Chapter 2278 - 2281: Sea Demons, Your Emperor Has Returned!

In the main hall of the Dragon Palace, the absolutely stunning Mermaid Princess widened her beautiful eyes, gazing up in surprise at the thousands-year-old canopy shrouded in darkness, but now basked in radiant sunlight, her mind completely blank as she stared in a daze.

As for the other Great Demons, not only were they equally shocked, their eyes were even more unprecedentedly astonished.

"What a beautiful sight, what brilliant sunlight, is this the breathtaking view that only the legendary Crystal Palace possesses?"

"Such warm sunshine, indeed, this is the true Dragon Palace. A shadowy cave is the dwelling for demons like us; even a powerful Dragon Emperor, how can that dimness match his status?"

"In this world, there might be no other place that possesses such a beautiful scene…"

The many Sea Demons were in shock.

And almost at the same time, the surging spiritual energy not only instantly swept through the whole Dragon Palace but burst forth like a suddenly erupting volcano. That dazzling light astonished not just the many Sea Demons inside the main hall.

Many Sea Demons outside the Dragon Palace were also instantly frightened as they gazed at the beaming Dragon Palace.

"Dragon Emperor Lord!"

Splash, splash!

The many Sea Demons fell to their knees, not only with eyes full of reverence but showing expressions of utmost devotion.

"Thank you, supreme Dragon Emperor, for granting us sunlight, food, and life, leading us to overcome the darkness and move towards the light; your glory is our honor!"

"The Dragon Emperor is with us!"

"As we journey from infancy to maturity, from ignorance to civilization, it is you who paved the way with the torch of life, so no hollow words can accurately describe the glory of the great Dragon Emperor!"

Layers upon layers of Sea Demons fell to their knees.

At this moment, their eyes were only filled with reverence.

After all, for those few Sea Demons who have survived the Dragon Emperor era, this scene of dazzling brightness means the return of the Dragon Emperor.

Inside and outside the Dragon Palace, all the Sea Demons were full of shock.

Meanwhile, sitting on the Dragon Throne, Shen Qiang not only didn't feel the slightest sense of shock but bizarrely, curiously seemed to hear some mysterious call.

His divine sense almost instantly spread with the surging spiritual energy.

So much so that for a moment, he even ignored the situation around him.

Completely missing the shocked expressions of those Sea Demons.

Instead, his divine sense fell into a profound and mighty state.

Everything within the sea border appeared exceptionally clear in Shen Qiang's mind, ten miles, a hundred miles, a thousand miles…

Everything and everything seemed so clear.

An octopus changes color to disguise itself.

A small fish falls into the hands of a crab.

A jewelry box in a sunken ship hides a sea snake.

A great white shark is tearing into a lone seal.

On the deck of a ship in the raging waves, there are sailors praying, yet they haven't noticed the person behind them has been swept off the ship by a giant wave.

Everything seems like a phantom, yet incredibly real.

Furthermore, the terrifying part is that Shen Qiang's divine sense at this moment is like a runaway horse, already beyond its supposed limits, recklessly spreading in the sea, even Shen Qiang himself doesn't know where this divine sense will go.

And almost as Shen Qiang joyfully uses the spreading divine sense.

In the deep sea of the Pacific Ocean, several Great Sea Demons suddenly opened their eyes.

"Is it the Dragon Emperor Lord? No, this aura is too weak!"

"It's the aura of the Dragon Emperor lineage, no mistake."

"The Dragon Palace is lit, this means the master has returned!"

At the same time, in a magnificent palace beneath the Atlantic Ocean.

An elderly man in luxurious attire and wearing a crown sat sombrely on a chair nearby. Not far away, a man seemingly like a doctor appeared to have just conducted a check on the bandaged Prince Butes lying on the sickbed.

"How is the situation?" The elderly man with the crown asked in a deep voice.

"In response to the Emperor of the Sea, the prince's injuries are merely flesh wounds, and will heal after some rest." The man replied.

Upon hearing this, the Sea Emperor snorted, turning his head to see Prince Butes on the bed watching him.

"Father, you must avenge me, Shen Qiang not only injured me but also took Princess Qian Ning!"

Upon hearing this, the Sea Emperor angrily rebuked, "Incompetent! With the Dragon Emperor not around, the Pacific Ocean is merely our pasture, you disgraceful thing can't even defeat a mere Huaxia cultivator. If I were to intervene, wouldn't that make me a laughingstock?"

Upon hearing these words, Prince Butes hurriedly responded, "Father, it's not that your son is incompetent, it's just that Shen Qiang is exceptionally fierce, not only is he a cultivator, but he is also a Dragon Demon. I think he might be a disciple of the Dragon Emperor or perhaps the son of the Dragon Emperor; otherwise, he wouldn't have the reason to defeat me."

Upon hearing these words, the Sea Emperor frowned, thoughtfully silent for a moment before coldly responding, "If that's the case, it makes sense, the Dragon Emperor's successors should indeed have some abilities. Back then, he was an existence feared even by gods, but now, you're lying; the Dragon Emperor disappeared thousands of years ago, nobody knows where he went, hence he cannot have descendants; there can be no more dragons in this world."

Upon hearing this, Prince Butes became anxious, "Father, please believe me, Shen Qiang is truly a Dragon Demon."

"Dragon Demons are not dragons, your boasting is merely to cover up your own incompetence." The Sea Emperor's complexion turned iron-blue, "So I will not intervene on your behalf, absolutely not."

Upon hearing this, Prince Butes fell silent.

But almost simultaneously.

A terrifying aura suddenly flashed through their divine senses.

In just an instant, Butes was appalled: "It's Shen Qiang!"

At the same time, the Sea Emperor was stunned: "Dragon Emperor! No, it's not him, his aura couldn't be this weak! Could he be injured?"

Almost at that moment.

The Dragon Emperor's divine sense, surprised to see, right in the depths of the Atlantic, the once-sealed-for-thousands-of-years palace suddenly flashed with dazzling brilliance.

He was instantly stunned, then his figure flickered and disappeared, leaving behind a voice filled with shock and tension.

"Go notify all the Imperial Family, the terrifying Emperor has returned!"

In an instant, everyone within the palace panicked.

Leaving only Butes lying in bed, mystified, "Impossible, that aura is Shen Qiang, it's definitely him, the terrifying Emperor should refer to the Dragon Emperor, but it's not him!"

And almost simultaneously.

Shen Qiang's divine sense unexpectedly reached another Crystal Palace, full of curiosity, but before he had a chance to thoroughly examine everything within this palace.

He was startled to hear an extremely cold, metallic voice echoing in the empty palace.

"Sea Demons, your Emperor has returned!"
