Chapter 1502 Entrance to the Underground Palace
Sima Qing's gaze shifted to the ground below.
As the city ascended into the air, the thick stone slabs and soil layers of the original city center square were completely stripped away, revealing the even more ancient and magnificent buildings deeply embedded in the core of the floating city's foundation.
It was a massive underground palace constructed entirely of some kind of cyan divine jade!
The top of the underground palace resembles an inverted dragon's head, covered with layers of lifelike dragon scale-shaped jade tiles, each scale engraved with ancient seal script resembling the movement of stars.
The surface of the palace walls was bathed in a flowing, blue light, and a huge blue dragon relief could be vaguely seen moving around it.
A colossal bronze gate, directly above the underground palace, was slowly opening. A pure, deep blue light poured out from the cracks, along with a scent mingled with the dust of earth, metal, ancient sandalwood, and the remnants of countless ages.
"The entrance to one of the seven treasures of the Azure Dragon Constellations..." Tang Chen exclaimed in shock, "There's actually one of them hidden beneath Crimson Dragon City..."
Sima Qing's eyes reflected the slowly opening entrance to the underground palace, and he said casually, "Let's go."
Having said that, he stepped onto the cyan jade steps that extended from the base of the floating city and led directly to the gate of the underground palace, and slowly walked down.
Zhu Yu, Zhi Ling, Wu Yikun, and the others who were standing nearby in shock quickly came to their senses, suppressed the turmoil in their hearts, and hurried to catch up with Sima Qing.
Tang Chen knew something was wrong.
If that really is the underground palace of the Azure Dragon Seven Mansions Treasure, it is very likely that the skeleton of the Azure Dragon and various ancient treasures are buried inside!
We absolutely cannot let a terrifying guy like Sima Qing get it!
"Boom--!"
Tang Chen's hair and beard bristled, a resolute glint flashing in his eyes, and he burned his essence blood without hesitation! A blazing crimson light instantly enveloped his entire body, and the immense power immediately broke through Fei's illusionary confinement!
"Soul Skill - Myriad Dragons Green Vine Binding - Heavenly Net!"
He thrust both palms forward with a sudden burst of power, unleashing the surging wood-attribute dragon soul power within his body, mixed with the explosive force of burning essence blood! Countless thick spirit vines, shimmering with cyan-gold dragon patterns, suddenly sprouted from the array behind him! These spirit vines intertwined and condensed into more than a dozen cyan wood dragons, which swooped down towards Sima Qing and his group!
Sima Qing didn't even turn around, but merely raised his eyelids slightly, a hint of bored mockery flashing across his lips.
Sima Qing raised an eyebrow and glanced at him: "Overestimating yourself."
After obtaining the power of the demonized Qilin, he no longer took ordinary Soul Emperor realm extraordinary beings like Tang Chen seriously.
He casually raised his hand and waved it lightly, and a surge of dark, demonic energy swept out, brushing past the several blue wooden dragons.
The azure wooden dragon, formed from the resilient spiritual vines imbued with Tang Chen's essence and soul power, seemed to lose all its vitality the moment it was touched by the black demonic energy. It rapidly withered, softened, and decomposed, turning into countless powerless azure light spots that scattered as if they had never existed.
"Holy Law—"
"The Dragon's Heart's Terrifying Power!"
At this moment, Sima Qing's pupils suddenly emitted a pure and majestic azure holy light.
"Ugh—!" Tang Chen felt as if he had been struck by a heavy hammer, his whole body trembled violently, and he almost spat out a mouthful of blood! He felt an irresistible and absolute pressure from both his bloodline and soul suddenly descend upon him! His body could no longer move at all!
'He can actually use the sacred beast Azure Dragon...' Tang Chen thought to himself in disbelief.
Sima Qing said casually, "You should be glad that I have no interest in going on a killing spree here. After all, the myriad races under my rule will still need their subjects."
Tang Chen: "......"
Sima Qing stopped looking at him and turned to continue down the jade steps.
However, at that moment, another figure suddenly appeared in front of him, blocking his way.
Ao Xin stared coldly at Sima Qing.
"Princess!" Tang Chen exclaimed in astonishment.
Sima Qing raised an eyebrow slightly: "Early stage Soul Emperor Realm, actually able to break free from the intimidating effect of my Dragon Heart's Intimidation? It seems Lan Mi really taught you a lot."
Ao Xin gently bit her lower lip, thinking that Sima Qing must have swallowed something earlier, which greatly increased his strength, making him no match for even Grandpa Tang Chen.
There's no way I can stop him...
The best course of action right now is to delay as much as possible.
Although Sima Qing said that his junior brother and father had died on the Blood Plains, Ao Xin did not believe it at all!
Ao Xin remembered her junior brother telling her that Sima Qing's soul had been severely damaged by him, and that he only had half of his soul left.
In this case...
"Soul Skill - Ice Soul Dragon's Roar!"
Ao Xin took a deep breath and suddenly exhaled a breath of icy dragon fire forward!
Sima Qing didn't move at all; the Ice Soul Dragon Breath was directly dispelled by an invisible force as it reached his side.
The frost bypassed Sima Qing and rapidly permeated and spread into the surrounding environment, freezing everything in the area.
"Click, click, click..."
A series of ear-piercing freezing sounds rang out rapidly! The ground, steps, and even the dust particles suspended in the air around Sima Qing were instantly covered with thick, shimmering blue ice! In the blink of an eye, an icy cage was formed, trapping Sima Qing inside!
And they even froze the entrance to the Azure Dragon Palace!
Sima Qing quickly sensed that the cold air formed by the surrounding ice prison was invisible and intangible, yet it could directly cause his soul to feel a chilling and painful mental impact.
Fortunately, he has now become the host of the Primordial Qilin; otherwise, this chilling aura that pierces the soul would probably have caused him real pain.
"I see, so you're trying to stall for time?"
Sima Qing said coldly, "Unfortunately, your delay won't bring reinforcements. As I said, Ye Ge and the others are already dead. Besides, you can't delay me either. This level of soul attack is meaningless to me now."
Having said that, he pointed his fingers like a sword, and a fierce aura gathered wildly at his fingertips: "Fierce Aura - The Wrath of the Taotie!"
"Roar!!!"
A ferocious beast head, composed entirely of condensed, dark red, malevolent energy, burst forth from his fingertips with its jagged fangs and menacing appearance! The beast head unleashed a soul-shaking roar, carrying a pure will of destruction, directly shattering the ice prison and roaring towards Ao Xin!
Ao Xin stared wide-eyed as the head of the Taotie lunged at her...
"BOOM—!!!!"
At the critical moment, a huge, black phantom covered in dark blue demonic patterns suddenly enveloped Ao Xin.
Layers of cyan dragon scales quickly condensed into armor on the surface of the giant phantom, blocking the attack from the head of the Taotie.
"Ok?"
Sima Qing's pupils shrank suddenly, completely unable to believe his eyes.
"That's not necessarily true." Ye Ge stood in front of Ao Xin, looking at Sima Qing with a leisurely smile.
Sima Qing: "!!!?!?!"
