Chapter 1147: Chapter 364: New Instance: Sea God Palace
“As for certain matters within the Sea God Palace, I am completely unaware,” Wulan slowly spoke.
“If you don’t know, then you don’t know. I’ll figure it out on my own.”
“I just wonder if there exists a Divine Sovereign within the Sea God Palace,” Mu Rufeng said.
Wulan didn’t speak again; he fell into silence.
Mu Rufeng also said nothing further and then began to explore this room.
Inside the cell, everything was damp, with nothing else present. No bed, no toilet, nothing.
Mu Rufeng attempted to use his own power, punching the wall.
A dull thud sounded, a black light flashed on the wall, yet there was no damage.
Seeing this, Mu Rufeng furrowed his brow; remarkably, the wall also contained rules.
Upon careful inspection, he surprisingly discovered a rule on the wall.
1. The prison is unbreakable.
2. No conflict allowed within the prison.
Mu Rufeng, unconvinced, took out the Brocade Spring Toothed Blade, yet it was still blocked by the black light.
It seemed the rule power on the wall was stronger than that of the Brocade Spring Toothed Blade.
Mu Rufeng tried the wooden grille again, and similarly, he couldn’t leave any mark.
Then Mu Rufeng put away the Brocade Spring Toothed Blade, turned into the Virtualization State, and tried to fly out through the gaps in the grille.
However, surprisingly, he bumped into an air wall, unable to cross the grille despite all his efforts.
Mu Rufeng gave up and returned to his original state.
These rules are indeed quite strong.
Just as Mu Rufeng was pondering whether to use Rule Suppression or the ability to Ignore Rules…
Heavy footsteps echoed from the corridor outside.
Suddenly, Mu Rufeng halted his movements.
The appearance of footsteps was accompanied by an extremely terrifying aura, that of an Emperor Sovereign.
Mu Rufeng immediately entered the Virtualization State and moved to the front of the grille, looking outside.
Only to see a towering humanoid figure, about three meters tall, resembling Thanos, walking over.
Unlike Thanos, this entity was covered entirely in black scales, holding a long whip in its right hand that looked like a snake, with an overwhelmingly oppressive aura.
This being stopped in front of the cell next to Mu Rufeng’s and paused.
Then, a deep voice sounded: “Work time has arrived, everyone, proceed immediately to the mine.”
This person seemed to be the prison guard overseeing this prison?
As his words fell, the ground began to tremble.
Soon, the grille door of the cell slowly rose, finally disappearing into the ceiling above.
And it was not just Mu Rufeng’s cell, every cell door opened.
With the cell doors open, Mu Rufeng did not leave.
Yet prisoners from the surrounding cells, one by one, came out.
The weakest among them were of Ghost Emperor Level, and there were also many of Emperor Sovereign Level.
“Hmm?” Suddenly, the prison guard glanced at Mu Rufeng, then swiftly swung the black long whip in his hand.
A loud “snap” resounded.
The long whip struck fiercely against Mu Rufeng’s body.
“Ugh!” Mu Rufeng groaned, his body involuntarily revealing itself from the Virtualization State.
“Get out. If there’s a second time, kill!” The prison guard’s voice was brimming with murderous intent.
Mu Rufeng clutched his aching chest and quickly stepped out of the cell.
He was shocked. The prison guard could actually detect him in his Virtualization State. After all, on the Heavenly Dao Continent, even an Emperor Sovereign couldn’t detect him once he was virtualized.
And this prison guard, judging from his aura, was at most on par with the Great Ancestor, but even the Great Ancestor couldn’t sense him in his Virtualization State.
Moreover, the fact that he could be detected was one thing, but that whip could hit him in his Virtualization State and penetrate the clothing of a Level 9 item, injuring him.
It was unreasonable, too unreasonable.
Not to mention, the second rule within the prison was no conflict allowed. So clearly, this prison guard could Ignore Rules.
“A human? How could a human be in the Sea God Palace?”
“Oh my, it’s actually a human. What on earth happened outside? How could there be a human?”
“Strange indeed, an abnormality of a human Ghost Emperor?”
When Mu Rufeng appeared, the prisoners standing in the corridor all looked at him in disbelief and began to discuss among themselves.
Regarding the prisoners’ chatter, the prison guard paid it no heed and continued to stride outward.
After the prison guard passed the prisoners, he didn’t stop and kept walking forward, saying, “Move.”
In the next moment, the group slowly began to move, following behind the prison guard.
“Hey, human kid, I say, how did you end up here? And in the Mysterious World, there shouldn’t be any humans.”
A particularly small, yet Emperor Sovereign-aura emitting abnormality approached Mu Rufeng from behind and asked.
