Tushan Qing was extremely cautious, cautious to the extreme, even when holding the upper hand, he didn't reveal his identity.
The Gambling Fox Tushan Qing smiled triumphantly, his voice filled with pride.
In a battle between masters, a thin margin can mean a vast chasm, let alone the reversal of the gap by thirty percent in an instant?
Why had the Gambling Fox Tushan Qing endured until now? Wasn't it all for today?
Today, the masters of the Northern Land gather here, the perfect opportunity to capture all the masters of the Northern Land in one net!
Yet with the cunning of the Gambling Fox, even with a foolproof plan, he didn't want to reveal his identity. Despite intending to annihilate the human masters, he insisted on shouting about annihilating the demon masters.
"Chai Chuanxin, are you mad? Holding the Dragon Pearl and babbling nonsense, why don't you just throw the Dragon Pearl over?" A cultivator of the Confucian sect saw Chai Chuanxin clutching the Dragon Pearl and speaking deliriously, unable to resist admonishing him.
Chai Chuanxin glanced at that Confucian cultivator, who was his uncle, always flaunting his seniority, constantly pointing fingers and oppressing him.
"Old fool, I'll start with you later." Murderous intent brewed in Chai Chuanxin's heart. Just as he indulged in these thoughts, suddenly, cries of misery erupted behind him. The aura of all the demon race powerhouses suddenly deflated, their strength plummeting by more than thirty percent.
All the demon race powerhouses stared at Chai Chuanxin in disbelief, confused by the chaos he caused. The treasure clearly meant to enhance strength, yet upon reaching them, it actually diminished the power of the demons?
In an instant, cries of misery from the demon race sounded continuously. Some demon powerhouses were killed outright, others lost arms or legs, and some were directly killed by various divine techniques, the cries unceasing.
"Run quickly!" Bai Cang sensed something amiss, immediately turning to flee without hesitation, while other demon kings also retreated hastily with wounds.
Animals are the most cunning; at the slightest sign of trouble, they swiftly disengage and flee.
However, the human powerhouses focused their gaze on the Dragon Pearl, none pursued the demon powerhouses, allowing the demon cultivators to escape disaster.
The troubles of the demon race affect all humanity, while the creation of the Dragon Pearl is their own, a distinction all the human powerhouses can clearly make.
Chai Chuanxin stood dumbfounded on the spot, the Dragon Pearl slipped from his hand, seized by a Zhenren of the Yellow Heaven Dao, leaving Chai Chuanxin standing there, bewildered, his eyes filled with bitterness: "It shouldn't be like this! How could this happen?"
Clearly, as long as he sacrificially refined the treasure, the demon race's power would surge by thirty percent, then the demon powerhouses would unleash divine might and slaughter all the human powerhouses. But why was reality completely different from his intentions? How did such a situation arise?
"This is a disaster, when the demon race ancestors inquire in the future, how should I explain it? Will they think I've already betrayed the demon race and joined the human race?" Chai Chuanxin looked at the demon race individuals fleeing with heads down, feeling a deep sense of melancholy.
Certainly, though the demon powerhouses' strength diminished by thirty percent, it didn't mean the demon powerhouses were easy to deal with; as long as they were determined to leave, it was difficult for human powerhouses to forcibly keep them.
"These human powerhouses are driven by greed; such a perfect opportunity to annihilate the demon masters was wasted in vain, truly regrettable!" Zhang Chen muttered, his voice full of helplessness.
If the human powerhouses joined forces, most demon powerhouses would fall in the Northern Land, striking a heavy blow to the demon race, preventing them from crossing the White Bone Great Wall for centuries.
Unfortunately, no one would fight to the death for the sake of humanity!
The purple-glowing Dragon Pearl passed through the void, and with the departure of the demon powerhouses, the human powerhouses fell into another round of internal struggle, unwilling to miss this amazing opportunity.
Zhang Chen stood silently in the distance watching, even Zhou Chuan, the number one in the Martial Dao, bore numerous bloodied scars, with one arm nearly severed, demonstrating the intensity of the struggle, as none wanted to give up.
That was the hope of the Tenth Tier!
Despite many ninth-tier Divine Spirits, even tenth-tier Divine Spirits having already emerged, Divine Spirits are ultimately hastily formed by Incense Faith, incomparable to bloodline powerhouses or Divine Soul Dao powerhouses.
Like a fattened chicken compared to a country chicken, the gap between them is as vast as heaven and earth.
This chase had been fought from day to night, and from night back to day, the rain growing ever more fierce, while the contest among the people in the downpour revealed every trump card opened ruthlessly.
Finally, at a certain moment, the Dragon Pearl fell into the hands of Great Zhenren Gu Mingyue of the Yellow Heaven Dao. Gu Mingyue held the Dragon Pearl, his face appearing sinister and bizarre under the purple Dragon Pearl.
"The Dragon Pearl is already the treasure of my Yellow Heaven Dao. If you continue to fight over it, you will be the enemy of my Yellow Heaven Dao." Gu Mingyue lifted the Dragon Pearl in front of his chest, looking solemnly at those present:
"If you are not afraid of my Yellow Heaven Dao's retribution later, feel free to act."
He intended to rely on the title of Great Virtuous Master and the Twelve True People to frighten away the external enemies.
Gu Mingyue's approach indeed worked. As soon as his words fell, the various powerhouses chasing the Dragon Pearl stopped their actions, with a hint of dread in their eyes.
On the other side, a flow of divine light swirled within the White Lotus Sect elder's sleeve, with a hint of reluctance in his eyes, but ultimately, he did not make a move.
The strength of the White Lotus Sect was ultimately a significant distance behind that of the Yellow Heaven Dao, which boasted twelve ninth-tier powerhouses, much more profound than the White Lotus Sect.
The people from the bloodline noble families also displayed fearful expressions. The deterrent power of the Yellow Heaven Dao on various noble families wasn't small.
Especially since the Yellow Heaven Dao had mastered the method of consecrating Natural Gods, no family wanted to offend them.
Seeing the dispute in the scene gradually settle, Gu Mingyue felt secretly pleased. With this Dragon Pearl, he had the hope of breaking through to the tenth tier. By then, even if he established his rule over the Northern Land independently, he would have more confidence facing the Great Virtuous Master.
"Much appreciated, this grace today, my Yellow Heaven Dao will not dare forget..." Gu Mingyue was holding the Dragon Pearl and exchanging pleasantries with others, but who knew at this time a thunderclap sounded in the void, and then the Penalty Spear came out of nowhere, swiftly cutting through the void and directly striking the Dragon Pearl. Before anyone could react, the basketball-sized Dragon Pearl exploded, shattering into thousands of pieces that scattered in all directions.
It was the Chief Eunuch who took action, hiding in the shadows, resolving the situation at the crucial moment.
Seeing the Dragon Pearl shattering into countless pieces, the human strongmen didn't hesitate, all rushing towards the Dragon Pearl fragments.
"Move!"
Someone shouted, and everyone started catching the Dragon Pearl fragments continuously.
The purple Dragon Pearl fragments kept flying around, some rushing to the skies, some falling into the water, and others sweeping across the distant mountains and wilderness like meteors, quickly disappearing between the mountains.
"No matter who, once they obtain the Dragon Pearl fragment, they will rise to power, gaining part of the True Dragon's bloodline talent. That Dragon Pearl explosion, turning into countless shards, carries fortune. Whoever obtains it will have a turn of fate." Zhang Chen watched those shards of purple light shooting away, with a serious look in his eyes.
"That Chief Eunuch is skillful!" Zhang Chen secretly praised, feeling more pleased about Gu Mingyue's misfortune than he would have if he had gotten the Dragon Pearl himself.
Moreover, those shattered purple Dragon Pearl fragments seemed to contain some mysterious spirituality, automatically dodging all the hunters. Those purple fragments moved extremely fast, making pursuit difficult.
Zhang Chen saw a purple fragment shooting past him like a meteor, trying to reach out to catch it, but the purple fragment made a sharp turn, slipping away from his fingertips.
Each shard was like a nimble sprite, emitting tremendous vitality as if containing unknown wisdom.
"My Escape Technique can't catch up with these purple fragments, but I wonder if my True Dragon Qi can attract the surrounding purple fragments to gather." Zhang Chen's mind flickered with thoughts, and in the next moment, True Dragon Qi surged around him. As the True Dragon Qi encircled, a True Dragon fragment, passing by Zhang Chen, suddenly braked sharply, made a one-eighty-degree turn, slowed down, and willingly approached Zhang Chen's front, hovering in front of his chest.
It was a pebble-sized True Dragon fragment, humming lightly, twinkling like a small star, exuding astonishing spirituality.
Zhang Chen slowly extended his hand, and the purple fragment automatically landed in his palm, easily grasped by him. Then Zhang Chen's Dragon Qi seemed to come alive, emanating a desire, and he released his hand. The golden light-emitting grain-sized Dragon Pearl within his True Dragon Qi absorbed the purple Dragon Pearl fragment, which transformed into a mist and got absorbed as nourishment for the golden Dragon Pearl.
"My True Dragon Qi is somewhat odd. It's not just birthing a Dragon Pearl, but it also seems to have unknown resonances converging within, truly making one feel amazed." Zhang Chen curiously sensed his Dragon Pearl.
Yet, after his grain-sized golden Dragon Pearl absorbed the Dragon Pearl fragment, there wasn't any apparent change, as if the tiny piece wasn't enough to cause the True Dragon Qi to undergo a transformation.
However, with Zhang Chen releasing True Dragon Qi, more than a dozen purple Dragon Pearl fragments, like swallows returning to their nests, gathered before Zhang Chen, quietly hovering there for Zhang Chen's disposal.
"There's potential here!"
Zhang Chen mused secretly, directly feeding the purple Dragon Pearl fragments to his True Dragon Qi. But before Zhang Chen could finish feeding them, he heard the sound of breaking air as another dozen purple streaks of light automatically joined in, hovering in front of Zhang Chen as if they were obedient little beings.
