Chapter 171: The Opening of the Peerless Heavenly Venerable’s Ruins

The Southern Heavenly Old Ancestor’s expression flickered unpredictably, a raging killing intent flashing deep in his eyes!

He no longer remembered how long it had been since anyone dared speak to him like that!

“You little beast, are you looking for death?”

The Southern Heavenly Old Ancestor roared, a terrifying aura emanating from his body as he surged toward Su Bai to suppress him.

But instead of being intimidated by the pressure, Su Bai only grew more spirited.

“No wonder every Venerable in your Southern Heavenly Gate is a demonic beast in human form!”

“You really are from the Demonic Beast Clan, huh?” Su Bai said with surprise, his eyes gleaming.

The Southern Heavenly Old Ancestor felt his heart skip a beat—an ominous premonition rising within him.

At the same time, among the other four Old Ancestors, the Northern Darkness Old Ancestor of the Northern Darkness Sect’s expression also shifted slightly as he took a step back.

Just as the Southern Heavenly Old Ancestor, furious beyond control, prepared to strike, the surrounding sandstorm suddenly changed.

All the Old Ancestors exchanged glances, seeing the excitement in each other’s eyes.

Could the Peerless Heavenly Venerable’s Ruins be opening?

Was there a Supreme Treasure of Heavenly Venerable level inside?

“Rumble—”

The heavens and earth shifted as all the surrounding sandstorms gradually merged and devoured one another, eventually forming a Giant Sandstorm!

This Giant Sandstorm was terrifying beyond measure, tearing through the void across a hundred thousand miles, sending countless grains of sand soaring tens of thousands of miles into the sky, blocking out the sun, moon, and stars!

“What a terrifying sandstorm!”

The Old Ancestors watching this scene were all deeply shaken.

This Giant Sandstorm was so dreadful it even shredded the surrounding void into countless fragments, whipping up a hundred thousand miles of yellow sand.

Such overwhelming power meant that anyone below the Venerable level likely wouldn’t survive!

Even Venerables, without retreating to the Void Realm, would find it extremely difficult to withstand it head-on!

Of course, despite its terror, this sandstorm was still no match for the Fusion Grand Venerable.

As layer after layer of yellow sand rose from the earth, after a moment, the corner of an underground structure began to emerge.

All the Old Ancestors focused their gaze on that pointed cluster of buildings, their breaths quickening.

“*Huff, huff!*”

As the Giant Sandstorm continued to rage, the pointed tip slowly revealed the true form of Lushan.

It was a massive palace, constructed entirely from metal—ancient and grand, showing no signs of wear despite thousands of years passing.

“Boom!”

The moment the palace appeared, Tianjue Old Ancestor of the Heavenly Palace acted, reaching out a huge hand, intent on absorbing the entire palace into his Storage Ring.

*“Pffft!”*

But the instant his hand touched the palace, a blinding light erupted, and that energy hand quickly disintegrated bit by bit, completely shattered.

Not even the Fusion Grand Venerable could shake it!

Seeing all this, the Old Ancestors’ eyes burned with even more intensity!

Regardless of anything else, just this palace alone must be unimaginably valuable!

Thousands of years have passed, and yet it still easily withstood the strike of the Fusion Grand Venerable!

This was absolutely a Supreme Treasure at the Heavenly Venerable level!

And it was a rare defensive-type Supreme Treasure!

As Tianjue Old Ancestor made his move this time, the palace began to shimmer, activating its seals. Numerous mysterious runes intertwined, radiating billions of strands of immortal radiance that enveloped the entire colossal palace!

Only at the main gate was there a single entrance left open!

For a moment, no one dared be the first to enter, nor to act recklessly.

Even though Peerless Heavenly Venerable had ascended thousands of years ago, did that guarantee there was no danger in what he left behind?

Tianjue Old Ancestor’s recent attack had been completely nullified after all!

“Transform!”

Bliss Old Ancestor tossed out a paper figure, and the instant it hit the ground, it transformed into the shape of a normal person.

The paper figure quickly ran toward the palace, attempting to enter through the main gate.

However, the moment it crossed the threshold, a strange and inexplicable force surged forth, instantly shattering it into a fluttering pile of torn paper.

The gathered Old Ancestors’ expressions changed dramatically, their faces filled with shock and doubt.

Seeing that none of the major Old Ancestors dared to act, Su Bai shrugged and headed straight for the palace’s main door.

“Huh? Is he not afraid to die?”

Several Old Ancestors felt stunned—this kid actually dared to be the first to go in?

Didn’t he worry there might be danger inside the palace?

There’s only one life after all!

Before long, Su Bai stepped through the main gate and entered the palace.

Nothing happened at all!

Several Old Ancestors: ……..!!!???

But very soon, they discovered the problem.

Above the main gate, there was a line of small characters.

Previously, their attention hadn’t been on this spot, so they had overlooked this small line of text.

They looked over and saw that the characters were written thousands of years ago, but their form hadn’t changed much and could be clearly recognized.

“No beasts and dogs allowed inside!”

Upon reading this line, all the major Old Ancestors fell silent.

This Peerless Heavenly Venerable…

What a cryptic message.

Especially Southern Heavenly Old Ancestor and Northern Darkness Old Ancestor, whose faces darkened to shades of green-black and iron blue.

“Beasts”—was he referring to them?

If so, didn’t that mean they weren’t even allowed inside?

Then all this time, hadn’t their efforts been for nothing?

After waiting so long and making all these preparations, they didn’t even qualify to cross the threshold?

The two Old Ancestors’ expressions turned as ugly as could be, nearly spitting blood in their anger.

“Damn that Peerless Heavenly Venerable!” Southern Heavenly Old Ancestor cursed through clenched teeth, his eyes filled with ferocity and resentment.

“Boom!”

Just as his curse fell, countless gazes suddenly fixed on him from the void, and a bolt of heavenly thunder struck down from the sky, crashing onto his head.

“Crack!”

The Southern Heavenly Old Ancestor let out a miserable scream as he was knocked to the ground, his entire body charred, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, looking utterly miserable.

The heavenly thunder was too powerful—even a Grand Venerable at the Soul Integration Realm couldn’t withstand it and was nearly struck dead.

After the thunderbolt passed, a tempting fragrance wafted from the Southern Heavenly Old Ancestor’s body, as if some part of him had already been roasted.

“Hmm? That scent… is that the smell of Seven-Colored Divine Deer meat?”

Su Bai, who had already started to enter, poked his head back out and looked at the Southern Heavenly Old Ancestor, blackened and scorched from the strike.

The Seven-Colored Divine Deer was a Divine Beast of the highest rank!

Its meat must be incredibly delicious!
