Chapter 0228: Primordial Crystal Stone

The Realm of Thunderflame, the Orc Empire, and the Holy Church are gone!
When the news spread that Yellow Dragon had killed Zevi and his companions, the entire Continent of Hengyuan erupted in turmoil.
This year, Yellow Dragon rose to power!
This year, the Dragon Language Empire, the Blizzard Empire, the Dark Forest Empire, the Orc Empire, the Dragon Clan, the Realm of Thunderflame, and the Holy Church all succumbed to destruction one after another.
It was all related to Yellow Dragon.
Yellow Dragon—a man who continuously created miracles—was worshipped by the people of the Continent of Hengyuan, sparking a wave of fanaticism. Yet for the Dragon Clan, the Holy Church, and others, he was a terrifying death god, a demon!
The Continent of Hengyuan was in an uproar. Three days after killing Zevi and his companions, Yellow Dragon officially announced through Bogue his intention to establish a super empire over the seas!
The name of this empire: the Four Seas Empire!
In the previous world of Pangu, Yellow Dragon belonged to the ancient dragon clan, and the Four Seas was their homeland.
The name “Four Seas” was chosen accordingly. At the same time, Yellow Dragon secretly hoped to restore the glory of the dragon clan in the world of Pangu.
Yellow Dragon intended to build a super empire—the Four Seas Empire—in the Endless Sea! This news was even more shocking than the killing of Zevi and his companions, causing even greater turmoil on the Continent of Hengyuan.
Almost instantly, everyone’s attention on the Continent of Hengyuan turned to Red Water Island.
“What?! Senior Yellow Dragon wants to establish the Four Seas Empire in the Endless Sea?”
“It’s true! One of my cousins lives on Red Water Island right now!”
“If Senior Yellow Dragon builds the Four Seas Empire in the Endless Sea, what will the Sea Clan do? They surely won’t agree, right?!”
“The Sea Clan? What are they anyway?! But I heard that the Sea Clan’s sea god, Apton, has already reached some agreements with Senior Yellow Dragon. Not only do they not oppose it, but they even support him in establishing the Four Seas Empire!”
Chatter filled the Continent of Hengyuan.
On the fourth day after killing Zevi and his companions, Yellow Dragon began seclusion. Before heading to the Tianyun Dimensional Space, he wanted to melt the divine bodies of the Hellish Demigods Fran and Xisi, aiming to reach the later stage of the Tribulation as suddenly as possible and enhance his strength.
In the secret chamber of the Four Seas Palace, with a mere thought, Yellow Dragon released the divine bodies of Fran and Xisi.
“Galactic Vortex!”
A glint appeared in Yellow Dragon’s eyes. Soon, a vast galaxy emerged around his body. As the galaxy spun, streams of star power continuously struck the two divine bodies.
Just like when he had severed Lin Youwu’s divine body before, the star power cutting through their withered bodies emitted streaks of sickly green light.

Half an hour, an hour, half a day passed. What worried Huang Long was that there wasn’t the slightest change in the bodies of those two. After all, Lin Youwu’s body had begun to collapse just half an hour later. Fortunately, Huang Long had already prepared elixirs to restore his magical power, so after half a day, thanks to the Netherworld Divine Tree absorbing spiritual energy and the support of the elixirs, he didn’t suffer from a lack of magical power. Thus, a day passed. When the bodies of Hell Demon Gods FranSis (or Sis) still showed no signs of change, Huang Long had no choice but to unleash his Samadhi Flame continuously. Yet, three days passed. The bodies of FranSis (or Sis) remained unchanged. By the sixth day, nine days after killing Ze Wei and the others, their bodies still showed no reaction. Finally, Huang Long gave up. When he retracted his magical power, his face turned pale. Even with the support of the Netherworld Divine Tree and elixirs, sustaining the Galaxy Vortex and Samadhi Flame for nine consecutive days was too much for him. Sitting in lotus position and recovering for a while, Huang Long stood up, looked at the two bodies floating in midair, sighed, and then retracted them into the Five Pits Divine Cauldron. FranSis (or Sis) and the others had practiced for millions of years; their bodies as higher gods were naturally incomparable to Lin Youwu’s body as a lower god who had practiced for thousands of years. In the end, Huang Long concluded that with his current strength, he couldn’t destroy the bodies of higher gods. “It seems I can only wait until I reach the realm of an immortal, and then try using heavenly fire,” he thought to himself. After reposing the two bodies in the Five Pits Divine Cauldron, Huang Long emerged from the secret chamber and spent a day with the Huang family. During that time, upon learning that Huang Long was about to embark on a long journey to a dimensional space, his mother Zhao Rong naturally nagged him. However, Zhao Rong also knew her second son wouldn’t listen to her advice, so she could only repeatedly urge him to be careful. On the tenth day, Long Yi, Sea God Apton, Phoenix clan member Simp, and Beilin arrived, and then everyone set off for the Tianyun Dimensional Space. With the farewell of the people on Chishui Island, Huang Long and his companions took off, tore through space, and entered the spatial turbulence. As soon as they entered the turbulence, they felt their movements slow down. Surrounded by violent spatial currents, they grew serious, channeled their magic to form protective barriers around themselves to shield themselves, then determined their direction and slowly flew onward.

In this chaotic spatial turbulence, aside from the fierce turbulence, few other things could be seen. Occasionally, some other tiny crystals would fly by, but they also vanished in an instant. Yet, every time those crystals appeared, Long Yi and the others showed expressions of surprise and disappointment. “These are Prime Crystals! Magical stones that condense the power of the seven elements. The divine stones used as currency in the Divine Realm are forged from these. However, every time they appear, they vanish along with the fierce turbulence, and their impact force is extremely strong—even lower-ranked gods find it difficult to obtain them,” Long Yi explained, noticing the confusion in Yellow Dragon’s eyes. “Prime Crystals?” Yellow Dragon asked. At that moment, another crystal flew by. Just as it was about to vanish, suddenly, a flash of golden light appeared, and under the astonished gazes of Long Yi and the others, it landed in Yellow Dragon’s hand. Especially Long Yi, whose eyes were wide open in disbelief as he stared at the Prime Crystal in Yellow Dragon’s hand—just moments ago he had said it was hard to obtain. The Prime Crystal in Yellow Dragon’s hand was about half the size of a fist, emitting a earthy yellow glow. “This is an Earth-type Prime Crystal!” exclaimed the Sea God Apton. “Half the size of a fist—if exchanged for divine stones, it should be enough to get three divine stones!” Simpu from the Phoenix clan also spoke with envy. “Brother Yellow Dragon, don’t think these three divine stones are insignificant. As far as we know, ordinary low-grade divine artifacts in the Divine Realm are only worth a little over two hundred divine stones,” Simpu continued, seeing Yellow Dragon’s indifferent expression. “Ordinary low-grade divine artifacts are worth a little over two hundred divine stones?” Yellow Dragon looked again at the Earth-type Prime Crystal in his hand, surprised that such an unremarkable object could be so valuable. If he collected seventy or eighty such Earth-type Prime Crystals, wouldn’t that equal owning a low-grade divine artifact? “In our mortal realm, we don’t need these things, but in some dimensional spaces, these Prime Crystals are useful. There are branch stores set up by families from the Divine Realm in those dimensional spaces,” Long Yi said. Yellow Dragon nodded and then stored the Earth-type Prime Crystal in the Five Hells Divine Cauldron. Thus, on the journey ahead, whenever they encountered Prime Crystals in the fierce turbulence, Yellow Dragon would directly store them in the Five Hells Divine Cauldron. However, the dozen or so Prime Crystals they collected next were usually only the size of a thumb, never as large as the half-fist-sized Earth-type Prime Crystal before. A month later, the group finally approached the Tianyun Dimensional Space. In fact, the distance from the Hengyuan Realm to the Tianyun Dimensional Space wasn’t very far. According to Yellow Dragon’s estimate, it was only about three times the north-south distance within the Hengyuan Realm.

But in the world of spatial turbulence, even the strongest beings in the Divine Realm could be severely injured by the turbulence. Therefore, Long Yi and the others had to constantly use their internal magic to maintain a protective shield around their bodies. Whenever their magic ran low, they needed to take pills to recover before continuing, which slowed them down significantly.

Of course, to enter the world of spatial turbulence, one needed to be at least at the Divine Realm level. If a being from the Sacred Realm entered, they would be instantly torn apart by the fierce turbulence.

“This is the Tianyun Dimensional Space?” Standing amidst the spatial turbulence, Huang Long gazed at a huge nebula not far ahead.

At first glance, this massive nebula seemed endless.

“Indeed, this is the Tianyun Dimensional Space!” Long Yi nodded. The month-long journey through the spatial turbulence had left his once-pale face showing signs of joy.

They had finally arrived at the Tianyun Dimensional Space!

If they had to stay in this spatial turbulence for another half month, Long Yi couldn’t imagine whether he could hold on any longer.

Among them, Huang Long was naturally the least strained.

Above Huang Long’s head, the five-directional flags emitted light corresponding to the five elements.

“Let’s go!” Huang Long took off and headed toward the huge nebula.

Although it seemed close, it was three days later when they actually reached the Tianyun Dimensional Space after passing through the energy barriers formed by the nebula.

After passing through the energy barriers, everyone felt their bodies shake violently. Then, the scenery around them changed, and they found themselves in a vast starry expanse.

In this vast starry expanse, everything was void except for endless drifting nebulae.

At that moment, Huang Long looked at Long Yi and the others.

They had finally arrived at the Tianyun Dimensional Space! Their next goal was the Qingyao Star Region, the Last Law Star!

“Although we have been to the Tianyun Dimensional Space together before, we didn’t know where the Qingyao Star Region was. So, we first need to find an inhabited planet to buy a map of the Tianyun Dimensional Space,” Long Yi said, looking slightly embarrassed as he noticed Huang Long staring at him.

The same was true for Sea God Aphton and the others.

“Alright, let’s first check out the nearby planets,” Huang Long said after determining the direction, then flew southward.

The others followed.

A few hours later, they finally saw a planet with a faint red surface. Delighted, they all flew toward it.

Just as they approached the planet, suddenly, a faint red energy blast shot toward Long Yi from a nearby starfield.

Long Yi was shocked. He countered with a strike while turning to look, exclaiming, “Jade Fire Beast!”
