Before the two or three dozen black–robed elders could approach the cliffside palace, a cacophony of odd caws echoed through the air. Following this, a swarm of dark figures darted out from the palace’s glistening tiles.

They were enormous black bats, each the size of a grown man. Their wingspan stretched to a whopping 10 feet.

These colossal creatures, with heads as grotesque as rats and eyes shining in an eerie green light, bared their fangs, looking: dreadfully menacing.

Upon their exit from the palace, these giant bats launched themselves at the black–robed figures.

“Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!”

In a flash, every one of the elders produced gleaming, flexible swords from their sleeves.

In the void above the sheer cliff, an intense battle broke out between the elders and the swarm of bats.

Although these bats weren’t human, their ferocity was unmatched. They went toe to toe with the two or three dozen black- robed elders, not giving an inch.

The bars‘ shrill cries echoed relentlessly.

Their sharp teeth, deadly claws on their feet, and vast wings were their primary weapons in this aerial combat.

Facing the onslaught of these bats, the black–robed elders didn’t dare to be careless. They were fully engaged, fighting with all their might.

As the intense battle raged on, a steely glint flashed in the eyes of the young man in white at the base of the canyon.

Soon after, wisps of purple aura began to surround him

In the blink of an eye, the man in white dashed toward the cliffside palace, as swift as a bolt of lightning

His speed was blinding, and in no time, he stood before the majestic crimson gates of the palace.

After gathering a ball of purple energy in his hands, he hurled it at the gates.

Where the purple energy met the gate, a brilliant glow and a wave of energy erupted.

It was clear as day that the palace gate was enchanted with a protective barrier.

The purple energy from the man in white clashed with the luminous energy of the gate. The two forces held each other in a tense standoff.

One second, two seconds…

One minute,

Then… “Bang

two minutes…

With a loud crack, the enchantment on the crimson gates of the palace was shattered.

Subsequently, the radiant glow and the energy waves emanating from the gates faded away.

The young man in white dissipated the purple mist from his hands, pushed open the crimson gates, and stepped into the palace.

Chapter 695

Soon after, several figures descended into the canyon.

It was Gilmore, Spencer, and the rest.

Observing the intense combat between the two or three dozen black–robed presbyters and the gigantic bats, Gilmore told Spencer and the others, “Now that they’re distracted battling the bats, it’s our perfect chance to enter the palace”

Spencer and his team nodded in agreement with him.

In the next moment, like lightning striking, Gilmore, Spencer, and their group soared up to the palace, arriving at the crimson gates

Since the enchantment had already been disabled by the young man in white, they entered without any hindrance.

Inside the palace, they first entered a grand hall that shimmered opulently. The ceiling of the hall was adorned with countless glowing pearls, akin to a starry night, illuminating the hall as bright as day

Suspended above the hall was a colossal white–scaled dragon, hundreds of feet in length.

The dragon had its eyes closed and was motionless. It seemed to have fallen asleep.

Around the slumbering giant dragon, a faint white mist lingered.

Though the white giant dragon was in a deep sleep, its colossal presence and imposing aura left Gilmore, Spencer, and the entire group in sheer astonishment.

Gilmore, Spencer, Lilian, and the others couldn’t fathom seeing a giant dragon in this palace.

Dragons were mythical creatures, existing only in myths.

Yet, right before their eyes was this divine dragon.

The sight was simply breathtaking.

Spencer, Tillman, and the others now understood why Gilmore had mentioned a king–level creature residing in the canyon.

This was no mere creature.

It was a mythical creature–a giant dragon!

Recalling the inscription “Dragon Hall” on the entrance of the palace, it all made sense now.

There truly was a dragon within.

However, after getting over their initial shock, Spencer, Tillman, and the rest silently expressed their relief.

They were fortunate that the giant dragon was asleep. If it were awake and had discovered their intrusion, it might have torn them to shreds.

Yet, they soon realized that the young man in white, who had entered the palace before them, was nowhere to be seen.

With only walls surrounding them, where could he have gone?

Spencer, Tillman, Hiljan, and the rest turned their g

gaze to Gilmore.

They didn’t dare speak aloud due to the dragon hovering above them.

However, their looks clearly sought an answer from Gilmore about the young man’s whereabouts.

The grand hall appeared to have no other exits or passages

“Could the young man in white have vanished into thin air?” they thought.

Gilmore was equally puzzled. From what they could observe in this hall, there seemed no possible place the young man in white could have gone

So, Gilmore had no choice but to use his God’s Eye.

As his pupils contracted, he activated it.

Soon, he spotted something unusual.

At the easter corner of the hall, his divine eye detected fluctuating energy.

Without his God’s Eye, it would have been impossible for anyone to notice this strange energy with the naked eye.

Gilmore realized it was a small matrix spell sealing an entrance leading somewhere within the palace.

In fact, before entering the palace, he had noted that it was 1,500 feet long and 300 feet wide.

However, the current hall they were in was no more than 60 feet wide and 150 feet long.

That meant the hall they were in only occupied a tiny portion of the entire palace.

And the entrance at the eastern corner, sealed by the small matrix spell, led to other parts of the palace.

Gilmore signaled Spencer and the others with a hand gesture, motioning for them to follow him.

Spencer and the others immediately followed him and tiptoed to the east corner of the wall.

Upon arriving there, Gilmore channeled his anima with his hands onto the wall.

In an instant, the wall’s energy rippled like water.

Then, the energy parted, revealing an entrance a bit more than three feet wide.

Following Gilmore’s cue. Spencer and the others entered one by one.

Gilmore was the last to go in.

After they entered, the energy on the wall sealed back up, making it look like a plain wall once more.

Gilmore and the group found themselves in a long corridor stretching over 300 feet.

“Mr. Reed, how did you discover this passageway entrance?” With the divine dragon of the main hall now behind them, Spencer felt more at ease and posed the question.

Gilmore explained, “Back in Sunsbury, I acquired a martial art manual on matrix spells–Having practiced some of it, I was able to discern this sealed entrance.”

Spencer, in realization, expressed his admiration. “Mr. Reed, your talents truly know no bounds.”

With a hint of playfulness, Gilmore replied. “No need to butter me up. Our main focus now should be to find what treasures lie within this palace

A light bulb seemed to go off in Spencer’s head, and then he asked, “Do you think that man in white entered this palace seeking its treasitres?”

Core nodded Of cose, He rided his life breaking into the palace, obviously driven by the allure of its treasures”

on before entering this canyon, Gilmore already knew about the treasures in the Dragon Hall through his God’s Eye

He didn’t mention it

Crowing increasingly impatient, Spencer urged. Then Mr Reed, we should hurry and find these treasures before the man in white gets his hands on them”

Card him. He won’t get them. Now that we’re here, no one but os can lay claim to those treasures”

Then, leading the way, he guided Spencer and the others along the expansive corridor

The 200–foot hallwort was lined with a dozen passageway entrantes on both sides

Yes. (dimore didn’t immediatch choou one to enter

ad, they stopped at the fifth entrance on the len, where he finally led the group in

After walking several feet inside, they were confronted by a masive stone door.

Carved upeh it was a majestic dragon head, so lifelike it seemed as though it could spring to life and roar at any moment.

this intricately carved door, Gilmore cautioned Spencer and the others. “Step back. This dragon head holds an enchanted power

to unlock it so we can proceed”

Spencer and the others immediately took a few steps back.

Gmore slowly raised his hand

White anima, as dazzling as the sun and the moon combined, gathered in his palm

Without hesitation, he pressed this luminous hand onto the dragon carving on the stone door.

Ahhand made contact, the dragon’s carved image began to emit a blinding purple glow.

The anima in Gilmore’s palm shattered the enchanted power guarding the door.

The purple glow from the dragon head faded away almost instantly.

Gilmore withdrew his anima and gently pushed the stone door open stepping inside.

Spencer and the rest of the group closely followed him into a massive stone chamber.

As they entered, their eyes were thet with a radiant burst of colorful light, so dazzling it was hard to look directly at it

Within this vast chamber, large enough to hold a hundred people there floated an enormous white egg

reserabled a chicken’s egg but was significantly larger, standing around 10 inches tall.

There’s what shell was immately patterned with golden lines, giving off an aura of profound mystery.
