Chapter 654: Chapter 193: Divinity Transformation Scheme_2
Earth Ash narrated the specific situation, immediately causing an uproar.
“Did I hear wrong? Is it truly the Luminous Heart Blood?”
“This is one of the heart blood types of Earth Element Demon Cultivators. Left behind by the Ginseng Whisker Dragon King, it must be at the Transforming Spirit Level.”
“Not only is there Luminous Heart Blood, but there is also Ginseng Root Wall Soil. This soil is extremely fertile, full of life force, a perfect foundation for Spirit Plants.”
“But what is that huge dragon-shaped talisman that the White-Clad Ghost mentioned?”
An old man with profound knowledge dispelled the doubt: “It should be the Dragon Vessel Text.”
“This time, the enemy deployed the Iron Stream Plains military art, consuming heavily. Du Tiechuan didn’t hesitate to invoke the Liangzhu Country dragon veins to power the parade platform.”
“Therefore, Iron Stream Plains naturally carries the might of the dragon veins.”
“Du Tiechuan and his Heavy Armor main force, advancing relentlessly, means the dragon veins are simultaneously making significant progress.”
“Especially in his clashes with the Dragon King, the power of the dragon veins continuously pours out, eroding the surrounding environment, leaving behind the Dragon Vessel Text.”
“Of course, only parts of the text are left on the battlefield, each a dragon-shaped rune.”
“On the path where the main force charged through, there must also be dragon-shaped runes hidden.”
“We must find these runes and detach them from the earth veins of the Thousand Peak Forest!”
Though the Thousand Peak Forest is part of Liangzhu Country’s territory, Liangzhu Country has always lacked control over it, due to the mountains, rivers, and so on being occupied by local gods and not integrated into the national dragon veins.
The dragon vein runes form the Dragon Vessel Text. Once the text is marked and infiltrates the mountains and rivers of the Thousand Peak Forest, it will diminish the authority and power of the local gods, eventually absorbing the entire forest as part of itself.
Numerous cultivators looked solemn, and upon hearing the explanation, they expressed their desire to contribute to the Thousand Peak Forest and immediately went to search for the dragon vein runes.
Everyone’s enthusiasm was fully ignited, as the dragon vein runes were also rare treasures of high value and unique use.
Soon, a large group of cultivators left the camp and dashed out of the encampment.
Chen Lingfeng’s face turned white with anger.
Lu Hongtu watched the backs of Heaven and Earth Twin Ghosts leaving quickly, his eyes deep.
Chen Lingfeng transmitted thoughts with Divine Sense: “Lu Hongtu, now the remaining people are less than ten. When Lord Long returns, you answer his questioning!”
Lu Hongtu smiled and lightly clapped his hands: “Gentlemen, next, let’s discuss attacking the subsequently following troops of Liangzhu Country.”
“Currently, the main Heavy Armor forces of Liangzhu Country are busy stripping their iron flesh armor, in the phase of recovery.”
“The subsequent forces of Liangzhu Country are those who failed to meet the selection standards and were eliminated. We need to annihilate this force completely!”
“If we let them regroup, it would be our dereliction of duty.”
Lu Hongtu’s proposal received full approval from the remaining cultivators.
These people were almost all barbarian cultivators.
Compared to those evil and unconventional practitioners running into the Thousand Peak Forest from outside to hide from disaster, and the free-spirited demon cultivators, the main local inhabitants of the forest were barbarian cultivators.
The gods worshipped by barbarians are also staunch defenders of the forest, occupying its mountains and waters.
This group is the most loyal and reliable backbone.
“However, even if we can annihilate the subsequent troops, it will just be a minor matter.”
“The real key to this great war remains the contest of Divinity Transformation.”
“Old Monster in Stone, it’s up to your actions!”
Lu Hongtu had a clear and profound understanding of the situation.
At the edge of the battlefield for the great war.
The Mechanical Dragon shrank small, hidden among dense tree crowns.
Sun Lingtong eagerly took out the corpse of the Old Monster in Stone: “Next, it’s our turn to act.”
However, at the next moment, Ning Zhuo’s finger felt pain.
Mechanical Ring!
“Hmm?!” Ning Zhuo was instantly horrified.
The Mechanical Ring’s contraction force was unprecedented, almost feeling like it would break his finger bones.
“Wait!” Ning Zhuo immediately called out, stopping Sun Lingtong.
Sun Lingtong looked at him in confusion, seeing Ning Zhuo raise his hand.
The Mechanical Ring squeezed Ning Zhuo’s finger deformedly.
Sun Lingtong and Ning Zhuo were not only life-long friends but were naturally aware of the Mechanical Ring’s details. His pupils instantly narrowed, speculating: “The Mechanical Ring is warning us? Telling us that if we continue this action, we will suffer a severe misfortune?”
Ning Zhuo looked at the Mechanical Ring: “I think it’s more prudent not to move out as the Old Monster in Stone anymore.”
Seemingly sensing Ning Zhuo’s change of mind, the Mechanical Ring instantly returned to normal.
Sun Lingtong’s face turned solemn, no longer joking around.
His thoughts animatedly grasped the crucial point: “Oh, I understand.”
“What happened previously on Bikong Mountain has probably been leaked.”
“That Void Evil God’s bone is a more covert existence, having been stored there for years without anyone knowing this secret. The Old Monster in Stone would therefore be assessed as a Transforming Spirit Level existence.”
Ning Zhuo nodded and continued: “Originally, the campaign in the Thousand Peak Forest was merely the contest of Divinity Transformation between the Ginseng Whisker Dragon King and Du Tiechuan.”
“The Transforming Spirit Level national beast, the Double-headed Badger, had shown in previous battles that it was not the key factor.”
“So, the Old Monster in Stone, a Transforming Spirit Level demon cultivator standing outside, has become a wary existence for both sides!”
Sun Lingtong sighed: “The Old Monster in Stone and the Ginseng Whisker Dragon King have similar origins, besides, the former is widely known for swallowing Dividing Treasure Rock fragments.”
“If we play the role and rush into the battlefield, we might be targeted one after another by Du Tiechuan and the Ginseng Whisker Dragon King.”
With this conversation, both Sun Ning broke out in a cold sweat.
“In that case, although the previous battle between Du Tiechuan and the Ginseng Whisker Dragon King was fierce, with blood in every move, both still held back.”
“After all, they were also always guarding against the Old Monster in Stone.”
“The escape of the Ginseng Whisker Dragon King, was there an element of performance in it?”
“Also, Du Tiechuan built a huge military camp after the battle, then announced seclusion to recover, issuing orders occasionally. Was he waiting for a chance, too?”
Ning Zhuo and Sun Lingtong looked at each other, speechless for a moment.
Moments later, Ning Zhuo obediently returned to Liu Er and Zhang Hei’s side, harvesting Ginseng Dragon Whisker with them.
Three days passed like this.
“Dragon Blood, what a large pool of Ginseng Dragon Blood.” Under a pile of rubble, Luo Xiwei used Earth Escape Skill, drilling down with great excitement.
He was a demon cultivator, holding a Five-Section Staff, proficient in Earth Element Magic.
Even before Heaven and Earth Twin Ghosts declared that there were treasures hidden on the battlefield, he had already stealthily infiltrated to extract benefits.
The earth-yellow Ginseng Dragon Blood seeped deep underground, soaking a stone, radiating a gentle treasure glow from its surface; even the tough stone fracture became flexible, even slightly elastic.
Luo Xiwei dispelled the Earth Escape Technique, just about to reach out and take it.
Suddenly, a freezing light shot through layers of rubble, hitting him with lightning speed!
Luo Xiwei had no time to react and was frozen in place.
His wide eyes, terrified expression froze on his face, entirely encased by thick layers of ice.
Beiming Rapid Freeze Light!
At the edge of the military camp, the cold light from a watchtower slowly dimmed. Just now, a beam of white light shot from its top, freezing the Golden Core Cultivator Luo Xiwei.
For a moment, the cultivators inside and outside the camp were shaken, casting probing glances.
Next, a flame thread made a loop in mid-air and agilely drilled into the rubble.
Soon, a cultivator’s wretched scream echoed before being burnt to death.
Li Fire of Death and Separation!
This fierce attack was unleashed from another watchtower.
The cultivators reacted with an uproar.
The terrified Thousand Peak Forest cultivators frenziedly fled using various methods.
White beams shot out one after another!
Simultaneously, threads of flame circled in the air, pursuing and hunting enemies.
Many Thousand Peak Forest cultivators paid for their greed with their lives.
That evening.
Du Tiechuan, receiving the war report, frowned.
He didn’t care for these results.
“The real key still lies with the Old Monster in Stone.”
“If he doesn’t show up, it’s futile.”
Du Tiechuan coughed twice, expelling earth-yellow blood.
He waved his sleeve, closing the secret room door completely.
Having stalled for so long without drawing out the Old Monster in Stone, Du Tiechuan chose to give up and began healing seriously.
