Chapter 145 The Dragon Palace is impregnable!
Lin Xuan stared at the Dragon Palace in front of him, a playful expression appearing in his vertical pupils.
East Sea Dragon Palace!
He was very familiar with this place; he knew countless mythological stories related to it.
Speaking of which, in his previous life, Lin Xuan had seen someone complaining when browsing game forums.
Of the four Dragon Palaces, only the East Sea Dragon Palace was properly modeled; the other three were simply copied and pasted from the East Sea Dragon Palace.
Even the great formation protecting the Dragon Palace is no different.
Lin Xuan even conducted a special experiment at the time and found that this statement was actually correct.
The methods that could break the formation of the East Sea Dragon Palace could actually be used on other dragon palaces.
"Unfortunately, the treasures in the other dragon palaces are far inferior to those here."
Lin Xuan shook his head slightly, saying it was a pity, but in reality he was about to burst out laughing.
He arrived at the Dragon Palace of the East Sea without any trouble, and his plan had already succeeded!
Whether it was the heavenly soldiers or Ao Guang, they were all intimidated by his dragon king clone and couldn't come to their aid for a while.
He has plenty of time to attack the Dragon Palace in front of him!
Lin Xuan took a deep breath and slowly moved forward, approaching the Dragon Palace.
After walking only a few dozen feet, a screen of light appeared in front of them.
At the same time, a yellow health bar appeared. [Dragon Palace Guardian Formation]
【Durability: 10000000000】
Lin Xuan was not surprised; he had expected to encounter a formation.
He even knew that the durability bar contained a lot of information.
The formation has hidden defensive capabilities; damage inflicted on the formation will be reduced by these capabilities.
In the game "Myth", many people suffered losses when the East Sea Dragon Palace was first opened.
We must find a way to lure Ao Guang and his army from elsewhere.
Then, based on the observed durability, an attack is launched, with the timing extremely tight.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, they should be able to break the formation and enter the Dragon Palace just before the Dragon King returns, plunder treasures, and make a fortune.
But the result was always just a little short.
Before they could break through the formation, they were wiped out by the returning East Sea Dragon Clan army and sent back to the respawn point.
It wasn't until someone discovered the hidden information in the formation that everyone suddenly realized what was going on.
Instead, they studied ways to deal with it.
Lin Xuan smiled gently, landed on the seabed, and circled along the edge of the formation.
At this moment, some of the shrimp and crabs that had escaped the calamity rallied and formed a dilapidated formation, observing Lin Xuan from a distance.
Seeing this, they all mocked, "This dragon is truly ignorant!"
"He doesn't think our Dragon Palace's grand formation only exists on the surface, so he's trying to bypass it underground, does he? If he thinks that, he's sorely mistaken!"
Although the shrimp and crab were happy, they dared not speak loudly, for fear of disturbing Lin Xuan.
However, they didn't know that Lin Xuan had no such idea at all.
The Dragon Palace Grand Formation is actually a sphere that completely encloses the entire Dragon Palace.
Trying to break through from underground is a complete waste of effort; many people have already tried this and it serves as a cautionary tale.
Lin Xuan walked back and forth in front of the great formation, going in and out repeatedly.
Sometimes they advance a few steps, and sometimes they retreat dozens of feet.
Sometimes it would wave its claws and carve something on the ground.
It's dazzling.
Time passed quickly. Lin Xuan wandered around the great formation for a long time, leaving countless marks on the ground.
The shrimp and crabs watched intently, gradually lowering their guard and realizing that Lin Xuan's efforts were in vain; they all sneered.
"When do you think our Dragon King will return to fight his way back?"
"Probably happy!"
"Haha, then Lin Xuan will only have his tail between his legs and run away!"
"You're wrong about that. His only fate is to be beaten to death by our Dragon King! Don't forget, the Dragon King has always wanted to avenge the death of his son by Lin Xuan..."
Outside Chen Tang Pass, the situation also changed. After Lin Xuan left, the Dragon King's clone lost control and began to attack on instinct, quickly falling into a disadvantageous position.
Although the heavenly soldiers were somewhat hesitant, they could only unleash three to five tenths of their full strength.
But after so much time had passed, even the Dragon King's clone could not hold on any longer.
"Bang bang bang!"
Many of the dragon king's avatars, which were entirely black and shaped like long snakes, suddenly emitted dull sounds from their bodies.
It looked as if a drum had burst.
Immediately afterwards, their forms changed abruptly, and one by one they returned to their original appearance.
His eyes were glazed over, his expression dazed, and he asked blankly, "What's wrong with me?"
Seeing this, the heavenly soldiers still dared not be negligent and were unwilling to approach.
But they were already relieved, knowing that the dragon kings had broken free from that strange method.
Venus nodded in agreement, keeping the matter in mind, and vowed to report it to the Jade Emperor upon his return to Heaven.
Lin Xuan's magical power was so weak, he wasn't even a Celestial Immortal, yet he was able to control so many Dragon Kings.
If we leave it alone, it will grow up.
Thousands or tens of thousands of years later, if this guy attains immortality, wouldn't he be going to control the gods in Heaven?
If such a thing were to happen, the Heavenly Court would lose all face!
However, Venus has more important things to do right now.
He calmly looked at Chentang Pass, his gaze fixed on Nezha.
Upon discovering that Nezha had not taken advantage of the chaos to leave, Venus secretly breathed a sigh of relief and called out:
"Nezha, are you willing to die or not?"
Nezha was inevitably disappointed to see the Dragon King's clones return to normal, but he still remembered what Lin Xuan had said earlier.
He raised his head, hands on his hips, and said, "Old man, you shouldn't ask me that; you should ask those scorpions!"
"You just promised me that as long as I die alone, you will spare the others."
"But those snakes don't seem to listen to you; they even dared to attack my sworn brother!"
Nezha's method was the most rudimentary attempt to sow discord.
Everyone knows this perfectly well.
However, rudimentary methods are not necessarily ineffective.
Venus's face darkened. He glared at Ao Guang and then said, "Nezha, so you don't want to die?"
Nezha's eyes darted around, but he neither nodded nor shook his head.
In an instant, all eyes were on him.
If Nezha refuses to die, the gods in heaven will be enraged, and Chentang Pass will be razed to the ground immediately.
The people in the city, even the chickens, ducks, geese and dogs, will all die together, with no way to survive.
Many people trembled, hoping that Nezha would commit suicide quickly to avoid implicating them.
If they weren't wary of Nezha's magical power, they probably would have spoken up immediately.
Only one person was fearless.
Li Jing stepped forward, his face grim, and walked towards Nezha.
Just as he was about to say something, he heard Nezha shout:
"Old man, I'm willing to die, but you must guarantee that my sworn brother won't make any mistakes!"
Venus nodded nonchalantly, "Of course I can agree to that!"
As he spoke, worried that Nezha wouldn't believe him, he simply summoned Thousand-Mile Eye and Wind-Following Ear.
"Now, use your supernatural powers to show me where Lin Xuan is now and what he's doing!"
The two immortals immediately nodded, one straightened up and scanned the surroundings, while the other reached out and cupped his ear.
They hadn't heard what Ao Guang said and didn't know that Lin Xuan had gone to the East Sea Dragon Palace.
After a moment, the two turned in the same direction, remained silent for a long time, and then spoke one after the other.
"Report back to Venus, Lin Xuan is currently attacking the East Sea Dragon Palace."
"But it seems he hasn't made any progress..."
The two spoke with a hint of suspicion. In their minds, everything was within Venus's calculations.
Lin Xuan's attack on the East Sea Dragon Palace was probably planned long ago.
Perhaps Venus has set his sights on a certain treasure in the Dragon Palace.
But Lin Xuan has been gone for so long, why hasn't he succeeded yet?
Could it be that the Dragon Palace's defensive capabilities are so powerful that even Venus is powerless against it? Is this the foundation of an ancient race?
Thousand-Mile Eyes and Wind-Following Ears felt uneasy. Just then, Ao Guang spoke up, and they smiled obsequiously.
Ao Guang's face showed pride.
He had been worried that Lin Xuan would breach his Dragon Palace, but now it seems he was overthinking it.
Ao Guang snorted, "My East Sea Dragon Palace is as solid as a rock; how could a mere dragon possibly break through it?"
Venus showed no reaction to this, looked down at Nezha, and said again:
"Your older brother is safe and sound, now can you die?"
At this point, many people realized something was wrong.
It seems that Venus has always wanted to force Nezha to die, but he refuses to do it himself, which is very strange.
Venus, with his kind face, white hair and beard, looks like a very gentle old neighbor.
However, all the heavenly soldiers knew that he was no ordinary person and could be ruthless when it mattered.
But when faced with Nezha, he would rather waste time arguing and talking.
There's something wrong here!
Even Nezha noticed something amiss. His eyes darted around, and he opened his mouth to say:
"Words are no proof; you have to leave me some evidence! Even if I die, there will be many gods to witness it."
Venus was about to agree without hesitation, but Ao Guang couldn't stand it anymore.
We just agreed that letting Lin Xuan go was merely a temporary measure.
Once this matter is settled, they will turn their backs on him and begin hunting him down.
But if Venus signs a written agreement that if I want to kill Lin Xuan again in the future, the Heavenly Court will definitely not stand idly by!
Ao Guang, his earlier arrogance gone, rushed forward and shouted, "Absolutely not!"
Venus frowned, clearly displeased, and suddenly brandished his whisk, about to send Ao Guang flying.
You dragons are nothing but dogs raised by my Heavenly Court, yet you dare to ruin your master's important affairs?
However, before Venus could make a move, the all-seeing eye and the all-hearing ear exclaimed in surprise.
Staring wide-eyed and straining to hear, they gazed into the depths of the sea, as if witnessing some incredible sight.
The sounds they made startled Ao Guang.
Ao Guang came to his senses and realized that what he had said was a bit too much and disrespectful to Venus. So he stopped where he was and pleaded with a face full of apology:
"Old sage, this really won't work!"
Seeing this, Venus didn't want to turn hostile directly, so he softened his tone and said:
"Dragon King, do not be hasty. There is still room for negotiation."
His mind raced, trying to find an excuse to appease Ao Guang and stop him from causing trouble.
But he changed the subject and asked:
"Those with eyes that can see a thousand miles and ears that can hear the wind, why were you all so startled just now?"
"If you can't give a clear explanation, I will not forgive you!"
The all-seeing and all-hearing immediately raised their hands to beg for mercy.
"Reporting to the old immortal, how dare we cry out without cause? It's just... it's just that Lin Xuan is indeed capable!"
They were half expressing their feelings, and half flattering them.
"I wonder whose subordinate Lin Xuan is, but judging from his prowess, the deity behind him must be incredibly powerful!"
