Chapter 243: Who Dares to Break into the Godly Palace?!

Little White floated in mid-air with its four paws enveloped by flames before flying to Hao Ren reluctantly.
“Damn dog! You dared to conceal your power from me!” Hao Ren reached out and gave it a hard strike on its head.
It shamed all Snow Lions. Hao Ren guessed that Little White must have been tossed out by the other Snow Lions due to its shameless ways. It must have been a lazy and troublesome cub who had a big appetite.
“After eating so many Essence Replenishment Pills, it’s natural that it has elevated,” Su Han commented lightly before pushing Hao Ren off her sword.
Hao Ren lost his balance, and he immediately pulled over Little White’s back.
With a slight drop, Little White was able to carry Hao Ren on its back.
“Higher-leveled Spirit Beasts need to consume more Nature Essence, which means that it will need more elixirs,” Su Han continued.
“Ugh…” Hao Ren hesitated for a few seconds before asking, “Can it degrade to its former level?”
“No,” Su Han answered him coldly.
Hao Ren was speechless. Although it was quite dashing to ride on Little White, it was quite a burden to feed it properly. It seemed that the one-month stock of elixirs and celestial herbs he prepared for Little White wouldn’t last half a month.
If the nearby cultivators had known that this Spirit Beast cost him over 40 mid-tier Spirit Stones in half a month, they would have been astonished.
“Get out of my way!” Suddenly, an overbearing voice sounded nearby.
Zeng Yitao, the Crown Prince of West Ocean, was sitting on a huge gold weaving shuttle, and he was the one who spoke those arrogant words.
Standing behind him was Qin Shaoyang who was controlling the gold weaving shuttle.
“Who is this kid?” The nearby cultivators were about to teach Zeng Yitao a lesson when they found the aura of Qin Shaoyang who was on low-tier Qian-level.
Nascent Soul Realm! The human cultivators were astonished and backed off hundreds of meters. Even with the background of the cultivation sects, they dared not to mess with a Nascent Soul Realm Cultivator.
In the range of one kilometer, Su Han and Hao Ren, Qin Shaoyang and Zeng Yitao faced each other.
“Mr. Qin, I remember that you were expelled to the bitter cold Northwest. How come you are here?” Su Han said to Qin Shaoyang sarcastically.
“Humph. I wanted to ask you the same question. As an Inspector, how dare you try to break into the Nine Dragon Palace without permission,” Qin Shaoyang retorted.
Su Han’s face fell, not wanting to argue with him. It was evident that Qin Shaoyang favored West Ocean, and she would ignore him as long as he didn’t mess with her.
Sitting on the gold weaving shuttle, Zeng Yitao reached out his hand and said to Hao Ren. “Give it back!”
“Come to me when you have the ability to get it from me.” Hao Ren ignored this arrogant young man.
“You’ll regret it!” Zeng Yitao glared at Hao Ren and said viciously.
Not caring to argue with Zeng Yitao, Hao Ren steered Little White to another direction to observe the situation.
This time, East Ocean had sent out a team of senior elders, and he believed that the other Three Oceans did the same. Since the Nine Dragon Palace appeared above East Ocean City, the East Ocean Dragon Palace could send a bigger team than the other three dragon palaces.
He didn’t see the official teams of the Four Ocean Dragon Clans and guessed that they must be in other areas around the Nine Dragon Palace. Qin Shaoyang must have sensed Su Han with the unique connection between Inspectors, and that was why he came their way.
Besides the Four Ocean Dragon Clans, some mighty River and Lake Dragon Clans came. On top of Water-Elemental Dragon Clans, the other four Elemental Dragon Clans also sent their teams.
So many forces were calculating the time and waiting for the perfect opportunity to break into the Nine Dragon Palace when the palace’s defense array formations were at their weakest.
Therefore, no one would waste their energy on fighting outside of the Nine Dragon Palace; they would wait until they had entered it.
“Su Han, it seems that the human cultivators are mostly low-leveled?” Observing the surrounding situation alertly, Hao Ren asked Su Han.
“Right. None of them are above Core Formation Realm,” Su Han answered.
When Su Han didn’t offer an explanation, Hao Ren had to ask again, “Why don’t they send more powerful cultivators?”
“Humph! It would be a declaration of war if the human cultivators on Nascent Soul Realm showed their faces below Fifth Heaven! Currently, they are only cultivators on Foundation Establishment Realm with a handful cultivators on Core Formation Realm. Their target is the Nine Dragon Palace. As long as they don’t land on the ground, we’ll tolerate them,” Su Han explained.
Hao Ren nodded. The dividing line was Fifth Heaven; the dragon cultivators and the human cultivators kept to themselves in peace. Although there were a lot of cultivators on Foundation Establishment Realm and Core Formation Realm here, they didn’t pose any threats. But if Nascent Soul Realm Cultivators appeared below Fifth Heaven, especially in First Heaven that was closest to land, the situation would be different.
“It’s almost time.” Su Han’s face turned serious.
Also, the nearby human cultivators began to emit their auras.
The colorful energy spheres gradually formed patterns.
Metal, wood, water, fire, and earth; they were emitting different elemental essences.
Each of the Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivators began to move in the sky like a small piece in a game of chess according to their different elemental essences, forming huge array formations in the air.
Obviously, they were very familiar with such array formations. The Core Formation Realm Cultivators flew up to a higher position and directed the movements of thousands Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivators.
Since they couldn’t place Spirit Stones and Dharma Treasures in the air, the Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivators built array formations with their bodies.
Hao Ren looked around and found that the other groups of human cultivators had all formed huge array formations.
Each array formation represented one cultivation sect. He counted and found that there were at least 56 sects around him.
The glittering array formations surrounded the Nine Dragon Palace like pictures that were hovering in mid-air, and it was a magnificent sight!
Some smaller sects had sent all their Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivators, trying to gain a better chance of entering the Nine Dragon Palace.
“Su Han, should we make a move now?” Seeing the cultivation sects activating the huge array formations, Hao Ren asked Su Han anxiously.
“Be patient,” Su Han answered coolly.
Boom!
Finally, one of the cultivation sects made the first attack with its array formation.
Hundreds of Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivators moved together.
Colorful light beams dashed toward the Nine Dragon Palace like lasers!
Boom! The black mist surrounding the Nine Dragon Palace instantly dispersed a bit.
The force of the array formation built by hundreds of Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivators was equivalent to a full-force attack from a Nascent Soul Realm Cultivator. However, it only scattered some thin mist surrounding the palace!
Meanwhile, other array formations began to launch their attacks.
Boom! Boom… The powerful attacks landed on the outer edge of the Nine Dragon Palace, but the palace was still intact; they only scattered some of the mist around it.
Since the Nascent Soul Realm Cultivators couldn’t show their faces publicly below Fifth Heaven, the sects had to rely on a large number of Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivators to mimic the attack of a Nascent Soul Realm Cultivator.
Under the repeated attacks, the Nine Dragon Palace finally shook slightly.
“The large number of human cultivators are saving us energy,” Su Han said while looking at the group attacks on the palace coldly. She slowly turned to face Hao Ren and continued, “The defense array formations of the Nine Dragon Palace are not stable, and a small crack will appear in it. I will bring you in through one of the cracks, and you must follow me closely!”
Sitting on Little White’s wide back, Hao Ren nodded.
When the human cultivators were attacking the Nine Dragon Palace in groups, the dragon cultivators would take the opportunity and slip in. That was why the dragon cultivators tolerated the presence of the human cultivators in First Heaven!
Qian-level and Kun-level dragon cultivators would be the first to enter!
Boom! Boom…
Almost 20,000 Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivators were attacking the Nine Dragon Palace together, and their force combined was the equivalent to a dozen Nascent Soul Realm Cultivators. They continued their attacks, trying to break a crack in it.
In fact, the Nine Dragon Palace was basically a huge Xumi Space. If the array formations in it were not stable, a crack would appear.
Finally, beams of white light began to leak from the bottom of the Nine Dragon Palace.
“Move!” Pulling Hao Ren after her, Su Han flew toward one of the cracks, and Little White followed closely.
Without hesitation, Zeng Yitao and Qin Shaoyang also shot toward the nearest crack!
After two more attacks, the Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivators followed the Core Formation Realm Cultivators, flying toward the cracks nearest to them.
It was the moment to enter the Nine Dragon Palace.
“Oh, I forgot to tell you that Demon Beasts run wild in the Nine Dragon Palace. It will be very dangerous in there,” Pulling Hao Ren behind her, Su Han suddenly turned her head and said.
“F*uk! Why didn’t you tell me earlier?” Hao Ren shouted.
He knew that he had been tricked by Su Han once again.
“The weakest Demon Beasts in there are at level 9. You better follow me closely after we enter the palace!” Su Han continued.
Hao Ren had no idea about the power structure of Demon Beasts. However, he knew that Little White wasn’t even level 1, so he could only imagine the great power of a level 9 Demon Beast.
Pulled by Su Han, Hao Ren couldn’t back off now.
The crack leaking white light was only a few meters away from them.
An intense prehistoric essence greeted them, and the furious roars of Demon Beasts were deafening.
While half of their bodies were in the crack, a voice overshadowing all Demon Beasts resonated in the air with overwhelming pressure!
“Who dares to disturb my sleep!?”
Instantly, the Demon Beasts in the Nine Dragon Palace fell silent.
Two seconds later, another furious roar sounded from inside, “All of you, get out of here!”
The super powerful pressure spread through all the cracks in the Nine Dragon Palace.
The auspicious white clouds instantly turned to a weird black color, and tens of thousands of cultivators near the Nine Dragon Palace were pushed away!
Sensing the danger, Su Han covered Hao Ren with her body. Despite her effort, she, Hao Ren, and Little White were all blown out of the cracks by the great wind and were knocked away for several kilometers!
“The Nine Dragon Palace will be closed for 500 years! I’m Qiu Niu!”
The city-sized Nine Dragon Palace was engulfed in a black light. It blinked twice before vanishing into the void!
