Chapter 1429 - 303: The Tragic Shanggong Clan

Chapter 1429: Chapter 303: The Tragic Shanggong Clan

The bronze coffin was heavy, even Shen Changqing’s powerful Divine Thought Power barely managed to move it.

This realization.

Made him even more aware of the strength of the bronze coffin.

Immediately.

Shen Changqing exerted his full divine sense, forcing the bronze coffin to rise from its original position.

As the bronze coffin moved, the entire Star River trembled violently, terrifying forces forming ripples and spreading out in all directions.

The ripples were silent yet contained the power of destruction.

Those stars, which had existed for thousands of years, shattered instantly into oblivion upon contact with the ripples, not leaving a trace.

"Crack!"

The sound of space fracturing echoed, and as the stars shattered, the vast Star River began to crack.

When Shen Changqing finally stored the bronze coffin inside the Cave Heaven, the Star River reached its limit and suddenly shattered.

Star River shattered.

Waves of annihilation swept through.

In the next moment.

Everything in front was obliterated.

When Shen Changqing came to his senses, he had already left the Star River and returned to the front of the statue.

The box in his hand had turned to dust the moment he left.

"Boom boom!!"

A thunderous noise resounded.

Shen Changqing looked up, seeing the towering statue cracking at a visible speed, as if it could completely shatter at any moment.

"This place is going to be destroyed!"

This thought surged in his heart.

However.

There was no way out in any direction, only the statue in the center existed, even if he wanted to escape, he didn’t know where to go.

As Shen Changqing pondered a solution, an intense spatial power emerged from the void.

He instinctively wanted to resist, but Qingyi spoke to stop him.

"Do not resist, it’s the collapse of the space, it’s going to teleport you out."

Hearing these words.

Shen Changqing let go of the power that had just risen and allowed the intense spatial power to envelop him, then everything blurred out, and when he regained clarity, he was already outside.

At the same time.

Many other cultivators inside were also teleported out by the spatial power.

"Why am I out?"

"What’s happening, I was just about to slay that Stone Man!"

"Damn it..."

Many cultivators cursed upon seeing their surroundings clearly.

Entering the Ancient Ruins, without gaining many treasures, they were mysteriously teleported out, feeling as if they were played for fools.

But.

Some cultivators felt a secret sense of relief.

The Stone Man’s strength in the trial was overwhelming, there was no way to resist it. If not for being teleported out timely, they might have already perished inside.

"The Ancient Ruins can’t just throw us out for no reason, there’s only one possibility—that a cultivator gained the inheritance inside, forcing us to withdraw."

One cultivator suddenly spoke up.

Upon hearing this, many cultivators’ expressions changed slightly.

Indeed!

Inheritance!

Their purpose in entering the Ancient Ruins was to obtain the supreme inheritance. Now being forced out certainly meant some other cultivator had obtained the inheritance, leading to such a situation.

Immediately.

The local cultivators looked around trying to identify the cultivator who obtained the inheritance.

But to their disappointment, they couldn’t find any trace of that cultivator.

However, some cultivators sensed something amiss.

"The Huan Clan’s prodigy is missing, could he have obtained the inheritance?"

Huan Clan prodigy!

All the cultivators suddenly realized, searching for any sign of Huan Yu but found nothing.

No one believed that he would have fallen at the inheritance site, considering his strength was unmatched among all who entered.

If the other cultivators hadn’t perished, how could the Huan Clan’s prodigy have fallen?

Not fallen.

Given the current situation, there was only one possibility.

The inheritance of this Ancient Ruins had fallen into his hands.

"Huan Yu!"

Can Emperor’s face was vicious and terrifying, blood veins filled his eyes.

He hated!

Despite initiating the Ancient Ruins himself, he gained nothing, while Huan Yu took the inheritance, totally serving as a wedding dress for his rival.

Thinking of this, the Can Emperor’s desire for vengeance grew ever stronger.

Especially seeing only less than half of Shanggong Clan’s strongmen emerge from the ruins, the urge to kill almost solidified.

"Damn it!"

"This Emperor painstakingly opened the Ancient Ruins, yet you got ahead of me. You will surely pay for this!"

His gaze was as cold as ice.

Even though the Huan Clan’s strength far exceeds the Shanggong Clan’s, Can Emperor couldn’t care less about offending them.

This hatred must be avenged.

Moreover, the inheritance from the Ancient Ruins must be reclaimed.

Even if it results in offending the Huan Clan, he’d go forward regardless.

"Can Emperor, what should we do now?" A Shanggong Clan’s powerhouse looked grim.

"Wait!"

Can Emperor’s voice was icy: "Since Huan Yu acquired the inheritance, he will surely be accepting it inside the Ancient Ruins. When the inheritance ends, he must come out, we’ll just wait here."

"The strength of Huan Yu is not weak; for us to take it down will not be easy," said the speaker with some concern.

To this.

Can Emperor was already unconcerned: "Don’t worry, he alone is strong but he’s just one person. With the power of our Shanggong Clan, dealing with a mere clan’s Proud Heaven is no problem.

The inheritance of that place must not fall into the hands of other cultivators; whoever obtains it is an enemy of the Shanggong Clan!"

What is a Clan’s Proud Heaven?

An Emperor of an esteemed clan naturally possesses methods unknown to other cultivators.

If one truly reveals all cards, killing a Proud Heaven is not out of question.

This point.

He was absolutely confident about.

Other Shanggong Clan strong individuals were silent upon hearing this.

They could all see that this time Can Emperor had resolved upon a kill.

But this was normal too.

Anyone who had paid such a huge price to open the Ancient Ruins, only for the fruits of victory to be snatched away by other cultivators, would go mad.

Moreover.

The Shanggong Clan was in decline, and now all hope was pinned on this inheritance.

Huan Yu taking away the inheritance was equivalent to cutting off the hope of the Shanggong Clan.

How could the Shanggong Clan endure such a thing?

On the other side.

Shen Changqing, in the guise of Ziyan Sheng, listened silently to the discussions of other cultivators.

Clearly, all cultivators believed Huan Yu had taken away the inheritance and did not think others had taken it.

Gradually.

He himself began to doubt if the Overlord Divine Monarch Spirit Remnant he encountered in the Star River was truly the inheritance.

If it was truly the inheritance, then at the moment the Overlord Divine Monarch Spirit Remnant perished and the Star River shattered, every cultivator who entered should have been expelled like him.

However.

Huan Yu didn’t emerge.

"Could it be that there exists two inheritances inside?"

Shen Changqing considered this possibility.

Besides that, it seemed there was no other explanation.

But the problem was.

Now the entrance to the inheritance had vanished; even if he wished to enter, he had no way.

Qingyi said: "In such a situation, either Overlord Divine Monarch made dual preparations, or this place actually hosts two inheritances. No matter what, Supreme has profited greatly this time.

As for wanting to take all benefits for oneself, that’s unlikely."

"Senior is right."

Shen Changqing nodded.

Desiring to obtain all benefits under heaven is an impossible endeavor.

He had already gained the fragmented Divine Monarch Origin, acquired the Divine Liquid, and obtained the Bronze Coffin, which counted as quite fruitful. The remaining matters weren’t for him to dwell upon.

Glancing around at the surrounding cultivators, Shen Changqing didn’t intend to linger and instantly Yukong departed.

He still had to go to investigate the Ziyun Clan for similar inheritances.

Believing a clan must possess considerable information.

As Shen Changqing departed, the cultivators remaining at the scene didn’t stay too long, leaving with resentment written on their faces.

No choice.

Now the inheritance clearly had nothing to do with them, staying behind was a waste of time.

"Do we leave or stay now?" asked a Shanggong Clan strong individual.

Can Emperor’s face was indifferent, uttering one word: "Wait!"

He wants to wait!

Wait until Huan Yu emerged from the inheritance, then suppress it at once.

Such inheritance must be within his grasp.

"Prepare yourselves, once Huan Yu emerges from the Ancient Ruins, immediately strike with full force to heavily wound him, don’t let him escape."

Finally, Can Emperor added.

Shanggong Clan’s strong individuals tacitly nodded without further words.

Time flowed.

Who’s to say how long had passed.

Suddenly space trembled before their eyes; a young figure emerged from within.

"Now, kill!"

Seeing the figure emerge, Can Emperor’s eyes turned blood red, sharply shouting while already attacking with full force.

On the other side.

Other Shanggong Clan strong individuals began their assault.

In an instant, numerous terrifying powers converged into a torrent, submerging Huan Yu directly.

"Could he really be dead?"

Watching Huan Yu engulfed by the torrent of power, a Shanggong Clan strong individual looked serious.

At those words.

Can Emperor furrowed his brow, about to speak when suddenly at the center of the torrent, a terrifying force burst out, instantly shattering the torrent into nothing.

"Boom!"

An overwhelming might akin to heavenly power erupted, sweeping across miles of void.

At that moment.

Including Can Emperor, all hearts felt as if gripped by a terrifying hand, breath involuntarily stilled.

At this time.

Huan Yu’s expression was indifferent, as he looked at Can Emperor and others, a strange red light flickered in his eyes: "Mere ants not even at the Divine King Realm dare to strike at this Divine Monarch, utterly courting death."

Listening to this sentence, Can Emperor’s face dramatically changed, as if realizing something.

But before he could respond, a terrifying force enveloped his flesh.

In the next instant.

Power surged.

Under the aghast gaze of other Shanggong Clan strong individuals, Can Emperor’s flesh exploded directly.
