C68 (1/2)
Outside of the Ancient Desolate Sky Tomb, the faces of the elders from the four major sects were currently gloomy. They were currently staring at the consecutive pile of life tablets in their hands as intense waves of killing intent surged from their bodies.
”Who, who could it be, has consecutively killed more than half of the disciples of the four great sects within this half month!” At the side of the old man standing atop the kite, layers of thunderous clouds gathered together. The thunderclouds seethed and surged with his fury, as thunderbolts containing destructive might gushed out from them.
The elders leading the other three sects didn't say anything, but it was obvious that their eyes were full of anger as well. This person who dared to kill their disciples was simply too much.
”As far as I know, around this Shiwan Mountain, there are not many clans with the ability to cultivate such strong cultivators. It can be counted on one hand, and to these clans, the Heaven's Pride that can kill the cultivators of the Four Major Sects is something they would never be willing to release.”
”A single Sky Desolate Mystic Realm isn't enough for them to take the risk. Then, who has the guts to make an enemy out of my four great sects?”
The old man standing on the floating treasure ship pondered, wanting to deduce a clue. However, no matter how they calculated it, they would never imagine that the person who killed their disciples was a young man and woman.
Phew, Lian Chengyue let out a long exhale of Turbid Air, and looked at the cultivator beside his feet that was slowly collapsing. With a thought, a ball of white-gold flames smashed onto the corpse, burning it without leaving a single trace.
”Hong Ling, as far as I know, the number of people from the Four Major Sects that have entered the Ancient Desolate Mystic Realm this time around does not exceed a hundred. Now that we have already killed nearly half of them, shouldn't we stop?” Lian Chengyue asked.
Hong Ling nodded his head. Actually, he did not want to kill the cultivators from the Four Major Sects either. However, these fellows were like mad dogs, able to find traces of them.
”These guys, how on earth did they know that we were the killers of their own kind? Could it be that they have some sort of secret skill?” Hong Ling thought for a while, then sent his consciousness into his body to carefully search.
If he guessed right, there must have been some kind of imprint on his and Lian Chengyue's bodies. These imprints, when they killed the cultivators from the Four Major Sects, would silently be imprinted into their bodies;
”Hmm? ”So that's how it is!” Hong Ling looked at the small killing mark that was currently floating in his dantian, and a secretly happy expression flashed across his eyes.
”Ah Yue, before the Four Major Sects' cultivators died, they left a killing mark in our dantian. We must erase it in order to get rid of these bastards!” With a thought from Hong Ling, a small wisp of the Heavenly Desolate Sacred Flame appeared in his dantian and immediately burned the imprint.
Lian Chengyue followed suit, and very quickly, he burned the imprint on his own dantian, and the two of them quickly flew away, disappearing into the distance in the blink of an eye. In a short fifteen minutes, the few cultivators stopped, their eyes gloomy.
”The mark has actually disappeared. Could it be that the two people who killed our fellow disciples have disappeared?” Shangguan Qinghong stared at the grass in front of her, trying to find something, but she could not find anything, not even the remains of her fellow sect members.
The people following behind him also had doubtful expressions. To be able to kill nearly fifty cultivators from the four great sects in just a few short days, the strength of these two individuals was definitely not inferior to theirs.
However, if they did not have the cultivation of Spirit Refinement and were unable to erase the imprint on their bodies, could it be that these two really met a powerful Bone Beast and died without a burial?
At this moment, the cultivators of the four major sects within the Ancient Desolation tomb were all panicking and no one dared to act alone. They were afraid that they would run into the fiend who dared to kill their fellow sect members.
Unfortunately, after burning the mark, Hong Ling and Lian Chengyue had lost the interest to fight …
”Now, look at our spoils of war!” In a concealed location within the Heavenly Desolate Secret Realm, Lian Chengyue giggled and casually took out the spoils of war that he had plundered during the past few days.
Fifty interspatial rings, countless gold and silver, some jade and jewelry, and even some extremely rare spirit stones.
Hong Ling picked up the diamond-shaped stone and studied it carefully. This was a legendary Spirit Stone, containing a vast amount of Spiritual Power s, which could be directly absorbed by cultivators and turned into Authentic Qi s. There was no need to worry about the mixed problems of Spiritual Qi.
These Spirit Stones were at least two hundred Spirit Stones, although each of them were only the size of a thumb, it was enough for Hong Ling and Lian Chengyue.
”Ah Yue, this gold, silver, jade and the like. As long as it can be refined using the Heavenly Sacred Flame, I think we should refine it first. The youth said with a smile.
”Kun Steel?” Lian Chengyue's eyes flashed, ”You mean the Kun Steel used to create ancient Divine Equipment?”
Hong Ling nodded his head. Kun Steel s were the most powerful divine crystals in the world, formed from profound crystals, gold crystals, secret silver, jade marrow, copper crystals and a few other things.
In ancient times, there were Human Clan alchemists who forged the first Kun Steel, using this to create the first Diamond Gem, and then killing the Ancient Demon King. In an instant, the name of the Kun Steel resounded like a thunderclap, the Kun Steel was not an immutable metal, as long as they gathered at least nine different types of divine materials, they could start forging.
If he were to come across other divine materials in the future, he could still smelt them and raise the quality of the Kun Steel.
The two of them found a huge palace and closed the door. They then started to smelt the materials in their hands. There were piles of gold, silver, and even jade, only leaving a small amount of crystals.
These crystals, if placed outside the Ancient Tomb of Everlast's secret realm, would cause huge waves. A whole nine days later, Hong Ling and Lian Chengyue's eyes were bloodshot as they stared at the various ingredients placed in front of them, their eyes filled with pleasant surprise.
From the decorations of the palace to the throne, there were also those bronze lamps, iron gates, and even rotten armor and weapons. Hong Ling and Lian Chengyue spent days and nights collecting and smelting them, and finally, on the ninth day, they gathered all nine types of divine materials.
”Gold, mithril, profound crystal, copper crystal, jade marrow, space crystal, demon crystal refined from Demonic Beast's inner core combined with spirit stone and our blood. I think it should be enough!” Hong Ling stared at the seven types of crystals in front of him, and instantly changed into a dragon form. Using his fingers as a sword, he cut through the Dragon Scale, leaving behind a ball of dragon blood essence the size of a fist in the air.
Seeing him like that, Lian Chengyue summoned out her phoenix wings without hesitation, and with a light stroke on top of the phoenix wings, she retrieved a ball of phoenix blood essence.
Under normal circumstances, the blood essence within their bloodlines would not be extracted, but they themselves could cut off the connection to the blood essence to obtain it. However, doing so would harm their foundation.
Both of them had gathered blood essence without damaging their foundation. Although it was only the size of a fist, it was still comparable to those crystals.
