Chapter 232: Falling into the Abyss

Swish! Swish!

Piloting the Blood God Palace, it tore through the endless mist, flashing forward, each flash spanning at least tens of millions of kilometers.

Soon, he saw that shocking scene in the distance—

A boundless violet‑red torrent of thunder‑fire surged out like a long dragon from a cavern on a cliff side of Wanku Gorge!

Scorching lightning, boiling flames, an endless raging torrent of energy kept spewing and wildly expanding, forming around the cavern a sea of thunder‑fire nearly one light‑year in diameter! Within that virtually infinite sea of thunder‑fire, a towering temple, hundreds of billions of kilometers tall and shrouded in a hazy cyan glow, floated silently.

No matter how the raging lightning and flames surged and burned, they could not affect the temple at all! "Ha ha, it's another Palace Type Supreme Treasure that can bathe in that endless thunder‑fire without any damage—at least it's a Peak Palace Supreme Treasure!"

Zhou Yang's eyes lit up!

A Peak Palace Supreme Treasure can be said to be the most powerful class of treasure beneath the Supreme Strongest Treasure, its value already approaching infinitely that of an ordinary Supreme Strongest Treasure!

Know that even a Top-tier Palace Supreme Treasure is hard for the Universe Strongest's full‑force strike to destroy!

And a Peak Palace Supreme Treasure already exceeds the attack ceiling of all known strong beings in the current Universe Sea!

As long as one hides within a Peak Palace Supreme Treasure, unless suppressed into the Small Universe of the Universe Strongest or trapped in some extremely special peril, theoretically it is almost impossible for Yun Luo to happen! Of course, being hard to Yun Luo does not mean it will never Yun Luo.

Like the founder of the great axe who, in the original text, obtained the Supreme Strongest Treasure Divine Axe, whose attack potency nearly reached the ninth‑tier pinnacle! Such overwhelming power, although still unable to directly damage a Peak Palace Supreme Treasure, can, via a faint residual attack that permeates through the Palace Type Supreme Treasure, still cause a most powerful Universe Master to Yun Luo! Likewise, the Yuanzu who has always existed in Human Race legends, whose soul attack alone reaches tenth‑tier potency, and whose full‑force burst can even directly slay a relatively ordinary Universe Strongest! In the face of such strong beings, a Peak Palace Supreme Treasure is merely no more than that; of course, such beings' battles are still far beyond Zhou Yang.

For him now, if he possessed a Peak Palace Supreme Treasure, then when traversing the Three Great Forbidden Lands again—such as passing through most perils within their Inner Domains—he could simply dive into the palace and, relying on the treasure's power, rush straight through, greatly boosting both safety and treasure‑hunting efficiency!

"Ha ha, it seems Wanku Gorge truly has fate with me; I arrived here only a short while ago and already obtained a Peak Palace Supreme Treasure—truly a lucky place for me!"

Zhou Yang felt extremely pleased at that moment.

He quickly Teleported toward the edge of the thunder‑fire ocean, then immediately commanded the Jianhe Luo Domain to coalesce into a golden sword blade that surged instantly into the thunder‑fire sea!

Heh heh heh~~~

The golden sword blade ripped through the endless thunder‑fire, sprinting forward, and soon neared the towering temple at the very center of the thunder‑fire sea.

This golden blade was formed from the Jianhe Luo Domain, containing a trace of Zhou Yang's divine power imprint.

As long as the blade contacts that Palace Type Supreme Treasure, it can instantly refine the divine power to recognize its master! "Hm?"

But at that moment, Zhou Yang suddenly felt something and his gaze involuntarily swept upward.

The instant he looked up—Boom! A massive, utterly chaotic Spiritual Torrent surged across the endless void and struck instantly!

The source of this Spiritual Torrent was the Insect Race Empress within the Empress Palace, together with six Insect Race matriarchs of Universe Master level!

It should be known that each Insect Race matriarch is a peak master adept at Spiritual and illusion attacks.

This Spiritual Torrent was further formed by the sole Insect Race Empress of the Original Universe who holds the Universe Strongest rank, together with six powerful Insect Race matriarchs of Universe Master rank, its potency reaching a terrifying level!

Boom—rumble—~~~ The previously invisible Spiritual Torrent almost roared like a mountain‑sea tsunami!

The mighty Spiritual Power almost instantly pierced the Top-tier Palace Supreme Treasure Blood God Palace, the Peak set Supreme Treasure Reincarnation Divine Armor, the high‑grade Soul Defense Supreme Treasure 'Gold Dim Light', and a layer of soul defense formed by the Universe Master's strongest Fusion Secret Method 'Shan Shui'. Even after being weakened by these multiple barriers, the Spiritual Torrent remained unimaginably powerful, then struck directly into the depths of Zhou Yang's soul! "Buzz~~~"

Under the impact of this mighty Spiritual Torrent, Zhou Yang inevitably fell into a momentary daze!

Yes, it was merely a daze; now his will already rivals that of an ordinary Universe Strongest, so although the Spiritual Torrent's impact was extreme, after being filtered through many layers and then borne by his will comparable to a Universe Strongest's, it is hard for it to inflict serious harm! However, in that very moment of distraction, a wildly extreme energy attack immediately followed! Through the opened passage beneath the Empress Palace, one could vaguely see seven exquisitely enchanting slender figures and a dense swarm of over several thousand ferocious Insect Race warriors!

Heh heh heh~~~

Blazing golden light burst forth!

An energy attack gathered from a Universe Strongest, six Insect Race matriarchs of Universe Master level, and thousands of Insect Race warriors whose strength rivals top‑tier Universal Overlord level, descended instantly! The wildly extreme, concentrated energy field even tore the incredibly stable space of Wanku Gorge apart, ripping it open! Whoosh—~~~ Space fractured, the raging energy slammed onto the Blood God Palace; under this ultimate energy impact, the Blood God Palace rolled wildly like a small stone, transforming into a streak of light that shot backward!

But at that moment the Insect Race Empress felt a vague difficulty! "Bad, Zhou Yang's willpower is too strong; he has stubbornly withstood our combined soul attack. Once he awakens, he'll likely immediately use that special concealment technique to flee, and his Palace Type Supreme Treasure is also of Top-level Treasure Level, so we may not be able to break it in a short time."

If the assault continues, relying on the Insect Race's combined strike power, even with the constantly seeping residual attacks, the Empress is confident she can gradually wear Zhou Yang down.

But the fear is that once Zhou Yang awakens he will flee immediately, giving them no chance to expend their attacks!

A hint of anxiety appeared on the Empress's beautiful face; she tightened her expression and immediately altered the command! "Bad, Zhou Yang is about to break free from the soul suppression! We can only try to hurl that Palace Type Supreme Treasure into the mountain‑wall passage! That passage is so deep that even a Universe Strongest cannot penetrate it; it will surely cause Zhou Yang to Yun Luo!"

Now she can only gamble, betting that the mountain‑wall passage of Wanku Gorge contains enough power to limit and eradicate Zhou Yang! Whoosh— the Empress Palace swiftly adjusted its angle, then accelerated, reaching thousands of times light speed in an instant! "Bang!"

The towering Empress Palace, hundreds of billions of kilometers tall, a Supreme Strongest Treasure, slammed into the falling Blood God Palace at a thousand times light speed! At this moment Zhou Yang was still in a brief daze; the Blood God Palace, no longer under his control, had no resistance, and was struck by the Empress Palace with full force, instantly turning into a streak of blood‑colored light that shot backward into a huge opening in the mountain wall.

Hoo‑hoo‑hoo~~~ Inside the cavern, an endless gale of Violent Wind seemed to sweep by, carrying the blood‑colored palace away in an instant, leaving no trace! (End of Chapter)
