Chapter 1939: The Gate of the Sun Tomb
Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations
Xue Lin looked at the self-cultivators before them and whispered, “Honey, why don’t they go in?”
Qingfeng Li pointed his right forefinger at the golden gate in the big pit in front of them. “Wife, did you see the big gate? If I am right, this is the gate of the Sun Monarch’s tomb. It has extremely strong defensive power, and we can only enter the Sun Tomb by breaking that gate.”
Xue Lin nodded. She also felt a great amount of powerful energy from that golden gate. It was engraved with some ancient talisman scripts, which formed a supreme defensive array formation. Normal self-cultivators did not stand a chance of breaking it.
In front of the golden gate stood a dozen people, which were Huozhu Chi, Linglong Xue, Jun Po, Xie Ming, the Devil Monarch, the Wicked Monarch, the Ghost Monarch, and the Demon Monarch…. They were the best self-cultivators throughout the entire Crimson Fire Continent.
Qingfeng Li did not join in the fun but lead his group to stand at the very back, because Qingfeng Li knew that this was the Sun Tomb and great dangers were hidden inside. He didn’t want to be the bird that poked its head out first.
If Qingfeng Li was by himself, he wouldn’t mind being at the very front to plunder the treasures within. But, he had Xue Lin, Mengyao Xu, and Ya Yun etc.
Qingfeng Li first needed to make sure Xue Lin was safe and then to fight for treasures. It was not worth it to let Xue Lin get hurt for those treasures.
Huozhu Chi, as a descendant of the planet ruler, was extremely arrogant and didn’t care about anyone. He stood at the east side by himself and looked at the golden gate below, coldly.
Huozhu Chi suddenly used the fire element vital essence in his body and formed a streak of Crimson Fire above his right fist.
The fire contained horrifyingly high temperatures, burning the horizon and melting the void. It then turned to an eight thousand feet giant fist, smas.h.i.+ng towards the golden gate below.
“Ping!”
The crash made a resounding noise as though the sky and earth were smashed open. The fist left a clear print on the golden gate.
However, the gate was not broken but dazzled red, glossy. It was the defensive light s.h.i.+eld, like the tadpoles, containing terrifying power and rebuffing Huozhu Chi’s flaming fist.
Huozhu Chi’s face turned dark and a streak of surprise flashed through his eyes. His Flaming Spirit Fist was extremely deadly. He could even shatter a one-hundred-thousand-meter-high mountain with one punch. However, he didn’t think that he would be unable to break a simple gate.
The self-cultivators around all gasped seeing this situation. Although they were unhappy with Huozhu Chi’s arrogant and aggressive att.i.tude, they did admit that his ability was tremendously powerful.
Huozhu Chi was one of the most powerful people in the Crimson Fire Continent, hence his ability must certainly be great. However, even he couldn’t break the gate. Others would be much less likely to break it.
Linglong Xue’s fine body moved forward a step and radiated a strand of soaring evil energy. It condensed and formed a red, light pillar, which was made of murderous energy.
The self-cultivators around all stepped back. They were even more afraid of Linglong Xue, the fear coming from deep in their hearts.
“Let me see how hard this golden gate really is.” Linglong Xue gave a cold smile and pointed her right forefinger forward. She used the Blood Sea Finger, which formed a gigantic Blood Sea light pillar.
The light pillar contained inconceivable power and it pierced the void in no time. It ruthlessly banged against the golden gate and made a clear finger dent.
The next moment, the golden gate activated its defensive array formation again and bounced her b.l.o.o.d.y finger back.
Just like Huozhu Chi, Linglong Xue did not break the gate either.
At this moment, all the self-cultivators deeply felt the power of the golden gate. It was not surprising that everyone was stuck here, unable to enter, for the golden gate’s array formation blocked everyone’s way in.
Jun Po laughed out loud. “Huozhu Chi and Linglong Xue, neither of you can break this golden gate. Let me try.”
Linglong Xue showed a cold smile and a wicked look in her eyes. “I couldn’t do it with my Blood Sea Finger. You won’t be able to break it either. Don’t overestimate yourself. If you can break this gate, I will be your date for an evening,” said Linglong Xue full of disdain.
The self-cultivators around stirred and their eyes lit up. Linglong Xue was the first beauty of the Crimson Fire Continent, one of a kind. The people who were trying to go out with her and buy her dinner were in a queue, but until now, not a single guy had been able to ask her out. Everyone was focused on Jun Po and waited to see what he would say.
Jun Po laughed loudly. “Linglong Xue, I have your word. If I break the gate, you will have to have dinner with me.”
Jun Po stepped ahead and came to the front of the golden gate. He waved his White Jade Halberd and drew an arch towards the gate.
“Peng!,
With a deafening sound, his White Jade Halberd’s head thrust against the gate and left a vibrant scratch. However, the golden gate automatically started its defensive array formation and formed a defensive light veil, which bounced back the White Jade Halberd.
Jun Po’s face changed colors. He obviously knew the White Jade Halberd’s power, as he had inherited it from a saint. Even so, it still could not deal with the golden gate. He was truly embarra.s.sed.
Qingfeng Li frowned when he saw that Jun Po had used the White Jade Halberd. The confusion in his eyes acc.u.mulated.
Qingfeng Li clearly saw that the moves and techniques Jun Po did with his White Jade Halberd were the same as what he did with his Sky-Breaking Halberd. Qingfeng Li felt strange. “Could there be two Sky-Breaking Halberds? One black and one white?”
Right when Qingfeng Li was deep in confusion, Linglong Xue looked at Jun Po sarcastically. “I told you and you wouldn’t believe me. Men who are able to take me out on a date don’t yet exist. I put my words on the table today. Whoever can break the gate can have dinner with me. I will also fulfill one request.”
Having heard Linglong Xue’s words, the self-cultivators around were eager to give it a try. The next in line was Xie Ming. Although he was an elder over a thousand years old, he still could not resist Linglong Xue’s beauty.
Xie Ming waved his black scepter, emitted a strand of swift and stern silver light, and struck brutally on the golden gate. Unfortunately, it didn’t break the gate either.
Soon after, the Devil Monarch, the Demon Monarch, the Wicked Monarch, the Ghost Monarch, and other big unorthodox forces all used their power to attack the golden gate in front.
However, no attack differed from the last, everyone’s attack was bounced back by the defensive array formation of the golden gate. No one could break the gate.
Qingfeng Li saw this from the back and furrowed his brow, “What a bunch of idiots. How can they obtain the treasures from it if they can’t even break the gate?”
