Lu Changsheng woke up to find that Protector Yang from the Blood Sea Palace had already left, and the corpse of Demon Monarch Huanye lay amidst the ruins.
Lu Changsheng took Demon Monarch Huanye’s corpse with him.
The corpse of a ninth-grade Divine King had a strength surpassing superior Emperor Soldiers and could be refined into a puppet, capable of executing some of Demon Monarch Huanye’s divine skills from when he was alive.
“Who is this Protector Yang, and why did he spare my life?”
“He even revealed to me that Demon Monarch Huanye was a subordinate of the Cold Bone Demon Venerable.”
“Cold Bone Demon Venerable was one of the Demon Lords who followed the Demon Lord during the ancient battles. He has survived from Ancient Times until now, with a status nearly equal to the Hallucinatory Dark Demon Venerable and with extremely terrifying power. Furthermore, this individual is brutally cruel and insanely violent. The Crazy Demon Defying Heaven Pill was concocted by him.”
“Why does Cold Bone Demon Venerable want to kill me? Could it be that such an existence has foreseen something ahead of time, determined I am an obstacle, and thus wants to eliminate me?”
Lu Changsheng had escaped death and also learned that the traps set in the Qianyuan Cave Heaven were by Cold Bone Demon Venerable and Hallucinatory Dark Demon Venerable.
As for whether other Demon Lords were involved, Lu Changsheng had no way of knowing.
What role Demon Marshal Dugu Mietian, who commands the Demon Realm, was playing in all of this was also beyond Lu Changsheng’s knowledge.
Lu Changsheng’s strength was still not enough to interact with beings of that level.
Lu Changsheng released everyone from the Eight Desolations Imprisoning Dragon Tower and informed Lin Qinghan about the matter.
Lin Qinghan, too, was surprised that Protector Yang spared everyone.
People from the Blood Sea Palace, known for their ruthlessness, unexpectedly spared those from Tai Hua and Yaochi. It was truly unbelievable.
Lin Qinghan speculated, “Cold Bone Demon Monarch setting up a trap could very well be to kill the peerless geniuses of several generations in the Immortal Realm, so that millions of years later, the Immortal Realm would have no successors.”
Lu Changsheng nodded.
He also vaguely guessed the intention of Cold Bone Demon Venerable.
From the Elder Ancestor of the Lin Clan to Lin Qinghan, generations of talents from the Tai Hua Holy Land had come to the Qianyuan Cave Heaven for training.
If Cold Bone Demon Venerable were to arrange and kill all the geniuses entering Qianyuan Cave Heaven, the loss for the Immortal Realm would be extremely severe.
“It seems that the Demon Realm will take action millions of years later, or perhaps even sooner.”
Lu Changsheng inferred the time when the Demon Realm would genuinely take action based on the timing of Cold Bone Demon Venerable’s schemes.
Cold Bone Demon Venerable was erasing the youngest generations of geniuses of the Immortal Realm, who would be the backbone of the Immortal Realm millions of years later.
Therefore, it is very likely that the Demon Realm would take action millions of years from now.
Planning over millions of years is nothing for Demon Realm powerhouses like Cold Bone Demon Venerable and Hallucinatory Dark Demon Venerable.
Once reaching the Divine King Realm, each advancement in realm typically requires tens of millions of years.
To prevent Cold Bone Demon Venerable from deducing that Demon Monarch Huanye had been killed and from sending other Divine King Realm experts of the Demon Realm or even taking action personally, Lu Changsheng and his group continued on their journey, rushing back to Mount Taihua as quickly as possible.
Mount Taihua still had the Ancestor presiding over it, as well as the Mountain Protection Array, preventing the Demon Realm from extending its claws to Mount Taihua.
Lu Changsheng did not forget his disciple tutoring along the way.
[Ding, you have gifted your disciple Lin Qingzhi with a seventeenth-grade Elixir Pill “True Yang Limitless Pill,” receiving a return reward of 666 million times: a twentieth-grade Qilin Blood Essence Pill.]
Hmm?
I didn’t expect to trigger a multiplier of 666 million times directly this time.
Lu Changsheng added a Qilin Blood Essence Pill.
While feeling lucky, Lu Changsheng gifted another True Yang Limitless Pill.
[Ding, you have gifted your disciple Lin Qingzhi with a seventeenth-grade Elixir Pill “True Yang Limitless Pill,” receiving a return reward of 600 million times: a twenty-first-grade Divine Pill “Ancestral Dragon Blood Pill.”]
A twenty-first-grade Divine Pill?!
Lu Changsheng was momentarily stunned, followed by a wave of excitement. Find adventures at My Virtual Library Empire
A twenty-first-grade Divine Pill!
Even the three Pill Saints from Lianshan Holy Land wouldn’t dare to say that given enough Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, they could surely concoct a twenty-first-grade Divine Pill.
On the contrary, the chances of failure when making a twenty-first-grade Divine Pill are exceedingly high.
Not to mention, the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures required for concocting a twenty-first-grade Divine Pill are extremely rare.
The primary material for the Ancestral Dragon Blood Pill is the blood of the Ancestral Dragon.
And since the Ancestral Dragon is the progenitor of all dragons and the strongest among the Dragon Clan, the value of a single drop of its blood can be imagined.
The effects of the Ancestral Dragon Blood Pill are similar to that of the Qilin Blood Essence Pill, as both can help the user temporarily enhance their realm.
However, although the Ancestral Dragon Blood Pill is only one grade higher than the Qilin Blood Essence Pill, its effect is vastly more significant.
A twenty-first-grade Divine Pill is far more domineering than a twentieth-grade one.
Even powerful individuals like the Saint Lord Lin Xuantong of Tai Hua would not easily obtain a twenty-first-grade Divine Pill.
Lu Changsheng, using the Disciple Apprenticeship Simulator’s battle simulation feature, simulated the effects of using the “Ancestral Dragon Blood Pill.”
Once the Ancestral Dragon Blood Pill reached his stomach, a tremendously overwhelming medicinal power spread out, filling Lu Changsheng’s organs.
Lu Changsheng’s joints even started popping.
Lu Changsheng’s realm was rapidly rising, Immortal Emperor sixth level, Immortal Emperor seventh level, Immortal Emperor eighth level… Lu Changsheng’s temporary cultivation actually broke through the Immortal Emperor Realm and entered the Divine King Realm!
“Unbelievable…”
Lu Changsheng felt an immeasurably domineering power coursing through his body.
This was the formidable power exclusive to Divine King Realm experts.
A sixth-grade Divine King!
Lu Changsheng felt the Ancestral Dragon Blood Pill help him breakthrough three times in the Divine King Realm, advancing from a ninth-grade Divine King to an eighth-grade Divine King, then to a seventh-grade Divine King, and finally a sixth-grade Divine King.
The Ancestral Dragon Blood Pill could forcibly elevate a cultivator from the Immortal Emperor fifth level to a sixth-grade Divine King without harming the user’s foundation.
Dominant!
That was the terrifying aspect of a twenty-first-grade Divine Pill!
Lu Changsheng felt that due to his inadequate realm, some of the pill’s power leaked out, which is why he only ascended to the stature of a sixth-grade Divine King.
