Chapter 689 - Black Gourd (2/2)
However…
What made Paragon Emperor Xu helpless was that he could not lift that stone door.
‘Entering the Shrine, I have to walk step by step to the stone door and lift it. Only then will I see the steps of the legend… reaching the peak of the step represented the achievement of the ultimate goal–the Black Gourd.’ Emperor Xu stood by a porch within his palace, looking at that Ancient Shrine within the region of his palace. Paragon Emperor Xu’s eyes were filled with desire, ‘As long as I got this Black Gourd, I’ll be able to obtain the ultimate strength and truly leave this world into the more bigger Cosmos.’
Reaching this stage, he was clear that this enormous world was just a small recess in the cosmos.
‘But it seems our epoch is too weak, with none being able to lift that stone door, much less stepping on the stairs.’ Paragon Emperor Xu shook his head inwardly.
“Hong long long~”
A booming sound came transmitting from the distant Ancient Shrine.
Paragon Emperor Xu’s senses were very acute. He discovered beforehand from the waves coming via void, causing his expression to change: ‘What is happening? What happened to the Ancient Shrine?’
“Sou.”
He turned into a stream of light, rushing over to the entrance of the Ancient Shrine a few ten thousand kilometers away. After all, he was living close to this location.
“This…” Paragon Emperor Xu was shocked as he watched the scene–a black-robed teenager turned into a giant with a divine sword on his back was currently propping the stone door up. The stone door was moving upwards with booming sounds. That black-robed teenager’s powerful body had emitted an aura causing a shockwave that rushed out towards the entire hall, causing the hall to keep booming.
The eyes of Paragon Emperor Xu dilated. From the aura emitted by the other party’s body, he understood that it was overwhelmingly powerful and immeasurable!
Furthermore…
‘He lifted the stone door?’ Paragon Emperor Xu was genuinely alarmed because none was able to do so in this epoch. That stone door was too heavy.
‘He is Guest Elder Flying Snow?’ Paragon Emperor Xu had long gotten the intelligence reports on anything regarding ‘Guest Elder Flying Snow’. He could recognize him immediately.

At that moment when Xue Ying lifted the door open, the stone door had been lifted beyond his head, allowing him to see the scene behind the spatial ripples. Behind the stone door was an even bigger hall. At the center of the hall was a series of stone steps that led directly upwards. At the highest point, there was a Black Gourd.
This Black Gourd was only 0.33 meters high.
The current Black Gourd was vaguely glowing in crimson, releasing a terrifying temperature with it at the core of it. As the heat spread out, it distorted space and formed white fog at further distances. A large section of the entire gray hall was rolling in white fog, with the closer area filled with distorted space.
And now, Xue Ying was not suffering from any obstruction from the spatial ripple, though just watching that Black Gourd made Xue Ying feel fear and alarm in his heart.
This fear and alarm were flourishing without control.
It was an overwhelming gap in levels.
‘What is that plaything?’ Xue Ying felt that this was the most terrifying thing he had ever seen.
Despite seeing that Black Gourd, Xue Ying was maintained alert all the while. When Paragon Emperor Xu came closer to the Ancient Shrine entrance at high speed, Xue Ying naturally felt that undulation, causing him to turn over and have a look. It seemed that a silver-haired old man was standing by the door at the outer perimeter. He had a startled expression.
“Hong–”
Xue Ying finally lifted the entire stone door up. Once it reached the highest point, it got stuck.
At the same time, the spatial ripple naturally dispersed away.
“Hu.”
At that moment, the white fog from within the large hall came rushing out, slightly staggering Xue Ying. The temperature of the surrounding was rising rapidly, and in a moment, it reached a warmth that could match the surface of the Sun Star.
