Chapter 0132: Advanced Immortal Artifact

From the memories Angus had just passed on to Huang Long, Huang Long learned the reason for the great war among the gods on the Continent of Gods tens of thousands of years ago.
Tens of thousands of years ago, the Supreme Spirit Liquid appeared in the Netherworld and was obtained by one of the higher gods. When news of it spread, countless powerful beings from various divine realms pursued it, and the major families also sent their strongest members.
Angus, as a powerful young member of the Runing Family—one of the six major families in the Netherworld—followed his family’s orders and joined this struggle.
Later, the higher god who obtained the Supreme Spirit Liquid fled to the Hengyuan Realm. There, he was blocked by the gods. During the ensuing battles, Angus was severely wounded in the back by Fei De, a higher god from his own family who had accompanied him. As his dragon soul was about to dissipate, Angus used a secret technique to seal his remaining essence, hoping that someone from his family would come to save him.
Of course, no one from the Runing Family showed up. Tens of thousands of years passed, and Angus’s remaining soul was on the verge of extinction.
Fei De, who tried to kill Angus out of revenge for the severe wounds, was motivated by a woman named Anlise. Anlise was a member of the Beikal Family, another of the six major families in the Netherworld. Both Angus and Fei De were courting Anlise. Eventually, she chose Angus, and they set a wedding date while Angus was on a family mission in the Hengyuan Realm. Unluckily, Angus never returned to the Netherworld.
This was also the request Angus made to Huang Long as his soul faded away.
Of course, in return, Huang Long could obtain all of Angus’s lifetime collections once he entered the Netherworld.
Angus had practiced for hundreds of thousands of years and was a powerful young member of the Runing Family—one of the six major families. It was easy to imagine the scale of his collections.
The Netherworld was one of the four supreme divine realms, and Huang Long would eventually go there anyway. He wasn’t very interested in Angus’s collections. Informing Anlise about Angus’s situation was a trivial matter for him.
Besides, in a way, Angus and he were somewhat “related”—both were “Dragon Gods.”
So, without much thought, Huang Long agreed to Angus’s dying request.
Seeing Huang Long agree, Angus gave him a comforting look before dissipating into the air.
Before dying, Angus made this request because he recognized Huang Long’s strength—having reached the Holy Realm at such a young age, Huang Long would eventually enter a divine realm. Moreover, the aura around Huang Long inspired an inexplicable sense of trust in Angus, and he had no other choice.

Angus the Dragon God’s spirit dissipated, his divine dragon body still lying quietly in the Great Hall of the Immortals’ Pavilion, unchanged as before, through the ages. Bog and the others stood there in shock, unable to react for a moment. What on earth was going on? Even now, they were completely confused. The Netherworld? Alis? The Yellow Dragon stepped forward, looked at the dragon body that was over two hundred zhang long, frowned, and finally said, “Since that’s the case, I’ll merge you with the Immortals’ Pavilion.” The Immortals’ Pavilion—now the Yellow Dragon intended to refine it into his own life treasure. It was just one step away from evolving into an immortal artifact, and once an artifact evolved into an immortal artifact, it could give rise to a spirit guardian. By merging Angus’s dragon body into the Immortals’ Pavilion, the Yellow Dragon planned to use it as the spirit guardian of the pavilion. As a spirit guardian, it would not be a disservice to Angus the Dragon God’s status. Originally, the Yellow Dragon had planned to absorb and refine the essence of this dragon body to reach the peak of the Sacred Realm, but now he had changed his mind. If the Immortals’ Pavilion evolved into an immortal artifact and produced a spirit guardian, then similarly, the Yellow Dragon’s strength would also increase greatly. The Yellow Dragon stretched out his hands, lifted Angus’s dragon body, and with a shout, it flew upward, gradually ascending above the Great Hall of the Immortals’ Pavilion, before eventually merging into it. With the dragon body integrated, the Immortals’ Pavilion began to vibrate violently. Mysterious forces emanated from the dragon body, causing tremendous changes within the pavilion. First was its space. Under the astonished gazes of Bog and the others, the Immortals’ Pavilion expanded like an inflating balloon. Then came the palaces within it; those palaces seemed to be imbued with some kind of spiritual energy, shining brightly, while the Netherworld Divine Tree continued to grow taller. Waves of terrifying spiritual energy filled the space of the Immortals’ Pavilion and spread out, making everyone feel as if they were in a realm of spiritual liquid. In an instant, the bodies of the Yellow Dragon, Bog, and the others began to boil. Indeed, just like being in clouds, that spiritual liquid penetrated their bodies, transforming into surging streams of energy. The Yellow Dragon’s expression changed, and he shouted, “Everyone, calm your minds and absorb and circulate this energy with all your strength!” After saying that, he sat cross-legged and began to practice the “Water-Fire Primordial Dragon Technique.” As the technique was practiced, two water dragons coiled around each other. Bog, Nat, and Gusta also quickly sat cross-legged and began to practice the divine techniques taught by the Yellow Dragon, constantly absorbing the spiritual liquid to transform it into their own magic power and combat energy.

Inside the Group of Immortals Pavilion resided the Yellow Dragon’s original spirit, while the dragon’s physical body was also seated in meditation, practicing the “Water-Fire Primordial Dragon Art.” From within the pavilion, that terrifying spiritual fluid seeped out and flowed into every tendon and vein of the Yellow Dragon’s body, violently tearing through its muscles and every part of its physique. The Yellow Dragon frowned deeply as, under the impact of this fluid, its body—originally made of top-grade precious materials—began to crack apart bit by bit, just like the ground in a desert over the years. Layers of blood droplets seeped from its surface. Gradually, the Yellow Dragon turned into a blood-covered figure. Both the physical body and its original spirit inside the pavilion trembled violently under the onslaught of this terrifying energy, its brows tightening and relaxing as it endured unimaginable pain. Yet, such pain was nothing to the Yellow Dragon. After countless tens of thousands of years, its Dao heart had become unshakable; even mental demons could noterode, corrode, wear away： erode, corrode, wear away it, let alone physical pain. This spiritual fluid was actually the essence contained within the Dragon God’s body. Essence was not just blood—it contained divine power as well as blood. Without even mentioning how powerful the blood from Angus’s Dragon God’s body, cultivated over hundreds of thousands of years, was, even his power as a higher-tier god was extremely terrifying. Of course, the spiritual fluid now was only a tiny fraction of the essence that had leaked out accidentally when Angus’s Dragon God’s body merged into the Group of Immortals Pavilion. If all of that essence were to burst forth, not to mention the Yellow Dragon and others, even a mid-tier god’s body would not be able to withstand it and would explode. Gradually, after an hour, the Water-Fire Dual Dragons within the Yellow Dragon’s physical body and spirit underwent incredible changes. They not only grew larger and thicker by half but also developed a dense layer of dragon scales on their bodies. Yes, dragon scales. The Water-Fire Dual Dragons had originally formed from the primordial dragon energy generated after the Yellow Dragon practiced the “Water-Fire” Primordial Dragon Art—created from spiritual energy. Now, with the appearance of dragon scales, it was clear that the dual dragons were gradually evolving into spiritual entities, indicating that the Yellow Dragon’s “Water-Fire Primordial Dragon Art” had reached the advanced stage of the “Responding Dragon Realm.” Two hours later, the dragon scales became even denser, covering the entire bodies of the Water-Fire Dual Dragons. Once fully covered, the dragons roared, successfully pushing back Angus’s spiritual fluid. Bog and the others, sitting beside the Yellow Dragon and absorbing energy while protected by the Water-Fire Dual Dragons around him, were able to avoid having their bodies burst apart due to the spiritual fluid derived from Angus’s essence. More than three hours passed.

The Yellow Dragon continued to practice the “Water-Fire Primordial Dragon Art.” Meanwhile, the spiritual liquid inside the Immortals Pavilion gradually became thinner, like mist. More than four hours passed, and at that moment, both the physical body and the primordial spirit of the Yellow Dragon suddenly stood up. With a roar that echoed across the sky, it soared upward, its body covered in dragon scales as it took shape naturally. The dried blood clots that had formed its physical body shattered and flew apart. At the high altitude where the Yellow Dragon stood, two dragons—one of water and one of fire—coiled around it. Streams of energy pushed aside the dark clouds in the skies above the Gods’ Continent, clearing the darkness over several miles and revealing brightness everywhere. “Great Annihilation Fist!” “Heaven-Shrouding Great Hand Seal!” The Yellow Dragon felt an overwhelming surge of power and couldn’t help but unleash its divine techniques. Under the onslaught of techniques such as the “Great Annihilation Fist,” “Heaven-Shrouding Great Hand Seal,” and “Purple Thunder Sky Blade,” it seemed as though heaven and earth might collapse. The ground around it trembled violently, cracking and sinking! After the Yellow Dragon finished unleashing its power, the ground within several miles had sunk by over ten zhang! Everything was destroyed, leaving only endless dark dust in the air. “I’ve finally reached the peak of the Sacred Realm!” The Yellow Dragon felt thrilled as it sensed the power in its body. The peak of the Sacred Realm—the true pinnacle of those who mastered it! From then on, the Yellow Dragon joined ranks with Dragon Emperor Felix, Pope Hades, Demon King Wifer, and others. What delighted it even more was that its primordial spirit also benefited and reached the peak of the Sacred Realm. Inside the Immortals Pavilion, a five-clawed golden dragon kept coiling around. This five-clawed golden dragon was the spirit formed when the Immortals Pavilion evolved into an immortal artifact. However, it was no longer Angus’s previous Dragon God form. This dragon was much larger, over 300 zhang in length, and its appearance differed from Angus’s Dragon God form—its horns were coral-shaped, giving it even more majestic presence. This was a true divine dragon! It was the golden dragon form from the Yellow Dragon’s past life! But that golden dragon in its past life was over a thousand zhang long. This five-clawed golden dragon would grow larger as the Immortals Pavilion continued to evolve. Bog, Nat, Gusta, the Sky-Blue Python Ox, the Fat Lion, and others also woke up, each experiencing a significant boost in their cultivation levels. Bog finally reached the advanced stage of the Sacred Realm, while Gusta and the Fat Lion advanced from the advanced stage to the peak of the Sacred Realm. Nat, who had recently reached the initial stage of the Sacred Realm with the Yellow Dragon’s help, also advanced to the intermediate stage, and the Sky-Blue Python Ox reached the peak of the intermediate stage.
