Chapter 0910: Obtaining the Doumu Immortal Palace

With Huang Long exerting all his magical power, the palace complex emitted bursts of dazzling light, and various prohibitive forces were activated to resist his efforts to refine it.
“Huh?!” Seeing this, Huang Long summoned the Chaos Bell and unleashed a fierce pressure wave. With a loud explosion, those prohibitive forces were instantly dispersed.
However, to Huang Long’s surprise, once those forces dispersed, they gathered again.
Amazed, Huang Long activated his Heavenly Eyes and understood the mysteries of this palace complex. He then flashed to the sky above the central palace.
Subsequently, beams of starlight erupted from the Chaos Bell, forming one chaotic star thunder after another, which exploded violently. Waves of terrifying stellar power struck the palace.
After a while, the palace suddenly glowed brilliantly, as if a precious treasure was emerging. A bead flew out from within.
The bead was not large, only the size of a fist, shaped like a human heart, and emitted a faint purple glow.
“Is this the Earth Hidden Star Heart Bead?!” exclaimed Emperor Bell in astonishment.
Earth Hidden Star Heart Bead?
Huang Long’s heart stirred.
If the Starfall Rain Stones that composed the Doumu Immortal Palace were rare divine stones formed from innate stellar power and thus extremely valuable, then this Earth Hidden Star Heart Bead was a hundred thousand times, even a million times more precious!
Legend said that such beads formed after powerful beings from over ten eras died, their hearts merging with innate stellar power and evolving over billions of years.
“Who would have thought that this Earth Hidden Star Heart Bead was refined by that Doumu Star Ancestor into a mid-tier Great Path Divine Artifact to suppress the core array of the Doumu Immortal Palace!” Emperor Bell continued in awe.
A mid-tier Great Path Divine Artifact—yes, this Earth Hidden Star Heart Bead was indeed one!
Moreover, since the Doumu Star Ancestor had died, the bead was now ownerless. With a mere gesture of his palm, Huang Long seized it instantly. He then threw it to Emperor Bell.
“Master, do you want me to swallow this Earth Hidden Star Heart Bead?!” Emperor Bell stared at Huang Long in disbelief.
A mid-tier Great Path Divine Artifact was far superior to a low-tier one—equivalent to five or six low-tier Great Path Divine Artifacts.
Huang Long smiled and said, “Exactly!”
In his view, though the Earth Hidden Star Heart Bead was precious, it was more important to restore the Chaos Bell to its former peak strength. With the Chaos Bell and the Heavenly Sacred Cauldron, these two sacred Great Path Divine Artifacts, he would be fine. Keeping the Earth Hidden Star Heart Bead would not be of much use to him.

Moreover, Huang Liang, Susan, Livia, and the others could no longer unleash the full power of their mid-tier Great Path Divine Artifacts. Once everyone reached the level of Half Saint, it would still be in time for Huang Long to equip them with Great Path Divine Artifacts.

Upon hearing that Huang Long had truly given him the Earth Hidden Star Heart Pearl to devour, Emperor Zhong was overjoyed and said, “Good! This Earth Hidden Star Heart Pearl is a mid-tier Great Path Divine Artifact, containing immense innate star power. After devouring it, I can restore 80% of my peak strength!”

The Core Array of the Chaos Bell was actually the Heavenly Stars Array. If it devoured a Great Path Divine Artifact with innate star power, the effect would be even better, further aiding its recovery of strength.

“Only 80%?!” Huang Long grumbled.

At that moment, Emperor Zhong held the Earth Hidden Star Heart Pearl and turned into a beam of light, entering the body of the Chaos Bell to devour and refine it.

Afterward, Huang Long continued to refine the palace complex of the Core Array.

Since the Earth Hidden Star Heart Pearl, which suppressed the Core Array, had been taken away by Huang Long, the resistance weakened significantly. Soon, Huang Long broke the seals on the palace complex and completely refined it.

The palace complex gradually shrank until it became the size of a palm, turning into a stream of light that fell into Huang Long’s hands.

“The Core Array of this Doumu Immortal Mansion has finally been refined by me!” Huang Long couldn’t hide his joy.

By refining this Doumu Immortal Mansion, Huang Long could now access the Doumu Treasure Vault hidden deep within its space! However, for now, he wasn’t in a hurry to open it. Instead, he channeled his magic to activate the Core Array.

A brilliant light emanated from Huang Long’s palm, and then countless arrays and seals in the numerous spaces and worlds within the Doumu Immortal Mansion were activated.

All the powerful beings inside the mansion felt the ground shake violently as space trembled violently.

“What’s going on? It was fine just a moment ago!”

“Could it be that someone found the Core Array and took control of the Doumu Immortal Mansion?!”

“That must be it! Damn it! Someone got there first!”

The powerful beings speculated, exclaimed, felt resentment, and grew furious.

In the blink of an eye, all of them were flung out of the inner space of the Doumu Immortal Mansion and appeared outside.

After being ejected, they saw that the Doumu Immortal Mansion, which should have been located atop the mountains, was nowhere to be found—completely vanished.

“Damn it! Who got the Doumu Immortal Mansion?!” roared a Demon Ancestor from the World of Ten Thousand Demons. “If I find him, I’ll tear him apart!”

This Demon Ancestor possessed the strength of nine eras and was an elder of the Immortal Demon Sect, known as the Heaven-Defying Demon Ancestor. His body was engulfed in raging demonic flames, causing all the surrounding powerful beings to retreat in fear.

However, one of the two-era demi-saints slowed down as he tried to flee, only to be seized by this Heaven-Defying Demon Ancestor, whose hands crushed his head to pieces. The powerful warriors around them broke into cold sweats. In the distance, disciples of the Heavenly Dao Sect such as Chi Rong and Ye Hua also frowned. “Seventh Brother, this Heaven-Defying Demon Ancestor is too arrogant!” Ye Hua couldn’t help but say. “Don’t create unnecessary complications. The most important thing now is to find out who has obtained the Doumu Immortal Mansion!” Chi Rong raised his hand. Ye Hua said, “Originally, with Seventh Brother’s strength, he should have been able to overpower everyone and claim the Doumu Immortal Mansion for himself. But unexpectedly, someone else found the core formation first. If we can catch that person and bring him back to the headquarters of the Heavenly Dao Sect, we must make his life worse than death!” “And that kid from the Golden Dragon clan—after so many days, no one knows where he’s gone!” Another disciple of the Heavenly Dao Sect muttered. “Strange, the seven members of the Panlong clan are also missing? What’s going on?!” Ye Hua looked puzzled. Chi Rong pondered, “It seems they’ve most likely been killed!” The seven members of the Dragon Battle clan couldn’t have disappeared for no reason. “Killed?! Someone actually dared to kill them?” Ye Hua and the others were shocked. “Forget about this!” Chi Rong waved his hand. “Let’s go. That kid from the Golden Dragon clan still hasn’t shown up, but he probably hasn’t left the Chaos Abyss yet. Keep searching! Also, the one who got the Doumu Immortal Mansion can’t have gone far!” With that, he emitted a beam of light that enveloped Ye Hua and the other disciples of the Heavenly Dao Sect, then flew away. The other powerful warriors also left one after another, but like Chi Rong and the rest, they didn’t leave the Chaos Abyss and continued their search. Meanwhile, Huang Long, who had seized the Doumu Immortal Mansion, kept using the Heavenly Sacred Cauldron to fly toward the outskirts of the Chaos Abyss. Now, Huang Long was eager to find a safe place to devour and refine the bodies of the seven members of the Dragon Battle clan, thereby advancing his strength by five eras!
