#392 - Chapter 392 Want to go through the back door? I didn’t expect my back door to be bigger!
“Empress Tianhuang!”
Jiang Luo and Ina were both shocked as they looked at the beautiful woman before them.
They sensed a life force emanating from her, not just a simple consciousness.
“Could it be… the strongest human emperor in history isn't dead?”
“She's a figure from over a million years ago!”
Jiang Luo's head was filled with shock.
It was unbelievable that Empress Tianhuang was still alive.
“Little ones, you guessed right. I am indeed Empress Tianhuang, and I haven't died.”
The woman with unparalleled elegance, dressed in a black and white dress, spoke softly,
her face of captivating beauty displaying supreme power.
This was the strongest human emperor in history, rumored to have slaughtered over a dozen True Immortals.
“Whoosh!”
In a spatial teleport, Empress Tianhuang appeared before the two of them.
Boom!
A tremendous pressure made it difficult for Jiang Luo to even breathe.
He felt like a tiny ant looking up at a giant dragon.
His entire being exuded an immense, heaven-defying power.
Especially her eyes, which were like two stars.
They possessed the power to create the world and annihilate chaos.
Just a glance at her made one tremble with fear.
Jiang Luo knew that if she wanted to kill him, he wouldn't have the slightest chance of resisting.
“You… how could you not be dead?”
Ina asked in shock.
Empress Tianhuang smiled faintly, her cherry lips parting as her supreme and majestic voice echoed in their ears.
“I have already reached the eternal realm of immortality, so how could I possibly die?”
“Even if the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths were destroyed, it wouldn't cause me the slightest harm.”
Boom!
Jiang Luo and Ina's hearts were instantly stirred up with stormy waves.
Heavens, immortality and eternal existence were realms they couldn't even imagine.
They couldn't help but shudder, it was too outrageous.
Could she have transcended the Heavenly Venerate?
It was hard to imagine that Empress Tianhuang was an eternal being.
Of course, with Jiang Luo and Ina's limited knowledge, they couldn't comprehend the terror of such an existence.
Then, Empress Tianhuang revealed a hint of a smile, “Of course, this is just an insignificant clone of mine.”
“When I left the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, I casually plucked a strand of hair and condensed it into this clone.”
“Once someone inherits my legacy left in Tianhuang, it will soon dissipate.”
This place could at least be considered her hometown, so she left her legacy in Tianhuang.
A single strand of hair was already this powerful.
It was simply unbelievable, unimaginable.
Moreover, this was the Empress Tianhuang from a million years ago…
“Alright, you two little ones, now enter the three levels of trials I've prepared for you.”
“Those who obtain the legacy I left behind can live, otherwise, you will die.”
“If you want to compete for opportunities, you must pay the price, and this time, the price may very well be your life.”
Empress Tianhuang smiled.
The world of cultivation was so cruel.
“Please send us to the trials, Senior.”
Jiang Luo said confidently.
With his talent, if he couldn't pass the trials, then no one could succeed.
He was that confident.
This was the biggest reason why Jiang Luo dared to risk his life to enter the Hongmeng Palace.
“Senior,” Ina said respectfully.
“What is it?” Empress Tianhuang asked.
Ina then continued, “I am from the Yi family of the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce.”
“Before you rose to power, Senior, you encountered great difficulties.”
“My Wanbao Chamber of Commerce helped you, and you promised to do three things for the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce.”
“Two of those things have already been completed, but the last one has never been fulfilled since you disappeared…”
At this moment, Ina took out a golden token from her spatial ring.
Back then, Empress Tianhuang gave three tokens to the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce.
One token would be taken back upon completion of each task.
After looking at the token, Empress Tianhuang nodded, “Indeed, it's the token I left behind.”
Ina asked, “Does your promise still stand, Senior?”
“Of course, it does,” Empress Tianhuang smiled faintly.
Hearing this, Ina revealed a happy smile, “The last thing is to ask Senior to give the legacy to me.”
This was Ina's confident foundation!
She didn't even need to pass the assessment to obtain the supreme legacy of Empress Tianhuang.
That's why she advised Jiang Luo not to come in.
Otherwise, he would surely die.
However, Jiang Luo didn't listen to her advice at all, so there was nothing she could do.
“Ah?”
Jiang Luo was dumbfounded, not expecting such a turn of events.
He was confident that no one could compare to him in terms of talent and potential, and that he could easily obtain the legacy of Empress Tianhuang.
He didn't expect Ina to play her cards so unexpectedly, taking a shortcut.
He stared intently at Empress Tianhuang, wondering if she would agree.
“Alright, I agree to this matter,” Empress Tianhuang agreed without any hesitation.
Then, she looked at Jiang Luo, revealing a look of regret, “Little one, it's a pity. I can see that your talent is very good, stronger than the Yi family's little girl.”
“But I have to fulfill the promise I made back then, so I can only be unfair to you.”
This decision made Jiang Luo's face change drastically, turning pale.
He couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.
He didn't lose in the assessment, but directly lost to taking a shortcut.
It was really too frustrating, and he was very unwilling.
“Sigh,” Ina also sighed, “Young Master Luo, I told you not to come in, but you wouldn't listen. Now you're going to lose your life.”
At this moment, Jiang Luo thought of something.
He could only treat it as a last resort.
He took a deep breath and said, “Senior, may I ask if you are a disciple of the Hongmeng Palace!”
This palace happened to be called the Hongmeng Palace.
He didn't believe there was such a coincidence.
Moreover, Empress Tianhuang said that she had already reached the eternal realm of immortality.
Perhaps, only a behemoth like the Hongmeng Palace could cultivate such a terrifying powerhouse.
Now, his identity as a member of the Hongmeng Palace was his only hope to fight for a path of survival.
Empress Tianhuang paused for a moment, looking at Jiang Luo with a slight surprise.
“You actually know about the Hongmeng Palace.”
Then, she continued, “That's right, I am indeed from the Hongmeng Palace.”
“Back then, my Hongmeng Palace suffered a great disaster, and my Shizu Hongmeng Saint Venerate fell.”
“We disciples of the Hongmeng Palace began to scatter in all directions.”
“I only had a wisp of remnant soul left, constantly reincarnating among the heavens.”
“The last life of reincarnation was Empress Tianhuang.”
“Later, my Shishu Hongmeng Master rose up with a heaven-defying posture, grew all the way, rebuilt the Hongmeng Palace, and became one of the strongest forces in these heavens.”
“As a core disciple of the Hongmeng Palace back then, I was summoned, awakened my memories of my previous life, and then left a legacy in the Tianhuang Secret Realm and returned to the Hongmeng Palace.”
Empress Tianhuang briefly introduced her origins.
“As expected, Empress Tianhuang is related to the Hongmeng Palace, and is still a very core member.”
Jiang Luo breathed a long sigh of relief at this time.
It seemed that he had bet correctly and saw hope.
“Disciple pays respects to Senior, I am also a member of the Hongmeng Palace.”
Jiang Luo took out his identity token.
【Name: Jiang Luo.
Number: 232334……
Information: Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, Xuanhuang Chaos Realm, Great Xia Luo King, Heaven's Boundary Saint, Undying Heaven Sect Master……
Identity: Hongmeng Palace Outer Official Member.
Evaluation: Top genius in one universe.
Hongmeng Points: 3000.】
Then, a stream of information poured into Empress Tianhuang's mind.
She smiled indifferently, “It seems that you have passed the test of the Tongtian Tower.”
“However, little one, you are really just an outer official member, not even an outer disciple. Strictly speaking, you are not a member of the Hongmeng Palace.”
“I have no way to break my promise and give you the legacy. It's really a pity.”
Empress Tianhuang's words poured a bucket of cold water directly on Jiang Luo.
“Ah? This……”
Jiang Luo's eyes widened, unable to believe it.
He had revealed his identity, but he still couldn't move Empress Tianhuang.
The identity of an outer member was too low to allow her to recognize him as a fellow disciple.
He never expected the result to be like this.
It seemed that his Nascent Soul was destined to fall here today.
Jiang Luo felt a deep unwillingness in his heart.
He didn't lose in talent, but lost in taking a shortcut.
At this time, Ina's face softened, and she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
She thought that Young Master Luo belonged to the same force as Empress Tianhuang.
Perhaps, the inheritance would be taken away by him, but she didn't expect it to be a false alarm.
“Little one, it's really a pity, I have to send you on your way now.”
Empress Tianhuang's terrifying pressure enveloped Jiang Luo.
Although Jiang Luo was talented, he was nothing in Empress Tianhuang's eyes.
Otherwise, he would not have only become an outer member, unable to even enter the outer sect.
Such an identity was not worth Empress Tianhuang breaking her promise.
This time, it was the closest Jiang Luo had ever been to death in his life.
Moreover, he had no power to resist at all.
Even spatial treasures could not help him leave this place.
He never dreamed that the ending would be like this.
Of course, just in case, the three divine beads had already been transferred to the Sword Immortal Nascent Soul.
Jiang Luo felt his consciousness becoming more and more blurred.
Was he really going to die?
Suddenly, Empress Tianhuang stopped.
Her face revealed an extremely incredible look.
“You……”
“How could you possibly have the aura of the Hongmeng Master on you?”
Empress Tianhuang was greatly startled, her heart filled with shock.
One had to know that the Hongmeng Master was a powerhouse who had surpassed the heavens.
He was the supreme spiritual belief of the entire Hongmeng Palace.
Even Empress Tianhuang was his extremely fanatical fan.
“Could it be……”
Suddenly, Empress Tianhuang felt that Jiang Luo looked somewhat familiar, and was startled by her own thoughts.
At this time, Empress Tianhuang received a message.
The way he looked at Jiang Luo was now filled with respect.
It was no longer the kind of aloof, supreme and oppressive existence just now.
“Young Master Luo, I offended you just now, please forgive me.”
Empress Tianhuang actually bowed and apologized.
Empress Tianhuang's sudden abnormal attitude made Jiang Luo stunned and extremely surprised.
What's going on?
What happened?
That made Empress Tianhuang's attitude suddenly become so respectful.
“Young Master Luo, you will understand one day.”
Seeing Jiang Luo's doubts, Empress Tianhuang just smiled faintly and said no more.
Then she announced: “My inheritance will be inherited by Young Master Luo!”
The sudden reversal caused Ina's face to change drastically.
She quickly said: “Senior… but you gave me the promise of the Wanbao Tower…”
Empress Tianhuang directly interrupted Ina's words and said: “You don't need to say more, this is how things will be decided.”
“Considering the promise I made to your Wanbao Tower, I won't kill you this time.”
“In addition, in addition to my inheritance, the entire Tianhuang Secret Realm will be given to your Wanbao Tower. This third gold medal will be taken back by me.”
With Young Master Luo's status, let alone a mere promise.
Even if it meant sacrificing her own life, she would never hesitate.
Then, Empress Tianhuang gave Ina a golden key.
With this key, she could easily control the entire Tianhuang Secret Realm.
“Go out!”
Then, Ina was directly teleported out of the Hongmeng Palace.
Even if she had any more unwillingness, she had to give up the inheritance.
“Out!”
“Out!”
“It's Ina!”
At this time, the nine quasi-emperors of the three major forces looked at Ina greedily.
Thinking that Ina had obtained the inheritance of Empress Tianhuang.
I couldn't help but have some thoughts, after all, this was the inheritance of the strongest human emperor in history, how could they not be tempted.
However, they were still afraid of the strength of the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The quasi-emperors of Tianbao Tower quickly protected Ina.
“Could it be that the master has fallen inside?” Feng Ruyan's face changed.
“Ruyan, don't worry, I'm fine.”
The Sword Immortal Nascent Soul transmitted the sound.
At this time, Feng Ruyan breathed a sigh of relief.
However, Lin Qingxue, who didn't know the truth, suddenly turned pale at this time.
I felt so uncomfortable for the first time.
Even if the entire Lin family was destroyed, it would not have been so uncomfortable.
Ina's gaining the inheritance meant that Jiang Luo had fallen……
Seeing that Lin Qingxue's face was not normal, Ina said at this time: “Miss Lin, don't worry, Young Master Luo is fine.”
Then she smiled bitterly: “He is inside, accepting the inheritance of Empress Tianhuang.”
She still doesn't understand.
Why did Empress Tianhuang suddenly change her mind.
Ina didn't know that she wanted to take a shortcut… and Jiang Luo's background was even bigger!
So big that Empress Tianhuang had to kneel down and kowtow!
“It turns out that it was that Young Master Luo who obtained the inheritance.”
“Just now we were still afraid of the strength of the Wanbao Tower, but now it seems that there is no such worry.”
“When that kid comes out, he will take action to snatch it away.”
The Quasi-Emperors from the three major forces all looked at Feng Ruyan.
They tacitly reached a consensus.
Nine Quasi-Emperors joining hands, they didn't believe they still couldn't suppress a Quasi-Emperor at the peak.
