Chapter 2343: Numerous Challenges! The Seals of the Celestial Palace!
Li Xuantu was dazed for a few moments, but he soon understood what Wang Chong meant.
The Heaven-Reaching Path was indestructible, at least from the outside. Heaven would not have left behind such a flaw like this. But things were completely different from the inside.
A tree would begin rotting from the inside first.
Though their goal was to get into the Celestial Palace, if they could trigger a chain reaction and use this passage to destroy the Celestial Palace, it would no longer matter that they couldn’t get in. The same could not be said for Heaven.
“I understand!” Li Xuantu said.
As he spoke, a dazzling Halo of Spacetime erupted, slamming against the sides of the passage. Unleashing his Stellar Energy, Li Xuantu viciously punched at the insides of the passage.
Wang Chong took the same action, though with much greater force.
Buzz!
In a flash of light, the three Divine Embryos also emerged from the halo divine tool.
“God-Executing Slash!”
“Ice-Sealed World!”
“Chaos Storm!”
“Supreme Buddha!”
Wang Chong immediately unleashed all of his ultimate techniques.
Rumble!
This enormous force immediately dealt a heavy blow to the Heaven-Reaching Path, the insides of the passage shuddering and groaning. Thump! Though the main branch of the path was unaffected, one of the side branches snapped off.
Moreover, the enormous and stable edifice of the Celestial Palace also began to shudder and groan.
“You would dare!” Heaven’s voice came from behind, brimming with rage, but his speed clearly slowed.
“Let’s go!”
Wang Chong didn’t let this chance go. Without the slightest hesitation, he unleashed his Stellar Energy and shot through the Heaven-Reaching Path like a comet.
No one understood more than him how frightening and powerful Heaven was.
At the moment, Heaven was simply afraid to strike the mouse for fear of breaking the vases. Their attacks were only sufficient to disrupt Heaven, but they couldn’t impede him too much. Once he recovered, they would have no chance of getting into the Celestial Palace.
More importantly, while attacking, Wang Chong had discovered that the seal imbued in the Heaven-Reaching Path was unimaginably powerful, fusing this passage together with the countless surrounding dimensions.
Destroying the Heaven-Reaching Path required destroying all of these countless dimensions.
This was simply impossible to accomplish.
Whoosh!
The sides of the passage rushed past Wang Chong as he hurtled into the depths.
A few moments later, an indistinct golden figure appeared where Wang Chong’s group had been earlier.
This golden body radiated destructive energy that made all who looked upon it seem like ants looking up at the gods.
This figure was none other than Heaven!
Compared to his appearance at the Turkic steppe, Heaven was clearly much stronger.
But at this moment, Heaven’s aura was restless.
“Impossible! How could he know about this passage?!”
Heaven found it hard to conceal the shock in his eyes.
He had been cultivating in the depths of spacetime, further refining the Pantheon Pearl. He had not expected something to happen to the Celestial Palace. Wang Chong, who had restrained himself and disappeared into the capital, had somehow found the Heaven-Reaching Path that led to the Celestial Palace.
The entire Celestial Palace was under his control, and in normal circumstances, no one would be able to enter without his permission.
What made Heaven even more cautious was that he was unable to fully utilize his power in the passage, while Wang Chong had nothing to fear.
Heaven was in an extremely passive position.
His true concern, however, was just how Wang Chong had managed to get in in the first place.
Countless thoughts ran through his mind, and a moment later, Heaven understood, his golden eyes slowly turning cold.
“Master Guangcheng, was it you? After so many years, We did not think that you would continue to oppose Us again and again!”
Not even the twelve Supremes knew the secret to entering the Celestial Palace. The only person who did was that one who had experienced that strange coincidence, Master Guangcheng.
“It seems that We did not punish you enough. Once this is all over, We will make sure that things between the two of us are fully understood, but this time, you won’t be so lucky! We will make it so that you never live on this world again!”
Heaven’s voice had a bone-chilling tone, but in a flash, he calmed down.
Bang!
A thick, green-black cloud gushed out of his body, swiftly transforming into a starry sky around Heaven. With a flick of his fingers, these countless stars fused into the sides of the passage.
Though Wang Chong’s attack hadn’t destroyed the Heaven-Reaching Path, it had still damaged it to a certain extent. The Celestial Palace was in a crucial phase, and letting this situation stand might set off a chain reaction with unpredictable consequences.
Though Heaven wanted to continue the pursuit, he was forced to prioritize the repairs.
And someone of Heaven’s strength didn’t need long to repair this passage.
“Flee! This is your choice. In the end, none of you will be leaving this place!”
Heaven glanced down the passage and then quickly put the matter aside.
This truly was the path leading to the Celestial Palace, but it was a path of no return.
Other than him, no one could enter this path and leave alive.
Buzz!
As Heaven applied his arts, his surroundings quieted down.
Farther down the passage, Wang Chong was advancing at full speed.
“How long do you think we can delay him?” Li Xuantu suddenly said, the danger of death following him like a shadow. Though he had been in danger many times before, this was the closest he had ever been to death.
Heaven had cut off their path of retreat, so it was too late for any regrets.
“Our strategy should have already taken effect. The insides of this passage are much more fragile than the outside, and Heaven can’t ignore it. But it won’t buy us that much time!” Wang Chong sternly said.
Every cell in his body was operating at full capacity.
Luo Supreme and Alpha Supreme had vanished into the depths of spacetime, so Wang Chong was no longer confident in his ability to deal with Heaven.
“All we can do is to use this time to break the insides of the Celestial Palace as quickly as possible…”
Suddenly, Wang Chong looked up, his heart thumping.
Li Xuantu also sensed something and looked up.
Rumble!
A thunderous rumbling was coming from above, and as Wang Chong and Li Xuantu stared in shock, roiling thunderclouds blocked their path.
A seal!
This giant thundercloud made the two of them scowl.
Though it was still far in the distance, they could sense pure destructive energy within it.
It was a vast sea of energy that could make anyone tremble in fear.
“What do we do?”
Li Xuantu emerged from the halo divine tool to stand next to Wang Chong, looking up with a scowl.
There was no doubt that Heaven had activated the seals within the Heaven-Reaching Path.
After all, this was Heaven’s personal ritual tool. It was impossible for it to not have any defenses.
The ideal situation was a smooth entry into the very heart of the Celestial Palace, but that was clearly not the reality they lived in.
“This seal contains enormous power, and it’s not that easy to destroy it. Even if we can break through it, it would require vast amounts of Stellar Energy, and that would be enough for Heaven to catch up to us,” Li Xuantu grimly said.
Wang Chong said nothing, but his heart was heavy.
He naturally understood what Li Xuantu was saying. Heaven had clearly calculated everything, which was why he had turned his attention to repairing the passage.
This lightning seal was the first challenge they had to face.
Wang Chong was considering even further than Li Xuantu. A powerful ritual tool like the Celestial Palace wouldn’t have just one seal protecting the passage. Even if they did everything they could to break through this seal, there would probably be a second, a third…
Even if they managed to get inside the Celestial Palace, they would probably be emptied of Stellar Energy and be unable to do anything.
At this time, Wang Chong finally understood why Master Guangcheng had advised them not to do this.
“Don’t worry! I have a way!” Wang Chong finally said after a few moments of thought.
He extended his right hand, and as Li Xuantu watched in shock, Wang Chong snapped his fingers, and a golden light appeared in his palm.
“This is…”
Li Xuantu frowned as he looked questioningly at Wang Chong.
Without a word, Wang Chong opened the seal around the golden light, and Li Xuantu immediately sensed a familiar energy.
“This is… Heaven’s aura!”
Li Xuantu trembled in shock.
Not only did the ball of light in Wang Chong’s palm have Heaven’s aura, it contained a sliver of his core energy.
But Li Xuantu couldn’t think of when Wang Chong could have had a chance to collect this wisp of energy.
Collecting a wisp of core energy from a powerful existence like Heaven was no easy task.
“The Sage Emperor left it behind!” Wang Chong tersely said.
During the matter of the true and false Sage Emperor, Heaven’s avatar had infiltrated the Imperial Palace and summoned Third Son Xuan’s consciousness from within the Sage Emperor’s body. But at that time, the Sage Emperor succeeded in collecting a strand of core energy and sealing it.
The Sage Emperor had left behind a detailed explanation for Wang Chong.
