Chapter 339: Dragon Nest (1/2)
It was impossible to budge!
Even shrunken down to the size of a human palm, the dragon palace didn’t shift a single inch, no matter how firmly Lu Yun yanked.
His Size Manipulation Formation was operating at full strength. It not only decreased the palace’s size, but also reduced the weight and energy within a hundredfold. After all, the formation was made from thirty-six thousand and five hundred Size Manipulation Talismans.
True to its reputation, this palace was indeed far from ordinary.
“Retrieve!”
The realms of yin and yang rumbled into action at Lu Yun’s roar. Power from the netherworld encased the miniature dragon palace and dragged it inexorably forward, but still stopped short of its goal.
“Still not enough eh? Combust!”
Not even the twin realms of yin and yang could force it inside the Gates of the Abyss!
Ｗithout wasting a second, Lu Yun ignited a goodwill fruit and unleashed the full might of the realms of yin and yang. They engulfed the palace in a terrifying suction force and dragged it into the netherworld.
Rumble...
The palace recovered its normal size the moment it entered the Gates of the Abyss, and the energy of death immediately infiltrated its halls and killed every single living being inside. Those who passed away in hell turned into Infernum all on their own; Lu Yun didn’t need to lift a finger.
“We’re leaving, right now!” Without wasting time to inspect the treasures stashed inside the palace, the governor took Qing Han and Su Xiaoxiao by the hands and left at once.
An empty defensive formation was the only thing left of the monumental palace. In front of it, there was even a plaque that read ‘North Sea, Home of Worms’ nailed to it. Henceforth, the North Sea’s ruling dynasty would be synonymous with fools and buffoons in the world of immortals.
……
“We did it, we actually did it!” Flushed with the heat of excitement, Qing Han’s eyes gleamed vividly. “To think we’d really… hehehe!”
Of course, he didn’t spell it out loud. They were still in the North Sea, and plenty of fish and plankton roamed the waters. Every one of them could turn into a spy at a moment’s notice.
“Yeah, we did it! And now we head to the skydragon tomb.” His expression as serene as still water, Lu Yun didn’t express too much excitement.
For him, taking the palace away was merely a means to strike a blow at the monster spirit court and distract them so much that they wouldn’t have the energy to deal with him. He would also never release the palace out of the netherworld ever again.
Beigong Xuan had certainly left backup measures inside the palace. If it were ever to exit the netherworld, the monster emperor would undoubtedly swoop down in the next second—an ability the North Sea dragon kings of the past had also possessed. The current Lu Yun didn’t know how to disable those measures just yet.
In any case, the Skydragon Pearl inside the skydragon tomb was his original goal for this journey!
……
It’d been more than a month since the emergence of the skydragon tomb. Too many had died or been injured inside, and even three dao immortals had fallen.
On the other hand, there truly was a boundless supply of treasures inside the tomb. All kinds of items long lost to the world had surfaced one after another, to say nothing of fragments of ancient sites. The heightened fervor incited countless immortals to join the treasure hunt, and within a short month, more than ten thousand people had charged into the tomb.
In this current age, immortals were very used to these tombs.
Every single one of them was equivalent to tremendous opportunity and fortune. In fact, the species and clans reigning at the top of the world of immortals, the dynasties ruling the nine majors, and the masters of the ten lands had all come to power thanks to these ancient tombs.
