Chapter 170: Experts Missing, Devouring Great Emperor Realm

Night fell, cool as water.

Within the magnificent Great Qian Imperial Palace, Ye Lang, transformed into a tiny mosquito, traversed the formations and was using the Instantaneous Flash Domain to continuously move towards the depths of the Imperial Palace!

At this moment, his body was already minuscule, his aura concealed, and coupled with the uninterrupted use of the Instantaneous Flash Domain, he seemed to have become invisible in the night.

Indeed, no one detected him!

“However, all the way here… why haven’t I encountered even a single cultivator above the Great Emperor Realm?”

Ye Lang paused in a corner, his mind filled with questions as he muttered to himself.

According to his estimation, the Great Qian cultivators should have already retreated from the East Sea by now; after all, Li Mie had been frightened out of his wits by him!

With Wan Ze sending Little Black back, there was no way Great Qian could conquer the Myriad Islands Alliance!

Even if they hadn’t retreated yet, a power like Great Qian wouldn’t leave the Imperial Palace without Great Emperor Realm guardians!

How could he have traveled this far without encountering a single one?

“Forget it, without experts around, I might as well go directly to the sealed area.”

Shaking his head, Ye Lang wasn’t particularly interested in Great Qian’s affairs. Even if all those Great Emperor Realm cultivators died, what did it have to do with him?

They were enemies anyway!

Moreover, their absence saved him the trouble of concealing himself!

Immediately, Ye Lang activated the Instantaneous Flash Domain once more, and the map given to him by the Great Bone Great Saint appeared in his mind.

After determining the direction, Ye Lang went straight towards that location.

Without experts above the Great Emperor Realm, the Emperor Realm cultivators within the Great Qian Imperial Palace naturally couldn’t detect Ye Lang.

Therefore, not long after, Ye Lang arrived at the location marked on the map.

Of course, this location was situated in the depths of the Great Qian Imperial Palace, and formations and restrictions were unavoidable along the way.

However, with Saint-grade Formation Breaking Techniques, these formations naturally couldn’t stop him.

“Is this the place?”

“There’s nothing here?”

Ye Lang spread out his divine sense, muttering in puzzlement.

Before him was an unremarkable empty space, appearing somewhat abrupt within the grand Imperial Palace.

However… besides this, there was nothing else.

“The map given by the Great Bone Great Saint shouldn’t be wrong; this place might have an illusion formation or something similar.”

Ye Lang swept his divine sense around, thinking to himself, while his World-Breaking Eye slowly began to activate.

Using Transformation Skills didn’t affect his ability to use cultivation techniques.

And now, with the activation of the World-Breaking Eye, the scene before Ye Lang changed!

The original empty space vanished, replaced by the entrance of a bottomless cave!

“So the sealed area is underground. Li Mie isn’t stupid after all, knowing to use an illusion formation to hide it!”

“But in front of me, Ye Lang, are these little tricks useful?”

Ye Lang chuckled disdainfully, then his figure directly descended into the cave entrance, heading downwards.

At this moment, unbeknownst to Ye Lang, at the very bottom of this cave entrance, nearly a hundred people were gathered!

No, to be precise, they were imprisoned!

Because above their heads, a gray restriction enveloped them, restricting their movements!

These were the Great Emperor Realm cultivators who should have been stationed throughout the Great Qian Imperial Palace!

“Your, Your Majesty, what is Ancestor trying to do, why has he trapped us here?”

“That’s right, Ancestor summoned us here, but he hasn’t said anything!”

“…”

Within the restriction, these Great Qian Emperor Realm cultivators surrounded the Great Qian Emperor in the center, asking questions one after another.

They had just retreated from the East Sea to the Imperial Capital yesterday when they were summoned to this place by Ancestor’s decree!

However, after arriving, Ancestor didn’t say a word and directly trapped them here with a restriction!

They had been trapped for a whole day!

At this time, the Great Qian Emperor’s face was somewhat pale. He didn’t answer the Great Emperor Realm cultivators’ questions.

Instead, he stared fixedly at the Ancestor sitting on the altar in front of the restriction, his entire body enveloped in a dark gray mist!

At this moment, the Great Qian Emperor suddenly recalled the last time Ancestor was seriously injured by the Dark Night Wolf Emperor and summoned a dozen injured Great Emperor Realm cultivators.

And those Great Emperor Realm cultivators, after being summoned by Ancestor, all perished!

Although Ancestor said they died due to an accident with the secret formation, this matter seemed very strange no matter how he thought about it!

“Could it be…”

A terrifying guess emerged in the Great Qian Emperor’s heart!

At this time, in front of the restriction, on the altar, the dark gray mist around Li Mie slowly dispersed, his eyes tightly closed, his body motionless!

“Ancestor!”

The people inside the restriction, seeing Li Mie reveal his figure, couldn’t help but call out.

However, Li Mie seemed to not hear their calls at all, remaining motionless on the altar.

But at this moment, a dense dark gray mist filled with evil and strangeness emerged from beneath the altar!

Within the mist, a face appeared, seemingly accompanied by cackling laughter!

After the mist appeared, a dark gray mouth seemed to be attracted, emerging from above Li Mie’s head.

“Wha, what is that thing?”

Inside the restriction, the scalps of the Great Qian Great Emperor Realm cultivators went numb upon seeing the two dark gray entities.

In the center of the crowd, the Great Qian Emperor’s uneasy premonition grew stronger and stronger!

At this time, the dark gray mouth and face on Li Mie’s body transformed at the same time, looking towards the people inside the restriction.

Then, they opened their mouths wide, biting towards the people inside the restriction from afar!

“Ah!”

“Ah!”

Instantly, the Great Emperor Realm cultivators inside the restriction couldn’t help but scream!

Their faces contorted as they crouched on the ground!

“My soul… is being devoured!”

“Ah… what kind of monster is this!”

“…”

Screams rose and fell within the restriction, but as time passed, the sounds gradually faded.

The bodies of the Great Emperor Realm experts lay stiffly on the ground.

At this time, on the other side of the restriction, at the entrance leading to the ground, an extremely inconspicuous figure, without a trace of aura, quietly descended.

This figure was naturally Ye Lang!

“It seems Li Mie has been completely influenced by that Soul Race Great Saint, actually devouring the souls of these Great Qian Great Emperor Realm cultivators!”

“And this Soul Race Great Saint can actually do this; I wonder how loose his seal has become!”

Looking at the scene before him, Ye Lang couldn’t help but feel a sense of dread, secretly thinking.

He had been here for a while, but because he was afraid of exposing himself, he had been hiding above the cave entrance.

But after watching for a long time, Ye Lang noticed that Li Mie seemed to be in some kind of state and wouldn’t discover him.

As for those Great Emperor Realm cultivators… weren’t they almost all dead? That’s why he revealed himself.

At this time, Ye Lang’s divine sense lingered on the altar beneath Li Mie. He could sense an aura of Void Origin from beneath the altar.

It seemed that was the formation’s core that sealed the Soul Race Great Saint!
