Chapter 23

"Did I hear wrong?"

After looking for a long time, he realized that there was nothing special about this place. However, the map showed that he would be able to enter the Martial King's treasure deposit ten more steps.

"Something abnormal must have happened!"

According to the book, wherever there was a treasure deposit, there would be a trap laid out to ambush them. It was quite vicious, almost to the point of death, so he was able to walk these ten steps very slowly.

Nine steps, eight steps, seven steps. Shen Longxuan stopped and wiped the sweat from his eyes.

The surroundings were completely silent, as if no sound from the outside world could enter this place. He raised his right leg and slowly took a step forward.

Boom! *

The light footsteps made a loud sound, even the usually calm Shen Longxuan was looking around in panic.

"Who is it?"

This was his firm will and determination. If it were anyone else, they would have already escaped.

After a moment, there was no movement. There were still six steps left.

"Go or not?" Shen Longxuan asked himself in his heart.

It was because he felt like he was being watched by something. The feeling made his hair stand on end.

It was like a warning to him that if he retreated, he would be safe. If he moved any further, he would lose his life!

"Since I have already reached this step, there is no reason for me to back down. If I want to, I will have to pay. I will go all out!" Shen Longxuan clenched his teeth and took another step.

Boom! *

Another loud sound rang out, and it was even more intense than the previous one. The sound seemed to have exploded in their hearts, causing them to tremble with fear!

Shen Longxuan seemed to hear the howls of the Giant Beast again.

The warning tone of the voice was especially clear, as if it was prepared to deliver a fatal blow at any moment.

He was covered in cold sweat.

"There are only five steps left. Rather than getting anxious like this, why don't we finish walking in one go?" He thought to himself as he closed his eyes and took a deep breath, calming his pounding heart.

When he opened his eyes again, they were filled with determination. Boom! * Boom! * Boom! * Four consecutive sounds rang out, and just as the final step was about to fall.

Three blood-red rays of light appeared in an instant. Worse still, Shen Longxuan realized that his raised leg could not even land on the ground, as if there was some power that was preventing him from taking that final step.

Boom!" BOOM! Footsteps that could shake mountains rang out. A fifty-foot tall giant with three blood-colored eyes appeared in his field of vision.

Those three lights were actually its eyes!

"This is the Three-Eyed Demon Ape!"

Shen Longxuan knew that this was a Rank Four Demonic Beast, this was a real Martial King Stage cultivation, just the aura alone was already hard for him to move a single step.

"This fellow could probably take his life just by blowing on the air!" Shen Longxuan laughed bitterly, but he could not smile anymore.

The Three-eyed Demon Ape stretched out its right hand and used a thick index finger to cut through the air.

Without a doubt, his finger would be crushed into a meat patty, but right now, he couldn't even move a single finger. He could only watch as the finger, which was thicker than his waist, came crus.h.i.+ng down.

"It's over!"

Shen Longxuan sighed to himself and closed his eyes. A single tear rolled down his face; tears of unwillingness to die.

As the teardrops rolled down, the giant finger also fell down with a loud bang. The tornado that blew against his face was painful to the skin. In front of such irresistible force, everything was futile.

At this moment, Shen Longxuan thought about many things, from his childhood up until now.

However, the expected result did not come as the immense pressure had disappeared and the hurricane had stopped. Shen Longxuan suddenly opened his eyes.

He saw his own battle spirit, that Four-legged snake was standing in the air, emitting a faint Golden Light aura, and there was a pressure inside it that was even more terrifying than that of the Three-Eyed Demon Ape.

Ripples appeared in the air, dispersing all the white mist nearby. The Three-Eyed Demon Ape's three large eyes were unexpectedly filled with terror.

It was trembling as it crawled on the ground, not daring to move at all. It looked as if it was begging for forgiveness, and Shen Longxuan heaved a sigh of relief.

This feeling of having survived was too sudden. Before he even had the chance to be happy, he fell onto the ground with a thump.

He had expended all of his energy just a moment ago.

After recovering for a while, the sky started to brighten slightly. Only then did he put away the battle spirit s, but the three monster apes still did not dare to move. Shen Longxuan smiled and dusted himself off before finally stopping.

Ripples appeared out of nowhere, and Shen Longxuan miraculously disappeared into the ripples. At this time, the Three-eyed Demon Ape stood up, and looked in the direction that Shen Longxuan had disappeared to in a daze.

When the scenery in front of Shen Longxuan's eyes returned to normal once again, he had already arrived in front of a palace-like building. This palace was extremely imposing, even the Imperial Palace was not even a tenth of his size.

Shen Longxuan could not believe his own eyes, because he realized that the entire palace was actually made of gold, in one piece.

This palace covered an area of over 500 feet, the highest was 10 feet, the shortest was also 500 feet high, and even the ground was made of gold.

It was inlaid with countless precious stones, making the entire palace look extremely magnificent. It was simply a treasure that was completely natural.

"Haha, it's time to go!"

Shen Longxuan could be considered to be born in a good family, but he was completely stunned by the scene before him. With all the gold, he could probably buy countless Country of Illusory Moon.

Shen Longxuan started to get curious about the owner of the palace. He would sometimes squat on the ground and knock on the floor tiles made of gold, and other times, he would knock on the walls made of gold.

Now he was standing in front of the door to the palace, on the golden steps, two large golden lions were standing on both sides of the door, three feet above the door hung three large, vigorous characters.

Universal Hall!

The doors to the palace were open. This door was two feet thick, three feet high and four feet wide. "Good boy, how much gold would that be?"

After the excitement, he began to worry that he wouldn't be able to remove these things. Everything was firmly stuck together and not even a single gem could be p.r.i.c.ked off.

In the end, Shen Longxuan gave up. He helplessly shook his head and looked at the treasure mountain, unable to take it away.

He lifted his foot and walked into the palace. All sorts of gems illuminated the palace with a golden glow. Everything here only meant one thing, the owner of the palace was a rich man.

After entering, what entered his vision was a perfect s.p.a.ce supported by countless giant golden pillars. The diameter of the thickest pillar here was at least 20 feet.

There were countless rooms around the palace, and each room had a name, Rainbow Cloud Pavilion, Hibiscus Hall, Vineyard, Apple Woods … And so on and so forth.

Shen Longxuan walked to the center of the palace with quick steps because there was a unique two story pavilion that attracted his attention.

In the center of the first floor, three crystal stone tablets stood side by side. On each of the stone tablets was a purple light s.h.i.+eld, and among them was an item.

Among them, there was a purple ring, and the second one was a scroll emitting a purple glow. It should be a cultivation method or martial skill, and the third one was a jade token.

There were words engraved on the stone tablet. The words stated that the three items must be opened in order for them to be obtained smoothly. Furthermore, a pa.s.sageway would be opened to connect them to the outside world.

If the sequence was wrong, not only would the three items be destroyed, the entire palace would also collapse. Most importantly, this s.p.a.ce would also disappear.

"Caw …" Is this a joke? " Shen Longxuan's angry roar came from the palace.
