C274 The Palace in the Secret Realm
C274 The Palace in the Secret Realm
There must be countless Heavenly Treasures in the palace that could appear in the depths of secret realm.
Lee Hui and the others chose to attack the corner of the palace if they wanted to monopolize the treasures in the palace. They hoped to break the corner of the palace and enter the hidden underground palace, then move the treasures away as soon as possible.
Perhaps they had triggered some kind of mechanism during their attack, but they had only attacked once. The corner of the palace shook violently, causing the underground palace to slowly rise. Finally, the entire palace appeared in the valley.
Because the shaking caused by the appearance of the palace was too intense, everyone within several hundred kilometers of the valley could feel it. This attracted the attention of many disciples of the Inner Sect, causing more and more disciples to rush over.
This was the reason why Chu Zhongtian rarely saw any warriors.
The palace that rose from the ground was entirely red. Countless red liquid flowed within the palace, giving people a strange feeling.
However, the disciples that gathered here were all Qi Transforming Period Stage warriors. They weren't afraid of the palace's strangeness. The only thing that made them helpless was that there seemed to be some kind of formation guarding the outer perimeter of the palace. They were temporarily unable to enter the palace.
The arrogant disciples of the Inner Sect would definitely not be satisfied if they were unable to enter the palace that might contain countless rare treasures. All of them began to launch their strongest attacks at the formation, hoping that they could break it. They entered the palace.
It had been three full days since they started attacking, but the formation in the outer perimeter of the palace still hadn't been broken.
As for why the Eighth Grade Blood Demon in Third Layer of the Secret Realm suddenly disappeared, it was because the red liquid inside the palace could trigger the reaction of the Blood Devil when it just emerged from the ground.
No matter where the Blood Devil was, no matter how high or low the grade of the Blood Devil was, it would automatically approach the palace. This was also the reason why the Blood Devil in Third Layer of the Secret Realm had suddenly disappeared.
When Zhang Ya'nan mentioned the attraction of the red liquid to the Blood Devil, Chu Zhongtian suddenly remembered that in second Layer of the Secret Realm, even the red liquid hidden in the underground stone room could still attract the Blood Devil Head's attention.
"What a pity!" When it came to the formation that they had been attacking the palace for three days, Zhang Ya'nan suddenly thought of the green stone door that they had been helpless against when they were in the secret realm of Purgatory City. It was the formation that Chu Zhongtian had found a way to break open the stone door.
The current situation was similar to the past, but what made him feel pity was... Even if Chu Zhongtian had a way to break open the palace's defense, they still couldn't do it. Because they lacked the top combat strength that could deter the other disciples.
If Chu Zhongtian opened the palace's defensive formation, they were afraid that it would be impossible for them to enter the palace. In the end, all the benefits would be taken away by the other disciples.
Regarding Zhang Ya'nan's pity, Chu Zhongtian knew what was going on after thinking for a moment. He had the same attitude towards this matter.
However, once Dongfang Yongping had fully recovered his strength, they would have the ability to compete with him.
Of course, Chu Zhongtian wasn't sure if he could break open the defensive formation in the palace. After all, Elder Huang had been away from the palace for some time now, and he didn't know anything about the formation.
"Senior Brother Zhang, you don't need to feel pity. There might still be a turning point in this matter." Initially, he wanted Dongfang Yongping to recover his strength in a short period of time, so that he wouldn't give up on the idea of fighting for the treasures in the palace. A powerful aura suddenly rose from the tent not far away, interrupting his explanation.
"Senior Brother has recovered!" Zhang Ya'nan felt the strong aura rising from the tent. His eyes widened, and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face. Dongfang Yun'er's face revealed a surprised expression.
"Let's go! Let's congratulate senior brother for recovering his strength and once again wreaking havoc in the Blood Demon Secret Realm!" Facing the shocked Zhang Ya'nan and the surprised Dongfang Yun'er, Chu Zhongtian walked towards the tent with a calm expression.
As the aura in the tent grew stronger and stronger, the temporary tent was directly blown away by the powerful aura, revealing Dongfang Yongping who was inside the tent.
The energy rising from Dongfang Yongping's body did not last long. When everyone surrounded the tent that was lifted up, he had already retracted his energy and looked at everyone with a smile.
Facing Dongfang Yongping who had recovered his strength, other than Chu Zhongtian, everyone present had surprised expressions on their faces.
After all, the strongest Dongfang Yongping was the backbone of their group. He was the guarantee that everyone would be able to run amok in the Third Layer of the Secret Realm. Therefore, everyone was pleasantly surprised that he had fully recovered his strength!
However, Chu Zhongtian had a feeling that something was wrong when faced with Dongfang Yongping who had fully recovered his strength. The Qi that Dongfang Yongping was emitting just now hadn't reached its peak. It was only a little stronger than when he broke through to the Half-step Essence Gathering Stage in the Cavern, which was left behind by a peerless expert in secret realm.
A puzzled expression emerged on Chu Zhongtian's face. Dongfang Yongping soon realized that he had found out about it. He quickly found out that Chu Zhongtian suspected his current condition, so he shook his head slightly at Chu Zhongtian. He signaled him not to say anything, and not to ask anything.
"Senior brother, you have really recovered all of your strength!" When Dongfang Yongping withdrew his Qi and stood up from the ground, Zhang Ya'nan quickly took a few steps forward and asked in surprise.
Dongfang Yongping nodded and did not explain much.
"Great! Then we have the chance to fight for the treasures in the palace." Zhang Ya'nan said excitedly after getting Dongfang Yongping's confirmation.
Zhang Ya'nan's reminder reminded Dongfang Yongping of Chu Zhongtian's understanding of the formation. He looked at Chu Zhongtian with anticipation.
"Senior brother, let's talk while walking!" Without responding to Dongfang Yongping's expectant look, Chu Zhongtian signaled the group to head to the palace in the valley first.
"Let's go!" Chu Zhongtian's signal let Dongfang Yongping know that he had something to say to him. Therefore, he indicated for everyone to follow behind them and rush towards the valley that appeared in the palace.
"Senior brother, how much of your strength can you unleash?" Chu Zhongtian asked in a low voice as he temporarily put some distance between them and the group.
"90%!" Dongfang Yongping did not hide anything from Chu Zhongtian and told him the truth.
"Can you defeat the Zhu Yan who ambushed you?" Chu Zhongtian was only a Seventh Layer Peak of the Body Refining Period, so he didn't know the difference between High Rank of the Qi Transforming Period and High Rank of the Qi Transforming Period. Therefore, he didn't know how strong Dongfang Yongping, who had recovered to the ninth level, was.
"We can fight evenly within a hundred strikes, and I can defeat him within a thousand strikes, but I don't think it's possible for me to kill him!" After some consideration, Dongfang Yongping made a conservative estimate.
"That's good!" In other words, Dongfang Yongping was still at the peak of Half-step Essence Gathering Stage. Chu Zhongtian finally let out a sigh of relief.
