CHAPTER 329: TREASURY OF EARTH DEVIL CULT

*ROAAARRRR*

The ancient wyrm looked at the sky and let out a powerful roar. A burst of demonic aura erupted from his body, creating oppressive pressure on the surroundings.

" All disciples! Fall back! The ancient wyrm is using bloodline suppression!" Long Ming shouted. Other than Lin Xie and Ming Yuexin, everyone retreated hurriedly.

" Ughh! This damned beast!" Ming Yuexin gritted her teeth as she felt a strange oppression in her body. It felt like her blood was turning cold, urging her to submit.

The bloodline pressure is a powerful ability that allows the user to dominate those with lesser cultivation and common bloodlines. The ancient wyrm had already reached the doorsteps of the Nine Transformation of Soul Realm. Along with its ancient bloodline, it could even oppress the cultivators at the same realm.

*BOOOM! BOOOOM!*

Ground exploded as the entire forest rumbled. The ancient wyrm swung its tail, shooting out countless silver rays. Wu Liang snorted as she raised her sword. Flames gathered around her as they formed into golden swords, swirling around her like a protective barrier.

*BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!*

The silver lights bombarded the protective field, each stronger than the one before. With Long Ming’s Heavenly Revelation Eyes, he could see the inside of the silver lights. Those were actually the scales of the ancient wyrms!

’ Tsk, those scales are really terrifying. A single one of them could be refined into Xuan Grade treasures.’ Long Ming couldn’t help but smack his lips.

However, he didn’t interfere, as Wu Liang was more than enough for the ancient wyrm. The ancient wrym suddenly moved as the ground split apart. Streams of water erupted as theyr turned into gigantic dragons, swarming towards Wu Liang.

" Sky Burning Rupture!"

As Wu Liang raised her sword, a burst of white flames covered the sky. Clouds torn apart by the single slash of the sword, as if a knife had cleanly cut through a block of tofu.

The ancient wyrm snorted as its scales shone with a pale silver radiance. The slash phased through its body like a beam of light, leaving a trail of splattered blood behind. However, the deep cut on the ancient wyrm’s body slowly started to heal as it shot towards Wu Liang.

Its body moved like a flowing dragon as it charged to the sky. Raising its claws, it expanded like a gigantic pavilion, descending from the sky on Wu Liang.

Wu Liang’s sword turned into a burning pillar of flames, the sword intent pulsed through it like a tidal wave as it clashed against the claw of the ancient wyrm, the surrounding air rippling by the aftershocks.

Suddenly, black shadows streaked across the sky as it chained the body of the ancient wyrm. Meng Zhi raised her sword as he body moved gracefully.

" Sword Chains of Darkness!"

*PLUFFF! PLUFF! PLUFF!*

The shadow chains around the body of the ancient wyrm manifested into physical form as they wrapped its body like a fence, chains trapping its body, and the small swords stabbed into its body like stakes.

" Grand Elder! I can’t hold it for long!"

Meng Zhi shouted as she maintained her technique. After all, her strength was lower than Wu Liang, who could contend against a Nine Transformation of Soul Realm cultivator with a Royal grade weapon.

" Yuexin, watch carefully. You will learn a lot from this."

Wu Liang’s voice echoed as she jumped into the sky, the energy of heaven and earth surged around her. Her surroundings started to become hazy, as if the mirage that distorts the view of the atmosphere when the heat is great.

That’s the power of Harmonization Realm cultivators, who can endlessly draw the power from the world and use it according their will. Wu Liang became the personification of scorching summer as she raised her sword.

The sky burst with flames, as if a fiery tide rolling amidst the clouds. Vortex of flames appeared in the sky as thousands and thousands of sword made from pure flames appeared.

" DESCEND!"

*BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!*

The Raging Storm Wings appeared on Long Ming’s back as his body turned into a blur. He quickly hugged the nearby female disciples and dragged them away.

Mu Qinglian also moved as she remained vigilant to protect the disciples.

*ROAARRRR!*

The ancient wyrm screamed as the flaming sword rained on its body. Each stab wound burned with flames, reducing the healing power of the ancient wyrm into nothing.

*BOOM! BOOM!*

The ancient wyrm tried to escape, but Meng Zhi made her move. Pitch black wind blew as her sword streaked like a ghost spreading its claws, crushing down on the injured ancient wyrm.

*WHOOSHHH!*

A ghastly shadow arc blinked, severing the head of the ancient wyrm. Meng Zhi wiped her from as she stabbed the skull of the ancient wyrm, pulling out a glowing core.

" Wow, the inner core of the ancient wyrm is brimming with energy." Meng Zhi smacked her lips. " We killed it quickly enough before it overdraw power from the core, else it would have been damaged."

Wu Liang descended from the sky as she sheathed her sword. " Yuexin, did you learn anything?"

" Yes, Master." Ming Yuexin cupped her fist. " Though, if you had used the Scorching Summer Sword, you could have killed it faster."

" That’s a fabled weapon of Empress Cimson Sky, which still contains her energy. The more you use it, the more the energy gets depleted. Hence, I used my own refined Royal grade weapon instead." Wu Liang smiled.

" The Scorching Summer Sword is something only you should use. It will be more beneficial for you." Wu Liang smiled.

Long Ming walked to the corpse as he pulled out a small dagger. His hands moved as the dagger flashed with a sharp glint. His sword intent hummed as it struck the body of the ancient wyrm.

Within a few minutes, he deboned the entire body, beautifully preserving the skin of the ancient wyrm. After all, his ability as Divine Tailor was best suited to deal with corpses and separate materials from the body.

Long Ming stood up as he held the inner core of the ancient wyrm. " Well, I guess I understand what we have to do."

" Follow me, we are almost there."

Reaching a place, Long Ming used his divine sense. He could see many powerful presence around himself, slowly approaching them.

’ Looks like the battle has attracted unwanted attention. Luckily, we have reached the place.’ Long Ming swept his fingers as he activated the Crimson Blood Demonic Art and drew out the power from the inner core.

Swiftly, he inscribed the energy pathway of the Crimson Blood Demonic Art on the wall. Everyone was stunned when they saw the door lighting up with demonic runes.

With a loud rumble, the wall cracked, revealing a gigantic bronze door within. Long Ming smiled as he pushed the door inside.

Looking at the surroundings, Meng Zhi found a plaque. Her brows were raised as she exclaimed in surprise.

" This is...this is the treasury of the Earth Devil Cult of the Southern Domain!"

" Oh, you know them?" Long Ming was surprised as he asked Meng Zhi. Meng Zhi nodded, " The Earth Devil Cult was one of the leading figures of the Southern Province who attacked the Eastern Province during the great war of orthodox and unorthodox factions."

"Unfortunately, their entire sect was wiped out, and the Ghost Moon Sect used it to create their dominance."

Long Ming sighed with sympathy. " Well, that was indeed very sad."

" But anyway, since there is no owner of this treasure, I believe we can only take this on their behalf. It’s free real estate after all."
