Chapter 340.2 (1/2)

The Inheritance of The Emperor’s Star

The aura turned into a gale which blew towards Ning Fan as if it was trying to test him.

When the gust of strong wind approached him, the purple star in his left eye flickered and immediately, the incoming wind split into two and parted for him.

“Precisely. I’m here to fulfill my promise and obtain the emperor’s star. Marshal Lu, please open the palace gates!”

Ning Fan's tone was neither humble nor arrogant. With a swing of his hand, he kept the scroll painting and patted his storage pouch again to take out a black chess piece.

Within the giant palace, Lu Wu sensed that Ning Fan had actually blocked his aura force with the power of his ancestral blood. To him, it was a little shocking.

A Mid Divine Transformation Realm cultivator can actually block my aura force... This young man is not weak…

When he noticed the black chess piece in Ning Fan’s hands, his eyes glinted with surprise.

“You have already obtained the approval of Lord Celestial Emperor!”

Ning Fan might not know what the black chess piece actually meant, but Lu Wu did.

In the year before he had gone into slumber, he had once passed a key to Lu Daochen. The key, however, was just the first step in obtaining the inheritance of the emperor’s star.

The second step was to use the key to unlock the remnant trace of intent that was left by the Celestial Emperor in the Star Palace and obtain his approval.

As for the third step, it was to use this black chess piece to comprehend the power of the Celestial Emperor’s Black Star!

Since Ning Fan was able to get this black chess piece, he undoubtedly had already obtained the approval from the remaining intent of the Celestial Emperor. That is to say, he certainly was eligible to acquire the inheritance of the emperor’s star!

There was no need for other tests anymore!

Nearly at the same moment, Lu Wu was ready to open the gate of the Cloud Palace. But when his gaze fell on the female corpse behind Ning Fan, an even more tremendous feeling of shock filled him, making him suddenly forget about the gate.

“Princess!”

Within the giant palace, the giant beast lay on the ground with his white fur hanging down. His appearance looked old and his eyes were dim but his facial expression was as calm as a quiet pond.

However, just as he saw the female corpse, his eyes shot out the light of excitement. He had never thought that he, Lu Wu, would be able to meet the Princess again 150 million years after the destruction of the Heavenly Court.

When the Heavenly Court was destroyed, Lu Wu was deprived of all his memories, Just like the other survivors.

Even so, he still remembered the Celestial Emperor and the Princess!

Originally, he was only surprised by the fact that Ning Fan possessed ancestral blood. At this moment, however, he was astonished at the appearance of the princess by Ning Fan’s side. He could not understand why a Divine Transformation Realm young man would be travelling together with the Princess.

All of a sudden, Lu Wu seemed to see an illusion.

At this moment, the young man standing outside the Cloud Palace was not an expert who possessed ancestral blood but … a butterfly, a butterfly which he had seen many times in the Heavenly Court!

*Bang*

The light of the killing formation around the Cloud Palace turned dimmer and with a loud bang, a giant gate burst open.

“So your name is Lu Bei. You may enter the palace to accept the inheritance of the emperor’s star. But the others shall stay outside for the time being… The Celestial Emperor established an immortal formation on this palace. Other than the person who possesses the ‘Celestial Emperor Chess Piece’, no one is able to come in unless they have Immortal Emperor Realm cultivation base… There is a black chess piece in your hand, while I have a white chess piece in mine… You, come in!”

Lu Wu opened the giant gate of the Cloud Palace, but this giant gate could only allow Ning Fan to enter.

Leaving all the women waiting outside, Ning Fan made a step forward and turned into a trace of purple mist, flowing into the Cloud Palace.

Holding the black chess piece in his hand, Ning Fan had a feeling that he could be immune to all the attacks and traps in the Cloud Palace with it.

Therefore, he was not worried about being attacked by Lu Wu or any other changes which would get him into trouble when he went inside.

Within the Cloud Palace, no light was able to penetrate inside and there were no torches at all. The atmosphere within was dark like a lightless cellar.

In the vast and seemingly boundless palace, echoes of Ning Fan’s footsteps could be heard from time to time.

Without knowing how long he had walked, Ning Fan came to a halt. Even though the place in front of him was complete darkness, he managed to see through it with his Fu Li Eye.
