428: What do you have?

"I say, little Peter, why are you still so impetuous at over ten million years old?" A huge Dragon shadow appeared.

His wings alone were much larger than Peter's.

The other young Yunlongs of the Yunlong Clan who were playing there also gathered around.

Now their elders had all gone to War, and only a small number of Elder Yunlongs remained to look after them.

"Uncle Peter, did Niya Jie Jie agree to your pursuit?"

"No way, no way, how could Niya Jie Jie fall for a greenhorn?"

"Uncle Peter isn't as reliable as I am; Niya Jie Jie should marry me."

The young Yunlongs showed no fear, surrounding Peter with immense curiosity.

Peter only found these Dragon babies noisy; the current Dragon babies weren't cute at all, only good at exposing people's shortcomings.

"Go away, you little snot-nosed Dragons! I have serious business with Uncle, don't cause trouble, and also..." He grabbed a young Yunlong.

"Niya is mine."

The young Yunlong puffed out his chest, his voice childish, "Niya Jie Jie is mine."

Elder Yunlong's face was full of black lines.

This Peter.

He pulled apart the unyielding large and small Dragons.

"Peter, aren't you ashamed? Xiao Mi is only thirty-something, just born, and you're already competing with him. What's the matter, quickly say it."

The young Yunlong made a funny face and flew aside.

Peter glared at him, then spoke of the serious matter.

"On duty today, I encountered a demonic cultivator from the Eastern Great World; he possesses a method to restrain that Blood Cloud."

"Oh?" Elder Yunlong's eyes lit up.

The destruction of the Yunlong Clan's holy land had always been a heartache for him.

"How much can he handle?"

"Just tested, he alone handled the Blood Cloud that our entire Yunlong Clan, with all its strength, could only handle together, in one go," Peter said excitedly.

"Quick, take me to see the distinguished guest."

"Elder, that distinguished guest is digesting the devoured Blood Cloud."

"Then you go wait, I'll go gather those old fellows."

"Alright."

..........

Lin Ye finished digesting the Blood Cloud, and his body grew by tens of thousands of meters.

"Now, the blood essence doesn't seem so crucial anymore."

With this cloud sea, it's an endless supply of resources.

He hadn't even entered the Battlefield of the Gods yet, and he was already enjoying the benefits.

"It seems the decision was correct."

Lin Ye felt fortunate for his choice.

Relying on the Scarlet Land, he didn't know how long it would take to evolve his Blood Demon Body.

The Scarlet Land was a good place, but the Blood Demon had fallen too long ago; the Goldglaze Vine born there was of too low a grade, only able to win by quantity.

And this cloud sea, mixed with the blood of Chaotic Beasts and giant Dragons, was much more nourishing than the Blood Demon's.

"Now it's time to negotiate terms."

Lin Ye walked out the door, where several young Dragonkin had been waiting for a long time.

"Esteemed guest, please come in, our Elders have been waiting for a long time."

"Mm."

Riding a Yunlong, Lin Ye met the Elders they spoke of.

Five giant Dragons, thirty to forty thousand meters tall, appeared in the sky; each gave Lin Ye a sense of danger, revealing their extraordinary strength.

"Friend from afar, welcome to the Yunlong Clan," an Elder spoke.

"Let's get straight to the point; we demonic cultivators don't like all that pretentious nonsense," Lin Ye said casually.

The Elder Yunlongs looked at each other, revealing expressions that confirmed their suspicions.

"Then let's speak plainly. Help our Yunlong Clan deal with the Blood Cloud, and we are willing to pay the price of a Divine Artifact."

"Divine Artifact? What grade?"

The Yunlong gritted his teeth, "A two-star Divine Artifact."

Lin Ye showed an expression of disdain; this wasn't for his persona, in fact, he truly didn't think much of the price in his heart.

What a joke, the spread of that Blood Cloud exceeded a normal small Great Worlds, and you're telling me one two-star Divine Artifact is enough?

"That's it?"

"Young friend, the War is tight recently, our Yunlong Clan truly cannot provide more combat resources. What do you need? Let's discuss it," Elder Yunlong said helplessly.

In peacetime, let alone a two-star Divine Artifact, they could even produce a three-star Divine Artifact.

Don't underestimate the heritage of a race, okay?

But now the front line is tight.

The Dragon Realm has provided them with a lot of support, but many rewards will only be seen later.

For example, the entrance fee to the Battlefield of the Gods.

The promotion rewards given by the Dragon Realm.

The resource support provided.

Many existing combat forces are tightly held by the high-ranking officials of the Dragon Realm.

Waiting to enter the Battlefield of the Gods, every bit of existing combat power is extremely precious.

They explained the reasons, and Lin Ye thought for a moment, choosing the most cost-effective option.

"void stone, I need a lot of void stone."

He doesn't lack Dragon blood; separating the Blood Cloud will provide the resources for Little White's advancement.

But void stone is extremely scarce.

The evolution of the Divine Kingdom requires a lot of void stone.

Lin Ye's Divine Kingdom far surpasses ordinary people's; according to his and the lake's estimates, it would take about ten million void stone to meet the conditions for the Divine Kingdom's evolution.

An ordinary person's Divine Kingdom, when it reaches its limit, can increase combat power by two stars, which is good. Due to limited potential, not much void stone is needed for absorption, perhaps tens of thousands of pieces would suffice. With some time, the goal would be easily achieved.

Even worse, a Divine Kingdom's limit is only to increase combat power by one star; such a one, even at its peak, is just so-so.

However, Lin Ye's Divine Kingdom is exceptionally powerful. Its characteristic of having cores everywhere and its ability to frantically absorb void energy are incomparable to ordinary people's.

Powerful abilities bring greater burdens, making upgrades very troublesome.

The energy absorbed by the Divine Kingdom itself is difficult to meet its demands.

According to Lin Ye's own estimation, with his Divine Kingdom's current ability to absorb one or two pieces of void stone-level energy per year, it would not be simple to reach its limit.

Although he could just wait it out, he clearly couldn't wait that long.

"void stone? That's difficult. void stone is a strategic material now, and its value has skyrocketed. We might find it very hard to gather what you want," Elder Yunlong lowered his head slightly.

This was tough; this request couldn't be met either.

"Then I want top-grade Divine Artifact materials."

"Divine Artifact materials have all been collected for urgent forging."

"I want top-grade materials from giant Dragons. With so many casualties in this War, surely you don't lack those?"

"This... Martyrs are buried and will not be skinned or dismembered. This is the Dragon Clan's bottom line." Even though this matter of principle was offended, Elder Yunlong did not get angry; he was truly in need of help.

"Then I want Dragon Clan authority, to command a Dragon army."

"Ah? Our Yunlongs don't have much authority. The Yunlong army has been taken by the Clan Leader, and I can't make that decision."

"I want..."

"This..."

After several rounds, Lin Ye was truly angered.

"What exactly do you have? Are you playing with me?" His face was ferocious, coupled with his current rage, he looked like a world-destroying demon king.

"Calm down, calm down. Our Yunlongs are indeed a bit poor now, but we have great potential! The Dragon Lord has promised us full clan resource support after the War, and the tickets to the Battlefield of the Gods also include our Yunlongs' share," Elder Yunlong said cautiously, even somewhat humbly.
