1505 The Strong Man in the Palace
In the extreme north of the northern hemisphere of Planet Lantis.
There was a lonely cold place that was completely sealed by ice and snow all year round. In the middle was a tall mountain that stood tall and pierced into the clouds.
The top of the mountain seemed to have been cut open with a knife, revealing a flat and smooth platform. On this platform, a majestic palace stood.
The top of the palace stabbed into the clouds and the bottom stood at the top. The surroundings were completely enveloped by ice. From below, it was as if a palace had appeared out of thin air.
If one looked carefully, one would discover that although this palace looked majestic and imposing, it was actually not very neat and beautiful. There were even very obvious architectural mistakes in many places, causing it to appear a little rough and chaotic. As a result, at first glance, it did not make people feel that it was perfect enough and lacking in life.
However, no matter who saw this palace in the entire Milky Way, they would definitely not mock it in their hearts. They would only feel reverence or even top-notch worship.
This was because this palace was the palace of the Declan Empire.
This palace which had only been truly built by the ancestors of the royal family of Declan after more than 1,100 years was originally only a cultivation place chosen by the first emperor of the empire for himself. Later on, it was designated as a palace. After experiencing the personal addition of every emperor, it became grand and majestic bit by bit. It had only become like this after a thousand years.
In the process of construction, other than the emperor of the empire, no one else was allowed to interfere. Therefore, this palace naturally did not seem so reasonable. It matched the beauty of the building and was not perfect. However, just the meaning it represented was enough to make countless people revere it. Moreover, every brick, tile, and rock piled up was personally built by His Majesty, the noblest person in the Declan Empire. It could even be said that he had the highest personal status in the entire Milky Way.
The meaning behind this made it even more impossible to be picky about it.
The extremely cold place and the peak of the mountain in the depths of the palace were naturally not something ordinary people could casually reach.
However, in this palace, other than the supreme His Majesty, there were still 300 elite palace guards and 500 servants stationed all year round.
Just these servants needed to have the lowest Void Break martial arts cultivation in order to be able to live and move freely in this palace or even the simplest way to enter and leave. This was because this palace did not have any high-tech facilities that connected to the outside world.
As for the most elite 300 royal guards, the lowest was a super expert at the Heaven Control Realm.
Coupled with His Majesty, who had the highest status and was definitely the strongest, just this palace was already an extremely difficult castle to break through.
The Declan Empire had been established for more than ten thousand years. Even the most serious spiral arm battle and the two internal strife that hurt the foundation of the empire did not affect this palace at all.
Tens of thousands of years ago, it still stood on this mountain peak, standing in this extremely cold place in the extreme north.
Although more than ten thousand years was enough to make an obvious change in the frozen continent below, this mountain peak was still here. The palace was still here, and the empire was still here.
Due to the extreme daylight, even if it was already night on Planet Lantis, the palace was still shot through the sparse clouds by the brilliant sunlight. Coupled with the reflection of the ice, it completely illuminated the entire palace.
Prince Lekas strode into the palace under the sunlight. He immediately saw a burly man raising a huge rock that was two meters wide, three meters long, and more than a meter thick with both hands and walking towards a corner of the palace.
The weight of the huge rock was more than ten tons. This completely pressed down on him alone, but he did not find it difficult at all. His footsteps were stable, and he only stepped on the ground of the mountain peak under his feet until it creaked.
The sunlight shone on his exposed upper body, reflecting the ground sweat left on his body in a brilliant light, and his entire body looked dazzling.
Seeing such a shocking awakening, Prince Lekas did not have any shocked expression. Instead, he shook his head and curled his lips. He walked straight over and sighed, “Brother… how many times have I told you? Every time you build a house, can you not always not use your Internal Breath and rely on your physical strength? How many times has the ground under your feet been renovated? Do you want to step on it and repair it again?”
The burly man still held the huge rock with both hands and turned around. He opened his mouth at Prince Lekas and revealed an extremely bright smile, but he ignored him. Instead, he continued to hold the huge rock and walk to a corner. With a soft shout, he exerted strength with both hands and the huge rock soared into the air. With a loud bang, it smashed into a wall in the corner and instantly towered.
After doing this, the burly man looked around and shook his head as if he was not satisfied.
“Unfortunately, my craftsmanship is still not good enough. Even if this house is built, I’m afraid it won’t look good.”
Hearing this, Prince Lekas sneered bluntly.
“Come on, our palace has long been mocked by others countless times. We don’t lack you.”
The burly man turned around and nodded at Prince Lekas, “Our Declan royal family naturally doesn’t have to worry about the thoughts of others. It’s just that I don’t think it’s good enough. I need to study it properly.”
Prince Lekas sighed and shook his head.
“Brother, you like to pursue perfection too much. You even have such a high requirement to build such a lousy house. Look around. What these ancestors built is not good. You don’t have to think too much.”
“This is my own request and has nothing to do with others.” The burly man shook his head lightly and glanced at Prince Lekas, “What’s the matter?”
“Yes.” Prince Lekas stopped smiling and nodded, “It’s serious.”
“Alright.” The burly man nodded, then raised his hands and clapped.
After the applause, several figures darted out from nowhere. A few of them were holding large basins of cold ice water mixed with ice. The others were holding boiling water that emitted hot steam. They rushed over and splashed it on the burly man without holding back.
The burly man did not move or defend at all, allowing the ice water and boiling water to splash on his body.
The ice water collided with the boiling water and immediately sizzled. A puff of steam exploded and completely enveloped the burly man.
Immediately after, a few maids rushed over and surrounded the burly man to dry his body. Soon, they completed the washing. Two more maids held a set of clothes and changed him.
Soon, he was dressed neatly under the service of a maid. In the end, an older maid walked over with a tray in both hands. An extremely gorgeous and dazzling crown flickered in the tray and was quietly placed inside.
The burly man glanced at the crown on the tray and frowned slightly. Then, he stretched out his hand and picked it up before putting it on his head with both hands.
Earlier, he was still a guy with a naked upper body and only an ordinary pair of shorts on his lower body. His entire body was covered in sweat and he looked like an ordinary worker. Now that he had changed into a set of clothes and brought this crown, he instantly transformed. His entire body became extremely dignified, and his temperament was calm with unquestionable authority and superiority.
This was because he was the current emperor of the Declan Empire, His Majesty Gremayne!
