879 The Bronze Palace… Opens (1/2)
A jet of gold light emerged. After the gold light vanished, a cute, little gold shrimp was revealed.
Its compound eyes rolled, falling onto Bu Fang. Then, It flew across the sky, sneaking toward the latter and perching on his shoulder.
”You little fellow, why are you here?” Bu Fang was skeptical. He lifted his hand, rubbing Shrimpy's head.
Shrimpy said nothing and simply spat out some bubbles.
Far away, Nethery was walking on the chain as she approached the bronze palace. When she saw Bu Fang, she gave him a slight nod, her face indifferent.
Oh, Nethery was here too?
It seemed she had brought Shrimpy here. But what were they doing here?
Bu Fang became more skeptical. Moreover, he was even more skeptical about another point—this place didn't allow people to fly, so how could Shrimpy fly around like that?
Not only did it allow Shrimpy to fly, but Shrimpy did it effortlessly.
Was it true that the rule did not apply to Shrimpy? And why was it ineffective?
Ao Bai looked at the loving Shrimp Ancestor on Bu Fang's shoulder, and his face turned more awkward.
That's our Shrimp Ancestor, not your pet!
The noble Shrimp Ancestor in the Endless Sea, how could he become a human's pet?!
The Shrimp Ancestor… was Ao Bai's ancestor!
The old man got up from the ground, his face still ferocious. He sternly gazed at Shrimpy.
The bronze palace forbade them from flying. How come that shrimp could fly?
The old man took a deep breath. All of a sudden, his eyes shrank.
Shrimpy soared from Bu Fang's shoulder, heading toward the bronze palace.
Then…
It entered the bronze palace, reaching the bowl of piping-hot Yang Chun Noodles with its fragrance permeating the entire place.
Shrimpy circled the Yang Chun Noodles once. Then, it leaped up, grabbed a fulgent noodle strand, and began to eat the noodle.
Bu Fang was bewildered.
The old man was dumbstruck.
Everybody looked baffled.
That bowl of noodles… People couldn't touch it, could they?
Why… Why could that shrimp touch it? What was going on here?
It could fly around the bronze palace and enter it…
This gold shrimp was so mysterious!
The old man, who was initially frightened, immediately laughed out loud!
Shrimpy ate the noodles. It meant that that bowl of noodles, which had been there for ten thousand years, was real! It wasn't just an illusion!
It meant he had chosen the right path. His transcendence was inside that palace!
He wanted to eat that noodles! He wanted to transcend!
The old man rolled and ran toward the bronze palace. Shortly, he reached the palace's door.
He lifted his hand to touch it, but it was still like the flower in the mirror or the moon in the water. He couldn't touch the bowl of noodles behind the door!
”Why? Why was it like this?” The old man was extremely indignant…
The body of the strongest demon king, which was kneeling by the door of the palace, had so many wisps of Nether energy swirling around it.
A moment later, the body inside the Nether energy suddenly shivered.
Amethyst Elder lifted his hand. The demon eye in his palm looked so excited.
Soon, he would occupy the body of the strongest demon king. As long as he possessed that body, he, the demon king of the demon eye clan, could subdue the entire Ruin Prison! And they could even invade the Earth Prison!
All of a sudden…
The demon eye in Amethyst Elder's palm quivered. It moved as black blood oozed from it.
The demon eye screeched as though it had seen something very terrifying. It looked frightened.
”No… Impossible! Why hasn't your spirit sea dried out yet?!”
Boom!
Amethyst Elder's body went stiff as the demon eye in his palm exploded. Black blood flowed from it.
His face paled.
Boom! Boom!
Sky-reaching Nether energy shot out as the body of the strongest demon king suddenly trembled.
A moment later, booms echoed loudly.
The strongest demon king began to move.
The old man kneeling by the bronze door stiffened. He stood up, looking at his side in disbelief.
Buzz...
A horrible aura expanded as if it wanted to tear the entire sky.
The kneeling figure lifted his head. His eyes were cold and indifferent.
”It's been… ten thousand years already?”
His voice echoed in the sky, causing everyone to shiver.
A moment later, the strongest demon king slowly got to his feet. His three-meter-tall body was towering and impressive.
The strongest demon king then surveyed the area.
”Oh… Still very lively,” the strongest demon king said. After that, his eyes caught onto Nethery's figure.
”Netherworld woman?”
Nethery nodded, her face emotionless. She did not look arrogant nor servile.
The strongest demon king nodded back. He said nothing but began to breathe, and Nether energy moved between his mouth and nostrils. His blood and true energy moved like dragons through his body.
The strongest expert of the Ruin Prison had awakened.
Shrimpy was still eating. After continuously nibbling on the Yang Chun Noodles, the bowl of noodles was finished.
A moment later, Shrimpy tumbled as if it was drunk. It swayed and moved. Eventually, it halted, then slumped on the ground, fast asleep. That shrimp was… drunk because of a bowl of noodles.
Boom!
The strongest demon king widened his eyes!
