Master Guangcheng placed a finger on Wang Chong’s forehead .

Bang!

A moment later, a golden light gushed out of Wang Chong’s body .

With a loud roar and a flash of pale golden light, a noble and graceful nine-clawed dragon appeared, standing behind Wang Chong as if to protect him .

But there was something unusual about this true dragon . In addition to its extremely faint color, it was also incomplete in some places .

Besides that, when the dragon appeared, auspicious rainbow clouds emerged around Wang Chong .

“How is this possible?”

Let alone Wang Chong, even Little Nightmare was taken aback by this sight .

Wang Chong was not the Son of Heaven, nor was he a member of the imperial household . Moreover, it was apparent from Master Guangcheng’s explanation that only the purest sort of Dragon Qi, that belonging to the Son of Heaven, could allow entry into the Celestial Palace . In normal circumstances, Wang Chong should not have fulfilled this criterion .

Wang Chong began to look back through his memories .

Though he was shocked, he suddenly recalled a certain matter .

He was no Emperor, so he naturally couldn’t possess the Son of Heaven’s Dragon Qi . But before the Youzhou rebellion, An Lushan had entered the capital and attended the feast of all countries . Already plotting rebellion, An Lushan had performed a dance, using the chance to steal Dragon Qi from the Sage Emperor using a secret art . At that time, while trying to stop An Lushan, Wang Chong had inadvertently obtained some Dragon Qi .

This was most likely the reason he had Dragon Qi .

After recalling this incident, Wang Chong quickly calmed down .

It was not important how he had obtained Dragon Qi . No matter what, he needed to get inside the Celestial Palace and end this danger .

“Senior, please, you must lend me your assistance . ”

Wang Chong rose and gave a sincere bow .

Master Guangcheng said nothing, but after glancing at Little Nightmare and then at the Xuanyuan Sword, he sighed and nodded .

……

Meanwhile, above the capital, in a special region in the depths of spacetime, a dignified figure floated in the air in a cross-legged sitting position . His body radiated light like a god, and if one looked carefully, one could see energy condensed into rays of light flowing into his body .

After some time, Heaven opened his eyes and spoke .

“How is it?”

All was quiet around him, but soon, a ball of soft light appeared in front of him . This golden ball of light gave off special ripples of soul energy . This was none other than Essence Supreme .

“Great One, your subordinate has completely recovered . In addition, though it was rather difficult, a new divine body will be finished soon . When the time comes, Great One can use this divine body to once more walk the earth,” Essence Supreme respectfully said .

In the journey to the steppe, he had served as Heaven’s vessel and taken more than half of the attacks, leaving him severely injured . But Essence Supreme was a disembodied soul and completely different from ordinary martial artists . Besides that, the Celestial God Organization had items that could restore large amounts of Psychic Energy . No matter what sort of injuries he sustained, he could quickly recover .

The only problem was the creation of divine bodies . But they had made enormous progress on the gathering of materials, so their losses had been minimized to the greatest extent .

“Very good . ”

Heaven nodded . Essence Supreme’s abilities had always stood above the rest, and he had never disappointed .

After a few moments of silence, Heaven asked, “Any sign of activity from that Child of Destruction?”

“This… At present, we are certain that he has entered the capital . In addition, following Great One’s orders, several days ago, when he appeared above the capital and tried to find the Celestial Palace, we did not act recklessly . However, he possesses extraordinary strength and has three Divine Embryo clones . If he tries to hide, finding him won’t be easy,” Essence Supreme firmly said .

“Let him be! In another few days, the Celestial Palace will be complete, and he won’t be able to hide no matter where he goes . In addition… I thought that he might be that certain person, but it now seems that I was incorrect,” Heaven sternly said .

The Celestial Palace’s process was divided into three phases . The first phase was the easiest to stop, but at that time, the Celestial Palace was at its most difficult to find . At the second phase, stopping it became very difficult .

It was now in the third phase, which was the coda . From Heaven’s perspective, the Celestial Palace’s power was present throughout the capital . When the final moment came, the entire capital would vanish like a puff of smoke, its millions of inhabitants becoming offerings, nutrients for the Celestial Palace .

Once his true body was free, he would restart the world and become the true Celestial Emperor of the world .

Civilization would be reborn under his hands .

He had been worried this whole time that the human youth called Wang Chong was the one spoken of in the prophecy and would destroy his Celestial Palace as had been foretold, but it now seemed that he had been overthinking things .

“There’s no need to pay any more attention to that Child of Destruction . The Celestial Palace will be done soon . When the time comes, there will be a few small problems that I will need your help with from the outside . As for afterward, whether it’s the Child of Destruction or Unity Supreme, We will deal with them personally . It is about time for everything to end!” Heaven proclaimed .

“Yes, your subordinate understands,” Essence Supreme hurriedly said .

……

Time slowly passed, and though the Celestial Palace’s power continued to grow by the day, the capital remained calm and peaceful .

Next to that dragon stele in the Western Mausoleum was an invisible domed barrier . Inside this barrier, a single figure stood . Wang Chong alone had a physical body, as both Little Nightmare and Master Guangcheng were purely psychic entities .

“My strength is greatly limited, and I can only use a portion of it around the Western Mausoleum . But before you move out, I must warn you again that the Celestial Palace is Heaven’s personal ritual tool . It is certain to be brimming with danger . If you are careless when you venture within, not only will you fail to destroy the Celestial Palace, you will be giving up your life . This being the case, do you still want to go?” Master Guangcheng said to Wang Chong .

“This junior’s mind is made up . Senior, please lend this junior a hand,” Wang Chong immediately said, his eyes determined .

Master Guangcheng fell silent . Though he had hoped that Wang Chong would change his mind and leave with Little Nightmare, he could see from Wang Chong’s determined look that there would be no changing his mind .

“Very well! Listen closely . Heaven’s Celestial Palace has placed a limit on me, and besides that, I lost my physical body long ago, so I cannot sense the Celestial Palace’s exact location . Thus, you will have to depend on yourself for this!”

Master Guangcheng quickly focused himself .

“In addition, you will only get one chance . Once I pour my energy into your body, it will set off Heaven’s seal in the capital and quickly draw his attention, so you must settle things quickly . In addition, the Celestial Palace itself will be dangerous, as no one would permit outsiders into their own ritual tool . You must mentally prepare yourself for this .

“Your only advantage is that once you’re inside the ritual tool, the Celestial Palace cannot use its powers on you . In other words, Heaven cannot use the Celestial Palace to influence your will! Even so, your chances are not good!

“Five days! In five days at most, the Celestial Palace will be finished and the entire capital will become Heaven’s toy, its millions of inhabitants offerings to him, including those people inside your ritual tool . Thus, no matter what, you must find the weakness of the Celestial Palace as soon as you can and ruin Heaven’s plan!” Master Guangcheng gravely said .

Though his words were harsh, as the Yellow Emperor’s teacher who had been revered by the world, he was not so uncaring as he appeared . His cold exterior concealed a warm heart .

“Understood!” Wang Chong solemnly said .

Master Guangcheng nodded, and without another word, he closed his eyes . At that moment, the Imperial Palace trembled, a storm began to brew, and a majestic sea of energy erupted from the earth and rushed toward Wang Chong .

Wang Chong could sense that the greatest source of this energy was the nearby Taiji Palace .

He reached out with his senses, and shock appeared in his eyes .

“This is… the power of the Three Emperors Formation!”

This torrent of energy was the accumulation of more than a thousand years of Dragon Qi and earth energy, the lifeline of the Great Tang . In all the realm, only the House of Li could use this power .

Moreover, with Heaven’s appearance, the power of the Three Emperors Formation had been suppressed . Even the Xiangliu Formation the Sage Emperor had left behind had lost effectiveness .

Wang Chong had not expected that Master Guangcheng could so easily use this power .

Master Guangcheng’s voice rang out in his ears . “Focus your mind and quickly find the Celestial Palace’s location . I can only borrow this power for a few moments, and Heaven will quickly notice . Once he does, you will never be able to enter the Celestial Palace!”

Wang Chong’s heart trembled, and he quickly focused, his mind becoming as placid as an ancient well .

Bang!

A few moments later, that vast torrent of energy that was far above the peak of the Grotto Heaven realm surged into Wang Chong’s body .

“So powerful!”

Wang Chong couldn’t help but be shaken upon sensing this seemingly infinite energy .

He had always believed that his cultivation wasn’t lacking . After all, he could fight against Heaven . But only with Master Guangcheng did he understand what true power was . Compared to the energy that he was now drawing upon, his strength was like a drop in the ocean .

Wang Chong felt that Master Guangcheng was only a little behind Heaven when it came to power .
