The cavern before him was completely empty. It looked as if someone had scraped off a layer of the walls, leaving them glossy and shiny. If a rat were to come here, it would probably cry.
The Dragon Emperor widened his eyes in frenzy.
Didn't I leave behind a rule stating that all of my clansmen should die here?
What in the world is going on?
"Let's take a look inside!"
With a low bellow, the Dragon Emperor took the lead and flew forward. The Xiao Shi Crown Prince followed closely behind.
The deeper they went, the smoother the cavern became. It was as if someone had plundered it and cleaned it with clean water.
Not only were the dragon corpses gone, the medicinal herbs, plants, and even the Dragon Blood Stones that grew alongside the dragon blood were all gone. Even the ores that were originally in the cavern had been cleared clean.
"It can't be that … Ao Feng and the others devoured all of the dragon corpses in advance, right?"
The Xiao Shi Crown Prince nearly choked on his own breath.
He was still thinking that he would be able to make use of the dragon corpses to push his cultivation to World Melder realm, but who could have thought that he would see such a sight?
The Dragon Emperor shook his head. "He hasn't even achieved a breakthrough to World of Law yet, so it's impossible for him to devour so many dragon corpses.
It was not that he was looking down on the other party, but the current Dragon Emperor was simply too weak.
"Then … other than him, it's impossible for him to devour the dragon corpses!" The Xiao Shi Crown Prince was perplexed.
Without the Dragon Bloodline, it was impossible for one to devour the dragon corpses. Furthermore, there were so many of them that even a grade-9 Sage would not be able to devour them all. Something must have happened.
"It's possible that Ao Feng learned of our thoughts and moved the dragon corpses away in advance …"
The Dragon Emperor fell into deep thought. A moment later, he said, "Forget it, let's not think about it anymore. Let's head to the Land of Finality first and retrieve my power. Once we succeed, force those Dragon Tribe experts to hand it over obediently, and that'll be a happy ending. If they refuse to hand it over, we'll just kill all of the remaining Dragon Tribe members and sacrifice them to achieve the same effect! "
The Xiao Shi Crown Prince nodded. "Yes!"
Transcendence was the most important thing. Clansmen meant nothing at all!
As long as they obtained eternal life, whether it was cows, wolves, birds, toads, lions … they could all reproduce and create a new race. It would not be difficult.
The Dragon Emperor walked to the end of the cavern and swam around, but he didn't notice anything amiss. Thus, he took out a droplet of blood and whipped his thick tail.
Rip!
A tear appeared in space, and blood seeped in. Following that, an altar appeared, followed by a door. A dense killing intent surged out, surging in the air.
"As expected, it's here …"
Su Yin, who was hiding at the side, had a serious look in his eyes.
It was no wonder that Zhang Xuan was unable to find him. Not only did the other party conceal his killing intent with the help of the dragon corpse in the Dragon Tomb, he even sealed it in a special altar. Only his own blood and strength could undo it. Even Crown Prince Xiao Shi and the Great Beast King were unable to do so.
In other words, other than him, no one else could open this place … The security was really tight.
However, if it really involved the profound mysteries of transcendence, then it was understandable.
He couldn't tell anyone about this, not even his own son.
The Dragon Monarch and Crown Prince Xiao Shi might seem like a loving father and a filial son now, but once there was only one spot for transcendence, it was obvious that they would kill each other.
The Dragon Emperor could kill Bi 'an, Qiu Niu, and the other sons in order to survive. Killing another son was nothing.
As for Crown Prince Xiao Shi and his beloved wife, Nongyu, he could even turn them into specimens, let alone the others.
The royal family of the mortal world was willing to kill their own father for the sake of the throne, needless to say, immortality.
"Let's go!"
Upon seeing the entrance, the Dragon Monarch flung his tail once more and dived in. Crown Prince Xiao Shi quickly followed behind him, vanishing from sight.
A moment later, Su Yin noticed that the door was unstable, and it seemed like it would vanish at any moment. He knew that the Dragon Monarch had already left if he didn't go in now. Thus, he didn't hesitate and flew in as well.
If there was really the corpse of a Primordial Ancient Beast here, he would be able to make use of this opportunity to search for nutrients for the firecrackers. At the same time, he would be able to uncover the origin of the ancient beast and the secret to transcendence.
…
A man and two dragons entered the Land of the Final Destination. Outside the Dragon Tomb, Cang Qiong and the others had also silently rushed over.
Even Su Yin was unable to stop the various formations of the Dragon Domain, so naturally, they wouldn't be able to stop them.
Following the auras left behind by the Dragon Monarch and the others, they soon came to a stop.
"To think that they actually left the Great Beast King behind!"
Xue Qianqiu exclaimed in agitation.
Even though they had fused with the Ninefold Spirit Firmament Tower and were stronger than the Great Beast King, it would still be difficult for them to kill the Great Beast King with the cooperation of the Dragon Monarch and Crown Prince Xiao Shi.
Now that the Great Beast King was alone, this was definitely the best opportunity to kill it!
"Teacher, do we make a move?" Xue Qianqiu asked the old man before him.
"We don't know when the Dragon Monarch will come out. Once we make a move, we have to use our full strength. Even if we can't kill the Great Beast King, we have to extract the Dao of Time from it!"
Cang Qiong said as he looked around.
"Don't worry!" The Yellow Spring and Martial Saint nodded simultaneously.
They knew that they had to use their full strength once they made a move. Otherwise, it would be hard to say who would be the one to die.
"Let's begin then!"
After coming to an agreement, Cang Qiong bellowed deeply and sealed the surrounding space so as to prevent those from the Dragon Monarch from noticing them. At the same time, the Yellow Spring and Martial Saint stopped concealing themselves and appeared in the sky to launch an attack on the Great Beast King.
Xue Qianqiu was also floating by the side. Even though he looked extremely old, he had not lost his cultivation, and his fighting prowess was still frightening. It was just that he was unable to use the River of Time to trap his enemies. However, he was still able to use his sword arts.
"You are courting death!"
The Great Beast King roared furiously, not expecting these people to sneak into the Dragon Monarch and make a move on him. The River of Time immediately surfaced and shrouded the trio.
Struck by the river, they felt as if they had fallen into the past. Not only were they unable to advance any further, they were even forced to retreat.
This was the ultimate move that Xue Qianqiu had executed back then. In the hands of the Great Beast King, it was even more proficient and powerful than before.
"Humph!"
Cang Qiong's eyebrows shot up as he brought out the Ninefold Spirit Firmament Pagoda.
The pagoda landed on top of the river and pressed down. The surging river was immediately suppressed, as if a Three Gorges Dam had appeared on the Yangtze River. No matter how ferocious it was, it had to be obedient.
With the River of Time suppressed, the influence of the past, present, and future immediately disappeared. The retreating figures of the Yellow Spring and the others continued to move forward. The three super experts once again appeared in front of the Great Beast King.
The Nine Levels Ling Xiao Pagoda had already surpassed the Divine Fusion Realm. Its strength was comparable to that of the Dragon Monarch. Suppressing the other party's River of Time was nothing.
With its strength suppressed, the Great Beast King immediately fell into a passive state. Its strength seemed to have been suppressed by half, and it was no longer as ferocious as before.
It was no wonder that it was proficient in the Great Dao of Time. Now that the entire river was suppressed, its condition was somewhat similar to that of Xue Qianqiu. It could only rely on the power of its bloodline to fight with brute force.
Of course, as an ancient Divine Beast, an existence second only to the Dragon Monarch, its physical body was abnormally strong and could not be underestimated.
It stretched out its claws and tore the void apart, creating ripples of water.
Given its strength, it could easily tear the void apart. However, doing so would not only prevent it from harming the group before it, it would also cause them to dodge in advance, allowing it to execute a stronger attack.
Thus, by creating ripples in the void, it was equivalent to distorting the space around it. If the other party wanted to break free, they would have to put in more effort.
The Great Beast King had displayed a powerful battle will right from the start, and it was likely that he was stronger than the three before him!
But that was no wonder. In the Ancient Era, there were many experts, and the Great Beast King had fought alongside the Dragon Monarch. In terms of experience, it definitely surpassed Cang Qiong and the others.
"Hmph! Let's work together! "
Knowing that it was impossible for them to defeat the other party in a short period of time, Cang Qiong harrumphed coldly.
The strength of the three experts surged frenziedly, not holding back at all.
The folded space was suppressed by the might of the Great Beast King, causing it to stop moving.
Knowing that his technique was insufficient, he decided to use brute force to defeat all of them.
In any case, the three experts weren't any weaker than him. If they couldn't kill the other party even after working together, it would be a huge failure.
"Roar!"
Seeing through the other party's intentions, the Great Beast King roared furiously as he swiped his massive claw toward the Martial Sage.
Cang Qiong and Huang Quan were both stronger than him. Not only would they be unable to do anything to him in a short period of time, they would even suppress him. Since that was the case, he might as well kill the weakest one first!
As long as he succeeded, he would have one less enemy to deal with, and the chances of him escaping would be much higher.
"Heh!"
Knowing the Great Beast King's intentions, the Martial Sage drove his strength to its limits and executed battle techniques one after another.
The Martial Sage's moves were powerful, and he was pushing his cultivation to its limits. However, without the Green Dragon Crescent Blade and the Vast Origin Cauldron, his offensive prowess was limited. As soon as he clashed with the Great Beast King's claw, cracks immediately appeared on his hand and chest. Blood spurted wildly from his mouth.
Just as the Great Beast King was planning to kill Xiao Chen in one go, the Yellow Springs at the side attacked. Ghostly images and boundless Death Qi assaulted the Great Beast King's tail like branding iron.
At the same time, the Firmament Pagoda in Cang Qiong's hand also struck the Great Beast King's spine.
Kacha!
The Great Beast King's tail was severed, and several of his vertebrae were shattered. His internal organs were shaken, and his aura weakened.
With a cry of agony, the Great Beast King's eyes turned crimson.
The reaction of the two experts was simply too fast. On top of that, they had grown even stronger. As powerful as the Great Beast King was, he still ended up suffering a huge loss.
"Pu!"
Spurting fresh blood, the Great Beast King's face paled, and his aura withered significantly.
Fifty thousand years ago, the super expert that dominated the world, the King of Beasts, had completely lost its ferocity under the joint attack of three top experts. It looked very miserable.
"Hurry up and use this opportunity to strip away the Dao of Time!"
Seeing that the Great Beast King was injured, Cang Qiong bellowed.
"Alright!" Even without Cang Qiong's reminder, Xue Qianqiu was already prepared to make a move. Spreading open his palm, he grabbed at the river in the distance.
Anyone who came into contact with the raging river would be torn to shreds. However, as soon as Xue Qianqiu came into contact with it, it immediately stabilized.
Having comprehended the Dao of Time, he was naturally able to tame this kind of energy. It was for this reason that Su Yin was able to obtain the Great Beast King's Dao and assimilate it into his body.
"You want to tame my Dao? Dream on!"
Knowing what everyone was thinking, the Great Beast King flew into a rage. He opened his mouth, and a ray of light shot toward Xue Qianqiu.
This ray of light moved with incredible speed, as if it had surpassed the limits of time.
"This is bad! It's the Beast Core! Qianqiu, be careful!"
Cang Qiong narrowed his eyes.
The Beast Core harnessed the essence of an ancient beast. Once it was damaged, its cultivation would plummet, and it might even die on the spot!
The battle had only just begun, but the Great Beast King had already tossed out its most important item. Was that fellow tired of living?
"To be able to survive countless battles in the Ancient Era and command over a hundred beasts, how could the Great Beast King possibly be simple?" Martial Sage Cang Qiong asked grimly.
In the Ancient Era, experts were as common as the clouds, and even those in the Rule realm were nothing much. The fact that the Great Beast King was able to stand out from the crowd and strike fear into the Dragon Emperor's heart showed just how fearsome he was.
Even though he had yet to recover his full strength after awakening, his battle instincts and ability to make decisions in a battle were still present.
Tossing out the Beast Core might seem like a risky move, but it was actually the best choice at the moment.
That was because …
Cang Qiong and the Yellow Springs were simply too powerful. Once they surrounded the Great Beast King, there was no way he would be able to escape....
Hu!
The speed of the Beast Core seemed to have reached the speed of light, and it appeared right before Xue Qianqiu in the blink of an eye.
Xue Qianqiu's eyes narrowed as he tried to raise his hand to defend himself. However, he immediately felt a sharp pain in his palm. A massive hole had already been smashed into his palm, and at least a dozen of his ribs had been shattered.
Pu!
His internal energy was in a mess, and fresh blood spurted from his mouth.
The Beast Core was the most important part of the Great Beast King's body, and it was many times more powerful than a firecracker.
"Teacher, save me!"
Sensing that his life was in danger, Xue Qianqiu immediately bellowed.
"Great Beast King, you're courting death!"
With a livid face, Cang Qiong grabbed the Beast Core. As long as he could grab hold of it, even if the latter didn't die, he would be crippled.
"It's still too early to tell who will live and who will die!"
At this moment, a thought suddenly flashed through the Beast Core. The Cang Qiong, the Yellow Springs, and the Martial Sage were taken aback, and they hurriedly set up countless sets of armor in front of them before retreating swiftly.
Boom!
Right after he was done, an intense explosion sounded. In the blink of an eye, a massive black hole was blasted into the world. Violent energy swept toward the three of them.
"He actually detonated his own body?" The Cang Qiong and the others shuddered.
That fellow was too vicious. Knowing that he would be surrounded by them, he first used the Beast Core to attract their attention before detonating his own body!
Others would say that a warrior would wring his wrists, but that fellow had even severed his own body!
However, as long as he had the Beast Core, he would be able to regenerate his body with sufficient time. However, he would suffer great losses as well. He had lost at least eighty percent of his strength, and less than twenty percent would remain.
Even so, he had managed to preserve his life!
Ruthless enough, decisive enough!
With the explosion of his physical body, he blocked the three masters. The Beast Elixir swept the River of Time and the Nine Levels of Ling Xiao Pagoda that was suppressing the river into it. It broke through the shackles of distance and entered the Dragon's Tomb, rushing straight into the depths.
