"Are you saying that I can't possibly join the Dragon Blood Palace?" Xing Chen raised an eyebrow slightly. According to Hate Emperor, it seemed impossible for him to join the Dragon Blood Palace at all.
"Possibly, but you won't have access to the core matters of the Dragon Blood Palace from the start. You can only begin as an outer disciple, gradually elevating your status, earning the trust of the Dragon Blood Palace, and then seeking to obtain the Dragon Blood Fruit," Hate Emperor replied.
"Letting someone from Gaze into the Self be an outer disciple? How impressive is this Dragon Blood Palace?" Xing Chen scoffed.
Ordinary forces wouldn't even have a strong individual from Gaze into the Self. Once a strong individual from Gaze into the Self took charge, that force would leap to become a top-tier power.
However, the fact that the Dragon Blood Palace allowed a strong individual from Gaze into the Self to be an outer disciple left Xing Chen somewhat incredulous about just how terrifying the strength of the Dragon Blood Palace truly was.
"This is quite normal. As long as there are strong individuals in the Spirit Void Realm overseeing a force, most strong individuals from Gaze into the Self are outer disciples. Even those from Gaze of Life remain as outer disciples, much like the Ten Halls of the Underworld Palace," Hate Emperor explained slowly.
"You've already seen those Disciples of the Ten Halls. Some among them have even reached the Gaze into the Realm's Pinnacle, yet they are still considered outer disciples in relation to the Underworld Palace. This is because the Ten Halls itself is merely an outer force of the Underworld Palace. You’ve witnessed how brutal their competition is to enter the Underworld Palace, so this isn't anything surprising."
"You have a point. However, I don't have that much time to waste. Within a month, at most two months, I must obtain the Dragon Blood Fruit," Xing Chen said, his eyes flashing with a captivating light, emanating a cold aura that made Meng Xiner, who was in his arms, instinctively curl up her body.
"Alright, let's discuss this after you manage to join the Dragon Blood Palace. Ahead lies Dragon Blood Island, where the Dragon Blood Palace is established atop that highest peak," Hate Emperor said slowly.
Ahead was the Dragon Blood Palace. Although it was called a palace, it was actually a massive city standing atop the highest mountain. From afar, it resembled a palace floating among the clouds of the Nine Heavens.
The mountain peak was at least ten thousand meters high. The establishment of the Dragon Blood Palace on top allowed it to be completely detached from the mundane world. Not just ordinary people; even those at the level of Yang Spirit Realm or Half-Step Soul-Searching Realm might not be able to reach its peak and arrive at the Dragon Blood Palace.
Thus, the first test for anyone wishing to join the Dragon Blood Palace was to ascend the mountain and reach its entrance. To arrive at the gates of the Dragon Blood Palace, one must at least possess cultivation at the level of Gaze into the Self, capable of flight; otherwise, it would be nearly impossible for anyone at that level to ascend.
"Such a magnificent City, such a domineering Dragon Blood Palace!" Xing Chen murmured as he looked ahead at the Dragon Blood Palace.
The Dragon Blood Palace was established here not only to assess those who wished to join but also to symbolize its lofty position, overlooking all beings. Anyone who dared to provoke the authority of the Dragon Blood Palace was challenging the might of the earth itself.
"Indeed, it is quite domineering. Back when the Nine Nether Emperor was still around, the Dragon Blood Sovereign acted exceptionally low-key and showed great respect towards the Nine Nether Imperial Palace, not daring to defy it in any way. Who would have thought that after the Nine Nether Emperor's departure, the Dragon Blood Sovereign would suddenly rise? It seems that the strength of the Dragon Blood Palace in the Nine Nether Sea Region has already surpassed that of the Nine Nether Imperial Palace," Hate Emperor remarked with a click of his tongue.
"Since the Dragon Blood Palace has already surpassed the Nine Nether Imperial Palace, why not just destroy it outright?" Xing Chen asked with slight confusion.
"There is only one possibility: although the Dragon Blood Palace has surpassed the strength of the Nine Nether Imperial Palace, it does not have an overwhelming advantage. Therefore, it does not dare to act recklessly. With the decline of the Nine Heavens Sea, it has managed to battle against the Nine Nether Imperial Palace for so many years, likely because most of its forces are being held back by the Dragon Blood Palace. That’s why they have been unable to muster enough strength to deal with the Nine Heavens Imperial Palace," Hate Emperor realized many things in that moment.
"Moreover, that Dragon Blood Sovereign must not have broken through to the final realm of Lingxu, Transcend the Void; otherwise, he would have long since destroyed the Nine Nether Imperial Palace," Hate Emperor added with a snort.
Spirit Void Third Realm, Merging Void Realm, Heavenly Void Realm, Transcend the Void—the first two realms were Divine Lords, while the last realm was Emperor of Thunder Punishment. At that time, Hate Emperor's cultivation was at the peak of Spirit Void Realm and he might have even had one foot in Yin Yang Catastrophe Realm.
"To not break through a realm for tens of thousands of years is truly pathetic," Xing Chen said disdainfully. If it were him, he would be confident in breaking through from Heavenly Void Realm to Transcend the Void within ten years at most.
"It is indeed quite pathetic. However, with Divine Lord cultivation, living for tens of thousands of years is also quite easy. It can be assured that the Dragon Blood Sovereign is still alive," Hate Emperor replied.
Just as Xing Chen was speaking with Hate Emperor in Hate Emperor Palace, he had already arrived not far from the front of Dragon Blood Palace. At that moment, a group of strong guards protecting Dragon Blood Palace noticed Xing Chen's sudden appearance.
These guards were all powerful beings from Gaze of Life, totaling ten individuals. Upon seeing Xing Chen appear unexpectedly, one who had reached Gaze into the Realm's Pinnacle stepped forward and looked sharply at Xing Chen. "You wish to join Dragon Blood Palace? However, we do not allow unrelated individuals to enter. If you want to join us, we can conduct an assessment directly on you, but your woman cannot enter."
"Unrelated individuals are not allowed to enter? Then if I become a disciple of Dragon Blood Palace, can I bring her in with me?" Xing Chen asked as his gaze flickered slightly towards this person.
"Unless you can be promoted to an inner disciple, you are not allowed to bring anyone into the Dragon Blood Palace," the man explained to Xing Chen again.
"Xing Chen, you should just enter the Dragon Blood Palace by yourself. You don't need to worry about me," Meng Xiner said, glancing at Xing Chen.
"Then how can I become an inner disciple?" Xing Chen ignored Meng Xiner and looked at the man.
"I don't want to waste time with your useless chatter. If you want to join our Dragon Blood Palace, hurry up and take the assessment. Once you pass, I will naturally answer your questions. If you keep asking unnecessary questions, don't blame us for being rude," the man said, growing impatient.
"Hmph..." Xing Chen scoffed, then descended from the air, placing Meng Xiner next to a large tree not far away. He then said, "Don't move. Once I pass their assessment, I will bring you into the Dragon Blood Palace."
"Okay!" Meng Xiner nodded gently. Although Xing Chen's tone was cold, he still cared for her, she thought to herself.
"You can start the assessment now. What do I need to do to join the Dragon Blood Palace?" Xing Chen turned and walked toward the man who had spoken earlier.
"It's simple. You have two options. First, you can choose any one of us. As long as you can remain undefeated for one hour, you can join the Dragon Blood Palace. Second, all ten of us will attack at once; if you can withstand our combined attack and survive, you can also join the Dragon Blood Palace," the man said.
"I choose the second option." Xing Chen replied without hesitation. Although he could quickly end a fight with the first option, his opponents were strong members of Gaze of Life, and defeating them would undoubtedly take some time. Choosing the second option would allow him to join the Dragon Blood Palace more quickly by simply withstanding one combined attack.
In this situation, every second was extremely precious to Xing Chen; he did not want to waste even a moment. Thus, he decisively chose the second method.
"Kid, I advise you to think it over carefully. With the first option, you might still have a chance to join our Dragon Blood Palace. But with this second method, you're definitely going to die," the man warned kindly.
"No need for more talk; just make your move. I'm in a hurry," Xing Chen said expressionlessly.
"Then you are finished!" This person exchanged glances with a few companions, and suddenly a powerful momentum erupted from his body, which even contained a hint of Dragon Might.
At that moment, the others also unleashed the same momentum, and the faint Dragon Might combined with their overwhelming force instantly pressed down on Xing Chen, causing the ground beneath him to crack open.
"Universal Destruction Formation!"
The man from Gaze into the Realm's Pinnacle shouted loudly, and immediately, the momentum emitted by these individuals merged into one, as if it were not the force of ten people, but rather that of a single entity.
Then, all ten of them simultaneously struck towards Xing Chen with a punch. Accompanied by the roar of Thunder Dragon, ten Blood-colored Dragon Souls shot towards Xing Chen, their immense power creating a piercing sound that slightly distorted the space around them.
Since this was the headquarters of Dragon Blood Palace, where disciples often engaged in battles, the space here had been reinforced by strong practitioners from Spirit Void Realm to prevent Dragon Blood Palace from collapsing. Thus, this area was much harder than ordinary space and more difficult to tear apart. However, at this moment, this coordinated attack nearly tore through the space, proving that its power had surpassed that of Gaze of Life and was at least equivalent to the initial strength of Glimpse of Objects; otherwise, it would not have caused such distortion in this reinforced area.
"What a powerful strike." Xing Chen's pupils slightly constricted, but he did not show any signs of fear. This level of attack was still within his capacity to endure.
"God-Slaying Demon Claw!"
Xing Chen's Demonic Aura surged, and in an instant, the surroundings became filled with a dense Demonic Aura. Then, he thrust his palm forward. Accompanied by a thunderous sound echoing in his ears, the entire sky suddenly darkened. A massive demonic claw descended with unparalleled destructive power.
