Chapter 2279 - 2282: Four Seas Dragon Palace

Amidst the reverberation of the cold voice, Shen Qiang also realized that the source of this metallic-sounding voice was a peculiar jade. Not only that, what surprised Shen Qiang even more was that, along with the metallic voice, Shen Qiang's divine sense had clearly observed that several dormant Great Demons in this palace seemed to be awakening.

But strangely, they soon calmed down again.

Not only that.

What's even more bizarre is that even though the divine sense is just inside that unfamiliar Dragon Palace, Shen Qiang has already noticed that a terrifyingly powerful aura thousands of kilometers away in the sea has not only erupted into the sky but is also approaching him at a frightening speed.

"Such a strange feeling, now I seem to have broken free from the constraints of my body, my divine sense is incredibly free."

As Shen Qiang pondered in amazement, he curiously surveyed this Dragon Palace.

Compared to the Dragon Palace in the Pacific Ocean, this Dragon Palace is not only not small, it is even larger than the Pacific's Dragon Palace.

Moreover, at least thirty-two Great Sea Demons are slumbering in the entire Dragon Palace.

Shen Qiang tried to communicate with them.

There's a response.

But it's rather slight, apparently still insufficient to awaken them.

This left Shen Qiang slightly disappointed.

Simultaneously, what surprised Shen Qiang even more was that there was also a Dragon Throne in this Dragon Palace.

Shen Qiang instinctively went to sit on it.

Boom!

The divine sense, now thousands of kilometers away from his body, agitated once more.

Not only did it instantly depart from there, it ventured toward a more distant place, an occurrence that made Shen Qiang subconsciously curious.

And almost at the same time, the Sea Emperor, rapidly advancing toward the Atlantic Dragon Palace, abruptly halted, looking toward the Dragon Palace's direction with eyes both surprised and bewildered.

"The aura has vanished, is he hiding from me? Or has he left for something? He must be hiding from me, his aura is so weak, probably he doesn't wish to meet me, besides, with just that level of power, he is fundamentally no match for me."

The Sea Emperor stood proudly with a smug cold smile on his lips.

Meanwhile, in the North Pole, an extremely ancient giant ship covered with residual ice was sailing among floating ice.

Wearing a cowboy hat, the terrifying-looking captain sat in the main seat inside the cabin.

"Butes, that prince, is an imbecile, to stumble in the Huaxia Sea Border, it's simply laughable, especially since after the disappearance of the Dragon Emperor, the Huaxia Sea Border had become a pasture for Sea Demons. If not for the fear of those Huaxia cultivators, we'd have captured that place long ago," a crew member wearing a shabby leather jacket, looking very unkempt with oysters growing on the side of his head, said.

Other Great Sea Demons also laughed.

"That prince Butes, after returning to the Atlantic, bragged everywhere about the power of that guy named Shen Qiang, trying to convince everyone he's a powerful figure."

"He's just making excuses for his incompetence!"

"The Pacific Ocean is the largest sea, but the truly powerful Sea Demons are just a few Demon Kings, Yu Jiang, Tianzhao, Yamakoshi, Heavenly Consort, Azhen Yixian, and others, to see the Sea Emperor's son being beaten to a pulp by a Huaxia cultivator and losing the Mermaid Princess is simply a disgrace to the Sea Demon Realm."

As they looked at the laughing Sea Demons, seated at the prime position, the captain also laughed.

"It seems Butes doesn't have the courage to trouble that Shen Qiang again, so I'll take that Mermaid Princess for myself. Once I head to the Huaxia Sea Border, I'll first kill that brat named Shen Qiang, and then take away that Mermaid Princess, I believe he wouldn't dare utter a word."

The numerous Sea Demons laughed.

Meanwhile.

A terrifying powerful aura suddenly flashed through their divine senses.

In an instant, not only did all the Sea Demons stop laughing, but the entire cabin fell silent, with only the crackling sounds of firewood and the sizzling of heated water.

"I feel a bit anxious."

The unkempt Sea Demon with oysters growing on him looked nervously at the captain.

"Is it him?"

Several Great Sea Demons looked tense.

Boom!

Just hundreds of kilometers away, a faint glow emerged from the sea.

In an instant, the captain smiled, not only did Shen Qiang become incredibly fierce, but he also spoke with a savage tone: "That being who has ruled the ocean for hundreds of thousands of years has returned!"

Instantly, the numerous Great Demons were appalled.

"Turn the rudder, change the course, although his aura is now weak enough to be barely discernible, attempting to use such a method to deceive me is absolutely dreaming! Dragon Emperor, you win, I'm out."

With the captain's words.

The ancient ship covered in residual ice thunderously submerged underwater.

When it resurfaced, the course was entirely different from before, not only that, the rapidly departing speed was swift as lightning, disappearing in the fog on the sea in the blink of an eye.

"Sea Demons, your Emperor has returned!"

Under the North Pole, in the Dragon Palace, Shen Qiang again heard that metallic cold voice.

Indeed, just like the Dragon Palace in the Atlantic.

This Dragon Palace also had no vitality.

Yet, similarly, a group of Great Sea Demons was sleeping here.

Shen Qiang also tried to awaken them, but subsequently found out, almost like before, they responded to his call, but not enough to wake up.

"Is my cultivation too weak?"

Shen Qiang wondered.

But after scrutinizing the Dragon Palace, realizing its layout was no different from the others, Shen Qiang was no longer interested in staying here.

Boom!

The divine sense instantly departed.

Meanwhile, in the Indian Ocean, inside a magnificent palace.

A super powerful Sea Demon with an extraordinary demeanor, donned in golden ornaments, with seven snake heads on top, was sitting cross-legged on a soft bed.

A dozen Sea Demons by the side looked solemn.

"There's news from the Pacific side, the Dragon Palace has reverted to its legendary state, the Sea Demons there are all saying the Dragon Emperor has returned."

Upon hearing this, the super powerful Sea Demon adorned with gold and seven snake heads was surprised: "Is that possible? Dragon Emperor...if he really returned, it wouldn't be without fuss."

But just as her voice fell, a terrifying aura flashed within her divine sense scope.

Causing her to be utterly shocked.

"Sea Demons, your Emperor has returned."

A thousand kilometers away, the same thing occurred once more.

With his divine sense inspecting the Dragon Palace, which held no novelty and was somewhat familiar, Shen Qiang sighed, then frowned.

"Referencing those ancient legends, if my guesses are not incorrect, these places are likely the Four Seas Dragon Palace, distributed in the Pacific, Atlantic, North Pole, and Indian Ocean. The Dragon King loves treasures, and these Dragon Palaces should contain a wealth of goodies, but unfortunately, there's no chance to explore now because if I didn't guess wrong, next time my divine sense should return to the position of my body."

Boom!

In the next second, Shen Qiang sitting idly on the Dragon Throne awakened.
