Chapter 0877: It’s a King-Class Spiritual Vein!

“I’m fainting! I’m really fainting!” Everyone was shocked. Pi Long was even more agitated, his legs trembling as he spoke incoherently, looking on the verge of passing out.
Pi Long’s reaction actually made the stunned crowd snap back to reality, and they burst into laughter.
“A primordial divine artifact, a rare treasure from heaven and earth, a primordial divine pill—but no spiritual veins?!” Huang Long glanced around before speaking.
“Master, this is only the outer layer of the treasure vault; there’s another layer inside!” The six Divine Kings quickly replied, then formed hand seals to reveal the inner door.
Seeing this, Huang Long used the Chaos Bell to break the restrictions of the inner layer and opened the door.
Unlike the outer layer, the inner layer contained no planets but instead numerous spiritual veins resembling rivers in the sky! These veins wandered through the void, numbering over a hundred!
Among them, some were second-class, while others were first-class.
“A King-Class Spiritual Vein! It’s a King-Class Spiritual Vein!” Suddenly, Ao Ke shouted, pointing at the largest and longest vein among them.
If second-class and first-class spiritual veins were like small reptiles, then this King-Class Spiritual Vein was like a giant dragon—a true dragon!
Even when the power of all those over a hundred second-class and first-class veins was combined, it still paled in comparison to this one King-Class Spiritual Vein.
A King-Class Spiritual Vein—truly the best among spiritual veins!
Amidst those over a hundred veins, it stood like a king, with all the surrounding veins constantly swirling around it.
Huang Long was also extremely surprised upon seeing this King-Class Spiritual Vein.
It was the first King-Class Spiritual Vein he had ever encountered. He never expected to find one in this Nine Heavens Treasure Vault! He also wondered how the Nine Heavens Master had obtained it.
When these spiritual veins saw Huang Long and the others, they all turned around and launched an attack on them.
However, just as they were about to attack, the restrictions within the treasure vault activated, sending the veins bouncing back.
These restrictions had been set up jointly by the Nine Heavens Master and his two vice masters.
Though suppressed by the vault’s restrictions, if Huang Long wanted to fully subdue these veins and put them to use, he would have to take action himself—just as he had done to subdue the five first-class spiritual veins sealed within the Nine Li Demon Ancestor’s spatial artifact.
“Step back,” Huang Long said, ordering everyone to retreat before flying into the midst of the veins.
As soon as Huang Long entered, the veins launched a coordinated attack.
These veins—second-class ones capable of matching supreme divine warriors, and first-class ones capable of matching Divine King-level warriors—when attacking together, possessed enough destructive power to ruin an advanced divine realm.

If not for the Yellow Dragon having reached the later stage of two eras, it would likely have been overwhelmed by these spiritual veins. The Yellow Dragon snorted coldly, dashed forward in a flash to evade the attacks of the spiritual veins, and with a single palm motion, instantly grasped those over sixty second-grade spiritual veins. With a pulse of his magical power, he shattered the seals within them and imposed restrictions at the same time. In the blink of an eye, all sixty-plus second-grade spiritual veins were subdued! After subduing them all and placing them into the Sacred Cauldron, the Yellow Dragon turned to look at the over forty first-grade spiritual veins. Subduing those sixty second-grade spiritual veins angered the over forty first-grade ones. Immediately, those first-grade veins became even more violent, with surging streams of spiritual energy shooting out like waters from the Milky Way, fiercely attacking the Yellow Dragon. To his surprise, these first-grade veins formed a mysterious formation, multiplying their power! Seeing this, the Yellow Dragon snorted coldly, threw out his fists, and in the blink of an eye dispersed their attacks. Then, with both hands, he grasped ten first-grade veins, shattered their seals, imposed restrictions, and put them into the Sacred Cauldron—all in one go. With those ten first-grade veins subdued, the formation collapsed. The remaining thirty-plus first-grade veins also couldn’t escape being subdued; within a few breaths, they were all taken care of by the Yellow Dragon and placed into the Heavenly Earth Sacred Cauldron. If the Yellow Dragon still had the cultivation level of just one era, subduing those over forty first-grade veins would have taken more effort. But now, having reached the later stage of two eras, it was a trivial task. After subduing all forty first-grade veins, only one king-grade spiritual vein remained. Fortunately, this king-grade vein did not join the other forty in attacking the Yellow Dragon. It coiled in the void, looking down at the Yellow Dragon as if disdainful of joining them in dealing with him. “Hm?!” The Yellow Dragon used his Heavenly Eye and realized that the power contained within this king-grade vein was comparable to that of a warrior from four eras! In other words, in terms of power alone, this king-grade vein was even stronger than the Nine Heavens Sect Master! “Kid, you’re quite strong—late stage of two eras?” At that moment, the spiritual energy of the king-grade vein fluctuated, and it spoke as if it were a human. This king-grade vein had given birth to a deity akin to the spirit of a divine artifact. The one who spoke was precisely the spirit of this vein. “Were you sent by the Nine Heavens Sect Master to suppress this place? The Nine Heavens Sect Master has been killed by me. I advise you not to resist!” the Yellow Dragon said calmly.

“Hehe, that bastard Jiu Tian was killed by you? It was he who schemed to plant a restriction in my body back then; otherwise, how could he, such a weakling from just three eras, ever suppress me?” The royal-grade spiritual vein was stirred by old grievances and started screaming frantically.
“Well? Kid, with your strength, you can’t possibly suppress me. How about we do business instead?” After a while, the royal-grade spiritual vein calmed down and said.
Do business?
Do business with a royal-grade spiritual vein? Huang Long found it amusing and said, “Oh, what kind of business?” He wanted to see what tricks this royal-grade spiritual vein had up its sleeve.
“Unlock the restrictions on this treasure vault and let me out, and I’ll tell you about a treasure—even Jiu Tian’s sect leader doesn’t know about it!” the royal-grade spiritual vein said slowly.
“A treasure?” Huang Long’s heart stirred. Could it be the treasure of the Heaven-Subverting Demon Ancestor? He only had half of the treasure map now. Could this royal-grade spiritual vein know where the treasure was without the other half?!
“The right one! A huge treasure! Compared to that, Jiu Tian’s treasure vault is nothing at all! For that huge treasure alone, there are already over a dozen royal-grade spiritual veins! And there are also five half-saint skeletons!”
“What? Over a dozen royal-grade spiritual veins and five half-saint skeletons!” Huang Long was shocked.
If that was true, then Jiu Tian’s treasure vault really was nothing!
Over a dozen royal-grade spiritual veins!
Five half-saint skeletons!
With those five half-saint skeletons, if he merged them with five of Huang Yi’s people, Huang Long’s forces could gain five more half-saint-level warriors!
After a while, Huang Long suppressed his shock and said, “You’re talking about the treasure of the Heaven-Subverting Demon Ancestor, right? Unfortunately, I’ve already obtained half of the treasure map, and I’ve also figured out where the other half is!”
“The treasure of the Heaven-Subverting Demon Ancestor?” the royal-grade spiritual vein replied, “Of course, I’m not talking about that!”
