Lin Dong appeared and the door of the main hall opened!

The other Cultivators stood to the side, gazing at the main hall with fervent expressions, but seeing that Lu Daoyuan had not stepped forward, none dared to make a move.

Lu Daoyuan’s reputation had long since spread.

He was arrogant and acted without restraint; who would dare to provoke him?

Even if you were lucky enough to obtain the Legacy of the main hall, you probably wouldn't live to leave.

Lu Daoyuan appeared before the main hall's entrance, a hint of anticipation in his eyes; he knew that the Legacy, unopened for tens of thousands of years, would manifest due to his arrival!

However...

Despite his appearance, the main hall remained unresponsive, its majestic doors unmoving.

He waited for a long time, but nothing changed.

Lu Daoyuan’s expression stiffened: “How can this be? Impossible! Open for me!”

He was certain that the Secret Realm's greatest Legacy was his Opportunity!

But before him, the main hall's doors remained completely unresponsive...

He felt a touch of defiance, reaching out to touch the main hall's doors, wishing to push open the doors that had been sealed for countless years.

Buzz!

The next moment, the main hall reacted, rippling with waves of energy.

A look of joy appeared on Lu Daoyuan’s face, “I knew the Opportunity here belonged only to me!”

But before he could celebrate for long, a sense of dread washed over him.

It wasn't the doors opening, but rather, in front of the doors, tens of thousands of divine lights materialized out of thin air, and Sword Intent transformed into tangible Sword Law and descended.

It was as if Lu Daoyuan’s actions had offended the main hall’s majesty.

Divine punishment descended, targeting this ignorant junior who had trespassed.

This barrage of sword rain was many times more powerful than the invisible sword prestige, heavily striking Lu Daoyuan.

Boom!

Lu Daoyuan was sent flying backward, looking utterly disheveled.

Blood stained his battle robe, and he looked at the main hall’s doors in disbelief: “How can this be?”

The sword rain just now was enough to kill a King Realm mighty expert; if not for the life-saving means his father had left him, he would have perished on the spot.

Fortunately, the sword rain only fell in one wave before vanishing without a trace; if there had been one or two more waves of sword rain, Lu Daoyuan would likely have had no chance of survival.

“Young Master, are you alright?”

“Let’s get away from the entrance first, it’s too dangerous.”

A Prodigy from the Lu family stepped forward to show concern for Lu Daoyuan, looking at the main hall’s doors with lingering fear.

The other powerful Cultivators retreated with lingering fear; the aura just now was terrifying, as if a Vicious Beast that had slumbered for tens of thousands of years had awakened, intent on destroying everything.

“I’m fine.”

Lu Daoyuan shook his head, stood up, but his face was grim; he had just lost all his dignity.

He dared not step forward again.

If he were to endure another storm-like barrage, he would truly die!

But he was unwilling to give up.

He didn't believe it, which didn't mean others couldn't do it.

Lu Daoyuan’s gloomy gaze swept over the others, and he said, “You all go try.”

The other Cultivators had powerful Magic Treasures suspended above their heads, or other means, and even countering the invisible sword prestige in the air was difficult for them, let alone the terrifying sword rain from earlier.

This sword prestige was enough to kill any of them.

Seeing that even Lu Daoyuan had nearly perished, how could anyone else dare to step forward?

Hesitantly, they looked at each other, and for a moment, no one dared to step forward.

Their lives were more important; the Opportunity could be taken only if they lived to do so.

Seeing this, Lu Daoyuan coldly said, “If you are unwilling to go, I will kill you first.”

Lu Daoyuan’s body flickered with terrifying electrical arcs, locking onto several Loose Cultivators; the aura of destruction and death assailed them, forcing them to brace themselves and step forward.

Loose Cultivators had no choice.

Lu Daoyuan was lucky enough to escape the main hall’s killing intent, but the others were not so fortunate, turning into blood mist, dying without a complete corpse.

As time passed, more and more Cultivators arrived at the main hall.

Every method had been tried, even many trump cards had been used, and King Realm weapons had directly clashed with the doors, but the main hall’s doors still could not be opened.

“Damn it!”

Everyone was helpless.

Soon, a sharp-eyed Cultivator discovered that whenever a Sword Cultivator stepped forward, the ripples on the main hall’s doors would show subtle fluctuations, which were hard to notice without careful observation.

Could it be that the main hall’s Legacy was specifically left for Sword Dao Prodigies?

Everyone also found that after more than a dozen people stepped forward, the light emitted by the main hall’s light barrier weakened slightly.

It was unclear whether it weakened with the passage of time, or if the Cultivators’ attempts had consumed some of the main hall’s light barrier’s energy.

Everyone couldn't help but guess that the main hall's opening time had simply not yet arrived.

It seemed that after half a month, the light barrier would dissipate on its own, and then the various powerful Cultivators would rely on their own abilities.

Everyone sat cross-legged on the ground, no longer struggling, just waiting...

Just then, a figure arrived at the grand hall, his posture tall and straight, walking towards the main hall’s doors; the person was none other than Lin Dong.

“Hmm? Who is this person?”

“His Qi and blood are so vast!”

“He’s actually using Protective Aura and pure Physical Body strength to resist the sword prestige.”

Everyone looked at Lin Dong curiously; Lin Dong was enveloped in a golden Protective Aura, like a war god descending.

Even Lu Daoyuan cast a sideways glance; his intuition told him that this young man was definitely not simple, giving him a strong sense of threat.

But that was all.

Lin Dong was only at the Tiangang Realm Fourth Layer, not worthy of his attention at all; even some veteran Tiangang Realm powerful Cultivators couldn't catch his eye.

“This kid dares to go up, is he looking for death?”

“How could a Prodigy as astonishing as Young Master be unable to open the main hall’s doors, and a little brat like him thinks he can?”

“I don’t know where this clueless kid came from.”

Many Cultivators sneered, no one spoke up to warn him, quietly waiting for Lin Dong to make a fool of himself.

Lin Dong was not clueless; he had been hidden in a corner, personally witnessing everything that happened.

Lin Dong vaguely guessed that the main hall tested a Cultivator’s comprehension of the Dao of Sword, and with his innate talent for Sword Dao enlightenment, perhaps he could give it a try.

Buzz!

Lin Dong’s entire body trembled, Sword Intent surged in all directions, like a peerless Sword God emerging, his Sword Intent seemingly gently communicating with the main hall’s Sword Law.

“What is he doing?”

“Why aren’t the main hall’s Laws attacking him?”

This scene surprised the other Cultivators, and they narrowed their eyes; could it be that there really was a way to communicate with the main hall and open the doors?

Perhaps it was to confirm everyone’s thoughts...

Something unexpected happened: the main hall’s doors trembled, and the mysterious and profound divine patterns on the doors suddenly radiated immeasurable light.

The next moment, under everyone’s horrified gazes, the main hall’s doors slowly opened.

Everyone’s expressions became incredibly vivid; Lu Daoyuan and the others had struggled for a long time, and not only did the main hall not open, but many people also died.

But as soon as Lin Dong arrived, the main hall opened on its own...

Lu Daoyuan’s face instantly darkened, feeling a burning pain on his face.

This scene, invisibly, slapped him in the face.

Lin Dong’s face showed joy: “Sure enough, only those with top-tier Sword Dao talent are qualified to trigger the main hall’s doors to open.”

Lin Dong felt a strange summoning sensation from within the grand hall; his intuition told him that his Opportunity was inside.

Without hesitation, his figure flashed, and he stepped into the main hall’s doors.

A chilling coldness suddenly emanated from Lu Daoyuan, sweeping in all directions, like the heavens raging.

“This is an Opportunity exclusively belonging to this Young Master; you cannot take it.”
