Chapter 1276 The Mysterious Existence in the Bronze Palace

The audience watching the light screen was dumbfounded, staring blankly at Bu Fang. They were like the calm Yellow Spring River. On the surface, they looked extremely quiet, but inside, their hearts were roaring. Shock was all they had left in their hearts!

As for the Prison Overlords, their pupils had shrunk, and they no longer knew how to express their feelings.

The Senseless Lotus in the Yellow Spring River had been… f*cking picked. Before this, they had never thought that anyone could do it. Looking at Bu Fang, who was holding the white lotus flower with a confused face in the light screen, the cheeks of all four Prison Overlords were twitching violently.

“It’s him again… It’s this boy again! Why do all the troubles have to do with him?!”

“We have to inform Lord Ying Long about this. Although we don’t know much about the Senseless Lotus, it is, after all, a treasure in the Yellow Spring River. We don’t know whether the Yellow Spring Great Sage’s anger would be aroused by the fact that it was picked,” Jin Jiao said, rubbing the gold horn on his forehead.

“But Lord Ying Long is watching Lord Nether King in the Demon Passes now. Do we really want to disturb him at this time?” Yin Jiao said, holding his gourd in his arms with a deep look in his eyes.

Hearing that, Jin Jiao immediately hesitated. Lord Ying Long was monitoring Lord Nether King, who was currently fighting his way through the Eighteen Demon Passes left behind by the previous Nether King. If they called Lord Ying Long over now, no one knew what would happen.

“Forget it, let’s go and have a look!” Jin Jiao rubbed his temples in distress. However, before he had made a decision, You Ji had already carried her broadsword and flew away, turning into a beam of light and disappearing into the horizon.

“Ah! You Ji!” When Yin Jiao saw You Ji disappear, he jumped into the sky as well, his silver robe fluttering as he followed her at full speed.

Luo Ji held her scythe and giggled, her pink hair bouncing up and down. Then, she kicked the ground and shot into the sky, too. “Sure enough… Where there’s Brother Bu Fang, things will be very interesting.”

Soon, only Luo Ji’s laughter was left in the air. Jin Jiao was speechless as he watched the three Prison Overlords leave.

With a rumble, he rushed out of the Forbidden Soul City as well.

…

Bu Fang’s eyes narrowed as he looked at the Senseless Lotus in his hand. It was indeed worthy of the spirit herb that was praised by the System. The rich energy and explosive power contained in it were something that he had never seen before, frightening even him.

The lotus was emitting a milky white gleam, looking like a piece of jade. There were many fine lines flowing across its many petals, which looked quite delicate. At its center was a creamy white seedpod with many pale golden seeds.

The whole Yellow Spring River fell silent as soon as Bu Fang picked the Senseless Lotus. Suddenly, he jerked his head up and looked into the distance. There, a bronze palace was coming toward him, riding on waves. The bloody river was torn apart as the palace revealed itself from the bloody mist, emitting a fluctuation that sent a shiver into one’s heart.

The palace was huge, floating in the Yellow Spring River.

All of a sudden, there was a creak that sounded as if it was coming from the past, causing Bu Fang’s heart to jerk. His eyes flashed with an incredulous look because he saw an eye staring at him through the gap of the bronze door.

‘What an eye! There seems to be chaos forming in it, and time and space were being destroyed. What a terrible feeling!’

At that moment, Bu Fang felt as if his divine will was about to crumble.

In his spirit sea, the Golden Divine Dragon’s body quivered, the Vermilion Bird clamped her wings, and even the White Tiger was no longer proud and lowered his head. As for the Black Turtle, who had been sleeping with his eyes closed, his eyes were wide open now, and he gave a low roar.

Bu Fang didn’t sense this strange phenomenon as he was immersed in the chaos of the eye.

Even the System was silent. It was as if under the gaze of that eye, it was afraid to speak.

‘What’s going on?!’

Bu Fang had never felt this way before. It was as if he had been stripped naked, and all his secrets were there to be seen!

“It’s him…” The Black Turtle’s voice rang out, then he fell silent again as if the man’s name was taboo, which made him dare not speak again.

The hazy mist of blood enveloped the whole river. Soon, all the ships disappeared. When Fa Wu and the others came to their senses, their boats had already sailed out of the mist.

“Amitabha… The Senseless Lotus and the bronze palace… I have an intuition that there must be a connection between the two… Owner Bu has done something terrible,” Fa Wu said, putting his palms together as he looked into the hazy blood mist. An expression of confusion came over his face.

The Earth Prison’s boat continued moving. After that, both boats went ashore. They suddenly found that their boats had reached the other side of the Yellow Spring River. However, the formidable little chef was trapped in the mist.

Would he die?

…

“Who are you?” Bu Fang asked as he took a deep breath and stared at the pair of eyes in the bronze palace with a straight face.

His voice echoed through the blood mist, but no one answered him. The only sound in the air was the sound of the bronze palace approaching. It was like an invisible giant hand that kept drawing near in the dark, making one’s hair stand on end.

Everyone who saw this scene through the light screen took a deep breath. Suddenly, the eyes in the bronze palace turned. The audience was startled, and they all cried out. The eyes seemed to see each of them through the screen. At this moment, it was as if a nightmare had been planted in their hearts, which made their legs weak.

Without a doubt, there was a horrible existence in the bronze palace! Many experts from various small worlds were frightened.

All of a sudden, the light screen became blurred with tiny lightning arcs jumping across it. Soon, the whole screen became hazy, making it impossible to see anything.

The scene was transmitted to all the surrounding small worlds. Everyone was shocked.

What was in the bronze place in the Yellow Spring River? Also, what kind of existence did the little chef provoke after he picked the Senseless Lotus?!

…

In Nether Prison, the Di Ting Clan’s homeland…

The eyes of a figure shrouded in black mist grew grave as he looked at the light screen enveloped by lightning arcs.

“This feeling… Impossible! This guy can’t be… alive!”

…

The Yellow Spring Great Sage was hovering in midair, his white hair waving in the wind. He looked like an eighteen-year-old teenager, but his eyes were full of vicissitudes of life, as if he had gone through countless years.

At this moment, he was looking straight at the Yellow Spring River, staring at the hazy blood mist. His eyes were shining brightly, and above his head hung a small, hazy world.

“The Senseless Lotus appeared in the Yellow Spring River ten thousand years ago. It seems to be a key, but no one can take it. And yet, today… it was picked.

“Is it because the predestined man has appeared, or the scapegoat has arrived?”

The Yellow Spring Great Sage had a deep look in his eyes. The next moment, he began to walk slowly toward the Yellow Spring River.

“The bronze palace… You have been my neighbor for ten thousand years. Today, I shall see you for what you are.”

…

Meanwhile, in the Cave of the Fallen Gods, one of Earth Prison’s forbidden lands…

Lord Dog’s plump figure stood stiffly on the broken flagstone road outside the cave, a place shrouded in black Nether energy. He seemed to be sensing something.

Suddenly, with a creak, the dilapidated gates of the cave swung open. A ghostly fire seemed to be burning inside. Then, a skeleton in a suit of armor came out of the cave. The armor was shining with bright golden light, attracting one’s eyes. However, it felt somewhat strange when such a formidable suit of armor was worn by a skeleton.

Behind the gates was a huge space, which was full of tombstones. Some of them were shaking as skeletons were slowly climbing out of the ground.

The armored skeleton who had just walked out of the cave saw Lord Dog. The ghostly fire in its hollow eyes flickered, then it let out a scream. “It’s you again, mangy dog! What do you want? Are you here to steal the Cave of the Fallen Gods’ treasures again?!”

Lord Dog paused. His fat wobbled, and an embarrassed expression came over his face. “Oh no, they found me… I was too careless…”

His nose twitched. Then, he turned his chubby buttocks to the skeleton and sped away.

“Lord Dog just happened to pass by and was planning to greet my old friends… Well, Lord Dog is leaving now for Bu Fang boy.”

The ghostly fire in the armored skeleton’s eyes erupted!

“You mangy dog! No one will believe you! You must be here to steal the Cave of the Fallen Gods’ treasures! Stop dreaming!”

As soon as it finished speaking, the door behind him flung open, and a horde of armored skeletons came pouring out of it. A terrible aura of death immediately pervaded the whole area. However, Lord Dog had already slipped out of sight.

…

The bronze palace was getting closer and closer, and finally, it was not far in front of Bu Fang. A gust of chilly wind blew from it and kept his hair waving. The cold eyes were staring at him all the time, making him feel cold all over.

With a creak, the gap in the bronze door opened wider.

Bu Fang’s pupils constricted. At this moment, something evil seemed to pour out from behind the door. A wisp of aura squeezed out as if to annihilate the void. The terrible power made him tremble—it felt like facing real death.

This bronze door was definitely different from the one at the Hidden Dragon Continent! It was completely different!

“Ten thousand years… Finally, you are here… The key to the door is finally taken by the predestined man…”

A voice rang out from behind the bronze door. It was very soft as if someone was whispering in Bu Fang’s ear. Strangely, he couldn’t tell whether the voice belonged to a man or a woman.

“Who are you?!” Bu Fang asked again.

Still, the voice didn’t answer his question. It seemed he heard a sigh, which contained unwillingness, helplessness, and anguish.

“Today, you opened the door for me, but who will open the door for you in the future…” the voice went on whispering. It sounded a little lonely, a little angry, and even with a terrible obsession to destroy everything.

Bu Fang’s pupils constricted. This was the first time he felt so horrified.

Suddenly, the blood mist parted, and a figure shrouded in bright light slowly walked over from outside.

Bu Fang turned his head with difficulty and saw a gorgeous young man of eighteen, who had a head of white hair and a smile on the lips. The man was holding a grass with nine leaves, which was emitting mighty energy.

“Old neighbor, it has been ten thousand years… It is really not easy for me to meet you in person.”

The Yellow Spring Great Sage looked straight at the bronze door. He put one hand behind him while holding the grass with the other hand, walking step by step across the surface of the river without generating any ripples. As he approached the bronze palace, however, an invisible barrier stood in front of him.

“Oh? Old neighbor, it’s not nice of you to do that,” the Yellow Spring Great Sage said with a smile. Then, he raised his hand with destructive energy surging in the palm and slapped toward the invisible barrier. He wanted to break it with force.

The eyes in the bronze palace turned and fell on the Yellow Spring Great Sage. The next moment, a chilly aura of death descended and enveloped him.

The Yellow Spring Great Sage, who was calm and relaxed, suddenly froze.

“Get lost,” said the voice.

The next moment, a palm flew out of the bronze palace and smacked the Yellow Spring Great Sage in the face. With an incredulous expression, he flew tumbling backward as blood came spewing out of his nostrils. In just the blink of an eye, he was thrown out of the blood mist.

Bu Fang glanced at the Yellow Spring Great Sage with a straight face, the corners of his mouth twitching.

“Who invited this… mentally retarded fellow here?”

Outside the blood mist, the void was torn apart, where Lord Dog’s chubby figure came walking out. Suddenly, he saw a figure flying out of the mist.

Lord Dog paused momentarily. Then, he raised his paw, intending to swat the figure away…
