The Growth of a God

Chapter 893: Chapter 3: Douluo Palace

Huo Dou and Wang Shu were not indecisive individuals.

After confirming that the purplish-gray light in the distance was the only light source, the two of them flew towards it without hesitation.

During this process, they once again felt the extraordinary nature of this world.

The power of Chaos was isolated outside this darkness.

The intersecting dimensions could not interfere with the operation and order of this space.

"Is that... a lantern?"

Until they got closer to the light source, Huo Dou finally saw what it was.

It seemed to be a giant palace. ƒreewebɳovel.com

Eight octagonal lanterns hung high at eight corners of this palace.

Points of purplish-gray light seeped from the lanterns, giving a dreamy, illusory feeling.

Initially, being too far away, the two thought there was only one light source here.

In fact, it was the light from eight lanterns, each emitting the same purplish-gray light, creating the illusion of being one.

"Innate Trigrams?"

Observing more carefully than Huo Dou, Wang Shu recognized that the eight lanterns were placed in the positions of the Innate Trigrams.

And on the surface of each lantern, corresponding trigram patterns were etched.

Qian, Kun, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Li, Gen, Dui...

The trigram patterns kept rotating, each rotation generating a new change, a new oracle.

The most astonishing thing was that Wang Shu sensed the dimensional power from those rotating trigram patterns.

Those eight lanterns were not ordinary lanterns but Divine Artifacts corresponding to eight types of dimensional power.

These eight dimensions intertwined and combined, forming the myriad phenomena, thus opening an independent small world in a place nearly zero-dimensional.

In fact, after Wang Shu’s reminder, Huo Dou perceived it even more clearly.

Because Huo Dou’s true self—Li Hao also had a similar special world.

[Divine Treasure Vault?]

This thought flashed through his mind, and Huo Dou quickly confirmed this speculation.

This was a special space similar to the [Divine Treasure Vault].

Only then could it exist independently from the [Ascension Area] and [Fallen Area].

Likewise, this also explained why Huo Dou and Wang Shu could wield the power of Gods here.

Because this was essentially a man-made [Ascension Area], a high-dimensional space capable of evolving myriad phenomena.

Of course, to call it a high-dimensional space might not be entirely accurate.

Because here, it was a space-time of dimensional chaos, where high dimensions and low dimensions coexisted.

It was those eight lanterns that maintained the order of this space, the intertwining of the eight trigrams signifying changes of the eight dimensions, co-nurturing more complex dimensions.

"Unfortunately, it seems this place has experienced more than one great battle."

Shifting his gaze from those eight lanterns, Huo Dou sighed regretfully.

Because under the protection of those eight lanterns, what should be a majestic and grand palace had turned into ruins.

"Ruined walls" could no longer describe the state of this palace.

The main hall had a gaping hole, and the stone lions on both sides were dilapidated and decayed...

Even the steps leading to the main hall were cracked and covered in dust due to the long passage of time.

Not only that, but on the outermost part of this palace, the remnants and skeletons left by unknown creatures were everywhere.

At a glance, Huo Dou spotted many that could be called divine corpses, divine bones, and divine blood.

These were entities left in the material layer after high-dimensional beings descended to lower dimensions.

These divine corpses, bones, and blood, some old and some new.

The old ones had long lost trace of their original appearance while the new ones still maintained a vitality indistinguishable from life or death.

"Just not long ago, a battle occurred here."

Scanning around, Wang Shu came to a conclusion similar to Huo Dou’s.

It seemed that right before they arrived, this place had just undergone a great battle.

The dead and the destruction they caused remained over the ruins, while the living had already entered the palace.

"Let’s go! Check it out inside!"

This time, Wang Shu was the first to express the desire to go in and have a look.

After all, whether in the past or now, Wang Shu was not the kind to hesitate.

"I have no objection, so let’s go!"

Still leading the way, Huo Dou was curious about what had happened here.

Thus, the two of them moved forward in tacit agreement and soon traversed the ruined walls at the palace’s outskirts to reach the palace’s main structure covered by the eight lanterns.

Massive steps extended upward from the very bottom, a total of nine hundred and ninety-nine steps.

As the two moved upward, they occasionally had to bypass the divine corpses lying across the steps.

"Roar!"

Suddenly, a roar echoed out of nowhere.

A nameless entity, the closest to the two, surged up furiously, and the split into three corpse exuded a terrifying texture.

Even in death, the remains of Gods in the material layer were extremely dangerous.

These corpses yearned to live, desperate enough to attack anything moving to continue existing.

Unfortunately, the attacked entity was no ordinary creature.

Bam!

Huo Dou and Wang Shu didn’t even glance at it, as a golden barrier blocked it.

That barrier was the manifestation of Huo Dou’s power.

The words and talismans floating above originated from the Great Tao Proverbs of the [Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Treasure Pagoda].

Before the corpse could approach the barrier, it was purified by those proverbs. freewёbnoνel.com

"Roar!"

This time, the corpse emitted a wailing-like scream of despair.

The next second, its vitality was stripped away by the golden barrier, turning it into a pile of immobile dead matter.

Witnessing this scene, the restless corpses nearby ceased making any move, no longer daring to look at the two ascending figures.

These monsters born from the remnants of Gods could still sense danger.

"Your barrier technique... seems to be no less impressive than your divination ability?"

Blinking, Wang Shu seriously examined the golden barrier surrounding them for once.

This golden barrier was a world unto itself.

Within it, regardless of the harsh or extreme environment, Huo Dou could perfectly unleash his power.

The occasional appearance of the Great Tao Proverbs on the barrier added a mysterious feel.

"If you want to learn, I could teach you after we return!"

In a bit of a teasing manner, Huo Dou murmured softly and then suddenly stopped.

They had completed the stairs, standing at the entrance to the palace’s main hall.

Now before them was a slightly ajar bronze door.

Above that bronze door, a plaque hung with three large characters: Douluo Palace.
