Chapter 2277 - 2780: Awakening to the Dragon Palace's Breathtaking Beauty

As the light spread, almost instantaneously, from under Shen Qiang's feet, not only did the entire Dragon Palace illuminate behind Shen Qiang, but even the Mermaid Princess Jinli Qianning, who had grown up here, was momentarily dumbfounded, her gaze astonished and awestruck as she stared at Shen Qiang's majestic back.

Her slender, jade-white hands and pink fists were clenched tight, and even her cherry lips, like petals of the Snow Mountain, trembled slightly as they opened and closed.

"This scenery is so beautiful, is this the true Dragon Palace?"

The Mermaid Princess Jinli Qianning looked at the pale blue light flashing across, whether it was the walls or the floor, the Dragon Palace had instantly become as crystal clear as a glass display cabinet. Not only could she clearly see the seaweed beneath her feet seemingly moving with the waves, but also the fish and shrimp playing beside the beautiful coral.

"How is this possible! The Dragon Palace that gave birth to and raised me can't be this beautiful." Shocked to tears, Qian Ning was as stunned as if she had come here for the first time.

At this moment, the numerous Great Sea Demons present were staring at the Dragon Palace, which had suddenly become transparent, utterly astonished.

"This is impossible!" exclaimed a Great Sea Demon, standing up excitedly, looking down in shock, and then, with a look of bewilderment, staring at Shen Qiang, who was stepping forward like a shining curved blade dispelling darkness, muttered, "This is something only the Dragon Emperor can do, it makes no sense, no sense at all!"

The Great Sea Demons beside him were equally astounded, dumbfounded.

"The Dragon Emperor's glorious era, Crystal Palace!"

"The legend is true, the legend says that when the Dragon Emperor was here, this place was a picturesque, crystal-like palace. I always thought that was just a legend, an exaggeration by the Sea Demons, because I've been here many times, and it's always been pitch black. Without the Luminous Pearl lighting, you couldn't see anything."

"What a beautiful palace, what beautiful scenery, Crystal Palace, it truly is the Crystal Palace!"

As they were left breathless by the shock, feeling the dizzying sensation of happiness.

Watching Shen Qiang, with a faint smile on his lips, stepping up, the Sea Demon King Wang Yujiang, sitting on the chair, was not only shocked but also had a sense of feverish joy.

Especially upon seeing the bright blue light rising behind Shen Qiang like a clean cut, with a joyous feeling as radiant as sunshine, which almost brought tears to his eyes instantly.

"He's back, our Emperor is back!"

His arms trembled with excitement.

At the same time, Uncle Gui, usually motionless and as composed as a turtle, was also incredibly shocked, and clenched his fists with delight, despite trying his best to maintain a blank expression, tears seemed to appear in his eyes.

"It's him, it must be him!"

Many Great Sea Demons were shocked, excited, and had complex emotions.

Meanwhile, Shen Qiang, stepping up, felt an unprecedented terrifying pressure.

This was unrelated to True Yuan.

It was a pure clash of aura.

On the Dragon Throne, that mass of black mist, like a colossal creature hidden in darkness, emitted a chilling gaze that made Shen Qiang feel as if he could be devoured by it at any moment.

"It's formidable." At this moment in Shen Qiang's Sea of Consciousness, the Taiyin Youying, beautiful as a crescent moon, was amusingly watching Shen Qiang's Sea of Consciousness, where the Dragon Infant of the Divine Seed had clearly sprouted, constructed by the Five Assistant Swords and her given totems, laughing mischievously, "Facing off with the aura left by that terrifying being so early is truly exhilarating."

Watching the somewhat trembling Dragon Infant.

The quietly standing Qingxuan couldn't help but tense up, saying, "Lord Youying, will the master be alright?"

The Taiyin Youying, beautiful as a crescent moon, laughed mischievously, "That depends on Shen Qiang himself. When that terrifying being was here, even I had to be cautious, so even its remaining aura would not be something anyone can withstand."

Qingxuan trembled upon hearing it, appearing anxious.

Sensing her demeanor, the Taiyin Youying giggled and said, "But don't worry too much, no matter how powerful that being once was, all that remains here is just its aura. Shen Qiang, though small and immature, is a Divine Seed. If he truly has the resolve, he might still have a chance."

Qingxuan trembled, clenched her fists tightly, and stared intensely at the trembling Dragon Infant, battling within her heart with both dread and hope.

"Master, you can do it, I know you definitely can!"

Meanwhile, throughout the entire hall, all the Great Sea Demons were silent as they watched Shen Qiang walk step by step towards the top.

All that remained in their eyes was Shen Qiang's majestic back.

The sneers were gone.

Only a deep sense of awe from the depths of their souls remained.

"Dragon Emperor, he must be the heir of the Dragon Emperor, otherwise there would be no way to awaken this Dragon Palace that's been dormant for thousands of years!"

"Although I don't believe a Dragon Demon can replace a Dragon, this Shen Qiang is truly astounding. His power is beyond my imagination. In this Dragon Palace, for thousands of years, countless supreme strongmen have come, but not a single one could make the Dragon Palace shine."

"Unbelievable, the Sea Demon King Wang Yujiang, although originally the Great General before the hall, his power and cultivation are supremely strong, yet in all these years, he couldn't reveal the true appearance of this Crystal Palace. But now, it was this Shen Qiang from the land who achieved all this!"

Among their shocked gazes, at this moment, Shen Qiang was not as relaxed as they saw.

The closer he got to the Dragon Throne, the stronger the intimidating pressure emitted by the black mist became.

Not only did the aura become increasingly terrifying, but the fear that made Shen Qiang shiver as if it came from the depths of his soul.

This was a reverence towards the strong etched in the deepest part of his genes.

That made every step forward require all his strength.

If there were any choices, the current Shen Qiang would never be so reckless, but alas, Shen Qiang had no choice.

Gong Ziyi would not listen to Shen Qiang's explanations, sweet talk wouldn't make the Sea Demons fight desperately, without acquiring the Divine Corpse, Qingxuan couldn't be resurrected, and a few days later, Heshenghe would inevitably flow with blood.

"Since there's no choice, then it's all about winning!"

As the terrifying pressure of the black mist made Shen Qiang's spine creak under the weight.

The trembling Dragon Infant in the Sea of Consciousness not only suddenly stopped shaking but abruptly opened its eyes and, using the same tone as Shen Qiang, at the same frequency, spoke the same words.

In that moment, the Five Assistant Swords hummed and resonated, producing a dragon roar that instantly made Qingxuan's face turn pale.

Simultaneously, in the main hall, an even more terrifying aura burst forth brilliantly from Shen Qiang's body!

Bang!

With footsteps heavy as mountains in front of the Dragon Throne, Shen Qiang's stride instantly dispelled the layers of black mist.

Then, as he sat on the Dragon Throne, the ceiling of the Dragon Palace, dormant for thousands of years, suddenly brightened.

Not only could he clearly see the shocked Sea Clan scattering, but also the brilliant sunlight…

Shining down from above!
