I will become the Demon Immortal known to the whole world
Chapter 269 - 24: The Ruins of Jieyuan Temple

Chapter 269: Chapter 24: The Ruins of Jieyuan Temple

First, this body’s identity from the Demon Tribe was not safe, after all, it originated from the Howling Moon Mountain Range.

Second, the route ahead must be changed.

Chaotic thoughts were sorted in an instant, decisions all made.

Liang Hui’s expression gradually loosened, and his eyes looked beyond the palace with a hint of combativeness.

The Ancient Bronze Palace also, at this moment, changed direction, heading northwest.

The vast sea swept past the field of view, and occasionally, enormous Sea Beasts swimming in the waters could be seen.

Suddenly, Liang Hui’s brows furrowed deeply.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Waves tumbled as several Sea Serpents emerged from the water, their vertical pupils cold, watching the Ancient Bronze Palace in the sky.

"Fellow Daoist, the Flood Dragon King has decreed, there is a prohibition on passage ahead."

The serpent bodies tensed, ready to strike at any moment, filled with killing intent.

And the Ancient Bronze Palace merely halted, not advancing or leaving, as the atmosphere visibly grew tense.

"Please leave, Fellow Daoist. Do you wish to defy the Flood Dragon King?" the leading Sea Serpent demanded sharply.

"Why be angry, my friends? I am merely here to admire the glory of my ancestors and take a glance at the ruins of the Jieyuan Temple," replied a light chuckle from within the Ancient Bronze Palace.

The voice was very gentle, easing the heavy air.

But in the next moment, a dark green Demon Qi instantly appeared, blanketing the heavens and the earth.

Before the Sea Serpents could react, the area spanning several miles was enveloped.

"How dare you?"

Struggles intensified, and astonished, hoarse shouts echoed in the Demon Qi.

This was the Demon King who ruled over millions of miles of land, yet someone dared to defy him.

No matter how reluctant or how fiercely they struggled.

With the beast claw that extended from the Ancient Bronze Palace, everything came to an end.

Liang Hui leaned against the threshold, flicking off the blood from his fingertips, looking down at the several Sea Serpent carcasses on the ground.

Opening his mouth, he inhaled sharply.

In an instant, a whirlwind rose, and the Sea Serpents turned into fresh blood, which he swallowed in one gulp.

"Not bad energy, it can save quite a bit of cultivation time," remarked Liang Hui, caressing his abdomen, feeling the energy integrating into his body.

His hand held the scales of a Sea Serpent, sensing the unique essence within.

The youth’s gaze was profound as he whispered in his mind,

’Let me see, what is this Flood Dragon up to?’

’Enter the dream!’

In an instant, his eyes became lifeless, the perspective shifted continuously, finally settling in an underwater dragon palace.

An Azure Dragon coiled on an elevated platform with various members of the Demon Tribe lying at its feet.

There were kilometer-long octopuses, starfish, turtles, Sea Serpents.... each exuding a powerful aura, kneeling on the floor.

"Dragons!"

"No, not dragons yet."

Liang Hui’s thoughts were solemn, observing the four lumps of flesh under the dragon’s belly, as the legs were nearly formed, with only the final claws remaining.

With a thought,

The frozen scene began to flow.

"All of you, take the Dragon Palace as the center, forbid any creature from entering within tens of millions of miles," the Flood Dragon’s body writhed, its dragon eyes like a great sun, fixed on the demons below its tail.

"Yes!"

"Now leave," commanded the Flood Dragon King.

The demons retreated in unison, until only the Sea Serpent coiled its body, raising its head, staring directly at the Flood Dragon King.

"Flood Dragon King, I wonder what warrants such alarm and mobilization," the Sea Serpent inquired.

"You’re asking me?"

The Flood Dragon’s voice carried a hint of surprise.

Then, a flash of brutality shone in its dragon eyes.

Boom!

The dragon’s head suddenly lunged forward, its horns like peerless divine swords, instantly slicing through the sea, cleaving the void,

Leaving an endless strike.

The dragon’s eyes fierce, it looked upon the severed Sea Serpent body, its head’s vertical pupils still holding contemplation and vitality.

"Indeed, it’s not the Black Snake, otherwise it would have died from this strike."

"Come, let me see what exactly are you?"

"Break!"

A shrill cry, and the scene immediately froze, then slowly shattered.

Liang Hui’s lifeless eyes, once again, became expressive.

Looking at the scale in his hand, which now bore a few cracks.

"So this is the Demon King? Even this shell of a body, facing that collision, would end up like the Sea Serpent, I suppose."

All sorts of thoughts in his heart were cut off one by one as he spoke:

Enter the dream!

Enter the dream!!

Enter the dream!!!

Time and time again, the experiments with entering dreamscapes gathered information, melding it into precise intelligence.

Liang Hui gazed at the tranquil ocean, his palm open, facing downward.

A few scales turned to dust, scattering over the sea.

"Breakthrough, Demon Emperor."

"Heh!"

The youth’s eyes were dark and inscrutable, as various plans crossed his mind.

The Jade Pendant at his waist swayed slightly.

The next moment, the Jade Pendant rose, floating above his head, radiating a faint light.

Liang Hui’s figure dispersed, leaving behind a Flood Dragon in his place.

The Flood Dragon was a gleaming silver-blue, exuding authority and sanctity.

The dragon’s gaze swept the surroundings; its tail swished as it raced towards the direction of the Jieyuan Temple ruins.

Along the way, Liang Hui devoured any Demon Tribe member he encountered, regardless of their strength, converting them into nourishment for his own growth.

Three days passed by in a flash.

Liang Hui looked at the sea surface before him, which seemed no different from other waters.

The dragon head delved into the sea, rushing towards the ocean floor.

The unique aura of entering a dream appeared increasingly within his perception.

Whoosh!

Liang Hui halted his dragon body.

A current swept by, revealing ruins and walls, with bits of seaweed clinging to them, all worn and venerable.

Upon closer inspection, one could even find rusted armor plates.

Looking down, myriad auras filled his senses; through the silt, Liang Hui saw the buried remains.

They seemed inexhaustible and endless.

All these were remnants from the battle of Jieyuan Temple, mere trash to the Demon Tribe, but they held immense value for Liang Hui.

’Is it really this easy?’ thought Liang Hui to himself. He had been prepared for a few confrontations, but now it seemed unnecessary.

At most, he would only need to kill one demon.

But this was within reason. Although this place was also under lockdown, it was far from the Dragon Palace and bore no value.

"Sir, are you the Royal Brother? Why have I never seen you before?" A crisp voice came from the side.

A graceful figure emerged not far from Liang Hui, her black hair cascading over her shoulders, her cheeks were rosy and round, with transparent, crystalline Dragon Horns adorning her head, her eyes pure and curious.

Liang Hui wasn’t much startled by the sudden turn of events.

The Flood Dragon’s form shrank, revealing his robust body, his azure hair tied back, his silver eyes defiant.

"Qing Hao, from the outer seas," he said.

The girl approached, her footsteps light.

"The outer seas, I see," the girl chuckled, understanding the man’s identity.

Since the Flood Dragon embarked on the path of transformation, it was natural that, like dragons, it would beget many descendants.

Therefore, the girl was not surprised anymore.

"Royal Brother, did you come here to witness our father’s glory?"

"Hundreds of years ago, right here, father killed the so-called immortal, invincible Buddha’s Golden Body, securing the ultimate victory," the girl spoke with pride.

And Liang Hui had already reached the Dragon Maiden’s side, with just a reach out of his hand he could crush her.

Just as Liang Hui was about to make his move, he suddenly felt a twinge of unease.

His eyes narrowed slightly as he scrutinized the girl before him.

"I am indeed here to investigate the ruins. What about you, Princess?"
