The God of Heavens

Chapter 491 Ancient Heavenly Dragon Ruins
Lin Yu spoke calmly, the meaning behind his words quite clear.

However, he didn't say much.

After all, he had already figured it out; it seemed that Prince Zhan and Prince Xu did not have much animosity towards each other.

The Great Xuan Dynasty is not easy to govern; even the princes need to form factions!
However, the gods surrounding Prince Zhan are doomed to die.

Just then, an overwhelming aura swept in from afar, arriving in unison.

They are other princes in the Great Xuan Empire.

The eldest prince, the fourth prince, the fifth prince, the seventh prince, and so on, have all cultivated to the Golden Core realm, and they each have more or less recruited experts around them.

It was clearly a fierce battle between dragons and tigers.

Lin Yu stood still. Within the royal family of the Great Xuan Empire, they were now basically divided into two factions.

The first faction was led by the fourth prince, Prince Yi, whose cultivation was the highest among all the princes, and who had gathered many princes under his command.

The second faction was led by the eldest prince, Prince Feng.

Although this prince was the first to be born, his cultivation level was not as high as that of the fourth prince, Prince Yi. However, this prince also had the support of some people.

"Sixteenth brother."

As soon as Prince Yi arrived, he glanced in this direction, his gaze sweeping over Prince Xu before settling on Lin Yu.

Between his eyebrows was a sword-shaped symbol, which seemed ready to fly out at any moment to kill enemies.

"The Formless Sword of Ten Thousand Immortals!"

Lin Yu looked thoughtful upon seeing the symbol.

It seems that Prince Yi has inherited the legacy of the ancient Formless Sword Sect.

The two most famous sword sects in ancient times were the Wusheng Sword Sect and the Wuxing Sword Sect.

The Wusheng Sword Sect is led by a single master who dominates the world, while the Wuxing Sword Sect has a large number of members.

Moreover, each person forges a set of flying sword formations, and their sword-forging methods are unique, invisible, and unparalleled in the world.

This Prince Yi is equally powerful, a master of the Heaven and Earth Dharma Form.

"Fourth brother."

Prince Zhan walked over.

"It seems that Sixteenth Brother has indeed found a good helper recently."

There were also several men in black around Prince Yi.

"Hmph, a Golden Core cultivator is nothing. We, Emperor Shishan, can kill him like slaughtering dogs. Prince Yi, please rest assured, once we enter the secret realm, we will definitely help you kill him completely."

Several men in black standing beside Prince Yi emitted powerful mental fluctuations, seemingly disregarding Lin Yu entirely.

"That's natural, but I can't kill the sixteenth brother yet. If I kill him, I'll be punished too."

Prince Yi nodded, no longer looking at Lin Yu. In his mind, the other party was already a dead man.

Almost all the princes of the Great Xuan Empire are at least at the Celestial Realm level; princes below that level should not even think about participating.

There is absolutely no dignity.

Alongside these princes, many experts were recruited. For example, the eldest prince, Prince Feng, directly invited nine Golden Core experts from the Taiyi Sect this time.

Beside the Second Prince stood a man dressed in black, carrying a sword on his back, with a cold and stern expression.

His cultivation level was actually that of a powerful expert at the ninth level of the Heaven and Earth Dharma Aspect, and he was invited by the Second Prince.

Lin Yu even saw that the eighteenth prince, Prince Sa, had recruited a Golden Core expert, the Green Sheep Ancestor.

This Green Sheep Ancestor is a top-tier figure among rogue cultivators, a Golden Core expert, who founded his own sect and enjoys a great reputation in the rogue cultivator world.

However, the Green Sheep Ancestor only cultivated twelve or thirteen kinds of supernatural powers at the Golden Core stage, which was nothing more than an addition in Lin Yu's eyes.

As Lin Yu sized up the crowd, they were also secretly observing him.

The scene of him casually suppressing Prince Zhan had already been witnessed by everyone.

"That demonic cultivator beside Prince Xu is quite interesting; he actually managed to capture Prince Zhan. However, he will ultimately meet his end before the disciples of my Taiyi Sect!"

Among the Golden Core experts of the Taiyi Sect, one spoke in a cold, low voice.

"That demonic cultivator is doomed, and the others won't survive either! The Second Prince dares to recruit the Black Nether King, a remnant of the Yellow Spring Demonic Sect. He's incredibly audacious. We, the disciples of the Taiyi Sect, should be eliminating demons and protecting the righteous path. Why don't we help the Prince wipe them out in one fell swoop, and then we can share the magical treasures we obtain?" Another renowned disciple chimed in.

"Thank you all, fellow Daoists! With your help, these rogue demonic cultivators can be completely wiped out, which is exactly what I wanted!"

Upon hearing this, the eldest prince, Prince Feng, was overjoyed and secretly transmitted his voice.

"Killing these people will severely damage the other princes' forces, leaving very few who can stand against me. However... could you all take the opportunity to assassinate the Fourth Prince?"

"We cannot interfere in the internal strife within the royal family; that is the rule of our sect. However, it is our duty to slay an old demon like the Black Nether King. Although he has cultivated the Dharma Body of Heaven and Earth, even if he were at the tenth level of supernatural power, he would still be unable to escape death if my nine senior brothers joined forces!"

"So good!"

Just then, a boat-shaped beam of light appeared in the sky, with many figures moving about, exuding immense pressure.

"The rules for this expedition remain the same! We will guard the ancient teleportation array. You may enter to search for treasure, but please proceed with extreme caution—Set off!"

At a command, thousands of royal family members took to the air and sped away into the distance with the luminous flying boat.

Lin Yu also followed Prince Xu as he flew through the air.

The flying boat was clearly a mid-grade Dao artifact. It was obvious that the royal elders carried this important artifact to guard against the underground demons causing trouble.

The underground world is the territory of the demon race, and it is home to many powerful figures from the Longevity Realm, with countless experts at the Divine Power Realm under their command.

Treasure hunting requires utmost caution.

After flying for several hours, a huge gaping maw appeared in the distance, like the open fangs of an ancient giant.

The royal airship swooped down first, its thousands of sword lights and magical artifacts illuminating the underground.

This torrent swept through, and even the greatest giants of all ages had to avoid its sharp edge.

The princes were familiar with the route and showed no fear.

The Great Xuan Empire frequently organizes such expeditions, which serve to both demonstrate its military might and plunder resources, as well as to assess the potential of its princes.

The underground space was vast and boundless, and an ancient teleportation array stood before us.

"Elites of the Great Xuan Empire, go! Within twelve hours, bring back the magical treasures and slay all the demons!"

"As ordered!"

As the light shimmered, members of the royal family entered the secret realm one after another. Lin Yu followed Prince Xu into the realm, his figure disappearing into the formation.

"I wonder what extraordinary encounters the princes will have on Dragon Jade Star this time? This star was originally the stronghold of the ancient dragon race, but it was invaded by the Heavenly Demons and became a wasteland after thousands of years of fierce fighting," an elder said, stroking his beard.

"Dragons love to hoard treasures, and the princes are sure to find something. I wonder who will come out on top?"

"Let them make a scene! The more they make a scene, the more qualified the victor will be to inherit the throne. The emperor of my Great Xuan Empire must surpass all others and achieve the state of immortality!"

"Let's wait and see... The most urgent task is to guard against the attack of the Heavenly Demon."

……

While the elders were discussing, Lin Yu and Prince Xu had already arrived at the ruins via the ancient teleportation array.

Before me stretched an endless primeval forest, even more ancient and desolate than the wilderness.

Towering trees, their canopies blocking out the sun, filled the air with a peculiar aura. It seemed to subtly transform the bodies of living beings, causing them to metamorphose into another form of life.

"Dragon Breath?"

Within Lin Yu's body, the ancient Heavenly Dragon bloodline trembled slightly, every cell rejoicing.

At the same time, inside the Divine Cauldron, Xuanlong and Bingyi were also awakened from their cultivation, their faces filled with intoxication.

He instantly grasped the true nature of this secret realm.

The relics related to dragon breath must be related to the ancient celestial dragon.

The Heavenly Dragon is a far more powerful existence than ordinary immortality realms.

Dragons are born with a love for roaming the stars, collecting cosmic treasures, and taming powerful monsters to guard their treasures.

Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Yu opened his mouth and exhaled a stream of air that enveloped Prince Xu. In a flash, he disappeared from the spot.

"So fast!"

The thirteenth prince, Prince Zhan, had been secretly watching, and his pupils constricted upon seeing this.

The Fourth Prince calmly replied, "It's alright. Dragon Jade Star was originally the lair of an ancient celestial dragon. The dragon people once established a vast empire here, with countless treasures. But finding the treasure and taking it away are two different things."

An invisible stream of sword energy swirled around him, enveloping the Prince of War and silently disappearing into the energy.

Thousands of miles away, Lin Yu had already stopped above a strange lake.

Prince Xu gazed at the rare medicinal herbs scattered throughout the forest beneath his feet and exclaimed in amazement. Some of these varieties were even unknown in the Xuanhuang Great World.

If one of these medicinal herbs can be refined into an elixir, it can extend one's lifespan by a hundred years!
However, these medicinal herbs already possess spiritual power, making them extremely difficult for ordinary cultivators to capture.

Lin Yu casually grabbed it, and as the Five Emperors Great Demon Divine Power was activated, the spiritual herb froze in place and was instantly absorbed into the Five Prisons King Cauldron.

"Medicinal herbs are just the most common resources here, there's no need to waste time."

Lin Yu sensed the fluctuations of the five elements' energy in the world, and no treasure with even a slightly stronger aura could escape his perception.

The White Emperor Golden Emperor Slash and the Great Devouring Technique were activated simultaneously!

His figure transformed into a bolt of lightning that tore through the void, swallowing up all the air currents in his path and creating a vacuum channel.

No one in the entire secret realm could match his speed; wherever he went, treasures were taken into his possession.

Prince Xu was enveloped in vital energy and flew at high speed, feeling dizzy and disoriented.

Lin Yu transmitted his voice, "Your Highness, you are too slow. Once I have collected the important treasures, I will share them with you."

“Fine…” Prince Xu had no choice but to accept his fate.

If Lin Yu hadn't carried him, he wouldn't have even been able to get a drink of soup at his current speed.

Boom!

A heavy atmosphere emanated from the southeast, like the breath of a giant mountain.

A lake spanning hundreds of miles came into view, with a solitary, blood-red peak standing in its center.

The lake is unfathomably deep, concealing a menacing atmosphere.

Prince Xu was overjoyed: "Blood Dragon Crystals! The entire mountain is made of Blood Dragon Crystals! If I can extract dragon blood from them, my lifespan will increase by at least a thousand years, and my magical power will also skyrocket!"

Dragons are completely different from humans. They are born with long lifespans, strong bodies, and are adept at both offense and defense.

Even dragons in the realm of supernatural powers can live for countless years.

"These are really good things, I'll take them all."

A sharp glint flashed in Lin Yu's eyes, and he reached out and grabbed—

With the power of a billion horses, the entire Blood Dragon Crystal Mountain was uprooted!

The power to uproot mountains!

Capture the peak barehanded!

This Blood Dragon Crystal Mountain was incredibly heavy; ordinary cultivators at the ninth or tenth level of supernatural powers couldn't move it at all, and could only break it apart and slowly collect the crystals.

But Lin Yu's current magical power is enough to move mountains and fill seas!
Boom!

The entire mountain peak was thrown into the State Treasure Cauldron.

"My God! What is this?!"

Xuanlong and Bingyi looked at the mountain peak shrouded in dragon breath descending from the sky, filled with joy and surprise, but dared not make a move.

This is the master's harvest.

"You should absorb and refine this energy first to increase your strength. This expedition will also require the help of your luck," Lin Yu transmitted his voice.

The two dragons were immediately overjoyed.

The moment the Blood Dragon Crystal Mountain was taken away, the lake surface suddenly boiled!
Countless enormous black shadows burst forth from the water, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and columns of water shot into the sky.

Hundreds of giant black pythons appeared and disappeared in the dark clouds.

"Blackwater King Serpent! It's actually an ancient, primordial species!" Prince Xu gasped in shock.

These Blackwater King Serpents are imbued with the aura of the ancient Heavenly Dragon. Although they have not yet formed their Golden Cores, and the strongest among them is only at the fifth level of the Divine Power Realm, their magical power is all in the millions, comparable to ordinary Golden Core cultivators.

With so many king serpents appearing at once, they are enough to surround and kill even a Golden Core expert!

Lin Yu remained unfazed as he unleashed the Great Sealing Technique, instantly transforming all the King Serpents into sealing crystals that disappeared into the State Cauldron.

"stop!"

"Bastard!"

Two streaks of light rushed in—the Second Prince and the Black Nether King had arrived!

"Blood Dragon Crystal Peak! Black Water King Serpent! They're all gone!" Black Nether King's eyes were bloodshot.

They were just one step too slow and missed out on such a treasure!
Each of those king serpents is worth tens of millions, and the entire Blood Dragon Crystal Mountain is worth billions. There may also be an ancient celestial dragon treasure hidden beneath it...

"Dark Primordial Spirit!"

With a roar, the Black Nether King unleashed a dark demonic shadow above his head, surrounded by twenty-nine kinds of demonic divine abilities. His demonic claws grew to the size of mountains, sweeping towards Lin Yu with overwhelming force!
"Even ants dare to compete for glory?"

Just as Lin Yu was about to investigate the Dragon Palace at the bottom of the lake, he saw that the Black Nether King dared to make a move, so he unleashed a Great Severing Technique in return!
"What?! The Great Severing Technique! And it's even reached the Great Perfection?!" The Black Nether King was horrified.

That pitch-black crack instantly tore through the demonic claws and slashed towards his Heaven and Earth Dharma Form!
If his Dharma image is destroyed, he will surely die!
In a single move, the Black Nether King, who possessed the power of the ninth level of supernatural abilities, found himself in a deadly predicament!

"Demon Sacrifice Technique!"

At the critical moment of life and death, the Black Nether King violently shook his left arm, causing his entire arm to explode into a rain of blood that merged into his dark primordial spirit.

The demonic shadow surged tenfold, transforming into black light as it attempted to escape.

"Can you escape?"

Lin Yu spread his five fingers, and endless sword energy surged forth!

The killing intent of the Great Slaughter Technique almost materialized, freezing the void. The Black Nether King felt his soul stiffen and his supernatural powers sluggish.

"No! I'll self-destruct too..."

He finally realized he had kicked a hornet's nest, but it was too late!
The Great Slaughter Technique instantly severely damaged his physical body and dharma form, and then the chains of the Great Sealing Technique rattled as they dragged the dark figure into a giant cauldron.
