Chapter 719: Chapter 246: Ancient Palace (5555 words)
“It’s over, Master’s dead, he won’t wake up even if we call him…”
“Little Skeleton, poke Master with your bone knife… Bastard, why are you stabbing me? Do you want me to hit you with a mental spike?!”
“Snowy, zap Master with your lightning.”
“Damn it, you were supposed to shock Master, not me… Fine, I’ll have to use a mental spike on him…”
Chen Fan was furious.
This little black bastard…
He was just trying to sleep, but these creatures kept chattering non-stop and even wanted to use lightning and mental spikes on him!
Chen Fan opened his eyes and stretched out his hand, using his psychic power to grab Little Black.
With one hand holding Little Black, he used his other hand to hit Little Black’s head repeatedly.
Little Black was left dazed and swaying with each step, grabbing Little Qing’s tail to use as a blanket, covering itself.
Little Qing looked at Little Black helplessly.
It seemed like this guy hadn’t been beaten enough lately.
Chen Fan stretched lazily and looked at Snowy: “How long have I been asleep?”
Snowy tilted its head up slightly, patted Chen Fan’s face gently, and communicated telepathically: “Three… three days!”
Feicui: “Ji Ji Ji! (Yes, yes!)”
He had been asleep for three days?
Chen Fan massaged his temples and looked up, only to be shocked.
No wonder Little Black kept making a fuss…
Far ahead of them stood an enormous, completely frozen palace!
A palace with a gate that reached a kilometer high!
Despite the distance, Chen Fan still felt tiny, like an ant looking at the palace!
This palace… Surely it wasn’t meant for humans, right?
Chen Fan was in awe of the palace’s size and grandeur, and felt a slight tremor in his heart as well…
Throughout their time in the Ancient Divine Domain, they had only encountered wastelands and glaciers, as well as Demons.
Finally, they saw something different.
If there was a palace, it meant there might be people!
Or even…
Gods!
Chen Fan began to feel anxious.
He checked the time.
It should have been past ten in the evening in the outside world…
Chen Fan communicated telepathically with Snowy and the others: “Snowy, Gangzi, you guys return to Beastmaster’s Space first.”
Not just Snowy…
Chen Fan kept the Phantom Demon but sent Snowy and Elder Ape back to the Beastmaster’s Space.
After all, the Phantom Demon was now at level 35.
Card in the hat, his Sumi Ring shone for a moment…
“Ka!”
The Heaven-severing Demon Sword stored in the Sumi Ring was now in Chen Fan’s hand.
“Let’s go!”
Chen Fan wielded the Heaven-severing Demon Sword and commanded the Phantom Demon.
Strangely…
The Phantom Demon seemed to be very resistant.
The closer they got to the palace, the more resistant the Phantom Demon felt.
“What’s wrong?”
Chen Fan was a bit puzzled and communicated with the Phantom Demon through psychic power.
The very next moment, he realized the problem.
The Phantom Demon was scared…
It couldn’t articulate what exactly was inside the palace.
But the Phantom Demon sensed the terrifying threat emanating from within!
Chen Fan summoned Little Black again.
Little Black: “…”
Chen Fan asked: “Little Black, what do you feel about that palace?”
“…” Little Black hesitated before saying, “Nothing really, it just seems a bit flashy… It’s just a nest after all, why make it so big? Birds like us are more practical; we can build a nest with just a few tree branches…”
Chen Fan glanced at Little Black.
If he didn’t know that Shen Dao couldn’t perform such transformation magic yet, he would have doubted if Little Black had been transformed by him.
Chen Fan frowned: “Don’t you sense a terrible aura?”
Little Black blinked: “No… In this world, is there any aura more terrifying than that of your sword?”
Chen Fan kicked Little Black back into the Beastmaster’s Space.
Little Black simply didn’t detect any unusual aura.
Meanwhile, the Phantom Demon at his feet was still trembling from fear.
The closer they got to the palace, the more fearful the Phantom Demon became!
Left with no choice…
Chen Fan also sent the Phantom Demon back to the Beastmaster’s Space.
He looked over his shoulder.
Behind him, there was not a single Demon.
It wasn’t like this before.
Although the Phantom Demon was fast, there would always be some Demons stubbornly chasing them.
Now, there wasn’t a single Demon behind them.
It reminded Chen Fan of the Ancient Divine Domain’s Boundary-sealing Stele from the Four Realms.
Those Void Demons that crawled out of the fissures would avoid getting too close to the Boundary-sealing Stele.
Chen Fan looked to the left…
The Tongtian Divine Column was still clearly visible.
No matter how long they had traveled or how fast they had moved, the Tongtian Divine Column always remained in sight, neither getting closer nor further away.
Chen Fan activated the defense of his Battle Armor, then stepped towards the frozen palace, Heaven-severing Demon Sword in hand.
It was bitterly cold.
And eerily quiet.
The massive palace seemed like a giant beast with its maw wide open, waiting for Chen Fan to walk into its mouth.
As Chen Fan approached the palace, he simultaneously released his psychic energy to probe the palace’s interior.
There were restrictions…
After his psychic energy entered the palace, it was rebounded in many areas.
His psychic energy quickly traveled through the palace.
There were no people.
No gods.
He couldn’t find any living beings.
Chen Fan remained on high alert.
It wouldn’t have been strange to find gods in the Ancient Divine Domain.
It was also normal that his psychic sensing couldn’t detect them.
But the unknown always brought fear.
Chen Fan carefully climbed the palace steps, one at a time.
Despite not detecting anything with his psychic power, he stayed cautious and tiptoed, fearing that a heavy step would awaken some terrifying existence.</p
