High-Martial World: System Arrives 30 Years Late-Chapter 314 - 264: Dragon Palace, Crystal Transformation, Invincible Domain!
Soon, a gigantic whirlpool appeared ahead, and from within it emanated billowing heat.
The Great White Bear pointed at the whirlpool, indicating that there was no need to resist when passing through it; just follow the whirlpool to reach where the Ice Salmon was.
"Alright, let’s go."
Having said that, Su Mu glanced at Foodie, who immediately approached Su Mu, for one can never be too cautious against bears.
The whirlpool swallowed one person and two beasts, and amidst the surging heat, Su Mu felt weightlessness and a powerful surge of spatial energy.
"Space transmission, someone has set up a teleportation array in the icy river, quite a grand gesture."
Su Mu squinted his eyes slightly, growing even more expectant in his heart.
As the water gushed back, Su Mu immediately felt the drastic change in temperature, going from dozens of degrees below zero to around zero degrees.
As he opened his eyes, spiritual power spread out, and the images of schools of fish, corals, and aquatic plants surfaced in the sea of consciousness. The dim underwater world suddenly became bright and vivid; it was crystal clear before his eyes. But soon, Su Mu softly exclaimed in surprise as he discovered that his spiritual power suddenly disappeared after reaching a certain point.
This direction was downward.
Looking down, Su Mu’s pupils contracted sharply.
It was a gigantic translucent barrier, and within the barrier stood a magnificent cluster of ancient buildings, with corridors, pavilions, and palaces clustered together, their crystal-like glazed tiles glimmering with dazzling light.
This appeared before him, and the endless palaces seemed to be just the tip of the iceberg because Su Mu saw only the top of a palace protruding.
Such a breathtaking sight left Su Mu momentarily dazed and lost, and a legendary place name surfaced in his mind. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
"Dragon Palace?"
Roar!
The Great White Bear let out a low growl infused with spiritual power, indicating that the ancient ruins could not be entered and that the Ice Salmon would appear to the south of the ruins, while those large fish would be foraging nearby.
Hmm?
Recovering from the shock of the Dragon Palace before him, Su Mu softly exclaimed as he noticed a bronze key within the space ring trembling slightly.
With a thought, Su Mu’s spiritual power explored the key and found that the trembling key was from the 996th Division’s defense line, given to him by Zhao Lin’s squad.
"Could the key be for the Dragon Palace before me?"
Su Mu’s mind raced, his eyes fixed.
The alien race Yuri previously encountered did not reach the deepest part of the Beast Cave’s ruins, but she couldn’t have come here for sightseeing. Perhaps these ruins were her actual target for this journey.
But obviously, Yuri missed the ruins beneath the icy river, and without Foodie, Su Mu would also have been unable to discover this well-hidden secret ruin.
"But where did this key come from? Obtained by slaying a Fierce Beast?"
While pondering, several uninvited guests rushed into the range of Su Mu’s spiritual power coverage, and their momentum showed they clearly weren’t here to welcome Su Mu and his companions.
Su Mu frowned, his train of thought interrupted.
"The big fish are coming."
In the corner of his eye, Su Mu noticed that the Great White Bear appeared somewhat flustered, its timidity making him even more puzzled as to how this creature had successfully grown to the Middle Stage Grandmaster level.
In the perception of spiritual power, the approaching large fish all exuded an aura indicative of only Initial Stage Grandmaster existence.
"Perfect timing, just right to practice a couple of spiritual secret techniques."
After conveying his intentions to Foodie, Foodie was overjoyed, concealing the aura of the King Beast and fluttering its wings in the water in a defiant squawk.
Hearing Foodie’s call, several large fish were instantly enraged, with the leading fish emitting a sharp and piercing long cry. Then, several streams of spiritual power vaguely locked onto the position of Foodie.
The Great White Bear, hearing this familiar long cry, knew that the large fish had been thoroughly provoked. Recalling its experience of being beaten, it silently intended to step back, then noticed Su Mu’s gaze.
Under the gaze, the Great White Bear instantly felt a greater sense of crisis; those large fish weren’t to be trifled with, but the human before it was someone it absolutely could not offend, so it wisely took a step forward.
The large fish hadn’t arrived yet, but the waves beneath the river surged up a massive commotion, carrying the might of overturning river and sea.
Next, five enormous creatures, silvery and shiny throughout their bodies, with two horns on their heads and dragging long fish whiskers, each about ten meters long like giant submarines, appeared within Su Mu’s field of vision.
In the next second, five streams of Grandmaster-level spiritual power immediately enshrouded Su Mu, the Great White Bear, and Foodie, brazenly sweeping over them back and forth.
After the scan was complete, the eyes of the towering large ice salmons, as tall as a floor, flashed with disdain and let out several mocking sounds, not even glancing at Su Mu.
In their eyes, the competitor was only the Great White Bear.
"Now that everyone is here, let’s begin."
Shared joy is better than solitary joy. Feeling the exhilaration of the large fish, Su Mu’s lips also curled up slightly, planning to share in the delight together.
He then raised his right arm, and in the sea of consciousness, the Crystal Human Form abruptly opened its eyes, reflecting upon the flesh; limbs, body, five viscera, and six viscera all glowed intensely. In miraculous resonance, the Crystal Human Form and Su Mu’s true form quickly merged into one, and subsequently, an immense spiritual power erupted forth.
As soon as this spiritual power emerged, it instantly suppressed the spiritual power released by the five large fish completely.
"Desolate Cage!"
A silver giant hand over twenty meters long instantly coalesced and then reached for the large fish, grabbing the leading fish and another beside it in an instant.
Feeling the terrifying spiritual power, the fish’s laughter abruptly stopped, and the mockery in their eyes turned to panic. The two large fish grasped in the giant hand struggled fiercely.
