The protective force outside the Sea King's Palace was extremely strong. Nine Cloud Saint had tried to break through it but it wasn't enough. He estimated that he would need at least the power of Great Saint Realm. Pristine Saint Realm wouldn't be enough.
Fortunately, he had the 'key'.
Nine Cloud Saint took out the key. It was a regular water droplet the size of a palm. It was dark gold in color and it emitted a dark blue halo. It seemed to be filled with mysteriousness. It looked like some kind of scale. It looked like a snake's scale or a fish's scale.
When Chen Zong saw it, he immediately felt that the scale seemed to contain a great mystery.
"Everyone, I'm going to open it. Take note that the time is very short. You must enter as soon as possible." Nine Cloud Saint said. As soon as his voice fell, he gently placed the unknown scale on the protective force outside the Sea King's Palace. The protective force shook slightly without any sound and a gap appeared as though it was melting.
Nine Cloud Saint immediately rushed in. Chen Zong and the other two also rushed in. In an instant, the gap quickly healed and returned to normal.
Without the key, everyone would be trapped and it would be difficult for them to escape.
As soon as they entered the protective force of the Sea King's Palace, they immediately felt different. There was no seawater. The seawater was isolated by a layer of protective force. They no longer felt suppressed and restrained like they were at the bottom of the sea. It was as though a heavy burden had been lifted and they felt extremely relaxed.
At the same time, they also felt a strong fluctuation of water vapor.
The Sea King's Palace that they saw from the outside wasn't huge. However, after entering, the Sea King's Palace seemed to be magnified by more than ten times. It was extremely shocking. The palace's door was tightly shut. The four of them immediately pushed it open. A burst of obscure sound was heard. Soon after the door was pushed open, a fishy smell surged out like billowing smoke, causing everyone to choke.
It was a long while before the rich fishy smell of the sea finally dissipated, and everyone stepped into the sea.
Behind the palace door, there wasn't a hall but a waterside pavilion. If one didn't think that they were at the bottom of the sea, they would think that they were on land. However, the architectural style here was different from the architectural style of land.
Those pavilions and terraces were shaped like dragons, snakes, or turtles lying on the ground. There were also giant whales, sharks soaring into the sky, and so on. They were all very lifelike.
Nine Cloud Saint had already seen such a scene once, but this was the first time Chen Zong and the other two had seen it, and they gasped in amazement.
Every Saint-level powerhouse had rich experiences. There were more and more things that could surprise them, but the things that could surprise them were definitely not ordinary.
After that, everyone noticed that the pavilions and waterside pavilions weren't ordinary. They were carved from some precious gems and treasures. If they were brought to the various cities in the continent, they would be able to be sold at a shockingly high price, causing countless people to scramble like ducks and treat them as family heirlooms.
Such a treasure was only used as a decoration for the pavilion. How shocking was that? Even a Saint Level expert couldn't help but feel surprised.
Not to mention them, even the Great Sage Realm experts didn't have such extravagance.
It was truly worthy of being a palace left behind by a Divine Ancestor Sea Emperor. Everyone was looking forward to the harvest of this trip.
"Everyone, this should be the front garden of the Sea God's palace. There aren't any treasures here, and there shouldn't be any danger either. However, you'll have to be careful from now on." Nine Cloud Saint had been here before, and knew more about this place.
The front garden was very big. After everyone passed through it, they stepped into the range of the Middle Hall.
At the entrance of the Middle Hall, there were two statues. They looked like human statues, but at the same time, they weren't human statues.
Chen Zong and the others looked carefully. The two statues were five meters tall. They had a head, a body, and two arms, but no legs. To put it simply, they had a head, two arms, and a body like a human, but they also had some features that didn't belong to a human. For example, their ears weren't human ears, but fish fins.
Their hair was not like that of a human's. Instead, it was very thick. Upon closer inspection, it looked like seaweed. The lines on their faces were extremely firm, and the pupils in their eyes seemed to be layered. It was very strange, and two fleshy feelers extended from their chins.
Their bodies were very strong, and their arms were also very thick. They were wearing close-fitting armour. Fine scales could be seen on the exposed parts of their armour, and they were very smooth.
The most distinctive feature was their lower body. It wasn't a pair of legs or feet, but a whole body. It looked like a fish's tail, but it also looked like a snake's tail. It was a combination of a snake's tail and a fish's tail.
"Be careful." Nine Cloud Saint stared at the two strange-looking statues in fear. Looking at his expression, it seemed like he had suffered a loss before. However, these two statues didn't have the slightest bit of Qi.
"They're the Sea Clan." Nine Cloud Saint said solemnly. Chen Zong and the other two were surprised. They couldn't help but take a few more glances. It turned out that these were the legendary Sea Clan. They actually looked like this.
The upper bodies of these two five-meter-tall Sea Clan members were very strong. Each of them held a trident, and they crossed each other, blocking the entrance of the Middle Hall.
The trident was more than three meters long, and it gave off a very heavy feeling.
"Last time, when I wanted to enter the Middle Hall, these two statues came to life. They have the strength of the Pristine Saint Realm. They blocked me outside, and I couldn't enter," Nine Cloud Saint said. He had been stopped here the last time.
Nine Cloud Saint's strength wasn't weak, and he was considered strong among the Pristine Saint Realm. However, he still couldn't enter the Middle Hall. From this point alone, it was enough to show that these two Sea King experts weren't weak at all.
However, there were four of them joining forces this time.
Nine Cloud Saint took the lead. When he got close to the two Sea King statues, the eyes of the two statues suddenly trembled, and there seemed to be ripples spreading out. In the next moment, something seemed to sprinkle out from the two Sea Kings, and they came to life.
As soon as they came to life, the two Sea Kings turned their heads to look at Nine Cloud Saint. Divine light shot out from their eyes, and a shocking pressure burst out, as if it was going to crush everything. It was like a raging sea tide.
Immediately after, the two Sea Kings let out a roar, as if they were shouting something. It was the language of the Sea Clan, and no one could understand it. However, they could feel the anger contained in it.
Enraged, the Sea King immediately brandished the trident in his hand, which was more than three meters long and nearly four meters long. An extremely frightening torrent of power erupted from the trident as it swept across the sky like a thunderbolt. It was as ferocious as a giant's strength, capable of destroying everything in its path. The void was shattered by the trident.
Strong!
Chen Zong and the others couldn't help but change their expressions. Putting everything else aside, the attack power of the two Sea Kings was indeed very strong. It was very terrifying, and it could destroy everything.
Nine Cloud Saint was completely locked in place. His expression changed drastically, and he became extremely solemn. He immediately retreated, but he couldn't avoid the tyrannical attack of the two tridents even if he retreated.
"Everyone, please attack." Nine Cloud Saint slapped out with his palms, sending out clouds of palm imprints that tore through the air with gentleness and toughness. However, they were directly destroyed by the two tridents. The power was simply too tyrannical and too violent. Nine Cloud Saint couldn't withstand it at all.
The Jade Flower Saint struck out. A flower appeared out of nowhere and bloomed, blocking one of the tridents. The Star-slashing Sword Saint also unleashed his power at that moment. He slashed out with his blade, and it was like a burst of starlight as it slashed towards the other trident.
However, neither the flower nor the Star-slashing Sword Light were able to truly block the tyrannical attack of the tridents. They were broken through. Chen Zong drew his sword, and with a flash of light, there seemed to be a sword chime that spread out in all directions.
The sword light slashed across the sky, bringing with it an extremely tyrannical force, like a comet streaking across the sky.
The Prodigious Astral Sword!
The sword Qi in the technique was extremely powerful. As soon as it was unleashed, its power was extremely terrifying. It blocked the two tridents' attacks decisively and knocked them back. Of course, it was only able to block and knock them back because Nine Cloud Saint and the other two had taken action one after another, weakening part of the tridents' power.
However, the two Sea Kings were not so easy to deal with. After their first brutal attack was blocked, they immediately launched a second attack. They covered the area in front of them like they were capable of annihilating a thousand armies. Their forces overlapped and intertwined with each other, forming a chaotic force that continuously pulled everyone in.
However, their bodies did not move at all. They only relied on their extremely powerful and vigorous strength to control the nearly four-meter-long trident, erupting with even more terrifying power.
At that moment, they seemed invincible.
"Everyone, don't hold back. Defeat them first," Nine Cloud Saint immediately called out.
Perhaps they could make it through, but what would happen after that?
Would the two Sea Kings chase after him?
Most likely, they would. Once they pursued them, if they encountered other Ocean Kings after entering the middle hall, they would be caught in a pincer attack, which would be even more disadvantageous for them. Hence, they had to defeat the two Ocean Kings first.
Kill!
The four of them understood that and immediately made arrangements.
Nine Cloud Saint and Chen Zong worked together, while Jade Flower Saint and Star-slashing Sword Saint worked together.
Nine Cloud Saint and Jade Flower Saint were lacking in frontal attacks. They were more adept at restraining and defense, while Chen Zong was a sword cultivator and Star-slashing Sword Saint was a blade cultivator. They were both experts who were very adept at attacking.
Nine Cloud Saint made his move and blasted out clouds of mist. These clouds of mist were soft and tough, and to a certain extent, they were able to restrain the Sea King's trident. Chen Zong quickly closed in and slashed out with his sword light. Streaks of sword light were like blooming stars, and they all carried an extremely shocking force as they attacked with great might.
The Star-slashing Sword Saint could not help but glance at Chen Zong. Then, he focused on the Ocean King in front of him. With a blade in hand, the powerful and pure blade will became even more powerful. The pressure of the blade swept across the sky and the long blade slashed down with astonishing force.
The battle became incomparably intense and shocking in an instant.
