Chapter 1023 - The Star Emperor’s Palace (1/2)

The Petrification Cult elder was completely stunned. Just a moment ago, he was domineering and condescending; now, he could not utter a single word.

Pei Fengwu was also stunned. Hadn’t Mo Wen just broken through to the Primordial Soul Realm? How was it possible?

Swoosh!

The black-robed elder did not dare to say anything anymore. Intending to flee, he promptly leaped down into the abyss. That youth was too frightening. What exactly was his level of cultivation? Even Elder Shao was not so frightening.

“Trying to escape?”

Mo Wen laughed sinisterly. His deified soul expanded outwards. An area with the radius of a few thousand miles was enveloped in his deified soul. The entire fifth level was completely covered. Did a small Primordial Soul Realm cultivator try to escape from him? In his dreams.

Mo Wen reached the edge of the abyss in one step and swept a glance at the situation below. The underground abyss still had a frightening gale blowing in it. Even a Golden Elixir Realm cultivator would not dare to face the onslaught from the gale head-on. Back then, when Mo Wen descended to the bottom of the deep abyss, it was with the help of Yin Banshuang leading the way that he reached the bottom startled but unharmed.

However, for the present Mo Wen, the gale in the deep abyss was no different from an ordinary wind.

“Let’s go down. That old thing cannot get away.” Mo Wen dragged Pei Fengwu as he leaped down. Everywhere he passed, the gale that had been blowing for tens of thousands of years completely disappeared. An area with a radius of a thousand meters became a true vacuum.

Pei Fengwu looked at Mo Wen in astonishment. A natural force of the world could actually be forcefully changed by the act of one man. Exactly what realm was Mo Wen at?

Although she did not fear the gale in the underground abyss and could get past it with some caution, instantly dissipating the gale into nothingness like what Mo Wen did was practically unthinkable for her.

Mo Wen’s deified soul had been locked onto the black-robed elder all this while. No matter how the old fellow flew and ran, he could not escape Mo Wen’s eyes.

“Huh?”

Mo Wen suddenly frowned. He discovered that the elder was running toward the lair of the Xuan Ming Shielded Tortoise. The place containing the Star Emperor’s palace was hidden there. Could it be that the elder had discovered something?

Mo Wen followed the person expressionlessly. He was suddenly not too anxious to capture him. Instead, he wanted to see what this person was attempting to do.

Two silhouettes flew into the Xuan Ming Shielded Tortoise’s lair, one after the other. They had not flown very far when Mo Wen discovered that the Xuan Ming Shielded Tortoise’s huge body was lying on the ground. It had already lost its life aura.

The Xuan Ming Shielded Tortoise was an ancient demonic beast that was comparable to the Beast King level. It might not have the attack power of a Beast King, but its defense far surpassed that of an ordinary Beast King. Ordinary Martial Arts Grandmasters did not have any ability to kill the Xuan Ming Shielded Tortoise.

Also, from the look of its corpse, Mo Wen could tell that the Xuan Ming Shielded Tortoise was killed in one blow. For someone to be able to do that, they needed to be at least at the level of an Infinite Powerhouse.

Interesting!

Mo Wen touched his chin. He discovered that the black-robed elder leaped into the waterhole deep within the cave, as though he was very familiar with the area. They had clearly discovered the Star Emperor’s palace.

“Where did he disappear to?” Pei Fengwu looked around the Xuan Ming Shielded Tortoise’s lair quizzically. There were no signs of destruction in the surrounding area an no other escape routes were present. Could it be that the member of the Petrification Cult had vanished into thin air?

“He is down there.”

Mo Wen pointed downwards at the chilly waterhole and calmly said, “Let’s head down.”

Before Pei Fengwu could respond, Mo Wen dragged her down with him into the waterhole.

Immediately, a vibration swept over them, as though the air was shaking. The heavens and earth spun around and darkness enveloped them. When there was light again, Pei Fengwu discovered that, to her surprise, they were in a foreign world.

“Ancient ruin!”

Pei Fengwu had seen many things before. She immediately noticed that the place was an ancient ruin. It was also a different dimension.

“This is the Star Emperor’s palace,” Mo Wen stated.

Of course, Pei Fengwu did not know who the Star Emperor was. There were so many heroic figures in history. She only knew a few of the most famous ones. Although the Star Emperor was very famous during the Middle Age, he was not among those at the very pinnacle of fame. Hence, his name could not be found in ordinary history books.

“This place is very unstable.” Pei Fengwu raised her eyebrows. She could sense that the place was rather dangerous and could collapse at any given moment. Once it collapses, both she and Mo Wen would most likely perish in there.

Mo Wen ignored her and walked towards the Star Emperor’s palace. A look of joy appeared in his eyes.
