Chapter 681 - Breaking Into The Eight Dragons Dominator Palace
Zhong Yue glanced over Goddess Shen Hou and thought, It is really beneficial to walk alongside the goddess. Even King Geng was scared. With her beside me, I wonder if the Prison Realm Realm Lord Fa Zaozhen would dare to do anything to me.
Outside of the Ancient Land of God Graves, a bridge suppressed the black hole and connected it to the Prison Realm's heaven court.
In the heaven court was the Prison Realm Lord surrounded by gods. His eyes were closed, but suddenly, his breath turned turbulent.
The gods around also shuddered violently, they muffled a deep groan and lost their balance.
Heavenly King Shang looked at him and asked, "Why is the Realm Lord's heart suddenly pounding? Is something wrong?"
"My son is dead," Prison Realm Realm Lord's face was mournful as he sighed, his voice shook the black hole in front of them. "My son was killed by a skeleton in the ancient land. Poor child, I have more than 7,600 sons and daughters, but he was the most favorite son I've had. His talent was also the highest of them all. But why, why was he the one who died instead of the other children?"
Prison Realm Realm Lord could not stop the tear that rolled down his cheek, he said, "I would rather exchange the other 7,600 children for his life, but the murderer did not give me this opportunity."
Heavenly King Shang frowned, he asked, "Who was so bold to dare to kill your son? Tian Ting, Tian Shi, search the ancient land and find that skeleton!"
Just as Tian Shi, Tian Ting was about to execute a thorough search of the ancient area, the Prison Realm Realm Lord sighed and said, "No need for that. I know who this skeleton is. A talent who I've protected under my wings, but little did I know he would turn into a cold-blooded tiger that fed on my favorite child's life. Needless to say, I won't let him live this time."
Emerald Heaven Dharma King heard the words and her heart grew happy, The one that the Realm Lord was referring to must be the Human Zhong Yue! This brat killed my Prince Shi Yun, I have long wanted to kill him to vent my anger. But the Realm Lord protected him. Yet, now that he killed the son of the Realm Lord, his death will be inevitable!
"Left General, take my letter and head to Hell. Tell the Hell Emperor that I have a request for him — let my son be reincarnated into a better life, and that I still want him to be my son in his next life."
Prison Realm Realm Lord wrote the letter and gave it to Left General. He then wrote another letter and summoned Right General, he said: "While you will deliver this letter to the Heaven Realm, request for the True King Ju of Ju Fang Celestial Race, I have a request for him to reincarnate my son into the Ju Fang Celestial Race. If it can be done, the two clans can be relatives."
Right General took the letter, and Heavenly King Shang suddenly said, "True King Ju values the purity of the Ju Fang Celestial Race's bloodline very much. The Realm Lord alone might not be enough to persuade the stubborn True King Ju. Tian Gan, take my letter and go together with Right General. Realm Lord, with us together, True King Ju will surely grant you your wish."
Prison Realm Realm Lord then thanked him.
Losing a child was a bad thing, but those in power could always turn bad things to their favor. If Fa Bisheng could be reincarnated into the Ju Fang Celestial Race, he would also be able to have a close relationship with the Ju Fang Celestial Race.
The Ju Fang Celestial Race was one of the Heaven Realm's supreme races, it would bring endless benefits to them.
It was also the reason why Heavenly King Shang decided to help out.
"How is the Realm Lord going to deal with the skeleton?" Heavenly King Shang asked, "If he rises to become one of the top ten, he will need to be reported to the Realm Monarch. At that point, it will be impossible to act against him anymore."
Prison Realm Realm Lord answered, "The Ancient Land of God Graves is filled with countless dangers, it won't be too difficult to kill one or two Qi Practitioners, would it?"
Heavenly King Shang smiled, "Not at all."
...
Ancient Land of God Graves. Song Realm.
Zhong Yue brought Bai Canghai, Ma Sansou and Goddess Shen Hou into the Song Realm again and immediately swam toward the palace in the sea. They arrived after a short while, and the ladies rushed to welcome everyone into the palace.
"This is where I rested in the past." Revisiting her old resting place, Goddess Shen Hou got a little excited when she heard the song she had left in the past. She smiled at the ladies and said, "Fate brought you to this place, and brought us together. If that's all fated, then don't be in a hurry to leave. I will stay here and teach the two of you for a few days."
Qiu Jin'er and Jun Sixie were puzzled.
Zhong Yue was overjoyed, he quickly pulled the two ladies to the side and explained to them. The two ladies were awestruck by Goddess Shen Hou's identity, and grew nervous around her.
Zhong Yue smiled and said, "Her teachings are a hundred times better than mine. You will follow her for some time, and she will bring you out of this place when the time comes."
"Senior martial brother, what about you?" Qiu Jin'er asked.
Zhong Yue smiled and said, "I want to compete with the experts of the many realms. I must make it to the top ten. So I can't stay here, I need to go to the outside world, and compete with the strong experts of the Prison Realm!"
He had been in the Bone Realm for seven or eight years. The starlight on the soul token was not enough for him to enter the top ten. Thus, he would need to head out and hunt for more.
Qiu Jin'er and Jun Sixie were definitely unable to enter the top ten. Moreover, it was already a good ending for them to be able to save their lives. Therefore, he needed to be the one that broke into the top ten and compete with the strong experts from all walks of life to get the chance to enter Zi Wei Galaxy.
"Junior martial brother, be more careful," Jun Sixie said.
Zhong Yue nodded, bringing Ma Sansou and Bai Canghai along and went out to the Ancient Land of God Graves.
It looked like it was necessary to carry out some bloody massacre in order to secure a place in the top ten. The Prison Realm had no good people anyway. But there are many experts, I still have to be careful so as not to be accidentally killed instead.
Zhong Yue asked Ma Sansou, "You are familiar with the Ancient Land of God Graves, are there any territories nearby?"
Ma Sansou was shocked and quickly said, "Senior Martial Brother Evil God plans to attack the territory of the other Qi Practitioners? This is absolutely a big no no! It is extremely dangerous, it's just like going against King Geng!"
Zhong Yue was surprised and asked, "Is it that those who build a territory are all like King Geng?"
"No, not that." Ma Sansou carefully said, "The Prison Realm's Qi Practitioners are often grouped in tens or more. Together, they would be able to build a territory. Other than the treasures and fortunes they can plunder from the lower realms, another purpose of building a territory is also to enslave the low-level livings of the lower realm. The living beings of the lower realm are often forced to worship the Qi Practitioners and when encountered with a strong enemy, these Qi Practitioners can blood sacrifice the lower realm's billions of living creatures to gain an appalling power!"
Zhong Yue startled, "Blood sacrifice the lower realm?"
"Exactly." Ma Sansou replied, "How many living beings are in the lower realms? A blood sacrifice of millions of lives can bestow the Qi Practitioner with the power of gods. If you sacrificed billions of the lives, the power bestowed upon them would be that of a Heavenly Deity's! That being said, it's extremely difficult to attack a territory! Senior Martial Brother Evil God, we were only able to break into King Geng's territory because King Geng was not there, and his followers didn't dare to blood sacrifice the lives of the Song Realm without permission. If they had indeed sacrificed the lives of the Song Realm, it wouldn't be that easy for you to kill them anymore."
Bai Canghai nodded, "I've met a strong person, one that goes by the name of Ming Shan. He is very strong and has over 70 followers. Ming Shan led us to attack a territory and when the Qi Practitioner that guarded the territory blood sacrificed the lives of the lower realm, all of us including Ming Shen were killed with me being the only exception. It is said that the Qi Practitioner blood sacrificed 30 million living beings in the lower realm."
Ma Sansou was shocked, he exclaimed, "Ming Shan is dead?"
Bai Canghai nodded, he replied, "That is the fourth team I followed. After Ming Shan's death, no Qi Practitioners are willing to take me in anymore."
Ma Sansou's face darkened and said, "Ming Shan is the rising star of the Prison Realm. I have heard several Dharma Kings speak highly of him, saying that he has a high chance of securing a place in top ten of Prison Realm. I didn't expect things to turn out this way…"
Zhong Yue snorted and said indifferently, "The power from the blood sacrifice is not one's own true strength. It's fine if one wielded it against the other Qi Practitioners, but that kind of trick is too basic to deal with me."
"Evil God, do not underestimate its power!" Ma Sansou quickly said, "There are countless lives in the lower realms. A constant blood sacrifice can bestow the lord of the territory with the power of a Heavenly Deity at anytime! Forcibly attacking a territory is no different to looking to die. It is better to roam around and see if there are any other lone Qi Practitioners."
Zhong Yue shook his head, "Where would there still be any lone Qi Practitioners roaming headlessly around? Enough talk. Just bring me to the closest territory. Rest assured, I know my limits. If there are any treasures we can find in the territory, they'll be all yours."
Left without a choice, Ma Sansou then led the way.
After a few days. They arrived outside of a certain territory. There were eight mountain ridges connected together by a palace in the middle. From afar, the palace looked like a dragon's head and the whole region looked as if there were eight dragons sharing the same head.
It was so peculiar that no matter from what direction, it felt like the dragon's head was staring at them.
"This is Qin Feng's territory. Qing Feng's strength is no weaker than Ming Shan, and he is one of those with high hopes of securing a place in the top ten Qi Practitioners of Prison Realm."
Ma Sansou said, "Senior Martial Brother Evil God, his territory is called the Eight Dragons Dominator Palace. There are eight paths to enter the palace, each filled with sealing formations. Inside the seals, there were the pseudo gods that were born within. These gods were evil in nature and were named Seal Gods. They have low intelligence and only allow passage through the paths when they are fed until full. In order to penetrate through to the palace, many of Qing Feng's followers were killed. And after they successfully claimed the palace, Qing Feng remained in it and guarded the palace himself. I heard that Shu Ye had his eyes on the palace as well and tried to claim it but failed and retreated."
Shu Ye came from a strong heritage was also a great talent like Li Tianxing, Fa Bisheng, and Jun Wudao.
Yet, Qingfeng was actually able to push back Shu Ye relying on the palace. This proved the palace's stunning strength!
Zhong Yue mulled for a moment and said, "You stay here, I will go and see."
He strode to one of the canyons, and saw the steep cliffs on both sides of the passage. The cliffs were covered with various seals carved by totems patterns. Evil spirits that were born within the sealing formations were called the Seal Gods. These Seal Gods would threaten the passing Qi Practitioners for food and if given nothing or insufficient, the Seal Gods would devour the Qi Practitioners instead.
These Seal God were unkillable and their appetites were big, that one or two Qi Practitioners wouldn't be enough for them. Thus, in order to get through the canyons, they would often suffer great losses.
"Hey, there is another delicious meal that just delivered himself to the door. But wait, it's just a fleshless skeleton, you can't even find a piece of meat on it!"
On the cliff, a Seal God suddenly leaped down. It has a green face, long and sharp fangs that were exposed in the air. It lunged toward Zhong Yue while laughing as it said, "But lucky for you, I am in the mood of changing my taste these days have changed!"
It leaped into the air, and all of a sudden, rays flashed out of Zhong Yue's eyes and burst into two dragons that sheared the Seal God into halves.
It was the [Dragon Shears]!
The Seal God yelled, and the two halves of its body flew back into the cliff before disappearing.
