Chapter 45: Divine Dragon Palace
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Those who could operate an airship in Hidden Dragon Isle were not one to mess with.
“It’s His Highness the Second Prince.”
Yao Tianxiong frowned at the sight of the airship. The arrival of more Powerhouses here would turn up the heat in the competition. With Tian Wuji joining in, it would be more challenging to contend.
Although they were Super Geniuses of Tian Jin Empire, they dared not cross the line with Tian Jin Empire’s prince.
“Yao Tianxiong, Zhou Tianjiao, you guys are one step ahead of me. How is it? Report the situation to me.”
With an air of haughtiness, Tian Wuji stared down at Yao Tianxiong’s group in a commanding position as though he was a king on high. Assuming such a posture made many Powerhouses displeased with him.
“We just got here so we don’t really know,” Zhou Tianjiao faintly replied as he hid his displeasure within.
Even though he was unhappy, it was not the time nor place to act out his emotions. No one in Tian Jin Empire was bold enough to defy the empire that housed countless Powerhouses.
“Oh, you don’t know.
“You, explain the situation.”
Tian Wuji turned his gaze to another Powerhouse. The faces of Warriors beneath hardened at his demanding tone, spurring a heavy atmosphere that could be cut through with a knife.
“F*ck you, Tian Wuji, get your *ss down here. I’ll whack you until your mother can’t recognize you. You’re only a forsaken son who has no power in Tian Jin Empire. How dare you throw your weight about in front of me?”
Bei Ao of the Southern Empire’s Ten Thousand Demons Sect ran his mouth out loud. As a favored son of the Southern Empire, he would not be treated as a servant.
Tian Jin Empire’s Powerhouses may be afraid of stepping on Tian Wuji’s toes, but that did not include the Warriors of the Southern Empire.
“Die.”
Tian Wuji was stunned but his face was quickly clouded with animosity. As a killing intent flashed past his eyes, Tian Wuji raised his arm without warning and slammed a peerless Spiritual Equipment towards Bei Ao.
Many Warriors were in dismay as the atmosphere quivered as though it was about to tear apart. The strike of a Warrior King was indeed revering.
Tian Wuji had the tolerance for many things but saying that he was not in power was his sore spot. Sure, out of the numerous princes in Tian Jin Empire, he was only a forsaken son but opening up his old wounds flipped his lid.
“Heavenly Demon’s Body, break.”
Bei Ao looked towards the Warrior King’s peerless Spiritual Equipment with eyes of disdain. Circulating his True Qi, Bei Qi turned into a thirty-foot tall demonic beast at the explosion of great demonic energy. The huge body and sturdy defense left quite a visual impact.
“Bam.”
A giant fist violently crashed onto Tian Wuji’s attack. When the explosion sounded, the two attacks disappeared into a burst of forces in the air.
Based on that one move, the duo’s abilities were on par with one another. The attack from Warrior Kings left countless Warrior Spirits shaking in the knees.
“Humph, watch your back.”
Although he failed in his attempt, Tian Wuji did not intend to continue the battle. Plenty of Powerhouses were present and his purpose was to search for treasure. Attaining this treasure would allow him to rise in power and gain control of Tian Jin Empire.
“Swish, swish.”
No one uttered another word after the battle between two Warrior Kings had ended. From time to time, whistling noises passed through the sky as numerous powerhouses bolted over.
Those who were able to make it here were Warrior Spirit Powerhouses and disciples of super-sects. There were also many Warrior Kings.
“Krung.”
An omnipotent energy soared skyward from the peaceful lake which caused the entire lake to tremble and oppressed over a thousand Powerhouses.
“This is the eighth time.”
This astounding energy exploded in the air before it gradually disappeared.
A multitude of Warriors started to engage in a discussion. This energy shock had been ongoing for the eighth time and it came up once every two to three days. This phenomenon confirmed many Powerhouses’ belief that an amazing treasure was present.
“It’s the eighth time. It should come up again one more time before Divine Dragon Palace opens. I’m lucky that I made it in time.”
Li Lingtian quickly unleashed his motion skill before he soon arrived at a spot near the lake. As he looked at the lake, he was in shock to find that many Warriors were gathered there.
The number of Warriors amassed surpassed a thousand, and each of them was at least a Tier Five or Six Warrior Spirit. Not to mention, there were also nine Warrior King powerhouses there.
A while back, Li Lingtian had flown Northwest in search of Divine Dragon Palace after taking a break. While on the way, he encountered several top Geniuses who also took flight in the same direction.
Based on his experience, he was right on the money in terms of direction. He had eliminated demonic beasts and slaughtered blundering Warrior Spirits along the way.
“I wonder what treasure is hidden in Divine Dragon Palace, even Nine Yang Sacred Lord took it to heart,” Li Lingtian mumbled to himself with smiling eyes.
From where he was, he spotted disciples from Misty Pavilion, Green Jade Sect, Sky Cloud Sect, and Radiant Sect.
The Warriors from Sky Dragon Empire were, no doubt, fewer amid these masters. Even Radiant Sect and Green Jade Sect were second-rates compared to other empires.
After making a note of all the powerful Warriors, Li Lingtian sought out a hidden spot to meditate and rest. The Divine Dragon Palace should make an appearance when the next sign presented itself.
The wait was three days. Three days had passed before the calm lake churned in turbulence.
“Wham.”
“Whoosh.”
An impressive energy soared in the sky. This time, the entire Hidden Dragon Isle shook as the lake waters towered sky-high following the energy.
Many nearby Warriors were swept into the lake waters and in the blink of an eye, the mighty water pillar took the lives of these Warrior Spirits. Aghast, the remaining Warriors withdrew to a distance in a hurry.
This energy was stronger than the former eight times. With this, Li Lingtian opened his eyes that were twinkling in excitement.
The astonishing energy had blown up the lake and it uncovered a silvery radiance in the center. Although the radiance was the size of ten feet, it grew more brilliant by the second.
Soon, the ten-foot-tall silvery radiance had expanded to a thousand feet in circumference. In fact, it was not a radiance but a silver palace.
This silver palace of a hundred-yard in height towered amid the lake. Given its silver exterior, it was unknown what was used to construct the palace.
The palace had a pitch-black gate that was about thirty feet tall and fifteen feet wide.
“Divine Dragon Palace has appeared.”
“Divine Dragon Palace finally made its appearance.”
“Silence. Everybody, think of a way to open the gate.”
“Let’s join forces, or else our wait for a century would go to waste.”

Many Warriors bubbled over with excitement. After all, they were here, on Hidden Dragon Isle that only opened once every century, for Divine Dragon Palace. Now that Divine Dragon Palace was within reach, they had to figure out a way to get in.
“Wham.”
It was only ten minutes later that the soaring energy and churning lake surface resumed its peacefulness.
However, a demonic energy spread about as if a bomb was detonated in the air. The demonic energy had a crushing effect on countless Warriors.
With that said, Powerhouses who were inferior to Tier Five Warrior Spirits were immediately crushed to death. Appalled, the remaining Warriors quickly pulled away to a distance but to their disappointment, they found that it was impossible to make a dash outside three miles.
“What a terrifying demonic energy.”
“This is the repression of an almighty Demonic Master.”
“Hiss.”
Many surviving Warriors stared at the repression in the air with pale faces. This repression of such omnipotent demonic energy was difficult to fend off from the outside, let alone inside Divine Dragon Palace.
“It’s so powerful that the weak who are lower than a Tier Five Warrior Spirit would be crushed to death.”
Under the oppression of this repression, Li Lingtian was too forced to withdraw from his cultivation. He stared at the repression in shock. This repression was almost substantial, taking the form of a heavy mist.
However, the Heaven and Earth Reincarnation in his body, as well as his powerful Flaming Sacred Body, were unaffected by this repression.
With the Immemorial Ice Crystal and Fire Dragon’s Heart dissolved in his body, his improved constitution built up resistance towards the repression.
Within his vision, he could only see thirty-odd Tier Nine peak in perfection Warrior Spirits, seventeen Warrior Kings, and ten-odd masters who were equipped with treasures left by the lake.
“Sigh.”
Li Lingtian could only sigh at the deaths of low level Warriors from Sky Cloud Sect and other sects in Sky Dragon Empire.
With the majority under Tier Five Warrior Spirits crushed to death, there were only a handful of Warriors who were left.
At the lakeside, the sixty-odd super masters stared solemnly at Divine Dragon Palace. These masters would be the strongest existence to enter Hidden Dragon Isle..
