Sacred Body of the Ancients from the Beginning-Chapter 552 - 550: One of the Seven Great Wonders, the Nineteenth Layer of Hell Star

Hell Star, can be said to be one of the most perilous trial lands on this Emperor's Road.

Among the celestial prodigies who survive and come out of it, less than one in ten survives.

Yet even so, countless celestial prodigies still flock to it.

Because on Hell Star, there's a chance to find Immortal Marrow, which can condense Immortal Aura.

Furthermore, if luck is on one's side and an Immortal Marrow Vein is found, it would be a heaven-defying opportunity, a chance to rise to prominence.

Of course, Immortal Marrow Veins are very rare and usually located deep within Hell Star, and if a lesser prodigy rashly ventures in, it would be tantamount to courting death.

"Next, I will tell you some rules about Hell Star. Listen carefully, and if your life isn't protected later, don't blame me," the Commander said.

"Hell Star has eighteen layers from the surface to the depths. However, besides these, there's an extra layer, the nineteenth layer, which you may have heard of," the Commander added.

"The nineteenth layer of Hell Star, could it be the legendary..." A celestial prodigy seemed to recall something, turning pale with fear.

"That's right, one of the Seven Great Wonders, the nineteenth layer of Hell Star, is definitely not a place for you to enter."

"However, in the past, the nineteenth layer of Hell Star generally remained closed, but this time, who knows."

The Commander's words made all the celestial prodigies in the venue look unprecedentedly serious.

"One of the Seven Great Wonders, the nineteenth layer of Hell Star..." Jun Xiaoyao murmured to himself.

At this moment, Jun Xiaoyao suddenly realized that the nineteenth layer in the Seven Great Wonders referred to the nineteenth layer of Hell Star.

As everyone knows, Hell has eighteen layers.

The nineteenth layer is all the more intriguing, with no one knowing what lies within.

Because those who entered never came out alive.

The Commander continued, "Don't even talk about the nineteenth layer. As long as you don't act recklessly and enter, you'll be fine."

"As for the other eighteen layers, each deeper layer will suppress ten percent of your abilities."

"For example, the first six layers suppress your flesh body. With every layer you descend, shackles of confinement will be placed on your flesh, suppressing ten percent of your power."

"By the time you reach the sixth layer, your flesh will have only forty percent of its power left."

"The following six layers restrict your mana in the same way, and by the time you reach the twelfth layer, your mana will also be reduced to forty percent."

"The final six layers suppress the Power of the Primordial Spirit, leaving only forty percent of it if you reach the eighteenth layer."

"In other words, if you reach the bottom layer, your overall abilities will be reduced to forty percent."

The Commander's words left all the celestial prodigies silent, swallowing hard.

"With only forty percent of our strength left, how can we fight?"

"Exactly, Hell Star is perilous enough, and with just forty percent strength, isn't it a death wish?"

Many celestial prodigies felt that it was no different from courting death.

"Who told you to go down to the eighteenth layer? If you're not strong enough, stick to the upper layers. If you're truly scared, you can quit," the Commander said coldly.

The celestial prodigies clenched their teeth, unwilling to give up.

Backtracking in fear would have a significant impact on their Dao Heart.

"Alas, probably only the Little Giants and the Jun Family's Divine Son have the qualifications to venture deep," some celestial prodigies whispered, glancing at Jun Xiaoyao.

They were curious whether Jun Xiaoyao had the ability to reach the eighteenth layer of Hell Star.

"Alright, prepare yourselves, it should open in a matter of days."

After the Commander finished speaking, he looked at Jun Xiaoyao, Jade Buddha Son, Void Swordsmen, and Third Prince of the Sea God, and then waved his hand, four streams of light falling towards them.

"What's this..." Jun Xiaoyao reached out to catch it and found it was a jade talisman.

"This jade talisman can resist the constraints of Hell Star's fields for a quarter of an hour."

"In other words, within this quarter of an hour, you can exert your full strength, no matter which layer you're on," the Commander explained.

"What, there's such a benefit?"

Upon hearing this, the other celestial prodigies' eyes shone with envy.

This jade talisman was practically a life-saving charm at critical moments.

"May I ask, Commander, where are our jade talismans?" a celestial prodigy asked respectfully.

"You?" The Commander glanced at him indifferently, "None."

"How can this be fair!" Many celestial prodigies cried out.

"If you have their talent, prowess, and family background, you can ask me. If not, don't bother me," the Commander said, waving his hand, ignoring them.

All the celestial prodigies were left looking grim.

This was the privilege of the elite class.

But they couldn't think of any argument to refute it.

The Third Prince of the Sea God is the Crown Prince of the Sea King Ancient Star Realm, and behind the Void Swordsmen is the renowned Void Sword Venerable, a Venerable Powerhouse.

Jade Buddha Son has the backing of the Immortal Ancient Teachings of Little Western Heaven.

As for Jun Xiaoyao...

No need to mention; he has the most illustrious background of all, with the support of two Ancient Desolate Families.

Which celestial prodigy here could compare to such a background?

And they didn't yet know that Jun Xiaoyao is the Master of the Imperial Court. If they knew, they would probably be even more astonished.

Jun Xiaoyao is the epitome of power and influence, and only he dared defy the rules of the Emperor's Road without anyone daring to question him.

"Damn elitism..." a celestial prodigy muttered, though powerless to resist.

This is the reality.

"To exert full strength for a quarter-hour, not bad at all."

Jun Xiaoyao was unceremonious, accepting it straight away.

All talk of fairness and justice is just for children.

It's foolish to pass up an advantage.

The following days were calm, with nothing noteworthy happening.

Jade Buddha Son and the others remained restrained, not troubling Jun Xiaoyao.

But clearly, once inside Hell Star, intense battles were sure to erupt.

Finally, after about seven or eight days.

In the distance, Hell Star trembled once again, various resentments, hatred, and other negative emotions boiled, as if turning into a substantive blood mist.

Even though the venue was a distance away from Hell Star, the celestial prodigies there could feel the shivering sensation.

At that moment, some celestial prodigies began to waver, contemplating retreat.

"Alright, the Teleportation Array will open, and once you step inside, you'll be randomly transported to different parts of Hell Star."

The Commander appeared, activating the venue's Teleportation Array.

Jun Xiaoyao, Mu Yuehan, Golden-Winged Roc King, and the others appeared.

Jade Buddha Son, Void Swordsmen, and others also appeared.

The Third Prince of the Sea God cast a vulture-like gaze, coldly glancing at Jun Xiaoyao.

Jun Xiaoyao remained calm as ever, ignoring any stare.

"Let's go." Jun Xiaoyao took a step forward, being the first to enter the Teleportation Array.

Like a chain reaction, the other celestial prodigies followed, stepping into the Teleportation Array.

Jin Gu Xuan, Qing Hong, Hong Ling, and a black-robed, cloaked person also stepped in.

Of course, not all celestial prodigies had the courage; some chose to stay behind.

Even the Nine-headed Lion and Kong Xuan were left behind, not entering Hell Star.

"Master, make sure that long-haired bald dude learns his place!" the Nine-headed Lion roared.

"Impossible, my Buddha Son is the true invincible one!" Kong Xuan retorted.
