Dragon Ball, simultaneously traversing countless worlds

However, his hometown was sandy soil, and he couldn't dig a well because it would always collapse. So Wang Mang commissioned a golden toad to breathe fire and burn the well walls into glass.

The golden toad was spitting fire and burning the well wall when an old man discovered it, shouted loudly, and scared the golden toad away, leaving the glass well half-burnt.

Therefore, the well in front of us is half glazed glass and half stone.

"So this crystal well in front of us is also the work of a demon."

Luo Yan became even more suspicious that there was a monster in the Glazed Well, but he could never catch a trace of it.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind: "Could there be an array concealing this well, or perhaps an alternate dimension?"

Those who possess the ability to create space are generally great demons, true immortals, and the Black Python and Golden Toad probably don't have that ability.

The two monsters are most likely still using the formation to conceal their presence.

"It seems I'll have to go down there myself."

The Ruyi Treasure Book that Luo Yan obtained did not contain any records of formations. Faced with things outside his knowledge system, he had no good means of breaking them. He could only personally experience the mystery of the formations and then find a way to break them.

Chapter 210 Underwater Dragon Palace

—Dragon Ball: Simultaneously Traveling Through Countless Worlds, Chapter 210: The Underwater Dragon Palace

The Nine Heavens Secrets are exquisite celestial texts.

The Heavenly Book consists of nine volumes, with the Wish-Fulfilling Treasure Book being just one of them, primarily recording various magical arts.

The remaining eight volumes record alchemy, weapon crafting, formations, talismans, feng shui, fortune-telling, divination, and sacrifices.

The Nine Heavenly Books: obtaining even one is enough to rival a seventh-rank True Immortal; obtaining all nine grants the strength of a third-rank Immortal.

Luo Yan then studied a celestial book and learned the spells within, which allowed him to hold his own against the Incense God.

If one were to truly master the Nine Heavenly Books, their strength would reach an unimaginable level.

Standing by the well, Luo Yan used magic to transform himself, Wu Ying, and Leng Ying into sparrows, and then floated down the well.

The glass well was cool inside. The three of them continued to descend until they were close to the surface without any problems.

So they went into the water and began searching underwater.

The well water was clear, and you could see the bottom at a glance. There were algae and frogs all around, and nothing seemed out of the ordinary.

It was only when Luo Yan stood in the mud at the bottom of the well that he realized something was wrong.

There was a faint magical fluctuation in the mud beneath his feet.

Luo Yan suddenly punched the mud at the bottom of the well, as if he had detonated a landmine underwater.

Water gushed out of the well, making the water murky and revealing the true state of the well.

Beneath the three of them, at the bottom of the well, covered in silt, lay a huge, transparent, eggshell-like space.

The entire structure of the well and underground space resembles a glycerin suppository bottle, with a narrow well on top and a wide space below.

In that vast space, there was a shimmering, glazed palace.

Numerous fish, turtles, lobsters, and crabs swam around the palace, each one enormous in size.

Some lobsters and crabs even stood at the entrance of the glass palace, holding weapons.

As Luo Yan's punch sent the mud churning, the entire massive space shook, and all the shrimp soldiers and crab generals turned their gazes toward Luo Yan and the others above them.

The two groups' eyes met.

"Your Majesty, it's a dragon palace! There's actually a dragon palace beneath this well!" Wu Ying shouted excitedly.

Luo Yan was also somewhat surprised.

I thought we were just looking for some mountain spirit or monster, but I didn't expect these two monsters to be so powerful. They actually built a crystal dragon palace in the well.

The monster that can put on such a show must be quite powerful!

Consider that the black python and the golden toad served Wang Mang during the Han Dynasty. Does that mean these two are over a thousand years old?

To understand the power of a thousand-year-old python spirit, one only needs to compare it to Bai Suzhen.

Even without the guidance of a great immortal like the Old Mother of Lishan, this black python demon's strength is probably not weak.

But whether something is powerful or not depends on mortals and ordinary gods.

This python spirit might be able to defeat a sixth or seventh-rank immortal, but it couldn't cause any trouble against Luo Yan.

Seeing that his physical attack was effective against the formation, Luo Yan threw another punch, slamming it into the transparent formation.

The ingenious formation was broken instantly. It seems that Luo Yan doesn't need to learn any formations to be an expert in breaking formations.

Without the cover of the formation, the surging demonic energy below rushed towards them.

A large group of ignorant shrimp soldiers and crab generals rushed towards the three.

"Your Majesty, please leave these lesser demons to us!" Wu Ying and Leng Ying loudly requested, showing no fear on their faces, but rather eagerness to try.

Luo Yan nodded and restored their size to normal.

Wu Ying and Leng Ying did not hesitate to engage in fierce combat with the shrimp soldiers and crab generals.

Unable to fire lasers and missiles underwater, the two used high-frequency swords to fight each other.

The edge of the rapidly vibrating blade was covered in bubbles. With a single swing, it easily severed the weapons held by the shrimp soldiers and crab generals. With another swing, it cleaved open the shells of the lobsters and crabs.

Crab roe and shrimp roe spread in the water, and the remaining monsters howled and became even more ferocious.

"So weak, so weak, these monsters are not powerful at all."

Wu Ying brandished his high-frequency sword, his eyes filled with contempt.

But in reality, even without his mecha suit and high-frequency sword, it wouldn't be easy for him to kill these small fry.

These monsters' shells are all harder than refined iron. If you try to break through their defenses with ordinary weapons, you would need a strongman wielding an iron hammer.

Even if a strongman could break through their defenses, he would still be no match for the shrimp soldiers and crab generals.

The number and strength of muscles in arthropods are unmatched by mammals.

A lobster the same size as a human can unleash power far exceeding that of a human strongman.

They can easily crush a human into a pile of mud with just a casual swing of their pincers.

This is why Wu Ying and Leng Ying wore mechs; the hard alloy helped them withstand the attacks of the shrimp soldiers and crab generals, allowing them to easily kill these minor demons.

Seeing that the monster in front of them was not as powerful as they had imagined, the two of them went all out, slaughtering everyone in their path and relentlessly chasing after the shrimp soldiers and crab generals.

"Stop, you damned humans, stop now!"

A thunderous voice rang out.

Seeing more and more shrimp soldiers and crab generals being killed, the master of the Crystal Dragon Palace could no longer sit still.

The torrent surged, and whirlpools appeared out of nowhere, sweeping towards Wu Ying and Leng Ying.

The engines of the mechs behind the two continued to roar, resisting the water flow and managing to withstand the magic, preventing them from being pushed away by the current.

"How dare you! Who is attacking us?"

Wu Ying and Leng Ying glared left and right, searching for the enemy.

"You've already stormed my Dragon Palace, and you still ask who's dealing with you?"

A dark figure appeared, filled with anger, and the shrimp soldiers and crab generals all turned around and knelt down to face the glazed palace.

Emerging from the crystal dragon palace at the bottom of the well was a large serpent with black scales all over its body, two horns on its head, resembling neither a dragon nor a jiao (a type of Chinese dragon).

This giant snake was over eighty meters long, thin at the head and tail, and thick in the middle, resembling a green train, and was incredibly large.

Its speed was also very fast, and in the blink of an eye it arrived in front of Wu Ying and Leng Ying, and a deathly pressure enveloped the two of them.

Wu Ying and Leng Ying stared in disbelief at the red snake eyes. Their muscles stiffened as they were stared at, and the fear of being swallowed whole by the giant snake and digested into excrement arose in their minds.

At this moment, Luo Yan stepped forward, standing in front of Wu Ying and Leng Ying, and shielded them from the giant snake's oppressive aura.

"You, the one in charge, have finally shown up."

Luo Yan stared directly at the giant snake before him, sensing the aura of his opponent.

It's very weak. The strength of Orochi's body is estimated to be similar to that of an alien creature with a fighting power of around 100,000 in the Dragon Ball world. In terms of magic power, it is slightly higher than that of the City God Koujun, but not by much.

A thousand years of cultivation seems less valuable than Kou Zhun's instant attainment of godhood.

But in actual combat, it's estimated to be much stronger than the incense god.

"You are... the one who occupied Daimyo Prefecture."

The giant snake's pupils contracted slightly, as it recognized Luo Yan's identity.

"Hmm, you know me?"

"How could I not know? As a cultivator, you have interfered with the karmic order of Heaven. Your name is known to everyone in the world."

The battle between Luo Yan and Kou Zhun, in which Luo Yan wielded the Five Thunders and caused a celestial upheaval, attracted the attention of many gods and demons.

Although none of them showed up, they watched the battle through various means.

The giant snake was awakened from its secluded cultivation by the magical power of Luo Yan and Kou Zhun.

After awakening, the giant serpent appeared in the human world and secretly witnessed the battle between the two from afar with its divine sense, thus learning of Luo Yan's existence.

The giant snake was very interested in Luo Yan. Later, after Luo Yan occupied Daming Prefecture, it even transformed into human form and inquired about Luo Yan's deeds in Daming Prefecture.

That is, when the giant snake left Daming Prefecture and returned to its residence in the well, it revealed its true form and was seen by the farmer, thus revealing a clue.

Otherwise, Luo Yan wouldn't have known that there were monsters in his territory, or that he had inquired about them.

Luo Yan had strong senses, and during his battle with Kou Zhun, he also sensed many divine thoughts observing him. However, there were too many of these divine thoughts, and they were too subtle for Luo Yan to find and investigate one by one, so he let it go.

Even when the giant snake infiltrated Daming Prefecture, it dared not use its divine sense to directly spy on Luo Yan. Instead, it gathered information indirectly by asking passersby.

That's why Luo Yan hadn't discovered the giant snake.

"You, a demon, also believe in karma and fate?" Luo Yan asked curiously.

"I didn't believe it at first, but after helping Wang Mang, I believed it."

Monsters only believe in the law of the jungle and have no belief in cause and effect or fate. The Heavenly Court forbids cultivators from attacking mortals, but monsters don't care. They eat people and kill people as they please, without any taboos.

This giant snake was originally like that; it used to eat and harm people, disbelieving in heaven and fate, and only wanting to transform into a dragon and ascend to heaven.
