Chapter 337: The fruitless wait

Alex grabbed the hammer that came to his hand. The hammer was the weapon of the Emperor of Dominion. While Layla grabbed a staff that gravitated towards her. That was the weapon of the Love Empress.

When they grabbed the weapons and stowed them into their spatial rings, they came out of this place that they were in through a portal that had appeared before them.

And as soon as they appeared at the bottom of the water where the pressure was so great that they would simply explode into mists of blood, the Azure Beastsman treasure-palace shot out of Alex's mom's spatial ring and instantly grew to a large size, quickly teleporting the both of them into it.

"Are the both of you okay" The Palace-spirit asked.

"Yea, we are fine." Alex said.

Layla looked at the Love Empress's weapon with a smile in her face when she brought it out of her spatial ring.

"I can't imagine I would ever have this. I am so happy." Layla said.

Alex smiled.

Then he too produced the hammer of the Emperor of Dominion and looked at it with a smile in his face.

"Look at it, seems so powerful. Like it could knock down the entire sky with a single strike. That's the feeling I am getting from it" Alex said while Layla nodded.

Then they both stowed their weapons into their spatial rings and sat down on the floor of the hall they were in to cultivate and comprehend the vast number of methods and techniques that were transmitted into their memories.

Not long, the treasure-palace which slowly floated to the surface of the lake arrived before the beasts that tried to attack Alex and Layla to stop them from going further to receive the legacy.

"Alex, would you like to add those beasts to the ones that you already have?" The Palace-spirit asked.

Alex who was cultivating and comprehending at the same time heard what the Palace-spirit said. And without standing from his cross-legged position on the ground, he asked" Can you bring them in?"

"Sure" The Palace-spirit replied.

"Okay. Please bring them in." Alex said.

Then the space around the entire beasts at that depth of the lake suddenly warped.

The massive beasts despite their huge numbers and sizes were abruptly teleported into a part of the palace.

"They have been brought in" The Palace-spirit said.

Alex who was still concentrating on his cultivation and comprehension nodded his head.

After sometime, the treasure-palace which had increased it movement speed came out of the lake and then shot away to the Smith city at an extreme speed.

At the moment, Maximilian and his sister, Lenna had arrived at the lake, awaiting Alex and Layla's emergence from the pool.

With sinister gazes, they looked at the lake as they awaited Alex's and Layla's appearance from the pool.

However, after many weeks of patently waiting to unleash their vengeful attacks, they still didn't see anybody emerge from the lake. And they had been here since many months ago.

"Isn't he going to come out again or what? Has he seen us and decided to remain in there?" Lenna asked her brother who also had a look of confusion in his face.

"I don't think he would have seen us. It is impossible. Perhaps he has died in there" Maximilian said.

"Hmm" Lenna uttered.

Then a thought came to her mind.

"Should we go in to see if there's anything or anyone in there?" Lenna asked.

"Yea. Let's do so" Maximilian said agreeably.

Then with a deep inhale, they both dived into the pool and began to swim to it bottom.

As they swam, they came across nothing.

It was empty.

Lenna furrowed her brows while Maximilian had a look of wrath in his face.

He however still tried to swim to the bottom.

But they could not go far as the cultivation restriction was still in place.

A pressure that belonged to the Great Saint stage suddenly acted on them and their bodies cracked and began to bleed.

As Saint stage experts, they wouldn't be able to endure the pressure from a Great Saint stage expert.

Instantly, before their bodies could explode into mists of blood, they shot out of the lake at insane speeds using their power of flight.

When they came out of the lake, they landed on the ground fully exhausted.

They had used everything they had to jet away from the encompassing, insane crushing pressure that came upon them at that depth.

Then after using average-grade, Saint-level healing pills which they produced from their spatial rings, the wounds that had appeared all over their bodies due to the crushing pressure began to slowly heal.

After they were fully healed, Lenna said to her brother "I get it now. They must have been destroyed by that pressure that also almost wiped us out"

"Yea. But it pains me a lot that we have just been hanging around for nothing. What a tremendous waste of our time." Maximilian said.

Lenna after hearing what her brother said shook her head in displeasure.

"That bastard. What a quick death he was granted." She said.

"Yea. He was granted a quick death. Or if he had ended up in our hands, he would have regretted being born into this world." Maximilian said.

"Anyways, we would still go after Olivia. She must be tortured and killed for what her cowardly husband did to our little brother." Lenna said.

"Sure. I would also go to that Imperial Herb House to get that girl. I have promised her that she would be sex slave." Maximilian said while Lenna nodded her head.

"Alright. Let's go, brother. Our time here is done" Lenna said.

Maximilian nodded.

Then they both flew into the air and jetted back to the teleportation center at the city. They were going to use it after paying astronomical amount of sapphirstones to teleport back to the city that they came from.

When the Azure Beastsman treasure-palace came out of the lake, although it had seen Maximilian and Lenna, it simply ignored them and went on it way. It didn't know them, neither did it know their intentions.

Also, since it had hidden in another layer of space, Lenna and Maximilian couldn't see it, or they would have chased after it with all their might so it wouldn't escape.

But how could they be a match for a treasure-palace that was built by the Azure Beastsman who was at the Celestial Ruler stage?

Sometimes later, the Azure Beastsman treasure-palace appeared in Smith city. But a lot of things had taken place during their absence which lasted for many months.
