Ye Yuan’s voice had yet to fade when a rift directly opened up in the void. Countless electric light wormed out from inside the void and instantly filled the entire cave.
Boundless dragon pressure, as if it was the galaxy in the sky, poured down.
Seeing this scene, Ye Yuan could not help gasping in amazement too!
He had yet to see the true face of the final reward, and Ye Yuan already felt its power!
“Hiss … What a powerful dragon pressure! Senior Long Teng, you’re a member of the dragon clan too. Do you know what this thing is? En? Senior Long Teng?”
Ye Yuan looked over towards Long Teng but discovered that Long Teng was staring fixedly at that item which slowly appeared in the void.
“Could it be … Could it be … Impossible! How is this possible?” Long Teng murmured.
“You didn’t see wrongly. It’s the Sacred Dragon Token.”
At this time, Long Zhan’s figure slowly appeared once more.
Ye Yuan involuntarily looked towards him, and his expression could not help changing. “You …”
“The Sacred Dragon Token coming into being, my mission is also complete. I’ll naturally vanish like mist and smoke. It’s just, I don’t know if the original body is still alive or not.” Long Zhan’s gaze looked towards the endless void as if wanting to find traces of his original body.
But 100 thousand years had passed already. Where have Deity Realm powerhouses gone, nobody knew either. He, Long Zhan, naturally did not know as well.
At this time, Long Zhan, that mass of black shadow, gradually became faint and was going to disappear very soon.
“Brat, the Sacred Dragon Token is the dragon race’s supreme treasure, and also the symbol of the identity of the clan leader! Now that you’ve acquired it, you must detach yourself from the human race and become a member of my dragon race! It gives you great strength. Conversely, you have to brave fire and floodwater for the dragon race too!” Long Zhan said solemnly.
Ye Yuan froze, and he shook his head and said, “I’m a human, this won’t ever change! Using a precious treasure to kidnap my identity, not possible! What to do in the future, I have the final say, while you … don’t!”
Presently, Ye Yuan’s dragon race bloodline could virtually rival the royals already.
But no matter what, Ye Yuan had never considered himself to be a member of the dragon race. Want him to give up on his identity as a human and thoroughly become a dragon, that was something impossible.
Long Zhan mused for a moment and suddenly said, “I knew that you, this punk, won’t obey obediently! Forget it, how to act in the future, it’s your business! But you have to promise me, if the dragon clan has any needs, you must help! If you’re not around anymore one day, return the Sacred Dragon Token to the dragon clan!”
Ye Yuan mused for a moment and said with a nod, “That’s not impossible. Fine, I promise you! When the dragon clan is in trouble, I’ll take action!”
The black shadow became increasingly fainter. Long Zhan finally looked at Long Teng and said, “You, this brat, are also an arrow at the end of its flight already. Forget it, this is a Skandha Divine Stone, take it. Before leaving, I’ll gift you another good fortune!”
Chapter 916 - Divine Essence
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Long Zhan formed seals with both hands. A cloud of black gas emitted from within Long Zhan’s black shadow and directly entered inside Long Teng’s body.
After the black gas entered Long Teng’s body, his aura instantly strengthened considerably.
“This is my last trace of soul force. Saving it is pointless too, might as well give it to you. With this trace of soul force, you should be able to recover 30-40% of your strength. Plus the Skandha Divine Stone, before long, you should be able to recover to your peak condition,” Long Zhan said calmly.
Ye Yuan was slightly startled in his heart by the side. This wisp of remnant soul of Long Zhan’s was clearly feeble to the extreme already. It actually still had such power.
The might of Deity Realm powerhouses was indeed unimaginable!
“Thank you very much, Lord Long Zhan!” Long Teng bowed respectfully and said.
Long Zhan waved his hand and said, “My soul force being depleted, I’m only left with a trace of residual consciousness. Whether it’s going with the wind or returning to the original body, I’m looking forward to it very much too! Brat, don’t forget your promise!”
Finished talking, Long Zhan’s body became more and more illusionary, all the way until it finally disappeared.
And right at this time, a hard object the size of a short stick slowly flew out from the void and came to Ye Yuan’s hand.
When Long Teng saw this item, he was immediately extremely agitated: “Sacred Dragon Token! It’s really the Sacred Dragon Token! It’s been missing for over 100 thousand years already. I didn’t think that it was actually buried inside this Heavenly Slaughter Pit! Just what in the world happened back then?”
Ye Yuan said curiously, “This thing is really your dragon race’s treasure? No matter how I look at it, it’s also not much different from a fire rod?”
One could not blame Ye Yuan for being curious too. This thing that looked similar to a short staff in front of him was really too unremarkable.
Its whole body was pitch-black. There were even traces of wear and tear on the staff’s body. It did not have the slightest trace of essence energy undulation either. Compared to the overwhelming astoundment from when it made an appearance, the difference was too great.
This kind of lousy toy actually also dared to claim to be the dragon clan’s supreme treasure?
“Rubbish! The Sacred Dragon Token is a divine artifact! How can it be what you and I can appraise? A divine artifact coming into being, most likely … turbulent days are really going to arrive!” Long Teng said with a solemn expression.
Divine Dao dwindling to zero, all divine artifacts were also submerged in history.
Now that a divine artifact had descended upon the world anew, Long Teng kept having a foreboding premonition.
“Speaking of divine artifacts, what is the Vast Heaven Stele? Also, the Soul Suppressing Pearl. Ugh … I can’t understand what it’s all about!” Ye Yuan said helplessly.
Long Teng was speechless. Divine artifacts were likewise incomparably mysterious to him.
Forget about him, even Fang Tian did not figure out just what kind of the existence the Vast Heaven Stele was either.
“Forget it, forget it. Better go out first. Since it’s good stuff, keep it first then say. But … how should we go out?” Ye Yuan said speechlessly.
Long Zhan that fellow disappeared just like that, leaving them trapped inside this cave.
Long Teng said, “This place should be an independent space. Want to get out of here, we must shatter the space here.”
“Mm, the Voice of the Dragon God was so powerful, and it had no way of shattering this space. In our current states, we can’t get out at all!” Ye Yuan said helplessly.
The Voice of the Dragon God’s sound wave attacks were very powerful. It even made tremors appear in the space. But it still did not shatter this space.
Although Ye Yuan’s strength advanced greatly, to make him shatter this space, he examined himself and knew that he did not have this ability either.
Long Teng mused for a moment and suddenly said, “According to the records in the clan, the Sacred Dragon Token has the ability to shatter the void! Wasn’t it hidden in the void previously too?”
Ye Yuan’s eyes lit up when he heard that, and he took the Sacred Dragon Token out once again.
He poured essence energy into the Sacred Dragon Token. But, there was no reaction at all.
“As expected, is it a fire rod?” Ye Yuan said speechlessly.
Long Teng shot him a glare and said crossly, “Divine artifacts are used by Deity Realm powerhouses. Want to activate the Sacred Dragon Token, you must use divine essence!”
“Divine essence, simply put, it’s the essence energy that Deity Realm powerhouses use! After mystic qi enters the body and gets refined by Deity Realm powerhouses, it will convert into divine essence!” Long Teng explained.
Regarding Long Teng knowing these things, Ye Yuan was not surprised. The dragon race was one of the races with the longest legacy. They were bound to know some things that the outside world did not know.
But counting in this time, it was Ye Yuan’s second time hearing mystic qi this name.
“But … where do I get divine essence? Without divine essence, isn’t this just a fire rod in my hands?” Ye Yuan said speechlessly.
“Divine essence, don’t you have it on you?” Long Teng suddenly looked at Ye Yuan with a smile that was not a smile.
Ye Yuan could not help being stunned when he heard that. Suddenly startling awake, he said, “You’re saying … that strange essence energy in my essence energy sea?”
Long Teng said smilingly, “That’s right! These divine essences are incomparably precious. They were all obtained by Fang Tian at the Godsfall Mountain Range after exhausting his abilities back then. Each drop is incomparably precious. But didn’t expect that in the end, it benefited you, this brat.”
Ye Yuan was speechless. Turns out that he had been in possession of a treasure all along but was not aware of it! This strange essence energy was actually the divine essence used by Deity Realm powerhouse!
Except, martial artists under Deity Realm were completely unable to unleash the true power of divine essence.
To Ye Yuan, the function of divine essence was merely to instant-cast martial techniques.
If those Deity Realm powerhouses found out that he used divine essence like this, they would definitely be enraged until they climb out from a corpse pile.
But fortunately, Ye Yuan was also aware that this thing was very precious and had never really used it since obtaining it until now.
Ye Yuan shot Long Teng a cross glare and said, “You knew these long ago and actually didn’t tell me all along! Weren’t you afraid that I squander these divine essences away?”
Long Teng said with a smile, “You obtained it, it naturally belongs to you. How to use it is also your business.”
Ye Yuan was thoroughly defeated. He sucked in a deep breath and carefully mobilized several drops of divine essence, and poured it into the Sacred Dragon Token!
All of a sudden, the Sacred Dragon Token gave off a dazzling light. Ye Yuan had yet to activate it when a terrifying aura transmitted out like when it just appeared!
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Ye Yuan suddenly deployed it, abruptly giving a smash towards the void. This area of space actually fragmented apart inch by inch in a split second!
Boom!
The entire space suddenly collapsed. Ye Yuan’s and Long Teng’s figures shrunk and were sucked away by some kind of mysterious force.
Puff, puff, puff …
Above the pavilion’s second floor, those several dozen lanterns instantly all extinguished.
Seeing this scene, Shao Kai suddenly stood up and said with a frown, “What happened? Ye Yuan he … Something wouldn’t have happened, right?”
“Boss Ye is so formidable, it’s impossible for something to happen,” An Ren said.
With a whoosh, space lightly fluctuated. Ye Yuan’s figure appeared inside the pavilion-building once more.
Seeing Ye Yuan appear, An Ren said with a hearty laugh, “What did I say? In this world, a person able to make Boss Ye get into an accident has yet to be born!”
An Ren’s idolization towards Ye Yuan already reached a blind degree.
But Shao Kai’s expression changed and he said, “Ye Yuan, you … you broke through again?”
Ye Yuan merely went to that space for several days time and actually broke through three minor realms in a row. He was already almost breaking through to Phaseless Realm!
This sort of improvement speed was truly too outrageous.
Chapter 917 - Don’t Even Know How to Put on an Act
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Rumble …
Outside of the Dragon Sovereign Territory, the 12 Exalts who were currently meditating suddenly opened their eyes, each and every one of them incomparably shocked.
“What happened? Why did the Dragon Sovereign Territory start to collapse?” an Exalt said solemnly.
“Impossible! This Dragon Sovereign Territory is definitely the grotto of a Deity Realm powerhouses! Who can make it collapse?” Exalt Blazing Fire said with a face full of disbelief too.
The 12 Exalts all harbored very high hopes for the Dragon Sovereign Territory. Otherwise, even if they sent people inside, it was also not possible to keep on waiting outside.
One had to know that this Heavenly Slaughter Pit was only opened for half a year. Every minute every second was incomparably precious.
With this waiting time, they would have long gone to other places to search for treasures.
“The Dragon Sovereign Territory collapsing, something incredible must have happened inside. I wonder, perhaps … our slaughter generals will be in some danger,” Exalt Netherkill slowly said.
Hearing this, the faces of the group of Exalts were all hideous.
Especially Si Yin. She bit her lips lightly, her face revealing a look of despair.
If she lost Ye Yuan, then this trip could virtually be said to be in vain. With this, the disparity between her and the other Exalts would get increasingly greater.
But Exalt Coldblood took this sight entirely into his eyes and said with a light smile, “Why, Younger Sister Si Yin seems to be very concerned about your slaughter generals. Could it be that … you took a liking to that pretty boy?”
Si Yin was startled inwardly, but her expression turned cold, and she said, “Do you think that everyone is as cold-blooded as you are?”
Coldblood took no notice of it and still smiled lightly as he said, “Heh, ten years ago, Young Sister Si Yin moved on your own, but obtained quite a number of good stuff. At present, this Dragon Sovereign Territory can be considered thoroughly done for already. But everyone has gotten nothing. Since Younger Sister Si Yin knows of a treasure land, can you bring everybody there together?”
The moment these words came out, the other Exalts all involuntarily looked towards Si Yin.
Entering the Heavenly Slaughter Pit the last time, apart from the two Exalts who perished, the benefits that the other Exalts obtained were not many. While the one with the greatest harvests were undoubtedly Blazing Fire and Si Yin, these two people.
Blazing Fire obtained benefits inside this Dragon Sovereign Territory. But where Si Yin went to had always been a mystery.
If everyone obtained benefits at the Dragon Sovereign Territory this time, there naturally would not be anyone who would turn their focus onto Si Yin.
However, now that the Dragon Sovereign Territory collapsed, all of the slaughter generals might have died inside. There naturally would be people turning their eyes to Si Yin.
Si Yin’s expression turned cold, and she said, “Coldblood, what’s your meaning?!”
“Heh heh, what’s my meaning, do you still not know? Entering the Heavenly Slaughter Pit this trip, you can’t very well let everybody return empty-handed, right? If there’s good stuff, don’t hide and tuck it away. Everybody searching for treasures together, the harvest will definitely be different too. Don’t you agree, everybody?” Coldblood had a broad smile on his face but appeared very insidious.
“Yeah, Younger Sister Si Yin. You probably didn’t find Ye Yuan in order to enter the Dragon Sovereign Territory either, right?” another Exalt said.
“Si Yin, if there’s any good place, why don’t you disclose it.” The Netherkill who did not speak all along also spoke up in a rare occurrence this time as well.
If it were others, Si Yin would not care much. But Netherkill opening h
is mouth, she had no choice but to take it seriously.
With this, all of the Exalts’ spearheads were pointed at her. This made her feel as if she was sitting on a bed of nails.
“Wow, a bunch of grown men always bullying women. You bunch of Exalts are pretty capable, huh?”
Right then, a lazy voice sounded out.
The Exalts were shocked and hurriedly turned their heads and looked over. It was only to see Ye Yuan leading a group of people who were currently walking out from the direction of the Dragon Sovereign Territory leisurely and unhurriedly.
The Exalts were deeply astonished because the ones following Ye Yuan out were all Exalt Si Yin’s people.
Furthermore … not one was missing!
“Humph! Ye Yuan, the matters between Exalts are hardly your, a measly little slaughter’s turn, to come and cut in! Let me ask you, where are the others?” Upon seeing Ye Yuan, Blazing Fire flared up into a fury.
This guy had cheated him considerably!
“The others? Oh, they have all laid down their lives for all the Lord Exalts. Especially Wu He, before being burned to death by the grand array, he was still talking about how he missed Lord Blazing Fire. It was really touching!”
Ye Yuan made a sorrowful expression, looking very realistic. But Shao Kai they all knew what happened. Each and every one of them could not hold back their laughter but they did not dare to laugh out loud either, nearly stifling until causing internal injuries.
Originally, when Blazing Fire saw Ye Yuan’s expression, he really believed that it was real. But when he swept his gaze across the faces of Shao Kai and the rest, he knew that Ye Yuan was talking sheer nonsense!
Between Exalts and slaughter generals, although it was a lord-subordinate relationship, it was still making use of each other.
Slaughter generals needed to borrow power and influence, while Exalts needed people to slog it out. Then again, the slaughter generals even hoped for the Exalts to die earlier so that they could replace them.
“Stinking brat, you dare to fool me! I think that you’re tired of living!”
Blazing Fire was already very displeased with Ye Yuan in the first place. Now that the top slaughter generals under his command all died inside the Dragon Sovereign Territory, he became even more enraged.
