Chapter 304: Flooding of the West Ocean Dragon Palace
Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated
The main gate of the palace suddenly burst into flames!
The flames burned toward the direction Little Daoist Zhen pointed at with his flag, and the magnificent main gate was burned black instantly. The 10,000-year-old ebony signboard engraved with ‘West Ocean Dragon Palace’ was burned into pieces.
It seemed like the entire West Ocean Dragon Palace would be engulfed by the fire.
By now, the elders in the palace had finally realized the severity of the attack, and they created bright red energy spheres and covered the buildings in the palace.
Hao Ren injected all his fire-elemental essence into the conch, and the sea of fire the conch created made him feel like he was the master of the world. He imagined that it must similar to the feeling of being at Qian-level and Kun-level.
A trace of five-elemental essence could summon thousands and even tens of thousands of times the nature essence. While he injected all his fire-elemental essence into the conch, he felt like all the fire-elemental essence in the area were summoned!
The insignificant-looking conch was indeed powerful!
At this moment, Hao Ren felt as if he was a reincarnation of the Fire God.
The West Ocean Dragon Palace connected red energy spheres end to end, forming an array which instantly forced the flames out of the main gate.
“Twenty-Eight Constellations Flame Array?” Zhen Congming narrowed his eyes and snorted. “You try to counter my fire array with this flame array? Ok! I’ll burn you into submission!”
He turned and touched the conch with his fingers several times.
A light flashed on the conch. Although Hao Ren didn’t sense any changes in the input of his nature essence, he found that the fire-elemental essence around him became more intense!
While the intensity of the fire-elemental essence in the conch doubled, the flames surrounding half of the West Ocean Dragon Palace doubled in fierceness!
The fire-elemental essence from the surrounding area surged toward the central spot.
The West Ocean Dragon Palace was no match for the fire-elemental essence in an area with a diameter of 100 kilometers. The power of the attack far surpassed the strength of a cultivator on Qian-level or Kun-level!
It was… almost the power of a Soul Formation Realm grandmaster!
The overwhelming flames instantly swallowed the array formation formed by the dozens of red energy spheres, and the buildings immediately burst into flames.
The cultivators in the West Ocean Dragon Palace scrambled to flee in all directions. The purple-robed elders, who were hiding in the palace controlling the array formations, flew out in panic. The moment they were in the air, a surge of hot wave welcomed them and scorched their hair and eyebrows. They landed on the ground and ran toward the rear of the palace that had not been burned yet.
The 16 most powerful elders in West Ocean had lost their cultivation strengths, and the old dragon king had been in seclusion since his return from East Ocean.
In short, the entire West Ocean Dragon Palace had no one in charge!
For West Ocean, disasters piled on one another!
Seeing that the fire got so big that it would burn the entire West Ocean Dragon Palace into ashes, Hao Ren put the conch away.
The fire-elemental essences quickly dispersed while half of the West Ocean Dragon Palace was still burning.
As a core building collapsed, the dragon palace’s basic water defense array formation broke, and endless seawater rushed into the dragon palace. The buildings that had been burned collapsed quickly under the force of the water.
All kinds of treasures, elixirs, and scrolls and techniques in the dragon palace were flushed out everywhere, and countless things got damaged in the crash.
The West Ocean Dragon Palace was flooded!
The buildings near the main gate were instantly turned into debris, and the majestic main gate and the defense walls of the West Ocean Dragon Palace collapsed as well.
Hao Ren thought that Zhen Congming would stop after destroying several buildings. However, half of the West Ocean Dragon Palace had been destroyed under their combined force.
Zhen Congming’s expression changed slightly when he saw the amount of damage he had done, and he murmured to himself, “Damn! The West Ocean Dragon Palace is as fragile as a piece of tofu!”
After a moment of consideration, he waved his hands, and the flags around the palace instantly returned into his sleeves.
Then, he took out the flight dharma treasure before pulling Hao Ren and Little White onto it with him.
Obviously, he knew he messed up again.
Swoosh!
A magnificent building in the rear of the West Ocean Dragon Palace created a backup water defense array and protected the rear half of the dragon palace from being blooded.
“Who dared to destroy my palace?”
From the back mountain of the West Ocean Dragon Palace rose a white light beam. Oldman Zeng flew toward the damaged main gate on a white blade.
He sensed the attack on the West Ocean Dragon Palace while he was in seclusion in the back mountain. However, with only the strength of Zhen-level, he had to pretend that he didn’t hear anything and hide in the back mountain that was protected by the elders.
But now, since half of the West Ocean Dragon Palace was flooded, he couldn’t hide anymore. He risked his life and rushed out!
Zhen Congming knew that he caused too much trouble, but he was not a coward. Seeing Oldman Zeng, his temper went up as well. He put away the flight dharma treasure and just stood there.
Oldman Zeng rushed out in a burst of rage.
When he looked back and saw none of the elders had followed him, he panicked a little.
However, he was experienced and was good at hiding his panic. At the sight of Hao Ren and Zhen Congming, he shouted angrily, “You guys!”
Hao Ren picked up Little White and remained silent.
Clutching the flags in his hand, Zhen Congming looked at Hao Ren and Oldman Zeng, and his face turned stern.
Seeing them ignore him, Oldman Zeng was livid with fury. However, he only had the cultivation strength of Zhen-level, and his enemies had powerful dharma treasures. He didn’t dare act too tough.
Meanwhile, Zhen Congming thought everything through quickly. He was not afraid of the so-called old dragon king of the West Ocean Dragon Palace, but if his master Qiu Niu found out that he had destroyed half of the West Ocean Dragon Palace, the home base of the West Ocean Dragon Clan, he would be severely punished.
“This is what you get for messing with my big brother! I couldn’t stop him from getting his revenge!” Zhen Congming immediately said.
“Who’s your big brother?!” Oldman Zeng stared at them viciously.
“You are still trying to act fierce with us! I’ll burn down the other half of your dragon palace!” Zhen Congming took the conch from Hao Ren’s hands and bluffed.
Seeing sparks flying out of the conch, Oldman Zeng took half a step back in astonishment and fear, but he persisted. “Who is your big brother.”
His tone softened; turned from a threat to an inquiry.
“He is my big brother!” Zhen Congming gestured to Hao Ren by his side.
Oldman Zeng was surprised. “How come Hao Ren is this kid’s big brother?”
With Little White in his arms, Hao Ren was also surprised. After all, he thought he was only a helper.
“When did I become Zhen Congming’s ‘big brother?'” he thought.
“Right! He’s my big brother! You know whom my master is, right? My master plans to take him as one of his disciples, and he is my future senior brother! Since you dared to bully him, you deserve to get your entire West Ocean Dragon Palace burned down. Today, we only burned half of it!”
The more he spoke, the fiercer he got. Little Daoist Zhen even bluffed with the name of his master so that Oldman Zeng wouldn’t dare to blame him.
As long as Hao Ren took the bulk of the blame, he didn’t mind being the little brother; he felt like a kid anyways.
Oldman Zeng looked at Hao Ren in alarm, wondering if Little Daoist Zhen was telling the truth. If Hao Ren was indeed Qiu Niu’s future disciple, he didn’t dare to make an impulsive move against Qiu Niu’s two disciples who had burned down half of his dragon palace.
“Why are you still standing there?! Do you want me to burn down the other half of your dragon palace? Apologize to my big brother!” Zhen Congming puffed up his chest and yelled in a high-pitched voice.
Oldman Zeng’s face turned from livid to white, angry that this Little Daoist Zhen demanded him to apologize to Hao Ren after getting half of his dragon palace burned down.
“I won’t ask you twice!” Little Daoist Zhen took the conch and injected a surge of fire-elemental nature essence into it.
Although he only had the cultivation strength of Li-level, the essences were extremely pure.
Standing before him, Oldman Zeng instantly sensed the significant increase in the fire-elemental essence in the area. Alarmed, he raised his hand and said, “Wait! Wait!”
Since Little Daoist Zhen’s master was Qiu Niu, Oldman Zeng could do nothing but admit defeat because even the Dragon God Shrine wouldn’t dare to do justice for him and punish Little Daoist Zhen.
If Hao Ren were only an assisting inspector, he could go and sue him at the Dragon God Shrine for destroying the West Ocean Dragon Palace. However, if he were also related to Qiu Niu, then…
“Mr. Hao, forgive me for offending you!” Oldman Zeng clenched his hands and cupped them in front of his chest to apologize to Hao Ren.
His fists clenched so tight that they shook slightly, showing the fury inside him!
Hao Ren waved his hand graciously.
“If there is nothing else, I’ll head back,” Oldman Zeng looked at Zhen Congming and said cautiously.
“Who allowed you to go back!” Zhen Congming yelled. “I’m not finished yet!”
Even though he was burning with rage, Oldman Zeng had to stop and ask, “Little Daoist Zhen, what can I do for you?”
“Lean over, and I’ll return you the slap you gave me last time. Oh, yes, I’ll add the kick your grandson gave me, too!” Zhen Congming lifted his head and said.
Oldman Zeng was furious. “This kid still wants to avenge after burning down half of my West Ocean Dragon Palace? What? This is only the interest?” he thought.
As the leader of the West Ocean Dragon Clan, he would never disgrace himself this way!
Seeing the expression on Oldman Zeng’s face change like the colors of the rainbow, Zhen Congming waved his hand. “Forget it. I’ll forgive you if you compensate me with some stuff!”
Oldman Zeng inhaled sharply and suppressed his anger. “We West Ocean Dragon Palace is poor. What do you want?”
With Little White in his arms, Hao Ren nodded slightly and thought, “This Little Daoist Zhen is indeed a ruthless kid; he is making me the scapegoat. However, this settled the new and old accounts for both of us, and it is not a bad deal.”
Unhurriedly, Zhen Congming took a breath and said, “Hand over carriages of pearls, agates, purple gold sands, and other materials; I can take them all with me. Besides, the days are getting cold, and I need to prepare some clothes for Little White. Hand over the Kirin Purple Gold Crown, the Lotus Cloud Boots, and the Platinum Chain Mail.”
“Getting cold? It is going to be summer soon!” Oldman Zeng was speechless.
Three things Little Daoist Zhen mentioned were the ultimate treasures in the West Ocean Dragon Palace!
Little White jumped from Hao Ren’s arms and swam happily around Zhen Congming.
Hao Ren looked at Little Daoist Zhen in admiration. “The kid is indeed ruthless!”
