Chapter 1074: Dark Maxim Palace

In the depths of the Devil World was a mountain that stood tall. It was not particularly towering or large, but it still gave the feeling that it was suppressing the heavens. Even gods and devils would retreat before its grandeur.

There was a palace at the summit. It was completely black and made from unknown rocks, giving it a very mysterious feel.

There were no luxurious decorations or immortal lights that soared into the sky. It could even be said that the palace was rather coarse and unadorned. The black pebbles acting as the foundation for the palace weren’t polished, making it seem that they were found and built on-site.

However, such a seemingly simple palace gave off a suffocating pressure. Anyone who gazed at its presence on top of the mountain would feel this oppression.

The gate to this palace was forever locked, so no knew who was staying inside.

Dark Maxim Palace! This was the most mysterious place in the Devil World. The majority of the dark cultivators here didn’t dare to come close to it.

Legend states that this palace used to be the location where the master of the Devil World gave orders to all of its inhabitants. Later on, it was also the gathering place of Devil Kings. However, newcomers hadn’t seen the opening of the palace yet. No one knew the situation or what was inside.

There were many cultivators at the base of this mountain right now. They wanted to try climbing to the top.

There were rumors that the Dark Maxim Palace contained the Devil World’s ultimate treasures and weapons. These weapons were even above Immortal Emperor True Treasures.

A tale claimed that as long as one could open the palace, they would be able to obtain the spoils inside.

Since the opening of the Lesser Imperial Devil World, a large group of people had come and tried, but they couldn’t even climb to the top. Those who were able to still couldn’t open the palace. There was no lack of God-Monarchs among them either.

At this time, the spectators were quite excited at the base of the mountain because the current climber was Jikong Wudi. They wanted to see if he would be able to open the Dark Maxim Palace or not.

Outside of the many experts, even Heavenly Emperor Lin, Zhan Shi, and the Jewel Pillar Mortal King were here.

Before Jikong Wudi, they had climbed to the top but failed to open the palace. However, this was not a shameful matter to them because there were no records of anyone having succeeded before.

“Thump! Clank! Thump!” Different sounds rang from the summit. Jikong Wudi activated different types of peerless methods to try and tap on the gate of the palace. However, regardless of his knocking, the palace remained closed.

Eventually, Jikong Wudi also gave up and descended from the mountain. He accepted his inability to open this palace.

No one mocked his failure due to the history of the inaccessible palace. It was not at all surprising for Jikong Wudi to fail.

“The real masters have all tried. I’m afraid this palace cannot be opened by anyone.” Someone murmured.

“Maybe one person can.” His friend added: “Fiercest might be able to. He is an unfathomable person, even climbing the Prime Peak back at the Godwar Mountain. Maybe he will create another miracle and open the Dark Maxim Palace.”

The mentioning of his title alone caused many people’s expressions to change.

Another quietly spoke: “I heard Fiercest has turned into a Devil King. I wonder if he will come here or not.”

When the title Fiercest was brought up, many people here turned quite unhappy. The first to show a visible shift in demeanor was the Mortal King. His enmity towards Li Qiye was quite immense. Jikong Wudi’s expression turned cold as well.

Zhan Shi and Heavenly Emperor Lin, on the other hand, were fine with it. Zhan Shi’s expression remained aloof while Lin was as nonchalant and comfortable as ever.

“Even Fiercest will not be able to open the Dark Maxim Palace.” The Mortal King coldly uttered with an oppressive momentum that soared to the sky. Anyone would be wary of him at this moment.

His battle intent was surging as he entered a peak state like a War God ready to enter a life or death match. It was a very suffocating aura.
