150: Chapter 150 Life Essence Crystal 205! Not yet an entry-level swordsmanship? Fusion

Cao Xuan stroked his beard, a hint of solemnity flashing in his eyes.

He felt the heart-palpitating aura of the Demon Emperor in the air, and his heart was equally shaken.

A Yao Race powerhouse of this level, even if only a Clone, was enough to stir up monstrous waves in the capital.

He said in a deep voice,

"Your Highness, you overstate it. This is a battle for the survival of our Human Race; my Cao family will naturally do our duty without hesitation!"

Powerhouses from other factions also expressed their stances one after another.

Though each had their own calculations,

faced with the shared threat of the Yao Race and the Blood God Cult,

they also understood the principle that if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold.

The capital, the core land of the Human Race, absolutely could not be allowed to be defiled by the Yao Race.

Li Mu took the order and quickly mobilized the Guard Army.

He completely cordoned off this area of ruins.

And he sent out elite squads to conduct a carpet search of the capital with thunderous momentum.

Meanwhile,

the Demon Clan Saintess's exquisite face was already distorted.

After sending people out to investigate, she could not calm down for a long time.

This leak had already completely disrupted her plans, or rather, the plans of the Yao Race.

"His Majesty Demon Emperor Jiuyou, your Clone's Origin remnant was actually devoured by a human ant?"

She hissed in a low whisper, her voice filled with disbelief and sky-high fury.

This was not only a disgrace to the Demon Emperor, but a disgrace to the entire Yao Race!

"Who on earth is that human?!"

The Demon Clan Saintess suddenly barked in a low voice.

"Your Highness Saintess!"

Before her voice had even faded, two black shadows stumbled into the courtyard.

One of the figures even collapsed to the ground with a thud, spitting out a mouthful of demon blood, his aura instantly withering to the extreme.

His night-traveling clothes were already in tatters,

with several bone-deep wounds hideously exposed.

The other black shadow was slightly better, but his face was deathly pale as he knelt on one knee, his body trembling uncontrollably.

The Demon Clan Saintess's phoenix eyes, swirling with a sea of blood, suddenly narrowed.

The sky-high Demonic Qi instantly transformed into physical frost, freezing the ground of the entire courtyard.

"Useless!"

Her voice wasn't loud, yet it was more bone-chilling than the ice of the Nine Netherworlds; every word was like a heavy hammer smashing ruthlessly into the hearts of the two Yao Race elites.

"Speak!"

The heavily injured demon raised his head tremblingly, his eyes full of terror.

"Your Highness Saintess..."

"As soon as we approached those ruins, we encountered the Divine Thought sweep of human powerhouses."

"We couldn't dodge in time, and one of the human powerhouses launched an attack at us."

"If we hadn't run fast enough,"

"I'm afraid we would have met our end there."

"The capital... the capital Guard Army, as well as the powerhouses from the major families, have already surrounded that area so tightly that not a drop of water could leak through."

"The entire capital is under martial law, with a guard every three steps and a sentry every five."

"We... we simply cannot infiltrate; any slight movement would be met with a thunderous strike!"

The other demon hurriedly added, his voice cracking from fear.

"The humans reacted too quickly."

"From the moment His Majesty Demon Emperor Jiuyou's Clone dissipated to the city-wide lockdown, it took less than the time for a stick of incense to burn."

"The other side was clearly prepared, like a giant net instantly enveloping the whole city!"

"Clearly prepared?"

The Demon Clan Saintess smiled, but that smile was more terrifying than the roar of an evil ghost.

She slowly raised her jade-like hand and gently stroked the top of the heavily injured demon's head.

The demon shuddered, a glimmer of hope flashing in his eyes, thinking the Saintess was going to heal him.

However, in the next instant, his pupils suddenly dilated, and endless fear froze upon his face.

Crack!

A surge of pitch-black demonic power erupted from the Saintess's palm; the demon's head, like a block of frozen ice, was instantly covered in cracks.

Then, with a bang, it exploded into a mist of ice crystals and blood.

"Failure of a mission is a capital offense."

The Demon Clan Saintess withdrew her hand, as if she had only crushed an insignificant ant.

Her cold gaze turned toward the only remaining demon, her voice devoid of any emotion.

"My plans do not allow for any accidents."

"Pass down my order: all hidden agents are to suspend all activities and enter a state of total dormancy."

"Before we find that 'variable', whoever dares to expose themselves will meet this same end."

"As... as you command!"

The remaining demon was scared out of his wits and retreated from the courtyard on all fours.

Inside the courtyard, silence returned.

The Demon Clan Saintess slowly closed her eyes, her beautiful face a mix of killing intent and suspicion.

"An extremely Yang and fierce Saber Qi..."

"A bizarre Cultivation Technique that can devour Origins..."

"When did such a monster appear among the Human Race?"

...

At this time,

in the Zhenwu Division courtyard,

Gu Han sat cross-legged, golden light flowing around him like a giant golden cocoon enveloping him.

Inside his body, the Heavenly Prison True Qi was like boiling magma, rushing incessantly.

Forty-one incredibly solid heavenly prison chains intertwined and circled behind him, emitting a terrifying aura that suppressed the heavens and devoured all things.

With every breath, the surrounding air emitted slight explosive pops.

After a long time, Gu Han suddenly opened his eyes, and two golden divine beams about a foot long flashed and vanished.

"Refreshing!"

He stood up, feeling the unprecedented surge of power within his body, and couldn't help but let out a hearty low roar.

The battle with Demon Emperor Jiuyou's Clone,

although extremely dangerous,

had yielded gains that far exceeded his imagination.

That old dog was practically a living Bodhisattva, rushing to deliver experience packs to him!

Going from thirty-seven to forty-one heavenly prison chains was not just an increase in number, but a qualitative leap.

He could clearly feel that his Heavenly Prison True Qi had become more refined and overbearing, and his devouring power had strengthened several times over.

If he were to face the true body of that Dragon-bodied Great Demon now, Gu Han was confident

that he could completely slay it within three strikes!

"Demon Emperor Jiuyou..."

Gu Han licked his lips, a flash of arrogant Battle Intent in his eyes.

Far from being afraid, he treated this Yao Race sovereign as his next excellent 'cultivation resource'.

"Old dog, you must make sure to send a few more Clones over!"

Immediately after, Gu Han put aside his thoughts of Demon Emperor Jiuyou.

With a thought, a translucent light screen silently unfolded before his eyes.

"Yes!"

"A single trip to the Blood God Cult branch got me so many life origin crystals."

"The Blood God Cult and the Yao Race are truly my wealth-bestowing boys!"

A cold, sharp curve hooked the corner of Gu Han's lips.

Seeing that there were still several Saber Techniques that hadn't been fused, Gu Han's obsessive-compulsive disorder acted up again.

Without another word, he drove his thoughts.

Just as he was about to consume life origin crystals to Cultivate,

he remembered the System had previously reminded him that he could also synthesize 'life origin pearls'.

It was just that he had been in such a hurry to raise his cultivation before that he had ignored this.
