Chapter 2354 - Destiny Experimental Body 4! (1/2)

Chapter 2354: Destiny Experimental Body 4!

With a massive boom, the earth trembled. The terrifying Sword Qi tore open a giant fissure nearly ten thousand feet long in the sturdy ground of the third region. The surging Sword Qi even pierced into the depths of the Celestial Palace, causing it to shudder. Some of the glass tiles even toppled off the palaces on the perimeter.

Even more frightening was that after this terrifying energy was unleashed, even more energy converged from the seal behind the Qin First Emperor, and the Sword Qi appeared once more.

From this, one could conclude that the attack just now had used only a small portion of the First Emperor’s remaining power, not even ten percent of it.

“The Sword Qi reacted, but the seal didn’t,” Li Xuantu loudly called out, a sharp glint in his eyes. “The Qin First Emperor’s goal was not to kill people, but to protect whatever is behind him. There’s a problem with the Celestial Palace, and the Qin First Emperor must be guarding something inside.”

The Qin First Emperor’s Sword Qi was frightening, but even when the Sword Qi was at its strongest, it was still protecting the path leading deeper into the Celestial Palace.

They would have to break through the Qin First Emperor’s seal to go any farther.

When entering the Celestial Palace, they had only thought about dealing with any possible attack from Heaven. They had never even predicted that they would have to deal with the Qin First Emperor.

“Master, what’s going on here? Why did the Qin First Emperor become a guardian of the Celestial Palace? Did Heaven manage to control him?”

Little Nightmare appeared rather anxious.

The Qin First Emperor was extremely powerful. They had only passed by this place out of curiosity, never expecting this development. If they couldn’t break through the First Emperor’s barrier, they would not be able to access the deeper parts of the Celestial Palace.

Wang Chong shook his head and immediately rejected the idea. “No, the Qin First Emperor isn’t under Heaven’s control. This is his own will.

“In addition, if Heaven wanted to put down a seal, he wouldn’t go through the trouble of using an intermediary.”

“So why, then? If the Qin First Emperor’s death here was Heaven’s doing, his enemy should be Heaven, not us. Why stop us? And what could be inside the Celestial Palace that’s worth him protecting?” Li Xuantu said.

The Qin First Emperor was more frightening than they had imagined. If they couldn’t resolve this problem, they wouldn’t be able to make any progress.

Besides that, Li Xuantu could clearly tell that the Qin First Emperor’s power was still gathering. This meant that his attacks would only get stronger and stronger.

Li Xuantu felt like he was no weakling, but not even he was sure that he could break through the seal left by this sovereign from one thousand years ago.

Wang Chong could also sense that energy was gathering. Though he was just standing there, he could feel that invisible pressure growing heavier and heavier.

That sword attack just now could be considered a probe. Wang Chong sensed that a massive battle was about to erupt.

Just when Wang Chong was about to do battle with the Qin First Emperor to break through, a voice rang out in his mind!

Buzz!

“Special Event! Destiny Experimental Body 4 has been discovered! User has been rewarded with 800,000 points of Destiny Energy.

“Scanning—Destiny Experimental Body 4 failed… The Destiny Shard within the body has been seized. Stone of Destiny Repair Plan failed.

“Notice! Remnant energy discovered within Destiny Experimental Body 4 that can be integrated!”

Bang!

Wang Chong had a few vague ideas, but these words verified these theories and set off a storm in his mind.

Destiny Experimental Body 4?

Seized?

Wang Chong had never imagined that this would be the truth!

The Stone of Destiny had ten experimental bodies in all, and the mighty Qin First Emperor who was known as the ancestral dragon of all Emperors was actually one of them.

In other words, just like Wang Chong and the Sage Emperor, he was also a transmigrator.

Wang Chong found it difficult to calm down after hearing this earthshaking news.

The Stone of Destiny! The Stone of Destiny!

Wang Chong was finally sure that Heaven had gone to such great lengths to lure these people here to get their Stones of Destiny.

If the Qin First Emperor had been lured by Heaven through Xu Fu, then Heaven had most likely been trying to do the same thing to Emperor Wu of Han. But compared to his predecessor from several hundred years ago, Emperor Wu was clearly more cautious.

The Fengshan ceremonies were clearly not enough to motivate him, and while the green bird’s message had tempted him, he was not completely taken. Thus, he had sent Huo Qubing, this young Great General that he trusted so much. Alas, Huo Qubing had failed to return, dying within the Celestial Palace.

The two renowned Emperors happened to both be Destiny Bodies and also transmigrators. This fact left Wang Chong deeply shaken.

Why?

Wang Chong still found it difficult to determine whether this was a coincidence or intentional.
