At the center of the ruins in the distance, the volcano shook. A magnificent ancient hall burst out of its crater, its dazzling radiance illuminating the entire ancient land as if it were daytime. The stars in the sky all dimmed, while five-colored divine light swirled around it.
The several great demons and Lingxu Grotto-Heaven's experts who had been fighting immediately stopped and all charged toward the magnificent ancient hall. They all wanted to be the first to open its doors, enter, and obtain the Demon Emperor's inheritance and divine treasures.
The entire ancient hall had been refined from five-colored divine jade. It seemed to have pierced through spacetime from the Ancient Desolate Era, giving off a sense of time's sediment and the aura of history.
The crystal-clear ancient hall had many ancient characters carved into its foundations. The dragon-shaped characters were vigorous, the phoenix-shaped ones soared, the Mystic Tortoise-shaped ones were solemn, and the Qilin-shaped ones were grand. They resembled dragons and phoenixes, tortoises and qilins, with strokes as powerful as iron hooks and silver lines. They were precisely the Demon Emperor Script from before the Ancient Desolate Era.
These characters possessed mysterious power. Several times, the crowd charged forward, only to be blasted away by the five-colored divine light flowing from them. They could not approach, much less push open the ancient hall's doors.
The several great demons and Lingxu Grotto-Heaven's experts joined forces in a single attack. The Purple Bronze Furnace, golden sword, Bagua Mirror, Jiaolong Scale Blade, and other weapons struck the ancient hall's doors at the same time. They finally shook it, and amid a booming roar, a crack opened.
At once, an Ancient Desolate aura surged toward them. A powerful life force surged like a vast sea, sending everyone outside flying on the spot.
