Chapter 1524: Secret-Blood Iron

Chapter 1524: Chapter 1524: Secret-Blood Iron

The Giant Demon Clan, a race that existed in extremely ancient times, has long been forgotten by the beings of the Ancient Realm due to the cleansing by immense forces.

Even Leng Youyue, the Empress of Slaughter from the last era, did not recognize the Giant Demon Clan.

"Giant Demon Clan?"

Leng Youyue raised an eyebrow, looking at Ye Yun with curiosity.

Ye Yun explained gently, "The Giant Demon Clan is the oldest race of the Ancient Realm, tracing back to the era when the Ancient Realm first opened, and alongside the Nine-headed Clan, they were the two strongest races..."

Leng Youyue stared wide-eyed, incredulously: "How come I’ve never heard of them?"

"Then have you heard of the Nine-headed Clan?"

Ye Yun asked.

"No, but I’ve heard of the Nine-tailed Clan..."

Leng Youyue answered honestly.

"The predecessor of the Nine-tailed Clan is the Nine-headed Clan, composed of the Nine-headed Division and the Nine-tailed Division, and the Nine-tailed Divine Dragon you are familiar with is a branch of the Nine-tailed Division..."

Ye Yun narrated calmly, simply recounting the stories of those years.

After listening, Leng Youyue was extremely shocked.

She had not expected such magnificent events had occurred in the extremely ancient past.

"Ye Yun, so how do you know all this?"

Leng Youyue’s face was full of confusion.

Ye Yun smiled and softly said, "The Shamanism is responsible for guarding the Demon Imprisonment Well, where the Giant Demon Clan is sealed..."

He then narrated the origins of the Demon Imprisonment Well.

Just after he finished speaking.

A burly man dressed in strange attire flew over.

This man wore only a pair of black shorts, revealing his muscular upper body, adorned with several black metal hoops around his head, limbs, and waist.

On his chest, there was a black tattoo.

It bore the character "Yuan."

"Hey, where are you from? Don’t you know that Tai Cang Mountain is under the jurisdiction of our Essence Emperor Sect?"

The burly man said coldly.

His cultivation base was not low, at the First Level of Divine Emperor Realm, and when he saw that most of the cultivators on this Celestial Boat were at the Divine King Realm, his face showed a look of pride.

He glanced at the black stone in Ye Yun’s hand, his eyes widened, and he shouted fiercely: "Don’t throw away your life in vain, quickly hand over the Secret-Blood Iron!"

Secret-Blood Iron?

Ye Yun was momentarily stunned, is this the name of this stone?

"Fellow Daoist, there is no secret blood on my stone..." Ye Yun shook the stone in his hand, having no intention of handing it over, and deliberately spoke slowly.

"There might be no secret blood, but it’s still Secret-Blood Iron. Though the quality is a bit poor, it’s still a rare mineral!"

The burly man said coldly.

Just then, a man clad in a dark red blood robe suddenly appeared beside him.

People from the Shura Soul Emperor Gate had also arrived.

Whoosh... The burly man exuded a layer of black smoke, looking terrifying like a Demon God, and said coldly: "This Secret-Blood Iron belongs to our Essence Emperor Sect, your Shura Soul Emperor Gate should not interfere!"

The blood-robed man cackled: "This is a piece of Secret-Blood Iron out in the open, with no ownership. Whoever wants to gain it will do so by their own ability!"

He emitted a terrifying layer of blood-red light, with a giant skull floating in the bloody glow, the momentum extremely frightening.

"The cultivation techniques of the Essence Emperor Sect and the Shura Soul Emperor Gate are quite interesting..."

Ye Yun observed silently for a moment, then said with a smile.

"The Essence Emperor Sect cultivates one’s essence, tempering the body, tapping into the body’s potential, with a physique comparable to a Divine Weapon, extremely powerful; the Shura Soul Emperor Gate cultivates the soul, with extremely terrifying soul power, capable of instantly possessing someone with a higher cultivation base..."

Leng Youyue explained.

"You know quite a lot, young girl!"

The blood-robed man suddenly turned his face, his long narrow eyes showing a trace of blood, and cackled.

"Young girl? I could be your great-grandmother!"

Leng Youyue retorted angrily.

Back in the previous era when she was making waves, the young monk in front of her didn’t even know where he was in the reincarnation cycle.

"I have only one piece of Secret-Blood Iron, I’m not sure which of you two I should give it to?"

Ye Yun shook the Secret-Blood Iron in his hand, looking troubled.

"Give it to me!"

"Give it to me!"

The burly man and the blood-robed man shouted almost in unison, then glared angrily at each other.

Bang bang...

In anger, the two began fighting fiercely in the void.

For a moment, powerful shock waves rose, accompanied by rolling black smoke and surging blood light, the momentum extremely terrifying.

On the Celestial Boat, under the control of Little Color, a colorful light rose to block all the impacts.

Ye Yun ignored the fighting duo and instead took out a green bead, gently shaking it.

A green light flew out, and then a Giant Demon Clan man covered in black hair appeared on the Celestial Boat.

Fortunately, Ye Yun had given a heads-up, and the Giant Demon Clan man did not transform into a mountain-like giant form.

"Greetings, my lord."

The Giant Demon Clan man clasped his fists, very respectfully.

This was one of those nine Half-step God Emperor Powerhouses.

"Do you have a name?"

Ye Yun asked with a smile.

In his view, all Giant Demon Clan members looked alike, apart from some height differences, he couldn’t really tell them apart.

"My lord, I am called Mo Liqing!"

The Giant Demon Clan man said.

Mo Liqing?

Ye Yun was slightly taken aback, then thought of something and couldn’t help but smile.

This name was quite interesting, only one character different from the name he knew.

"Ye Yun, what kind of being is this, I’ve never seen it before..."

Leng Youyue asked quietly.

"This is the Giant Demon Clan..."

Ye Yun said with a smile.

"So this is the Giant Demon Clan..."

Leng Youyue said with profound eyes, examining it up and down, then gazing into the deep void, quietly thinking.

"Take a look at this stone."

Ye Yun tossed the Secret-Blood Iron to Mo Liqing.

Mo Liqing caught the stone, felt it silently for a while, then showed a surprised expression.

"My lord, where did you obtain this stone?"

Mo Liqing asked nervously.

"Just ahead in the Black Abyss, now guarded by the two Emperor Gates, waiting for the Black Abyss Volcano to erupt, bringing out these Secret-Blood Irons..."

Ye Yun pointed ahead with his hand.

Mo Liqing turned and looked at the distant, seemingly ferocious beast-like mouth of the endless Black Abyss, his gaze deep, seemingly projecting Divine Sense to observe something.

After a moment of observation, he found nothing.

Holding up the Secret-Blood Iron in his hand, he said in a low voice: "My lord, within this Secret-Blood Iron, I sensed a very faint aura of Mount Xumi..."

Upon hearing this, Ye Yun had an epiphany: "So it was the aura of Mount Xumi; I thought it was the aura of your Giant Demon Clan?"

"My lord, our Giant Demon Clan’s aura is very close to that of Mount Xumi’s, it’s normal for you to mistake it..."

Mo Liqing showed a bitter smile.

Ye Yun’s eyes brightened, looking towards the Black Abyss, and said leisurely: "Could it be... that the Holy Artifact, Mount Xumi, of your Giant Demon Clan’s Foreign Race is hidden within the Black Abyss?"
