"It's fine!"
Su Yin was not too bothered by it.
Even if the crown prince was on par with the Yellow Spring, he could still put up a fight!
Besides, there were still six elders in the Qi Pearl. If he killed them at the crucial moment, the energy released would be enough for Dahei, Xiao Wu, Bliss, and the True Dragon Sword to reach the Sector Lord Realm at the same time.
Once they succeeded, with the help of the Qi Pearl, the six Sector Lords and Cang Qiong would have to back off.
However, even with his trump card, Su Yin was still in hiding. He was not in a hurry to show himself.
The Beast Court was Crown Prince Xiao Shi's nest. No one knew if he had other backup plans. Besides, no one knew if the Dragon Emperor, the Great Beast King, had woken up or not. It was better to let others take the lead and fish in troubled waters.
The Human Emperor Tree turned back into the Taichi Diagram, concealing its aura tightly. Meanwhile, it was hiding in a crack in the void that even the Spiritual Perception could not detect.
"Mm?"
After doing this, Su Yin's heart skipped a beat, and he smiled.
Just a moment ago, he had sensed Song Yu's Great Dao nearby!
In other words … the Battle Sage and Martial Sage were hiding in front of him too.
It seemed like the two of them had the same idea as him. They were hiding and observing the situation. They would make a move when there were benefits, and play dead when there were none.
Without a doubt, Cang Qiong and Yellow Spring were not too far away.
They were indeed old monsters that had lived for tens of thousands of years, each more cunning than the other.
"Let's see if I have a chance to use you two as bait …"
Su Yin's eyes flickered.
The two of them had said that they would work together when they first arrived, but in the blink of an eye, they had colluded with Cang Qiong and Yellow Spring and almost killed him. If he did not teach them a lesson, how could he let it go?
He had to find a chance to make them suffer!
As he was thinking, the space before him shuddered. One after another, the experts of the Dragon Tribe flew out.
There were more than ten of them, each of them in the Realm of Rules. Some of them had even reached the peak of the Realm of Rules. Their domineering auras tore the space apart, causing turbulence.
Even the Immortal World would have a hard time taking out so many experts in the Realm of Rules. Any faction could easily suppress the Heavens.
"Greetings, Crown Prince!"
Many of the elders were so excited that their eyes turned red.
If not for this person who brought them here, they would only be at the third or fourth rank at the very most. How could they possibly break through the rules and possess such cultivation and strength?
"Yes!"
Looking around, Crown Prince Xiao frowned. "Where's Ao Feng? Where are the First Elder, Second Elder, and the others? Why aren't they here?! "
Ao Feng was the name of the Dragon Emperor.
A dragon elder said, "We're not sure either … Perhaps it's because he hasn't finished refining the ancient beast's sacred remains!"
Crown Prince Xiao Shi narrowed his eyes.
The Dragon Emperor, the First Elder, the Second Elder, and the others had the purest bloodline and the highest cultivation. The caves he chose all had eighth grade World Lords' saint corpses. His goal was to make them stronger.
In the end, they were all gone! What happened?
With a flick of his finger, a drop of blood appeared. In an instant, it began to burn, turning into a pale white light.
"A bunch of trash …"
In order to prevent any accidents from happening, he had prepared a backup plan that could detect whether the Dragon Emperor and the others were dead or alive. Through the earlier calculation, he confirmed that they were all dead, with not even a trace of them remaining.
Upon realizing what was going on, the elders widened their eyes in disbelief.
That was the Dragon Emperor, who was even stronger than them … Yet, he was gone just like that?
"So what if he's dead?"
Knowing that time waited for no one, Crown Prince Xiao Shi waved his hand grandly and looked at the elders with glowing eyes. "There's no such thing as a free lunch in the world. You should know that helping you raise your strength comes with a price!"
The elders glanced at one another before bowing deeply. "We're willing to lay down our lives for Crown Prince Xiao Shi!"
"Very well!"
Crown Prince Xiao Shi nodded. "I don't need you to lay down your lives for me. I just need you to release your full cultivation and infuse it into this well."
"A well?"
The elders turned their gazes over doubtfully, and they saw a floating well behind Crown Prince Xiao Shi. It was octagonal in shape, and it bore some resemblance to the Eight Trigrams. It was impossible to tell how deep it was with just a glance.
"Alright!"
At the same time, the elders heaved a sigh of relief and rejoiced in their hearts.
They were just afraid that the other party would ask them to do something that they were unable to accomplish. As for this, the energy in their bodies came from refining the ancient beast's sacred remains, so releasing a little of it was nothing much.
"I say, let's begin!"
Crown Prince Xiao Shi nodded in satisfaction. With a flick of his wrist, a fishing rod appeared in his grasp. With a light flick of his wrist, he sent a thin line straight into the well.
The line was extremely bizarre. It was half red and half green, as if it was formed from two different types of silk. It carried a sharp aura that seemed to be able to tear through space.
Su Yin, who was hidden in the void, jolted in astonishment.
Those two fishing lines should be two complete paths, and the fishing rod should be a Law realm artifact.
With the paths of the Great Dao as the line and the laws as the rod … Just what was he trying to catch?
Not too long later, Crown Prince Xiao Shi's anxious voice sounded, "Infuse your energy!"
Not daring to hesitate, the elders of the Dragon Tribe immediately drove their cultivation to the well.
Boom!
Frenzied Celestial Energy gushed out. With so many Law realm experts making their moves simultaneously, wave after wave of energy gushed into the well.
While Law realm experts were nothing to the current Su Yin, having refined the remains of ancient beasts, these Dragon Tribe elders wielded frightening fighting prowess. At this moment, when they made their moves together and gathered their energy together, even Su Yin felt a little apprehensive.
Sometimes, quantity could make up for the difference in quality among cultivators.
It was just like how the hundreds of millions of believers in the Origin Energy Pearl gathered their energy together. Even the firmament would not dare to face them head-on.
When the energy arrived at the well, it was immediately devoured by the thin line formed by the Great Dao. Following the red line, the energy flowed into the well.
Not too long later, as if some kind of exchange had occurred, a decaying and ancient energy flowed up from the green line and entered the bodies of the elders.
Soon, the hair of these elders turned from black to gray, and then to white. At the same time, their skin began to loosen, and age spots began to grow on their faces.
"Your Highness …"
Sensing the changes in their bodies, the elders narrowed their eyes and trembled in fear.
They could clearly feel the vitality in their bodies declining.
"Continue to maintain the energy. Don't stop. Don't worry, once it's over, I'll help you recover …"
Crown Prince Xiao Shi said.
"Yes!"
It was hard to tell whether it was because they trusted the other party or because they were afraid, but even though the elders were trembling nervously, they still gritted their teeth and persevered.
The energy flowed along the red line, and the air of decay returned from the green line. It was as if a certain cycle had been completed, and it also felt as if the world was being carved.
"I understand now …"
Su Yin narrowed his eyes.
He had already felt that something was amiss.
If the Crown Prince Xiao Shi needed to fuse everyone's energy into the Ancient Beast Hall, wouldn't the energy that would be released be much greater than what the elders, the Dragon Emperor, and Zhang Xuan would receive?
But he didn't do that. He didn't even let go of the slightest bit of power. After all this fuss, what he needed wasn't power, but … vitality!
Vitality to survive in this era!
The Ancient Beast Hall had lived in the Ancient Era, and it had already disappeared along with the Five Declines of Heaven and Man. Under normal circumstances, it was no different from a corpse. It could only hide in the decaying past, unable to step into the present. If one wanted to return, one had to obtain the seal of this era.
As such, the Dragon Emperor, the elders, Cang Qiong, Zhang Xuan, and the others had become the key to obtaining this vitality.
That was why the Crown Prince Xiao Shi was willing to absorb any kind of energy.
Of course, if one's cultivation was too weak, it wouldn't be effective. That was why he brought the elders of the Dragon Tribe over and helped them assimilate the divine beast corpses. His goal was to raise their cultivation swiftly so that they would be able to release more vitality.
As for the divine beasts of the Ancient Era, even though their cultivation was high and their corpses powerful, they had also disappeared along with the flow of time. The people of the new era could use the power of the old era, but they couldn't bring the people of the old era back.
The reason why the Crown Prince Xiao Shi was able to recover was because he had slain the Yama Kings and absorbed their energy.
"This is no longer a battle of the Great Dao but a battle of eras …"
Su Yin sighed.
The battle between him and the Martial Sacred Realm and the Battle Sacred Realm was the same as the Cang Qiong and the others. However, the Dragon Emperor was more like a battle between eras instead of an individual!
Once the Dragon Emperor managed to devour enough vitality and returned to the present, the entire human race would be wiped out!
The reason being that the human race was the main focus of the current era. If the ancient era wanted to return, they would have to find a way to claim the slot.
Rumble!
As the vitality continued to pour into the well, the entire Beast Hall began to shake vigorously. Blinding rays burst out from the well, as if some powerful artifact was about to be fished out. At the same time, it also felt like a powerful expert was about to awaken.
"Crap, once the thing in the well awakens, we will surely be hunted down …" Su Yin squinted.
He finally understood why the Crown Prince Xiao Shi had waited for them to arrive and purposely led them into the Beast Hall. It was obvious that he was trying to use the vitality and strength of the experts to forcefully open the artifact and revive the Dragon Emperor.
And now, he was close to achieving his goal!
Even though he had no idea what was at the bottom of the well, judging from its aura, it was unlikely that he would be able to survive once it awakened.
He had to stop it!
Just that …
This matter was simply too dangerous. It wasn't appropriate for him to charge out and become a live target.
"Crown Prince, I can't hold on any longer …"
At this moment, an elder bellowed.
"Can't hold on any longer? Then die! "
The Crown Prince Xiao Shi's eyes gleamed as he swung his claws down.
Peng!
Before the elder could react, he was already reduced to minced meat. The powerful energy in his body flowed down along the thin thread, and in an instant, the shaking in the well intensified.
"Crown Prince …"
Seeing how the Crown Prince Xiao Shi had killed an elder, the remaining elders trembled in fear.
"Cut the crap. If you don't want to die, hurry up and make a move. If you are of no use to me, why would I need you?"
The Crown Prince Xiao Shi harrumphed coldly as he released his Dominion to seal the surroundings. Anyone who dared to escape would be met with a violent attack.
"Yes!"
The elders nodded in agreement.
It was only at this moment that they realized that in the eyes of the Crown Prince, they weren't his tribesmen but tools.
"Now's the time …"
When Su Yin saw that Crown Prince Xiao Shi and the many elders had turned against him, it was the best time to make a move. Su Yin's forehead twitched, and a strand of energy silently flew towards the place where the Martial Sages and Battle Sages were hiding.
With a light stab.
Huala!
The space where they were hiding began to tremble.
Hiding in the void was to gather one's aura together to form a round dot of light. In order to achieve this, one had to maintain a balance. Even though the energy that Su Yin released wasn't strong, it could easily break the balance.
In just an instant, the auras of the duo flowed out, unable to be concealed any longer.
"Who is it!"
Sensing the appearance of the two auras, the Crown Prince Xiao Shi's face darkened. He tore the space apart with his claws, and two figures were squeezed out of it.
They were the Martial Sage and Battle Sage.
The cultivation of the two was significantly purer than before, but they were still at the pinnacle of the eighth grade.
Clearly, the benefits that they had received were far inferior to the Crown Prince of the Dragon Tribe and Su Yin.
"Haha, I've been waiting for you. Since you're here, why don't you stay here?"
Having guessed that it was the two of them, the Crown Prince Xiao Shi wasn't surprised at all. Instead, his eyes lit up in excitement as he swept his thick tail over.
The benefits that he had received from the Hundred Beasts Palace had allowed his cultivation to surpass that of the Martial Sage and Battle Sage. With a sweep of his tail, it was as if space and time were being sliced apart by a metal plow.
"Let's have a taste of the Crown Prince's prowess once more!"
Knowing that they had been discovered and that it was impossible for them to escape, the Martial Sage and Battle Sage could only grit their teeth and charge forward.
Even at this point, they still couldn't understand how the balance of their concealment had been broken!
They were still intending to take advantage of the situation by hiding in the shadows, but now … they had become the cicadas while the mantis was eyeing them covetously.
But no matter what, they had to get through this first.
Boom!
As soon as the Martial Sage made his move, he immediately displayed his powerful cultivation. A powerful surge of energy fell from the sky, reminiscent of a falling star or a falling cloud.
Tempest Palm!
The Battle Sage didn't back down either. He executed his Battle Domain, and killing intent filled the air. Frenzied killing intent assaulted one's mind, causing one's eyes to redden.
The two of them were the strongest experts of the human race, and even the heavens had to be wary of them. One of them had a physical body while the other had a soul, one yin while the other had a yin. In an instant, they exerted strength surpassing that of a World Lord.
"Not bad!"
Narrowing his eyes, the golden scales on the Crown Prince Xiao Shi's tail flapped loudly. With a loud 'hu la', it clashed with the Tempest Palm and Battle Domain.
The Martial Sage and Battle Sage immediately felt stifled. They retreated with widened eyes, overwhelmed with shock.
"What … kind of strength is this?"
The other party's attack was completely different from before. Even with the two of them working together, they still suffered greatly.
One had to know that he hadn't even used the Coiling Dragon Pillar yet!
Once he used it, it would be even more formidable.
"Anything that can kill you is the best strength I have!"
The Crown Prince Xiao Shi snickered coldly. His other claw swept through the air, and the energy and life force released by the Martial Sage and Battle Sage were also swept into the well.
Instantly, the energy released from the well became even stronger. The entire space couldn't hold on any longer and seemed like it would collapse at any moment.
"You're devouring our life force?"
The Martial Sage also reacted, and his eyes narrowed.
The Crown Prince Xiao Shi's lips curled up. "Otherwise, why would I activate the Sky Locking Well even though I knew that you would appear here after leaving the Hundred Beast Palace?"
"Sky Locking Well?"
The Battle Sage frowned.
"You don't need to know. You just need to contribute your life force and energy!"
Boom!
The Crown Prince Xiao Shi opened his mouth, and the Coiling Dragon Pillar flew through the air.
At this moment, this pillar had also reached the World Lord Realm. It shone with a golden light, and the moment it appeared, it gave one the feeling that it could crush the void and shatter everything.
After entering the Hundred Beast Palace, not only had he successfully broken through, this treasure had also merged with the corpse of a God Beast and become much stronger.
"Green Dragon Crescent Blade!"
Knowing that it wasn't the time to hide his strength, the Martial Sage roared, and a long blade appeared. In an instant, a crescent moon appeared in the sky, and an Green Dragon flew out.
It was said that during the Ancient Era, the Nine-clawed Golden Dragon wasn't the ruler of the world, and the Four Great God Beasts weren't them. Instead, it was the Green Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise. It was just that the Green Dragon and White Tiger went extinct later on!
His strongest treasure used the Green Dragon's corpse as the foundation and merged with a crescent moon. It had also reached the World Lord Realm, and with a slash, an arc of blade light slashed down.
Peng!
When the saber and the bead collided, the space collapsed, forming a huge black hole. The Martial Saint was pushed back dozens of li by the recoil. However, Crown Prince Xiao Shi didn't move at all. The power of the attack was once again absorbed into the well.
The light from the well became even more resplendent.
The aura from before had already become similar to the era, and it could fuse at any moment.
"Continue to pour energy in, do you really want to die? Why don't you take this opportunity to escape? "
Seeing the Martial Sage using the Green Dragon Crescent Blade, the Martial Sage didn't make a move, but he didn't stay idle either. He roared, and his bewitching voice immediately entered the ears of the Dragon Race elders.
Currently, the best way to stop the opening of the Sky Sealing Well was to stop these elders.
Subduing the enemy without fighting was the best strategy in the art of war. Bewitching with words and persuading them to surrender was what she was best at.
"Yes!"
They didn't want to die in the first place, so how could they hold back when they heard this? The ten-odd elders exchanged glances and stopped pouring energy into the well at the same time, retreating in unison.
The Crown Prince Xiao Shi was held back by the Martial Sage, and this was the best time for them to escape. Otherwise, if they missed this opportunity, they wouldn't have another chance.
"You want to leave? Do you really think that you can leave? "
Seeing through the Martial Sage's intentions, the Crown Prince Xiao Shi raised his claw again, and more than ten drops of essence blood appeared on his fingertip. It was unknown what he did, but he flicked them in the air.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The elders who were still alive a moment ago all paled. They could no longer control the energy in their bodies, and they all exploded at the same time.
In an instant, they turned into a rain of blood.
To think that the life and death of these people were already in the Crown Prince Xiao Shi's hands. It was laughable that the people involved still thought that the Crown Prince Xiao Shi was the savior of the Dragon Race until their deaths.
Once the Crown Prince Xiao Shi was found, the Dragon Race would dominate the world once more.
However, the end result was that the Dragon Emperor and all the remaining elders were killed, not leaving a single one alive.
