Chapter 452 - 399: [Son of a Bitch Dragon Hunting Tower]

CLANG CLANG CLANG—BOOM!

After another round of bombardment.

The Order Rule Divine Chains shattered. The Abyss shook endlessly. The final Grand Array of the Quasi-Emperor’s Tomb’s vault broke open, and a soaring, auspicious light of Creation illuminated the boundless darkness.

In the space-time outside the vault.

Wu Dao, hidden within the Magnetic Field, snapped his eyes open, gazing at the various astonishing items of Creation inside the vault.

It couldn’t compare to the Heaven-Burying Emperor’s Tomb.

But it was more than enough to tempt any power. Heavenly and Earthly Treasures and Divine Liquid Dao Collections hummed, interwoven with ancient worldly patterns. Each item had precipitated and gestated for hundreds of millions of years, and any one of them could be called a rare treasure!

In the deepest part.

Wu Dao even saw a flowing river of Cosmic Mother Liquid. Bobbing in its center were a Quasi-Emperor Divine Sword and a stone-carved Emperor Scripture!

Evidently.

The tomb’s owner had been half a step from the Emperor Realm in life and had already forged a Taoist Scripture. Unfortunately, before he could take that final half-step, he died in a Great Tribulation.

That river of Cosmic Mother Liquid.

It must have formed after the Quasi-Emperor’s Cosmic Seed disintegrated and degraded.

In another hundred million years.

It might degrade and dilute further into Grand Thousand World Mother Liquid.

"What a pity, what a pity!"

After their initial excitement, the Great Powers of the Huishi Sect sighed with regret as they looked at the river of Cosmic Mother Liquid.

"We discovered it too late. If we had been ten million years earlier, before the Cosmic Seed dissipated its Dao, we might have obtained a minor Quasi-Emperor Dao Fruit."

A minor Quasi-Emperor Dao Fruit would have guaranteed the cultivation of a Quasi-Emperor. After dissipating its Dao and degrading, it could only be used as a high-level Cultivation Resource. It truly was a shame.

"Haha, Grand Elder, you’re being too greedy. The Cosmic Divine Liquid isn’t bad either. A single drop can create a blessed world and even power an Emperor’s Weapon."

Another elder felt quite satisfied.

"Alright, let’s quickly move the Creation from the vault back to the sect. It will be bad if other Emperor’s Lineages catch the scent and come over."

Among the elders, a Priest in a Divine Robe gave a solemn reminder. He prepared to communicate with the Holy God nurtured by the Huishi Sect to open a Faith Channel and transfer all the Creation from the vault.

But when he tried to communicate, his expression changed drastically!

He couldn’t get through at all! The entire Quasi-Emperor’s Tomb seemed to be isolated from the outside world; even the Faith Channel wouldn’t open!

"Not good! We’re under attack!"

The elder suddenly roared. The others also sensed that something was wrong, their expressions turning to absolute horror.

Sealing the space-time of the Emperor’s Tomb without a sound! Even a Great Saint couldn’t detect it! This proved the attacker possessed Saint Master Level Power at the very least!

"Quick, activate the Saint Master Soldier!"

The leading Grand Elder reacted in an instant, immediately trying to activate the Saint Master Divine Weapon they controlled.

This was the foundation of an Imperial Influence. Any random exploration team was led by a Great Saint and came standard with a Saint Master Divine Weapon.

Unfortunately...

Wu Dao gave them no chance at all!

BOOM!!

The Abyss trembled, and the Ten Thousand Realms sank!

The space-time outside the Emperor’s Tomb instantly shattered into Chaos, and from its depths, a magnificent Profound Yellow Gate materialized!

One of Wu Dao’s Saint Realm Incarnations, leading several Semi-Saint Primordial Demon Essence Qi Spirits that had long since reached their peak, jointly activated a Saint Master Level Heaven-Swallowing Gourd!

It was like a black hole erupting!

A Great Thousand World spun within the Gourd’s mouth, unleashing an unrivaled suction force. It tore at the entire Abyss, causing it to collapse and disintegrate. The rules of order, as sturdy as Divine Gold, couldn’t be mobilized in the slightest, and the All Saints of the Huishi Sect were instantly suppressed, unable to move!

And it wasn’t just the Heaven-Swallowing Gourd!

A Golden Saint Master Cauldron was also active, sealing space-time and blocking information. Its Rule Divine Chains wove together into a Divine Net of Severed Communication, preventing any message from getting out!

"The Dragon Hunting Tower?! You’re courting death!"

The immobilized Saint Realm Great Powers of the Huishi Sect stared at the mysterious figures in black robes—whose auras they would recognize even if they were turned to ash—and let out a furious, eye-splitting roar.

During the last major incident on the Emperor Star, the Daluo Celestial Domain had a huge number of its Celestial Prides hunted by the ’Dragon Hunting Tower’. Several factions nearly had their entire generation of Cave Heavens Realm and Dharma Realm cultivators wiped out.

Because of this, every faction in the Daluo Celestial Domain hated the Dragon Hunting Tower to the bone.

To be precise, after the Emperor Star incident, all of the All Heavens Emperor’s Lineages wished they could tear the Dragon Hunting Tower apart with their bare hands.

Otherwise, the All Heavens wouldn’t have joined forces to attack the Dragon Hunting Tower that one time.

The All Saints of the Huaisheng Sect never expected it.

They had just beaten the Dragon Hunting Tower into hiding not long ago. How much time had passed before the Dragon Hunting Tower dared to show its face again?

Not only had it reappeared, but it was audacious enough to appear within the Burial Realm—where the Imperial Influences of the Daluo Celestial Domain gathered—and immediately try to hunt Saints!

What was it trying to do? Settle the score and take revenge for last time? This was simply lawless!

The Great Saint of the Huishi Sect couldn’t figure it out. What gave the Dragon Hunting Tower the nerve to act so crazily?

Clearly, after his last encounter with the Dragon Hunting Tower, Wu Dao had captured the Magnetic Field of genuine Dragon Hunters, and his experience with disguises had grown even richer.

At this moment, his impersonation was so perfect it was more real than real. Even the Great Saint of the Huishi Sect couldn’t detect the slightest trace of a disguise.

"Jie jie jie, you reap what you sow. For daring to offend the Dragon Hunting Tower, you will pay a price in blood. This is only the beginning!"

Hearing the furious roars of the Huishi Sect elders, Wu Dao played along with a cold sneer, his voice filled with immense hatred.

’They really are here for revenge!’

When the All Saints of the Huishi Sect heard the Dragon Hunter’s chilling, murderous tone, their hearts sank.

The last time the All Heavens besieged the Dragon Hunting Tower, they had nearly destroyed the nine-story Dragon Hunting Tower. In the end, they alerted a great, ominous existence within the tower and were forced to retreat.

But the Dragon Hunting Tower’s losses had also been immense! Many Saint Realm Great Powers had died, and even a Great Emperor was surrounded by the All Heavens and torn apart. His screams echoed in the Sea of Chaos for a long, long time!

With such a blood feud, the Dragon Hunting Tower naturally wouldn’t let it rest. But they never expected retaliation to come so quickly and without any warning, sneaking into the Burial Realm right under Daluo Heaven’s nose.

With Tribulation Qi interfering with the Great Dao, the Venerables and Great Emperors outside couldn’t detect what was happening here at all.

In other words... they were doomed today!!

’Now that he’d announced his "family name,"’ to prevent any unexpected changes from delay, Wu Dao stopped wasting words. The mighty power erupting from the Heaven-Swallowing Gourd surged dramatically.

On the spot, it sucked all the Great Powers of the Huishi Sect into the Gourd. Inside, black Tribulation Fire churned, refining them into pools of World Mother Liquid.

Meanwhile, Primordial Demons, like a pack of ravenous wolves, grinned menacingly as they brandished Immortal Binding Ropes and pounced on the many disciples of the Huishi Sect in the Abyss.

They were outmatched in equipment and outclassed in cultivation. Space-time was sealed. It was like shooting fish in a barrel; there were no surprises at all. The Semi-Saints and Creation Realm cultivators of the Huishi Sect couldn’t even last a single round.

They were knocked down with a hard slap to the face and tied up tightly like piglets, packaged and carried away.

’Leave some tongues.’

Wu Dao didn’t forget to remind the Primordial Demons. What kind of revenge is it if you don’t leave your name?

’Understood!’

Upon hearing the command, Chen Ergou cackled, reached out, and picked a ’lucky’ one. As fate would have it, he chose Li Xun. After a hard slap, he said coldly:

"Tell the people of the Daluo Celestial Domain that the Dragon Hunting Tower’s reckoning has just begun. Not a single faction that participated in the last siege will escape!"

"Don’t kill... Don’t kill me!"

Li Xun nearly pissed himself in fear. He was no loyal martyr to begin with. Under the threat of death, he immediately began nodding furiously.

"Hahaha, you coward!"

Chen Ergou laughed wildly, casually tossed Li Xun into the Abyss, and continued his pounce on the Semi-Saint Celestial Prides.

Like an autumn wind scattering fallen leaves, a swarm of locusts passed through.

In just a dozen breaths of time, the Heaven-Stealing Alliance had already slaughtered the All Saints of the Huishi Sect and captured all its Celestial Prides, leaving only a few terrified ’tongues’ behind.

In the Imperial Tomb Vault, all the Creation was taken in one fell swoop. Thanks to the Huishi Sect, they were spared the trouble of a second break-in.

That Quasi-Emperor Weapon couldn’t be collected by ordinary means, so Wu Dao had to use the Extreme Dao Bell to suppress and subdue it.

Quasi-Emperor Weapons. He was not short on them. He had over a dozen in the final vault of the Heaven-Burying Emperor’s Tomb, and he didn’t lack the energy to power them either.

However, Wu Dao didn’t plan to reveal these Quasi-Emperor Weapons during this operation. He had other, more important uses for them.

’Go!!’

After the locust swarm passed, Wu Dao didn’t linger for a moment.

His Incarnation, positioned outside the Abyss, had already detected a Venerable’s Magnetic Field frantically traversing space-time from the depths of the Burial Realm, heading in their direction!

Clearly, the various teams of the Huishi Sect maintained constant communication to prevent accidents. The communication had suddenly been cut off! An accident must have occurred!

It wasn’t hard to understand why a Venerable would emerge from the Celestial Demon Burial Area to investigate.

BZZZZ!

Amidst the churning Chaos, the Heaven and Earth Profound Sect, under the control of the logistics-focused Nangong Li, transformed into a vortex. It swallowed Wu Dao and the others, instantly crossing the vast expanse of space-time and returning to the Black Abyss with all their spoils.

After advancing to Semi-Saint, Nangong Li had unlocked more of the Heaven and Earth Profound Sect’s functions. Manifesting a sub-gate was one of them.

As long as she knew the coordinates, and the distance in space-time wasn’t too great, after Nangong Li self-destructed, she could link to the Star Mother network to pinpoint space-time coordinates and manifest one or more two-way sub-gates.

As for the space-time coordinates, those were naturally provided by Wu Dao’s Incarnations, who were acting as inside men within the Imperial Influences.

They didn’t use the Faith Channel because opening a Faith Channel takes time. Once an Incarnation made a move and emitted a Magnetic Field fluctuation, it could no longer remain hidden. Their enemies weren’t fools. They wouldn’t just stand by and do nothing while you coordinated an attack from the inside and opened a portal.

The entire strategy was based on the element of surprise. The instantly appearing Heaven and Earth Profound Sect was undoubtedly the perfect tool for a blitzkrieg.

BOOM!

Just as Wu Dao and his group left, a massive hand that blotted out the vastness of space-time reached out from a distant place, crushing the shattered, chaotic Abyss into a vacuum.

An instant later,

"DRAGON HUNTING TOWER!!!"

A roar, like that of an enraged God and Demon, erupted from the Abyss. It shattered the vast forbidden zone, and countless Pocket Worlds and starry skies were roared into oblivion. The power was utterly terrifying!

And it wasn’t an isolated incident!

At almost the exact same time, in various top-tier Creation Lands across the Burial Realm,

""Argh! That son of a bitch Dragon Hunting Tower!""

A series of enraged roars from Venerables shook the entire Burial Realm, almost triggering a new wave of Tribulation Qi eruptions. One could only imagine the depths of their hatred.

On Wu Dao’s end, although they had encountered some minor obstacles, with his Main Body in the rear controlling a top-tier Big Killing Artifact, ready to provide support through the Heaven and Earth Profound Sect at any moment, they had made it through without any real danger.

However, even the wisest make mistakes. One part of the plan had an unexpected accident.

"Alliance Leader, I failed."

Just as the various Primordial Demons were returning, laden with spoils, Lv Tiezhu’s ashamed voice message came through the Star Mother network.

Hm?

Wu Dao’s brow furrowed slightly. He asked, "Was there an obstacle, or..."

"No." Lv Tiezhu quickly replied, "Someone beat me to it. Just as I found an opportunity to act, a commotion broke out at the Huishi Sect’s Celestial Pride encampment."

"The target was intercepted and kidnapped. The job was clean and efficient, as if it had been planned for a long time. They left no information behind. I don’t know which faction was responsible."

’What a coincidence.’

Wu Dao was genuinely surprised.

Lv Tiezhu’s mission had been to kidnap Qingyu, the Daoist Woman of the Huishi Sect and Ye Xuan’s beautiful confidante, to make it easier to sever his karmic connection with Ye Xuan in the future.

He hadn’t expected such an incredible coincidence. Just as he was about to make his move, Qingyu was kidnapped. Was it a rival faction of the Huishi Sect, or one of Ye Xuan’s enemies?

Wu Dao hadn’t forgotten. After the Burial Realm opened, Ye Xuan had flirted with Qingyu in public more than once.

If it really was one of Ye Xuan’s enemies, any smart one would definitely find a chance to exploit this weakness of his.

’Could it be...’

For some reason, Wu Dao thought of Jiang Han.

The kid had a record. He was also ruthless, vicious, and unscrupulous. It seemed like something he would do.

If it really was him, did that mean he was no longer the same inexperienced person he once was, and now had the confidence to challenge Ye Xuan?

’Interesting.’

It seemed his second disciple, just like Wuchen, had some kind of incredible Great Fortune.

"Come back. Don’t expose yourself."

Wu Dao wasn’t the least bit disappointed. In fact, he felt quite pleased.

A mere little trick was insignificant. It couldn’t compare to the future benefits of his potential ’investment stock’ fully maturing into a ’gold mountain’.
