The Great Overlord: Simulating the Future, Dominating Speedrunning

Chapter 152 Two Months Later, the Heavenly Palace Appears

After seeing off the leader of the Tianhuang clan, Lu Chen confirmed with Mandala during a conversation that the Heavenly Palace would appear in the world in about two months, and then he entered into hard training again.

……

Two months later,

Daluo Heaven, deep inside.

There stands a solitary peak, which is so high that it can almost overlook half of Daluotian. And this is the place with the most abundant spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the entire Daluotian.

In the past, this place was considered the place where Mandala practiced alone, and ordinary people from the Daluo Realm were not allowed to enter. However, at this moment, on the isolated peak, there was a figure sitting cross-legged.

The figure formed seals with his hands and as he breathed in and out, the light mist that filled the surrounding sky and earth continuously flowed into his body and was absorbed and refined.

These mists are all formed by extremely rich spiritual power. In this area, there are many spirit gathering arrays or similar spirit arrays, which absorb the spiritual power of the entire Daluotian.

Soon after, the last wisp of spiritual mist around was completely absorbed.

The figure sitting cross-legged finally slowly opened his tightly closed eyes, and his originally dark eyes showed a crystal color, but there was no fluctuation emanating from his body, just like an ordinary stone or grass, unremarkable.

This rather mysterious scene actually represents that the former has mastered the spiritual power in his body to an extreme.

Immediately, the crystal light in Lu Chen's eyes gradually faded, but according to his perception, there seemed to be a powerful spiritual power flowing in every part of his body, and every move he made had the power to shatter mountains.

"The time should have come..."

Lu Chen slowly stood up, looked at the sky in the distance, and said with some emotion.

In the past two months, although his cultivation progressed slowly due to the solidification of the Supreme Sea, he did not insist on improving his spiritual power. Instead, he further explored his control over spiritual power.

Not long ago, he broke through from the peak of the sixth-grade supreme to the perfection of the ninth-grade supreme. Such a huge leap in strength, although due to the calcination of the pagoda fire, his spiritual power was not at all frivolous, it affected his control over his own spiritual power.

The unprecedented expansion of power did not make him lose his way. In order to ensure that he would take solid steps in the future, he had been training his control over his spiritual power for the past two months. Now it seemed that it was quite effective.

……

And just when Lu Chen came out of seclusion.

The westernmost part of Tianluo Continent.

The entire world was shrouded in ice and cold. Strong winds raged between heaven and earth, and endless coldness enveloped the entire world.

Suddenly, above this sparsely populated, extremely cold land, the Milky Way hanging high in the sky seemed to brighten, countless stars shining down, and within the starry sky, cracks seemed to quietly emerge...

And in the crack of the starry sky, one seems to be able to faintly see an ancient palace shrouded in clouds and mist.

And just when the crack in the starry sky appeared, the leaders of some of the top forces on the Tianluo Continent noticed it, and immediately their shocked gazes penetrated the space and looked towards the westernmost part of the Tianluo Continent.

Immediately, countless orders were issued from these forces and spread to all walks of life!
The Heavenly Palace appears and disputes are about to arise!
……

Soon after,

Daluotian, inside the Daluo Palace.

"Have you finished reading?"

Lu Chen put down the jade slip in his hand, nodded slightly, and then looked up.

In front of him, Mandala sat on a tall throne, gently swaying her snow-white legs. She said lazily, "This is all I know about the sacred objects of the Five Palaces and Nine Mansions of the Ancient Heavenly Palace. Whether you can subdue them depends on you."

"Remember to help me get the original body back. I've hidden it in the First Hall Master's Hall. When you get out, help me deal with Lu Heng. I'll be waiting for your good news outside."

"I understand. Is that Saint Demon Emperor Lu Heng really that powerful? Can't you, the Sleeping Emperor, and the Demon Emperor even if you join forces to deal with him?"

Lu Chen nodded and then asked curiously.

"That traitor's true form is an ancient blood dragon. It's not difficult for us to defeat him, but killing him is not easy. Moreover, as the Palace Master of the Holy Demon Palace, he is not alone. He might bring the Earth Supremes from other palaces with him. I don't have complete confidence, so I won't alert them." "Everything will be determined after you get my true form back."

Mandala said lightly.

This body of hers was a bud separated from her original body. After she got her original body back, the two would be combined into one, enough to restore her former supreme and perfect strength.

By that time, suppressing a mere Supreme Saint Demon Emperor would naturally be a piece of cake.

"However, since you are going to the Ancient Heavenly Palace, you must not miss the baptism in the Tianhe River. The Tianhe River is the most precious place in the Ancient Heavenly Palace. It not only has the wonderful effect of solidifying the foundation of spiritual power, but also can refine the Supreme Dharma Body, thereby increasing the chances of breaking through the shackles and overcoming the spiritual tribulation."

"Even in ancient times, it was an incredible treasure land. In terms of effect, it is much better than the Daluo Golden Pool."

"That's all. Is there anything else you want to ask?"

Mandala stopped shaking her little feet, stared at Lu Chen with her golden eyes, and asked with her head tilted.

Lu Chen shook his head and said, "No, where is Muchen in seclusion? I'll go get him. It's time to set off."

"I've arranged for him to go into seclusion at Yanchi Peak. Go get him. I'll be leaving first."

After saying that, Mandala waved her hand and tapped her feet lightly. Ripples appeared in the void, and in the blink of an eye, she disappeared from the spot.

Looking at Mandala's departing back, Lu Chen turned and walked out of the hall.

……

Half a day later,

In front of the Daluo Palace, Lu Chen stood with his hands behind his back, and beside him was Muchen. Behind them stood three figures: two old men and one middle-aged man, who were the original three giants of the Hundred Battles Domain.

The old man with hidden sword, the old ghost of the mountain of corpses and the supreme devil.

Ever since the Hundred Battles Domain came under Lu Chen's jurisdiction, these three people with nowhere to go were persuaded by Lu Chen to join the Tianyan Palace.

Now these three people have two eighth-grade supreme beings and one ninth-grade supreme being, so they are not weak. On the way to the Heavenly Palace, they can also solve a lot of troubles for Lu Chen.

So this time, Lu Chen also brought the three of them along.

"Brother Lu, where's Sister Jiuyou? Isn't she coming with us?"

Muchen looked around and didn't see the familiar figure beside his brother Lu, so he couldn't help but wonder.

"She's in seclusion and won't be joining us this time. Let's go."

Lu Chen waved his sleeves, and a red light flew out, transforming into a giant scorpion beast several thousand feet long, floating in front of everyone.

"The Heavenly Palace was the overlord of the Tianluo Continent in ancient times. Did Sister Jiuyou get some great opportunity? Why aren't you going to participate?"

Muchen jumped onto the Flame Dragon Scorpion and asked curiously.

Lu Chen leaped up and also jumped onto the back of the Flame Dragon Scorpion. He shook his head slightly but did not answer Muchen's question.

In the past two months, he not only exchanged a Nine-Turn Green Lotus from the simulator, but also exchanged a drop of Phoenix's inherited blood essence and gave it to Jiuyou.

Since it concerns the inheritance of a Saint-grade Heavenly Supreme, there is no need to reveal it to Muchen.

"Okay, stop talking, sit tight, we're about to leave."

Lu Chen glanced around and saw that everyone was seated. He had an idea and the red dragon scorpion under his feet let out a roar. In the midst of the whistling, it turned into a flash of light and flew away.
