Chapter 1078: Pangu’s Treasure Trove
Having found the Red Fire Quantitative Stone, the Yellow Dragon did not leave the Red Fire Abyss. It intended to elevate its true form directly to a supreme Dao artifact within that abyss.
Inside the Red Fire Abyss, the Yellow Dragon summoned the Heavenly Earth Sacred Cauldron and had the World Tree create a void barrier in the surrounding space. After entering the Sacred Cauldron, it used its hands to gather all the materials needed for elevation—such as the Red Fire Quantitative Stone, the Void Divine Water, the Ten Thousand Seas Yellow Mud, the Ultimate Yin Divine Armor, the Ultimate Yang-Yin Stone, the Ghostly Sacred Spring, the Starlight Gold Crystals, the Nine-Patterned Demon Stone, and the Thousand-Eye Demon Flower.
However, instead of immediately refining or absorbing these materials, the Yellow Dragon activated the Heavenly Void Art and began meditating in silence.
Hundreds of years passed. When it finally opened its eyes, it formed spells with its hands and kept waving them, causing the materials like the Red Fire Quantitative Stone to be refined one by one within the Heavenly Earth Sacred Cauldron’s formation. Then, they transformed into streams that were absorbed by the Yellow Dragon into its body.
Once these materials entered its body, the Yellow Dragon slowly activated the Supreme Transformation Art to integrate them into itself, turning them into part of its true form. As this transformation occurred, the thirty-three divine artifacts and the Dragon Gate within its body began to emit intense light and resonate with loud hums. Powerful forces radiated from within it.
Tens of thousands of years passed. Inside the Heavenly Earth Sacred Cauldron, golden clouds expanded outward from the Yellow Dragon, gradually covering the entire space. These clouds transformed into golden scales, which formed golden dragons. Eventually, when all the clouds turned into dragons, thunderstorms filled the void, with bolts of lightning spreading everywhere.
This was the calamity of a supreme Dao artifact!
By continuously absorbing and integrating materials like the Red Fire Quantitative Stone, the thirty-three divine artifacts and the Dragon Gate within the Yellow Dragon’s body finally triggered the calamity of a supreme Dao artifact!
As its true form was elevated to a supreme Dao artifact, in the Xuanhuang Great World, beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens, inside the Martial Temple, Wu Tian and the Confucian Sage sat there with gloomy expressions.
“I never expected that even with the Xuanhuang Sacred Lord stepping in, the Yellow Dragon still managed to escape!” Wu Tian said coldly.
The Confucian Sage snorted. “If it weren’t for the Mightiest Dragon Sacred Lord intervening, how could that kid have escaped? But I didn’t expect his true form to be so powerful!”
The strength of the Yellow Dragon’s true form and its formidable attacks far exceeded their expectations.
“I wonder what Xuan Sacred Lord is doing now,” Wu Tian frowned. “How on earth did that Yellow Dragon escape from the Nine Heavens and Nine Lands Void Light Formation we set up?”
“I’m puzzled too. How did he capture Spin Saint?” Confucius Saint also frowned, utterly confused.
“This kid has many secrets; it’s likely not as simple as we thought!” Wu Tian said gravely.
“But what does he want the Red Fire Quantitative Stone for? To make pills?” Confucius Saint looked puzzled.
Wu Tian sneered, “It’s probably not that simple.” In Wu Tian’s opinion, Huang Long came to the Xuanhuang Great World alone for the Red Fire Quantitative Stone, and its use must go beyond just pill-making.
“It doesn’t matter what he uses it for. Now that we’ve acquired all the Red Fire Quantitative Stones from the major merchant guilds, I doubt he can find any more!” Confucius Saint sneered. After a pause, he added, “But with Spin Saint in his hands, do we really have to go to the Wei Long Great World?”
Wu Tian pondered, “This isn’t urgent. Let’s put it aside for now. We have more important things to do.”
“Oh?” Confucius Saint turned to look at Wu Tian in surprise. Suddenly, an idea struck him, and his face lit up with joy. “Could it be…?”
Wu Tian smiled. “That’s right. I’ve located the spirit of the Heaven-Opening Divine Axe. It’s on the Ruins Continent. Though its exact location isn’t confirmed yet, it should be in the core area of the Ruins Continent!”
When Pangu perished, the Heaven-Opening Divine Axe shattered into the Chaos Bell, Pangu’s Banner, and the Taiji Diagram. Although its spirit was severely damaged, it didn’t perish.
“Great! Haha! Then let’s go right away. If we work together, we’ll surely be able to capture it!” Confucius Saint stood up abruptly and laughed loudly.
Wu Tian also stood up and said, “Once we capture this Heaven-Opening Spirit, we’ll be able to find the location of Pangu’s Treasure Vault!” As he spoke, a bloodthirsty glint appeared in Wu Tian’s eyes.
Pangu’s Treasure Vault—the most mysterious treasure vault in the three thousand great worlds.
It was also a treasure vault that even the saints of the three thousand great worlds searched for frantically!
This treasure vault was left behind by Pangu before his death. It contained countless treasures from ages past. Rumor has it that it holds many primordial treasures from the birth of the universe, as well as sacred artifacts of the highest rank!
For countless eras, the saints have been searching for this treasure vault, but no one knows its location.
“Pangu’s Treasure Vault!” Confucius Saint’s face burned with enthusiasm.
“Let’s go!” Wu Tian said before vanishing in a flash.
Confucius Saint followed.
While Wu Tian and Confucius Saint were on their way to the Ruins Continent, within the Red Fire Demon Prison, inside the Heavenly Sacred Cauldron, light surged violently, and dragons roared incessantly.
One after another, calamity thunderbolts crashed from the sky.
A figure kept facing these thunderbolts in the void.
Huang Long soared into the air, punching out repeatedly to scatter each of those thunderbolts.
Although the Yellow Dragon had achieved sanctity and perfected Hunyuan, it still did not dare to be careless in the face of the calamity thunder brought by supreme Dao artifacts. Its body was covered with a layer of emerald-green and golden divine armor—the Heavenly King Sacred Armor formed from the roots and branches of the World Tree.
The calamity thunder from these supreme Dao artifacts was even too dangerous for those at the Hunyuan Supreme Realm to confront barehanded. Yet for the Yellow Dragon clad in the Heavenly King Sacred Armor, it posed no threat at all.
Under the continuous attacks of the Yellow Dragon, these calamity thunders exploded, transforming into purest energy that was then channeled through the Heavenly King Sacred Armor to enhance the Yellow Dragon’s own power. As it integrated more and more of this energy, the thirty-three divine artifacts within its body, along with the Dragon Gate, continued to evolve, rising to the status of supreme Dao artifacts.
A terrifying aura radiated from the Dragon Gate and the thirty-three artifacts.
When all the calamity thunders ceased and the thunderclouds dispersed, a fierce glow burst forth from within the Yellow Dragon once again. The thirty-three divine artifacts and the Dragon Gate resonated simultaneously, causing upheavals in heaven and earth, with various strange sounds—those of demons, beasts, dragons, immortals, and thunder—echoing through the air.
Golden ripples spread outward from the Yellow Dragon like waves.
“I’ve finally reached the supreme level!” After a while, as the golden ripples faded from its body, the Yellow Dragon let out a roar toward the sky. It had reached the supreme level!
Now, even against those at the Hunyuan Unity Realm, the Yellow Dragon could stand its ground.
“It’s time to refine those supreme Dao artifacts and their fragments!” Suppressing his joy, the Yellow Dragon muttered to himself. Then, with a gesture of his hands, he drew out all the supreme Dao artifacts and fragments collected inside the Sacred Cauldron.
Excluding the fragments, there were already twenty-four supreme Dao artifacts alone!
Immediately, the Yellow Dragon sat cross-legged at the center of the Heavenly Earth Sacred Cauldron Formation. It opened its mouth and absorbed each of these supreme Dao artifacts into its body one by one.
