Supreme Devouring God

After the meal.

The banquet was nearing its end.

Chu Minghuang took out an item.

This object was about the size of two palms, seemingly a kind of stone artifact, with two strange four-armed figures guarding a stone gate in the middle.

”Let me introduce this to everyone.”

”This object is the cave mansion left by the Four-Armed Stone Man.”

”It’s said that the inheritance opportunities of the Four-Armed Stone Man are hidden inside.”

Chu Minghuang stood up from his seat, then injected his Elemental Power into the object in his hand.

With a ”boom,” this object, originally only the size of two palms, suddenly became over ten meters tall, standing majestically and mysteriously in front of everyone.

Fortunately, the unique structure of the East Sail Drum Tower supported it; otherwise, any other restaurant might have collapsed under its weight.

Qin Chen also looked over attentively.

One had to admit, it was indeed a peculiar item.

The Four-Armed Stone Men guarding the stone gate always emitted a sinister aura, each holding a long spear, their eyes tightly closed, and standing nine meters tall.

Qin Chen attempted to use telekinesis, trying to probe through the stone gate to see what was inside.

However, his telekinesis had barely touched the stone gate when it was completely blocked by the aura emitted by the Four-Armed Stone Men on either side.

”Little Fairy, can your soul power penetrate inside?” Qin Chen asked Little Fairy.

Little Fairy tried, then shook her head, ”No!”

”The two Four-Armed Stone Men contain powerful restrictions. Unless brute force destroys the two Four-Armed Stone Men, or a specific method is used, no one knows what’s inside.”

Qin Chen’s eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at Chu Minghuang.

Why did Chu Minghuang take this out at this moment?

”I’ve tried everything to open this and enter, but I haven’t succeeded.”

”However, an elder once told me that this can only be opened by a supremely talented genius; using brute force will not open it and might even cause it to self-destruct!”

Chu Minghuang’s gaze swept over Qin Chen and the others, finally resting on Qin Chen.

”Young Master Qin, to achieve such accomplishments at just nineteen, your talent must be extraordinary. Would you be willing to give it a try?”

”If successful, the inheritance opportunities inside can be yours, as I cannot obtain them anyway. Consider it making a connection with Young Master Qin!”

Chu Minghuang smiled lightly.

In an instant.

All eyes in the banquet turned to Qin Chen.

Most of these gazes carried a chill.

Chu Minghuang stated that this could only be opened by those with extraordinary talent.

Then he specifically named Qin Chen, hoping Qin Chen would try, implying that in his mind, Qin Chen was the most talented among those present?

Qin Chen’s eyes narrowed slightly.

He was certain Chu Minghuang was doing this intentionally; it obviously seemed like flattery leading to a possible downfall!

If Qin Chen still couldn’t open it, but others did, it would certainly invite ridicule.

He wondered what he had done to offend Chu Minghuang, or was it simply because his brilliance made Chu Minghuang uncomfortable?

However.

Qin Chen looked at the object, considering that with such a strong defensive barrier, it was possible that Chu Minghuang wasn’t entirely lying.

Inside the Four-Armed Stone Men, there might indeed be inheritance opportunities.

”How could he be worthy of enjoying such opportunities?”

Unexpectedly, Woo Yueqing sneered and then said to Chu Minghuang, ”Eldest Prince, may I give it a try?”

Chu Minghuang smiled, ”Of course, since I took this out, anyone can try.”

Woo Yueqing asked, ”Then how might one open this?”

Chu Minghuang said, ”Simply place both hands into the two handprints on the stone gate; if the Four-Armed Stone Men approve, the stone gate will open. Otherwise, it won’t, and there’s no need to use excessive force.”

”I once had a Tongtian Great Power Adept try it; brute force was useless.”

Woo Yueqing nodded, stood up, and walked to the stone gate.

The gate consisted of two blocks, which had the two handprints as Chu Minghuang described.

Woo Yueqing twisted his neck, focusing his eyes on the two handprints.

Then he matched his hands to the handprints on the stone gate.

But, after a moment.

The stone gate remained motionless.

This left Woo Yueqing rather embarrassed. He shook his head and stepped aside.

”Does anyone else want to try?”

Chu Minghuang continued looking at the other Heavenly Pride.

Seeing that Woo Yueqing couldn’t open it, many of the Heavenly Pride present furrowed their brows.

Woo Yueqing was widely regarded as a strong contender for the first in the Heavenly Ranking. Even he couldn’t open it, which made many people think twice.

”I’ll give it a try!”

Ao Yunxiao stepped forward, carrying a sword, exuding a sharp aura, and went up to the stone gate.

Then, like Woo Yueqing, he placed his hands into the two handprints on the Stone Gate Mountain.

Unfortunately, just like Woo Yueqing.

The stone gate remained still.

”Brother Ming, would you like to try?”

Ao Yunxiao looked at Ming Tian, who had been sitting silently with a cold expression.

Many eyes turned to look.

Ming Tian always gave off a dangerous aura, so even top-tier Heavenly Pride like Ao Yunxiao were respectful towards him.

Ming Tian stood up without a word and walked straight to the stone gate.

He placed his hands into the handprints on the stone gate.

”Boom, boom, boom!”

This time, the stone gate trembled slightly; although not much, there was indeed some movement.

In an instant.

Everyone looked over, wondering if Ming Tian could open the stone gate?

But, to everyone’s disappointment.

The stone gate only trembled briefly, then returned to silence, with no further movement.

”This gate, in the Great Origin Dynasty, no one can open!”

Ming Tian withdrew his hands and said, returning to his seat.

Though Ming Tian’s words sounded arrogant, many people internally agreed.

Woo Yueqing, Ao Yunxiao, Ming Tian.

These three could each represent the peak of Heavenly Pride in the Great Origin Dynasty. Despite that, none could open the stone gate; it seemed even more unlikely for others.

Even if Yian Jingyao or Feng Yuling tried, the result would likely be the same.

Chu Minghuang looked back at Qin Chen: ”Young Master Qin, would you like to try?!”

Woo Yueqing, Ao Yunxiao, and Ming Tian all frowned.

All three had tried and failed to open the stone gate. Could Qin Chen succeed?

Although Qin Chen’s performance in the competition was impressive, the three did not believe Qin Chen could compare to them.

”Then I’ll give it a try.”

Qin Chen hesitated slightly, then nodded.
