Chapter 335: Entering the secret realm, Is this the Dragon Palace?
Li Ran looked at the rock wall in front of him.
There was a faint white light on it. This was a unique symbol of the secret realm.
It seemed that it was not a trap but a part of the secret realm test.
The secret realm was an independent s.p.a.ce connected to the vast earth through some sort of medium or formation.
These s.p.a.ces had different shapes and sizes.
Burning Heaven Emperor’s inheritance that he had experienced in the hundred thousand mountains before was a medium-sized secret realm.
The s.p.a.ce inside was vast, and there were several checkpoints to test the abilities of cultivators.
And this was clearly a small secret realm.
Because the area was not large, they could not set up too many. They could only combine the unique environment to select the people who were qualified to enter.
Li Ran rubbed his chin. “Use the formation to attract the sea demon beasts… That’s not a bad idea, but it’s hard to control beasts’ strength.”
The beast tide just now seemed terrifying, but most of their strength was only at the Golden Core and Nascent Soul realm, which was why he could be easily dealt with.
If any Heavenly Tribulation demon beasts were drawn, they would probably have to leave with Yue Jianli.
“However, this level of beast tide is just a benefit to me.”
Just now, Li Ran had used Sword Qi to envelop the soul-devouring black mist as he slaughtered the demons while absorbing soul energy. His soul had been steadily improving.
Including the Spirit Devouring Demon from before, he had already devoured two Deity Transformation souls, as well as countless Nascent Souls and Deity Transformation demons.
Although the soul power of demon beasts was not as abundant as that of cultivators, it was more than enough.
The soul force in his sea of consciousness had reached a whole new level!
Under the influence of soul force, the Heaven Seizing Cultivation Technique began to run faster and faster. It was getting closer and closer to the mid-stage of Deity Transformation realm.
“Comfortable.”
Li Ran sighed inwardly.
At this moment, Yue Jianli walked over.
She stared blankly at the entrance of the secret realm.
Li Ran curiously asked, “Chief Yue, what are you thinking?”
Yue Jianli snapped back to her senses and shook her head.
Li Ran asked curiously, “Have you entered the secret realm many times?”
Yue Jianli looked at him seriously. “Quite a few, but the deepest impression is only once.”
Li Ran was slightly taken aback and quickly understood.
The other party was naturally referring to the hundred thousand mountains. The Burning Heaven Emperor’s secret realm that he had entered with her was also the same experience that had completely bound the fate of the two.
Cough! Cough!
Looking at her black and white eyes, Li Ran cleared his throat and awkwardly said, “That… Let’s hurry and enter.”
A hint of a smile flashed across Yue Jianli’s eyes. Without saying anything else, she nodded. “Alright.”
Then, she took the initiative to hold his hand.
Two walked into the white light.
Seeing this, Bai Jiangye and the other two hurriedly followed them.
Although their condition hadn’t completely recovered, they couldn’t care less.
They had even managed to withstand the demon tide. How could they possibly give up the opportunity?
As the last figure entered the white light, the formation gradually stopped functioning, and the depths of the sea became quiet again.
It was as if they had pa.s.sed through a dark tunnel. After an unknown period, their vision suddenly became clear.
Li Ran and Yue Jianli stepped onto solid ground.
Looking at the scene before them, the two of them frowned slightly.
They were in a dilapidated palace.
The entire palace based on a light blue color. Even the bricks on the ground reflected a faint blue light.
The surroundings were already in tatters, with ruins and broken walls everywhere. There were even many places that had collapsed.
There were many dark red marks on the ground and walls as if they were blood splashing.
This place seemed to have experienced a fierce battle, but there was not a single corpse.
“It doesn’t look like an inheritance, but rather a battlefield. I wonder what the place is this?”
Li Ran said, “This is the Dragon Palace.”
“Dragon Palace?” Yue Jianli was stunned. “How do you know?”
Li Ran smiled as he pointed to the top of his head. “Isn’t that what’s written.”
Yue Jianli looked up and saw a black plaque with two large blue characters on it.
Dragon Palace.
Although the words were not bad, the signboard was crooked and almost fell off.
It didn’t look dignified but rather comical.
At this moment, the others also teleported in. When they saw the scene in front of them, their expressions became a bit puzzled.
This was obviously different from the secret realm they had expected.
Bai Jiangye came back to his senses. He exchanged a glance with the Deity Transformation guardian, and they chose to walk in the same direction.
No matter where this place was, since he had come, he definitely couldn’t return empty-handed.
Feng Wanjiang hesitated for a moment before choosing the opposite direction.
Li Ran stood where he was, and his divine will instantly enveloped the entire palace. He understood all the terrain and layout.
“Let’s go this way.”
“Alright.” Yue Jianli nodded.
Two walked along the long corridor toward the depths of the palace.
The long corridor was extremely deep. Wall flickered with a faint blue light, illuminating this place.
Many statues were standing on both sides. They were all guards clad in gold armour and holding swords. Their bodies were extremely tall, at least ten meters long.
A golden light flashed across Li Ran’s eyes as he carefully sized them up.
Under the effect of the Eye of Disruption, one could see that their helmets were shining with blue light. Clearly, they were not as simple as statues.
Just as he was about to say something, a light cracking sound rang out in the air.
Yue Jianli’s body stopped, and the brick beneath her feet sank slightly as if she had stepped on some mechanism.
The surroundings immediately began to shine brightly. Accompanied by a loud boom, thick stone doors fell from both ends.
The entire corridor instantly turned into a secret room!
Li Ran raised an eyebrow. “This is a test?”
Yue Jianli tugged at his sleeve and solemnly said, “Look at those sculptures…”
“Eh?”
Li Ran looked up, and his pupils contracted slightly.
Statues had changed their posture at some point. They all turned around and stared at the two of them.
Under the helmet, a faint blue light shone like a ghost fire, making people feel a little panicked.
Li Ran shook his head. “Looks like this secret realm is quite special…”
As soon as he finished speaking, the statue beside him moved, and the several meter-long great swords ferociously slashed toward him!
The immense pressure was so strong that even the air was about to explode!
Boom!
Sword Qi in Li Ran’s hand flickered and transformed into a large silver hand that forcefully grabbed the sword.
No matter how hard he tried, he could not pull it out.
He raised his brows. “This strength is at least at the peak of the Deity Transformation realm.”
Other statues began to move as they charged silently toward the two of them. Huge weapons in their hands slashed down!
