Chapter 771: Chapter 769: A Journey of No Return!
Within the Cloud Dream Temple, amidst the main hall.
The appearance of the temple-enforcing divine stone instantly drew the attention of all the mighty experts present.
Previously, they had already come to blows over the resources for cultivating in the realms of Human Venerate, Earth Venerate, and Heavenly Honor, practically wanting to bash each other’s brains out.
Now...
Laid before them was the entire Cloud Dream Temple.
Who could resist such temptation?
Boom rumble rumble!
The terrifying energy collisions were like huge tidal waves crashing into one another, causing fearsome energy shocks to erupt.
The dreadful energy shockwaves surged outwards in all directions.
Wherever they passed.
Many strong experts were consequently affected.
Some who had not reached the Longevity Secret Realm were directly pulverized into a rain of blood and flesh by the fearsome shockwaves.
"Nobody’s going to steal this from me!"
"The temple-enforcing divine stone, it’s mine..."
"Get out of my way!"
The assault of each powerful expert was varied and colorful, with innate energies swirling wildly.
Filling the entire main hall.
No one noticed...
In the fierce battlefield, from time to time, some figures would silently disappear.
Just like Zhao Hong, a Fifth Layer Human Venerable Realm expert from the Treasure Pavilion. Right as he was about to touch the temple-enforcing divine stone, he was struck in the back by Elder Tianku’s palm. With a buzzing sound and a burst of dazzling light emerging from his body, he revealed an armor-like tortoiseshell emerging on the surface of his body.
It blocked that palm strike, sparing his life.
But he was still slapped away by Elder Tianku.
As blood splattered through the air.
Zhao Hong crashed into a nearby rockery with a boom, and just as he was struggling to get up, he felt a terrifying devouring force around him.
With a swoosh.
Zhao Hong silently vanished from sight.
To everyone else...
All of this seemed like Elder Tianku had slapped Zhao Hong to his death against the rockery.
Meanwhile.
In the true main hall, Xiao Yi and Little Lin were ready to strike from left and right.
Suddenly...
Between them, a dark void cave appeared, and with a swish, Zhao Hong flew out from it. Zhao Hong was utterly baffled, "What place is this?"
What greeted him was an extremely sharp sword light: "Sword Twenty-Three!"
Swish!
A domain of swords enveloped him.
The sky full of sword energy poured down like torrential rain, loudly striking upon Zhao Hong amid the deafening sounds.
Wow!
Taken by surprise, Zhao Hong was gravely injured.
"Damn it..."
Zhao Hong, who had just taken a barrage of sword rain, suddenly widened his eyes. Just as he recognized Xiao Yi in front of him, the world around him turned dark. It was then Little Lin who made a move, unleashing his Innate Divine Ability to swallow Zhao Hong whole. Little Lin’s body fluctuated in size as the light dimmed and brightened in his eyes. After several dozen breaths, Little Lin buzzed out a puff of black mist.
Streams of utterly pure dragon essence flew out from his mouth.
Xiao Yi waved his hand casually.
Sweeping up the dragon essence, he gathered it into a jade bottle.
"Boss, we’ve already collected several hundred dragon origins..." Little Lin’s eyes were filled with excited light, his crimson tongue licking his lips as he eagerly said, "If we could devour Elder Tian Ku, Su Xinghe, and Yang Dingtian as well, I’m afraid we might reach the Ninth Layer Human Venerable Realm, or even break through to the Earth Venerate Realm!"
This dragon essence was the essence of a martial artist’s lifelong cultivation in the Longevity Secret Realm.
The effect on enhancing one’s cultivation was even better than the most precious elixirs. 𝖓𝔬𝔳𝔭𝖚𝖇.𝔠𝔬𝖒
More importantly...
The cultivation gained from devouring dragon essence came without any side effects.
Just as Little Lin had said, if they could devour the three Earthly Honor powerhouses including Su Xinghe and refine them into dragon essence, they had a good chance of breaking through to the Earthly Honor Realm.
However...
Xiao Yi glanced at the flickering black light hiding within Little Lin’s eyes, which had become extremely condensed. This was the aftereffect of Little Lin using his Innate Divine Ability to refine these powerful beings into dragon essence. Xiao Yi then shook his head and said, "These dragon origins are enough for our cultivation in the short term, and besides, aren’t we now in control of the Cloud Dream Temple? Do we even need to worry about cultivation resources?"
The Cloud Dream Temple.
This was once the royal palace of the Yunmeng Dynasty, home to the Yunmeng Demon Emperor.
Stored within were the entire dynasty’s treasured collections from the past.
Why let Little Lin risk demonization to devour and refine these powerhouses?
Little Lin naturally understood Xiao Yi’s thoughts. Touched, he hesitated for a moment before saying in a deep voice, "Boss, what should we do next then?"
Although they were now in actual control of the Cloud Dream Temple.
But...
Not to mention outside the main hall there were three Earth Venerate Realm powerhouses and dozens of Human Venerate Realm fighters watching closely.
Even without these powerhouses.
Once the news of them obtaining the Cloud Dream Temple spreads out, not only the Nantian Dynasty, Nantian Holy Land, and even the Changsheng Sect, but also powerhouses from other provinces would not let them go.
An innocent man will be punished for being in possession of a cherished gem.
With their current strength, they were no match for the vast Cloud Dream Temple!
Xiao Yi sensed the fierce battle erupting within the main hall, especially with Su Xinghe now leading a group of Human Venerable Realm mighty ones to contend against the two Tian Ku elders, forming a three-way stand-off. No one could best the other, and a winner was unlikely to be decided in the short term. What’s more, even if any one of them obtained the Hall-Protecting Divine Stone,
Given Xiao Yi’s control over the Cloud Dream Temple, they would still take at least a month to refine it.
This one month was the key period for Xiao Yi to secure absolute possession of the Cloud Dream Temple.
Nobody knew yet that Xiao Yi had fully taken control of the Cloud Dream Temple.
But once they start refining the Hall-Protecting Divine Stone and still fail to control the Cloud Dream Temple,
By then...
They would inevitably suspect that this was all a trap.
No one could assure what the enraged ones would do in response.
Moreover,
Currently, every one of them believed they had a chance of refining the Hall-Protecting Divine Stone, thereby owning the Cloud Dream Temple, and had not spread the news. Yet once they realized there was no hope of seizing the Cloud Dream Temple, many among them might immediately disseminate the information, attracting more powerhouses.
Upon this thought,
Xiao Yi took a deep breath and looked at Little Lin before him, "Little Lin, activate the Changsheng Cauldron to its limit, refine the dragon origin!"
The energy contained within these dragon origins was extremely fearsome.
Without the help of the Changsheng Cauldron, let alone a month, even ten years might not be enough to fully refine it.
"Boss, you mean..." A terrifying thought emerged in Little Lin’s mind as he looked at Xiao Yi, his eyes shining.
Xiao Yi tightly gripped the dragon origin in his hand, his eyes narrowed to slits as he looked toward the main hall, where Elder Tian Ku, Yang Dingtian, Su Xinghe, and others were still locked in a bloodbath, vying for the Hall-Protecting Divine Stone that Xiao Yi had casually condensed. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, unfolding into a cold smile laced with a chilling murderous intent, "I’m going to make sure they never return!"
