Chapter 39: Seizing the Three Emperors’ Inheritance, Fame Spreads Far and Wide

“I have already brought you into the grand hall as agreed, and when we leave the mausoleum, remember to tell me about the contents of the ‘Theory of the Uselessness of Dao Companions’.”

Nie Chen smiled and reminded Shu Xiangdie.

“You previously said that friend was indeed you!”

Seemingly having already accepted her fate, Shu Xiangdie let out a long sigh and asked, “What’s next? What do you plan to do?”

“Of course, I’ll take away the Three Emperors’ Mausoleum’s Inheritance.”

Nie Chen gazed into the depths of the temple.

Over there, a not-so-eye-catching altar was placed.

[Ding, a temporary mission has been issued: Take away the Three Emperors’ Mausoleum’s Inheritance and clear the Secret Realm. Task reward: The host can directly advance to the Opening Profound Realm and unlock the Ancient Sacred Body’s second meridian.]

Hearing the system’s voice, Nie Chen became even more confident in his thoughts.

With the Qimen Key, which he had obtained from the system at a great cost, the Three Emperors’ Mausoleum’s mysterious design and any defensive formations were already almost non-existent before him.

Walking to the center of the altar, Nie Chen inserted three incense sticks and then directly placed his hand on the central incense burner.

“Ka, ka.”

Cracks suddenly appeared on the incense burner.

The subtle formations and seals on it were easily broken, and the entire grand hall began to shake.

The temple shook, the ground trembled, and a pillar of light shot up from the incense burner.

The light was extremely dazzling, illuminating the dark red sky, and was very eye-catching.

At this moment, in the Secret Realm, only less than a third of the people were barely able to stay.

Under the fierce attacks of the flame monsters, they were already on the verge of collapse.

However, when the light pillar shot up, the residual waves spread around, and the flame monsters that were affected all dissipated.

Many cultivators who were on the brink of injury or death were shocked and looked around.

Before long, under the residual waves of the light pillar, all the flame monsters disappeared.

The light illuminated half the sky, and the mausoleum seemed to have turned into daylight.

“Who exactly saved us?”

Many gazes converged, and they saw a figure slowly floating up into the air along the light pillar.

This person was none other than the one who had been coerced by the Shadow Demon King and the others!

“How did he manage to break free from those old monsters and even step into the Three Emperors’ Mausoleum’s final trial?”

The remaining cultivators, who were all top disciples of the major sects, were shocked and looked at the figure in the air.

“This person’s name is Nie Chen. I heard he was once an ordinary disciple of the Demonic Sect, but a few days ago, he was personally selected by Empress Qingyue and directly became a disciple of the Heavenly Cloud Palace.”

“Appointing a Demonic Sect disciple as a disciple of the Heavenly Cloud Palace!”

Many people were secretly shocked, and it was indeed Empress Qingyue’s style.

Probably, aside from Empress Qingyue, no one in the world would dare make such a decisive decision.

Moreover, Empress Qingyue’s vision was truly unique.

One person surpassed seven Opening Profound Realm experts and entered the trial alone, which was an unimaginable feat.

Shu Xiangdie, who was also in the grand hall, looked at the scene before her.

She had instinctively followed Nie Chen into the final trial but ultimately chose to give up.

Looking at Nie Chen, who was enveloped in golden light and appeared majestic and sacred, Shu Xiangdie’s mouth curled up into a smile.

It was already enough.

She suddenly realized that what she wanted was not the treasure in the Three Emperors’ Mausoleum or completing Saintess Fanhua’s mission.

What she wanted was to be able to get close to Nie Chen.

And now, she had already gotten her answer.

“Indeed, everything about him is extraordinary.”

Shu Xiangdie let out a sigh, seemingly mocking herself, and her bright eyes sparkled with a different light.

Following the light, Nie Chen stepped forward.

The Three Emperors’ Mausoleum had three emperors, each with their own trials.

Saint Emperor Qi Xiu’s illusion appeared first.

His trial was a test of martial strength.

On the path of cultivation, only strength and cultivation mattered.

Otherwise, even with an inheritance, one would be bullied without strength.

Flames condensed out of thin air, forming a three-headed, six-armed giant beast with a massive body that radiated intense heat.

The beast roared and charged at Nie Chen.

Nie Chen’s arms were covered in golden patterns, and although the flames on his arms were not as large as the beast’s, they were extremely pure and seemed to contain profound mysteries.

Nie Chen stood on the ground, and with a burst of strength, his arms trembled, generating a powerful gust of wind.

The sound was like a phoenix’s cry or a dragon’s roar.

This punch was like a rainbow!

The flame giant’s three heads bit down, but they were met with Nie Chen’s punch.

“Boom!”

The explosion shook the sky, and a golden wave swept across.

The three heads fell to the ground.

Nie Chen leaped into the air, and a continuous stream of spiritual energy burst out of his right arm.

The second punch struck, generating a powerful gust of wind that pierced the giant beast’s body.

“Ah, no!”

The beast let out a reluctant cry, but its massive body could no longer support itself.

“Boom!”

The beast’s body crashed to the ground, sending flames flying everywhere.

The endless flames shattered and could no longer condense.

“Just…just like that, it was killed?!”

Everyone in the Secret Realm was shocked, their eyes fixed on the scene.

Although the beast’s strength was not comparable to the Shadow Demon King’s, it was still far beyond the monsters on the ground.

Facing such a terrifying existence, Nie Chen had killed it with just two punches?

Was this still a human?

Didn’t he only have the strength of the Foundation Establishment Realm?

It was simply…

Too terrifying!

The cultivators who were still in the Secret Realm felt that it was already enough.

They just wanted to witness this miraculous moment.

“Nie Chen.”

Just a few days ago, few people had heard of this name.

But when the Secret Realm reopens, his name would spread far and wide!
