183: Loot

Upon hearing this, everyone’s spirits soared once more.

No matter what, the greatest glory this time belonged to the Wu Clan, and they shared in its honor!

Wu Tian Ce immediately led his people to collect the spoils of war.

The might of the Great Luo Dao Sword was still fresh in their minds, so no one dared to covet the spoils belonging to the Wu Clan.

A full four Immortal Emperor-grade Rule Crystals—these were treasures of heaven and earth, making countless people envious.

One must know that absorbing one Immortal Emperor-grade Rule Crystal could increase one's comprehension of the Great Dao for becoming an Immortal Emperor by at least ten percent!

Don't think ten percent is little; the difficulty of becoming an Immortal Emperor means this ten percent increase in Great Dao comprehension is equivalent to directly saving hundreds of thousands of years of arduous Cultivation.

This held an unparalleled attraction for all Quasi Immortal Emperor powerhouses.

Of course, even more precious was the corpse of that special creature.

A fresh Immortal Emperor-level creature corpse had immeasurable value.

Its scales, flesh, bones, essence blood, and so on—its entire body was a treasure, incredibly precious.

Among them, the most precious was its Inner World.

A recently deceased Immortal Emperor-level creature, with its Inner World still completely intact, could maintain its integrity for at least ten thousand years without collapsing.

The reason the Inner World was most precious was because it contained the Immortal Emperor Origin power condensed from its lifelong Cultivation!

It was also for this reason that the Inner World of an Immortal Emperor-level creature was also known as the Origin World, or Source Dao Fruit.

Wu Tian Ce quickly collected the four Immortal Emperor-grade Rule Crystals, then led his people to the corpse of that terrifying creature.

This was a scaly, special creature with four sky-obscuring giant claws, a head covered in pitch-black giant horns, and a pair of enormous bone wings on its back.

Observing it up close, even as a corpse, it still exuded an extremely powerful pressure; if one's Cultivation had not reached Immortal King, it would probably be difficult to even approach it.

Ordinary spatial Magic Treasure also could not withstand this residual pressure; forcibly containing it would likely lead to the collapse of the Magic Treasure's internal space.

Wu Tian Ce specifically took out a top-tier immortal king artifact-level spatial Magic Treasure to store the creature's corpse, along with its severed claw.

This scene made everyone else incredibly envious.

In this Blood Beast Tide, the Wu Clan was definitely the biggest winner.

Their own clan members suffered almost no losses; in the frontal battlefield, since everyone acted together, a group of Quasi Immortal Emperors banded together, and besides the Immortal Emperor-level Blood Beasts, other Blood Beasts posed no great threat.

After the Blood Beast Tide, only a few people sustained minor injuries, and not even one was seriously injured.

In this situation, other major forces were similar to them.

The Blood Beast Tide came quickly and receded quickly, causing no major casualties or destruction.

Of course, except for the Eternal Immortal Kingdom!

Although Xuanyuan Changqing of the Xuanyuan Clan suffered serious injuries, he gained three Immortal Emperor-grade Rule Crystals, so overall, he didn't lose out.

But the Eternal Immortal Kingdom was truly miserable!

Nearly forty Quasi Immortal Emperors fell; how can one describe the misery? It was a colossal loss.

At this moment, almost all Immortal Kings and Quasi Immortal Emperors from other forces were chasing and attacking the Blood Beasts.

With the Blood Beast Tide scattering and fleeing, not beating a fallen dog at this time would be an affront to heaven's principles.

Seeing the Wu Clan feast, they also wanted to get some soup.

Although the Immortal Emperor-grade Rule Crystals were gone, there were plenty of Quasi Immortal Emperor-grade and Immortal King-grade Rule Crystals.

They weren't killing Blood Beasts; they were chasing a group of Rule Crystals that could run away.

Among them, the people of the Eternal Immortal Kingdom were the most frantic.

There was no other way; too many Quasi Immortal Emperor powerhouses had died, so they had to reclaim some interest from the Blood Beasts.

...

"Tian Ce brother..."

A slender figure appeared before Wu Tian Ce; the newcomer was a top-tier Quasi Immortal Emperor from the Xuanyuan Clan, whose status was comparable to Wu Tian Ce's in the Wu Clan.

"Tian Ce brother, I would like to purchase some of the essence blood from that Immortal Emperor creature; would you be willing to part with some?"

"Don't worry, the price will definitely be fair; we won't let you suffer a loss."

Wu Tian Ce's heart stirred, guessing that Xuanyuan Changqing had been seriously injured just now and needed this essence blood to speed up his recovery.

A troubled expression appeared on his face as he said, "Jing Yu brother, I am truly sorry, but only our clan's Dao Child can make decisions on this matter, and the Dao Child is currently in seclusion."

"If you are not in a hurry, I can ask him after he comes out of seclusion."

A hint of surprise flashed in Xuanyuan Jing Yu's eyes as he asked, "Then, when will your esteemed Dao Child come out of seclusion?"

Wu Tian Ce shook his head slightly, "I'm not sure. You know how unpredictable such matters are; it could be a few months, or several years, hundreds of years, or even longer—that's quite common."

Xuanyuan Jing Yu couldn't help but feel a little disappointed upon hearing this.

"Tian Ce brother, to be frank, I urgently need this essence blood now."

"You also know that our Clan Chief Changqing was ambushed by that Immortal Emperor creature earlier and suffered serious injuries; he now needs its essence blood to restore his Origin Qi."

"We are willing to offer one Immortal Emperor-grade Rule Crystal in exchange for half of that Immortal Emperor creature's essence blood. What do you think of this?"

"Or other immortal medicines and treasures are fine too; you name your conditions."

Wu Tian Ce felt extremely troubled; these things were considered the Dao Child's spoils of war, and he couldn't make the decision.

However, the conditions offered by Xuanyuan Jing Yu were indeed very good; half of the essence blood for one Immortal Emperor-grade Rule Crystal was definitely a huge profit.

Even he couldn't help but be tempted.

Moreover, since the conversation had reached this point, refusing again would likely offend the Xuanyuan Clan.

Thus, he dared not make a decision arbitrarily.

Wu Tian Ce thought for a moment and said, "Jing Yu brother, please wait for me to go back and discuss with the others. Don't worry, I will definitely give you a reply within three days."

"Then I'll leave it to Tian Ce brother!"

Xuanyuan Jing Yu cupped his hands in a salute, then flashed away.

Wu Tian Ce sighed and immediately flew back.

Since he couldn't make a decision on his own for such a matter, he would involve everyone.

This was called risk sharing.

No matter what the final outcome, he wouldn't be the only one blamed.

The other Quasi Immortal Emperors of the Wu Clan were also indecisive after hearing the news.

But ultimately, everyone unanimously decided to agree to the exchange.

After all, the Xuanyuan Clan was the head of the five great clans of the Taichu Ancient Realm, at least on the surface; offending the Xuanyuan Clan was something they dared not do.

However, although they chose to exchange, they still waited until the third day to complete the exchange with Xuanyuan Jing Yu.

Wu Ning still showed no signs of coming out of seclusion.

After the Blood Beast Tide, Taichu Ancient City quickly returned to its former prosperity, and people tirelessly discussed the events that occurred during the Blood Beast Tide.

At the same time, news about this Blood Beast Tide spread through the Virtual God Realm at an unimaginable speed to other world Star Domains of the All Heavens Battlefield.

On the Spirit Mirror, news related to Wu Ning was directly suppressed; the most popular topics were almost all related to this Blood Beast Tide.

Blood Beast Tides were rare, occurring once every hundreds of thousands of years, and each previous appearance was almost always a disaster.

However, this Blood Beast Tide that descended upon the Taichu Star Region was of a scale rarely seen in history, with a total of eight Immortal Emperor-level creatures appearing, but all eventually perished in Taichu Ancient City.

This made people from other world Star Domains feel incredible.
