Chapter 736: Chapter 345 Convergence
Ya Yu had an impressive presence, fierce yet dignified, and its combat power was also astonishing.
Among those with Sixth Sense, it had few rivals; just the feat of defeating thirteen War Puppets proved everything.
It was not far from reaching an Overlord Level, or rather, it had intentionally suppressed itself at the strength of a Sixth-sense Expert.
After all, such a Mythical Creature was not at all inferior to an Ancient Dragon.
Once matured, it would be considered a higher life form.
Unfortunately, within the Immortal Palace, these Mythical Species could only forcibly suppress their own growth; otherwise, they would be killed by the Heavenly Tribulation Engraving.
Even if they managed to grow stronger, to become Supreme beings or even Kings, they still couldn’t cross that one line.
No matter their Talent or lineage, it was futile; the Heavenly Palace locked their growth!
This made Li Yelai feel somewhat relieved; if not for the special environment of the Immortal Palace, the difficulty for humans to conquer it would have been too great.
A group of matured Mythical Species, how would one fight them?
Moreover, once these Extraordinary Creatures escaped from the Immortal Palace, wouldn’t they instantly ascend to Overlord status? Perhaps some had already fled.
Of course, with the Amber Monarch presiding over the outside, there wasn’t too much to worry about.
“Not bad at all…” Li Yelai tapped on Ya Yu’s Dragon Horn.
In mythological stories, Ya Yu was also known as Yayu.
Originally a son of the Heavenly Gods, with a human face and a serpent’s body, and of a kind and honest nature. But due to jealousy, it was conspired against and killed by two other beings.
The Heavenly Gods resurrected it, but it turned into a terrifying Fierce Beast, a monster with the head of a dragon and the body of a cat named Ya Yu.
In another version, it is said to be the son of a Candle Dragon.
Regardless of which version,
Ya Yu’s combat power was tremendous. If Li Yelai were to face it head-on, he’d probably have to play all his trump cards.
It’s a good thing we have the White Jade Palace, the Golden Armor War Puppets, or rather, the ‘Imitative Heavenly Soldiers’ are really useful.
It’s just a little stingy…
Li Yelai seized the moment…
And hung the Scarlet Reins on Ya Yu’s freshly deceased body.
As the Scarlet Reins merged into Ya Yu’s body, its once dead form regained vitality, and those three pairs of eyes, which had been filled with resentment and rage, turned into a quiet indifference without sorrow or joy.
At the same time, Li Yelai also felt an intense rage and resentment. This emotion spread to him through the Scarlet Reins.
It was the remaining emotions of Ya Yu, which felt indignant—a Mythical Species taken down by the Immortal Palace’s Gate Guarding Puppets. Who wouldn’t feel aggrieved?
But soon, that emotion gradually dissipated.
Death was as extinguishing a lamp; no matter how resentful or angered, it could no longer affect Li Yelai.
Li Yelai leaped onto Ya Yu’s robust back, his Black Gold Dragon Pattern Halberd appeared in his hand, after trying it out a couple of times, it felt very good.
“Excellent, Old Ma No.5!”
Li Yelai, taking advantage of the palace’s challenges and inevitable encounters with strong enemies, cleared Extraordinary Creatures efficiently and indeed entertained the thought of obtaining Old Ma No.5.
Old Ma No.4 was still present, being an Ancient Sky Comet Dragon.
It was naturally extremely powerful, and in terms of speed, there were probably few Ancient Dragons that could keep up with it.
In terms of combat power, although there were some losses, it was still close to Overlord Level. Enough to suppress quite a few Sixth-sense Experts.
But in such an environment as the Immortal Palace, Li Yelai worried that if he took it out, it would be attacked by the Heavenly Tribulation Engraving. Hence, a need for Old Ma No.5.
Ya Yu’s combat power and physique were both very good; it was a fine choice.
And the Mountain Lord felt a chill, as Li Yelai used curses and palace challenges to pit three powerful Sixth Sense Extraordinary Creatures to death. To pit them to death was one thing, but to not even spare their bodies, turning them into mounts… He might as well have eaten them.
To the Extraordinary Creatures, Li Yelai was simply too terrifying. Thankfully, he hadn’t offended him previously; otherwise, there would be no peace even in death!
After securing Old Ma No.5, Li Yelai rode Ya Yu away from the palace.
And on nearby trees, he carved words with the Black Gold Dragon Pattern Spear.
To caution the Human Warriors who arrived here to avoid accidentally triggering a challenge.
There were no more valuables left in this palace, and even if the challenge was completed, there would be no rewards.
At this point, Li Yelai saw some text on the mountain walls of the circular mountain. It wasn’t the ancient script found inside the palace, but rather huge Chinese characters…
‘Ahead lies the War Puppet Factory, the challenge difficulty is extremely high, with the Secret Skill of Planting Beans into Soldiers, do not approach.’
“Could these be… words left by those trapped in the Heavenly Palace in the past?” Li Yelai pondered.
Back then, the Jing Family knew little about the Immortal Palace, and they miscalculated the duration of the passage.
As a result, many Spiritual Ability Users and armed personnel were left inside the Immortal Palace.
Counting the time, it had already been sixty years.
It seemed that the humans trapped here had been to this place and left a kind warning.
“I wonder if they are still alive?” Li Yelai was not clear about the specific upper limit of Spiritual Ability Users’ lifespan, but he knew that those with Sixth Sense could almost maintain their youth.
Jing Jing, that guy, looked like a woman in her thirties, but in reality, she was already in her sixties. It was because she ascended to Sixth Sense in her thirties, which greatly slowed down the rate of her aging.
If, among the survivors from back then, some could advance to Fifth or Sixth Sense, they should still be lively now. Li Yelai wondered if he could meet them.
Then, Li Yelai took out Ye Boshou’s signal gun from his storage space and fired into the sky. The green fireworks ignited and stood out especially in the sky.
That was the signal Ye Boshou’s team used to confirm each other’s location; if any Ye Boshou or official personnel saw this, they would respond.
