The Greatest Disciple of the Evil Sect
Chapter 349- Grand Elder

Chapter 349: Chapter 349- Grand Elder

"What the deal with this old man. If not for the fact that he was able to enter this special domain, I would not have believed that he is a battle overlord realm practitioner," Yang Chen muttered shifting his gaze away.

Amon stayed silent, lost in its thoughts.

"Everyone, all twelve Rune Plates and their holders are here. Now let’s commence opening the gates" As someone who clearly held a lot of sway in this place and the faction that actually discovered this ancient ruin, Li Fang from the Xuan sect took the lead in opening the gates.

"The runes in the rune plates are the actual key to activating the gates. All the practitioners need to do is take out their rune plates and insert their battle energy into them. The rune plates will then correspond with the runes engraved in each of the twelve gates. Is everyone ready?"

On his words, all the practitioners who held the key stepped forward and took out their Rune plates. Next, they did as told and inserted their battle energy into it.

DONG... the next instant, an ancient sound of a bell rang through the basin and the entire mountain range that they were on, started shaking. Twelve lights shot out from the rune plates and slammed into the corresponding gates.

And then, in front of the excited eyes of all the practitioners, formed a revolving void.

There was no need for any words, everybody understood that the gate had been opened. The twelve voids were the path to the inheritance of the ancient sect.

"The gates have been opened, rush!!" It was unknown who said it, but with those words, it was as if a bloodthirsty beast had finally gotten the scent of blood, all the practitioners’ eyes turned red with greed as they rushed into those voids.

"Fools"

Li Fang, watching the spectacle, made a mocking smile. If anyone could enter the gates, then there would have been no need for the rune plates.

BANG... a terrifying power that covered the entire basin in an instant, pushed and slammed the practitioners who were trying to enter without the rune plates back.

Thousands and thousands of practitioners fell from the sky like locusts, spitting blood and looking extremely miserable. Their eyes were filled with fear at the power that could have easily killed them all.

This... this was the repeat of what happened back at the opening of the ancient domain. Meanwhile, each holder of the rune plate was bathed in the light corresponding to their gate and was swiftly being pulled in.

"Yang Chen, looks like my gate is that one" Tang Xun’er pointed.

The former nodded and cautioned "Yeah, mine is that one it seems. Looks like from here on, we will have to move on our own. Even though it is rumoured that we will find the inheritance of the ancient sect there, you still need to be careful"...

"You too".

With that the both of them were swiftly pulled inside the gate. The inheritance of the ancient sect, the numerous trials and ordeals, the reward waiting for them after all their hard work, what was it gonna be?

Yang Chen felt like his conscious floating around in a gravity less environment with no direction and destination. It was like an endless space with no end. Finally, when he was starting to doubt how long it would go on for, his consciousness returned back to his body and he found himself in a wide cavern.

All around him were thick walls and a single path in front. Having not been maintained in many years, moss and mushrooms started sprouting in every corner of this place.

The place was dimly lit by the energy crystals still working to this day.

"So I need to head deeper into the cave?" As Yang Chen proceeded forward, he observed that the cave had many collapsed and destroyed parts. A tell tale sign that a fight must have broken out here.

These signs were all around the path, with even some skeletons to be found here and there. Amon inspected these skeletons before smiling sadistically.

"These people seemed to be quite powerful. However, there appears to be traces of some sort of foreign power binding their bodies, causing them to move according to the caster’s will"...

"How powerful were these people?"...

"It’s hard to tell, but given by the makeup of the density of their skeletons, I would say that their cultivation had far surpassed the battle king realm?"...

"What?" Yang Chen was so surprised that he couldn’t control his voice. Battle king... it was still a distant concept for him. From his perspective, battle overlord was already so powerful, he couldn’t even imagine how powerful battle king realm practitioners were.

Yet in front of him lay not one but several skeletons of practitioners who might have surpassed the Battle King realm. For beings like them to die, who or what kind of entity could have done it?

"The world is much bigger. What you know might just be the tip of the iceberg. You have only started exploring this world, so you do not need to be overly concerned about it. Take the time, explore the world and perhaps you will come to realise the truth one day" Amon explained, stopping him from wildly running his thoughts.

"That said, these bones are quite good material to fix your demonic puppet. Leaving them here would be a waste. Let’s take them all"...

Yang Chen quickly stored them all. The Demonic Puppet was one of his core strengths and trump cards.

As he witnessed earlier, it was the best and most effective weapon. Having it was like having an extra life saving ability. If it can be fixed, naturally he would do everything in his power.

"Let’s go, whatever inheritance this sect left, must be inside".

Yang Chen continued advancing through the cavern. After a few meandering turn, the path opened up and a huge underground space revealed in front of him. The path ahead was completely dark and it looked like it was descending into an abyss.
