CHAPTER 689 SOMEONE IS ATTACKING THE PALACE

Darren gathered his Spirit Power and opened the door.

The violent blood-red waves flooded the holy emperor's corpse.

Hobson coughed a mouthful of blood the moment he stepped in. He felt as if he was tormented by the

sea of blood.

"No, we cannot stay here. Let's go." Hobson frowned painfully as he shouted to Darren.

He couldn't bear the pressure that the sea of blood gave out, so Darren and Hobson decided to leave

immediately.

"I feel like I'm going to explode when I take a look at the body locked by the iron chains." Hobson

shuddered. He felt more uncomfortable this time. The feeling was far more overwhelming compared to

when he saw the portraits on the wall.

"So it's ridiculous if we try to leave here through the emperor's heart," Darren growled.

They could not stand a chance against the aura emitted from the holy emperor's corpse.

A month had passed since and something finally broke the peaceful atmosphere here.

The entire palace shook violently for three days, as if there had been a big earthquake.

"Is Dexter coming out?" Hobson asked, the possibility of whether or not the latter coming making luck

against them.

"Maybe, we don't know. We need to be careful and get ready to welcome the old man."

Darren and Hobson stayed alert since they knew something big had happened and it was only a matter

of time since it would catch up to them. On the ninth day, the outer hall began to collapse.

Several beams of bright light materialized into the air and it seemed as if the sky had poked several

holes.

"No way!" Darren and Hobson both stood in shock. It was not Dexter that had come out, but the bronze

palace seemed to have been pierced through by someone!

Both Darren and Hobson were horrified at the sudden change. Who could break through the bronze

palace?

"Darren, now's the right time for us to get out of here!"

Standing on the black ground, Hobson stared at the sky and smiled joyfully.

Darren was considering if he should rush into the sky as suggested. Hobson, however, darted towards

those small holes without any hesitation.

He was fast, flying more than ten kilometers in the blink of an eye.

"Ahhh!"

There was a frightening roar coming from the sky. Hobson fell and broke into several pieces before

falling to the ground. This material belongs to .

"Hobson!"

It happened so fast, Darren had no idea what happened; Hobson had been beside him one time and

was torn into pieces the next.

Whoosh!

A figure flashed at a rapid speed. The green light was shining and circling around Hobson.

Darren was delighted at the sight of the short figure who looked so familiar.

"Sir!" Darren flew to the old man at once. In the blink of an eye, Hobson had been revived by the old

man.

Hobson sat up, his face pale and eyes reflecting nothing but pure horror.

"Sir, why are you here? Was all of this caused by Dexter?"

The short old man's appearance had only proved that Dexter had become the new leader of the

palace.

"No." The old man frowned. He looked up at the sky with fear and uttered, "That person is coming and

he is terrifying. If he hadn't broken the forbidden zone that day, none of you would have come in."

"Is it him?" Darren gasped in horror. He knew that "he" was the mysterious old man coming from the

other end of the starry sky.

"Rude!"

Suddenly, a loud shout came from the innermost part of the palace. The voice seemed to come from

the ancient times. His roar made all the living beings tremble and worship him.

The roar gave off such a force and made the place above the palace collapse once again.

A shadow suddenly appeared in the sky. He held a long spear and silently stared outside, invincible

being the only thing that could describe him.

The figure, however, pierced through the entire world.

Darren and the others stood below. If it weren't for the old man who had constantly released the Life

True Rule to repair them, they would have already vanished into thin air.

"Emperor's soul," the old man murmured.

"Sir, let's hide. It's too uncomfortable here." Even under the protection of the old man, Hobson still had

many injuries and kept bleeding profusely.

The old man's face paled as white as a sheet, not to mention Darren and Hobson.

With a wave of his hand, he brought Darren and Hobson away using Space True Rule.

It was not until they arrived at one of the stone gates and hid behind it that the formidable pressure

eased by a considerable amount.

"Is it safe here?" Hobson was still far from comfort.

"Don't worry. Even a holy emperor needs to spend some time breaking this stone chamber," the old

man reassured Hobson.

"Well, sir, why are you here? Are you still the lord now?" Darren asked.

"Yes, I am." The old man's answer only fed Darren's confusion.

"I think it's because of that person that I had the chance to get out. The punishment rules left by the first

leader have been lightened," the old man speculated.

"I see. Sir, where does this shadow come from? It has such a strong aura that it looks stronger than the

holy emperor's corpse," Darren asked.

"It's the emperor's soul. This is not the first time that it has come out. Last time, it showed up when that

mysterious powerful man broke the entrance of the forbidden zone.

As far as I'm concerned, it must be inert in the emperor's corpses," the old man said slowly.

"No wonder we felt unusual when we went to the blood sea before. Maybe it had sensed the arrival of

that person from long ago." Darren recalled the scenes few days ago when the sea of blood was

extremely terrifying.

Boom!

The earth and the sky shook violently. Darren and the other two were thrown into the air and kept

hitting the stone walls due to the impact.

Apparently, the war between the shadow and the mysterious old man had begun.

In fact, Darren was eager to know how the battle between the two top martial artists was going on.

Alas, he did not dare to step out of the stone chamber. Otherwise, even if he was protected by the short

old man, he would be shattered to pieces.

An overwhelmingly terrible aura went through the stone wall, making them tremble in fear. The beams

of light blinded the space and shone into people's eyes.

The tremendous sound shocked Darren and the others, as if they were ants floating in the sea.

"By the way, did you take a body of a senior holy warrior from the blood sea, sir?"

"How do you know?" The old man cast a glance at Darren.

"I went in and found one missing. So I guess it was you who helped my buddy Finley take that away,"

Darren said with difficulty, trying to stabilize his shaking body.

"Yes, it was me. I've sealed the body inside my space. I'll bring it to you as soon as everything calms

down. After your friend reaches the Holy Realm, we won't be terrified by the new leader," the old man

said.

"A new leader? Are you saying that Dexter is still alive?"

"That's correct. I can sense his existence. He has passed thirteen tests in such a short time, and he

just needs to comprehend the rule of control and then he will become the new lord here. The two

warriors' fight disturbs the rules of the test, which gives him a perfect chance. Otherwise, he would

definitely die in three years."

As the current lord, the old man could clearly figure out everything about Dexter.

"Hey, if the palace is not broken and we are still alive, once Dexter dares to come out, with your help,

Darren and I must kill him," Hobson said.

"You underestimated the controller of the palace. He will obtain a lot of benefits each time he passes

one round of the tests. Now, he is already close to the top level of an inferior holy warrior. His combat

power is much stronger than the four of them combined back then," the old man said.

"Really?" Hobson was shocked.

Just then, the hall shook violently once more. Inside the stone chamber, there was some dispersed

holy emperor's power pouring in.
