The Last Primal-818 Chapter 818
The closer it was to the core of the vortex, the more concentrated the lightning became! Thunder rumbled and lightning crackled.
It was as though a giant creature was about to descend from the vortex!
"Hmm… So it finally started…" Standing in mid-air, Aiden gazed at the distant-looking horizon with a bright golden light shining in his eyes.
The aura that emanated from the center of the cloud vortex was way too terrifying!
Against its suppression, even Aiden felt extremely insignificant and almost wanted to kneel down in worship!
Some of the martial artists couldn't handle it and were already kneeling on the ground in fright.
Gradually, a huge square-shaped granite stone slab appeared in the middle of the vortex, covering the entire place. As it descended, it seemed as if it could crush everything in this ancient world into emptiness!
This was only the tip of the iceberg for this unknown terrifying existence. The stone slab continued descending and gradually revealed its full appearance.
It wasn't a mere gigantic slice of granite slab, but instead something entirely different.
From the dark, swirling, and ominous vortex an extremely old-looking Temple-Palace, the famed legendary central place of worship for all lizardmen appeared.
It was an extremely old palace with a round top and a square base. Possessing an ancient and boundless aura, it seemed like it had arrived against the flow of time from the ancient era.
It had a boundless, majestic aura, a power that far surpassed anything this world have ever seen.
"[Reptilian] T-this! This is him! The High Priest's temple!" The elderly old man gasped and exclaimed with a shocked expression.
At the same time, the successors of the various super sects in and around the surface and below world recognized the origin of this ancient palace one after another.
The Ancient One's Palace.
Those words seemed to possess a special power, causing Aiden's blood to boil in secret!
To be honest, Aiden had not heard of the Ancient One's Palace before. However, judging from the looks of everyone else, he knew that the origin of this palace definitely surpassed the might of the mythical Metal Tree Grove's mountains!
Countless martial artists knelt on the ground and gazed at that ancient palace beneath the skies with endless awe and passion.
The Ancient One's Palace. stood tall in the sky, floating in the sea of lightning like a supreme god, peering down at the world with immense might.
A heavenly shocking appearance through stone, the arrival of the Ancient One's Palace! f𝗿e𝙚𝘸e𝐛𝚗𝐨𝙫𝚎𝙡.c𝒐𝐦
Taking a deep breath of air, the elderly uncle muttered to himself.
"[Reptilian] The appearance of the Ancient One's Palace means that chaos is about to arise in the world once more, bringing forth a new age! Be it the end, or the start of something new… only time will tell…"
"[Reptilian] Seems like, the High Priest will be granted the chance to step into the ranks of divine and become a Supreme Emperor! A new Emperor will definitely be born in this era!"
"[Reptilian] Perhaps we're about to welcome a prosperous era with multiple emperors arising, restoring the glory of the ancient times!"
"[Reptilian] To be fortunate enough to witness everything in my lifetime, I can now die without any regrets."
Somewhere in the southern regions, quite a bit of distance away from all the commotion.
A large buff reptilian figure, looking like to be oversized even for a Saurus stood with his upper body bare. Every single inch of his muscles shone with a bronze-orange luster, giving off the feeling of explosive might.
Breaking out of seclusion, a gigantic spear rested on this person's shoulder and he gave off an extremely savage aura. Raising his head to look at the ancient palace, he roared in laughter.
"[Slaric] Hahaha! The arrival of that old bastard's so-called palace! Seems like finally my time has come! I am fated to be an Emperor in this era!"
Before his laughter ended, the strange feral looking reptilian strode towards the center of the commotion in huge strides.
At the same time, at the opposite, distant northern reaches.
A pair of resentful eyes could vaguely be seen through layers of vines that concealed the entrance of a hidden cave abode.
"You ignorant commoner filth! Aiden, if not for you, I, Pei Syriac, would definitely have a chance to obtain the Ancient One's Palace's inheritance!"
Ever since his breakthrough to the ranks of the Martial Masters more than a year ago, he had not made any improvements. As such, he did not have the strength to fight the others for the Human Emperor's Palace's inheritance at all.
In order to survive, he could only continue to hide here. At least for the time being…
In the west.
A milky white robed monk who was originally sitting quietly in the middle of a dark and empty cave suddenly stood up. Gazing at the ancient looking palace floating in the air far above him, he mumbled to himself.
"[Slaric] The Last Guardian's Palace does tempt me. I need to check it out."
In the east.
A purple cloud soared into the sky before transforming into a figure and descending slowly.
The purple-robed figure had a stern expression and did not smile at all. Possessing a dignified expression, he was surrounded by endless ominous purple mana and had an extraordinary aura.
After pondering for a moment, the purple-robed figure moved and disappeared from the spot.
Somewhere else, closer to the center of all the commotion, a bit of distance to the north of the Ancient Burial Ground ruins and the Fog Infested Valley as well.
In front of a waterfall, a man sat quietly on a rock. Although he was drenched from the splashing water, he was indifferent to it.
A sheathed long sword laid horizontally across his knees and his long, narrow eyes revealed a sharp glint in them.
"[Reptilian] The time has come."
With slender fingers as translucent as jade, he gripped the hilt of his sword slowly.
*BUZZ!*
A sword light flashed for a moment.
The sword had already returned to its sheath, as if it had never appeared.
However, in the next moment!
The waterfall that was originally pouring down suddenly paused with a blank gap in the middle, as if someone had cut it in half!
"[Reptilian] The foretold inheritence has appeared. The prophecized time has come."
Rising, the tall man mounted the sword on his waist casually and murmured.
"[Reptilian] This is a rare opportunity for my thirsty blade to test the methods of all the other successors of the various factions!"
Almost at the same time.
The successors of all the various major factions be it clans, tribes or sects for that matter rose one after another, heading towards the center, towards the direction of the Ancient Burial Grounds.
Back in the Ancient Burial Grounds.
Aiden arrived beside Tai Liu and asked softly.
"[Reptilian] What's the background of the Ancient One's Palace?"
Gazing at her elderly uncle, Tai Liu said.
"[Reptilian] I think it's better to let my uncle explain it to you. He knows more about these ancient secrets and mythical fairytale stories than me."
"[Reptilian] It's just a pity that I'm reaching the end of my life and I won't be able to witness the arrival of this glorious era, sigh." The old man sighed gently with a wistful expression, revealing endless indignance in his eyes.
After a momentary pause, he said slowly. "[Reptilian] You already know a bit about the ancient legends of the world. The stories of a time when Emperors ruled over the landscape and there were gods and their guardians protecting all life to their best."
"[Reptilian] You already know about the legend of the first guardian, that -for some unknown reason- turned against his brothers and sisters and betrayed everything that he stood for. He became corrupted with power, and brought forth what we now call as the Ancient One's Apocalypse that ultimately scorched the land above us and forced us to flee underground."
The moment those words were said, it seemed to possess a divine might that caused the entire ancient realm to tremble.
Aiden furrowed his brows slightly. It was easy to deduce that this person, this guardian was a godly being just by the title alone.
However, even when Tai Liu mentioned the Sword and Spear Emperors previously, she did not reveal an expression as such. It was an innate reverence and respect.
This was no longer a mere title, but an eternal energy that ran through the ages!
As though he could understand Aiden's confusion, the old man explained. "[Reptilian] Throughout history, there would always be an emperor for every era. The Sword Emperor that left behind the Metal Tree Grove was merely the Sword Emperor of that particular era. Later on, there was someone else who succeeded said emperor as well."
"[Reptilian] In other words, be it the Sword, Spear, and various martial Emperors, they were not the only ones and every single era would have paragons attaining the title of emperor!"
