"Constant speed of light … To think that he actually managed to cultivate it!"
Seeing that the treasure had been snatched away and the Beast Core had disappeared from his sight, Firmament's face turned livid.
Legend had it that those who had mastered the Way of Time could move as fast as light, and light was time itself. Once one reached such speed, one would not need any time at all.
In other words, no matter how far away one was, one would be able to travel in an instant.
He had once suspected that the young man possessed such an ability back in the Beast Hall, but he had never used it in a real battle, so he had not thought much of it. However, it was only at this moment that he realized that while the young man was unable to do so, the Beast Core was able to do so through a secret art!
With the fastest speed in the world, one would be able to break through the shackles of spacetime in an instant. Unless one had comprehended the River of Time and was able to trap one in the past, no one would be able to stop him!
It was for this reason that even though the Ninefold Spirit Pagoda was stronger than the Great Beast King, it was still trapped in the River of Time.
That was because its speed was simply too slow before the speed of light!
"Chase him!"
Firmament bellowed with gritted teeth.
Knowing that the Dragon Emperor was in the cavern, he had no choice but to give chase. Otherwise, he would really suffer a double loss!
The Netherworld, Martial Sage, and the others were also aware of the situation, so they quickly rushed into the Dragon Tomb.
"Teacher, I …"
Xue Qianqiu hurriedly followed behind with a reddened face.
If not for him being unable to stop the Beast Core at the crucial moment and diverting Firmament's attention, it would have been difficult for him to stop the Dragon Emperor even if he were to self-detonate.
"Trash!" Firmament flung his sleeves furiously.
If the Dragon Emperor had not lost his River of Time, he would have already assimilated the Great Beast King's River of Time.
It was one thing for the four experts to fail to kill the Great Beast King, but the latter even managed to snatch the treasure away … Just the thought of it left him stifled.
However, it was not a big deal. With so many experts on their side, even if they were no match for the Dragon Emperor, they would still be able to snatch the treasure back.
Hu hu hu!
Two breaths later, they arrived at the end of the cavern. At this moment, the Beast Core of the Great Beast King had already disappeared, leaving behind a spatial rift and a door that would vanish at any moment.
"It's the Land of Finality! To think that it would be hidden in the Dragon Tomb … That's a treasure trove!"
Firmament was stunned for a moment before his eyes.
As the Firmament's River of Finality, he knew just how powerful the Finality of Finality was.....
"Treasure?" The Martial Saint frowned.
Cang Qiong said, "The Final Battlefield contains the sacred remains of ancient Chaos beasts and the treasures left behind by countless Dragon Race experts. If we can enter it, we might be able to successfully forge our weapons."
"That's great! Let's go in quickly!" The Martial Saint's eyes lit up.
"Yes!" Cang Qiong nodded.
"Please wait!"
Right at this moment, Xue Qianqiu spoke abruptly and interrupted everyone's actions.
Firmament looked over and frowned.
Even though this disciple of his had always been a prodigal son, his luck was actually quite good. On top of that, he was extremely intelligent as well. Since he dared to stop them, he must have his own plans.
"None of us are familiar with the battlefield of the Final Battle. If someone were to ambush us behind the door, we would be in deep trouble!"
Without keeping the crowd waiting for too long, Xue Qianqiu revealed his thoughts.
"This …" Everyone fell silent.
He was right.
Although the spatial portal in front of them was connected to a battlefield full of treasures, who knew if there were any experts lying in ambush behind the portal?
If there was, they would be attacked if they went in!
"I think that we should gather the strength of the four of us and launch a frenzied assault through the portal. If someone were to ambush us, they wouldn't have expected the assault to reach us before they do! Caught off guard, we'll surely be at a disadvantage. Then, we'll make use of this opportunity to enter, and we'll be safe! "
Xue Qianqiu explained his thoughts.
It had to be said that this fellow was quite intelligent.
"That's right!"
The eyes of Cang Qiong and the others lit up. "Let's do as he says!"
Boom!
The four experts gathered their strength together and launched a frenzied assault. In the blink of an eye, the assault was launched through the portal!
…
Oblivious to the fact that Cang Qiong and the others had arrived outside the cavern, Su Yin felt his body jolt, and in the next moment, he found himself in a blood-red space filled with killing intent.
This place was filled with malevolent aura, and it felt as if he had stepped into a fiery hell. If it had been any other cultivator, they would have surely succumbed to it. However, Zhang Xuan had assimilated the Grand Essence Cauldron and the War Banner, so he didn't feel any discomfort from being corroded by the malevolent aura. Instead, he felt exceptionally comfortable.
It was as if these two treasures were more excited in a place filled with malevolent aura, and they could unleash their greatest combat power.
Su Yin heaved a sigh of relief. Just as he steadied himself and was about to search for materials that could nourish the firecrackers, he felt goosebumps all over his body. An immense sense of danger filled his mind.
At his level of cultivation, he could already predict fortune and misfortune, and he could act on a whim.
"Return to the past!"
Su Yin knew that the danger he was about to face was extremely terrifying. With a thought, the River of Time immediately appeared and extended beneath his feet like a long passageway.
He leaped into the River of Time, and time seemed to have retreated by half a breath.
Although it wasn't long, the effect was great, and it was enough for him to deal with it in advance.
Boom!
The Dry Origin World was unleashed, and a thick, viscous, liquid-like realm energy greeted the incoming attack.
Although he was still a peak Body Melder, he had fused with too many treasures. It was equivalent to refining the Origin Energy Bead, the Grand Essence Cauldron, and the many dragon corpses. Its defensive power was terrifying!
Boom boom boom!
The power collapsed, and Su Yin was sent flying.
The Dry Origin World blocked all of the sneak attacks, leaving no injuries on him.
He took the opportunity to turn around, and when he saw the Dragon Emperor and Crown Prince Xiao Shi floating not too far away, he couldn't believe his eyes.
In just a few hours, the young man had gained such strength and cultivation. It was simply inconceivable.
"I suspected that the dragon corpses had been taken away by someone in advance. It was indeed you …"
Crown Prince Xiao Shi gritted his teeth after recovering from his shock.
They had sensed that something was amiss after entering the Dragon Tomb, but they hadn't said anything. Their goal was to wait here for the right opportunity!
As long as the person who had taken away the dragon corpses dared to enter, they would be able to successfully launch a sneak attack and kill him on the spot!
But … they had been blocked!
Borrowing the River of Time, retreating by half a breath, and using a realm to block the attack, every step was unexpected. Even Firmament might not have been able to do so.
Su Yin smiled when he saw the appearance of the two. He bowed and cupped his fist, as if he wasn't angry at all about the sneak attack just now.
"Crown Prince Xiao Shi, I trust that you have been well. This … should be your father, the Dragon Emperor, right? Indeed, he has an impressive appearance and looks like a dragon … "
After assimilating the Vast Origin Cauldron and reaching Body Melder realm, he no longer feared the Dragon Emperor as much.
Crown Prince Xiao Shi narrowed his eyes. "Stop feigning ignorance. You disguised yourself as Firmament, stole Emperor Father's power, and even ambushed me and the Great Beast King. Do you really think that no one knows about it?"
Su Yin shook his head. "Your Highness, please don't say that. I only did that to protect myself! We don't have much of a grudge between us, so why don't we bury the hatchet? "
Crown Prince Xiao Shi burst into laughter. "Very well! Return the Auspicious Bead and the firecrackers to me, and I'll bury the hatchet with you!"
Su Yin sighed. "It's not impossible … If you can persuade the Dragon Emperor to hand over the Beast Court to me, I'll return those two treasures immediately!"
"Otherwise, you can die!"
Seeing that Zhang Xuan had no intention of negotiating with him, Crown Prince Xiao Shi roared coldly. He raised the Dragon God's Whip and lashed it toward Zhang Xuan.
Countless illusory dragons danced in the air, forming a unique net that sealed the world. The net contained flames, poison, and violence … All of these energies gathered together, causing one's mind to crumble.
It had only been a few hours since they last met, and Crown Prince Xiao Shi had already stabilized his cultivation at pinnacle Soul Melder realm after receiving the energy from the Beast Court. His control over the artifact had also become more proficient. The crimson space was torn apart, and a powerful force slashed down on Su Yin's Realm Domain.
Knowing that a battle was inevitable, Su Yin raised his eyebrows.
The reason why he spoke earlier was to observe the situation around him. Otherwise, he wouldn't even be able to escape.
However, whether he should flee or not depended on the other party's strength.
Raising his eyebrows, Zhang Xuan threw a punch forward. His body and the Realm Domain fused together perfectly, and the artifacts in his body began to revolve, emitting a golden glow.
At this moment, Su Yin's body had fused with the Realm Domain, making him look like a golden arhat with invincible defense.
The fist and the Dragon God's Whip collided. The intense collision caused the crimson space to tremble, and the river seemed like it would collapse at any moment.
This was one of the strongest artifacts in the world, but not only was it unable to break through Zhang Xuan's defense, it was also nearly shattered on the spot!
"This …"
Crown Prince Xiao Shi widened his eyes in disbelief.
Yesterday, when he first met Zhang Xuan, he was chased to the point that Xue Qianqiu had to self-detonate in order to escape. But now, even though he had improved a lot and possessed such a heaven-defying artifact, he wasn't a match for Zhang Xuan!
Zhang Xuan's improvement was too fast!
Boom! Boom!
Boom! Boom! The Dragon God's Whip lashed out continuously, and Crown Prince Xiao Shi revealed a frenzied expression. If it was Cang Qiong facing such a move, he might be flustered. However, Su Yin's body was strong, and there was no need for him to dodge.
"Alright, stop!"
Hu!
It was at this moment that a surge of energy appeared between the two of them, blocking their attacks. Following which, a gentle voice sounded, "Crown Prince Xiao Shi has always said that you are a genius, and it seems like he's right. How about this? Become my prime minister, and I'll bring you to transcendence!"
The one who spoke was the Dragon Emperor, who had been motionless all this while.
Even though he knew that the Dragon Emperor was an enemy of the Beast Hall, he was still shocked when he saw it with his own eyes.
To possess a cultivation that was on par with him at the age of eighteen … Even he wouldn't have been able to achieve such a feat when he was younger. In fact, even the Chaos Ancient Beasts wouldn't have been able to do so.
Su Yin chuckled, "I'm sorry, but I don't want to listen to other people's orders!"
A glint flashed across the Dragon Emperor's eyes as he spoke with the authority of a ruler, "There's no need for you to listen to my orders. All you need to do is to support me. As long as you agree to it, I can give you the corpse of a Chaos Ancient Beast to help you reach Divine Melder realm pinnacle!"
Su Yin was stunned, "May I know what kind of Chaos Ancient Beast's corpse it is? Will it be of great help to me? "
"You took the firecracker of the Great Beast King. As long as you submit to me, I'll give you this treasure and the corpse of a Chaos Ancient Beast, the Iron-Eater Beast! This firecracker is its weapon. If I hadn't stolen it, it wouldn't have been so easy to kill it in the final battle. "
Su Yin was shocked, "Iron-Eater Beast?"
He only knew that the Dragon Emperor had fought with the four Chaos Ancient Beasts back then, but he didn't know what it was called.
Now that he knew about it, it was clear that the firecracker was the Iron-Eater Beast's weapon.
"That's right!"
The Dragon Emperor looked at Zhang Xuan coldly, "How about it? If you agree to it, we'll sign a contract. If you don't, you can only die! "
"I'm sorry …"
Su Yin shook his head.
"Alright!" The Dragon Emperor nodded expressionlessly. Without saying anything else, he raised his claws and charged toward Zhang Xuan.
As expected of the Primordial God Monarch, he was decisive in his actions. Knowing that Zhang Xuan wouldn't submit to him, he went straight for the kill.
The blood-red space seemed to be under his control, and it turned into a violent storm that swept toward Zhang Xuan.
The Dry Origin World, which had been able to withstand the Dragon Emperor's sneak attack a moment ago, began to shrink back under the immense pressure.
"What's going on?" Su Yin narrowed his eyes.
Based on his calculations, his current strength should be on par with the Dragon Emperor. Even if he was weaker, he should have been able to escape with ease. How could he possibly be unable to withstand the Dragon Emperor's attack?
"I have already assimilated this ancient battlefield, which means that this is my home ground. Even those with the same cultivation as me won't be able to withstand my attacks, let alone those who are weaker than me!"
The Dragon Emperor chuckled softly as he exerted more force with his claws.
Kacha!
The protective barrier formed by the Dry Origin World was unable to withstand the force and exploded on the spot. Su Yin's body was forced back by the impact. At the same time, the True Dragon Sword appeared in his hand, and it morphed into countless streaks of sword qi that slashed toward the Dragon Emperor.
Even though the artifact had become a part of the Dry Origin World, as long as he wanted to use it, he could reform it. Not only would its might not be reduced, it would be even stronger.
Invincible Sword Qi, One Sword of Three Autumns, Human Emperor Swordsmanship, Heavenly Emperor Swordsmanship, Earthly Emperor Swordsmanship, Life and Death Swordsmanship!
The various Great Daos that Zhang Xuan had comprehended fused together perfectly, morphing into a rain of swords that shot toward the sky like shooting stars.
Zhang Xuan had used all of his cultivation in this attack. Success or failure depended on this attack.
The Dragon Emperor's eyes remained calm despite sensing the might of the swordsmanship. He swung his thick tail, and a massive palace floated into the air above Su Yin.
The jade-green tiles looked as if they were made of glass, and the golden walls looked as if they were cast in gold. Thousands of rays of light shone on the walls, and there were jade stairs and dragon pavilions and phoenix pavilions. The pillars were carved from the bones of divine beasts, and the walls were piled up with supreme magical treasures. The entire palace seemed to have gathered the power and luck of an era.
Before it even came crashing down, Su Yin could already feel the vicissitudes of history.
It felt as if his entire body was being crushed by the wheels of history. A heavy feeling came from inside out, as if his body could no longer withstand the weight of his organs — the weight of an era!
Legend had it that the heaviest thing in the world was not Mount Tai, nor was it the stars, nor was it the rivers and seas. It was the era, the history!
No matter how heroic a person was, how powerful their means were, or how greedy they were for the power of fortune, they would still be crushed by history.
No one could move forward while carrying history on their backs.
This was because … this was the wheel of an era!
