AST 2386 – Boulder City’s Divine Palace and Demon Gate

Bang!

The huge stature of the Black Diamond Demon King and the hammers in his hand were cast aside by Hao Tian’s tackle .

Hao Tian’s punch was extremely strong . Even with the strength of the Black Diamond Demon King’s body, he was still knocked back from the former’s attack . Still, it didn’t seem like his injuries were critical, as he got up and fled again .

At this moment, a string of spider web coiled its way around the Black Diamond Demon King and engulfed him in its net . His speed slowed, and he was soon wrapped like a dumpling .

Hao Tian dusted his palms and returned . Dragon Spider had made its move, and Qing Shui appeared with their companions . Someone else captured the Black Diamond Demon King promptly .

Hao Tian approached the Heavenly Dance Battle God . “Are you alright?”

Heavenly Dance Battle God smiled . “I’m fine, thank you!”

“Heh, there’s no need for that . It is my pleasure,” Hao Tian ran his hand across his head and said sheepishly .

Tang Xi chuckled at that . The guy in front of him was sharp and savage in his bickering earlier and yet seemed a little silly now . He felt like an honest person .

“Why do you say so?” Tang Xi asked with a smile .

“I won’t say . I can’t . You’re going to think I’m up to no good since this is my first time meeting you, so I can’t say . But… can we be friends?” Hao Tian asked seriously .

“Of course . You saved me . Not only are you my friend, but you’re also my benefactor,” Tang Xi responded, still holding her smile .

“How do you plan on repaying this benefactor of yours then?” Qing Shui and his companions appeared, each with a smile .

“Why don’t you marry him?” Mighty Spear Battle God suggested with a grin .

“Don’t listen to their nonsense . Let me introduce my friends to you, they’ll be your friends from now on, too . ” Hao Tian changed the subject in haste . Otherwise, his personal matter would have been distorted for sure .

Everyone in attendance was a Battle God Inheritor, except the two women . Even so, they were important members of the Divine Palace and Qing Shui’s wives . Anyway, not everyone in the Divine Palace was a Battle God .

A gleeful grin decorated Heavenly Dance Battle God’s features . “I see . I felt a sense of familiarity but couldn’t put a finger on it . Now I understand . This is great . Why don’t you follow me to the Divine Palace? The Palace Lord would be so happy . ”

Tang Xi seemed to realize that the leader, Qing Shui, had some questions to ask . “Let’s walk and talk at the same time . ”

Soon, Qing Shui received information about Boulder City’s Divine Palace .

There was a Divine Palace and a Demon Gate within Boulder City, but neither were the strongest here . That said, their powers were still significant in the area .

The Divine Place was at the most northeastern part of the city . According to Tang Xi, there were about three thousand members here but with only a few dozens of Battle Gods . Furthermore, more than half of these Battle Gods were of the weaker variation .

However, Battle God Inheritors were destined to be strong even if it would take some time . The majority would need to take it one step at a time . There was a saying that even Gods in the Nine Continents reached their level by advancing one step at a time as humans .

The Palace Lord of the Divine Palace here was an elderly person . Qing Shui saw him soon enough, a person of virtue and prestige . The benevolence and righteousness of this Divine Palace was widespread and known . They had great relationships with the other residents in Boulder City, and their Palace Lord was an Exploding Arrow Battle God .

Muyun Qingge was the Sun Shooting Battle God while the elderly was an Exploding Arrow Battle God .

One could tell from the name alone—Exploding Arrow Battle God—that its greatest power was in its exploding arrows . It could increase damage significantly . This was the combustion of Exploding Arrow Battle God’s Origin Qi, a unique application of the Origin Qi and its form . The target would rupture, causing a terrifying and damaging explosion .

The combustion was entirely up to the control of the Exploding Arrow Battle God . For example, he could choose the explosion to happen in advance or with a delay . The Exploding Arrow Battle God was still horrifying, it’d be better to stay on your toes with the inheritors or risk being critically injured .

“Hahaha, thank you for saving Xi’er . We’re all family . Come in, come in! I’m Yi Cheng . ” Exploding Arrow Battle God warmly welcomed everyone .

“You’re welcome, Elder . Then, don’t mind our intrusion . ” Qing Shui smiled before following Yi Cheng in, sensing the other people in the Divine Palace .

This Divine Palace was impressive with an imposing architecture . It must have taken some years to its construction . After a sensing, it was worth noting that the strength at this Divine Palace was truly decent . There were strong Battle Gods, as well as a demonic beast .

The demonic beast could be considered as their Guardian Beast, though he didn’t know what it was exactly . Still, their powers must have been close to 10 trillion Dao .

“You’re not intruding . Everyone’s after the same goal after all,” Exploding Arrow Battle God responded in glee .

“Yes, Elder . From the looks of it, this Divine Palace has been around for a few generations . ”

“It has indeed . However, it has waned; the Divine Palace used to be glorious . It is a pity, it could even take down the tiny Demon Gate here now . ” At that, Exploding Arrow Battle God sounded powerless .

“Oh, Elder . Could it be that the Demon Gate here is really strong?”

“It’s not that strong, otherwise, this Divine Palace of ours wouldn’t be able to survive either . However, against them, we can only counter and barely so . The other party didn’t wish to end up in a life and death struggle with us either . If it really comes down to that, the Divine Palace would be destroyed if we can’t counter their attacks . The Demon Gate would suffer immensely as well and lose many of their comrades . This would only end up in them retaining their name but losing in reality . Hence, we’re fine at this moment, but we’re passive . ” Exploding Arrow Battle God didn’t cover up anything .

Qing Shui could understand the bigger picture now and nodded . “Elder, if there’s a need, we can help . ”

Watching Qing Shui’s smile, Exploding Arrow Battle God mimicked it . While the latter wasn’t mighty, his sight was . He could tell that Qing Shui’s power wasn’t anything to scoff at, and he was the leader . More importantly, he could clearly feel existences among them who were stronger than himself .

“I wonder how long Mister Qing would stay in Boulder City . ” Exploding Arrow Battle God didn’t continue their conversation .

“I was just passing by Boulder City today and coincidentally saw Miss Tang Xi and the Black Diamond Demon King . We won’t stay here for long . Since we’ve bumped into Demon Gate here, I really wish to fight . ” Qing Shui didn’t cover up either .

“Mister Qing really wishes to fight against the Demon Gate?” Exploding Arrow Battle God asked after a moment of hesitance .

“My initial plan was to seek the Nine Continents Divine Palace and join them if possible . ”

At Qing Shi’s words, Exploding Arrow Battle God fell into a deep pondering . There wasn’t much of a future for the Divine Palace here, he knew that . If the Demon Gate continued to exist, then the Divine Palace might really be destroyed by them one day .

The most important thing about the Nine Continents was survival . One must first consider survival before development . Regarding development, the greater the expansion, the better . However, everything will be expanded from its foundation so there was a limit . It went without saying that there were exceptions as well; there were those who grew rapidly, but they were rare and few .

“Elder, I understand your concerns . I will annihilate the Demon Gate, and you all can remain here . Perhaps we would meet again one day . ” Qing Shui understood that a Palace Lord’s decision was important . They couldn’t be ignorant or trust in others this easily .

“Many thanks!” Exploding Arrow Battle God replied seriously .

Qing Shui politely refused Exploding Arrow Battle God’s offer for them to stay and had instead found a manor in Boulder City to reside in . He left the fate of the Black Diamond Demon King to Divine Palace .
