Chapter 731 - 731 Golden Skeleton
A vast, majestic hall was situated behind the silver door, while the scene inside it would surely shock any Dao King who laid their eyes on it.
Inside this core region of the King's Palace, the Northern Sovereign, the Grand Elder of the Holy sect, and a dozen other high-level experts were all gathered together, as they surrounded a large bronze throne that was placed in the depths of this hall.
Surprisingly, the figure of a golden skeleton could be seen sitting on this bronze throne, emitting a terrifying pressure that forcibly kept everyone else away.
Even the Northern Sovereign and the other high-level experts were unable to step any closer to the golden skeleton.
At the same time, bolts of purple lightning continuously descended from the sky, as they bombarded the golden skeleton on top of the bronze throne without stop.
It was almost as if the figure of the golden skeleton was the true target that the purple-colored lightning bolts had been trying to destroy from the very beginning.
And yet, it didn't matter how many bolts of lightning landed on the bronze throne, the figure of the golden skeleton seemed to be completely unaffected by them!
At the same time, as soon as he stepped foot into the core region of the King's Palace, Shun Long suddenly felt a powerful, irresistible pressure boring down on his body, almost breaking his concentration and nearly forcing him out of his trance.
However, although this pressure was strong, it was still within the limits of what Shun Long's body could endure.
''Eh? Who is there?'' An old man dressed in purple robes let out a surprised cry the moment he sensed someone else entering the core region, his voice immediately attracting the attention of the nearby experts around him as well.
The Northern Sovereign, the red-haired Sovereign realm expert that was previously guarding young lady Niu, senior Feng, the Grand Elder of the Holy sect, and the other high-level experts, all turned to look at the person who had suddenly appeared in this place, before looks of disbelief colored their faces shortly after.
''What? A Nascent Soul stage brat has made it here? How is this possible?'' A middle-aged woman dressed in green robes exclaimed out in shock as she stared at Shun Long who was calmly walking towards their direction with his eyes still closed.
''How could it be him?'' The same thought had appeared inside the Northern Sovereign's, senior Feng's, and the Grand Elder's minds all at the same time as they stared at Shun Long's figure.
3 days ago, senior Feng had personally come here to ask the Northern Sovereign about Shun Long's identity, but the Northern Sovereign had said that she had no idea what he was talking about, displeasing senior Feng who believed that the Northern Sovereign wasn't willing to give him an honest answer.
After pressuring the Northern Sovereign for 3 full days only to receive no answer, despite being angry, senior Feng had decided to give up and return to the inner region to protect young lady Niu.
As for finding out more about this matter, he couldn't do anything if the Northern Sovereign refused to cooperate.
Besides, the Northern Sovereign was indeed much stronger than him, so the red-haired Sovereign realm expert couldn't possibly bully her with his strength even if he wanted to.
After all, the Northern Sovereign was indeed an expert who stood at the peak of the Sovereign realm.
How could senior Feng have guessed that just as he was about to leave, Shun Long would appear in this place and he would even manage to step foot inside the core region of the King's Palace?
Even among the geniuses of the central region, as far as senior Feng knew, such a feat was unprecedented. Even peak Dao Kings couldn't enter the core region of the King's Palace, let alone Nascent Soul stage cultivators.
At that moment, senior Feng turned his head to stare at the Northern Sovereign next to him with a cold look, only to see the same bewildered look appear on her face.
''Eh? That kid is wearing the Holy sect's robes? Don't tell me that he is really a member of the Holy sect?''
''Wait! I heard that there was a genius from the Holy sect who has comprehended 2 supreme Daos. Old man Kang Wen, is it really this kid?''
''Supreme Daos? Even when the other geniuses who had comprehended 2 supreme Daos entered the King's Palace, they still didn't reach this place! How did this kid make it here?''
The nearby experts either discussed among themselves, or they stared at the Grand Elder curiously as they waited for his answer.
What these experts didn't know, was that the Grand Elder hadn't even heard them just now as his attention was fully focused on Shun Long.
Although he knew that Shun Long was a monster with unprecedented talent, even in his wildest dreams, the Grand Elder hadn't expected to see him step foot inside the core region of the King's Palace.
Before they had entered the King's Palace, the Grand Elder had even warned the disciples of the Holy sect that no matter what they did, they shouldn't attempt to enter the core region under any circumstances.
It wasn't because those disciples weren't allowed to come to this place, but because the pressure inside the core region of the King's Palace could kill everyone below the peak Dao Emperor realm.
Even the inner court Elders of the Holy sect were only staying in the inner region of the King's Palace and didn't dare to step foot inside the core region.
In fact, even the Grand Elder himself felt slightly uncomfortable under this pressure.
How could he ever imagine that a Nascent Soul stage cultivator would be able to make it all the way here?
The nearby experts watched as Shun Long's footsteps didn't slow down in the slightest as he continued to walk even deeper inside the core region, coincidentally heading towards the figure of the golden skeleton that was still bombarded by the purple-colored lightning bolts.
