137: The origin of gods and demons! The Ice Dragon King, who is full of treasures!

“The King will submit to whatever you wish to do with him, so come forth! If you dare to humiliate the King, the King will surely drag you all down with him!”

The dying Ice Dragon King was indeed a Demon King; his recovery ability was strong, and he could already speak.

His heavy breaths pounded against the ground.

Li Shengyuan smiled as he approached the huge dragon head; even lying down, the Ice Dragon King’s head was taller than him.

He patted the dragon's head, thinking, 'No worries in this life…'

Li Shengyuan said with a playful smile, “You’re the Ice Dragon King, right?”

“You’ve been captured alive, yet your mouth is still so stubborn. It wasn't easy to capture you alive, so how could we let you go so easily?”

“This thing of yours is a treasure from head to toe; its value is immense!”

As he spoke, he continued to pat the dragon's horns, claws, scales, and whip with a wide smile.

“Tsk tsk tsk… As expected of a Third-Rank Ice Dragon King. If we skin it, we should be able to forge a set of top-tier defensive armor, right?”

Old Fan fanned himself and said with a chuckle, “The Ice Dragon King is huge; ten sets would be more than enough!”

“Uncle Fan is right, this Ice Dragon King is enormous. Its tendons, bones, and blood are all excellent treasures!” Li Shengyuan nodded with a cheerful smile.

Everyone present also discussed animatedly with smiles on their faces, chattering about what each part could be used for.

The Ice Dragon King listened to these detestable humans discussing how to carve him up right beside him; he was on the verge of collapsing!

Humans are indeed devils!

The Ice Dragon King tried to struggle to his feet, but he couldn't exert any strength. He could only roar in fear and anger:

“Li Shengyuan! You yellow-haired brat, give the King a quick death!”

“The King will not spare you even in death!”

Li Shengyuan, however, said calmly, “Addressing Ye Xingzhou, first restrain this beast. After we extract some information about Outside the Pass, we'll use it directly for alchemy. It would be a shame for everyone to come to Shanhai Pass for nothing!”

“Mm.” Addressing Ye Xingzhou nodded coolly.

He formed hand seals, restraining the heavily injured Ice Dragon King, and then took out the miniaturized Locking Demon Tower, trapping him within it!

The strong cultivators from various sects gathered here had shining eyes, some eager to try their hand.

They had originally only come to Shanhai Pass to defend the Northern Borders, but they never expected to have the opportunity to receive a Third-Rank pill refined by Ye Hangzhou!

Moreover, this pill was made with a Third-Rank Ice Dragon King as the medicinal guide!

How potent would this Third-Rank pill be?

It could immediately elevate a martial artist's physical body and qi and blood to a higher level. Even for Dao cultivators, their physique could be greatly strengthened, and they might even gain some bloodline talents of the Ice Dragon King. The benefits were simply numerous!

Even the pills refined by the Demonic Sect, using humans and demons as guides, were far incomparable to this!

Not to mention that no one could even use a Third-Rank Ice Dragon King as a medicinal guide, could the Demonic Sect's alchemists compare to Ye Hangzhou's skill?

Everyone was filled with anticipation upon hearing this, their thoughts varying for a moment.

The Third-Rank cultivators in the sects thought: 'I am a Third-Rank. When the pills are refined, I should get a share, right?'

'No! There are too many Third-Ranks. When the beast tide comes, I must exert myself!'

Many Fourth-Rank cultivators thought: 'After the Third-Rank strong cultivators finish their shares, this dragon is so big, surely we can at least get some soup, right?'

'No! There are too many people. When the next wave of beast tide comes, I must break out and make a name for myself in front of Lord Li!'

There were already many Fourth-Rank strong cultivators present, and they only dared to think about getting some 'soup water,' let alone those below Fourth-Rank.

But regardless of their cultivation level, everyone's fighting spirit was ignited, thinking that they must go all out in the next beast tide!

Even a Third-Rank Barbarian King and Demon King were killed and captured by Lord Li, so there was nothing to fear from the Demon Barbarians' army!

If they couldn't get a Third-Rank pill, surely a lower-grade one would be fine, right?

Moreover, there were so many alchemists from the Imperial Observatory here. Who didn't know that the pills and artifacts produced by the Imperial Observatory were all top-grade? Pills they wouldn't even dare to dream of usually were now being distributed uniformly.

It was said that the alchemists of the Imperial Observatory worked in two shifts, and the alchemical furnaces never stopped…

When they killed demons and used their corpses for alchemy, it would surely be their turn, right?

Secretly observing the ignited fighting spirit of the crowd, Li Shengyuan smiled slightly in his heart.

Coming to Shanhai Pass to guard it was for the sake of justice, for fame!

But if one could gain profit while also gaining fame, then the enthusiasm would be different!

Everyone was willing to do things that brought both fame and fortune!

At this moment, Li Mu, who had seen everyone's reactions, smiled and patted Li Shengyuan's shoulder, saying:

“Shengyuan, you must be tired after such a big battle. Go back and rest first; we'll watch over things here!”

“For a short while, the beast tide probably won't dare to come…”

“Mm.” Li Shengyuan nodded with a smile.

The effect of boosting morale had been achieved, and with so many strong cultivators present, it wouldn't be a big problem without him!

It was also a good time to claim the rewards for doing bad deeds.

Coming alone to the cultivation room, Li Shengyuan sat cross-legged.

“System, convert the bad deed of killing the Barbarian King of the Barbarian Race into an entry!”

Ding!

[Host has successfully slain the Third-Rank Barbarian King of the Barbarian Race Outside the Pass, greatly weakening the strength of the Barbarian Race]

[Congratulations to Host for gaining one opportunity to plunder a purple entry]

[Congratulations to Host for gaining reward: A trace of God-Demon Origin]

[Does Host wish to directly absorb a trace of God-Demon Origin?]

Li Shengyuan's heart stirred upon hearing this. God-Demon Origin?

Could it be the power that flowed into his body from the Chaotic Divine Demon Contemplation Method when he broke through to Third-Rank?

Li Shengyuan had already experienced the power of the ancient God-Demon just now. It could instantly greatly increase his strength, and both his physique and Yin Spirit were strengthened!

However, when Li Shengyuan used the power of the ancient God-Demon, his personality seemed to have undergone some changes.

The ancient God made him indifferent!

The ancient Demon, on the other hand, made him brutal!

“If I absorb this trace of God-Demon Origin, will I become increasingly vicious and inhumane?” Li Shengyuan frowned.

But he quickly shook his head, “Who cares? I’m not a good person anyway. Strength is the only truth!”

“Moreover, those who can’t control their own power are useless. If that day truly comes for me, I deserve it!”

Thinking this, Li Shengyuan's Dao Heart became firm, and he said:

“Directly absorb the God-Demon Origin. Let me see what exactly it is!”

Ding!

[A trace of God-Demon Origin has been instantly refined]

So fast?

Li Shengyuan was a little surprised, perhaps it was due to the God-Demon power already within his body.

Without further thought, Li Shengyuan began to carefully sense his changes.

The most intuitive feeling was that Li Shengyuan felt that the mysterious God-Demon patterns on his body had increased and become clearer and thicker.

Furthermore, the lightning, gale, and fierce flame power patterns left by his tribulation had also increased significantly.

“If I activate these patterns, my strength will skyrocket!” Li Shengyuan said with shining eyes.

Li Shengyuan, feeling satisfied, began to enter a cultivation state.

Using divine abilities still consumed some of his energy.

As evening arrived, Li Shengyuan had fully recovered and emerged from his cultivation.

The good news was that there had been no beast tide attacks all day.

This left the strong cultivators from various sects who wanted to show off feeling regretful…

The temporarily free Third-Rank strong cultivators were also gathered by Li Mu to begin interrogating the Ice Dragon King!
