Lin Yu frowned slightly. "Are there any Divine Lords among them?"
He didn't think it was a coincidence. It was normal for a deity to be present here, since a deity was considered the ruler of this sea area, and it was normal for a deity to be guarding it.
However, Lin Yu was not afraid; he directly countered the divine thought.
The moment that divine thought appeared, it was instantly pulverized, leaving no trace whatsoever. This surprised Lin Yu; the strength of this divine lord was probably not much less than his own, yet Lin Yu had managed to counterattack him just like that.
"Such immense power!"
Lin Yu thought to himself, he never expected that when he was at the peak of the God Venerable realm, he could easily crush the God Monarch realm, and now that he is at the peak of the God Venerable realm, he can still resist the God Monarch realm.
Lin Yu did not linger and walked deeper into the palace.
"Rumble..."
Suddenly, countless bolts of lightning descended from the sky within the palace, each possessing the power to destroy everything.
"This is..." Lin Yu's expression changed slightly. "The Wrath of Thunder? How is that possible? The sea creatures in the ocean could never possess such power of lightning laws, and this lightning far exceeds the scope of the Divine Lord realm!"
These lightning bolts were all attacks based on the laws of lightning. Moreover, Lin Yu discovered that these lightning bolts were not simply the wrath of thunder, but the power of lightning punishment!
This palace was actually equipped with a lightning punishment array, and the power of this lightning punishment array was extremely strong, even more powerful than the lightning punishment array that Lin Yu had seen in Nanfeng Immortal City.
Lin Yu was certain that this Thunder Punishment Array was set up by at least a True God realm expert.
"Could this have been orchestrated by the God Emperor?"
"No, a God Emperor setting up a lightning punishment array would leave traces; it couldn't be this clean unless he was a God Emperor at the Great Perfection stage!"
"So what could be inside?"
Lin Yu could easily dodge these lightning punishments, but he didn't. He wanted to see what secrets were hidden within this lightning punishment array!
He barged right in.
As soon as Lin Yu entered the Thunder Punishment Formation, he sensed something was wrong.
"Buzz!"
The moment Lin Yu burst into the palace, massive lightning blades shot out from all directions.
"Hmph!" Lin Yu snorted coldly and directly activated the Primordial Golden Light Shield!
"Buzz!"
A golden light enveloped the entire palace, blocking all the lightning blades.
Although the Power of Thunder was formidable, it was no match for Lin Yu.
"Hmm?"
Lin Yu suddenly stopped and looked at a spot. In front of him, there was a huge rock with a faint smell of blood and traces of blood.
"There are traces of blood here?" Lin Yu frowned.
"It seems someone has perished here; their injuries are quite severe!"
Lin Yu walked up, moved the boulder aside, and a Lin Yu appeared before his eyes.
The corpse was completely naked, covered in gruesome scars—whippings, sword cuts, and other wounds—almost covering its entire body. Some wounds were festering, while others had not yet healed.
"Who is it?" Lin Yu carefully examined them. "Is it someone from the Sea God Palace?"
"They don't look like they're from the Sea God's Palace!"
"Could someone else have done it? But..."
Lin Yu frowned. The Sea God Palace wielded considerable power on the islands of Japan, and it was even guarded by a God King. Other sea forces dared not provoke the Sea God Palace, so it was very likely that this God King was responsible.
This god-king's goal should be very clear: the Tear of the Ocean. The Tear of the Ocean contains extremely pure seawater, and if one were to consume seawater, there would even be a chance to condense an ocean godhood. The god-lord of the Sea God Palace may also be after that Tear of the Ocean.
"No matter who they are, if they dare to cause me trouble, they're courting death!" Lin Yu snorted coldly, put the Divine Lord into his Qiankun Ring, and then turned and flew towards the depths of the sea.
Sea Palace!
This is the headquarters of the entire Sea God Palace, and also the place where powerful gods cultivate. Lin Yu wanted to find out exactly what the Sea God Palace was hiding.
The Sea Emperor's Palace covers an extremely vast area, a full million square meters, and contains numerous buildings, including palaces, caves, and houses. The Sea Emperor's Palace is like a giant maze, making it difficult to find one's way.
Lin Yu spent half a day finally exploring the entire Sea Emperor Palace.
Within the Sea Emperor's Palace stands a colossal palace called the Sea Emperor's Great Hall. This hall, hundreds of feet tall, is entirely composed of seawater and emits a faint glow. The power it exudes is extraordinary; Lin Yu is certain that even a powerful expert at the Great Luo Golden Immortal Level would be severely injured if they entered it!
Lin Yu arrived at the palace and flew directly into the center of the main hall.
This palace contains many powerful defensive magical artifacts and numerous sculptures of divine beasts. These divine beasts are so lifelike that they seem to have truly come to life. Some of them even instilled a sense of fear in Lin Yu.
"Hmm?"
Lin Yu suddenly raised an eyebrow. He saw a blood-red short dagger lying quietly in the very center of the hall.
The material of this short dagger was neither jade nor iron nor gold; Lin Yu felt a tremor in his sea of consciousness after just one glance at it.
A powerful killing intent emanated from the blood-red short dagger!
"What an eerie aura!" Lin Yu raised an eyebrow, inwardly alarmed.
" Buzz"
A terrifying pressure spread out, and Lin Yu felt his blood and qi about to boil.
"What is this?" Lin Yu's pupils contracted slightly, and he stared at the blood-red short dagger with a somewhat ugly expression. He could sense that this short dagger was definitely a powerful innate treasure!
Lin Yu had heard Long Aotian mention it before; the value of such a supreme innate treasure was beyond question, and even Lin Yu felt a chill run down his spine.
"Buzzing~~"
The dagger suddenly began to tremble violently, as if it possessed a strong spiritual power.
"Oh no! This dagger is strange! We have to get out of here!"
Lin Yu quickly retreated thousands of miles, simultaneously raising a black and white flag to protect his entire body.
Under Lin Yu's perception, the killing intent on the dagger grew stronger and stronger, and even the Holy Spirit Sword within his body trembled, as if it were afraid of something.
Lin Yu sensed that this matter seemed to have some connection to him.
"Whoosh!"
The blood-red dagger streaked across the void like a rainbow, heading straight for Lin Yu.
"Buzz~~"
The short dagger gleamed with a crimson light, radiating a thick, Sha Qi, as if it wanted to devour everything.
Lin Yu frowned slightly. This dagger was too strange; Lin Yu couldn't defend against it at all.
"Buzz!"
