Jiang Li did not want to get involved in this mess before he recovered.
Without power, he felt utterly insecure.
"Yes, Master, I'll go right away!"
The Nightmare Beast smiled faintly and then galloped away.
After the Nightmare Beast left, Jiang Li did not delay.
He then sat down beneath the Divine Dream Essence Blood, circulated his [Cycle Immortal Scripture], and the power of the Sky Swallowing Divine Body within his Myriad Laws Immortal Body also circulated at lightning speed.
The power within the essence blood seemed to be drawn, surging rapidly towards Jiang Li's body.
A vigorous power flowed within Jiang Li.
Jiang Li's Saint Yuan and Immortal Body origin slowly recovered under the nourishment of the Quasi-Emperor Essence Blood's power.
Time flowed by slowly.
...
Primordial Divine Mountain.
Black Dragon Emperor's Imperial Tomb.
The imperial tomb was now a ruin, the air thick with the smell of blood and a sense of killing intent.
Surrounding it were the corpses of many Primordial Demon Race members, their minced flesh and blood filling the entire tomb.
"Demon Dragon Crown Prince, let us out, we don't want this Imperial Weapon anymore!" a hoarse and weak voice echoed throughout the imperial tomb.
Outside the imperial tomb.
A tall youth, exuding a blood-fiend aura, cast a sinister gaze towards the imperial tomb.
The youth wore dark scales, and his eyes glowed with a blood-red light, appearing extremely fierce.
This youth was none other than the Crown Prince of the Primordial Demon Dragon clan, Qin Mo Sheng.
Beside the Demon Dragon Crown Prince were many Primordial Demon Dragon warriors.
These warriors all carried a surging killing intent, and many bore wounds.
"You have no chance. Daring to plot against our Primordial Demon Dragon clan's Imperial Weapon, and killing so many elite warriors of our Demon Dragon clan, I will make sure you have nowhere to be buried!" the Demon Dragon Crown Prince said in a grim tone.
The entire imperial tomb was sealed layer upon layer with super grand formations, which blocked off everything within the Black Dragon Emperor's Imperial Tomb.
Nothing could enter or leave.
"Brother Chen, we've really messed up this time. Are we going to die here?" Inside a magnificent palace within the imperial tomb, Gu Sheng's face was pale, his body extremely weak.
Not far from the palace, Chen Zhuang Ming also had a pale face, devoid of any color.
In the center of the palace was a dragon-patterned great cauldron, exuding an ancient aura.
Mysterious runes flowed on the cauldron, as if containing incredibly profound power.
Chen Zhuang Ming held a massive dragon pearl in his hand.
This dragon pearl seemed to contain a very special power that resonated with the dragon-patterned great cauldron.
Chen Zhuang Ming activated the power within the dragon pearl, drawing out a trace of the great cauldron's energy to form a massive protective shield around them.
It was this shield that protected the entire palace, preventing the Demon Dragon Crown Prince from breaking in.
"Don't worry, I, Chen Zhuang Ming, have roamed the Central Continent for many years and am not tired of living yet. Once I erase the bloodline imprint of the Primordial Demon Dragon clan from this Imperial Weapon, it will be our time to turn the tables!"
Chen Zhuang Ming took out a golden pill from his spatial ring and swallowed it directly.
Gu Sheng took a deep breath and said no more, only focusing on recovering from his injuries.
Now, there was no other option but to trust Chen Zhuang Ming.
Thinking of the experiences of the past few days, Gu Sheng felt a dreamlike thrill.
He never expected they would actually find an Imperial Weapon.
It turned out that the Primordial Demon Dragon Ancestor had not detonated the Black Dragon Emperor's Imperial Weapon.
Instead, it was an Imperial Weapon that the Black Dragon Emperor had failed to refine earlier. Although it was a failed attempt, its materials and the extreme dao energy contained within were real.
It had been hidden deep within the Primordial Demon Dragon clan.
Furthermore, after countless years of nurturing, the failed Imperial Weapon had reached the level of a Quasi-Emperor Weapon.
The Primordial Demon Dragon Ancestor had used special means to conceal the Imperial Weapon's aura and detonated the Quasi-Emperor Weapon.
This had killed countless members of other Primordial Demon Races and simultaneously diverted their attention.
Later, Chen Zhuang Ming and Gu Sheng, who came to investigate, discovered it.
Naturally, they did not let this opportunity slip by.
Chen Zhuang Ming, using special methods, launched a fierce attack and managed to seize control of the Imperial Weapon's location ahead of time.
The Crown Prince of the Primordial Demon Dragon then launched a fierce assault.
"Your Highness, the Ancestor has been notified, but now the Ancestors of the other major clans are all watching our Ancestor, so I fear..." a Demon Dragon clan warrior said beside the Demon Dragon Crown Prince.
The Demon Dragon Crown Prince's brows furrowed. Being watched?
However, it was not unexpected. The explosion of the Quasi-Emperor Weapon had directly killed countless warriors from other races.
Several of their Ancestors had been severely injured. It would be strange if they weren't being watched.
This was also why the Demon Dragon Crown Prince was sent to retrieve the Imperial Weapon now.
"Send out the Ancestor in seclusion. The Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron cannot be lost. We have already lost one Quasi-Emperor Weapon. If we cannot obtain the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron..." the Demon Dragon Crown Prince continued resolutely.
"Won't this attract the attention of other demon races? The Ancestor told us to act low-key!" the warrior beside him continued.
"It's a different situation now. As long as we obtain the Imperial Weapon, coupled with the strength of our multiple Ancestors, who would dare to have any ulterior motives!" the Demon Dragon Crown Prince said slowly.
...
Primordial Divine Mountain.
Divine Silkworm Cave.
Inside the main hall of the Divine Silkworm Cave.
Jiang Li was fully absorbing the terrifying power within the Divine Dream Essence Blood.
After half a month of absorption, Jiang Li's blood qi and Immortal Body origin had completely recovered.
The origin of his Myriad Laws Immortal Body had even strengthened considerably.
The law power contained within the Divine Dream Essence Blood greatly benefited Jiang Li, giving him a deeper understanding of laws.
Although he had not fully comprehended them yet, he had already gained much insight, and the comprehension of law power was not far off.
More importantly, Jiang Li's realm had also reached the fourth level of Great Sage.
At this moment, Jiang Li was attempting to break through to the peak of the fourth level of Great Sage.
The [Cycle Immortal Scripture] was circulated by Jiang Li to its extreme, and the domineering devouring power of the Sky Swallowing Divine Body within his Myriad Laws Immortal Body was unleashed to its fullest.
Jiang Li seemed to have transformed into a black hole, fully absorbing the power of the Quasi-Emperor Essence Blood.
"Rumble!!!"
Before long, a violent aura erupted from Jiang Li.
Jiang Li had finally reached the peak of the fourth level of Great Sage, only one step away from the fifth level.
At the peak of the fourth level of Great Sage, Jiang Li slowly opened his eyes, intoxicated by the surging power within him.
The entire space seemed to be faintly cracking under the pressure of Jiang Li's aura.
"Master, I have found news of the Primordial Divine Grass!"
At this moment, the delighted voice of the Nightmare Beast sounded in Jiang Li's ear.
