Chapter 178 Taiyi Palace

Andu, Taiyi Palace.

Emperor Yi gazed at the mechanical dragon shadows spiraling outside, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes beneath his helmet.

"There's a power... dissipating, unconsciously radiating."

"Your Majesty, with Dong Jun here, nothing will happen. The Nine Instruments are the pillars. Even if the Shadow Eaters are strong, they can't be stronger than Dong Jun." Behind him, a charming woman in a gorgeous gold and red phoenix robe trailed her golden skirt as she walked to his side.

"I understand, but I always have a premonition." Emperor Yi turned around and gently embraced the woman.

"After all, you also know that what we rely on is ultimately different from experts like Dong Jun. We are merely the legacy of the late emperor, ordinary people ourselves."

"If it weren't for that, the vast Yi Empire wouldn't be so stable. The greatest taboo for an emperor is to have ability but not enough." The woman was the Empress of the entire Yi Empire, originally from a small clan, she had climbed up from the bottom step by step.

Back then, Emperor Yi was just an ordinary person. The two had supported each other for many years, facing many difficulties together, and their hearts were already connected.

"The Imperial Dark Hall must be watched closely. If there are any accidents, the Supreme Crystal must be activated immediately," Emperor Yi instructed.

"I understand." The Empress nodded lightly.

The power of the royal family originated from the Supreme Crystal passed down through generations. The crystal granted Emperor Yi immense power, not weaker than Dong Jun, a divine object that the ancestors had taken from the Black Sea.

Also, because of the Black Sea dead zone, only those with royal blood could use the Supreme Crystal.

Others couldn't even see it.

"By the way, what brings you here suddenly?" Emperor Yi suddenly came back to his senses and looked at his wife.

"His people have arrived." The Empress whispered, "After so many years, I thought he had disappeared. I didn't expect him to reappear at this crucial moment."

"Him?" Emperor Yi was taken aback, then instantly reacted.

As the emperor of a vast empire that ruled most of the land on Earth and the Moon, he had access to too many secrets.

But all the secrets were not as important as that person's affairs...

"I understand... Set a time, I will go see him," Emperor Yi said in a low voice.

"I hope this time, there won't be any more danger..." The Empress gently hugged Emperor Yi, her voice filled with worry.

Inside the dead zone, an unknown underground palace.

Grayish-white bones covered and fixed everything around.

They were like prisons, completely imprisoning all the blue-armored people and blue-armored giants present.

Li Cheng Yi stretched out his hand.

Snap.

A snap of his fingers.

Chichi chichi chichi!!

Inside all the surrounding bone statues, bone spurs suddenly grew out.

The bone spurs were like countless sharp blades, piercing through the blue-armored people inside.

In an instant, more than fifty blue-armored people present completely lost their activity, turning into fragmented armor pieces.

"Am I not too late?"

Li Cheng Yi asked with a smile.

"..."

Da Xiong slowly came back to his senses from the shock.

"Get out... we must find a way to leave here as soon as possible!"

"To escape from the Fa (Law), besides the usual methods, there is another one, do you remember?" Li Cheng Yi asked.

"You mean!?" Da Xiong suddenly thought of something.

"The size of this dead zone is not large, so we can try it." Li Cheng Yi's mental power could sense that the core of this dead zone was actually this underground palace.

So, if we completely destroy the underground palace...

"Next, step back a bit." Li Cheng Yi whispered.

He hadn't encountered a dead zone of this difficulty in who knows how long.

"Yi Ge..." Da Xiong suddenly asked.

"If we keep walking forward and can't see the meaning of living, then what?"

"Then keep walking," Li Cheng Yi said, "The miracle of life is not something you can give up casually."

He exuded strands of white energy.

"Meaning is something that if you can't find it, then enjoy the present. No matter when, now, at this moment, everything you feel is absolutely real."

"Stand firm!" He was suddenly completely submerged in white energy.

In an instant, a giant force wrapped around Da Xiong, throwing her high into the air.

The moment she fell, a giant white deer rushed out of the white energy, holding her up with its back.

On the back of the giant white deer, which was more than thirty meters tall, strands of white energy were like warm ropes, securing Da Xiong so she wouldn't fall.

She tightly hugged a bit of Li Cheng Yi's flesh around his waist, her whole body blown by the huge air currents so she couldn't open her eyes.

At this time, the consciousness in her mind was completely dazed.

She had just been dazed once, and now she was dazed again.

'Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?'

Da Xiong didn't have time to think about the meaning of life, she only felt like a small boat in a storm, in danger of being thrown down from a high place at any moment.

"The same thing has different meanings for different people..."

Li Cheng Yi's voice was grand and majestic, coming from above, like thunder.

"Do you want to know what meaning I feel when facing everything here?"

"...No! Can you put me down first!" Da Xiong wanted to speak, but the air currents were too strong, and as soon as she opened her mouth, she was blocked back.

A large amount of white energy turned into air currents, blowing her so she was covered in tears and snot, and the flesh on her face was trembling.

"Are you so moved that you can't help but shout, but hot tears are choking you so you can't speak?" Li Cheng Yi was also a little moved himself. Seeing his team members so excited, he also felt a faint sigh.

"I don't want to cry!! But the wind is drilling into my eyes and nose! I can't help it!!" Da Xiong tried her best to shout, but her strength was extremely weak at this time, and the shout was instantly drowned out by the noise of the air currents.

"The emotion makes you unable to help but shout out loud, but the hot tears make you choke and unable to speak?" Li Cheng Yi himself was also a little touched. Seeing his team members so excited, he also felt a faint sigh.

"I said... can you turn down the air currents a bit!!" Da Xiong shouted with all her strength.

But the sound turned into a mess as soon as it came out, turning into wawuwawu...

"Hold on tight! Don't be afraid!"

Hiss.

A huge trident was condensed in his hand.

'I can't beat the Inscribed Ring Divine Fire, I can't beat the Cataclysm, I can't beat the Golden Light Pillar, I can't beat the Emerald Mother. But not being able to beat anyone doesn't mean I'm weak!!'

He waved the trident, and the terrifyingly heavy trident turned into a disc around him.

A golden light flashed across his body, invisible blades condensed, and soft energy gathered and surged.

Countless dragon scales belonging to the Shadow Dragon King covered his whole body, and faint black flames burned in his eyes.

"Dragon Transformation · Heavenly Fate Rising Sun Sword!!!"

At this moment, terrifying white blood essence was condensed on the trident, accompanied by layers of flower language enhancement, and the soft energy exploded with all its strength.

The huge thrust of 60,000 tons, attached with many strange controls and damages.

All, all of this turned into a white light, and was swung upwards from Li Cheng Yi's hand.

The underground palace was only less than fifty meters high, and was directly hit by this terrifying white light.

The hard stone walls began to tremble violently. Under the destruction of the light, they cracked and collapsed layer by layer.

Boom!!!

A loud noise exploded.

In an instant, the stone walls were pierced, and silver sky light shone down, but in a blink of an eye, it turned into countless silver gases.

The gases rushed into the underground palace.

Everything was corroded and dissolved under the blowing of the gases.

And Li Cheng Yi took Da Xiong and rushed straight into the sea of silver gas outside the underground palace.

Countless white blood essences wrapped around them, and a large number of dead energy flames quickly appeared on the inner layer.

The blood essence was corroded and dissipated by the silver gas in the blink of an eye, but the dead energy in the inner layer completely protected the two because of its super isolation.

In this instant, Li Cheng Yi and Da Xiong's bodies also began to flicker.

"It seems to be successful... The outside world where this dead zone is located doesn't seem to be the Black Sea, but is wrapped by another larger dead zone. But no matter what, we successfully escaped."

Li Cheng Yi's figure returned to human form, and he hugged Da Xiong's waist, who was covered in tears and snot.

"Are you very moved?" he asked.

"...My eyes hurt, can we go back and talk about it." Da Xiong opened her mouth to speak, but a stomach full of air made her burp involuntarily.

Not only did she want to burp, but she also wanted to fart... but she felt that a beautiful girl shouldn't destroy her image like this, so she was holding it in and feeling very uncomfortable.

She suddenly didn't want to die anymore, she just wanted to get away from Yi Ge quickly.

Although she was saved, she felt that she shouldn't try such a terrible experience again next time.

"Are you speechless because you're too moved?" Li Cheng Yi sighed, "It's okay, I'm a sensitive person, I can understand what you mean, your emotions."

"Wawuwawu..." My tongue is numb!

Da Xiong was speechless.

"Let's go."

Li Cheng Yi suddenly waved his hand with one hand, and countless dead energy flew back to his palm like flowing water.

In that instant, the two suddenly disappeared, completely escaping the dead zone.

Poof.

Reality, Earth and Moon.

On the lawn of Yong'an Garden, Li Cheng Yi and Da Xiong reappeared.

As soon as she stood still, Da Xiong bounced her legs, ran away, and rushed to the toilet in the house.

Rainbow Candy and the others were confused, not knowing what happened.

"Don't worry, she's just too moved and afraid of losing her composure in front of you," Li Cheng Yi said with emotion.

Rainbow Candy blinked her eyes, and suddenly seemed to hear something, reacted, and smiled playfully at Li Cheng Yi.

"Yi Ge, have you ever heard a saying?"

"What?" Li Cheng Yi looked at her.

"Words should be said slowly, farts should be released quietly."

"...What nonsense is that? It doesn't make sense, does it?" Li Cheng Yi said in surprise.

"No, it's just that you don't understand." Rainbow Candy smiled.

"Maybe... After all, I haven't farted in a long time. Waste gas is automatically discharged from my body during cultivation," Li Cheng Yi touched his chin.

"It's good that you're okay, but now is not the time to chat casually," Sindora said in a deep voice from the side.

He looked at Li Cheng Yi.

"I just received news that there's been some trouble with the Space Force. It's related to the Shadow Eaters."

"Shadow Eaters?"

"Yes, the Nine Instruments want you to go there immediately. An incomprehensible situation has occurred with the Shadow Eaters. They want us, who know the dead zone Black Sea best, to send someone to investigate."

"Incomprehensible situation? Is it urgent?" Li Cheng Yi squinted.

"The spaceship has arrived and can depart at any time," Sindora said.

Li Cheng Yi looked at Rainbow Candy.

"Candy, do you have any clues?"

"There's no problem with the Nine Instruments. The Shadow Eaters have indeed caused trouble. During the temporary ceasefire between the two sides, an abnormality occurred, resulting in the disappearance of at least 200,000 Space Force personnel."

"Interesting... In that case, I'll go take a look," Li Cheng Yi said in a low voice.

"Stay in touch at all times." He looked at Rainbow Candy.

"Don't worry, with me here, no one can cut off contact." The latter gave a thumbs up.

"Okay! Xiao Zong, I'll leave the safety here to you." Li Cheng Yi looked at Xiao Zong, who was silently beside him.

"Leave it to me. And Sea Shark is also here, he has helped me a lot." Xiao Zong nodded.

"Okay." Li Cheng Yi raised his head and looked at the sky.

Vaguely, he seemed to sense that something was gestating and pulsating in the extremely distant space.
