410: Chapter 409: The Third Divine Treasure (4K monthly ticket required)

With that shriek, from the eye of the storm, Marquis Wenan’s demonic body, composed of countless demonic thoughts, finally couldn't resist and was enveloped by an endless, bone-piercing Protective Aura.

The scene within was like countless sharp blades carving away chunks of flesh from the demonic body, a thousand cuts and ten thousand slices, horrifying and shocking.

In just half a stick of incense, the Devil Head had countless demonic thoughts Cut away, its flesh and bones carved away layer by layer, its cultivation eroded Inch by inch.

Finally, with a shrill, unwilling shriek, the Devil Head disintegrated into black fragments in the bone-scraping Protective Aura, its Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering.

Only the large ship, swaying precariously in the storm, and the 'Heaven and Earth' of creation, ravaged by the gale, remained.

Suddenly, a clear Dragon roar echoed, and two silver lights burst out from the shattered evil Qi, shooting away against the terrifying wind Protective Aura, accompanied by several clusters of demonic clouds constantly being whittled down by the wind Protective Aura.

These were precisely the two Dragon Horn Flying Swords that had broken free and the remnant souls of demons released from Chen Yuan's Demon Subduing Pagoda.

To suppress the black hand in the ship, the Flying Swords and hundreds of remnant souls had become entangled within, now enduring the fierce killing intent of the terrifying Protective Aura.

Other remnant souls were annihilated by the Protective Aura, their Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering, with only the sculpted remnant souls of six great demons following the Dragon Horn Flying Swords, whooshing out of this creation land ravaged by the storm.

Chen Yuan showed no sign of pain; these remnant souls of demons scattered and were gone, he could just kill more. Instead, his light golden pupils, like a wild beast’s, stared intently at the situation within, through the vast storm.

When the few remnant souls of great demons rushed out of that creation space, the golden light in Chen Yuan's eyes suddenly blazed, his hand forming a seal, his mouth chanting, and then he pointed at the now masterless large ship.

“Capture it for me!”

The six remnant souls of great demons, who had “escaped death,” suddenly stabilized their figures in the gale, then let out demonic roars, their Devilish Qi surged, and their shattered remnant souls transformed into hideous demonic bodies full of cracks, seemingly on the verge of falling apart. They simultaneously extended their beast claws, grabbing at the large ship, then, resisting the powerful pulling force and killing intent of the Phoenix’s eye, they roared into the sky, rushing out of the storm’s eye together.

However, the terrifying tearing force of the Phoenix’s eye made the remnant souls’ speed very slow, and the Devilish Qi on their bodies was constantly being torn apart.

The two silver lights leading the way, seeing this, tore through the wind Protective Aura and turned back. Then, the swords hummed loudly, and two Dragon tails materialized, flicking and coiling around the large ship, helping to pull it.

Immediately, the large ship began to move.

But soon, within the storm, “Boom,” “Boom,” two remnant souls of great demons suddenly disintegrated.

At the same time, a blazing golden light shot out from Chen Yuan’s third eye outside the Phoenix’s eye, splitting into two, fixing the Void Realm where the two remnant souls had vanished. In the Void Realm, the two “Xi Yi” Monsters had, at some unknown point, followed along.

They were fixed by Chen Yuan’s Dharma Eye!

These monsters were incredibly bizarre; they were completely unaffected in this Phoenix’s eye, which was full of destructive power. Formless and invisible, they had forced even the colossal evil thoughts from earlier into a corner. Ordinary attacks seemed unable to touch them; only the golden light of the Dharma Eye could briefly fix them.

It was as if their true bodies resided in another space, and ordinary Divine Abilities couldn't harm them, while Chen Yuan's Dharma Eye was born from absorbing incense Luck and could perceive all directions at a high Realm of cultivation.

Chen Yuan knew that the Dharma Eye could only fix these monsters for one or two breaths. With a shout, he urged the True Dragon and Fire Phoenix protecting his body to rush directly into the eye of the storm.

In an instant, Dragon roars and Phoenix cries resonated together, and the azure and crimson lights blazed fiercely, crashing into the eye of the storm that changed the color of Heaven and Earth!

The fierce Protective Aura was like countless sharp blades, tearing at the Spiritual Light on the Azure Dragon and Fire Phoenix’s bodies, attempting to shred them. The terrifying power directly forced the two true spirits to reveal their true forms.

Within the Azure Dragon, a large tree as green as jade with branches like coiling Dragons manifested, swaying with endless vital Qi; and within the Fire Phoenix, on an upright coffin, grew fiery red parasol leaves, swaying with brilliant divine fire.

These two divine treasures, refined from Spirit Roots of Fortune, possessed immense vital Qi and could effectively resist the Protective Aura. They directly charged at the two monsters, buying time for themselves to seize the Opportunity and pull the ship out.

In a flash, the True Dragon and Fire Phoenix roared away.

However, just then, the two monsters performed a strange action.

They actually knelt down.

The direction they knelt in was the direction from which the Fire Phoenix was charging.

Chen Yuan was startled; he raised his hand, and the charging Azure Dragon and Fire Phoenix stopped.

His gaze was filled with surprise and doubt as he stared intently at these two strange monsters, making no further move.

One breath, two breaths, the two monsters’ posture remained motionless, as if they were submitting to a presence superior to themselves.

And seizing this Opportunity, the Dragon Horn Twin Swords and the remaining four remnant souls of great demons painstakingly dragged the large ship out of the eye of the storm.

The four remnant souls of great demons had their last potential overdrawn and turned into nothingness after leaving the Phoenix’s eye.

Seeing the large ship dragged out of the eye of the storm, Chen Yuan directly waved his hand to capture it, then leaped forward, turned, and left, rushing towards the outer edge of the eye of the storm.

He rushed to where the others were and transmitted a message to them, “Quickly leave here!”

As he spoke, he held the ship in the air with one hand, striding away. His Primordial Spirit Dharma Form also retracted with each step he took, accompanied by two streams of light, one azure and one crimson, flying towards him from behind, then rapidly shrinking and disappearing into his body.

The other five said nothing and followed behind him.

During this process, Chen Yuan looked back, his Dharma Eye piercing through the night sky filled with yellow sand and mist, gazing into the depths of the storm.

The two monsters were still kneeling, but their only-outline heads were raised, looking in the direction they had left, as if two pairs of eyes were watching them depart.

Something had changed, and Chen Yuan had no time to ponder. After achieving his desired goal, he led the few great Wu Zang and ran straight towards the outer edge of this deathly land, without looking back.

Thus, after rushing for more than two hundred li, Chen Yuan and the others finally stopped. Along the way, it was smooth sailing, without any accidents, and they did not encounter any demons who had noticed the great battle and came to pry.

“Bang.”

Chen Yuan lowered his raised left hand, and the next second, a heavy thud echoed from the desert ground.

An ancient, large ship landed heavily on the sand.

At this moment, the ship looked like an ordinary pleasure boat, with its doors and windows tightly shut. The “Heaven and Earth” within had disappeared, and all the candles inside had extinguished, leaving it completely dark!

But if one observed carefully, after experiencing a great battle, the marks of sword and axe on the ship's hull were slowly recovering.

This was their spoils of war after this battle!

Chen Yuan set the ship down, his pupils scanning it with faint golden light, and light flickering within.

After this great battle, the mysterious veil of this ship had been unveiled. Indeed, there was Dragon Tiger creation within, located in the cabin. At that time, everyone was focused on that, but they overlooked the existence of the ship's hull.

Chen Yuan saw with his own eyes that the ship’s hull was as hard as a divine weapon and could control water. Even the eye of the storm, which could annihilate Devil Heads and change the color of Heaven and Earth, couldn't dismantle it. Moreover, it had self-healing abilities. He didn't know what material it was made of, but this characteristic gave him a guess.

Then he shifted his gaze to the few people who had landed around him.

“This fiend has been slain. Chen expresses his gratitude to you all for your strong assistance!”

He bowed to them.

Huyan Qing of Tai Sui Mountain, with white Qi rising from his head, was the first to speak, waving his large hand,

“Oh, Brother Chen, you overstate it. Killing that fellow wasn't just for you; it was for the greater good. Besides, in the battle just now, I didn't exert much effort. I merely assisted with the Formation from the side and didn't take much risk, so I dare not claim credit!”

He spoke candidly. Saying he didn't exert much effort was humility; to kill the opponent, he had even used secret techniques to stimulate his True Qi. However, in the situation just now, they indeed didn't take many risks. The three of them mainly cooperated and followed instructions, with Chen Yuan leading the charge.

Jin Yu Mountain stroked his beard and nodded, “That’s right. The battle just now was quite perilous. Fortunately, Brother Chen was strategic; otherwise, with such a Devil Head following behind, the consequences would have been unimaginable.”

After this battle, they finally saw the true nature within the ship—it was all evil thoughts. Recalling how they wanted to seek Opportunity inside when they were in Qingshan County, if they had truly gone, they would likely have faced certain death. Thinking of the consequences, a chill ran down their spines.

“Hehe, if you don’t accept this courtesy, Old Man and the Dragon Girl will.” At this moment, an old rascal’s voice sounded.

Old Man Dong of the Huanlong Clan smoothed his wind-tousled, split hair and took a step forward,

“Chen kid, you really must thank me and the Dragon Girl. During this time, my old bones have been ordered around by you countless times.”

“You’ll have to acknowledge this later!”

The old man showed no pretense. When he first met Chen Yuan, he was still somewhat restrained, addressing Chen Yuan as General Chen. Now, however, he called him “Chen kid” repeatedly, having grown accustomed to it.

As he spoke, the Dragon Keeper cast his gaze towards the ship's shadow in the darkness beside him, marveling, “This ship appears to be the Dao field of a former Dragon Tiger grandmaster. It contains an inner Pot Heaven of creation. If it were outside, countless powerful cultivators would likely fight over it, causing rivers of blood!”

At this point, the Huanlong Clan member’s tone suddenly shifted, “However, I also observed that such a place, long occupied by those evil thoughts, has had its foundation corrupted. If we were to enter and attempt to comprehend a sliver of creation, we would likely unknowingly develop demonic thoughts, thereby needlessly inviting danger and destroying our Dao foundation—it’s not worth it!”

“To eliminate this hidden danger, it will probably take a long time to cleanse this object with the most rigid and pure Qi!”

As Old Man Dong spoke, the three San Taibao of Tai Sui Mountain, who had been feeling a bit fervent and frequently glancing at the large ship, wanting to explore its depths, couldn't help but twitch their eyelids.

Including Chen Yuan!

Chen Yuan was also somewhat surprised, but he didn't understand much about Dragon Tiger creation, as he was still a few steps away. However, he was also curious why Old Man Dong could see it at a glance, as the other party was only a Wu Zang Peak, half-step Dragon Tiger Realm, while he himself had the Dharma Eye that could penetrate illusions. So he asked,

“Old Man Dong, how do you know the problem with this ship?”

Unexpectedly, the old rascal simply looked to the side and chuckled, “This old man doesn’t have that ability. Naturally, the Dragon Girl told me.”

Chen Yuan and the Taisui Mountain Three Taibao couldn't help but look to the side, at the cold and unapproachable Dragon Girl in the silver-scaled dress.

The San Taibao of Tai Sui Mountain were wary and dared not look directly, because the three of them had seen this Dragon Girl in action at Tianxiong Pass.

This one was a genuine True Dragon!

Such true spirits are few in Heaven and Earth. Regarding such an existence, they had privately speculated and discussed the origins of this Dragon Girl by the Ninth Mountain Zhonglang General’s side, but they had no clues.

However, each one's background must be very powerful and not to be easily provoked.

And Chen Yuan cast his gaze towards this North Sea Dragon Girl, becoming even more certain that before she was injured, she must have stepped into the Dragon Tiger Realm. It was just as Old Man Dong said, she was severely injured and needed to find a Qi Luck Spiritual Root to recover, thus forming a connection with him, but her foundation and discernment were still there.

“This time, thank you for the Dragon Girl’s guidance.”

Her eyelids drooped; she nodded, then spoke softly, coolly and clearly,

“I need to heal!”

Hearing this, Chen Yuan’s eyes flickered. He directly raised his hand and slashed across the Void Realm in front of him, and a black crack, like torn silk, was ripped open.

The Dragon Girl took a step forward, a faint silver light flashed, and then she disappeared directly into the crack.

After Chen Yuan had taken the Dragon Girl into his Pot Heaven space to heal, he then looked at Old Man Dong.

“Chen kid, why are you looking at this old man? I won’t go in yet. This old man wants to board the ship and see, after all, such a masterless land of creation is rare and precious, and this old man doesn’t want to miss it.” Old Man Dong was a bit excited, completely ignoring what he had just said.

Old Man Dong actually knew, but he was also a bit defiant. Who knew, maybe? One should know that he was only a hair’s breadth away from taking that step.

This temptation was enormous.

The three San Taibao of Tai Sui Mountain actually held the same thought. They had to try; how could they give up such an Opportunity?

“Brother Chen, why don’t we—”

Chen Yuan knew that it was not appropriate to say too much at this time. Without waiting for the other party to finish speaking, he directly nodded.

“Then let’s go into the ship and take a look!”

“Allow Chen to set up a Restriction first!”

As he spoke, Chen Yuan stamped his foot.

Immediately, the sand dunes below trembled, and then several people, along with the large ship, sank down and disappeared from sight.

Two days later, in the afternoon, several figures burst out from the sand dunes.

“Damn it, I didn’t expect the Dragon Girl to be right; I almost started fighting myself in there.” A grumbling, old voice sounded.

Old Man Dong’s figure appeared, looking a bit disheveled.

And the three San Taibao of Tai Sui Mountain also appeared one after another, not disheveled, but with varying, somewhat pale expressions, showing a hint of unwillingness.

Chen Yuan appeared last, “Are you all alright?!”

“Chen kid, take me in. This old man has given up on this ship.”

Old Man Dong said.

Chen Yuan understood, flicked his sleeve, and took him in.

Then, he looked at the three San Taibao of Tai Sui Mountain.

Jin Yu Mountain’s expression returned to normal, putting away the emotions in his eyes,

“I didn’t expect this land of creation to be so severely polluted. Never mind, it was an unexpected gain, no need to force it. This ship will be handled by Brother Chen.”

The other two had no objections.

Hearing this, Chen Yuan’s eyes flickered, “Then Chen will handle it himself.”

This was poison to them, but to him, it might be his third divine treasure. (End of Chapter)
