Chapter 1225 Unparalleled Might (1)
Standing before the giant gate, Yun Lintian looked at a mythical beast pattern on it with great interest. Similar to the Gate of Beyond Heaven, the pattern on the gate consisted of the White Tiger, Azure Dragon, Phoenix, and Black Turtle.
“How to open it?” He pushed the gate slightly and found out it could not be opened.
“Try to use the crown.” Hongyue suddenly said.
Yun Lintian nodded, and the crown appeared on his head again.
Buzz—
Yun Lintian didn’t even do anything, and the pattern on the gate suddenly shone in golden light. With a dull sound, the gate slowly pushed open, revealing a dazzling golden radiance behind it.
Yun Lintian and the others had to block their faces with their hands as they were unable to look at it directly.
A moment later, the golden radiance slowly dissipated, leaving behind a spacious hall made of gold. At the center, Yun Lintian saw a small golden mountain-shaped object float gently. This should be the Golden Mountain Core.
The connection between him and the core was extremely strong. Yun Lintian could not be mistaken about it.
He took a deep breath and walked into the hall with everyone. What attracted everyone’s attention wasn’t the Golden Mountain Core but myriad runes engraved on the wall.
Yun Lintian didn’t know what these runes were, but the solemn aura emitted from them made him want to kneel down.
On the side, Lauya and Hongyue looked at the runes thoughtfully. From their expressions, they seemed to understand the meaning behind them.
“So this is the case… No wonder.” Hongyue muttered to herself. A trace of sadness could be seen in the depths of her eyes.
Yun Lintian looked at her and asked in doubt. “Do you understand these runes?”
Hongyue didn’t reply. She turned to him and said. “Hurry up and take the core.”
Although Yun Lintian was curious, he didn’t ask further.
He turned around and walked toward the small golden mountain. Before he could reach his hand out, the golden mountain suddenly flew toward him and disappeared into his body.
Immediately, a golden brilliance burst out of Yun Lintian’s body, drowning him in the golden sea.
Compared to the other relics, Yun Lintian didn’t have to take the initiative, but the Golden Mountain Core was directly merged with him and gave him its power.
Boom!
In an instant, an instant where he was completely unable to react, Yun Lintian’s body went cold, and the sound of an extremely muffled buzzing sound echoed in his brain.
It was as though a glacier that had been sealed for ten million years had cracked open inside his body. Boundless cold energy gathered and then became countless ice-cold currents that burst outward.
Yun Lintian didn’t expect that the Golden Mountain that represented the metal element would give off such terrifying cold power. It was several times colder than The Moon back then.
However, he had no time to think about it. As though he had been pierced by thousands of arrows, Yun Lintian instantly knelt on the ground. His skin was rippled from time to time by the intense energy that ran through all over his body.
All his veins popped out, wriggling like maggots. It was a horrible sight to see.
Yun Lintian gritted his teeth as painful groans escaped his mouth. His body which had nearly gone out of control had twisted to the point where it looked as though he was sitting upright.
At the same time, he could feel his profound strength rise rapidly. Originally, he was a half-step away from the Divine Ascending Tribulation Realm, but there seemed to be a thin layer of barrier preventing his profound strength from going up.
Now, it had broken through it directly without any hindrance.
With a muffled sound echoing inside Yun Lintian’s body, he immediately felt as though he had stepped into a whole new world. His perception grew several times sharper and farther. He could even see all the movements inside the ruins with a single thought.
The first level, second level, third level,… Yun Lintian’s profound strength continued to rise at an astonishing speed that even Hongyue and Lauya had an incredible looks on their faces.
“As expected from the legendary fortress. Its power is too abundant.” Hongyue said gently. “Among the relics in this world, it is the most completed one. Moreover, it has actually taken the initiative to recognize him.”
“According to the information the previous Spirit King left behind, the Golden Mountain is the last relic the Beyond Heaven King created. Perhaps because of this, it hasn’t deteriorated much throughout the years.” Lauya said.
Hongyue nodded gently and turned to Linlin and Nantian Fengyu. “You two come here.”
Linlin and Nantian Fengyu walked over and looked at Hongyue in doubt.
“This place is suitable for your bloodline. You should take this chance to improve your strength.” Hongyue said and waved her hand. The complicated runes on the wall suddenly shone brightly, sending golden lights toward the two.
Under the golden light, Linlin and Nantian Fengyu immediately noticed that their blood origins had slowly improved.
Without thinking further, they hurriedly sat on the ground and concentrated on absorbing the power that came from the golden light.
Meanwhile, Qingqing was leisurely eating pastries on the side as if everything around her had nothing to do with her.
Time passed by very quickly. Two hours later, Yun Lintian’s profound strength had already reached the eighth level of the Divine Ascending Tribulation Realm, and the momentum seemed to decline a lot. If there was no mistake, this should be the limit.
Rumble—
At this moment, the sky above the Golden Mountain Ruins was filled with dark clouds, and thunder roarings could be heard from time to time.
“What’s going on?” The middle-aged man, who stayed in this place under Wu Qingcheng’s order, looked at the sky in shock.
Bang!
A terrifying lightning bolt suddenly descended and struck the Golden Mountain, causing the middle-aged man and the people behind him to jolt in fright. 𝘦.𝘰𝘳𝑔
“This…This is the Heavenly Tribulation!… Run!” The middle-aged man came to his sense and quickly rushed out with all his might.
