Chapter 0868: The Immortal Emperor

Huang Long mused, “Perhaps!”
Along the way, Huang Long had used his magical power to try and determine the whereabouts of the Heaven-Hatred Demon Ancestor with his innate divine light, but he was unable to figure it out. Currently, Huang Long was only at the peak of one era, while his opponent was a warrior from three eras—there was too great a gap, so he couldn’t deduce anything. However, if Huang Long could break through two more eras, he might be able to figure it out.
Over an hour later, Huang Long and the others arrived at the central area of the Treasure City.
“These are top-tier postnatal spiritual treasures!”
“Look, that’s the Tianyin Tree!”
“Heavens, those are skeletons of divine king-level warriors!”
When Huang Long and the others reached the central area of the Treasure City and saw the treasures displayed in the palaces and shops along the streets, they were all shocked.
Top-tier postnatal spiritual treasures were equivalent to divine artifacts like the Phoenix Fire Sword.
The rarity of the Tianyin Tree went without saying—it had once been contested by the nine great divine kings of the Hongmeng Realm.
What surprised Huang Long and the others even more was that these shops were selling skeletons of divine king-level warriors!
Divine kings!
In the Hongmeng World, divine kings like Fei Li and Durlali ruled supreme over the entire Hongmeng Realm. Yet now, skeletons of divine king-level warriors were on display here! The mental impact on Huang Yi and the others was unimaginable.
Of course, there weren’t many such skeletons—only large shops had them, and even then, only one or two at a time. But this was enough to shock Livia and the others.
“Besides the three thousand great worlds in the universe, there are also other great planes and large planets. These great planes and planets are ruled by semi-saint-level warriors who constantly fight, battle, and conquer each other. As a result, many divine king-level warriors perish, and even semi-saints die. But shops don’t have skeletons of semi-saints—only at treasure fairs!” said Ok.
Huang Long nodded, calming his emotions slightly.
Although Ok spoke casually, everyone could imagine the cruelty of life in the universe.
The path to enlightenment was incredibly difficult!
Even after billions of years of cultivation to reach the level of a divine king, one still couldn’t avoid death—so too did semi-saints!
Without achieving enlightenment, everything was illusory!
“Let’s go in and take a look!” As they passed by a large shop, Huang Long had an idea. He entered the shop and headed straight to where two divine king-level skeletons were displayed.
“How much for these two skeletons?” Huang Long asked.

At that moment, a god-king-level powerhouse approached and said respectfully, “My lord, these two skeletons belong to powerful Immortal Emperors of the Immortal race. They contain powerful Immortal Blood. Each one would normally cost one million Primordial Divine Pills. If my lord wishes to buy both, I’ll give them to you at a reduced price—one million nine hundred thousand Primordial Divine Pills!”
The Immortal race, just like the Golden-Horned Giants, was also a renowned and powerful race among the Three Thousand Great Worlds.
The Golden-Horned race excelled in innate strength, while the Immortal race was unmatched in innate recovery abilities!
Legend has it that even if an Immortal race warrior was severely injured and on the verge of death, as long as they still had a breath left, they could revive.
“One million nine hundred thousand Primordial Divine Pills? That’s way too expensive!” screechedscum dragon Dragon.
One million nine hundred thousand Primordial Divine Pills!
You should know that even a race like the Thunder Eagles, as exemplified by Fei Li, after accumulating treasures over countless billions of years, didn’t have even one million Primordial Divine Pills!
The god-king-level powerhouse smiled atscum dragon Dragon and said, “Brother, you must have come from the outside world to attend this treasure fair. The skeletons of Immortal Emperors are sold for one million Primordial Divine Pills even in the Central Great World and the Xuanhuang Great World. This price is absolutely fair.”
“Very well, here are one million nine hundred thousand Primordial Divine Pills!” At that moment, Huang Long waved his hands, and a beam of light flew toward the god-king-level powerhouse. Inside the light was exactly one million nine hundred thousand Primordial Divine Pills!
“Great! This my lord is truly generous!” The god-king-level powerhouse beamed with joy and smiled before absorbing the pile of Primordial Divine Pills into his body.
Huang Long also placed the two skeletons of the Immortal Emperors inside the Sacred Cauldron.
“My lord, is there anything else you need?” asked the god-king-level powerhouse with a smile.
Huang Long shook his head and then left with the others.
Originally, by plundering the treasures of races like the Thunder Eagles, along with those stored in the Sacred Cauldron and the spatial artifact of the Nine-Distortion Demon Ancestor, Huang Long already had nearly twenty million Primordial Divine Pills, making him extremely wealthy compared to before. But now, he realized he was merely a local country gentleman.
After leaving the large marketplace, Huang Long and the others found a pavilion and settled there.
The treasure fair wouldn’t start for two months, so Huang Long planned to use that time to study the two skeletons of the Immortal Emperors.
After entering the pavilion, Huang Long set up restrictions around them before entering the Sacred Cauldron’s space with everyone else.
“The Immortal Blood in these two skeletons of Immortal Emperors seems similar to the life energy of the World Tree!” Huang Long murmured after taking out the skeletons.
Then, with a gesture of his hands, two pools of pale green blood flew out from the skeletons, with a faint golden glow within them.

Among the two pools of blood, the Yellow Dragon could sense powerful healing energy within them. However, the life force healing energy of the World Tree was even more advanced. If ranked by quality, the healing energy from the immortal blood in those two skeletons of immortal emperors was of lower grade, while that of the World Tree was of sacred grade. It was for this reason that the Yellow Dragon intended to purchase those two skeletons. With a thought, the Yellow Dragon waved his hand, merging the two pools of blood into the World Tree. Once the World Tree absorbed them, its entire body emitted a bright green glow, and its white jade-like roots seemed to become even more luminous and thicker. The Yellow Dragon frowned and used his mental senses to probe inside the World Tree. The life energy gathered within it was more condensed, but nothing else seemed to have changed. After a while, the Yellow Dragon withdrew his mental senses and sighed. It seemed that only by integrating other parts of the World Tree could it change. Subsequently, the Yellow Dragon refined those two skeletons of immortal emperors and infused them into the divine bodies of Huang Yi, Susan, Livia, and others, allowing them to refine them as well. Though it was just two skeletons, after refining them, their divine king statuses improved slightly. In the Sacred Cauldron, one thousand years equaled one day outside—two months meant six hundred thousand years. As time passed, after six hundred thousand years of cultivation, the Yellow Dragon further understood the Great Dao of Hongmeng, greatly enhancing his strength and bringing him infinitely close to two eras. Two months later, the Yellow Dragon and the others emerged from the Sacred Cauldron and arrived at the palace in the central area of the Treasure City. The palace, the venue for the treasure auction, was as large as Hongmeng City in the Hongmeng Realm. Yet, when the Yellow Dragon and his companions tried to enter, they were stopped by guards at the palace doors. “Sir, don’t you have an invitation? Only those with invitations are allowed to enter our treasure auction!” said one of the guards. The Yellow Dragon replied indifferently, “Oh, is that so?” With a flash of light in his hand, a mass of vital energy floated there, with streaks of multicolored light shimmering within. “Ah, it’s a half-saint!” The terrifying power contained within those multicolored lights made the guards recoil in shock. “It’s actually a half-saint!” “I wonder what era’s cultivation level they have?!” “But even if it’s just a half-saint of one era, they’re beyond our comparison!” The crowd around them grew uproarious. Half-saints were dominant figures in the three thousand great worlds of the universe; wherever they went, they were highly respected!
