Chapter 1134: Great Calamity (Second update, requesting everything)

When approaching Ziwei Palace, Li Zhangsheng took out the Ten-Grade Star Palace Lotus Platform and the Nine Heavens Clear Qi Pagoda.

Both of these could potentially be keys to Ziwei Palace, so Li Zhangsheng simply took them both out.

It was also at this moment that the Ten-Grade Star Palace Lotus Platform suddenly shot out a brilliant beam of starlight, which struck the main gate of Ziwei Palace.

The next moment, the main gate of Ziwei Palace slowly swung open, and along with it, a gap appeared in the Restriction outside the gate.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Zhangsheng immediately rushed into Ziwei Palace.

After he entered Ziwei Palace, the gap in the Restriction instantly sealed shut.

Soon, the furious King of Natural Disasters rushed over, but no matter how he attacked Ziwei Palace, he could not open the Restriction and could only rage impotently outside.

"I don't believe he will stay in Ziwei Palace forever!"

The King of Natural Disasters said viciously, directly deciding to wait for the rabbit by the tree, blocking the entrance and refusing to leave; based on his understanding of the Star Palace, the space within Ziwei Palace was nearly solidified, making teleportation impossible.

Unless there was a teleportation mechanism inside Ziwei Palace, the main gate was the only way to leave.

It must be mentioned here that due to the Restriction, although the main gate of Ziwei Palace was in an open state, the King of Natural Disasters could not see the scene inside Ziwei Palace at all.

The moment he stepped into Ziwei Palace, Li Zhangsheng immediately transformed into his human form and instantly armed himself to the teeth.

Li Zhangsheng stood upon the Ten-Grade Star Palace Lotus Platform, with the Hunyuan Golden Lamp above his head, the Blessing Necklace around his neck, wearing the Ancestral Dragon Scale Armor, grasping the Zining Cauldron and the Blue Light Tripod in his hands, while the Biluohuangquan Twin Swords floated up and down before him; he was surrounded by auspicious light and looked heroic, like a celestial being.

However, Li Zhangsheng's actions were all superfluous.

After entering Ziwei Palace, he did not encounter any attacks.

Only then did Li Zhangsheng begin to examine Ziwei Palace.

The first impression was that it was large, far larger than what was seen from the outside; clearly, the interior of Ziwei Palace utilized the technique of "storing Mount Sumeru within a mustard seed."

The second impression was that it was empty; there was almost nothing to be seen.

Li Zhangsheng looked around for a long while and discovered that a large number of murals were carved on the four walls.

These murals were extremely realistic, without a single abstract depiction.

After taking a few glances, Li Zhangsheng discovered that these murals depicted the Heaven and Earth Hegemony of the ancient era.

Legend has it that in the ancient era, the world was far less vast than it is now, and there were only four imperial thrones between heaven and earth.

During the period of the Heaven and Earth Hegemony, the Three Emperors and one Empress were supreme; they were the Heavenly Emperor, the Star Emperor, the Xuan Emperor, and the Xuan Empress.

Among them, the Heavenly Emperor and the Star Emperor occupied the Heavenly Realm, while the Xuan Emperor and the Xuan Empress were a couple who occupied the human world.

At first, both sides minded their own business and restrained their subordinates, but for some reason, the two sides began to fight fiercely, spiraling out of control and eventually triggering the Great Calamity known as the Heaven and Earth Hegemony.

Li Zhangsheng silently watched the murals one by one, gradually deepening his understanding of this Great Calamity.

Judging from the content of the murals, originally neither side could do anything to the other, but the Xuan Emperor's side somehow persuaded the Dragon Clan, causing the balance of power to tilt.

The Heavenly Emperor and Star Emperor's side began to retreat steadily, eventually withdrawing to the Heavenly Realm and relying on the Zhou Tian Star Dou Forbidden Array to defend themselves.

The Xuan Emperor and Xuan Empress naturally could not give up the opportunity to unify heaven and earth, so even though they were extremely wary of the Zhou Tian Star Dou Forbidden Array, they still chose to face the difficulty head-on.

Both sides fought fiercely in the Heavenly Realm, but the final result was mutual destruction; the Heavenly Emperor, the Star Emperor, and the Xuan Empress fell, leaving only the Xuan Emperor alive, though he also suffered irreversible injuries.

Additionally, before the Heavenly Emperor fell, he forcibly used the Zhou Tian Star Dou Forbidden Array to seal the Heavenly Realm, causing the Heavenly Realm to never emerge.

"Why did they start fighting?"

After finishing these murals, Li Zhangsheng was full of doubts; logically speaking, these four were already at the pinnacle of the human world, and there was absolutely no need to trigger such a great conflict, even to the point of sacrificing their lives for it.

What is certain is that there must be a great secret involved, otherwise, it would not have led the Three Emperors and one Empress to fight to the death.

At this time, Li Zhangsheng arrived at the depths of Ziwei Palace.

There were nine steps here, each of which was very large, as if prepared for a Giant.

At the end of the steps was a throne, and upon it was not the so-called remains of the Star Emperor, but merely a Purple Crown, an Inheritance Jade Slip, and the Ziwei Star Banner.

If nothing went wrong, that Inheritance Jade Slip should contain the Star Emperor's memory inheritance.

Seeing these three items, Li Zhangsheng frowned slightly; if there were only these three items, it would inevitably make him a little disappointed, as these three items were completely within his expectations.

Li Zhangsheng shook his head and prepared to retrieve the three items.

But just as Li Zhangsheng was about to step onto the first step, the scene before his eyes suddenly changed.

At this moment, Li Zhangsheng felt as if he were in the starry sky, where he could see the stars in the sky vying for beauty.

"A Forbidden Array!"

Li Zhangsheng's expression changed slightly, and he immediately understood his situation; he forced himself to calm down and began to observe this Forbidden Array.

This Forbidden Array had three nodes, and each node had condensed its own representative pattern.

"Seven Killings, Army Breaker, Greedy Wolf!"

Li Zhangsheng recognized it at a glance; this was a Forbidden Array closely related to the Kill-Army-Wolf Constellation.

Although this was the first time Li Zhangsheng had seen such a Forbidden Array, based on his observations, whether in terms of strength or profoundness, this Forbidden Array had a significant gap compared to the Hunyuan Heluo Forbidden Array.

For Li Zhangsheng, breaking this Forbidden Array was not very difficult.

At this time, the Forbidden Array began to operate, and with a Star Shift, a giant wolf condensed from star power pounced toward him.

Li Zhangsheng sat on the Ten-Grade Star Palace Lotus Platform without moving, letting the giant wolf crash into the Star Light Membrane.

The giant wolf shattered instantly, and the Star Light Membrane merely rippled slightly, remaining unbreakable.

As a Strange Treasure specializing in defense, the defense of the Ten-Grade Star Palace Lotus Platform far exceeded that of the Hunyuan Golden Lamp.

Li Zhangsheng did not use brute force to break the Forbidden Array; he held the Heavenly Secret Stone in his left hand and supported the Baxia Turtle Shell with his right, beginning to observe the operation of this Forbidden Array.

Although this Forbidden Array was far less profound than the Hunyuan Heluo Forbidden Array, they were closely related; Li Zhangsheng discovered that as long as he thoroughly understood this Forbidden Array, it could also have a certain promoting effect on the "Zhou Tian Star Dou Demon-Controlling Art."

With no danger to his life, he did not mind spending more time observing.

After half an hour, Li Zhangsheng did not continue to comprehend; it was not that he did not want to, but after half an hour of observation, he had already figured out the operating principle of this Forbidden Array.

The reason for such speed was mainly related to the Seeking Dao Jade Pendant, which gave his comprehension ability an exaggerated boost.

Li Zhangsheng did not use brute force to break the Forbidden Array, but instead moved quickly within it; before long, he found the eye of the array and was stunned to discover a treasure floating at the array eye.
