Chapter 1758: Chapter 770: Fire Qiong Supreme? Ancient Ruins

“So soon? Did it really appear just like that?”

“Could it be that it might finally be born?” Heart Dream God Emperor muttered to himself, “The four Top Eternal Dao are indeed very close.”

“Then let Fire Qiong help one more time.” Heart Dream God Emperor gently closed his eyes.

…

Within the Long River Ruins, in the Void River number 39, a sprawling Water Mansion lay hidden deep within the vast watery domain.

“The losses this time aren’t too big.” Black Ancient Spirit Hu Luo was perched upon the throne within the hall, silently pondering.

More than a dozen Emperor Realm White Ancient Spirits dead? It doesn’t make much difference to it.

Among the Ancient Spirit Clan, Black Ancient Spirits possess an Innate Divine Ability to control the minds of White Ancient Spirits… but there is a limit to the number they can control simultaneously.

With one batch dead, after waiting for a First Stage, the number of White Ancient Spirits under its command will once again reach its Limit.

As for treasures worth 15 billion Eternal Crystals? They’re of little use to it, having already crafted the Water Mansion.

“However!”

“Just let go of the Heart Source Quasi-Saint like this?” A trace of resentment flashed in Hu Luo’s heart, and upon closing its eyes, its mind was filled with a desire to devour.

Time and again, it tempted its consciousness.

“The Heart Source Quasi-Saint’s Might is too strong; by myself, it’s very difficult to consume him.” Hu Luo gritted its teeth, “Moreover, he has many True Bodies across the Cosmic Space-Time. If I truly offend him, I might suffer greatly in the future.”

The reason why it lowered its head and even showed some weakness, even explaining to Li Yuan, was to quell Li Yuan’s hostility.

After all, Beihai Supreme’s exploits of slaying Supreme Ancient Spirits are not considered too distant for many Black Ancient Spirits.

Never offend a Cultivator Supreme.

This is the consensus among the Ancient Spirit Clan within Long River Ruins… In terms of Might, every Cultivator Supreme is terrifying and superior to Supreme Ancient Spirits.

Supreme Ancient Spirits generally can only rely on their Ancient Spirit Ruins Realm to fend off Cultivator Supremes.

Of course, due to some special reasons, Cultivator Supremes also seldom venture into Long River Ruins.

“Spread the news to other Black Ancient Spirits? Even if the Heart Source Quasi-Saint, it’s not necessarily my turn.” Various thoughts flashed through Hu Luo’s mind.

Suddenly.

“Hmm?” Hu Luo’s eyes flashed with a hint of dread, growling lowly, “Everyone, get out!”

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Numerous Emperor Realm White Ancient Spirits fled the Main Hall in fear, leaving the hall empty with only Hu Luo.

Immediately, Hu Luo flew down from the throne, arriving at the center of the grand hall, directly kneeling.

Followed by~ Buzz~

An intangible ripple swept through, and a colossal Phantom of a Black Ancient Spirit materialized in the hall’s void. Although it was a Phantom, it emitted an aura akin to supreme Might.

“Hu Luo, greetings Fire Qiong Supreme.” Hu Luo reverently greeted, feeling extremely nervous.

Supreme Ancient Spirits!

Each Supreme Ancient Spirit represents the Peak existence within Long River Ruins and is an object of admiration for countless Ancient Spirits… Hu Luo is a member under Fire Qiong Supreme.

However, over the long years, aside from occasional visits by Supreme Ancient Spirits to Hu Luo’s territory, Hu Luo has had rare opportunities to meet them.

At other times.

Hu Luo generally lacks the qualifications to directly meet Supreme Ancient Spirits, so despite living for billions of years, Hu Luo has seen Fire Qiong Supreme only a handful of times.

“Hu Luo.” Fire Qiong Supreme’s voice was ethereal, “Not long ago, did you engage with the Heart Source Quasi-Saint?”

“Yes!” Hu Luo felt shaken inside.

How did Fire Qiong Supreme know? The encounter with the Heart Source Quasi-Saint happened not long ago! Could the Heart Source Quasi-Saint have leaked the information himself?

“There’s no need to concern yourself with how I know,” Fire Qiong Supreme seemed to see through Hu Luo’s doubts, speaking indifferently, “I have only one command.”

“Forget this incident, and do not leak this information to other Cultivator forces or other Ancient Spirits.”

“Otherwise, you know the consequences of defying me.” Fire Qiong’s voice was detached, overlooking Hu Luo below.

“Understood.” Hu Luo bowed his head respectfully.

Hu Luo was well aware of the methods of Supreme Ancient Spirits; several Ancient Spirit Dominators had defied the orders of Supreme Ancient Spirits, only to meet their demise.

Supreme Ancient Spirits possess various extraordinary abilities within Long River Ruins; they may not be much use against Cosmic Cultivators.

But against other Ancient Spirits, they wield innate suppression.

Whoosh!

Fire Qiong Supreme’s Phantom dissipated.

“Could it be that the Heart Source Quasi-Saint knows Fire Qiong Supreme?” Hu Luo pondered suspiciously, but regardless of the reason, it understood.

This opportunity was lost forever to myself.

…

After the battle with Hu Luo, day after day, Li Yuan and his two companions encountered no further threats; throughout their journey, no Ancient Spirits were encountered.

Occasionally encountering some Cosmic Cultivators, Star Sky God Emperor would use Divine Skills to shield Li Yuan’s aura, directly avoiding them.

In fact, this is the norm while traveling the Void River.

Jue Xing Divine Emperor and Star Sky God Emperor both felt more relaxed. They originally thought they’d face many fierce battles along the way, yet only Li Yuan understood… this peaceful journey is likely connected to Heart Dream God Emperor.

In the blink of an eye.

Two months had passed since Li Yuan’s arrival.
