Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 224: Chapter 222: Golden Furnace (Please Vote!)

After doing all of this, Su Han stood in the cave for a while longer before finally departing.

As he left, his Divine Sense reached out and retracted the Thunder Curtain at the cave entrance.

“He’s out!”

Liuushui Wuhen and the others were still battling the Taotie when they saw Su Han emerge. Liushui Wuhen immediately shouted, “Hand over the things from within the cave, or you won’t be leaving Seven Treasures Mountain alive!”

Su Han’s demeanor remained calm as he looked at Liushui Wuhen, “Although you all have talent, your perception is too dull. I had intended to grant you a fortune, but you do not cherish it.”

As his words fell, Su Han shook his head and walked towards the deeper parts of Seven Treasures Mountain.

If Liushui Wuhen and the others could truly understand that Thunder Curtain, it would certainly be a great fortune.

Even though it was only stained with a strand of Su Han’s realm, it was still a lifetime’s gain for the people of Dragon Martial Continent.

But clearly, Liushui Wuhen and his group were not believers.

“With just you, bestow fortune upon us?”

Liushui Wuhen’s figure charged forward, stepping on the head of one Taotie as he reached towards Su Han.

“Leave the treasure behind!”

“Roar~”

Seeing him rush towards Su Han, another Taotie immediately leaped up, its sharp teeth biting straight at Liushui Wuhen.

The strength of these five Taotie was truly too formidable; just in terms of cultivation base alone, they were comparable to the Mid-Stage of the Dragon God Realm, and since they were Archaic Beasts, their actual burst of power was immeasurably stronger than the Mid-Stage of the Dragon God Realm.

“Dammit!”

Watching Su Han leave right before their eyes, Liushui Wuhen wanted to transform into the Giant Spirit Body, but Old Hai said, “Young Master, you mustn’t. The Dragon Power consumed by the Giant Spirit Body is far too great. We’ve just entered the Gate of Deer Chasing; if we can avoid using it, it’s better not to!”

Liushui Wuhen gnashed his teeth but in the end, he listened to Old Hai’s advice.

The Gate of Deer Chasing limited not only the number of entrants but also the items they could bring.

Despite being a genius of Giant Island, the pills he carried were truly insufficient for the consumption of the Giant Spirit Body.

The elders of Giant Island had instructed that unless it was an indispensable treasure, it was better not to transform into the Giant Spirit Body.

“To the second Light Barrier!” Liushui Wuhen huffed coldly.

When they ceased their attacks, the five Taotie also stopped their movements.

Each Taotie had some injuries on them; they lay prostrate at the cave entrance, watching as Su Han’s figure gradually receded into the distance.

“Let’s go, cause no more harm to life. When I return to the Holy Domain, I will take you out,” he said in an indifferent tone that reached the ears of these Taotie.

“Woo…”

The five Taotie let out a whimpering sound and, after a long while, finally got up and left Seven Treasures Mountain.

The tens of millions of years had eroded their hatred towards Su Han; as they parted now, there was even a sense of reluctance.

…

Meanwhile, in another location, tens of people were gathered together.

Like Seven Treasures Mountain, this place was a desolate mountain with extremely high peaks piercing straight into the heavens.

At the top of that mountain, light emanated, resembling Divine Rosy Clouds.

Within the light, a faint shadow was cast.

That shadow was a Golden Furnace.

“This must surely be a Holy Artifact for Alchemy and Artifact Refining!”

Everyone guessed the function of the Golden Furnace.

Although the Golden Furnace was a mere shadow, the pattern marks on it were extremely clear.

On it, there were the fierce figures of giant beasts either howling up to the sky, crouching in readiness, or baring their claws and teeth.

“I must obtain this item!”

Liuu Feng’s face revealed a covetous look; being an Artifact Refiner, and even more so a Pill Master, he had an unparalleled burning passion for such sacred items.

“Hum~”

At that moment, the glow at the mountain summit suddenly vibrated and emitted a humming sound.

The entire mountain began to tremble at this moment, and massive boulders, as if collapsing, started rolling down from above.

Everyone immediately retreated, but even as they backed away, their eyes, filled with greed, never strayed from the Golden Furnace.

“Boom boom~”

The earth shook, and fissures tore open; the phantom image of the Golden Furnace atop the mountain suddenly vanished, and the great mountain began to slowly collapse.

“BOOM!!!”

At one moment, an earth-shattering blast emanated from within the mountain; the towering peak, a kilometer high, just like that, under the astonished gazes of countless people… crumbled apart!

Countless rocks and sand fell from the sky, those enormous boulder weighed millions of pounds; ordinary flying rocks they may have been, but at that moment, as if bestowed with divine favor, they radiated incredible oppressive force.

“Bang!”

A genius from a Second-Rate Sect was struck squarely by a rock. He had thought that he could easily shatter it; after all, it was just a piece of stone.

But the moment the boulder struck him, all the attacks he deployed collapsed, and his body burst into a Blood Mist with a loud pop.

“Young Sect Master!”

Two elders instantly had blood-red eyes; they wanted to protect him, but the boulder’s defensive power was too strong, leaving them no option but to watch helplessly as the other was smashed to death.

A Young Sect Master from a Second-Rate Sect had just died like this!

Such a person, on the Dragon Martial Continent, would hold an extremely high status.

When leaving the Sect, he would be guarded by legions, revered by countless people wherever he went.

But here, he simply died, and no one cared.

“Serves him right!”

A man with a stern expression and cold eyes dodged a massive stone and rushed over from the distance, snorting, “He was the Young Sect Master of a Second-Rate Sect. Couldn’t he just have stayed comfortably within his Sect surrounded by wealth and honor? Instead, he had to run here looking for some treasure. His death is utterly in vain.”

“You!”

The anger in the two elders’ hearts flared, but upon recognizing who the young man was, they ultimately kept silent.

“What about me?”

The young man, Leng Xiao, said, “Did I say anything wrong?”

This person was none other than Mo Jiuyou!

He was from the Chang’an Mountain Gate, a First-Class Sect; even among the myriad First-Class Sects, it stood at the very peak.

As for those two elders, they were merely from a Second-Rate Sect. Forget them, not even their Sect Master would dare to cross Mo Jiuyou.

“I won’t be able to get the Golden Furnace now,”

Liuu Feng was also among the crowd, but at the rumbling of the mountain, he had completely retreated.

Having personally witnessed the Young Sect Master from a Second-Rate Sect being crushed to death, although he was unwilling to accept it, he knew that the item was beyond his reach.

With a sigh, Liuu Feng quickly made his escape.

While fleeing, he nearly got struck by falling boulders several times, and had any of them hit, even with his special bodily strength, he would undoubtedly have died.

The shattered mountain had completely collapsed by now, dust filled the sky, turning into a storm that swept through the surroundings.

“Hum~”

And right at that moment, a humming sound transmitted through the air, a Golden Furnace, only the size of a palm, unexpectedly flew out from the collapsed mountain!

“It’s the Golden Furnace!”

Every eye concentrated, and a deep color of greed surfaced on their faces.
