Chapter 731: Chapter 409: The Two of You Must Take Full Responsibility (Vote for Monthly Pass)
“Have they gone mad?”
“Why is this happening?”
A group of people had never seen such a riot before, only to hear Old Black Dog gasping for breath, saying, “This means we’re on the right track; they’re panicking, there’s something ahead making them panic.”
“The root of disaster! It must be the root of disaster!”
Their goal was precisely to eradicate the source of the calamity that caused the corpse disaster; seeing the monsters in the Underground Palace so anxious, didn’t this precisely indicate that they were getting close to their target?
“Don’t stop! Keep running!”
Li Zhen had always been fighting on the front lines, and even with the healing of two Goddess Doctors, he still suffered severe injuries that he could not recover from in a short period of time.
This was because he had used many forbidden arts, putting his body in a state of overdrive multiple times.
In this world, all mysterious powers had only two sources: Miracle Power and Dimensional Power.
Although in essence they were the same thing, the Dimensional Sovereign acted like a checkpoint, filtering the process, causing many people to choose to borrow power from a Different Dimension rather than directly confront the Miracle Entity, akin to the Dao itself.
Li Zhen was a martial artist, using a power system known as Internal Energy and True Qi.
It originated from the realm of nothingness, and it was the Miracle Power of the Martial Ancestor, one of the Twenty Kings of the Eastern Empire. However, since Li Zhen was not the Child of Miracle of the Martial Ancestor, his True Qi was entirely provided by a Different Dimension.
This was a trade-off, and everyone present was, in fact, in a similar situation to Li Zhen, trading with Dimensional Creatures.
Since it was a trade-off, there inevitably came a price.
Li Zhen already felt that his body was collapsing, and something akin to willpower, spirit, and soul, was opening a gateway. Beyond that door was the world from which his power originated.
‘If it comes to the necessity,’ Li Zhen thought, ‘even at the cost of death, I must let the creatures of that world come through to stop them.’
Li Zhen had already established a connection with the Dimension; he did not know what a dimension was, nor had he the concept of it, but he was clear about the higher levels of power.
When push came to shove, he would dare to do anything!
“Splash!”
Suddenly, everyone felt a bright flash before their eyes, and the space in front of them expanded from narrow to wide; looking up, they saw an astoundingly magnificent palace beyond imagination.
“Not good!”
The Corpse Bride’s face changed abruptly, and Fengdu felt the same way, saying, “Disaster!”
“So, this is also part of the game?”
Feeling the remorse conveyed by the two, Bai Luo opened his eyes; he no longer needed to sense those people because they now stood at the entrance of the underground palace where he was.
“What are you doing?!”
Ying Muyao’s temper had improved a lot over the recent years due to injuries, but those who didn’t know her back in the days wouldn’t know that she had forcefully carved out a place for herself in the Northern Continent as the Empress of the Eastern Empire.
“Big sister…”
“Sorry, so sorry.”
When the Empress of the East got angry, Fengdu and the Corpse Bride quickly bowed their heads like two schoolchildren who had made mistakes, not daring to look directly into her eyes.
If facing Mu Yunji, they might still have the courage to fight, but against Ying Muyao, they didn’t entertain the notion at all.
“Indeed, you have gone too far,” Mu Yunji spoke up, “You led people to Duke Yatun’s area. What if those despicable people offend him? What then?”
“It was my mistake.”
Trying to solve the problem with a mere apology, Ying Muyao indicated that things weren’t that easy.
If Ying Muyao had been the one offended, she might have dealt with it leniently, but Bai Luo was her brother.
Her treasured pearl (figuratively) had been tampered with – that was intolerable!
“It’s all right.”
Bailuo lacked the arrogance of the Master of Miracles: “I actually find it quite interesting.”
Bailuo was indifferent, standing with his hands behind his back in the great hall of the Underground Palace, with Fusang and Yue Gui already kneeling on the ground, burying their faces.
“You may rise as well.”
“We dare not.”
Fusang and Yue Gui already knew they had erred, as the Corpse Bride had communicated to them that they must protect Bailuo’s Exquisite Corpse at all costs.
If there were even the slightest damage, the two of them would most certainly face the severest of punishments.
Meanwhile, Fengdu and the Corpse Bride had reached a consensus: in a critical moment, between Bailuo’s incarnation and this realm, they would unhesitatingly choose the latter.
This also meant that if anyone truly touched Bailuo’s Exquisite Corpse, then Fusang and others would unleash a force beyond what the will of the realm could withstand, completely destroying this world!
“Miya, are you interested?”
“Me?”
Miya had always been by Bailuo’s side, not seeming like a Miracle Person, but more like a little maid.
Of course, in Miya’s eyes, she was indeed Bailuo’s little maid, forever and always.
“If Brother Bai Luo wishes to see it, then I can perform for you.”
Having mastered new powers, Miya had recently been seeking advice from her uncle on how to wield the power of the Dao Fruit, and now she had some insights.
If the Dragon of Miracles were to awaken again and bestow its blessings, Miya anticipated a significant breakthrough.
“Your Highness Yatun!”
However, Fusang and Yue Gui pleaded: “If you intervene personally, it will damage our master’s dignity once more. Please leave it to us. Please must…”
The two women dared not command Bailuo, refraining from saying the words “deign to watch from the side.”
To presume to instruct the Master of Miracles—surely that would be akin to not wanting to live.
“That is acceptable.”
Bailuo, now a man of status and station, had no reason to stoop to mingling with trash who weren’t even of the Child of Miracle’s standing; that would be beneath him.
“However, I do have one request,” Bailuo said, “make it thrilling. Can you do that?”
Seeing Bailuo agree, the two women immediately breathed a sigh of relief, exchanged glances, and in unison responded, “We will not disappoint you!”
“This place is…”
The group had been navigating through a labyrinth of underground mazes, but now had somehow arrived in a vast space, catching them off guard for a moment.
“An Underground Palace, this vast?”
Li Zhen was also shocked, his eyes wide, incredulously staring at the massive Imperial Mausoleum that seemed to float in the subterranean space: “Floating? What kind of technique is this?”
Using Internal Energy, Li Zhen could fly, but everything, even such a vast Underground Palace, was floating mid-air.
Such a technique, to say it was the work of Immortals wouldn’t be an exaggeration.
“The monsters have stopped,” the Goddess Doctor, out of breath, turned back to see all the monsters retreating: “Thank goodness, we took the right path. This place, this is where we need to be.”
“A meteorite?”
Different from Li Zhen, Old Black Dog had experience with tomb raiding, having seen a similar scene in the Mausoleum of Emperor Qin: “It must be caused by meteorites…”
“No.”
Daoist Lin hurriedly knelt down, feeling the sand and stones on the ground: “This phenomenon isn’t due to a meteorite from outer space.”
“I sense a tremendous power, just ahead…”
What do you think?
