Dragon-Marked War God

But this time, Jiang Chen had to adjust himself to his best condition, and he had to be extremely careful. Otherwise, once he alarmed anyone, it would be the same as walking into a trap. Although he was prepared to fight the Profound Connection Divine Palace, he still did not know just how strong they were.

“Even though the Palace Lord isn’t in the Profound Connection Divine Palace right now, the Second Palace Lord and the Third Palace Lord are both at the Half-step Divine Emperor Realm. If you truly want to confront them head-on, it will still be far too difficult.”

Qian Renji said with a serious face. She was quite worried about Jiang Chen. After all, this time he planned to break with the Profound Connection Divine Palace completely, with no room left to turn back.

“Two Half-step Divine Emperors? Give me enough time, and holding my own against them isn’t impossible.”

Jiang Chen said in a low voice. Qian Renji and the others were deeply shaken. Since Jiang Chen dared to say such words, he must have his own plans. It was definitely not groundless talk.

“Besides that, there are more than ten elders like Lord Lin under them, all at the Late Hierarch Realm. There are more than fifty mentors at the Mid Hierarch Realm, dozens of Early Hierarch disciples, and thousands of Divine King experts. They are the pillars of the entire Profound Connection Divine Palace.”

Qian Renji said again. She clearly had great respect for the Profound Connection Divine Palace’s strength. After all, it was a super power that had existed in Xing Yin County for tens of millions of years. And these were only its strength on the surface. What kind of hidden foundation it truly had, no one could know.

“It really is quite a headache. I’ll give it my all.”

Jiang Chen nodded silently. These terrifying experts were enough to make anyone’s scalp go numb. The eight Hierarch elders of the Soul-Leaving Sect in particular could only smile bitterly again and again. Now they could only follow Jiang Chen and fight to the death. This guy was simply seeking death, but they had already boarded the pirate ship, and Jiang Chen would never give them a chance to back out.

“I’m coming, dead monkey. I absolutely won’t let all these years you’ve been locked up go for nothing.”

Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes slightly and stared coldly in the direction of the Profound Connection Divine Palace.

In the Heavenly Dragon Prison, the Third Palace Lord said with a smile:

“Second Brother, it shouldn’t be long now before you completely refine this guy, right?”

“It’ll take a little more time, but it should be soon. This guy is stubborn, but refining him is only a matter of time. When I’ve completely refined him, his soul will be completely extinguished.”

The Second Palace Lord said calmly, his expression full of pride and confidence. Yet during this period, that demon monkey had given him plenty of trouble. The guy’s soul would rather die than submit. No matter how harsh the torture, it could not make him give in. If the Second Palace Lord had not been strong enough, refining this demon monkey would have been far from easy.

“Then I must congratulate you, Second Brother, hehe. You’ll have a double blessing. Once you subdue this demon monkey, your strength will definitely rise to another level. And now that the power of the thunder source is almost completely condensed, your breakthrough to the Divine Emperor Realm is just around the corner.”

The Third Palace Lord couldn’t help sighing in admiration.

“Don’t worry. Once I break through to the Divine Emperor Realm, I’ll definitely help you take down the demonic beast in Spectre Valley as soon as possible and help you break through as well. With Big Brother away on his own, the two of us need to help each other even more to become stronger.”

The Second Palace Lord nodded silently.

The Third Palace Lord’s eyes lit up, and he said in delight:

“Then I’ll thank you in advance, Second Brother, hehe. You’d better hurry up and break through, so that I can take off together with you.”

“It’s not quite a double blessing. But once I subdue that demon monkey and control his soul power, he will definitely be of great use in the future. As for the thing in the Thunder Cloud Zone, it’s not that easy to deal with either. We’ve had those disciples refining the Heavenly Lightning source for millions of years, and we’ve finally made some progress. Once their Heavenly Lightning sources are completely refined, there will certainly be a life-and-death battle between me and the Heavenly Lightning source. Even so, having lost most of its thunder source, that Heavenly Lightning has fallen very low. It can’t possibly be my match.”

The Second Palace Lord said proudly. Everything was ready except for the east wind. Before long he would be able to refine the Heavenly Lightning source, and then the Heavenly Lightning on Lightning-Gathering Peak would be completely under his control. Once he had completely devoured the thunder source that had resisted him for tens of millions of years, his breakthrough to the Divine Emperor Realm would be just around the corner.

“Reporting to the Second Palace Lord, there’s a woman named Wu Ningzhu outside the Heavenly Dragon Prison asking to see you.”

A low voice echoed in the Heavenly Dragon Prison. The Second Palace Lord frowned deeply. Who was this person? He didn’t know her. Besides, was he someone anyone could see just because they wanted to?

“I won’t see her.”

The Second Palace Lord said coldly.

“She says she wants to ask the Second Palace Lord about Jiang Chen and the others who left for their expedition.”

The old man guarding the tower passed the message to the Second Palace Lord again.

“Wait! You said she wants to ask about Jiang Chen? Fine, let her wait for me outside the Heavenly Dragon Tower.”

The Second Palace Lord narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice.

“Third Brother, go and cultivate first. That dead monkey is already at the end of his rope. You don’t need to watch him day and night. I understand your intentions. Three days from now, guard me while I cultivate. I’m going to fight that Heavenly Lightning source to the death. Whether I can break through to the Divine Emperor Realm will be decided in this one move.”

“Alright, I’ll do as you say, Second Brother.”

With that, the two of them quickly vanished from the Heavenly Dragon Prison.

“Little Chen, I never thought that at this moment we’d end up separated forever, life and death apart. Hahaha, how sad, how pitiful. I couldn’t even find my own father. I can’t accept this!”

On the seventeenth level of the Heavenly Dragon Prison, the person tied to the stone rack was none other than Dragon Shisan.

Dragon Shisan’s hair was disheveled and his face filthy. He was covered in blood, and his eyes were unfocused. Apart from his persistence, which was the same as ever, his entire body had been seriously injured by the Second Palace Lord, without a single patch of intact skin. What had supported him for more than a hundred years until now was only a sliver of obsession: the wish to stay alive and fight side by side with his brother, the wish to stay alive and find out the truth about his father! But from this moment on, Dragon Shisan was finally starting to fail. That guy kept devouring his soul power and kept compressing his body, so his soul was continuously weakened. Before long, when his soul power had been completely worn away, his soul would perish. At that moment, he would most likely become the Second Palace Lord’s puppet.

Dragon Shisan refused to accept it. Though his obsession had held on all along, that bastard was far too strong. He had spent a hundred years cutting away at Dragon Shisan’s soul bit by bit, without giving him the slightest chance to resist. He was meticulous and scheming, and every moment he wanted to make Dragon Shisan his servant. But Dragon Shisan would rather die than submit!
