Peerless Dragon Sovereign-Chapter 654: Arrival at the Desolate Ancient City

The entire Desolate Ancient City was immersed in a joyful atmosphere, everyone filled with anticipation for the upcoming exploration of the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall.

This time, nearly all nine-layer Cultivators from Desolate Ancient City mobilized for the exploration of the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall. Such a grand scale was unprecedented.

They all felt that this time the Hall Masters would make big moves, and perhaps by the end of the exploration, everyone would benefit greatly.

As they gazed down from the heights onto the majestic and sacred hall, all the Martial Artists of the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall looked forward to a bright future.

Boom~

Suddenly, a thunderous roar inexplicably erupted from the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall in the sky.

Immediately following, a golden light shot up fiercely, causing the entire world to change colors, and everyone was confused and panicked by this unexpected anomaly, unsure of what had happened.

At that moment, it seemed as though something terrifying was about to emerge from the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall, with a suffocatingly dreadful aura permeating the air.

"What happened?"

"It's the first time something like this has occurred at the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall, could something have happened to the Hall Masters?"

"Don't worry, it must be that the Hall Masters have discovered a Supreme Treasure within the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall. Judging by the aura, it might be a Spirit Martial of the highest quality!"

"Another high-quality Spirit Martial has appeared; our Desolate Ancient Holy Hall's strength can become even stronger. We might even be able to eradicate the Slaughter Emperor Sect in one fell swoop, truly unifying the southern desert!"

As all the Martial Artists of Desolate Ancient City discussed and dreamed of the future of the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall, a thunderous roar suddenly came from within the hall.

This roar shook the heavens and the earth, scattering clouds within a thousand miles; the terrifying ripples sent chills into everyone's heart.

A sense of soul-stirring intimidation rose in everyone's heart.

"What on earth happened, it doesn't seem to be a high-quality Spirit Martial, this aura comes from… a Demon Beast!"

"A Demon Beast, how can this be possible, how could a Demon Beast come out of the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall?"

"Don't panic, it's likely the Hall Masters are using their methods, they are suppressing the high-quality Spirit Martial."

Boom!

"Roar~"

At this moment, an event that terrified everyone occurred, as a colossal Dragon Beast burst forth from the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall, roaring with anger that shook the heavens.

The terrifying body, spanning dozens of miles, coiled outside the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall, even a single glance would turn into a nightmare for countless people.

The scorching Dragon Breath streaked across the sky, its horrifying energy crashing down like meteors outside Desolate Ancient City.

Towering columns of fire rose into the sky, turning the entire sky into a fiery red color.

The ground was left with a deep crater dozens of miles in diameter, pitch dark and eerie.

"What kind of Dragon Beast is this, why do I feel an aura on its body that rivals that of the Hall Masters?" 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

"Terrifying, truly terrifying that such a dreadful beast was still lurking inside the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall."

"Why, weren't the Demon Beasts within the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall unable to come out, why can it?"

"Look closely, it seems like there's a person standing on top of the Dragon Beast!"

Amidst the heated discussions, someone suddenly noticed a shadow standing atop the Dragon Beast's head.

Looking up, they saw a stranger, a young man with a fair face and a resolute expression.

He held a golden longsword, as if a peerless sword had descended upon the world.

Standing atop the Dragon Beast, he gazed down at the crowd, unleashing an unparalleled pressure that instantly weighed heavily on everyone's hearts.

Like a mountain, weighing heavily upon their shoulders.

Chu Nan stood atop the Dragon Beast, and surveyed the entire Desolate Ancient City. With the Dragon Beast's powerful emergence, he had drawn almost every gaze in Desolate Ancient City at that moment.

This was the effect Chu Nan wanted to achieve.

As countless eyes looked his way, a startling Sword Aura appeared in Chu Nan's eyes, and he loudly proclaimed: "I am the Master of the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall! You have two choices, submission or death!"

The cold and commanding voice, mixed with Power of Cultivation, instantly reached into everyone's hearts.

The remaining Martial Artists in Desolate Ancient City, with the highest cultivation being only the ninth level of Cloud Sea Realm, did not even have a single second-tier fighter. How could they resist Chu Nan, whose power was now comparable to the pinnacle power of the eighth tier?

As soon as this voice fell, some with low cultivation levels directly knelt down, frightened out of their wits by this terrifying pressure.

Yet, there were still those bold enough to speak: "Chu Nan? Who knows who you are? We have the Hall Masters at the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall, it's not your place to intimidate us."

The Desolate Ancient Holy Hall was one of the most powerful forces in the Celestial Crossing Realm, even the most powerful recognized Royal Family couldn't do anything against it.

These people naturally wouldn't submit to the newly emerged Chu Nan, especially under the belief that they still had nine supreme Hall Masters behind them, particularly the first Hall Master, who was an unparalleled strong figure at the peak of the ninth level.

Known as the pinnacle of the Celestial Crossing Realm, with this mighty force present in the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall even for a day, it remained an unbeatable force feared by all.

The remarks gained the approval of everyone, they were outraged at Chu Nan's actions, collectively rising to resist, even those merely at the Divine Illumination Realm were not afraid at all.

Because they were firmly convinced that at this crucial moment, the mighty Hall Masters would certainly appear to resolve this arrogant adversary.

Facing the united resistance of the crowd, Chu Nan merely gave a cold chuckle.

Currently, he possesses the combat strength of the eighth level peak, and is qualified to make plans for the entire Celestial Crossing Realm. In the meantime, he will no longer choose to conceal his identity or hide.

He desires to build a force of his own, using this force as a starting point toward his goal.

Hence, the leaderless yet nearly controlling power over the entire Desolate Ancient Holy Hall of the southern desert was Chu Nan's prime opportunity.

As long as he controlled these Martial Artists of Desolate Ancient City, he could indirectly command large areas of the city in the southern desert.

Seeing that someone even crazily ascended, launching an attack at him, Chu Nan expressionlessly raised his hand for a strike.

Boom!

The ascending Martial Artists were directly struck to the ground by the power of this palm, Chu Nan coldly yet authoritatively declared: "I am the Master of the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall, and my position surpasses the Hall Masters of the divided halls."

"You can only fly when I allow it, whereas now, all you are fit for is kneeling on the ground!"

To assume control of the leaderless Desolate Ancient Holy Hall, Chu Nan needed to demonstrate strong methods to suppress these Martial Artists of Desolate Ancient City.

"This Chu Nan, such strong power, what is his background, why did he emerge from the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall!"

"Could it be that he's been cultivating within the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall, is he a strong figure from when the two realms were undivided?"

"Impossible, it's been nearly ten thousand years since the realms divided, no Martial Artist could have survived since then to now. This person definitely snuck into the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall."

"Don't fear, the Hall Masters will certainly appear in time, he cannot be arrogant for long."

Chu Nan's display of formidable strength may have prevented the people of Desolate Ancient City from daring to initiate, but they still held deep hopes in the supposedly long-dead nine Hall Masters.
