Chapter 2640 - 2639: Only an Hour

"Long Shitian, you trespassed into the Demon Domain, injuring numerous Demon Clan powerhouses and severely wounding the Great Elder of the Demon Clan."

"The six deities of the Dragon God Clan killed quite a few Demon Lords. This demands compensation, does it not?"

"Feng Wuchen once took away Elder Zhuchenxin’s Liuguang Crystal and Rebirth Holy Mystery Jade. Your Dragon God Clan should compensate tenfold. For each missing piece, one life will be taken, starting with the Dragon God Clan, plus ten Holy Artifacts, since Feng Wuchen can craft them anyway."

Zhu Tianmo was utterly extortionate.

Considering the rarity of Liuguang Crystal, even Zhuchenxin had only about a hundred pieces. Where would the Dragon God Clan find over a thousand for compensation?

Even the Soul-Pillar Pagoda couldn’t produce them!

"If you can’t deliver, don’t blame this Elder for being merciless!" Zhuchenxin threatened fiercely, "Also, get Feng Wuchen out here!"

The faces of Long Shi Hun and his group were extremely sullen.

Where could the Dragon God Clan find so many?

Chu Tianshu angrily retorted, "Liuguang Crystal is a top-tier material for crafting spatial artifacts, extremely rare. This Elder has only a dozen pieces, and around a hundred Rebirth Holy Mystery Jade. It’s simply impossible to compensate them."

If they fail to produce, won’t thousands perish?

"Hm! This is sheer extortion!" Jing Wushuang growled grimly.

"Chu Tianshu, you, as a Saint Venerable Alchemist, should be able to deliver this, right? There are plenty of people in the Dragon God Holy Temple, and if you can’t, their lives will suffice," Zhuchenxin mocked with a cold sneer.

"..." Chu Tianshu’s old face grew even grimmer.

"Old Clan Leader, our million clansmen have already set foot in the Dragon God Realm. Within six hours, we can control all forces seated under the Dragon God Holy Temple," Zhu Aoyun reported respectfully.

"Very good. Send more to blockade the Dragon God Holy Temple; let not a single person leave even a step. Violators will be killed without mercy," Zhu Tianmo ordered with a vicious smirk.

Zhu Tianmo intended to imprison everyone within the Dragon God Holy Temple.

"Also, don’t let them recover from their injuries; strike them once they improve," Zhu E Hun ordered coldly.

"Chu Tianshu, this Elder gives you an hour to prepare. If you can’t deliver, don’t blame this Elder for being ruthless. Zhuxinghun, be ready," Zhuchenxin taunted with a cold smile, his old eyes narrowing with a gleam of pride.

"Yes! Second Elder!" Zhuxinghun faithfully accepted the order, casting a glance at Long Jianfeng.

The Dragon God Clan had only an hour to respond.

In other words, in an hour, if they could not produce tenfold compensation, the Dragon God Clan would suffer.

All members of the Dragon God Clan, combined, did not exceed thirty.

"Only an hour," Zhuchenxin sneered, "Feng Wuchen took over a hundred Liuguang Crystals and over three hundred Rebirth Holy Mystery Jades from this Elder. If you can’t deliver tenfold compensation, many of you will die."

With that remark, the faces of those in the Dragon God Holy Temple drastically changed, overwhelming panic surging in their hearts.

"That brat Feng Wuchen took so much, and now the Dragon God Holy Temple is in trouble, yet he’s still not here!" Yang Xuanyi cursed inwardly, his old face extremely unsightly.

"Dantong, how is it? Has Brother Feng not exited seclusion yet?" Long Xiaoyang urgently inquired mentally.

"Not yet, he’s breaking through to Two-Star Saint Monarch, now at a crucial juncture, but it should be soon!" came Dantong’s voice.

"Excellent!" Long Xiaoyang rejoiced, quickly saying, "Great Ancestor, Brother Feng is at a critical breakthrough, nearly out of seclusion."

All their hopes now rested on Feng Wuchen.

Long Xiaoyang’s words instantly relieved Long Shi Hun and his group.

At least there’s hope, given there’s still an hour to spare.

Now, they only hoped Feng Wuchen could exit seclusion within the hour.

...

Rakshasa Holy Temple.

A great battle was unfolding.

God Shadow and Gongsun Wuqing were jointly confronting Water Traceless, exerting all their strength, yet still being severely wounded by Water Traceless’s formidable power, unable to hold on much longer.

The disparity in strength was immense.

Long Qianye battled Qinghong, hesitating as Qinghong had broken through to Two-Star Saint Venerable, with a significant increase in power. Even with his breakthrough to Eight-Star Saint Emperor, Long Qianye couldn’t match Qinghong.

The situation looked grim.

Meanwhile, Dantong and the God Shadow Guards engaged in a life-and-death struggle with the Saint Soul Sect’s powerhouses, Ling Xiaoxiao and others unable to help.

Luckily, Dantong’s might was overwhelming, suppressing the Saint Sovereigns of the Saint Soul Sect.

However, as the battle lingered, God Shadow and Gongsun Wuqing could no longer sustain, gravely injured and falling prostrate.

"Bang!"

"Poof!"

Water Traceless slowly approached, violently stomping on God Shadow’s chest, shattering the plaza beneath, as God Shadow spewed blood.

"God Shadow Protector!" Ling Xiaoxiao and the others were heart-stricken, anger seething to the skies.

"God Shadow, any last words?" Water Traceless coldly inquired.

The seriously wounded God Shadow sneered, "The mightiest protector of the Profound Holy Realm is not formidable, lagging far behind Great Protector Kui Ying."

"Kui Ying merely practiced a powerful technique," Water Traceless retorted coldly, a flash of ruthless killing intent in his eyes.

"Boom!"

"Poof!"

With that, Water Traceless executed a horizontal sweep of his foot, booming as the impact sent the grievously wounded God Shadow flying, collapsing a colossal stone pillar in the Rakshasa Holy Temple plaza.

Water Traceless’s kick was extremely forceful, endangering God Shadow’s Protector’s life.

"God Shadow Protector!" Zhang Junlan swiftly darted over, panic and worry etched across his face.

God Shadow’s injuries were grave, rendering him unconscious, his life hanging by a thread.

"That bastard!" Liu Qingyang and the others were infuriated, faces contorted in rage, brimming with murderous intent, eager to tear Water Traceless to shreds.

"Gongsun Wuqing, for the sake of your position as Fourth Elder of the Soul-Pillar Pagoda, this protector spares you," Water Traceless coldly glanced at Gongsun Wuqing.

"..." Gongsun Wuqing was too weak to fight back.

At the same time, Long Qianye’s conflict with Qinghong intensified as Long Qianye’s injuries worsened, pale and on the verge of collapse.

"God Shadow Protector is gravely injured and unconscious, Elder Gongsun can’t fight anymore!"

"Qianye Protector is also badly hurt, what should we do?"

"This is a problem! Brother Feng hasn’t emerged from seclusion yet."

Ling Xiaoxiao and Liu Qingyang were deeply worried, eager to help but lacking the strength to do so, feeling extremely frustrated.

"Long Qianye, this protector broke through to Two-Star Saint Venerable, the power boost is far greater than your breakthrough to Eight-Star Saint Emperor. Even with a mighty technique, you can’t withstand this protector, surrender to your fate," Qinghong grimly declared, his aura brimming with cold killing intent.

Long Qianye wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, sneering, "Qinghong Protector, if I had also broken through to Saint Honor, would you still dare be so arrogant before me?"

"Killing you in this manner is not my intent; this protector acts on orders! Prepare to die!" Qinghong Protector declared coldly, his form swiftly shooting out like lightning.

"Stop!" Liu Qingyang and the others cried out frantically in fury.

"Water Traceless, Qinghong, who gave you the audacity to cause chaos in the Rakshasa Holy Temple?" At this moment, an indifferent and icy voice echoed from within the palace.
