AST 2077 - The Demon Palace? The Darknight Demon King and the Giant Demon King (2/2)

As Qing Shui was about to enter, Shen Huang grabbed onto him and exclaimed, “It’s dangerous!”

“Are you worried about me? So you do care for me,” Qing Shui grinned, looking at the woman who resembled a Goddess.

“You’re so shameless, be careful!” Shen Huang let go of him.

Qing Shui clasped her hand gently before entering the formation.

In an instant, the entire palace appeared to be disturbed by ripples. This continued for a while as the palace began to reveal its true appearance. The four walls were revealing what they contained within. Qing Shui stood by a distant pillar which was snapped. It revealed that one out of the countless pillars inside was indeed the eye of the formation.

Unless the eye of the formation was broken, the formation would strangle everything. Even those who entered the formation would have to look for another way out. Moreover, every step forward entailed thousands of choices that had to be made. Everywhere, there was a massive chance of being strangled. It was, after all, an immensely powerful formation, and those who were within would be in a predicament.

Shen Huang walked to Qing Shui’s side and pointed at a distant wall, saying, “This is a Demon Lord’s Palace, probably one from an archaic past.”

Qing Shui nodded, looking at the portraits on the walls. For every fixed distance, there would be a portrait with a name written on top.

The Darknight Demon King Tu Lang, upon activating his Art, it would cause everything within a 50-kilometer radius to be covered in darkness. It was an absolute darkness; within the dark fog, even night vision was useless. In this darkness, an opponent would lose half of his combat strength while the Darknight Demon King’s abilities would be twice as effective.

Looking at the portrait, Qing Shui was inwardly shocked. The Darknight Demon Lord was extremely powerful! On top of that, Qing Shui read that the so-called dark fog was actually poisonous. Although it wasn’t extremely toxic, it was still a terrifying slow-acting poison. Over time, it would lower one’s reflexes and cause hallucinations.

The Giant Demon King Biao Yong–someone who could transform into a Demon King bigger than a mountain, with a body like diamond and seemingly infinite strength. Even if an ordinary attack made it through his defense, the mitigated damage would be so weak as if he were being gently pricked by embroidery needles. This was because he had a massive figure and was extremely tough. Even swords couldn’t pierce his diamond-like skin and due to his size, even if a sword could cut through him he wouldn’t feel a thing.

Thinking of the giant, Qing Shui thought about how hard it would be to deal with him. Though different from the marine tentacle monsters, they were equally mystical and their strength was equally terrifying.

Following that, Qing Shui saw many more frightening Demon Kings from an ancient era. All of them had their hands stained with fresh blood, resembling evil spirits.

It was precisely these opponents that the Battle Gods in the Battle God Palace fought against; their mission was to exterminate these Demon Kings.

Demon Kings were undeniably the darlings of heaven and earth. They perfected their arts swiftly and were many times faster than other fighters. For a long time, the Battle Gods were suppressed. Qing Shui didn’t know if these Demon Kings had descendants in the Nine Continents. Even if they did, they would be unable to reach the same level of power as the Demon Kings in the portraits.

Qing Shui felt a little bit anxious as he was also one of the descendants of the Battle Gods. After all, he was nowhere near the Golden Battle God’s level. If the real Golden Battle God, the leader of the Battle Gods from the ancient era, used the Golden Battle Halberd, he would be able to cause an extreme damage. Even monsters like the Giant Demon King would have exploded in one hit, unless the Giant Demon King had reached the pinnacle of all demons.

This was a Demon Palace indeed, the gathering ground for the Demon Kings. They were dead, but the portraits were a way of remembering them, who were probably the founders of the Palace. However, the Palace didn’t exist for long as its inheritance was severed. As to what happened exactly at that time, Qing Shui had no idea.
