604: Chapter 422 604: Chapter 422 The Dragon Sons and their descendants sought to close the gates and trap their enemies like cornered dogs, clearly flying at a much faster pace than the shrimp soldiers and crab generals.
The monkey warriors, who were thoroughly enjoying the battle, suddenly realized something was amiss when they noticed that the gates of the Dragon Palace had closed.
The monkeys…
had fallen into a trap, they were certain they were meant to be confined there.
They exerted their strength, but the gates of the Dragon Palace were too sturdy, and the rainbow light reflected them back.
Damn it, what to do now?
The monkeys were still dealing with the oncoming shrimp soldiers and crab generals, trying to find a way out, when they forgot that they had a powerful ally.
Artifact Spirit…, these fools, can’t they ask for my help?
Hey, if you underestimate me and don’t think of me, then I’ll just be silent.
Wait until you are tortured to death, dead, dead!
When Artifact Spirit had slapped out earlier to take the lead, he’d adjusted the Space Magical Treasure to have mirrors on all sides so the creatures inside could watch the fights outside, limited to viewing the monkeys fighting the shrimp soldiers and crab generals.
The creatures inside squeaked and chattered away, with those capable of human speech constantly cheering, “Go for it.”
The other Demonic Beasts felt the monkeys were only so capable; these ever-resilient ants must have another predicament, which the too-foolish monkeys had yet to realize.
“Artifact Spirit, I have a way to help the monkeys,” the Taoist thought it was time to move about, and perhaps entering the Dragon Palace would give him a chance to escape.
Staying inside the Magical Treasure all this time had offered no chance at all.
The Taoist had greatly improved his cultivation during this time and believed he now possessed the capability to escape if he got out.
He had already figured out that this must be the world beneath the sea where he could hide himself.
Artifact Spirit hesitated a moment, unsure whether to release the beings from the space without the owner’s approval.
“Artifact Spirit, my master was right, I think if the two of us as master and disciple go to help, we can definitely provide aid to the monkeys!” Huang Chen had always been hiding within the Magnet Magic Treasure, Soul Conqueror, and even the Artifact Spirit had no way to contend with him.
By staying inside without competing with the other creatures, there was no reason to remove him.
The Taoist’s other disciples…, can we go out?
Can we stand up?
Those who had long been scared were now afraid to step forward, only thinking that they were incapable of fighting; however, they hadn’t considered that their master and senior brother intended to escape.
Taoist…, this unfilial disciple of mine, I am no longer your master, I am now your enemy.
If we go out together, I will definitely find a chance to kill you and seize the Magical Treasure.
“The two of you as master and disciple?
With what capability can you accomplish anything?
Besides, the gates of the Dragon Palace are closed.
How do you plan to get in?” Artifact Spirit felt that this human and ghost were too weak; with so many Demon Forks inside, how could they possibly contend with them?
“Let us try, we might have a way!” Huang Chen, seeing the gate of the Dragon Palace bathed in rainbow light, thought that if he could get out, he could absorb this light.
Even if he couldn’t flee, he could crazily absorb the Immortal Qi.
The Taoist likely thought the same and kept convincing the Artifact Spirit.
Artifact Spirit, persuaded, decided on his own to let the two out.
The other Demonic Beasts saw this as an opportunity, one they should seize to have some fun.
Thereupon, various Demonic Beasts all requested to enter for some fun.
Artifact Spirit felt overwhelmed by the sheer scale of it and didn’t dare make the decision alone.
He needed to ask for permission.
“Master, shall I send the creatures inside to support the monkeys?”
He always sensed there was something more influential at work inside, a situation he hadn’t witnessed himself.
But then he thought, with so many ghosts inside that the monkeys couldn’t kill off, perhaps letting the ghosts and creatures from the space inside would help break the traps within.
“Go ahead, the Dragon Palace is closed.
Find a way in and if any creatures inside manage to escape, make sure they don’t get out.
If they were to escape, it would be a disaster for The Mortal Realm!”
Jiang Tang, even though he felt confident sitting outside setting up the formation, able to catch or kill any being that tried to run, decided it was better to be cautious.
Jiang Tang knew that within the Hell Palace there were many Ghost Cultivators who had been either maliciously placed there or brainwashed.
Before their deaths, they hadn’t committed evils.
The Demonic Beasts that had remained within the space had not gone outside to do evil deeds and, compared to humans, they might even be somewhat more kind-hearted.
Jiang Tang agreed to let those beings from the Hell Palace enter the Dragon Palace, to wreak havoc on the ghosts inside.
The Artifact Spirit of the Hell Palace shrank to an exceedingly small size, like a needle, trying to find a way to slip through the crack of the door.
Finding the gap in the Dragon Palace’s door too narrow for even a needle, it had to become even smaller, like a strand of hair.
It was then that the Artifact Spirit, in such a tiny form, managed to make its way inside the Dragon Palace.
There, it found the monkeys infuriated by being trapped like dogs in a house, jumping angrily, and killing off the ghosts even more savagely.
The Dragon Palace, which had been illuminated before by the open door’s rainbow light, was now enveloped in darkness.
In this instant of pitch darkness, Artifact Spirit felt the palace was even more eerie and terrifying than his Hell Palace Magical Treasure where at least there was night and day!
During the day, the Red Sun shone, but inside the Dragon Palace, these wretched ghosts with their wide-open maws and weapons at the ready, only their eyes flickering like fire in the darkness, could be seen.
Artifact Spirit was not about to hold back.
If you unleashed ghosts, I would unleash ghosts too.
