I, a spoiled young master, conquered the Crown Princess right from the start!

The blood mist was still drifting in the air.

That arrogant ape prodigy vanished from the world without even uttering a complete scream.

There was a deathly silence before the temple.

All the prodigies subconsciously took a half step back, their eyes filled with apprehension and fear as they looked at the ancient temple.

What just happened was too shocking.

A powerful expert at the Great Saint Realm, someone who could easily rank in the top twenty on the Prodigy Ranking, was instantly killed by the backlash. The power of this restriction was beyond their comprehension.

"It seems that without the key, no one can get in."

Chu Feng thought to himself, his gaze involuntarily falling on Aman behind him.

From the information on the jade slip to the appearance of Aman, this "key," everything was too coincidental. He was 90% certain that the secret of this temple lay with this little girl.

But... what if I guess wrong?

The fate of that ape prodigy is still fresh in our minds.

Just as Chu Feng was pondering, Aman behind him suddenly stirred.

The little girl's once clear eyes now seemed vacant, as if they had lost their focus. She stared blankly at the ancient temple that exuded a primordial aura, as if she had been summoned by some unseen force.

Then, she lifted her foot and walked step by step toward the temple entrance.

"Aman!"

Zhuge Yue and Fairy Yuechan's expressions changed, and they instinctively reached out to pull her back.

"etc."

Chu Feng reached out and stopped them, his eyes fixed on A Man's back, his voice low and deep, "Let her go."

Zhuge Yue and Fairy Yuechan were taken aback, their eyes filled with worry and confusion.

"Chu Feng, that restriction..."

"I'm watching."

Chu Feng interrupted her, his tone leaving no room for argument.

His muscles tensed up, and the three forces within him—the power of the Holy Monarch, the blood of immortality, and the origin of the abyss—were like a volcano about to erupt, poised to burst forth.

He had already calculated the distance, and if Ah Man were in any danger, he was confident that he could rescue her in a fraction of a second.

bet!

He has to take a gamble!

Ah Man's actions naturally attracted the attention of everyone present.

"Whose daughter is this? Does she have a death wish?"

"Are you crazy? Didn't you see what happened to that ape?"

"Hmph, another fool who overestimates his abilities."

Whispers and sneers rippled through the crowd; no one believed this seemingly unskilled little girl could be any different. They watched her like a condemned prisoner walking to her execution, their eyes filled with indifference and mockery.

Only a few people, such as Shi Yi from the Ancient Divine Mountain and the Holy Son of the Heavenly Ruins Holy Land, had their eyes on that small figure, lost in thought.

Runes flowed within Shi Yi's strange double pupils, as if he were trying to see through something, but his brows furrowed more and more tightly.

Under the watchful eyes of hundreds of people, Aman walked to the temple's protective barrier.

That invisible barrier was less than a finger's width away from her small face.

Everyone's heart was in their throat.

Chu Feng's breathing also stopped at this moment.

Aman stopped in her tracks, tilting her head as if puzzled. Then, she stretched out her dirty little hand and carefully touched the air in front of her.

Time seemed to slow down infinitely at this moment.

Chu Feng had already raised his hand, ready to strike at any moment the recoil force appeared.

however……

The anticipated terrifying backlash did not materialize.

The invisible restriction, powerful enough to instantly kill a Great Sage Realm expert, was like snow meeting sunlight or a soap bubble being popped the moment Aman's little hand touched it.

There was no earth-shattering sound, no devastating energy fluctuations.

It just... disappeared without a trace.

Completely gone.

An eerie silence fell over the area in front of the temple.

Everyone's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets, and their mouths were agape enough to fit an egg.

What... what's going on here?

What about a ban?

Where did that domineering, deadly restriction go?

Aman seemed a little surprised. She withdrew her small hand and tentatively took another step forward.

Without any hindrance.

She stepped effortlessly into the ancient temple that no one could approach.

"hiss--"

Someone gasped, breaking the deathly silence.

The next second, the crowd completely erupted!

"The key! That little girl is the key!"

"My God! The restriction is gone! The inheritance is inside!"

"Charge! Whoever grabs it first gets to keep it!"

Greed instantly triumphed over fear.

Almost at the same moment that Aman's figure disappeared into the darkness of the temple, the few geniuses who were closest to her transformed into streaks of light and rushed towards the temple gate like madmen.

The Golden Crow Prince, his body ablaze with the true fire of the sun, took the lead.

Shi Yi's double pupils opened and closed, and his figure flashed a few times before he overtook the opponent.

The Holy Son of the Heavenly Ruins Holy Land, who had been resting with his eyes closed, simply turned into a wisp of green smoke and disappeared from the spot. When he reappeared, he was already at the entrance of the temple.

The remaining hundred or so prodigies followed closely behind, afraid that if they were a step too slow, all the treasures inside would be snatched away.

"Let's go too!"

Chu Feng let out a low shout, grabbed the still somewhat stunned Zhuge Yue and Fairy Yuechan, and with a swift movement, mingled with the crowd and rushed into the temple.

His gaze remained fixed on that small figure ahead.

Whatever is in this temple, he must ensure Aman's safety!

……

Inside the temple, it was not as magnificent and resplendent as people had imagined, nor was it filled with divine weapons and miraculous elixirs.

This is a vast, desolate space that stretches to the horizon.

Beneath my feet lay the cracked, black earth, and above me hung a chaotic, gray sky. An ancient stillness and desolation permeated the air.

The entire space was empty, except for a colossal statue standing in the very center.

The statue was thousands of feet tall, piercing the clouds. It was unclear what material it was carved from, but it had a dark, stone-like color throughout.

The statue's face is somewhat blurred, but one can still feel an unparalleled domineering aura of looking down on the world and fighting against heaven and earth from its rugged outline.

His body was covered with marks from being cleaved by knives and axes, as if he had just returned from a fierce battle that swept across the heavens.

Just standing at a distance and looking at this statue, one can feel an indescribable sense of oppression, as if even one's soul is being torn apart by that savage and domineering fighting spirit.

At that moment, Aman stood quietly at the foot of the giant statue.

She looked up, gazing intently at the statue, her small body a stark contrast to the towering structure.

The ancient power within her, sealed layer upon layer, began to surge uncontrollably the moment she entered this space, creating a mysterious resonance with the statue.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

One after another, figures rushed into this desolate space.

When they saw the scene before them, everyone was stunned.
