Chapter 1041: Chapter 1031: Underwater Palace
"The aura of Divine Power! There’s no mistake!"
Gu Chenfeng halted, his brows tightly furrowed as he quietly sensed that aura of Divine Power.
Gu Chenfeng stopped Devouring the Ice Power and absorbing the Pure Power. A grave look appeared on his face as he frowned and thought to himself, "I can’t sense any sign of life, nor any aura of a Residual Soul."
"This aura of Divine Power is extremely weak, yet it gives off a powerful sense of oppression. Since I can’t sense any life aura, could it be some kind of treasure?"
Gu Chenfeng didn’t know where this aura of Divine Power was coming from, and he couldn’t help feeling somewhat uneasy.
After quietly sensing for a few minutes.
Gu Chenfeng continued diving downward. The faint Divine Power became clearer and clearer, but he still couldn’t sense any life aura or soul aura.
No one knew how long had passed.
Gu Chenfeng finally reached the very bottom of the Profound Ice Lake. The terrifying power here was more than ten times stronger.
Even with Ancient Divine Power Protection, Gu Chenfeng still felt extremely strained at this moment, as the terrifying Ice Power frantically compressed him.
Gu Chenfeng felt as if his body was being bound by some invisible force, making it harder and harder to move.
"The Ice Power at the very bottom truly is horrifying. Even a Late Stage of Demigod at peak coming down here would be turned to ashes in an instant." Gu Chenfeng was incomparably shocked in his heart.
Gu Chenfeng didn’t think any further. He immediately sat down cross-legged, activated Devouring Power to Devour the Ice Power, and simultaneously circulated his Cultivation Technique, crazily absorbing the vast Pure Power converted from it.
The more terrifying the power he Devoured, the vaster the Pure Power after conversion, and the faster it pushed Gu Chenfeng’s Cultivation forward.
"My Cultivation is rising so fast. I’ll soon reach the peak of the Middle Stage of Immortal Emperor." Gu Chenfeng was overjoyed inside, as his Cultivation was skyrocketing at a terrifying speed.
Calling it visible to the naked eye would be no exaggeration.
Of course.
In the face of such immense gains, he had to pay a miserable price.
After Devouring for just a brief moment, his body instantly swelled to its limit, scaring Gu Chenfeng into immediately stopping the Devouring of Ice Power.
In just that brief moment.
The tearing of Gu Chenfeng’s skin, flesh, meridians, and bones—an unimaginable agony—instantly spread through his entire body, madly assaulting his mind.
This time the pain was several times worse than before.
If Gu Chenfeng didn’t have Ancient Divine Power Protection, he simply couldn’t have endured it.
"Ah!" Unable to bear the agony, Gu Chenfeng let out a miserable scream.
His flesh split open rapidly, blood spreading through the lake water. The instant the lake water touched his torn skin, the burning sting was simply lethal.
The pain of all his meridians, flesh, and bones being forcibly stretched almost made Gu Chenfeng’s body fall apart.
This was the miserable price Gu Chenfeng had to pay in order to obtain such a shocking boost in Cultivation.
Fortunately, Gu Chenfeng’s speed in absorbing Pure Power was also astonishing.
In just half an hour, Gu Chenfeng had converted all the Ice Power in his body into Pure Power and completely absorbed it.
Gu Chenfeng’s Cultivation advanced significantly again, leaving him only Half-step away from the peak of the Middle Stage of Immortal Emperor.
Gu Chenfeng did not rest. Instead, he once again Devoured the terrifying Ice Power and frantically absorbed the vast Pure Power. His terrifying aura continued to soar at high speed.
In the blink of an eye, another half hour passed.
Gu Chenfeng’s Cultivation smoothly reached the peak of the Middle Stage of Immortal Emperor, and he was only Half-step away from breaking through to the Late Stage of Immortal Emperor.
However.
Gu Chenfeng did not continue his Cultivation. His heart was simply too curious as to what the aura of Divine Power actually was.
Gu Chenfeng thought to himself, "I’ll figure it out first, then continue Cultivation."
With the golden light radiating from the Divine Power, Gu Chenfeng glanced around, then looked in the direction of the Divine Power aura.
"It better not be a powerhouse from the Divine Realm, or the consequences will be troublesome." Gu Chenfeng secretly muttered in his heart, then forcibly endured the crushing Ice Power and quickly swam toward the direction of the Divine Power aura.
Of course.
If it was only a Residual Soul, Gu Chenfeng would not be afraid.
Gu Chenfeng was extremely cautious, his eyes full of vigilance as he constantly observed his surroundings.
Gu Chenfeng didn’t know what awaited him ahead, so he had to be careful.
A dozen minutes later.
Gu Chenfeng was already close to the aura of Divine Power, yet he still didn’t know what it was.
With the golden light of his own Divine Power, Gu Chenfeng suddenly saw something and thought in shock, "There’s actually a palace at the bottom of the lake!"
That’s right!
Gu Chenfeng saw an underwater palace!
Gu Chenfeng curled his palm into a claw and condensed a small golden Energy Ball, then flung it out.
The golden Energy Ball illuminated the palace.
The palace was ancient and dilapidated, clearly having gone through a great battle.
Gu Chenfeng did not immediately head to the palace, but continued to observe.
The Energy Ball clearly wasn’t just for lighting; its other purpose was to see if it could lure anything out.
But after a few minutes.
The ruined palace remained deathly still.
"Other than the aura of Divine Power, I can’t sense any energy fluctuations, or perhaps the aura’s been covered by the Divine Power." Gu Chenfeng frowned slightly and thought, "The aura of Divine Power is diffusing from within the palace. Just what is it?"
Seeing that the palace showed no reaction at all, Gu Chenfeng finally swam over.
The closer he got to the palace, the clearer the aura of Divine Power he sensed became, but he still couldn’t tell what it was.
When Gu Chenfeng entered the palace, he was shocked to find that the ruined great hall was actually completely empty.
Where was any treasure?
"An aura of Divine Power doesn’t appear out of thin air." Gu Chenfeng frowned and thought, "Not being able to sense energy fluctuations doesn’t mean they’re not there."
Gu Chenfeng activated Ancient Divine Power, formed a Sword Point with his fingers, and coldly shouted in his heart, "Heavenly Dao Eye! Open!"
Golden light flashed in Gu Chenfeng’s eyes. Wherever the Heavenly Dao Eye passed, nothing could remain hidden.
Once the Heavenly Dao Eye was opened, Gu Chenfeng saw an Array in the center of the palace.
Gu Chenfeng’s Ancient Divine Power also sensed the Divine Power contained within the Array.
"As expected." Gu Chenfeng thought to himself, "The Divine Power is masking the Array’s aura, and my Divine Power has also sensed the Divine Power fluctuations."
As his words fell.
Gu Chenfeng came before the Array and slowly reached out his right hand to press it on the Array.
"Buzz, buzz!"
The instant Gu Chenfeng’s palm touched the Array, an incomparably terrifying Divine Power erupted like a volcano, and the previously calm palace suddenly shook violently.
Gu Chenfeng was also directly blasted back by the terrifying Divine Power.
"Divine Power of the Divine Monarch Realm!" Gu Chenfeng exclaimed inwardly, "The power of the Array has actually reached the Divine Monarch level, and the one who laid it even used Divine Power to forcibly Seal the Array."
"The weak aura of Divine Power I sensed is within this Array."
Gu Chenfeng was right.
The faint aura of Divine Power permeating the palace and the bottom of the Profound Ice Lake came from something within the Array.
"Devour!" Gu Chenfeng coldly shouted, fully activating Devouring Power and frantically Devouring the power of the Array.
The Divine Power of the Array had already reached the Divine Monarch level. For Gu Chenfeng, this was simply a supreme tonic.
