Through the Death Envoy's explanation, Long Yu quickly understood what a Divine Rune Crystal was.
In the great world outside of Shen Wu world, which is what the people of this world call 'Beyond Heaven', all races naturally have their own buildings.
But buildings made from normal materials can't withstand the attacks of a martial artist. Some terrifying existences can easily turn an entire city into ash with a single wave of their hand.
Of course, there are various kinds of materials in the great world that can withstand the attacks of a martial artist. But these materials are extremely precious, so they're usually used to craft weapons, so it's impossible to have a large amount of them to make buildings.
Under these circumstances, to make buildings sturdier, Divine Rune Crystals were used.
As long as you use normal materials to build a building, then add a few Divine Rune Crystals into the building, the structure of the building will become extremely sturdy. Aside from that, there's another benefit, which is that the cultivator inside the building can cultivate faster.
As for how fast the cultivator's cultivation speed is increased, that's directly related to the cultivator's Divine Rune attribute, as well as the quality and quantity of Divine Rune Crystals.
Using Divine Rune Crystals to build buildings is very normal in the Beyond Heaven world, and it's also very common for the beasts from beyond.
But in Shen Wu world, such a method doesn't exist.
In order to prevent martial artists from destroying the buildings, the majority of Shen Wu world's buildings have formations set up around them, which can be used to defend against attacks.
But such formations require a lot of energy, so it's far less troublesome compared to using Divine Rune Crystals to build buildings. Not only are the buildings of the Beyond Heaven world extremely sturdy, but they also have the ability to defend for a long period of time.
Divine Rune Crystals can automatically absorb the drifting energy in the air, convert it into Divine Rune power, then use it to strengthen the entire building — — - that way, a martial artist doesn't need to spend any effort on building.
"The Dragon Skeleton Tower is a super weapon made from Divine Rune Crystals"
The Death Envoy's voice continued to be heard by Long Yu: "This weapon was used by the Jiuyou Dragon Emperor himself to deal with the other races. In its complete form, it should be an Archaic top-tier weapon, much stronger than it is now"
"So you're saying that as long as I have enough Divine Rune Crystals, I can repair the Dragon Skeleton Tower and turn it into an Archaic weapon?"
Long Yu's eyes immediately lit up.
The Archaic Realm was a realm even more powerful than the Archaic Realm. Just like the Death Realm Body Refining Technique that Long Yu cultivated, as a high-grade Archaic Realm Martial Skill, could allow Long Yu to withstand the final counterattack of an expert five realms higher than him without dying. From this, one could see just how terrifying its effects were.
One could imagine how terrifyingly powerful Long Yu's strength would be if he could obtain an Archaean Combat Weapon!
"That's right, but you'll need a massive amount of divine rune crystals to repair the Ancient Dragon Skeleton Tower. You'll also need to convert the attributes of the divine rune crystals. Of course, I'll tell you the conversion method. It shouldn't be difficult, but you'll need to spend a lot of time …"
Just as the Death Envoy was speaking, a wave of wood-attributed divine runes swept past the two of them. The Death Envoy immediately stopped talking and became vigilant. "What's going on?
"Be careful, I fear we've been discovered. We need to act now – I will steal the divine runic crystals for you and you will find the wood-attribute divine runic source for me and bring it away. How about it?"
The Death Envoy's solemn voice sounded.
"I'll leave as soon as I get it. Senior, please help me stall all the pursuers."
Long Yu said with narrowed eyes.
There might be Emperor-level exotic beasts in the Wood God Clan's fortress, so Long Yu didn't dare to act rashly. Even if he were to help the Death Envoy now, he had to be extra careful. He didn't want to fall into any situation that could lead to his own death.
"No problem. As long as you get it, leave immediately. I'll be responsible for covering you."
After saying that, the Death Envoy flew toward the center of the Wood God Clan's fortress. The huge Ancient Death Palace directly fell from the sky and crashed into the Wood God Clan's fortress!
The entire fortress of the Wood God Race began to shake violently, and countless withered branches and strange beasts began to move, gathering towards the Death Messenger.
This Wood God Clan's fortress was the exotic beast nest that the cracked tooth squad discovered. It was several times larger than the Ancient Death Palace. There were at least tens of thousands of Wood God Clan's exotic beasts. Just the King Road Secret Territory alone probably had over a hundred of them.
Long Yu knew that he couldn't stay in such a place for long. When the Death Envoy launched his attack and created chaos, he stealthily moved toward the center of the Wood God Clan's fortress.
According to the Death Envoy's explanation, Long Yu knew that the wood-attribute divine runic source of the Wood God Clan's fortress was placed in the center of the fortress.
Countless withered exotic beasts rushed past Long Yu and attacked the Death Envoy. The Death Envoy dodged most of the attacks and led all the exotic beasts upward.
A terrifying aura of exotic beasts erupted from the depths of the fortress and collided with the Death Envoy. It seemed like the leader of the entire Wood God Clan's fortress was mobilized.
Long Yu didn't think too much about it. Instead, he activated Divine Concealment and quickly flew toward the center of the fortress.
The interior of the Wood God Clan's fortress was like a maze of countless withered vines. However, this maze was actually interconnected. As Long Yu moved forward, he soon arrived at the center of the fortress.
"How do I get out after I succeed?"
Long Yu kept thinking about this question. However, he didn't have time to think about it – if he didn't want the Death Envoy to turn to ashes and leave, he had to seize the wood-attribute divine runic source as soon as possible and then leave so that the Death Envoy could escape.
With the Death Envoy's abilities, it shouldn't be a problem for him to delay an Emperor realm exotic beast powerhouse. As long as Long Yu was fast enough …
"It's there!"
Long Yu immediately saw the wood-attribute divine runic source at the center of the fortress. This complete divine runic source was an extremely important resource to the Wood God Clan. It was wrapped in countless vines and there were also several King Path Mystic Realm exotic beasts guarding it.
Long Yu casually glanced over there. He knew that he had no chance of escaping unless he could draw away all of the King Path Mystic Realm exotic beasts.
At this time, the entire Wood God Clan's fortress shook once more. The Ancient Death Temple slammed into the Wood God Clan's fortress once more, directly smashing a large hole in it!
Above Long Yu's head, a massive number of withered vines were destroyed by the power of the divine runic source, turning into dust.
"There's a way out … go!"
Long Yu didn't hesitate. Since there was a way out from above, there was no need for him to hesitate.
While the strange beasts from the King Road Secret Realm were hesitantly staring at the Ancient Palace of Death, unsure of whether they should protect the divine rune source or fly up to help deal with the Ancient Palace of Death, Long Yu charged forward with the Nether Void Dragon Blade in his hand. In an instant, he arrived in front of the Divine Rune Source Stone that was entangled by countless withered vines.
The divine runic source stone was the Divine Runic Source Stone. Similar to the Asura Divine Runic Source Stone that Long Yu had, it was an Source Stone obtained from the Divine Runic Source Stone of the Great World. It was the strongest form of Divine Runic power.
The Divine Runic Source Stone, to any martial cultivator of the Shen Wu world, was an invaluable treasure, a priceless treasure!
The ancient top-ranked combat weapon, the Nether Void Dragon Blade. Long Yu already knew how sharp it was. It was nearly invincible, capable of piercing through any defense he saw.
But now, as he stabbed the Nether Void Dragon Blade at the withered vines, he was met with a terrifying defensive power. A Wood Element barrier was formed by the withered vines, firmly blocking the Nether Void Dragon Blade.
"The power of the Divine Runic Crystal!"
Long Yu instantly understood what kind of power was blocking him. Reacting quickly, he unleashed the Nine Nether Heavenly Light, using the power of the Nine Nether Divine Runic Source Stone to turn the surroundings into a world of darkness!
Almost at the same time that Long Yu attacked the Divine Runic Source Stone, the several exotic beasts from the King Path Mystic Realm reacted at the same time, wanting to kill Long Yu. Unfortunately, the Nine Nether Heavenly Light instantly spread out, completely blocking the vision of these exotic beasts, making it impossible for them to find Long Yu.
Rumble!
A terrifying sound once again came from the sky above. From the Ancient Death Palace, a Death Ray came crashing down, piercing through Long Yu's Nine Nether Heavenly Light, and piercing through the crystal barrier that covered the Divine Runic Source Stone.
"Got it!"
Long Yu seized the opportunity, reached out his hand, and snatched the Wood Element Divine Runic Source Stone, then flew up into the sky.
He didn't expect the Death Envoy to help him break through the barrier of the Divine Runic Source Stone while fighting the Emperor Realm exotic beasts. It was surprising, but it was a good thing for him.
In the center of the Wood God Clan's fortress, the pitch-black power of the Nine Nether Divine Runic Source Stone was dispelled by the exotic beasts from the King Path Mystic Realm, but the Divine Runic Source Stone was nowhere to be found.
… …
At his fastest speed, Long Yu escaped from the Wood God Clan's fortress through the gap in the Ancient Death Palace, and fled in the direction he came from.
Of course, the Emperor Realm experts could see through his invisibility, but the beast was held up by the Death Envoy and couldn't get away. In the end, it could only watch as Long Yu went further and further away.
It wasn't until Long Yu was more than ten miles away that he saw the four members of the Cracked Tooth Squad again.
"There's a big mess. There's an Emperor Realm exotic beast in the lair, so I ran away immediately. Fortunately, there's an unknown powerful existence that seems to be fighting the Emperor Realm exotic beast, so I was able to escape."
Long Yu said to everyone as soon as he saw them.
"Really?"
Hearing Long Yu's words, the captain Gu Wenshan's expression changed slightly, and then he was overjoyed. "The Tian Rui Squad ran over there just now. It looks like they're in trouble now."
"Hmph, those guys called us cowards. In my opinion, they're the idiots!"
Qiao Ziying said hatefully.
"The Tian Rui Squad really went over there?"
Long Yu was a little surprised to hear that. The Tian Rui Squad was quite capable. They clearly saw the battle in the Wood God Clan's fortress in the distance, but they still dared to approach it.
Wealth comes from danger. This saying was true, but against the Emperor Realm exotic beast and the Death Envoy, the Tian Rui Squad was simply courting death!
