Chapter 798: Entering the Palace

Chapter 798: Chapter 792: Entering the Palace

This is truly “search high and low only to find it by chance”.

Lin Yuan finally found the ultimate Array to control the Returning Ruins. Finding this Array was the hardest task.

Next, all he needs to do is control this Array, and that will be enough.

Of course, now there’s another big problem for Lin Yuan to solve.

And that is, how to escape from the encirclement of these Three Thousand Corpse Transformation Demon Gods.

“Whether I can escape or not, I have to try!” Lin Yuan gritted his teeth and made a decision.

Amidst the rumbling sounds and the earth shaking all around.

Without any hesitation, Lin Yuan directly dashed towards the palace.

When Lin Yuan started moving, the Three Thousand Corpse Transformation Demon Gods, who were initially surrounding him without moving, suddenly acted.

One by one, they soared into the air, surrounding him from all directions.

A horde of Corpse Transformation Demon Gods surrounded Lin Yuan. To be honest, Lin Yuan had only ever seen such scenes in those hundred-man slashing movies from Japan.

This group of Corpse Transformation Demon Gods were all ferocious and wicked, eager to kill Lin Yuan.

Surrounded by them, Lin Yuan appeared weak, pitiable, and helpless.

Fortunately, Lin Yuan’s speed was fast enough.

After knocking down several Corpse Transformation Demon Gods blocking his path, Lin Yuan broke through the encirclement before the Three Thousand Corpse Transformation Demon Gods could close in.

There were simply too many Corpse Transformation Demon Gods—exactly three thousand.

Once surrounded by these Corpse Transformation Demon Gods, Lin Yuan wouldn’t be able to escape even if he wanted to.

Fortunately, Lin Yuan escaped from the encirclement before the Corpse Transformation Demons closed in.

Once out of the encirclement, things became much easier.

Lin Yuan discovered that although these Corpse Transformation Demon Gods were Tier One Powerhouses in life,

they had been dead too long, buried underground for far too long.

In such extreme conditions, their strength was no longer at its Peak.

Not to mention Peak strength, the vast majority of Corpse Transformation Demon Gods now didn’t even have Tier Two strength.

They weren’t as strong as Lin Yuan, but they could compensate with numbers.

Once they surrounded Lin Yuan, they could use superiority in numbers to overwhelm him.

But not only were they weaker than Lin Yuan, they were also slower.

Although they could rely on numbers to change quantity into quality,

their lack of speed meant there was nothing they could do.

One Corpse Transformation Demon God was too slow to catch Lin Yuan, and ten Corpse Transformation Demon Gods still couldn’t catch Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan ran ahead, while the Corpse Transformation Demon Gods chased behind.

“Damn it!”

“A bunch of annoying pests!” Lin Yuan couldn’t help but curse as he watched the Corpse Transformation Demon Gods persistently trailing behind him.

The Corpse Transformation Demon Gods didn’t give up, so Lin Yuan had to keep on running; otherwise, if surrounded by their army, he’d have no way to survive.

However, while constantly running, Lin Yuan had no time to search for the ultimate Array to control the Returning Ruins.

Lin Yuan tried running faster hoping to shake off the trailing Corpse Transformation Demon Gods.

The saying “In a vast forest, there are all sorts of birds” held true.

Among the Three Thousand Demon Gods, there were surely those who excelled in speed.

Although the Three Thousand Demon Gods were dead and transformed into corpses, their abilities and strengths from when they were alive had been partially preserved.

Those Corpse Transformation Demon Gods who excelled in speed could easily keep pace with Lin Yuan, using secret techniques to guide the rest of the corp of Corpse Transformation Demon Gods to keep up.

Lin Yuan had been unable to shake off the pursuing Corpse Transformation Demon God army. Furthermore, not only were the speed-oriented Corpse Transformation Demon Gods closely following behind,

even the slower Corpse Transformation Demon Gods who had fallen behind managed to accurately find their way back.

Though their speed was slow, their path was correct.

This route was the one Lin Yuan had taken.

Seeing this, Lin Yuan immediately realized, those speed-oriented Corpse Transformation Demon Gods were guiding the rest of the Corpse Transformation Demons.

Realizing this, Lin Yuan wished he could turn back and eliminate all those speed-oriented Corpse Transformation Demon Gods.

However, there wasn’t enough time!

There were about fifty or sixty speed-oriented Corpse Transformation Demon Gods.

Fifty or sixty speed-oriented Corpse Transformation Demon Gods seemed like a modest number.

But you have to look at it in comparison.

Regarding the overall number of three thousand Corpse Transformation Demon Gods, fifty or sixty speed-oriented Corpse Transformation Demon Gods wasn’t much.

But compared to a solitary Lin Yuan, fifty or sixty speed-oriented Corpse Transformation Demon Gods was not a small number.

If Lin Yuan really gritted his teeth, he could kill these Corpse Transformation Demon Gods.

However, this battle would be unnecessary.

Because Lin Yuan couldn’t afford to be delayed.

Fifty or sixty speed-oriented Corpse Transformation Demon Gods weren’t a problem, but if delayed, the rest of the Corpse Transformation Demon Gods would encircle him, leaving Lin Yuan no chance to escape.

Soon, Lin Yuan fled to the palace’s gate.

Seeing the half-open door with a crack, Lin Yuan didn’t hesitate and slammed into it.

“Boom!”

With a loud crash, Lin Yuan collided with the door, and it swung open.

Then, Lin Yuan quickly darted inside the palace.

After escaping into the palace, Lin Yuan glanced back.

He saw that those speed-oriented Corpse Transformation Demon Gods at the front didn’t pursue him but stopped before the palace door.

“Is it possible they’re restricted by some rule and can’t enter this palace?”

“Or perhaps they’re afraid of this palace?” These thoughts flooded Lin Yuan’s mind.

Regardless, it’s a good thing for Lin Yuan that these Corpse Transformation Demon Gods didn’t dare to pursue him into the palace.

There were simply too many Corpse Transformation Demon Gods outside. If he fell into their encirclement, he’d be doomed.

Of course, this palace might not be simple either.

If the Corpse Transformation Demon Gods didn’t enter the palace due to some restrictions, that would be fine.

If they avoided the palace out of fear, it means there’s something terrifying within.

Being chased around by Three Thousand Corpse Transformation Demon Gods, Lin Yuan wouldn’t be able to handle whatever terrified them.

Nonetheless, Lin Yuan couldn’t worry about that now.

No doubt, the ultimate Array to control the Returning Ruins was within this palace.

Lin Yuan aimed to slay the Good Corpse and become the Array Spirit of this ultimate Array, necessitating entry into the palace.

Lin Yuan had no alternative choice; staying outside guaranteed death.

Entering the palace to find the ultimate Array and become its Array Spirit was preferable.

Even if he failed, the worst outcome would be death.

With no Corpse Transformation Demon Gods harassing him, Lin Yuan entered the palace and immediately began searching for the ultimate Array.

Yet he found no trace of the supposed Array.

Instead, he discovered something horrifying within the inner chamber’s bedchamber.
