"Teacher …"
Not only was Martial Saint in disbelief, but even Xue Qianqiu was completely dumbfounded.
The four of them were already at a disadvantage when facing the Dragon Emperor and Xue Qianqiu. If Martial Saint, one of their main forces, was killed, wouldn't it mean that they no longer had the strength to resist?
Most importantly … when did Yellow Spring cooperate with their teacher so well? Their strength and timing were perfect. Not only did they block the attacks of the Dragon Emperor and the others, but they also perfectly killed a half-step Realm Fusion Realm without any chance of escape …
It was definitely the most perfect sneak attack in history!
"I can't accept this …"
Martial Saint's body exploded. Martial Saint's realm, which was half-fused with his soul, screamed and turned to flee.
Because he had joined forces with Firmament, he had lost the Green Dragon Crescent Blade and the Vast Origin Cauldron. Even his closest ally, Martial Saint, had died. He had thought that after sacrificing so much, he could be honest with Firmament, but he didn't expect that he was still not worth mentioning. He was just a pawn!
If he had known this would happen, he would have cooperated with Su Yin directly. How good would that have been?
Not only would Su Yin not die, but he would also be stronger!
Su Yin was very good to his allies. His pets and servants had all broken through their shackles, and even the Phoenix Emperor was a Rule Realm powerhouse.
One wrong step led to many wrong steps. There was no turning back … Martial Saint felt that it was already too late for regrets.
Firmament wouldn't let the sneak attack go so easily. He grabbed the realm, and at the same time, he waved his sleeve and gathered the exploding flesh and power.
"I'm sorry, but sacrificing you is better than all of us dying!"
With a low shout, Firmament grabbed again. Martial Saint's power and soul were absorbed into his body and burned instantly.
In the next moment, a powerful force filled Firmament's body, causing his eyes to turn red and his skin color to change.
After killing Martial Saint, he chose to sacrifice him and fused the former strongest powerhouse of the human race into his body.
He punched out, shattering spacetime and causing flowers to fall from the sky.
This punch, which burned the cultivation of a half-step Realm Fusion Realm, contained a transcendent power that could tear apart the universe and eras.
"Retreat!"
The Dragon Emperor's expression changed. The beast court suddenly expanded, forming a huge wall outside as if it was sealing itself.
Boom!
A huge explosion sounded, and the beast court shook violently.
"Go!"
After forcing the other party back with a single move, Cang Qiong stopped attacking. Instead, he kept Huang Quan and Xue Qianqiu into his weapon before turning into a streak of light and disappearing from the spot.
Knowing that he wasn't a match for Zhang Xuan, he decisively sacrificed the Martial Sage to stop the Beast Court and the Whip of the Dragon God. Even though it didn't last for too long, it was more than enough time for him to escape.
"As expected of the strongest person in the world, he is indeed ruthless … I have underestimated him before!"
After the explosion, the Dragon Emperor hovered in the air.
To be able to sacrifice his companions at such a critical moment, one could imagine how ruthless he was. As long as this kind of person didn't die, his future achievements would definitely be terrifying.
"Father, are we just going to let them escape?"
The crown prince frowned.
"It's already too late to chase after him now. Moreover, this Cang Qiong is extremely strange. He should have other trump cards up his sleeves … Rather than forcing him to reveal everything, why don't we head to the core of the final battlefield first? As long as I regain my strength and return to my peak state, none of them will be able to escape! "
The Dragon Emperor's eyes flickered with confidence, "Also, I will help you reach the peak of the Divine Melder Realm as soon as possible. Both Su Yin and Cang Qiong are improving too quickly. Only by becoming stronger can you survive!"
"En!"
The crown prince nodded.
No matter if it was the youth or Cang Qiong, they had all improved too quickly. To him, it was a huge pressure.
If he didn't break through quickly, it would be hard to say who would survive in this chaotic situation.
"Let's go!"
The Dragon Emperor found a direction and tore through space with the crown prince, disappearing on the spot.
…
Space shook and a figure appeared.
According to the firecracker's directions, Su Yin found this place. It could be considered the depths of the battlefield.
A blood-red mist shrouded the surroundings. Under the crimson moon, the eerie ancient trees were like ghosts. Boundless killing intent surged out like a tide, making it hard for one to concentrate and feel the urge to kill.
"War Flag, withdraw!"
Su Yin flicked his finger and the War Flag that he had refined earlier appeared. With a sweep of the flag, the blood-red mist in the surroundings became much dimmer and the killing intent wasn't as dense as before.
This artifact was refined for war and it had been refined with an unknown amount of blood. Even if this was the ancient battlefield, it could still easily contend against it.
As the mist dissipated, a massive canyon appeared before his eyes. It twisted and turned as it extended into the depths.
The canyon was only a few hundred meters wide, but its height was so high that it blocked out the crimson moon.
For someone of Zhang Xuan's cultivation, it didn't matter whether there was light or not. He took out the firecracker and confirmed that the thing that had attracted it was inside before walking in.
All sorts of strange ancient trees grew around the canyon. They had no leaves and no signs of life. There were only bare trunks that were twisted all over the place.
Hu!
As soon as he walked in, one of the trunks immediately extended and pierced toward him. The surrounding trees swayed non-stop, as if a tentacle was baring its fangs and claws.
Su Yin frowned. A sword ray whizzed through the air and slashed down on the trunk.
Puchi! Puchi! Puchi!
The tentacle-like trunk fell to the ground and wriggled non-stop. A viscous liquid flowed out of it, corroding rocks and weapons as soon as it came into contact with it. Even pinnacle Immortal artifacts would be reduced to ashes in an instant.
Its corrosive power was even stronger than the eternal sands of time.
Su Yin's mouth twitched. He took out a golden dragon scale and threw it over. The viscous liquid stuck to it, and while it didn't melt, the surface turned black.
That was the scale of the Dragon Emperor!
Even a Rule Realm expert was injured … Was it really just a tree?
Rushou's expression turned grim. "This is the place where the Chaos Beasts and the Dragon Race are fighting. The ancient tree should be a trap created by the Chaos Beasts. It doesn't belong to the Immortal World!"
The battlefield was huge, but the place where the battle took place wouldn't be too big. It was just like the battle with the Dragon Emperor. Even though the attack tore through heaven and earth, it was actually controlled within a hundred miles.
It could spread even further — tens of thousands of miles, hundreds of thousands of miles, or even millions of miles. However, it would consume too much energy and the losses outweighed the gains.
The canyon before him might be narrow, but from the looks of it, it should be the core of the battle. Otherwise, there wouldn't be such a dense murderous aura.
"The Dragon God Whip is probably forged because it suits the terrain?"
Su Yin frowned as he looked at the winding canyon before him.
Like the winding mountain road, this canyon was extremely twisted. Ordinary weapons couldn't bring out their full strength, but the Dragon God Whip could spread through it and unleash greater power.
"Mm." Rushou nodded.
He hadn't personally experienced the battle back then, so he didn't know much. Now, he could only feel his way through the river and speculate based on the environment.
After cutting down the tentacle-like ancient tree, Su Yin quickly advanced. From time to time, there would be sneak attacks from within the canyon. However, at his cultivation level, he didn't have to worry about them. Once he spread out his domain, no attacks could get close.
After flying for several thousand miles, a pool of water blocked his path.
It was similar to the viscous liquid from before, but it was more corrosive. Even the scales he threw in earlier had melted.
In other words, even a Rule Realm expert wouldn't be able to escape from it.
"This … goes against the Immortal World's laws!"
Su Yin couldn't believe it.
Everything had to abide by the law of conservation of energy. A Rule Realm expert was a pinnacle existence in the universe. Who knew how long it would take for them to reach that level, but a pool of water had corroded them …
That didn't make sense!
Putting everything else aside, the most corrosive thing in the Immortal World was the eternal sands of time, and it was only effective because it involved the laws of time. But even then, it was only effective at the second stage of the Sage Realm. Once it reached the third and fourth stage, the effects would become weaker and weaker. Even the Masters of Laws would feel like they were scratching an itch.
This liquid could even melt the Dragon Emperor's scales …
Didn't that mean that as long as he found a way to throw it out, a Sage Stage One could kill a Rule Realm expert?
"Chaos Beasts aren't from the Immortal World. Perhaps they don't have to abide by the Immortal World's laws …" Rushou said.
Su Yin was stunned.
He didn't know much about this ancient beast. It seemed like this was the only way to explain it.
"However, no matter what laws it follows, with this liquid, the Human Emperor Sacred Ground will have nothing to fear!"
This liquid was so corrosive that even if he wasn't there, Rule Realm experts wouldn't dare attack it! Even if he met an expert like the Dragon Emperor, if he threw it over, even if it didn't burn him to death, it would definitely cause him to panic.
In a battle between experts, the slightest difference could lead to a huge difference. If he used it well, he could definitely achieve unexpected results.
He grabbed it.
The highly corrosive liquid continued to boil, but it couldn't penetrate his skin.
Whoosh!
All of the water was sucked into a mountain in the Dry Origin World. It was contained by the power of space.
"Hmm?"
As soon as he entered the Dry Origin World, Su Yin immediately sensed that something was wrong. He appeared in front of Qin Yu and threw a stone over.
Splash!
The stone sank to the bottom of the water. It wasn't corroded, nor was it damaged.
"This …"
Su Yin was stunned. He extended his finger.
Like ordinary water, it didn't have the slightest corrosive effect.
Filled with disbelief, Su Yin returned the water to the valley. The corrosive effect was restored, but once it entered the Dry Origin World, it would immediately lose its effect …
"The laws are different. This thing is only effective in the Battlefield of Finality. It's useless in another space …"
Gonggong interjected.
As a Water Sage, he had never seen this thing before, but he could see the difference.
Su Yin shook his head and calmed his excitement.
He thought that it could be used anywhere, but if it had such an effect here, then it wouldn't be of much use.
If he reached the Divine Meld Realm, he could easily turn a cup of water corrosive in the Dry Origin World and kill someone of the laws. However, it couldn't be done outside …
"No … Could this battlefield be the realm of a chaos ancient beast?"
He was stunned.
The Realm Meld Realm was divided into three sub-realms: Soul Meld, Body Meld, and Spirit Meld.
He didn't understand the so-called Spirit Meld before, but after reaching the peak of the Body Meld Realm, it gradually became clearer. It was also the so-called … merging one's will with the world!
One could change the laws of the world according to one's will.
At this level, an ordinary cup of water could be turned into a highly toxic or corrosive drug at any time.
Therefore, this battlefield couldn't be the realm of a Divine Meld Realm beast, right?
That would explain why the liquid was so powerful!
He told Rushou his thoughts, and the latter nodded. "It's very likely. This battlefield appeared suddenly and didn't exist in the Immortal World before. If it's the realm of a cultivator, it's possible!"
"If it's a realm, we'd better find the treasure and leave as soon as possible!"
Su Yin narrowed his eyes.
Once a realm was refined and controlled by the other party, it would be much more dangerous.
He hurriedly flew across the pool and continued forward.
After flying for several hundred li, a small battlefield appeared in front of him.
The killing intent was so dense that it was almost tangible. There were all kinds of skeletons on the ground, and most of them belonged to the Dragon Clan. They were completely charred black, and the surrounding rocks and trees were also charred. There was no sign of life at all.
Needless to say, this place must have experienced a brutal battle.
"The owners of these skeletons were at least Saint Realm Fourth Layer when they were alive!"
Su Yin picked up a charred bone and carefully examined it for a while. His expression was grave.
There were at least a few hundred skeletons scattered on this battlefield. If they were all Saint Realm Fourth Layer … How powerful were the Ancient Era's Dragons?
Weng!
While he was still in shock, he sensed that something was wrong. With a flick of his wrist, a firecracker appeared and swayed in the air excitedly.
Hu! Releasing his control over the firecracker, the bamboo flew forward. It flew forward and landed in front of a pile of reefs in an instant. Then, it plunged straight into the ground.
Boom!
As the bamboo plunged into the ground, the vitality sealed within it was immediately ignited. Emerald leaves began to grow from the branches.
"It's revived?"
Su Yin was taken aback. He quickly rushed forward to take a closer look.
He had tried many means to draw out the vitality of the bamboo, but he was still unable to do so. Yet, in this charred battlefield, it actually sprouted on its own accord.
He quickly extended his Spiritual Perception to cover the surroundings. As expected, he saw a grayish aura being drawn out from the ground by the firecracker. With the nourishment of the energy, the bamboo grew even more verdant, and its leaves grew denser.
In just a dozen breaths, another section grew out from the original four sections of the bamboo.
"This aura …"
Curious, Zhang Xuan reached out to grab a strand of it.
Tzzzzz!
The grayish aura seemed to be corrosive, and it pricked his finger painfully.
Zhang Xuan took out another pinnacle Immortal artifact, and when it came into contact with the grayish aura, a hole was also corroded into it.
"Could it be the same as the liquid?"
Perplexed, Zhang Xuan collected another strand of it and placed it into the Dry Origin World.
If the grayish aura was the same as the liquid, and it was left behind by a Divine Melder realm expert, it would only work in the Dry Origin World.
