Chapter 288: The Golden Crow Intervenes [4th Update]
About two hours into their journey, Su Yie and his companion finally located the Imperial Sea Palace.
It turned out that the Imperial Sea Palace could move on its own, shuttling through the Endless Ocean, making it very difficult to find. Only a few powers were able to track its movement trajectory.
Su Yie stood up, looking ahead, the strong winds tousling his black hair as he squinted his eyes and stared intently at what lay before him.
In front of them, the sea surface dipped, forming a huge whirlpool with flashes of golden light shining from its center, like treasures rising amidst the raging waves.
The Supreme Dragon Shaking, Demon Wolf Star, and hundreds of creatures were levitating in the air.
The Demon Wolf Star hid behind Supreme Dragon Shaking, shaking uncontrollably with an excited expression.
Meanwhile, Supreme Dragon Shaking kept pounding his fists, with terrifyingly powerful black giant fists appearing out of thin air, continuously being hammered into the massive vortex.
Su Yie's gaze was drawn to another figure.
He sat within a seashell, piled with treasures and crystal stones. He was dressed in a dark blue robe, well-built, with a crown made of sharp teeth on his head, his square face rough, and his eyes fierce like a shark, exuding an awe-inspiring and imposing presence.
He was the ruler of the Endless Ocean, Sea Emperor!
Throughout the entire Endless Ocean, only a handful of creatures could arm-wrestle with him.
The title Sea Emperor was not self-proclaimed.
When Sea Emperor felt Su Yie's gaze, he glanced over, and their eyes met. Su Yie calmly held his gaze.
"Ten Thousand Demons Court Demon Emperor?"
Sea Emperor spoke with a commanding voice that echoed through heaven and earth.
Supreme Dragon Shaking ceased his attack and turned to look.
Demon Wolf Star and Sea Emperor's subordinates also turned their heads to look.
"Emperor Su's Sect, Su Yie."
Su Yie replied indifferently, his voice equally loud, ensuring that he would not be outdone in this showdown of wills.
Upon hearing this, the corner of Sea Emperor's mouth twitched slightly upward.
Supreme Dragon Shaking let out a hearty laugh and said, "Demon Emperor, hurry over, the Deep Sea Ferocious Emperor is hiding down there!"
The Flame Prison Demoness immediately felt jealous. Why doesn't she have as much presence as Su Yie?
At that moment, Su Yie flew next to Supreme Dragon Shaking and peered down. He saw that the huge whirlpool had a diameter of a hundred miles. Suspended thousands of meters below was a majestic stone palace with dozens of stone statues standing atop it, looking formidable and warlike, roaring towards the firmament.
The Imperial Sea Palace!
"This is the Imperial Sea Palace?"
The Flame Prison Demoness muttered to herself, her beautiful eyes flickering as she pondered her next move.
"Demon Emperor, be careful. There are thousands and thousands of deep-sea behemoths lurking below, ready to burst out at any moment."
The Demon Wolf Star warned, his comically fearful expression speaking volumes.
Thousands upon thousands of deep-sea behemoths?
Su Yie furrowed his brow. The enormity of the deep-sea behemoths had left a sizeable visual impact on him, one that he found hard to forget.

If tens of thousands of deep-sea behemoths were to surge above the surface, how terrifying would it be?
Suddenly, Sea Emperor's voice came through, "If this continues, more and more creatures will gather here. The Imperial Sea Palace has an irresistible appeal to many creatures of the Endless Ocean. If they see the Imperial Sea Palace, they will go mad."
The implication was clear; if that time came, even he would struggle to control the situation.
Supreme Dragon Shaking spoke with a displeased face, "If it weren't for the fact that this is your territory, do you think my full-powered punch couldn't break the Imperial Sea Palace?"
Just then, Su Yie made eye contact with the Flame Prison Demoness, and at once, they both dived down.
"What do you think you're doing?"
Supreme Dragon Shaking exclaimed in surprise. Were they really that desperate for the bounty mission?
Not caring for their own lives?
Su Yie was in the lead, with the Flame Prison Demoness following behind.
As they drew closer, they realized that a transparent barrier was enveloping the Imperial Sea Palace.
Boom, boom, boom—
Suddenly, a vast shadow appeared in the nearby waters, approaching like Mount Tai, capable of scaring the courage out of the vast majority of creatures.
The Flame Prison Demoness immediately struck with her palm.
A blazing giant palm, three thousand feet tall, whooshed out, smashing into the waters and striking the colossal figure.
With a loud bang, the water exploded, and the waves soared ten thousand feet high, striking the firmament.
Su Yie, on the other hand, crashed into the transparent barrier and surprisingly managed to break through, creating a hole.
This scene had both Supreme Dragon Shaking and the Sea Emperor's eyes widening.
The Flame Prison Demoness was thrilled, promptly turning into a streak of firelight and following Su Yie into the Array.
Supreme Dragon Shaking hurriedly flew over, but unfortunately, he was a step too late, the light screen's entrance rapidly closed, and no matter how he collided against it, he was unable to break through successfully.
"Damn it!"
Supreme Dragon Shaking cursed out loud, infuriated to the extreme.
He immediately began cursing Su Yie and the Flame Prison Demoness furiously within Emperor Su's Sect.
Supreme Dragon Shaking: Demon Emperor! Flame Prison Demoness! You play dirty!
Tai Su Sword Lord: How is Su Yie playing dirty?
Supreme Dragon Shaking: This is driving me mad!
Yang Jian: Hmph! Stop your babbling!
Yue Qinglong: I wish to leave my mountain retreat, who will host me?
Ren Wolang: Aren't you fierce enough on your own?
...
The Sea Emperor stared at the Imperial Sea Palace, his eyes sharp as he muttered to himself, "Could it be that the Demon Emperor's end is near?"
Associating this with Su Yie's speed of cultivation, he increasingly felt it was possible.
The extraordinary performance might have come with an extremely grievous price.
Thinking this, he shakes his head.
Could the Sect Master have misjudged?
Supreme Dragon Shaking was still frantically smashing against the Imperial Sea Palace's Array, his power growing stronger, causing a hundred thousand li of the sea realm to be filled with towering waves and alarm.
The Sea Emperor frowned at this sight; if Supreme Dragon Shaking lost his rationality, countless creatures of the Endless Ocean would face catastrophe.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Just then, two sounds of piercing through the air approached.
All creatures turned their heads to look and saw two Golden Crows rushing over.
"Is that the Golden Crow?"
Demon Wolf Star's eyes bulged, exclaiming in astonishment.
How could there be Golden Crows in the Endless Ocean?
One of the Golden Crows suddenly transformed into a humanoid shape, revealing himself to be Di Jun, clad in a dragon-patterned golden robe, majestic and disdainful in his bearing.
The other Golden Crow dove towards the Imperial Sea Palace.
Supreme Dragon Shaking, enraged, threw his fist directly at it.
Di Jun's right hand conjured a sun and threw it swiftly, tearing apart Supreme Dragon Shaking's punch with ease.
The other Golden Crow entered the Imperial Sea Palace's Array without any hinderance.
Supreme Dragon Shaking, furious, hair wildly fluttering, aura murderous, strode towards Di Jun.
"Dare to play tricks right under my nose, how do you want to die?"
Supreme Dragon Shaking's eyes were red with rage as he glared at Di Jun and shouted.
Di Jun's face revealed a contemptuous smile and said, "You're the crawler Supreme Dragon Shaking from Emperor Su's Sect?"
Crawler!
Supreme Dragon Shaking's fury was ignited in an instant as he charged at Di Jun.
Di Jun turned into a streak of firelight to dodge, and the two powerful beings began chasing each other above the sea.
The Sea Emperor frowned deeply, murmuring, "Di Jun of the Golden Crow Divine Race? What brings him to the Endless Ocean? The aura of the Golden Crow just now was strong; could it be his brother?"
Anyone entering the Imperial Sea Palace is either nearing their doom or has exhausted their lifespan.
Could it be...
Boom! Boom! Boom...
Di Jun and Supreme Dragon Shaking started to battle furiously, taking to the sky and diving into the sea, rampaging unrestrictedly, fighting to a stalemate.
Demon Wolf Star's eyes widened in disbelief, someone could actually fight with his Brother Long so fiercely!
The terrifying pressure of the battle made his soul tremble, and he dared not get close.
The subordinates of the Sea Emperor were also frightened, just what was the origin of this Golden Crow?
