Chapter 133: Karma Fire Ancient Palace

"That actually turns out to be a Green-Scaled Golden-Patterned Python."

Its thick and long body was like a sprawling mountain range, with green scales tightly embedded one after another, and it was born with strange golden patterns.

This was a very powerful Pure-blooded Creature, yet it ended up dying miserably here.

The flames emerging from the ground were calcining it, and presumably, it would not be long before it was burned until not even bones remained.

Furthermore, there were some fragments of precious artifacts, as well as human severed limbs and the corpses of various creatures, all being calcined by the flames on the ground; they had all died in battle here.

For a time, this place was filled with a deathly aura, and as those many corpses were burned, they emitted a foul stench.

The place remained as flat as a plain; apart from the towering Ancient Palace that came into view ahead, it was boundless, and looking out, the path ahead was entirely covered by churning magma.

"Everyone, attack together! Someone has already walked ahead to the Ancient Palace."

Following a shout from a creature, many creatures surged forward in a frenzy.

Mengchen and the others also took advantage of the momentum to surge forward within the crowd. Very quickly, they flew to a spot not far from the Ancient Palace. The grandeur of this Ancient Palace was indescribable; it reached deep into the high Heaven, its entire body burning with endless firelight, radiating an extremely terrifying high temperature.

By the time everyone arrived, the place had instead become peaceful, with no slaughter. The creatures who had arrived early gathered in heaps, all gazing intently at the Karma Fire Ancient Palace.

Clearly, there must have been something that blocked their path forward, causing them to stop and watch, not daring to rashly move forward.

Mengchen looked on intently. After some sensing, apart from the terrifying high temperature, he did not discover any murderous intent.

"Karma Fire Ancient Palace! This is the Karma Fire Ancient Palace! This is a Dao Field of the Ten Fiends, the Zhenhuang, from the ancient era." At this moment, someone shouted in alarm from far behind.

"Karma Fire Ancient Palace? This is the Zhenhuang Dao Field?" Mengchen looked back and saw that it was a middle-aged human, who was also at the Mingwen Jing.

At this cry of alarm, all the creatures turned their heads with looks of surprise. Clearly, they were hearing the name Karma Fire Ancient Palace for the first time, let alone that this Ancient Palace could be the Dao Field of the Ten Fiends, the Zhenhuang.

A creature asked, "Fellow Daoist? Where did you learn of this!"

"To tell you the truth, the ancient city everyone saw outside the secret realm was once the capital of my Phoenix Kingdom. It was only later that the empire declined until it headed toward destruction, and I am a descendant of the imperial family of that empire. Our empire passed down a scroll through the generations, which recorded the Karma Fire Ancient Palace and some deeds of the Ten Fiends, the Zhenhuang, from back then. Such secrets are naturally unknown to outsiders like you," the man said very proudly.

Subsequently, the man told many more obscure pieces of information.

All the creatures listened very attentively, and the greed in their eyes became hard to suppress. The Ancient Palace before them was the Zhenhuang Dao Field, one of the Ten Fiends! Perhaps they could obtain the legendary Zhenhuang Precious Technique from within.

Mengchen, Tianhu Shaonü, Yuechan, Xiyao, and Heizi, after they all finished listening, also had brilliant lights flickering in their eyes.

Very clearly, they all wanted to obtain the Zhenhuang Precious Technique.

"Fellow Daoist, come, come!" After the story and information were finished, a creature beckoned the man to come forward. It was an Ink Jade Lion, powerful in strength, and a Venerable.

The man walked forward with a proud face, but what he did not expect was that when he approached the Ink Jade Lion, he was suddenly picked up and thrown into the Ancient Palace.

"Ah... Boom!" The man screamed and smashed heavily onto the bluestone floor of the Ancient Palace.

The flames that filled the Ancient Palace, however, did not harm the man.

"I kindly informed you of the secrets... you actually treat me like this; has your conscience been eaten by a dog?" the man accused.

"This person is truly hard to describe in a word! His mind is actually so simple," Mengchen muttered to himself.

The Ink Jade Lion ignored the man's accusations. Seeing that the flames were harmless for a moment, it took the lead, intending to rush into the Ancient Palace. Other powerful creatures, seeing this, were naturally not willing to fall behind.

For a time, those rushing at the very front were all Venerable-level experts. Their movement techniques were extremely fast, and under the pressure of their vigorous aura, creatures of lower realms found it difficult to keep up.

"Ah..., ahhh..." Suddenly, screams rang out incessantly.

"Sss, sss, sss..."

In just a single instant, nearly a hundred Venerable experts, including the Ink Jade Lion, were instantly enveloped by the flames. After the screams, they were burned until not even bones remained.

"How is this possible..." The group of Venerables about to enter the great hall were all frightened, and they retreated rapidly.

They were puzzled: the man thrown in earlier was fine, so how did the flames suddenly surge and instantly annihilate nearly a hundred Venerables?

For a time, all the creatures outside the Ancient Palace, including Mengchen and the others, were all terrified and in disbelief, feeling fortunate that they had not rushed to the very front, otherwise, it would have been them who died. The man who had been thrown in was now even more frightened and collapsed to the ground; nearly a hundred Venerables had vanished in an instant before his eyes—what a terrifying scene this was.

"Ah..., ah..." The man shouted and yelled, his mind having suffered a very great blow.

"Hehe..., hehe..." A moment later, the shocked man suddenly began to giggle foolishly. After getting up, he walked deep into the Ancient Palace, giggling foolishly as if his soul had been stolen, and disappeared from sight.

"Is he... scared out of his mind?" Tianhu Shaonü whispered in horror.

"Probably so!" Mengchen said in a low voice. That previous moment was indeed terrifying enough; those with weak minds truly could not endure it.

"You! Go in and try."

However, just at this moment, a creature behind pushed Mengchen, wanting him to enter the Ancient Palace.

Mengchen looked back. This was a humanoid creature with bull horns on its head, looking burly and thick, with dark skin and a very rough face. He was a powerhouse of the Array Formation Realm.

Seeing Mengchen turn his eyes to look, he said with a fierce and malicious expression: "What are you looking at? Did you hear me? I'm talking about you, go in and try."

He felt that Mengchen was a human youth, not very old, and his realm was only at the Mingwen Jing, and there were no powerful companions by his side, so he felt he was easy to bully.

Mengchen looked on calmly and did not make any indication for a time.

His silence naturally caused other creatures to join in. Following that, another human male cultivator coldly shouted: "If you look again, I will dig out your eyeballs. I'm talking to you; if you don't want to die, hurry up and go try."

"What are you dogs barking about? If you want to go, just go yourselves," Mengchen whispered.

"Heh... fine, fine, fine, sss..."

The human cultivator sneered and slashed out a sword Qi, striking toward Mengchen, wanting to force him to move forward, to make him scout the path and try to figure out the reason why the Venerables died while the man earlier was safe and sound.

"Daring to attack me! Do you want to die?" After dodging, Mengchen's gaze suddenly turned cold and stern, fixing on the human cultivator who had attacked him.

This was a young man in his early twenties with decent talent, having already reached the level of the Array Formation Realm.

"Ignorant thing, daring to speak to me like this." The young man's gaze became cold and sharp. With just this glare, two purple electric beams were emitted from his cold eyes to attack.

"Hmph! Fine, since you want to go so much, I will fulfill your wish."

Having said that, two golden electric beams also flew from Mengchen's eyes, instantly sweeping away the young man's purple electric beams. He stared at him, and then eleven Cave Heavens opened in an instant, exerting a power of confinement. Finally, he reached out a large hand, forming a violent wind, and grabbed toward him.

The large hand instantly grabbed the young man over with unparalleled might; once confined, it was even more impossible for the young man to break free.

"I'll send you there right now! No need to thank me!" Having said that, Mengchen waved his hand and threw the young man toward the entrance of the Ancient Palace.

"Boom!" The young man landed safely, but very unexpectedly, he did not trigger the flames to burn his body.

How could this be... At this moment, everyone became puzzled. How could this young man be fine? So many Venerables had died earlier.

"Ah..." The young man, knowing there was no hope of survival, was in such pain from the shock that he curled up and rolled on the ground. But after a long time passed, he discovered that he had not suffered the slightest calcination.

"Hahaha... I am actually fine." The young man was overjoyed at this moment, and subsequently quickly plunged into the Ancient Palace to go seek opportunities.

"Why?" Mengchen was very puzzled and also very dejected; he had originally wanted the power of the Ancient Palace to kill that young man, but he had not expected that he had helped him instead.

For a time, quite a few people here also noticed the Cave Heaven behind Mengchen.

This little bald-headed boy is very strong, his natural talent is extraordinary! He has actually reached the legendary extreme realm of the Cave Heaven.

"He actually has such natural talent... Who is this person? Could he be a genius disciple from some great sect!"

That creature born with bull horns was greatly shocked; this youth looked to be only thirteen or fourteen years old, how could he be this powerful? Being merely in the Inscription Realm, he actually took down a Spirit Array Realm cultivator in one move; it was simply unbelievable.

Begging for votes! My dears. I hope you will be generous!
