Chapter 668 Opening the Dragon King Hall

"Boom!"

The Dragon King Hall was instantly sent flying by a punch from the leader of the Xingtian Department, crashing onto the ground and rolling.

Seeing this, everyone's eyes lit up.

With no one controlling the Dragon King Hall, it meant Li Xiaotian had perished, and this palace had now become ownerless!

"Buzz!"

Immediately, five or six massive hands that blotted out the sky reached for the Dragon King Hall.

"Hmph!"

The leader of the Xingtian Department let out a cold snort upon seeing this. He swung his massive hands left and right, instantly repelling the giant hands that were simultaneously snatching the Dragon King Hall, and then reached for the palace himself.

"When did Leader Xing become so domineering?"

The Great Sorcerer of the Undead chuckled sinisterly, thrusting his staff into the ground. Instantly, a black wind erupted, swirling around the Dragon King Hall and drawing it towards him.

"Seeking death!"

The leader of the Xingtian Department snorted coldly, instantly transforming into his giant form. He hurled a punch at the Great Sorcerer of the Undead while continuing to reach for the Dragon King Hall with his other hand.

"Heh heh!"

Just as the leader of the Xingtian Department was about to grasp the Dragon King Hall, a light laugh echoed. A long white tail suddenly coiled around the Dragon King Hall and flew off in another direction.

Empress Tianxiang had made her move.

"Tianxiang!!!"

The leader of the Xingtian Department roared, drawing his colossal axe and swinging it towards the opponent's tail.

Meanwhile, on the other side, the Great Sorcerer of the Undead waved his staff, attacking Tianxiang's true form.

"Roar!!!"

Roars of beasts sounded out as the demons of the Myriad Demon Royal Court jointly attacked, fending off the Xingtian Department leader's colossal axe.

Tianxiang twisted her body, and another long tail shot out, blocking the Great Sorcerer of the Undead's attack.

"Damn it, Tianxiang, how dare you?!?"

The leader of the Xingtian Department was instantly enraged. He strode forward, and simultaneously, many overlords from the Xingtian Department attacked the demon overlords.

The scene immediately descended into chaos. Overlords from the three factions engaged in a free-for-all, while other overlords not belonging to these factions also picked their sides and joined the fray.

"Bang!"

The Dragon King Hall was sent flying once more. Both the leader of the Xingtian Department and the Great Sorcerer of the Undead attacked simultaneously, forcing Tianxiang to abandon the Dragon King Hall.

"How crude!"

Tianxiang said charmingly, her every movement filled with allure.

Quite a few overlords in the arena paused, momentarily captivated.

However, the leader of the Xingtian Department and the Great Sorcerer of the Undead were unaffected.

The three top powerhouses unleashed their full might, vying for the Dragon King Hall.

"Heh heh, honored guests, this old man also comes to join the fun."

Suddenly, a voice sounded out. The Dragon King Hall, floating in mid-air, abruptly stopped. It was lifted by a phantom giant hand.

"God Devourer Clan!"

A flicker of coldness flashed in the eyes of the three great powerhouses as they jointly attacked the phantom giant hand.

"Bang!"

The Dragon King Hall was sent flying again.

"Cough, cough, you three are too overbearing."

The patriarch of the God Devourer Clan revealed himself, giving a dry cough. However, in the next moment, he hurried towards the Dragon King Hall.

"The God Devourer Clan dares to meddle in this?"

The leader of the Xingtian Department snorted coldly, his eyes filled with animosity. He still harbored resentment over the time the patriarch of the God Devourer Clan forced him to swear an oath.

"How can I not dare? This old man and Li Xiaotian were sworn friends, and his belongings should rightfully be preserved by me."

The patriarch of the God Devourer Clan retorted, his words full of righteous indignation.

"Heh! My demon race's Dragon Horse overlord was Li Xiaotian's mount. By rights, Li Xiaotian's possessions should belong to it."

Tianxiang sneered, her gaze towards the patriarch of the God Devourer Clan filled with mockery.

"Hmph! Treasures belong to the virtuous. Whoever snatches it possesses it!"

The leader of the Xingtian Department declared, a hint of disdain in his eyes.

If you want to snatch something, then snatch it. Why bother with such preposterous excuses? Do you think others will stop fighting if you say that? Ridiculous!

"Esteemed sirs, why is only this palace present? Where are Li Xiaotian's Heaven Tablet and Gu Qiankun's high-grade celestial weapon?"

The Great Sorcerer of the Undead controlled the Dragon King Hall with his staff and then spoke, attempting to divert everyone's attention.

"Heh heh! They must be in the battlefield. Go find them."

The patriarch of the God Devourer Clan said.

"Hmph!"

The Great Sorcerer of the Undead snorted coldly, too lazy to respond.

Of course, everyone knew those two items were in the battlefield, but who was willing to leave?

The Dragon King Hall was right before their eyes, and who would give up the chance to seize it?

Moreover, everyone harbored a guess that both of these items, along with the corpses of Li Xiaotian and Gu Qiankun, were inside the Dragon King Hall.

Although they didn't know the final outcome of the battle between the two, whoever emerged victorious would likely use the Dragon King Hall to resist the lightning sea's assault.

Therefore, it was highly probable that everything on their persons was within the Dragon King Hall.

Obtaining the Dragon King Hall meant obtaining all the treasures.

Thus, none of the four top powerhouses were willing to leave.

At this moment, the four top powerhouses were locked in a fierce struggle, with no one gaining an advantage.

Should any one of them be on the verge of success, they would be jointly stopped by the other three.

"My three esteemed friends, this cannot go on. How about you entrust this palace to me first? I shall open it and see if there are any other items inside? This time, besides this palace and Li Xiaotian's golden bones, I shall take nothing else, and I will compensate each of you with a low-grade celestial weapon."

The leader of the Xingtian Department suddenly spoke, his tone conciliatory.

"Hmph, Leader Xing, you take Li Xiaotian's golden bones and a supreme palace. Don't you think you're taking too much?"

The Great Sorcerer of the Undead snorted coldly, his tone laced with sarcasm.

"As I said, I will compensate each of you three with a low-grade celestial weapon! I am not taking it for free!"

The leader of the Xingtian Department said in a deep voice, his expression turning cold.

"How about this? The palace belongs to my demon race, and my demon race is willing to offer three low-grade celestial weapons to the three of you as compensation."

Empress Tianxiang said, her eyes playfully fixed on the leader of the Xingtian Department.

"Hmph! It seems you three are not giving this one face?"

The leader of the Xingtian Department's expression turned extremely grim, his eyes filled with coldness.

Upon hearing the leader of the Xingtian Department's words, the other three were too lazy to respond. Face? Was face worth more than a supreme celestial weapon?

Seeing that the four were about to resume their struggle, the leader of the Xingtian Department frowned and spoke again.

"How about this, let us jointly open the palace first, see what's inside, and then proceed to snatch it?"

"If what we seek is all within the palace, then after opening it, we can each take what we need, and avoid wasting time like this."

Upon hearing this, the three exchanged glances, and their movements paused.

"Agreed!"

Empress Tianxiang said with a smile.

"Heh heh, this old man has no objections."

The patriarch of the God Devourer Clan also spoke, adding that opening the palace, if the Heaven Tablet and high-grade celestial weapon were indeed inside, then each could take what they needed, and everyone would get what they desired.

"Then let us join forces!"

The leader of the Xingtian Department declared, and then the four of them jointly struck the entrance of the Dragon King Hall.

With no one controlling it, the Dragon King Hall could only defend instinctively. Although it was a supreme celestial weapon, without energy supply, it could not hold out for long against the four powerhouses of the Xingtian Department.

"Boom!"

With a deafening roar, the entrance to the Dragon King Hall was opened, revealing the scene within.

Instantly, the eyes of the four top powerhouses lit up.

Inside the palace, Li Xiaotian sat cross-legged, his body's golden light dim. Behind him stood the Heaven Tablet, and on the ground beside him lay Gu Qiankun's corpse and a long saber.

Indeed! Everything was within the Dragon King Hall.

At the same time, everyone looked somewhat surprised. Judging by the situation in the palace, did Li Xiaotian ultimately defeat Gu Qiankun?

However, they didn't dwell on this question and instead moved to seize the items inside the palace.

"Bang!"

Just as everyone reached for a single target, the palace suddenly vibrated violently, shaking all the objects within it out.

"God Devourer Clan, what is the meaning of this?"

The leader of the Xingtian Department's expression instantly turned grim, his eyes filled with coldness.

"Cough, cough, it's easier to grab everything when it's all out."

The patriarch of the God Devourer Clan said with a smile. However, what no one noticed was that after Li Xiaotian's body was shaken out of the palace, it did not instantly fall, but instead drifted towards a nearby area.

"Whoosh!"

At this very moment, a beam of golden light suddenly flew from the battlefield, appearing beside Li Xiaotian in the blink of an eye.

It was the Dragon Horse. It directly驮ed Li Xiaotian and fled into the distance.

"Beast, seeking death!!"

Seeing this, the leader of the Xingtian Department's eyes immediately turned red, waves of killing intent emanating from him.

He immediately swung his axe, and at the same time, the overlords of the Xingtian Department on the battlefield attacked the Dragon Horse.

"Heh heh, Leader Xing, what's the hurry? Aren't there still so many things to divide?"

The patriarch of the God Devourer Clan smiled and blocked the giant axe, standing in front of the leader of the Xingtian Department.

The leader of the Xingtian Department's eyes narrowed as he saw this. He gave the other party a deep look, then ignored him and reached for the other precious items.

Regardless of the other party's intentions, his words had struck a chord with the leader of the Xingtian Department.

Apart from Li Xiaotian's corpse, the other several items were extremely valuable. It was better to seize one first, and then chase after the Dragon Horse.

With so many overlords present, even if the Dragon Horse possessed extreme speed, it could not escape.

Therefore, the leader of the Xingtian Department was not in a hurry.
