The area of the Deep Sea Dragon Palace was actually only slightly smaller than the Li Huo Palace. However, the buildings occupied most of it, leaving no wide streets, thus accommodating fewer people.
Since this secret realm had been independently extracted by the system, everyone did not need to worry about suffocating in the water.
And within a hidden space of the Dragon Palace.
A humanoid monster, clad in tattered armor and with two tentacles growing on its head, was bound by numerous shackles.
It was not difficult to discern that this monster belonged to the Shitain race.
Before him lay the corpses of a large number of Sea Dragon race members, appearing to be all the Sea Dragons in the entire Dragon Palace.
What was even more unbelievable was that the Sea Dragon King was still alive.
The Sea Dragon King had transformed into a giant sea dragon form, his flesh and blood connected to the underground formation. The shackles binding the Shitain individual were reinforced with the Sea Dragon King's flesh and blood.
"Heh heh, Dragon King, it's been about a hundred thousand years, hasn't it? You must be incredibly old now. My lifespan hasn't even reached halfway, yet what's the point of you painstakingly trapping me here?"
His name was Lamo, a sixth-realm expert of the Shitain race.
A seventh-realm expert was equivalent to the Soul Transformation realm in the human cultivation system.
When they tore through the planar barrier to invade the plane where the Sea Dragon race resided, Lamo's team, due to a teleportation error, arrived near the Dragon Palace beneath the deep sea.
But he didn't care. Killing anyone was still killing. Their targets were not limited to humans; all indigenous races of this world were their enemies.
However, unexpectedly, before they could even breach the Dragon Palace, the Sea Dragon King led all his kin to meet them in battle.
Initially, the Sea Dragon race was not at a disadvantage, as the sea was their home ground.
Unfortunately, they had reinforcements.
And they attempted to storm into the Dragon Palace to attack their kin.
In desperation, the Sea Dragon King had no choice but to expend all his might, activating a one-time large-scale teleportation array to transport all his kin away.
But he was also severely injured. He and other warriors within the Dragon Palace engaged in battle with the Shitain individuals.
Finally, the Sea Dragon King drew Lamo and a group of his subordinates into the hidden space of the Dragon Palace.
The Sea Dragon King, having expended too much energy, knew he couldn't defeat them. Thus, he and other members of his race sacrificed their lives to bind all the Shitain individuals who had been drawn in.
These shackles were forged at the cost of the Sea Dragon race's lives.
Consequently, apart from the Sea Dragon King, all other members of the Sea Dragon race perished.
The Shitain race was also reduced to only Lamo.
The Sea Dragon race had a long lifespan, but the Shitain race's lifespan was even longer.
Although the Sea Dragon King had managed to wear down the other Shitain individuals, he discovered he couldn't outlast Lamo.
Furthermore, for some unknown reason, the entire Dragon Palace seemed to have vanished from the world. He could not sense anyone approaching.
However, at this moment, the weary and aged Sea Dragon opened his eyes, a sharp glint appearing within them. He sneered, "You don't have much strength left either, do you?"
"Heh heh... As long as I get out, recovering my strength will be as easy as picking something up. And after you've spent a hundred thousand years wearing me down, your entire plane has already been occupied by our great Shitain race. So, everything you've done will be utterly meaningless! Hahahaha..."
"What a coincidence, someone has finally entered, and... it's a human."
"Old man, what's the point of such tricks to scare children? In at most a year, your life force will be exhausted. By then, I will drink your flesh and blood!"
"Heh heh, we'll see!"
...
Chu Yang could have directly rescued the Sea Dragon King, but for him, this was an invaluable opportunity for them to directly confront the Shitain race.
A Shitain individual with strength comparable to the Soul Transformation realm, but due to being trapped for a hundred thousand years, his vital energy was almost completely depleted. He could at most exert the strength of the Void Refinement realm.
Much like Liu Chen in the Li Huo Palace back then, time was the most ruthless. Even if you possessed such a long lifespan, being confined here motionlessly would still be relentlessly battered by the torrent of time.
This was akin to how machinery that remains still for a long time would gradually rust and seize up.
Even though cultivators could long ago sustain themselves without eating or drinking by absorbing spiritual energy, this erosion of time remained their greatest enemy.
And Void Refinement realm strength...
Coupled with the still-alive old Dragon King, they should be able to deal with him... right?
If things truly reached an irretrievable point, it wouldn't matter, as he would intervene.
Those who were plundering the secret realm were naturally unaware of such matters.
However, everyone was being cautious. The last time, Liu Chen almost absorbed all their souls.
Furthermore, Daoist Bai had also agreed with them that if they encountered any hidden challenges and divination indicated great danger, he would call for everyone to enter together.
But now was not the time to think about these things; it was time to fight.
"Damn it! I found that cultivation technique first!"
"What are you talking about? Whoever gets it, owns it!"
"Punk! If you have the guts, fight me one on one!"
"Fight you one on one, you fool! Your cultivation technique is wind-attribute, and you can't catch me. Am I stupid?"
"..."
For a cultivation technique of the Profound Grade, Low Tier, these two cultivators directly resorted to fisticuffs.
Such situations frequently occurred within. It was a normal phenomenon and would likely resolve itself in a few months.
Because by then, the plundering should have been mostly completed.
Although some disputes might still arise at that time.
Currently, they were fleeing from Meng Zibin's pursuit, not out of fear of him, but out of fear of Chen Xiaohan.
Once injured, those blood蛊 worms would enter your body, and your life would then be controlled by her. It was too terrifying.
Even if they fought Wang Teng or Li Qingyun, if they lost, they could still escape. But once infected by the蛊 worms, they would be completely at her mercy!
The Deep Sea Dragon Palace was not an isolated force. The Sea Dragon race members often ventured to the surface to acquire various treasures.
Therefore, the Dragon Palace was quite affluent.
Its wealth could rival that of the Five Elements Immortal Sect before its destruction.
However, it was a pity that no corpses of the Sea Dragon race members could be found here, and naturally, no storage rings.
The sect's valuable resources were still stored within the storage rings of their Sect Masters and Elders.
Thus, after half a year, the fights had generally decreased significantly.
During this period, Luo Xiaowei and his group had clashed with Meng Zibin's group.
However, Meng Zibin and Chen Xiaohan retreated because Qin Xiaoxiao's berserk state could now be controlled by herself.
When she transformed, the two of them retreated without hesitation.
It was no joke; the transformed Qin Xiaoxiao could kill a late-stage Golden Core cultivator with a single blow!
