Chapter 1030: The Peak of the Later Twelve Eras

“That yellow dragon relied on its divine artifact and managed to escape. Qing Sha and I from the Heavenly Dao Sect were unable to chase it!” Gu Han said in a solemn tone after calming his expression slightly.
The yellow dragon escaped? Qi Ye was surprised and puzzled but dared not ask further.
After speaking, Gu Han glanced coldly at the Golden Dragon Five Dragon Sons and the few people behind them.
The Golden Dragon Five Dragon Sons’ smiles froze for a moment before they forced smiles and said, “I knew that yellow dragon wasn’t a match for Brother Gu Han. It escaped, but next time we meet, it will surely die at Brother Gu Han’s hands!”
“That’s right! That yellow dragon will definitely die at Brother Gu Han’s hands!”
“By then, its sacred divine artifacts— the Chaos Bell and the Heavenly Earth Sacred Cauldron—will all belong to Brother Gu Han!”
The other powerful figures also forced smiles and agreed.
Gu Han let out a cold snort.
Apart from the Dragon Hall members, the others were more or less connected to various major superpowers in the Three Thousand Great Worlds. If not for restraint, Gu Han would have crushed them one by one.
However, though they might avoid capital punishment, they couldn’t escape lesser punishments.
With a flash, Gu Han punched several people behind the Dragon Hall, sending them flying into the Dragon Lake, causing water to splash everywhere.
After a while, those people emerged from the bottom of the lake, looking disheveled.
“Hmph, this is just a small warning to you. If you dare to escape again, I’ll cripple you. Do you hear me?!” Gu Han said coldly.
The powerful figures hurriedly nodded in panic.
“Brother Dragon Hall, don’t you still need to find the Golden Dragon Dharma Pearl? Let’s go!” Gu Han turned and said.
The Golden Dragon Five Dragon Sons realized what he meant and quickly nodded, “Yes, yes! Let’s go!”
They vanished from the surface of the Dragon Lake in a flash.
Not long after, ripples appeared above the lake, and a figure appeared—Qing Cang, the eldest disciple of the Heavenly Dao Sect.
Qing Cang stared at the direction where Gu Han and the others had disappeared, his eyes cold and gleaming. Then he turned his gaze to another direction—the one where he had fought the yellow dragon earlier.
“Yellow dragon, don’t worry. This time, in the Ancient Dragon Ruins, I will definitely find the Luo Hai Divine Crystal!” Qing Cang’s eyes burned with killing intent. “Once I obtain the Luo Hai Divine Crystal and achieve sainthood, crushing you will be as easy as killing a dog!”
Generally speaking, for a sage to achieve sainthood, killing a peak warrior from the later twelve eras was indeed as easy as killing a dog.
“Damn it! If it weren’t for you blocking me at the Treasure Refining Tower, I would have gotten the Luo Hai Divine Crystal long ago. Maybe I would have already achieved sainthood by now!” Qing Cang said with hatred.

At the Auction Hall of the Treasure Refining Tower back then, the Luo Hai Divine Crystal he wanted to bid on was purchased by Huang Long. This very Luo Hai Divine Crystal was the key to his attainment of sainthood. This time, as he entered the Ancient Dragon Ruins, aside from killing Huang Long, there was another important task: to find that Luo Hai Divine Crystal. He had learned that it could be found deep within the Ancient Dragon Ruins. After a while, Qing Cang soared away in a flash, disappearing from above the Dragon Lake. The Dragon Lake returned to complete calm. Half a month later, above a mountain range in the Ancient Dragon Ruins, a terrifying dragon aura surged into the sky, with dragon roars echoing, causing the entire mountain range to tremble. This dragon aura was even stronger than the one Huang Long had exerted earlier, which Qing Cang and Gu Han had felt! Yet this time, it did not alarm anyone. Because this dragon aura and roars did not spread outward; the space around the mountain range, for billions of miles, seemed to be locked by some powerful force. With the dragon aura filling the sky and golden light flashing, finally, a loud laugh rang out, and a figure appeared through the air—Huang Long himself. Standing high in the sky, golden light around his body transformed into golden dragons that swam in the air around him, while Huang Long appeared like the king of these dragons. “Finally, reaching the peak of the later stage of the Twelfth Era!” “The peak of the later stage of the Twelfth Era!” Huang Long clenched his fists, his dragon energy surging to form columns of light that spun rapidly, enveloping all directions. Long Cheng and the others, who had just emerged, stepped back in shock, their faces filled with fear. After a while, the dragon aura around Huang Long receded like a tide. Long Cheng and the others felt as if a mountain had fallen off their backs; they relaxed slightly and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Still, they could not hide their shock. They understood that Huang Long had broken through again! “Heavens, what kind of extraordinary reincarnation is he? He’s broken through again!” Long Cheng was overwhelmed with shock. Although he was the young clan leader of the Golden Dragon clan and quite experienced, he had never seen such a terrifying existence in so many eras! Breaking through continuously in just one month! Even lower or middle-ranked gods could not achieve such breakthroughs, let alone a semi-saint, and one from the Twelfth Era! “Has he already reached the peak of the later stage of the Twelfth Era? Absolutely, it’s the peak!” The other powerful figures were equally astonished. Reaching the peak of the later stage of the Twelfth Era meant just one more step to attaining sainthood—a saint at the Hunyuan Supreme Realm! Although attaining sainthood was extremely difficult, with three thousand great worlds and a hundred eras, it might not even produce one such saint. But for Huang Long, would it be hard?! At his rate of breakthrough, it wouldn’t be long before Huang Long achieved sainthood!

“Brother Huang Long, congratulations on breaking through again!” It took some time before Long Cheng calmed down from his shock and flew over with a smiling face. The other three also regained their composure and stepped forward to offer their congratulations. Huang Long smiled and exchanged a few polite words with Long Cheng and the others. This was indeed something worth celebrating! One more step, and he would achieve the status of a Sage. Although this step was extremely difficult for others, Huang Long was confident he could succeed. As long as he found the Wanluo Divine Water and swallowed that drop of Sage essence, he could slay his third corpse and reach the Sage realm! “Brother Huang Long, if we encounter Qing Cang and Gu Han again, even if they team up, they won’t be able to escape you!” Long Cheng said with conviction. Huang Long smiled. If he encountered those two again, he was indeed confident he could kill them both. “Let’s go search for the Golden Dragon Dharma Bead!” After a while, Huang Long and the others flew away to continue their search for the Golden Dragon Dharma Bead. A month later, Huang Long and his group appeared above a plain deep within the Ancient Dragon Ruins. Over this month, along with those previously sought Golden Dragon Dharma Beads, they had now gathered more than 500 of them! There were roughly a thousand Golden Dragon Dharma Beads in total in the Ancient Dragon Ruins. It could be said that Long Cheng was already in the lead, so Huang Long and his group stopped searching for more Golden Dragon Dharma Beads and began looking for materials like Dragon Yang Silver Stone and Golden Dragon Purple Wood. Once they found materials like Dragon Yang Silver Stone and Golden Dragon Purple Wood needed to ascend to the Dragon Gate, it would be much easier to find materials for other divine artifacts. By then, Huang Long’s true form could ascend to the King-class! “This is the Silver Dragon Plain!” Long Cheng pointed at the plain ahead. From what they knew, one of the materials Huang Long was looking for, Dragon Yang Silver Stone, was located on this Silver Dragon Plain.
