The King Of Warriors novel (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 6236

The Celestial Palace's Sacred Mountain wasn't some hidden secret. Plenty of people came to worship there, so it didn't take them long to find one.

The group stepped into the Sacred Mountain and followed the winding mountain path deeper inside.

The inside of the Sacred Mountain was a world of its own.

Deep in the mountain's belly, there was actually a massive underground palace.

It was grand and overwhelming, and the walls all around it were carved full of ancient runic formations that gave off a faint golden radiance.

At the deepest end of the palace, a massive altar stood there.

Above the altar, an enormous coffin hung suspended in midair.

The whole coffin was pitch-black, and its surface was packed with sealing sigils, layer over layer, so dense they nearly covered every inch of it.

Even from several hundred yards away, the thing pressed out a terrifying aura so heavy it was hard to breathe under it.

Lydia's pupils tightened as she stared at the coffin.

"It's the Venerable's body."

Something stirred deep in her blood. It came from the instinctive pull the Ghost Clan's descendants had toward their ancestor.

Jared said nothing. He only started walking toward the altar, one step at a time.

Right then, blinding golden radiance burst to life around the altar.

Lines of the formation surfaced all at once, then instantly turned into a huge dome of light that covered the coffin inside it.

"The warding array," Luther said, his brow drawing tight. "The Celestial Palace really did leave something behind."

Jared quietly watched the light barrier, weighing the terrifying power sealed inside it.

"A True Immortal Realm formation," he said evenly. "If this had been before, I really wouldn't have had any way to deal with it."

As he spoke, he lifted a hand and gave it a casual sweep.

The Beast-Quelling Tower flew out of the Storage Ring and rose into the air, spilling down layer after layer of glowing light.

"But now..."

With a shift of Jared's will, the Beast-Quelling Tower suddenly swelled. In the blink of an eye, it turned into a giant tower 100 yards tall and came crashing down.

Boom!

The giant tower slammed into the barrier, and the impact broke out in a blast that shook the whole place.

The entire underground palace shuddered violently.

Countless chunks of rock broke loose from the ceiling and rained down.

A dim glow spilled from the Beast-Quelling Tower as it forced its way down, inch by inch, pressing against the barrier.

The barrier was strong, but under the Beast-Quelling Tower's crushing weight, it still couldn't hold.

Cracks began to split across it, one after another.

Crack!

The cracks spread wider and wider, growing thicker by the second.

Then, with another thunderous blast, the barrier shattered completely.

Jared withdrew the Beast-Quelling Tower and slowly walked up the altar.

He stopped in front of the coffin and looked at the dense layers of sealing sigils covering it.

His face didn't change.

"Venerable, forgive the offense."

He raised his hand and slammed a palm strike into the coffin.

Boom!

The coffin exploded, and that terrible presence burst out in an instant, sweeping through the hall.

A huge phantom rose out of the shattered coffin.

It was a broad-shouldered man in black armor. His face carried a hard, solemn authority. His eyes were shut, and the pressure pouring off him was enough to make breathing feel heavy.

This was the lingering aura of the Ghost Clan Venerable.

The mark he had left behind before death.

The phantom hung in the air, as if looking down on everyone below.

Lydia stared at the phantom. The rims of her eyes turned red, and then she slowly dropped to her knees.
