Vice Palace Master Xiao, Ling Zhiping, Chess Soul Lord, the Azure Water Sword Sect's white-robed Sect Master, and the middle-aged enforcer elder were all glaring at Long Yu.
Even Linghu Qianyan, Sha Yuantian, and the three female Palace Masters of the Glaze Moon Palace looked like they were about to explode at any moment.
Unlike the Nine Heaven Star Palace and the Azure Water Sword Sect, Linghu Qianyan, Sha Yuantian, and the female Palace Master of the Glaze Moon Palace didn't want Long Yu's life. They were nervous because they didn't want the Dragon Skeleton Ancient Tower to fall into the hands of Ling Zhiping and the others.
"Long Yu, trust me and give me the dragon scale!"
Linghu Qianyan said with a serious expression, "I will ensure your safety and find a way to help you take revenge for Senior Wang!"
However, Long Yu couldn't hear what he said. Or rather, even if Long Yu heard it, he wouldn't give him the Dragon Scale of the Nine Underworld.
At this moment, Long Yu had already activated the true spirit of the Dragon of Nine Underworld that had been dormant in his dantian for a long time!
A wave of Netherworld Qi slowly spread out from his body, causing him to seem as if he was enveloped in a layer of faint black mist.
In Long Yu's dantian, the true spirit of the Dragon of Nine Underworld seemed to have finally awakened and raised its primordial and arrogant head!
Seeing this scene, Vice Palace Master Xiao, Ling Zhiping, and the others felt their hearts tighten. They knew that the battle for the dragon scale was about to begin!
"Ha!"
The first to make a move was actually the inconspicuous little old man, Chess Soul Lord. With a shout, several chess pieces flew towards Long Yu!
"Don't even think about it!"
Upon seeing this, Vice Palace Master Xiao directly raised his hand, causing the Nine Heavens Starlight to erupt, and with a loud rumble, it swept towards those chess pieces. At the same time, Ling Zhiping rushed towards Long Yu's location at the fastest speed, and in the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of Long Yu.
It was also at this moment that a pitch-black True Dragon True Spirit suddenly emerged from Long Yu's back. It was accompanied by a burst of extremely violent Netherworld Qi that exploded forth!
Even though Ling Zhiping was a Heavenly Tribulation Realm expert, he was still shocked by the Netherworld Aura at this moment. This was the most direct effect of the Dragon of the Netherworld's true spirit.
The release of the Dragon of the Ninth Hell's true spirit was capable of deterring everyone in the surroundings every single time, and the only difference was how long it lasted.
Facing this group of Heavenly Tribulation Realm experts, he definitely wouldn't be intimidated for too long. In fact, he might only be intimidated for a short instant. It was just like when he had released the Dragon of the Nine Underworlds' True Spirit to intimidate Ye Lun in the Great Tang Empire's Martial Arena.
But even if it was only for a moment, it was enough for Long Yu to do something.
"Go!"
Long Yu had no intention of fighting the Heavenly Tribulation Realm powerhouses head-on. Instead, he took advantage of the fact that everyone was stunned by the Dragon of the Nine Underworld's true spirit to flee into the distance.
Dragon Sparrow Instant Void!
At his fastest speed, Long Yu flew to the nearest staircase that led to the second floor. At the same time, the Dragon of the Nine Underworlds' true spirit followed behind him like an ancient dragon.
In Long Yu's mind, a consciousness that seemed to come from the primordial era gradually invaded his mind.
With Long Yu's escape, Ling Zhiping, Vice Palace Master Xiao, and the others quickly returned to normal. The moment they opened their eyes, they saw Long Yu fleeing in a puff of smoke.
Each of them broke out in a cold sweat. They didn't know how they had been stunned, but at this moment, catching up to Long Yu was clearly their top priority.
Ling Zhiping took the lead. His body emitted the starlight of the Nine Heavens as he rapidly chased after Long Yu like a meteor.
Vice Palace Master Xiao, Chess Soul Lord, and the Azure Water Sword Sect's Sect Master followed closely behind.
"Let's go!"
At this moment, Long Yu took a step onto the staircase that led to the second floor of the Dragon Bone Pagoda. This staircase became an unbreakable obstacle between him and Ling Zhiping!
Following closely behind Long Yu, Ling Zhiping activated the Nine Heavens Starlight and arrived with a loud rumble. However, a layer of faint Nine Nether Light Screen appeared at the entrance of the staircase, easily blocking the Nine Heavens Star Palace.
"He escaped!"
Ling Zhiping's expression darkened.
Vice Palace Master Xiao and the others followed closely behind. Each of them used all their means in an attempt to blast open the faint Nine Underworlds light screen at the staircase. However, their efforts were in vain.
The Dragon Bone Pagoda only opened once every seven years. Apart from that, only those who controlled the Dragon Bone Pagoda could open the passageway to the second floor.
It was impossible for Ling Zhiping and the others to forcefully open the Nine Underworlds light screen at the staircase with their Heavenly Tribulation Realm means.
This Dragon Bone Pagoda was a powerful combat weapon used by the Dragon of the Nine Underworlds in the past!
The entire Dragon Bone Pagoda could even withstand the attacks of the beasts in the mystical realm, let alone Heavenly Tribulation Realm cultivators like Ling Zhiping. It was completely wishful thinking for them to break through the Nine Underworlds light screen at the staircase.
"Damn it."
A group of Heavenly Tribulation Realm experts arrived at the staircase leading to the second floor of the Dragon Bone Pagoda, but they couldn't break through the thin Nine Underworlds light screen. They immediately cursed.
This time, they were in a dilemma.
Want to catch up to Long Yu?
They couldn't break through the Nine Underworlds light screen at the staircase!
Want to leave the Dragon Bone Pagoda?
Without Long Yu activating the Dragon Bone Pagoda to suppress the beasts in the mystical realm, they would definitely die if they left. Furthermore, there were still two withered beasts in the mystical realm outside!
It had only been slightly more than two years since the Dragon Bone Pagoda opened automatically. Were they going to wait here for close to five years?
Five years wasn't a long time, but it wasn't short either.
Especially when the beast tide was erupting — how would the entire Heavenly Mandate Continent outside of the Dragon Bone Pagoda be ravaged by the beasts after five years?
"Don't worry."
Ling Zhiping said with a solemn expression, "This kid has many friends and family in the Heavenly Mandate Continent. He can't just watch as the Heavenly Mandate Continent is destroyed by the beasts. Once he thinks it through, he'll definitely come down to beg us."
"That's right. I suggest that we don't get separated. Just gather together and wait for him to come down."
The white-haired Deputy Palace Lord Xiao said hatefully.
"What a great plan."
Sha Yuantian, the City Lord of Sand City, mocked, "Are you satisfied now? By the time you get out of here, the entire Nine Heavenly Star Palace, Azure Water Sword Sect, and Chess Soul Valley will probably be in ruins. Beasts will be rampaging everywhere. Haha, I'm really looking forward to seeing that! "
"Who would have thought that this kid would be able to unleash such a strange true spirit and intimidate us?"
Deputy Palace Lord Xiao's face turned pale. He shuddered at the thought of that scene, but he still quibbled, "Moreover, didn't you tacitly agree with what we did and try to snatch the dragon scale?"
"You can say whatever you want, but this matter was completely caused by you."
Sha Yuantian snorted coldly, "I can't be bothered to touch you for now, but if you stay here for too long, Yellow Sand City will definitely fall into the hands of the beasts … When that happens, I'll definitely cut off your head."
This blatant threat made Deputy Palace Lord Xiao's face turn even paler. Fortunately, Ling Zhiping was beside him and patted him on the shoulder, calming him down a little.
…
While the many Heavenly Tribulation Realm cultivators were still arguing, Long Yu, who had run to the second level of the Dragon Bone Pagoda, was currently facing an abyss of suffering.
The primordial consciousness in his mind was actually trying to seize control of his body!
"Sure enough, it wants to seize my body …"
Long Yu's willpower was extremely strong. He gritted his teeth and the veins all over his body bulged. He began to roll on the stairs, clearly enduring indescribable pain.
Waves of heart-wrenching pain appeared in his mind. Even someone as strong-willed as Long Yu might not be able to hold on at any moment.
That unparalleled primordial consciousness had already occupied most of Long Yu's mind, causing Long Yu's mind to become a little muddled. The true spirit of the Dragon of Nine Underworlds that he had released floated above his head, appearing extremely strange.
"Ah —"
Long Yu roared furiously, but he was completely unable to stop the primordial consciousness from entering the depths of his mind.
"This primordial consciousness most likely came from the Dragon Seal of the Nine Underworlds. If that's the case …"
Long Yu was unable to resist the primordial consciousness, so he thought of the source of everything — the Dragon Seal of the Nine Underworlds in his chest!
There was a crazed look in his eyes as he casually took out a bayonet from the space within the Dragon Seal of the Nine Underworlds. With great difficulty, he seized control of his hands and began to cut open the skin on his chest!
As if sensing Long Yu's crazed actions, the primordial consciousness that had invaded his mind tried to take control of his hands. However, Long Yu desperately resisted.
No matter what, he could not allow the primordial consciousness to seize control of his body. Otherwise, even if "Long Yu" could still live, he would no longer be the same person as before!
"Get out of my way!"
The veins all over Long Yu's body bulged and his eyes bulged. His extremely firm willpower allowed him to control his right hand to grip the sharp bayonet and pierce it directly into the skin on his chest!
However, a burst of Nightmare Thunder flashed and blocked the bayonet in his hand.
The primordial consciousness had already taken control of the Nightmare Thunder nomological power in his body, making it impossible for him to harm himself with a mere bayonet!
Long Yu's consciousness became increasingly blurred.
However, his hands became more and more agile. At the same time, Long Yu's consciousness firmly regained control of the Nightmare Thunder nomological power in his body. At this moment, there was a stabbing pain in his head that almost caused him to completely faint.
However, he knew that once he fainted, he would never wake up again.
He forcefully endured the splitting pain in his head and once again controlled his hands to cut open the Dragon Seal of the Nine Underworlds on his chest. This time, he controlled the Nightmare Thunder nomological power so that it did not appear. Finally, the bayonet pierced his chest, right at the edge of the Dragon Seal of the Nine Underworlds.
Blood gradually flowed down along the bayonet!
Without any hesitation, Long Yu steeled his heart and cut down with the bayonet. Immediately, blood gushed out. However, the Dragon Seal of the Nine Underworlds that had accompanied him for so long was finally cut open.
