There were a total of fifty-six people participating in the extermination of the exotic beasts' nest.
However, in the process of fighting the Earth God exotic beasts, several of them had already lost their lives. Another dozen or so had died to the statues and traps when they were forced to explore the magnificent palace.
About a day later, Long Yu finally rescued everyone who was still alive. Including Long Yu and Ye Ziwei, there were only forty-one people left. Su Chen and Tan Xiuya, the two Two-Star Emperor level cabinet elders of the Alliance of Five Emperors, were still alive.
Everyone was placed in the central hall, and they were protected by over a thousand Seven Star Imperial Monarch level statues. Everyone was extremely grateful to Long Yu.
Honestly speaking, they all thought they were dead for sure, but they didn't expect to bring Long Yu with them on this trip. It was Long Yu's fortuitous encounter that gave them hope of survival!
"Everyone, please rest here. I'll search deeper into the palace to see if there are any teleportation arrays or spatial tunnels that can leave this place," Long Yu said to everyone.
After Long Yu finished speaking to everyone, he walked towards the back of the central palace alone.
The thousands of Seven Star Emperor level statues were left here to protect the remaining forty people, as well as to restrict their movements. Long Yu didn't want anyone to disturb him when he was searching for the sacred relic.
Although he had saved these people, no one knew what they were thinking. After all, the human heart was unpredictable!
Naturally, Long Yu wouldn't bring anyone with him when he went to search for the Earth God's sacred relic.
The only thing that puzzled Long Yu was that Ye Ziwei still hadn't woken up. He wondered if something had happened to her …
However, Long Yu was sure that he had healed all her injuries. As for why she hadn't woken up yet, Long Yu didn't know.
After leaving the central palace, Long Yu went straight to the back of the magnificent palace and the throne room.
The structure of the magnificent palace wasn't complicated. After the central palace, there was a back hall. There were many precious treasures in the back hall. There were Ancient and Archaean Combat Weapons, martial skills, pills, and everything else. These were originally prepared by the Jiuyou Dragon Emperor for himself. Now, they all belonged to Long Yu.
After entering the back hall, Long Yu looted everything. Unfortunately, not many of these treasures were useful to Long Yu.
There was no need for martial skills and combat weapons. Ancient and Archaean Combat Weapons weren't good, but Long Yu didn't need them. Especially since the back hall only stored low-grade, medium-grade, and high-grade weapons. There weren't any supreme-grade or supreme-grade weapons.
There were quite a few pills here that were very useful to Long Yu. Unfortunately, more than half of the pills had lost their effects due to the passage of time. As for the remaining pills, Long Yu did not dare to casually consume them.
"Now that the Death Envoy isn't here, who should I look for to identify these pills?"
Long Yu was quite troubled. Before knowing the effects of these pills, he certainly didn't dare to use them casually. If something went wrong after taking them, it wouldn't be worth it.
No matter how he thought about it, Long Yu couldn't think of anyone to identify these pills. In the end, he had to give up.
"I'm afraid I'll only have a chance to find out what these pills are when I go beyond the sky …"
Long Yu felt a little regretful about this.
Of course, these treasures in the back hall weren't very useful to Long Yu. However, if he brought these treasures to the people of the Northern Snow Empire and the Heavenly Mandate Manor, their effects would be completely different.
These things could at least increase the overall strength of Long Yu's friends by at least ten times!
In the back hall, there were also 100 statues of creatures at the level of the Seven Star Emperor. Under the command of Long Yu, these statues guarded the back hall loyally and didn't let anyone pass.
After collecting all the things in the back hall, Long Yu continued to walk toward the back hall. Behind the back hall was the most important place in the entire magnificent palace — the Treasure Hall!
If Long Yu's guess was right, the sacred relic of the Earth God Clan was hidden in this Treasure Hall.
With the existence of the Mark of the Nine Serenities in Long Yu's body, he was equivalent to the master of the entire magnificent palace. He could do whatever he wanted and control everything in it.
It didn't take long for Long Yu to walk from the back hall to the Treasure Hall. During this time, he sensed that there were several fierce attacks from the beasts of the Earth God Clan at the 75 entrances of the magnificent palace. However, it was obvious that the beasts of the Earth God Clan couldn't break through this magnificent palace.
After only two days in this magnificent palace, Long Yu stepped into the Treasure Hall at the back. He saw a dazzling yellow hexagonal crystal floating on a stone platform in the center of the entire Treasure Hall.
There was no light at all in other places in the magnificent palace. However, in the Treasure Hall, the dazzling yellow hexagonal crystal in the center was shining like a small sun.
"This hexagonal crystal is the sacred relic of the Earth God Clan?"
Long Yu suppressed the excitement in his heart. He could feel that the earthen yellow hexagonal crystal contained an endless amount of power!
Long Yu sensed that the power of all the beasts of the Earth God Clan seemed to originate from this hexagonal crystal. It contained the power of six powerful Divine Characters. One of them was the Desolation Divine Character, another was the Earth Elemental Divine Character, and the other four Divine Characters that Long Yu had sensed from other beasts of the Earth God Clan.
"The reason why this thing is said to be the sacred relic of the Earth God Clan is because all the power of the beasts of the Earth God Clan originates from this thing?"
Long Yu guessed as he slowly walked towards the center of the Treasure Hall. He gradually approached the hexagonal crystal. Even though the hexagonal crystal emitted a dazzling light, it couldn't stop Long Yu's footsteps.
In next to no time, Long Yu raised his hand and held the hexagonal crystal in his hand!
There was no danger. The hexagonal crystal was cold all over. After Long Yu held it, the dazzling yellow light was immediately covered.
"Although I don't know what use this thing has for me, since the Jiuyou Dragon Emperor values it so much, I'll keep it first and study it later …"
Long Yu thought to himself. At this moment, a loud explosion came from the direction of the central hall of the magnificent palace!
This explosion caused Long Yu to be startled. After keeping the Hexagonal Crystal Stone, he immediately turned around and flew away.
…
Just as Long Yu expected, the appearance of the sacred relic of the Earth God Clan made the beasts of the Earth God Clan unable to sit still.
The beasts of the Earth God Clan who were at the level of the Seven Star Emperor arrived at the Realm of Hades from god knows how far away. Then, they passed through the Space Tunnel and arrived at the underground space where the magnificent palace was located.
These beasts of the Earth God Clan weren't stupid. In fact, they were very smart. They only spent a day to investigate the situation of the seventy-five entrances. After sacrificing countless cannon fodder, they broke through the seventy-five entrances and destroyed all the traps and mechanisms. They also blasted the weaker statue creatures into pieces.
Just as Long Yu picked up the sacred relic of the Earth God Clan, a group of three to four hundred beasts of the Seven Star Emperor level from the Earth God Clan rushed into the central hall where Ju Tian, Su Chen, Tan Xiuya, and the others were!
Ju Tian, Su Chen, and Tan Xiuya didn't dare to make a move at this moment. They could only lead the people of the Alliance of Five Emperors and retreat, leaving the thousands of statue creatures in the central hall to deal with the beasts of the Earth God Clan.
When the three to four hundred beasts of the Seven Star Emperor level from the Earth God Clan rushed in, a hundred statue creatures were still protecting Ye Ziwei. Another hundred statue creatures were protecting the other forty people. The remaining eight hundred statue creatures went forward to stop the beasts of the Earth God Clan.
Even though the Jiuyou Dragon Emperor had left many backup plans for himself, he still underestimated the importance the Earth God Clan placed on their sacred relic.
Over three hundred beasts of the Seven Star Emperor level from the Earth God Clan was a huge number to the entire Earth God Clan. One had to know that the next step for the Seven Star Emperor was the Ruler's Secret Realm, where a small world would be born in his body!
With so many beasts of the Seven Star Emperor level from the Earth God Clan, it was definitely a terrifying force. The Earth God Clan had actually sent them out within a day, and they had broken into this magnificent palace.
In the central hall, the statue creatures and the beasts of the Earth God Clan were completely locked in battle. Even in such a high-level battle, the surrounding walls of the magnificent palace didn't show any signs of being damaged. It was obvious how sturdy the materials used to build the palace were.
A terrifying force exploded in the central hall, causing Su Chen, Ju Tian, Tan Xiuya, and the others to tremble in fear.
They had never seen a battle of this level before.
If a single wisp of the force were to spread and affect them, they would all be turned into ashes in an instant! If it weren't for the hundred statue creatures protecting them, they would have died a few hundred times over.
At this moment, they were all thinking about the same thing. Where was Long Yu now?
If Long Yu still didn't appear and more beasts from the Earth God Clan arrived, the statue creatures wouldn't be able to stop them at all. By then, they would all be finished.
"I wonder what's in this palace that attracted so many beasts. I've never seen so many beasts of the Emperor level. Furthermore, they're all at the peak of the Emperor level …"
Ju Tian murmured as he watched the battle unfold before him in great shock.
"I hope Long Yu isn't in any danger and that he can find the exit as soon as possible."
Tan Xiuya said in a deep voice, "This place is probably very important to the Earth God Clan. No matter what they want from this place, it's not something we can participate in."
"That's right. Although such an unprecedented battle is spectacular, it's better for us to stay far away."
Su Chen, the Spirit Array Grandmaster, also nodded.
