On the ninth floor of the Neptunean Divine Palace, an old man sat in a gloomy cave with his presence concealed in a desolate mountain range that few people set foot in.
It was obvious with a single glance that the old man was hiding from something. He was extremely cautious. Not only did he carefully conceal himself at all times, but he even covered the surroundings of the cave with various concealment formations of quite a high level. Even if an expert on the level of a Divine King passed by the cave, they would not discover the secrets hidden here.
"Just who is this Ming Dong? He's actually killed four supreme Divine Kings in a row. Even Yun Xiaoyan of the Thousand Lotus Empire and Cangmang Feiyan of the Cangmang clan have died …" The old man frowned as he murmured to himself.
The old man was the Divine King below the Divine King, Cang Ying!
Cang Ying had not emerged in the past few days. He had been hiding in the cave the entire time, doing his best to avoid clashing with Ming Dong.
When he had made this decision, it was not because he feared Ming Dong. Instead, he did not want to become a burden to the young master of Mo Cheng. He had come to the Blue Poseidon Palace this time under his master's orders to protect Mo Cheng.
Although he had not emerged in the past few days, he was extremely well-informed. He basically knew everything that had happened in the Blue Poseidon Palace. As a result, he obviously knew what Ming Dong had done.
In the beginning, Cang Ying had been deeply shocked when Ming Dong had killed two Divine Kings in the battle on the Moon's View Peak. Afterwards, when several supreme Godkings died to Ming Dong's hands one after another, Cang Ying truly began to take Ming Dong seriously. As a matter of fact, it had even reached the level of fear.
"Looks like the Blue Poseidon Palace is not a place to stay for long. For the young master's safety, I might as well take the young master out of the Blue Poseidon Palace ahead of time," Cang Ying thought.
However, at this moment, Cang Ying's eyes suddenly narrowed. He suddenly raised his hand and a piece of azure scale vaguely appeared on his palm. It flickered with light. A great sense of danger was clearly transmitted to Cang Ying's heart through the scale.
"Oh no!" Cang Ying's face changed. Without any hesitation, he vanished from the gloomy cave with a slight sway of his body. When he reappeared, he was already outside the cave. He hurriedly sent a message to Mo Cheng, who was in seclusion in another cave. Afterwards, azure light flickered on his body as he shot off into the distance with unbelievable speed.
At the same time, the silent space in the air above the mountain range suddenly twisted. Ming Dong silently appeared there with the five divine generals.
"I never thought that he would be able to sense our arrival, but since I've found him, he can forget about escaping. Chase him!" Ming Dong glared at Cang Ying's departing figure as he said emotionlessly. He immediately chased after him with the five divine generals.
In terms of strength, Cang Ying might only be at the bottom of the Divine King's list, but in terms of speed, he was definitely one of the best.
Azure light flickered on Cang Ying. At that moment, he seemed to have become an azure peng. He shot through the ninth floor at an extremely terrifying speed, crossing a hundred thousand kilometers in a single instance. He moved even faster than a meteor. It was truly terrifying. When he flew over a few Divine Kings, some of them did not even sense him at all. They did not discover his existence.
Ming Dong pursued Cang Ying closely with the five divine generals. They all used secret techniques and pushed their speed to the limit. In particular, the Laws of Wind revolved around Ming Dong. He turned into a gentle gust of wind as he rapidly advanced.
However, they were still far behind Cang Ying. It was difficult for them to catch up.
"That's the Azure Peng's Movement Technique! Ninth majesty, the Azure Peng is a rather renowned peak expert in the Saints' World. He's renowned for his speed. Since this person possesses the Azure Peng's Movement Technique, it'll be very difficult for us to catch up to him, "said a divine general behind Ming Dong.
"Really? Then let's see how long he can maintain this speed for, "sneered Ming Dong. He used a secret technique. As he formed seals with his hands, a dazzling ball of golden light suddenly appeared, condensing into the shape of a tower.
As soon as the pagoda was formed, a vast and majestic aura spread out. There seemed to be a supreme Taoist Rhyme circulating on the pagoda. Although it was hazy and blurry, it gave people the illusion that it could suppress the Great Way of Heaven and Earth.
If Jianchen were present, he would definitely be able to tell with a single glance that the tower Ming Dong had condensed was seventy percent similar to the Anatta Tower. The difference was because the Anatta Tower was just too damaged, making it difficult for him to take a closer look.
Moreover, the presences of the two towers were completely different as well. The Anatta Tower in Jianchen's hand seemed extremely ordinary. Aside from being covered in sword slashes, there was nothing particularly special about it. However, the tower Ming Dong had condensed through a secret technique gave off a presence that could make the world pale. It was extremely dazzling and sharp, such that no one could ignore its existence.
"According to my eighth senior sister, this technique was created by my first senior sister based on master's famed treasure in the past. Even though I can't even unleash a ten-thousandth of the technique's power with my current cultivation, it's nowhere near as powerful as the other battle skills I know in an open battle. However, this technique can pierce through space and ignore the distance of space. It's perfect for a situation like this, "Ming Dong growled before extending a finger towards Cang Ying from afar.
With that, the figure of the Anatta Tower condensed before him immediately vanished. It pierced through space and passed through the restraints of space and time, appearing behind Cang Ying in a single instance.
Cang Ying naturally sensed the danger behind him, which made his face change drastically. However, Ming Dong's secret technique had been created based on the Anatta Tower. Even though the power it could unleash was extremely limited in Ming Dong's hands, it still possessed some of the Anatta Tower's charm, so Cang Ying was unable to dodge it at all.
"Bang!"
With a heavy sound, the figure of the Anatta Tower struck Cang Ying's back, causing him to vomit blood. He was heavily injured and slowed down as well.
Cang Ying's heart sank. He knew that it was difficult for him to maintain his advantage against the pursuit of the people behind him in his current state. Determination immediately filled his face as he rapidly advanced towards the eighth floor.
Many Divine Kings had already gathered on the eighth floor of the Anatta Tower in the world of volcanoes. There were so many of them that there were over ten thousand of them. Even the supreme Divine King below the Divine King had quite a few of them.
Moreover, the number was constantly increasing because Divine Kings would be descending from the ninth floor or climbing up from the seventh at basically every single moment.
As a result, basically over eighty percent of the cultivators on the Poseidon Palace had gathered on the eighth floor of the Poseidon Palace.
All of them gathered around the spot where Jianchen had fallen into the lava. Sometimes, their eyes would shine brightly as they stared at the churning lava below. Other times, they would close their eyes and sense carefully as if they were searching for something.
"Since that girl is protected by the power of the Poseidon Palace, she definitely won't die. Everyone, let's think of a way and see if we can enter the lava to search …"
"That's right. That girl must be trapped in the lava. With her mere strength at the Mortal realm, she can't come up at all. We need to save her …"
"The lava is terrifying, but we have defensive god artifacts. If we work together and push the god artifacts to their limits, I believe we can last a while in the lava …"
"That girl is extremely important. We have to find her no matter what. We can't afford to fail …"
