Peerless Dragon Sovereign-Chapter 639: The Stoneborn

The Land of Inheritance was right before their eyes; everyone had schemed for many years to open this place. At this moment, as they finally reached it, everyone couldn't help but become excited.

Qiu Huang remained silent; the closer it came to such a moment, the calmer he became.

Chu Nan looked at the towering gate before him and said, "Alright, I will now open the Land of Inheritance."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Nan summoned the remaining two Blood Corpses.

They had undergone the Blood Refining Technique and absorbed Bu Qingfeng's Ancestral Bloodline, thus possessing the ability to open the Land of Inheritance.

Under the expectant gazes of everyone, Chu Nan controlled the Blood Corpses to approach the gate of the Land of Inheritance.

Buzz~

Perhaps sensing the Ancestral Bloodline, the gate actually emitted a humming sound, as if it were responding.

This scene had never occurred before; excitement and eager anticipation appeared on everyone's faces, even Qiu Huang's expression became solemn.

First, a single Blood Corpse approached. Before Chu Nan could make his next move, the gate suddenly exuded a forceful suction.

With a whoosh, the entire Blood Corpse clung to the gate, and in an instant, was completely devoured by it, without even a trace of blood left behind.

As the entire Blood Corpse was devoured, the gate transformed into a blood-red color, with a terrifying aura beginning to permeate the surroundings.

"It really worked!"

"Great, the Land of Inheritance can finally be opened."

Qiu Huang remained silent, while Ku Hun was eager to rush in first, with only Chu Nan showing a slightly grave expression.

He hadn't anticipated that opening the gate to the Land of Inheritance would require devouring a whole Spirit Corpse!

This change was unexpected for him, but Chu Nan did not stop his actions; instead, he controlled the remaining Blood Corpse to approach the gate.

Just as before, the suction of the gate reappeared, once again consuming the Blood Corpse entirely, turning the whole gate blood-red, with a powerful ancient aura hitting them in the face.

Even Qiu Huang of the Ninth Heaven could not help but feel a tremendous pressure, as if facing a terrifying strongman above the Ninth Heaven.

Rumble~

Soon, the entire gate began to tremble; a portal that hadn't been moved for thousands of years was finally about to open at this moment.

Golden light seeped through the cracks of the gate, becoming increasingly dazzling, as if there was a giant sun set beyond the portal.

Bam!

At last, the gate opened, revealing a huge golden vortex, leading to an unknown place.

Opportunities and extreme dangers filled the air; no one knew what lay beyond the vortex; it might hold world-shattering fortunes or possibly deadly peril.

But at this point, who could abandon the chance to step into the Land of Inheritance?

Qiu Huang and Ku Hun were the first to act, their bodies tracing residual shadows, stepping into the golden vortex one after the other.

Closely following were the Second Hall Master and Jiang Meier, followed by numerous elders and hall masters.

Only Chu Nan stared silently at the golden vortex, but eventually followed suit.

As they passed through the vortex, the scene before them suddenly opened up.

Unlike before, when entering the Main Hall, everyone was transported to different spaces; after passing through the golden vortex, everyone arrived at a single location. Behind them, the golden vortex remained, allowing for an exit at any time.

Chu Nan surveyed the surroundings and found it to be an extremely vast world, teeming with life, with mountains and rivers abundantly present, incredibly rich in Spiritual Energy. In the distance, the clear cries of beasts could faintly be heard emerging from the dense mountains.

However, what caught everyone's attention was the enormous golden sun hanging at the end of the world.

The light from the sun bathed all things, emitting an astonishingly terrifying aura.

Most intriguingly, at the center of the sun, there seemed to be a black shadow sitting cross-legged, faintly visible.

This figure was lifelike; Chu Nan could even see it breathing in and out.

"This sun might have been crafted by the legendary stone men, truly befitting a force that built the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall, such magnificence!" Ku Hun couldn't help but exclaim.

Chu Nan furrowed his brow, not understanding what these stone men were.

Jiang Meier, who had always been interested in Chu Nan, helpfully explained, "So-called stone men are a kind of naturally occurring spiritual object."

"Legend has it that certain stones deep in special Secret Realms, by absorbing the essence of the sun and moon, incubate life within. These beings are naturally endowed with an insanely resilient physique comparable to Martial Artists of the Unity Realm, and their cultivation aptitude aligns with the Heavenly Dao."

"Before the two realms were divided, stone men were born, sweeping the lower world undefeated, a true legend."

At this point, Qiu Huang added, "Every stone capable of nurturing a stone man is an utmost Supreme Treasure. If used to craft Spirit Martial weapons, they would at least be Saint-grade, and nearly Heavenly-grade."

At that moment, everyone realized the preciousness of that sun—it was actually a Supreme Treasure close to a Heavenly-grade Spirit Martial.

Nothing more needed to be said; only such a treasure could form the core of the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall, this Heavenly-grade Spirit Martial!

"If we refine this sun, the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall could be claimed," an unnamed elder appeared crazed; who could resist the allure of a Heavenly-grade Spirit Martial? Even with Qiu Huang here, they wanted to take a gamble.

With a swoosh, that unnamed elder flew out, charging toward the sun in the sky.

Boom!

However, what nobody anticipated was that just after flying less than a hundred meters high, the entire body of the unnamed elder suddenly exploded, turning into a cloud of blood mist.

"What happened!"

"What's going on; how did he die?"

The death of the unnamed elder horrified everyone because no one saw how he suddenly exploded and died.

"There's a trap here; as long as we're fast enough, the trap can't catch us." A hall master, unbelieving, immediately surged forward at even greater speed after the unnamed elder fell.

But as he reached a hundred meters high, his body also exploded suddenly, blood raining down.

At this time, Chu Nan stated, "This space has restrictions, preventing martial artists from flying above a hundred meters!"

Seeing two people consecutively die at the same height, Chu Nan quickly realized, and everyone else suddenly understood, but still looked troubled, "Without flying, how do we reach the core of the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall?"

Martial artists all around discussed; the sun loomed in the sky, yet here they couldn't fly above a hundred meters, a frustrating see-but-can't-touch situation.

Just then, Qiu Huang stepped forward, rushing toward the sun.

The Second Hall Master and Jiang Meier followed closely, and Ku Hun also reacted and quickly joined them.

The Fourth Hall Master, seeing this, appeared surprised, "Master, how are they all flying over, aren't they afraid of the space's restrictions?"

Chu Nan showed a thoughtful expression, quickly understanding, "Of course they're afraid, but look at their flying height; it's not even a hundred meters, and their target is very clear."

"Haven't you noticed that from here, a distant mountain seems to connect with the sun?"
