The golden light was like rain or mist, sprinkling down from the sky, silently fusing into the towering golden mountain.
The mountain was like a mountain made of gold, there were no trees, flowers, birds or beasts on it. There were only all sorts of strangely shaped hard golden rocks.
Yang Jiutian wore a mighty golden armor, climbing up the mountain with large strides. Around him, there were 7 other Type 9 powerhouses, all decked in heavy golden armor.
Their armors were slightly different, but they all had a dark red three-legged golden crow pattern on their chest.
The Great Sun Golden Crow was the divine weapon of the Yang Country, and the most important totem of the country. The three-legged golden crow represented an illustrious status in the Yang Country. Only the direct bloodline of the royal family and the strongest powerhouses had the right to use the symbol.
Although Yang Jiutian was a prince, his status was the lowest in the group, and his martial arts was the weakest. To protect him, they let him stay in the middle.
"The metal elemental energy here is so thick!" Yang Jiutian exclaimed.
The surrounding energy was too thick, like sharp needles, it had already pierced through the rank 9 armor, and into Yang Jiutian's flesh. With his rank 8 cultivation, he could not hold on much longer.
"It's fine, just activate the Golden Crow Armor to protect yourself."
Yang Kangtian said as he patted his cousin's shoulder, and a thick wave of energy passed over, activating the internal formation of the Golden Crow Armor.
"Thank you, third brother." Yang Jiutian thanked respectfully.
Although he and Yang Kangtian were cousins, there was a 200 year age gap, and the difference in cultivation was like heaven and earth. Yang Kangtian was also the head of the Golden Crow, and commanded many rank 9 powerhouses of the Yang Country. Although he was the beloved son of the Emperor, he did not dare to be rude.
"This secret domain is indeed extraordinary, if you could cultivate here for a few days, it would be beneficial to you." Yang Kangtian said with some pity.
The metal elemental energy was sharp, and cultivating in it could easily harm the body. But on the other hand, this kind of cultivation was a kind of tempering for the body and martial spirit.
Yang Jiutian was talented enough, and had all sorts of resources, so he could not enter the rank 9 realm, because he lacked the tempering.
Normally, rank 9 powerhouses would need to cultivate for decades, or even centuries. At Yang Jiutian's age, if he waited another thirty or fifty years to step into the ninth level, he would be considered overflowing with talent.
However, Gao Zhengyang's sudden appearance made the world realize that a Tier Nine powerhouse could also be achieved quickly. Those who slowly and painstakingly became Type 9 powerhouses were just too lacking in talent.
The young experts of this generation were overshadowed by Gao Zhengyang's dazzling brilliance.
Unknowingly, people's expectations of geniuses had also increased a lot. Yang Jiutian's cultivation was too low in the eyes of most people.
Yang Jiutian also understood this logic. Only by entering the Ninth Level could he stand out among the many princes. He clenched his teeth and said, "Third brother, I am willing to cultivate here."
"Forget it. The metal-elemental vital energy here surged and overflowed in all directions, making it extremely unstable. Once the Yuan Qi erupts, you will not be able to withstand it. "
Yang Kangtian shook his head: "Let's hurry up and take the needle, and hand it over to Gao Zhengyang as soon as possible. The rest is none of our business. "
"What does Gao Zhengyang mean by this? Does he really think he's the retired emperor of the seven nations? He actually wants us to help him get something? “
Yang Jiutian could not help but grumble. He actually did not understand why his father would agree to help Gao Zhengyang. To him, this was simply a form of flattery. It was too shameful.
"Gao Zhengyang's thoughts are deep and unfathomable. No one can guess what he wants to do."
Yang Kangtian also felt helpless. Gao Zhengyang was rampaging and disregarding all rules. He had turned the stable situation of the seven nations into a pot of porridge. No one could guess what he was thinking. At this stage, they could only try to be on good terms with him.
Since Gao Zhengyang had asked for help, not only did the other nations not dare to refuse, they had to do their best to complete the task.
The situation here was complicated and changeable. No one dared to make a rash decision. Fire Nation had already collapsed. The other six emperors wanted to seek stability. At the very least, they wanted to devour and digest Fire Nation's power first.
Yang Jiutian was very likely to become the next emperor. To improve their relationship, Yang Kangtian patiently explained the reason to his cousin.
Golden Mountain was not too high. As the two spoke, they had already reached the peak.
A long golden rod was inserted straight into the top of the mountain.
The endless Metal Elemental Qi in the secret realm disappeared at the top of the mountain.
Yang Kangtian circled around the rod twice. His expression became more and more solemn. "This should be the deposit needle."
The other Type 9 powerhouses also had solemn expressions. The stronger one was, the more they could feel the power of the deposit needle.
Once the deposit needle was pulled out, the vast metal elemental energy below would explode. Even a Type 9 powerhouse would not be able to withstand the impact of the energy.
The few Type 9 powerhouses discussed for a while and decided to let Yang Jiutian retreat far away. Two Type 9 powerhouses who were proficient in external techniques surrounded Yang Jiutian, their four hands holding onto the golden rod.
The faces of the two Type 9 powerhouses turned red. Their energy exploded within their bodies. But no matter how much energy they used, the golden rod did not budge.
Yang Kangtian saw that it was no good. He gathered the other five and used the Golden Crow Formation to gather all the energy.
The formation gathered the energy and quickly formed a three-legged Golden Crow avatar. The Golden Crow Formation was based on metal elemental energy. Here, the metal elemental energy was dense, allowing everyone to use their energy.
Seven Type 9 powerhouses used the formation. The power they displayed was not simply superimposed, but complemented each other. It was even stronger than the combined power of ten Type 9 powerhouses. The most amazing thing was that the energy was converted into pure energy through the bodies of the two powerhouses.
Although the Golden Rod was heavy, it could not withstand the combined power of so many peak powerhouses. The golden rod slowly swayed and was pulled out inch by inch.
Below the rod, the metal elemental energy turned into golden light and shot out.
The golden light became brighter and brighter. Not long later, it erupted like a volcano. The golden light shot up to the sky. Within it, there were billions of golden stars formed from metal elemental energy.
Yang Kangtian and the rest could only watch helplessly. Because the metal elemental energy was too dense and violent. They had to stay far away to avoid being assimilated by the energy.
As the metal elemental energy spread out, Yang Kangtian and the rest could not stay any longer. They brought Yang Jiutian and hurriedly left the secret realm.
Not long after they left the secret realm, they heard a loud bang. The secret realm space shattered and the ground caved in, forming a huge pit. The metal-elemental vital energy in the secret realm was dispersed into the endless void through the spatial passageway.
"What a pity. If this secret realm could be preserved, it could nurture many powerful Divine Soldier."
Yang Kangtian sighed. He caressed the Golden Rod and could not help but say, "Extremely strong, and able to suppress metal elemental energy. It's truly a Divine Soldier!"
"Then we'll say we didn't find it and not give it to Gao Zhengyang." Yang Jiutian's eyes lit up.
"Haha, although the Divine Soldier is good, we can't lose the big picture for the small."
Yang Kangtian said helplessly, "Gao Zhengyang dared to ask us for help. Isn't he afraid that we'll swallow it?"
