Elder Maxwell was waiting just outside the sealed gate of the Prosperity Law Hall, arms crossed with a faint, proud smile, when suddenly…
The entire hall quaked as a thunderous explosion of golden light burst from the roof. Tremors surged through the ground, and the massive gate of the hall glowed with chaotic energy.
"W-what?!" Elder Maxwell's face paled. "Impossible!"
It wasn't just Elder Maxwell who witnessed these unexpected phenomena. In fact, the entire Wealth Mountain experienced massive tremors, which drew everyone's attention, especially those powerful experts.
Within moments, disciples in golden robes began pouring out from other parts of the Prosperity Sky Division, all staring at the spectacle in shock. Prosperity Elders appeared one after another in quick succession. From the Scripture Hall to the Training Fields, all gazes turned toward the Prosperity Law Hall.
"D-Did someone attack?!"
"Who dares to attack the PHW King Sect!?"
"No! T-t-the Monolith—Oh Heaven!!"
Inside the Prosperity Law Hall, the stone cubicles erupted with screams.
"My soul—something's wrong with the Prosperity Law!"
"The Prosperity Law Monolith is… It's shaking!!"
The entire Prosperity Law Hall was thrown into chaos, and at this moment, the gate of the Prosperity Law Hall burst open, and Prosperity Elders barged in one after another, Elder Maxwell right in front.
Furthermore, at this moment, a blinding golden light suddenly covered the entire Prosperity Law Hall, and with this light came a terrifying pressure, as if someone was trying to stabilize the trembling hall with their unfathomable power.
Only the Prosperity Elder could remain standing under this pressure, but their expressions were filled with disbelief, belief, and shock as they looked at the center, where a sun-like silhouette hovered above the monolith like a divine being.
"Her Highness was alarmed!?"
"Just what is going on!?"
The Prosperity Elders clamored as they recognized the silhouette and that power almost instantly.
"Who dares to cause trouble in my sect?!" Prosperity Matriarch's icy voice, filled with killing intent, reverberated through the entire Wealth Mountain like thunderclaps.
Those weak disciples instantly lost their consciousness, it was the wrath of an Ascension King, the King's Might!
But in actuality, the Prosperity Matriarch was filled with disbelief and confusion as she couldn't detect any enemy at all. Furthermore, if someone suspicious dared to make a move against the PHW King Sect, she would be the first one to notice, not to mention that this place was the core of the sect.
How could someone have snuck here without raising any alarm at all and even raised such a ruckus?
At this moment, a blinding golden aura flooded the entire hall, completely overcoming Prosperity Matriarch's aura and her suppression.
Thereafter, the towering Prosperity Law Monolith, once stable and unmoving for countless years, suddenly shuddered violently.
"NO!" Prosperity Matriarch's expression finally warped in horror as she poured everything to stabilize the Prosperity Law Monolith, even giving up the entire Prosperity Law Hall.
After all, as the highest authority of the PHW King Sect, and the generational Wealth King, she knew the deepest secrets of the Law Legacy of Prosperity. Although she wasn't qualified to get in touch with the third level of inheritance, there were records about it from the founder.
Panicked, the Prosperity Matriarch thought that her legacy was going to be destroyed, and if that happened, she would lose that peerless treasure.
Furthermore, the Law Legacies symbolized the prestige of the top six sects. If she let the Law Legacy be destroyed, the PHW King Sect would start to decline.
Moreover, there was another reason the Law Legacies were so important to these six sects: they could greatly reduce the difficulty of breaking into the Ascension King Realm!
That's why Prosperity Matriarch was going crazy, as her eyes were bloodshot. However, no matter how much she pours she used, it was like using paper to contain fire, and at this moment, webs of glowing cracks spread across its dark gold surface.
"STOPPP…" Prosperity Matriarch's shrill scream reverberated like a wild beast throughout the sect.
The monolith's outer shell split, and a massive surge of dense law essence burst out, causing the runes etched in the surrounding cubicles to go haywire and collapse entirely, ejecting the disciples inside.
Golden arrays exploded like starbursts, flinging people back. Those closer to the Monolith screamed as their souls were jolted, their comprehension forcefully severed.
The Prosperity Law Hall's foundation trembled.
The Prosperity Elders were pale as ghosts. At this moment, Steward Jesper appeared out of nowhere and roared like a wounded beast, "You fools, quickly seal the Law Hall! Protect the Monolith!"
The Prosperity Elders snapped out of their shock, and kaleidoscopic lights erupted from their bodies. Their spirit Qi soared into the sky, forming a giant barrier above the Prosperity Law Hall.
But even the Prosperity Matriarch was helpless, and at this moment…
The Prosperity Law Monolith exploded, releasing a shockwave of Prosperity Law so intense that it shattered the inner dome of the Prosperity Law Hall and sent Prosperity Matriarch, who was the closest, flying like a broken kite.
Those Prosperity Elders and Steward Jesper also met with that shockwave and were sent hurtling back.
From afar, countless cultivators witnessed the unthinkable—a beam of pure golden law light soared into the sky like a dragon, piercing the heavens and splitting clouds over the entire Prime Heavenly Wealth King Sect. A storm of fortune, spirit Qi, and Prosperity Law flooded outward. Spotanerror?VisittheoriginalpostonM&VLEMPY&R.
Those disciples suddenly felt the deep profundities hidden within this storm, and even their cultivation bottlenecks started to loosen up, especially those weak disciples.
Without any care, those disciples started to greedily absorb everything, and many broke through on the spot.
If this phenomenon had occurred naturally, it would've been a sign of a powerful natural treasure birth or a blessing. But alas, if only it had been a good thing!
At this moment, Ace's eyes snapped open within the stone cubicle.
The cultivation mat beneath him had already turned to dust. The walls were cracking apart, and golden chaos swirled around him.
Ace was shocked as he knew the reason behind this mayhem, 'The Prosperity Law Monolith shattered because I took the Equilux Balance Ruler and the other two treasures!'
