Chapter 876: Chapter 861: What is Seen and Heard Beyond the Hollow!

[No updates today!] The Great Hall was filled with dense clusters of jade monuments; Xiao Chen’s glance swept over thousands of them, and some radiated an intense aura of the passing years, making clear that the owners of those monuments had perished long ago.

Under the watchful gaze of the master of the Divine Marquis Palace, Xiao Chen stepped forward into the depths of the Great Hall, passing by stele after stele. The size and material of these monuments were identical, so Xiao Chen swiftly chose one to imprint with his God Marquis Seal.

Hum!

At his forehead, a purple and gold ethereal mist manifested, along with the simplistic Desolate Character, which now took solid form and undulated continuously within the purple and gold mist.

In the blink of an eye, the Desolate Character melded into the jade monument in front of him, sending out rippling waves; a purple and gold radiance flickered over the monument.

In fact, Xiao Chen was still unclear as to why he needed to imprint his God Marquis title on it.

Hum!

As the purple and gold Desolate Character mist returned, the jade monument already bore the imprint of the Desolate Character, a seal of destiny and Xiao Chen’s spiritual brand that no other warrior could falsely claim.

Once the purple and gold mist dispersed, the originally cold jade monument now possessed a sense of vitality, becoming luminous and vibrant with flowing light.

"Palace Master," Xiao Chen quickly returned to the elder and spoke with respect.

"All the jade monuments in this Great Hall are connected to the divine objects that suppress the destiny of the East Desolate Land. Imprinting your God Marquis title and spiritual will on one intertwines your fate with these divine objects; should you fall, the monument will lose its vitality," the elder’s voice was hoarse but solemn as he pointed to the many jade monuments in the hall.

"Similarly, by branding your God Marquis title and spiritual will here, and connecting with the lineage’s divine objects, it will greatly aid the enhancement of your destiny in the future. However, all of these require your own comprehension," he continued.

"I will heed your guidance with care!"

"At your age, to possess such cultivation, in all my years on the path of cultivation, I’ve rarely seen the likes of you. Being named a God Marquis without having become a legend is truly a great fortune for our Divine Marquis Palace. However, be more cautious in the future. The Hundred Clans of Heaven are never lenient with the strong warrior God Marquises of our human race," the elder said, his eyes filled with a dense killing intent. As the master of the Divine Marquis Palace, each God Marquis warrior represented a hope for the entire human race.

Naturally, the hope of the human race, to those from other races, is like a nightmare; it is only right to extinguish it before it can grow.

"Alright, according to the rules, upon advancing to God Marquis and leaving your mark in the Divine Marquis Palace, you automatically become an honorary elder of the East Emperor Palace. Although it doesn’t carry actual power, it symbolizes status, which will make it more convenient for you to act in the Human World," the elder explained.

Saying this, a gilt token appeared in the elder’s hand. The token had two sides: one bearing the words ’Divine Marquis,’ representing the Divine Marquis Palace, and the other inscribed with ’East Emperor,’ representing the East Emperor Palace.

"This token is your proof of identity, signifying you are a person of our Divine Marquis Palace. We do not constrain the freedom of warriors, and it also represents the status of an honorary elder of the East Emperor Palace. Imprint your personal seal on it and keep it safe," the elder told him.

Xiao Chen took the token from his hand and safely stored it away.

"Luo Mu, take the Desolate Marquis down and find a mountain range for rest. Also, help the Desolate Marquis get acquainted with the Divine Marquis Palace," the master of the Divine Marquis Palace called over to Luo Mu Divine Marquis and instructed.

"Yes!" Luo Mu Divine Marquis bowed slightly and said aloud.

"Go on, get familiar with the Divine Marquis Palace," the master of the Divine Marquis Palace waved his hand at Xiao Chen and then turned away, no longer concerning himself with Xiao Chen and Luo Mu Divine Marquis as he entered deeper into the Great Hall, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

"Let’s go, Desolate Marquis," Seeing the elder’s figure vanish, Luo Mu Divine Marquis said to Xiao Chen, "I will show you around the Divine Marquis Palace, and then we’ll pick out a treasured land for your future residence there.

Atop an ancient mountain, towering a thousand zhang high and spanning dozens of miles, there was a grey palace on the peak of the ancient mountain.

The lone characteristic of this mountain range was its barrenness. Ancient trees formed a forest stretching from the foot of the mountain, dozens of miles away, to the peak, yet every tree was stark naked without a single leaf, leaving just bare trunks and stumps that exuded an aura of decay.

"The Dao of Wood I cultivate draws upon the mysteries of withered wood, and because this ancient mountain carries a hint of ruin and decay, I’ve chosen to establish my Dao ground here," Luo Mu Divine Marquis said, appearing somewhat embarrassed by the desolation.

"Don’t worry about it," Xiao Chen responded with a smile.

The summit of the ancient mountain was a palace built of withered wood, two to three miles in size, squarely constructed with a casual design. Even the branches of the withered trees jutted from the palace, where several elderly figures were seen sweeping the courtyard.

"In our Divine Marquis Palace, each Divine Marquis may find a treasured land within this Small World as a Dao ground. The location and size depend on personal preference, and the Divine Marquis Palace will assign some Guards and Warriors to help manage it," explained Luo Mu Divine Marquis.

Luo Mu Divine Marquis began explaining to Xiao Chen, pointing at the palace in front of him and once again said, "The chosen habitat is not restricted to only the Divine Marquis’s kinsfolk and disciples."

"In this Withered Wood Palace of mine, there live three of my disciples and some followers. Besides them, there are also guards and warriors who help clean the courtyard. Naturally, the other Divine Marquises will receive the same treatment."

Xiao Chen saw two warriors seated cross-legged outside the Withered Wood Palace, clad in armor, with war sabers laid across their knees, guarding the entrance to the palace with an intertwining aura of sharpness and a pervasive atmosphere of killing intent.

Hmm?

Xiao Chen’s gaze became more focused because these two guards were both legendary strong ones at the ninth tier of the Towering Realm, which made his heart quiver.

A strong one capable of supporting a department of the Legendary Marquis was merely a warrior guarding the Great Hall here; this was simply unbelievable...

At this moment, Xiao Chen could no longer describe the shock he felt. It was even more extraordinary than the warriors he had seen guarding the Void Array Platform when he had first teleported here.

Hum!

The Void trembled slightly. The two warriors sitting outside the Great Hall opened their eyes in an instant. Their gaze was filled with a sharp light, and there seemed to be an intention to tear apart space; however, upon seeing Luo Mu Divine Marquis, all their auras were retracted in an instant.

"These two warriors are my followers. When I was granted the title of Divine Marquis, they volunteered to serve under me," Luo Mu Divine Marquis said, piquing Xiao Chen’s interest. Although Divine Marquises were endowed with divine luck, taking Luo Mu Divine Marquis as an example, aside from being a Divine Marquis, he was also a strong one at the ninth tier of the Towering Realm. Even with his heaven-shocking combat capabilities, how could he attract followers of the same realm?

"You will know the reason in the future," said Luo Mu Divine Marquis without revealing the reason to Xiao Chen, instead giving a light laugh, appearing rather mysterious.

"Divine Marquis, take a rest in my Withered Wood Palace for now. I will tell you about the Divine Marquis Palace’s Small World," invited Luo Mu Divine Marquis as he led Xiao Chen into the Great Hall.

Deep Void World.

The Milky Way, like a silver jade belt, shimmered in the depths of the Void. Yet, at this moment, the Milky Way had changed dramatically compared to a year ago, or even half a year prior.

Although these Milky Ways still had silver waves rippling through them, beastly roars erupted occasionally, with Void Crocodiles emerging from within. Inside these rivers of stars, space had started to form.

What’s more, these spaces derived from the Milky Ways were continuously expanding, with several of them already starting to merge into a larger space.

Roar!

At this moment, deep within one of the Milky Ways, silver spatial ripples fluctuated as a tyrannical presence enveloped dozens of miles of the Void World. A massive head rose from the rolling silver waves—an enormous, single-horned creature shining like silver light, a Void Crocodile.

"Beast!"

With a thunderous outcry emanating from the Endless Void, the formidable body of the Void Crocodile above the river suddenly froze.

Pop!

With a faint sound, devoid of grandiose momentum, the Void Crocodile, enveloped in an evil aura, burst into dust and vanished into thin air.

At that location, a figure with a scorpion’s tail and a human’s body emerged, possessing countless indeterminate scorpion tails. The hooked end of the sinister scorpion tail flickered with a chilling blue light that made one shiver.

"Why hold a meeting in such a hidden place when even if the human race discovers it, what can they do?" The Scorpion People strong one let out a cold snort and dove into the Milky Way the next moment.

"Golden Armored Scorpion King, you are indeed late!"

This Milky Way had not completely formed yet, with fragmented spaces piling up like clumps of layers, efficiently insulating their presences from one another.

"Ha ha, everyone is here. My Scorpion Clan isn’t as powerful as some clans, so we have to be more careful. I need to avoid the human kings, naturally arriving a bit later," said the Golden Armored Scorpion King casually.

"I think the Golden Armored Scorpion King is smug after winning a battle for divine luck and devouring the fortune from a human territory," the Blood Clan’s Sea of Blood King sneered.

"I dare not. Our Scorpion Clan is small and weak compared to you all. Even after devouring the human race’s fortune, it’s hard to progress in a short time."

Even though his words sounded humble, the other kings could feel his smugness.

"You cannot compare with the Blood Clan. Even though a fraction of the fortune was devoured, our clan’s lineage is ancient and unbroken, powerful throughout generations. The loss of some luck is not worth concern."

"You..."The space suddenly churned with the Sea of Blood roiling.

"Enough! We did not come here to quarrel. It’s just a gain or loss of one territory. If my several clans descended upon the Void to conquer the Human Realm, it would be premature to start internal conflicts!"

A roar suddenly filled the space as a dense Demonic Qi spread out, separating the Sea of Blood.
