Treasures had attracted the attention of the Heavenly Realm's giants. If they stopped them, it might lead to the destruction of the Phoenix Race.
"The Phoenix Race really knows how to choose a treasured burial ground …"
It was unknown whether the skinny old man was really stupid or just pretending to be stupid. To think that he actually said such a thing in such a situation. "This is the location of the Stone Giant King's Star Palace."
At this moment, the Five Elements Spirit Treasures gave off a bright light, pointing straight to the front of the graveyard, to the vast forest of Flame Essence Wutong Trees.
Amidst the rumbling sounds, it was as if there was an earthquake in the forest of Wutong Trees ahead. Spatial cracks cracked open, and many Flame Essence Wutong Trees were uprooted and thrown into the distance.
In this blazing forest of Divine Wutong Trees, a cracked space gradually appeared. The ancient palace was only the tip of the iceberg, and divine light shot out from the cracked space.
"Rumble …"
The space trembled violently, and an ancient divine palace finally emerged completely. All the palaces were connected together, blossoming with a strange brilliance, forming an indestructible light screen that protected this Star Palace.
Only the huge palace in the center had its door wide open, and there was no light screen to block it.
The stone corpse and the stone lotus simultaneously arrived in front of this Star Palace that had been sealed for countless years.
The stone corpse stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the majestic Star Palace. He nodded and said with some emotion, "As expected, it was left behind by him. Even though he has fallen, he is still so heroic, opening the door to the outside and allowing anyone to enter."
After saying this, the black corpse mist surged, and he was the first to rush in, disappearing in an instant.
At the same time, the stone lotus imprint also disappeared.
The other Ancestral Gods hurriedly followed. Some people didn't want to enter through the door, and wanted to forcefully break the light screen and enter this Star Palace from other directions.
At this moment, the dignified voice of the Holy Mother of Phoenix sounded. "Don't even think about breaking the shackles. Even with the strength of the two great kings, they didn't make such a choice. Do you think you can do it? Back then, that invincible Stone Golem King did things like this. If we don't take the path he left behind, I'm afraid that when the time comes, the ones who will be destroyed will not only be the intruders, but also this place. Even the Heaven Realm will be affected. I definitely can't tolerate anyone destroying the Sun Star. "
All the experts didn't dare to act rashly. Although everyone had their own ideas, at this moment, they had no choice but to consider forming an alliance.
Since this Star Palace was so complicated and unpredictable, and the two big shots weren't traveling with everyone, this meant that everyone still had a chance. It was definitely not good to act alone, and someone might secretly kill them after entering.
In a short period of time, dozens of cultivators quickly chose who would pass through. Most of them were people who had friendly relations with each other.
There were also cultivators who had come together with the same force. For example, the foreign sect had a total of six experts, all of whom were super Ancestral Gods. One could imagine how much they valued this heaven-defying war treasure.
Of course, this wasn't all the cultivators who had come to the Sun Star to search for treasures. There were still many people on the way, and there might be even more powerful people, or even the big shots of the Heaven Realm.
"Hmph hmph hmph …"
At this moment, the six cultivators from the foreign sect sneered and swept a cold glance at the people not far away.
There were four people facing each other coldly. None of them had any expression, and it was obvious that they were also experts.
"The people sent by the Nine Provinces are all old, weak, sick, and disabled. You must be careful. Otherwise, you might never come out after you enter."
A middle-aged cultivator from the foreign sect looked at the four people coldly. His hair was white like blood, and he looked unfathomable. In reality, he was an unparalleled expert with unfathomable strength.
"I'll say the same to you. Be careful, don't be too happy before sorrow!"
The four cultivators from the Nine Provinces Sect replied indifferently.
"Alright, we'll meet inside!"
The white-haired cultivator and the other five experts from the foreign sect rushed into the Star Palace in front of them with a flash of light.
The others entered one after another. After that, the four cultivators from the Nine Provinces Sect also disappeared from their original spots.
Xiao Chen was startled. The experts from the foreign sects made his heart palpitate. He couldn't see through the cultivation of that white-haired cultivator for a moment. What was even more frightening was that one of them seemed to make his heart palpitate even more than that white-haired cultivator. This was a completely instinctive feeling.
In the end, only Xiao Chen and the skinny old man were left. The others had already entered the sealed Star Palace.
"Unexpectedly, no one is willing to travel with this old man. What's wrong with your eyes? Didn't you see such a great expert? What a failure! "
The old man was very narcissistic. In the end, he shook his head.
Xiao Chen was speechless. He thought to himself, Given how muddle-headed you are, who would dare to travel with you? What if you say something shocking again and provoke the stone corpse and the Lotus King's mark? Everyone would die together with you.
Xiao Chen didn't want to delay and also walked in.
"There's no other way. I'll reluctantly bring a burden along with me."
The old man stroked his goatee and sighed.
Xiao Chen looked to his left. At this moment, there was no one else around. This old man was obviously talking to him.
"Old man, you're on your own. Go on your own!"
He really didn't want to travel together with this old goat.
"Young man, you really don't know what's good for you. Where are you going to find an invincible existence like me? Come, come, come. I'll bring you to explore this Star Palace. If we get a heaven-defying treasure, I'll lend it to you to play with for a few years."
Speaking up to here, he arrived in front of Xiao Chen in one step. He didn't allow Xiao Chen to say anything and grabbed his hand. He walked in and said, "Your spiritual sense hasn't reached the Ancestor God Realm. Without an unparalleled expert like me to protect you, aren't you just a moth flying into a flame?"
"…"
Xiao Chen was speechless. This old goat was really impolite. He was so familiar with him that he really couldn't shake him off for a while.
"Those who go in are all cabbages. The real experts are holding the line at the back. For example, me …"
The old goat muttered as he walked.
"Old man, do you really think that you're the Stone Emperor?"
Xiao Chen couldn't help but say this after shaking his hand a few times.
"If you're willing, you can treat me as the Stone Emperor. Of course, if you think that's not enough to show off my strength, you can call me the Stone Emperor's elder brother …"
"The Stone Emperor's elder brother … Old man, you really dare to talk. Be careful of being struck by lightning and the Stone Emperor descending to destroy you!"
As they spoke, the two of them had already entered the Star Palace. The ancient palace gave off a majestic aura and stretched on endlessly, like a sea of palaces.
"Hmm …"
Before they got far, Xiao Chen immediately frowned. There was a corpse in front of him with half a broken spear stuck in it. His spiritual sense had already been destroyed long ago. It was the Ancestor God of the Nine Provinces Sect. He had died a very miserable death. His body was black. The broken spear had swallowed his spiritual sense and corroded his physical body.
"A desperate battle is already unavoidable …"
