91: Chapter 91 Starfall Palace

Time flew by, and on this day, the originally dead-silent sky of the Secret Realm suddenly underwent an extremely violent mutation.

The originally boundless purple firmament now looked like a lake that had been thoroughly boiled, violently churning and twisting.

In the center of that twisted spatial turbulence, the phantom image of a massive palace, so huge that it could not be described in words, was slowly squeezing out of the Void Realm!

It was too massive! The phantom of this palace spanned almost the entire sky!

It was like a continent that had appeared out of thin air, hanging upside down above everyone's heads.

The architectural style of the palace was extremely ancient and rugged, without any flashy carvings, featuring only pillars as thick as mountains supporting the sky, and continuous halls that seemed to have been carved from entire star meteorites.

Just from this phantom image that had not yet solidified, the sense of suppression it emitted, as if it had existed since the ancient era, already made countless Star King-level experts in the Secret Realm feel difficulty breathing, and their Star Vortexes within their bodies even showed extremely slight sluggishness.

On the outskirts of the Secret Realm, atop a black mountain peak that towered into the clouds.

Su Wu stood with his hands behind his back, his deep eyes reflecting the boundless phantom of the palace in the sky, a flicker of extreme brilliance shining in his gaze.

"This is... the Starfall Palace."

Relying on his terrifying Divine Thought, which had already stepped into the Star Emperor Domain, Su Wu discovered that this palace was not a mirage; it was using some kind of extremely powerful cross-dimensional teleportation to forcibly squeeze into this Secret Realm from another folded space.

The phantom was becoming solid bit by bit at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The textures of the bricks and tiles on its surface, and the marks on the giant pillars, all began to become clearly visible.

Before long, it would truly descend into this space.

Another two hours passed.

The distortion in the firmament reached a critical point, on the verge of collapse.

"Rumble—!!!!!"

A terrifying, deafening sound that could not be defined by mere words exploded deep within the minds of every living being in every corner of the Secret Realm!

The massive Starfall Palace finally completely broke free from the shackles of the Void Realm and fully descended into this space!

With its arrival, the earth of the entire Starfall Secret Realm let out an extremely shrill wail.

Tens of thousands of mountain ranges collapsed in an instant, and deep rift valleys were forcibly squeezed shut.

The tremors of the earth even triggered visible waves of soil that swept wildly in all directions.

And around the now completely solidified Starfall Palace, a faint, semi-transparent, dark golden light suddenly radiated.

This layer of light, like a giant eggshell, enveloped the entire palace.

"It's open! The Starfall Palace has opened!"

"Charge! The fifth-order ancient martial art is inside!"

After a brief shock, the entire Secret Realm instantly fell into complete madness.

Thousands of streams of light in various colors, like a meteor shower rising against the current, shot up from all directions of the Secret Realm, rushing recklessly toward that layer of dark golden light in the sky!

Some of the Martial Artists who were at the very front did not encounter any obstruction or repulsion the moment they touched the dark golden light.

The light merely rippled slightly, and those Martial Artists, like clay oxen entering the sea, instantly vanished into the light curtain, teleported inside the palace.

Seeing this, Su Wu no longer hesitated.

The black mountain peak beneath his feet instantly cracked with countless terrifying fissures under his explosive power.

He transformed into a bolt of lightning, instantly crossing a distance of tens of thousands of meters, and plunged headlong into that layer of dark golden light curtain.

The moment his body touched that layer of light, Su Wu did not feel any discomfort.

On the contrary, an extremely gentle spatial force instantly enveloped his entire body.

The scene before his eyes twisted and changed violently, with all kinds of bizarre and motley colors retreating rapidly across his retinas.

When the intense sensation of weightlessness vanished and Su Wu regained his senses, he found himself standing steadily on solid ground.

Su Wu quickly scanned the surrounding environment.

The place where he was now was inside a huge hall.

The dome of this hall was so high that its top was almost invisible; one could only vaguely see a patch of deep darkness.

On the surrounding giant stone pillars, which would require a hundred people to encircle, there were no torches or technological lighting equipment; instead, they were extravagantly embedded with countless natural gemstones the size of human heads, emitting a soft, faint glow.

These gemstones were of extremely high density, and the radiance they emitted intertwined, illuminating this immensely vast, enclosed space as brightly as daylight.

The floor was paved with a type of black jade that appeared extremely deep in color throughout.

This black jade floor was polished to be as smooth as a mirror, even clearly reflecting the figures of the Martial Artists above.

Within the few seconds since Su Wu had teleported in, many other Martial Artists who had just been teleported in had already appeared one after another.

A rough scan revealed that the number of people in this hall had already reached at least ten thousand!

Moreover, this number was still increasing wildly as more Martial Artists from outside poured in.

These people had survived the brutal elimination of the first three days in the Secret Realm; none of them were weak.

The worst among them were experts at the Middle Stage of the Star King Realm, and there was no shortage of ninth-rank Star Kings, or even Geniuses at the half-step Star Emperor Level who had deliberately suppressed their auras.

Some stood alone, gripping their weapons, standing vigilantly in the corners; others were in groups of two or three, forming small alliances of interest, talking in low, rapid voices.

And when Su Wu extremely covertly spread his Star Emperor Level Divine Thought to capture the content of these people's conversations, his expression couldn't help but become somewhat strange.

Because the topic these people were whispering about was surprisingly consistent—without exception, they were all about that sudden, terrifying pressure that had shrouded half the Secret Realm!

"Did you feel it the last two days? That golden pressure that felt like even the Laws of heaven and earth were being forcibly frozen!" A Martial Artist with a long scar on his face lowered his voice, his eyes full of lingering fear.

"How could I not have felt it! I was fighting a half-step Star Emperor Level giant python to the death, and I was about to be swallowed. But the moment that pressure descended, the giant python was directly pressed to the ground, frothing at the mouth. In the end, it actually saved my life!"

"It was too terrifying! That kind of absolute rule suppression is definitely not something a Star Emperor Realm expert could do! I even suspect... has a Star Saint-level exotic beast emerged?"

"I guess it was definitely a phenomenon of heaven and earth triggered before the descent of some peerless ancient treasure beyond the fifth-order, deep within this Starfall Secret Realm!"

All sorts of bizarre guesses and fearful discussions were being bandied about.

That five-second pressure had clearly become an indelible psychological shadow in the hearts of this group of top experts.

And as the absolute perpetrator of this "miracle," Su Wu kept his hands in his trench coat pockets, listening to the surrounding talk that made him sound godlike, his expression remaining unchanged; he was neither proud nor did he pay it any mind.

Just when the number of people in the hall stopped increasing, "Hum—!"

The Void Realm at the very front of the hall suddenly trembled violently.

All the clamor ceased abruptly at this moment.

Tens of thousands of gazes turned in unison toward the source of the sound.

In the extremely vast mid-air directly in front of the crowd, the light from the gemstones embedded in the walls was suddenly gathered by an invisible force.

Countless brilliant starlights intertwined crazily in mid-air.

A few seconds later, columns of huge, extremely ancient characters, condensed from pure star power, slowly appeared above everyone's heads!

"Those who enter the Starfall Palace are all qualified to accept the test."

"In the end, those who complete the test I have left behind..."

"Shall be my successor of the Legacy!"
