Ji Mo and his group, full of imposing momentum, advanced directly towards the imperial palace.
Along the way, no one dared to stop them; everyone hid far away.
Many people muttered to themselves, wondering if this Lord Ji Mo, being so fierce, was actually the true Lord Heavenly Demon.
After all, Chi Yan's performance just now was truly jaw-dropping, lacking Ji Mo's inherent wickedness by a far margin.
Suo Lun, terrified, immediately retreated into the inner court of the imperial palace and unhesitatingly activated all defensive measures.
Layer upon layer of barriers lit up one after another, and various formations began to operate, protecting the entire imperial palace with multiple layers.
If one were to ask where the defense was strongest in the entire Demon Realm, it would undoubtedly be the imperial palace, and the inner court of the imperial palace was the safest place.
The entire imperial palace was covered with over a hundred barriers and defensive formations of various types, guarded by numerous experts, making it as solid as gold.
Even if the opponent attacked with immortal artifacts, it would be impossible to break through all defenses without attacking for days and nights.
At this moment, Suo Lun knew very well what to do: hunker down, stall Ji Mo, wait for Chi Yan to recover, and then counterattack.
He had already noticed a dark light shooting up from the direction of the divine temple, as if trying to pierce the sky.
It was evident that Chi Yan had established a connection with his main body and was attempting to descend more powerful forces.
Suo Lun let out a cold laugh. This fellow named Ji is brainless. If he were smart, he should have pursued Chi Yan and completely annihilated this clone of Chi Yan to secure victory.
Now, by insisting on finding trouble with me, he has wasted a golden opportunity and given Chi Yan a chance to turn the tide.
He believed that it wouldn't be long before he saw Ji Mo regretting his actions immensely.
"Your Majesty, can the formations and barriers of the imperial palace withstand the demon Ji?"
A concubine, her face full of worry, had eyes filled with fear.
The main reason was that Ji Mo had remained unharmed even under the bombardment of countless lightning strikes, which was truly impactful and made people involuntarily feel timid.
"My dear concubine, rest assured. No matter how strong he is, he will not be able to break into the inner court of the imperial palace in a short time. And he is running out of time. I estimate that Lord Chi Yan will soon come to settle the score with him. I saved Lord Chi Yan just now, and I will surely receive generous rewards, and becoming an immortal is within reach."
Suo Lun said with a smile.
He had already begun to fantasize about the happy life after becoming an immortal.
"Miss, are you super powerful? Can you help me eliminate all enemies with just a wave of your hand?"
Ji Mo was communicating with Moon God, wanting to understand her abilities.
If she were truly an incredibly powerful and peerless expert, then he would be able to walk sideways like a crab from now on.
"I am trapped in a special place. Currently, I can only communicate with you briefly through this ring and cannot do anything for you."
Moon God replied honestly. She was unable to leave the Burial Ground of Gods.
"Ah?"
Ji Mo was dumbfounded. He thought she was hiding inside the ring, but he didn't expect that she was merely using the ring to communicate with him.
Therefore, no matter how powerful she was, it was clear he couldn't count on her.
He had originally thought he could have a powerful backer, but he had gotten excited for nothing.
Ji Mo was not discouraged and tentatively asked, "Then you must be a senior expert, a peerless powerhouse. Can you bestow upon me some divine artifacts for protection, or perhaps pass down some supreme divine skills?"
"You can't cultivate, so divine skills would be useless to you. As for protection, this ring of mine is the best protective divine artifact. No matter how severe your injuries are, even if you are on the verge of death, it can rapidly repair your body."
Moon God said proudly.
Although her Moon God Ring did not possess offensive power, it was an extremely precious protective and life-saving divine artifact. During the ancient war of gods, it was precisely because of the Moon God Ring that she did not perish.
Countless gods coveted this Moon God Ring and wanted to possess it. Now, it had been cheaply acquired by Ji Mo.
"It can only heal injuries? What's the use of that?"
Ji Mo was dejected.
This was too impractical.
As a physician, the pills and elixirs he concocted had very good healing effects.
Moreover, in the years he had been in this world, he hadn't seemed to get injured. This broken ring seemed to be truly useless to him.
Moon God could never have imagined that her precious ring would be disliked.
This was a top-tier divine artifact that even gods would fight tooth and nail for, yet in this fellow's eyes, it seemed worthless.
Moon God, feeling indignant, was about to argue with Ji Mo when she realized her energy was insufficient.
She hurriedly instructed, "Since you have taken my precious ring, you must find a way to rescue me from this cursed place in the future."
The Burial Ground of Gods, also known as the graveyard of gods, was a cage for gods that filled them with despair, offering entry but no exit.
Gods who entered could not escape.
However, Moon God had an intuition that if any living being could rescue someone from the Burial Ground of Gods, it would be this young man whom she could not see through.
She saw hope in Ji Mo.
"Then I don't want it."
Ji Mo immediately refused.
He would not agree to do unknown things for a broken ring.
"If you were to offer yourself to me, perhaps I could consider it."
He thought to himself, hearing the ethereal and refined voice of this young lady, she must be a peerlessly beautiful woman.
If a life-saving favor was to be repaid with oneself, then he might be willing to take the risk to save her.
Moon God, who was originally communicating with Ji Mo mentally, naturally perceived this thought in his mind. She gritted her teeth in anger and snorted, "Offer yourself to me? You lecher, dream on."
However, these words could not be transmitted. The divine energy of the Moon God Ring was depleted, and the connection with Ji Mo was severed.
It was unknown when the opportunity would arise again to converse with Ji Mo.
"To ask me to offer myself to you, you little brat, you really dare to think that."
Moon God was so angered that she let out a chuckle, and then looking at the eternal darkness around her, her smile vanished, and her exquisite face was once again tinged with sadness.
She sighed softly, slowly closed her eyes, and fell back into a deep slumber.
"Miss, if you can let me cultivate, I can agree to save you."
Ji Mo proposed his condition, wanting to negotiate with Moon God.
If he could cultivate, he was willing to do anything.
However, Moon God no longer responded.
He turned the Moon God Ring in his hand and kept calling out in his mind, desperately wanting to have a good conversation with Moon God.
At this moment, they had already arrived outside the imperial palace.
Niu Ben, who was walking beside him, saw Ji Mo frowning and constantly turning the Moon God Ring, and was greatly alarmed, "Mr. Ji, are you planning to use the divine artifact to blast the entire imperial palace into ruins?"
This was because Ji Mo's expression was extremely solemn, and he was frowning without speaking, as if he was about to do something big.
However, Ji Mo made no move, his steps not stopping at all, and he directly stepped through the main gate of the imperial palace.
"Mr. Ji, be careful, there is..."
Hama saw Ji Mo charging headfirst into the outermost barrier of the imperial palace and quickly reminded him to be careful.
However, he couldn't finish the latter half of his sentence.
Because that powerful barrier was directly destroyed.
Hama was utterly confused. Ji Mo hadn't done anything, yet this barrier was destroyed. It was truly incredible.
Ji Mo, oblivious, continued forward. A killing formation intercepted him.
However, as soon as the killing formation unleashed its boundless killing intent, it was crushed by a single kick.
Ji Mo proceeded as if he were strolling through a garden, ignoring all barriers and formations.
