Chapter 1358 – Ancestral Legacy Treasury

“Nan Gongsheng!?” Zhao Feng blurted out in surprise.

He never would’ve imagined that he would see Nan Gongsheng here.

Whoosh!

Zhao Feng immediately flew over.

The nearby Giant God Race members still did not like Zhao Feng, but since he had obtained the recognition of the Grand Elder and was also rumored to have some connection to Lord Wuheng, they would not go out of their way to challenge Zhao Feng.

“I didn’t think you would be here as well.” Zhao Feng smiled.

Nan Gongsheng was currently a Rank Six True God. After all, he had inherited the strength of an Ancient God and was endowed with exceptional cultivation talent, so reaching this level was very normal.

Even more surprising though was that the evil thoughts in Nan Gongsheng’s body were clearly weaker compared to back in the Continent Zone.

“When I came to the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, I ran into Xin Wuheng. With nowhere else to go, I followed him to this place,” Nan Gongsheng explained.

Now that he thought about it, he was extremely lucky. He had offended a four-and-a-half-star faction and nearly lost his life to their pursuit until Xin Wuheng managed to rescue him. Afterward, Xin Wuheng helped to suppress the evil thoughts in his body, which allowed his personality to slowly improve.

“That’s right…! Come and meet an old friend!” Zhao Feng smiled as he called Kun Yun out.

“Nan Gongsheng?”

“Kun Yun!?”

The two stared at each other in shock as they simultaneously blurted out.

Kun Yun stared at Nan Gongsheng and, noticing that he couldn’t fathom his cultivation level, immediately became rather envious. However, since Nan Gongsheng had inherited a part of Ancient God Xie Yang’s strength, it wasn’t strange for him to have achieved this level. Moreover, Nan Gongsheng had entered the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods before reaching the True God level.

The three of them looked at each other and couldn’t help but smile. They never would’ve expected that the three experts of the Hall of Gods would all be gathered together in this place.

Now that they thought about it, a very long time had passed since then. When they were in the Continent Zone, the three of them had joined together for the sake of their personal interests, but now that they were no longer bound by self-interest, the three of them walked and chatted with each other more carefreely than they had ever been before.

In the end, Kun Yun was determined to remain here. Although this place discriminated against outsiders, he still found it much better than Black Devil Peak. He wanted to struggle in this adverse environment and get stronger and stronger until he could reach Nan Gongsheng’s level. Zhao Feng was simply too unreachable.

“That’s right! Nan Gongsheng, let me give something to you!” Zhao Feng suddenly remembered something. By now, he had already duplicated many portions of Heavenly God Liquid.

He had already given a portion to Kun Yun, but Kun Yun was keeping it so that he could use it at the right moment.

Swish!

Zhao Feng took out a small glass bottle, within which was a white crystalline liquid.

“This is Heavenly God Liquid. It has a certain chance of assisting anyone within the nine ranks of True God of breaking into the next rank. The lower one’s cultivation level, the higher the chance, and one’s foundation won’t be unstable afterward.” Zhao Feng gave him the Heavenly God Liquid, but it was up to him to decide when to take it.

“To think that there was such a treasure!” Nan Gongsheng was stunned.

From its effect, he could see just how precious this Heavenly God Liquid was. He decided to immediately consume this treasure and try for Ancient God.

In this fashion, Zhao Feng spent several days in Giant God Hall.

One day, Xin Wuheng’s voice resounded in Zhao Feng’s mind; “Zhao Feng, come to my place!”

When Zhao Feng arrived at Xin Wuheng’s palace, he realized that all the experts of the Giant God Race that were Rank Eight or above had gathered here.

“Wuheng, you called him over as well?” Next to Xin Wuheng, the Grand Elder furrowed his brow.

The entire palace immediately fell silent.

There were also some other Giant God Race experts who wanted to exclude Zhao Feng. After all, what they were about to do next involved one of the most important secrets of the Giant God Race. If not for the fact that the Giant God Race was currently lacking in manpower, not even they would have had the right to participate, and now they were even allowing an outsider to participate!?

“Zhao Feng once assisted me in protecting the Ancient God Seal, and he was also pursued by Ancient Soul Hall, and yet he still delivered the Ancient God Seal to me. To reward him, I have decided to let him participate in this matter!” Xin Wuheng solemnly said, his tone tolerating no objection.

Many of the experts slightly shook their heads, but they said nothing.

Zhao Feng was quite taken aback. He didn’t expect that, even though Xin Wuheng had not cultivated to the level of God Lord, he was still so greatly trusted in his position as Hall Master.

However, he had heard a few things from Nan Gongsheng about Xin Wuheng.

In his previous life, Xin Wuheng was a peerless genius of the Giant God Race. He not only had a thick bloodline, but incredible comprehension abilities. In just three thousand years, he had advanced to the God Lord level. Even in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, this was a legendary feat.

The Giant God Race had entrusted all their hopes on him. If not for the coup in Ancient God Hall, Xin Wuheng might have become a God King, reigning over the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods and guiding its destiny!

At this time, the members of the Giant God Race had probably once more entrusted their hopes to Xin Wuheng, firmly believing that he would guide them to greatness.

“Zhao Feng, this Ancient God Seal is not merely the symbol of Ancient God Hall Master’s identity, but also the key to opening the mysterious Ancestral Legacy Treasury of the Giant God Race!” Xin Wuheng finally revealed the secret of the Ancient God Seal.

Ancestral Legacy Treasury?

His interest piqued, Zhao Feng quietly listened.

In a distant era, the members of the Giant God Race had a thin bloodline and mediocre comprehension abilities. But in a certain era, an ancestor accidentally opened up a mysterious treasury, after which the race produced several God Lords in the span of a short several thousand years, allowing it to become one of the peak five-star factions of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods.

Producing several God Lords in a row? This Ancestral Legacy Treasury seems just a little too ridiculous….  Zhao Feng couldn’t help but inwardly muse.

If this was true, then the moment the Giant God Race could open up this Ancestral Legacy Treasury and take control of its benefits, they would need only a short while to grow strong enough to contend against Ancient Soul Hall.

He found it difficult to imagine that the Ancient God Seal he had been using all this time was actually related to such an important secret.

“Wuheng! Open the Giant God Race’s Ancestral Legacy Treasury! Your group will go in while I will stand guard here!” the Grand Elder coldly said.

He was the strongest, so he had given up his right to enter the treasury to stand guard over the Giant God Race. One could see that the Grand Elder truly was single-mindedly devoted to the Giant God Race.

Buzz! Bzzz!

At this moment, the domain outside the palace began to tremble. The Grand Elder slightly frowned, and he sent out his Divine Sense to communicate with the people outside.

“Not good! Ancient Soul Hall is attacking!” The Grand Elder grimaced.

“If we open the treasury but Ancient Soul Hall manages to break in, we’ll be finished!”

“Damn! Just how did they know where we were!?”

The upper echelon members began to sigh.

“There might be a spy!” a Rank Eight Ancient God with a cold and sinister gaze softly grumbled.

Everyone immediately shot a glance at Zhao Feng.

For Ancient Soul Hall to attack at this crucial moment was far too suspicious. It was very normal to suspect a spy. Zhao Feng was the newest arrival, and he was also an outsider. It was very natural for him to be the first suspect.

“Let’s withdraw!” The Grand Elder’s expression dimmed as he vanished from the hall.

All the others swiftly took their leave.

It didn’t take long before all the members of Giant God Hall were gathered.

“Withdraw from this area!” the Grand Elder called out as he took out an enormous steel fortress.

This ancient fortress had wings around it. It was clearly a large-scale flying tool.

It took only a few seconds for everyone to get into the fortress.

Boom!

The ancient fortress rumbled as it flew straight up into the sky. Once it reached a certain height, the fortress passed through the domain and appeared in the sea.

The entire world was pitch-black as if the apocalypse had descended.

“Remnants of the Giant God Race, hand over the Ancient God Seal and submit!”

In the center of a black cloud was a God Lord of the Ancient Soul Race, his body translucent and his facial features blurred. He spoke in a cold and sinister voice.

“Ancient Soul Race… God Lord Gloomheaven!” The Grand Elder furiously glared.

Other than God Lord Gloomheaven, there was one other God Lord that he did not recognize. And given the number of Ancient God experts present, it was clear that the Ancient Soul Race had mobilized all its forces.

“Not good! Ancient Soul Hall is already here!”

In terms of speed, the Ancient Soul Race was far superior to the Giant God Race. Moreover, the Giant God Race was using a large-scale flying tool, slowing them down even more.

The Giant God Race members all understood this.

“Everyone, follow me to intercept Ancient Soul Hall so we can buy Lord Wuheng a chance to escape!” the Grand Elder said. This was the best solution available.

The ancient fortress immediately fell silent. Whether they lived or died hinged upon this choice.

Unexpectedly, however, the vast majority of the members quickly agreed. Nan Gongsheng and Xin Wuheng were members of Giant God Hall, so they had no reason to escape, nor did they choose to escape.

Zhao Feng walked over and gave the two of them a few objects that could save their lives.

“Wuheng, take a few people with you and escape in secret so you can open the Giant God Race’s treasury.” The Grand Elder solemnly gazed at Xin Wuheng.

All the people in the fortress stared at their hall master. At this moment, no one was burdened with more pressure than Xin Wuheng.

“Of course, we will not fight to the death. After holding them down for a while, we will flee with all our power….” the Grand Elder began to explain his plan.

At a certain point, the Giant God Race’s flying fortress came to a stop.

“Want to surrender?” God Lord Gloomheaven sneered.

In truth, they had discovered Giant God Hall’s hidden location a long time ago. They only waited until now because they were waiting for the Giant God Race to get back the Ancient God Seal. After all, the Ancient God Seal had been in Zhao Feng’s possession, and the Spiritual Race, with whom Zhao Feng resided, was very difficult to deal with.

“You look down on the Giant God Race too much!” The Grand Elder flew out from the fortress, erupting with terrifying bloodline pressure.

Dazzling white light exploded outward, scattering away the darkness.

Boom!

A giant so massive that it was difficult to describe loomed over the earth. The world quaked and groaned as if it was experiencing a calamity.

“Giant God Race….” God Lord Gloomheaven solemnly stared at the Grand Elder.

The majority of the members of the Giant God Race had extremely thin bloodlines. Those with thick bloodlines were extremely rare, but the Grand Elder was one of them; a true expert of the Giant God Race. In a one-on-one duel, he would never dare to fight the Grand Elder.

“Someone escaped from that fortress just now!” the other God Lord of Ancient Soul Hall suddenly whispered.

“Go after them!” God Lord Gloomheaven whispered back, and his body vanished, a moment later appearing in front of the Grand Elder.

“Don’t even think about getting past me!” the Grand Elder angrily roared. He waved his palm, immediately erecting an enormous earthen wall behind him that divided the world in two.

At this moment, the other members of Giant God Hall began to emerge.

…

When the Grand Elder revealed his true form, Xin Wuheng secretly escaped with a few people. Zhao Feng was in this group. He was an outsider, so the Giant God Race naturally could not allow him to remain to cover their retreat.

“A God Lord from one of the top twenty ancient races truly is capable of destroying a world!” With his left eye, Zhao Feng could still see how the two factions were faring.

The shock the Grand Elder had given Zhao Feng was greater than that of God Lord Heavenly Solitude. This man could destroy a four-and-a-half-star faction with just a stomp of his foot!
