Chapter 0933: Reaping Spirit Veins Abundantly
Besides spirit veins, there were also countless half-saint skeletons and fragments of great path divine artifacts!
Below in this space, divine king skeletons, half-saint skeletons, top-tier postnatal divine artifact fragments, and great path divine artifact fragments piled up together. Some were dozens of meters tall, some a hundred meters, and some even thousands of meters high. Peaks formed by countless divine artifacts rose and fell in endless succession. At a glance, Huang Long and the others saw one such peak almost every hundred miles!
This space was several times larger than the Nine Heavens Divine Realm. If there was one every hundred miles, how many could there be?!
This was by no means comparable to the Doumu Treasure Vault or the Jiudingxuan Merchant Guild’s treasure vault—neither in quality nor quantity!
Among all these piles of divine artifacts, how many half-saint skeletons were there in total?! And how many great path divine artifact fragments?!
Moreover, among them were even mid-tier and high-tier great path divine artifact fragments.
Looking at these peaks made of divine artifacts, even Huang Long’s eyes shone brightly.
“With these great path divine artifact fragments, through absorption and transformation, all the divine artifacts in my body should be able to be upgraded to low-tier great path divine artifacts!” Huang Long was overjoyed.
Immediately, Huang Long used his supreme magic power within the Sacred Cauldron to transform it into a giant hand that reached up to seize the spirit veins high in the sky.
This time, the first ones Huang Long aimed to seize were those eighteen top-tier spirit veins.
To prevent these top-tier spirit veins from being blown out of the Magma Blood Cave by the underground airflow during the next eruption, Huang Long naturally had to collect the best ones first into the Sacred Cauldron!
Each of these top-tier spirit veins was comparable to eight half-saints from the early stages of an era. Yet for Huang Long now, they were easily captured with minimal effort.
After a while, all eighteen top-tier spirit veins were subdued by Huang Long, marked, and stored inside the Sacred Cauldron.
After collecting these eighteen top-tier spirit veins, Huang Long did not proceed to seize king-tier spirit veins but instead focused on the great path divine artifact fragments among the divine artifacts.
Huang Long’s magic power flowed through the Sacred Cauldron, transforming into a hundred streams of energy. Each time, he seized a hundred great path divine artifact fragments from these peaks of divine artifacts.
At the same time, Huang Long drove the Sacred Cauldron to keep moving above these peaks. After more than a dozen such attempts, a small mountain of great path divine artifact fragments piled up within the space of the Heavenly Sacred Cauldron.
Although this space lacked crimson blood lava, the innate scorching heat emanating from underground was even hotter than that of crimson blood lava. Thus, Huang Long could not fly out of the Sacred Cauldron to collect them, slowing down the acquisition process.
As the Yellow Dragon continued to absorb fragments of the Great Path Divine Artifacts, the innate scorching energy beneath the earth suddenly became violent, as if the entire space was about to be torn apart by this scorching energy. The storms formed by this scorching energy blew fiercely, carrying away divine artifacts, spiritual veins, half-saint skeletons, and fragments of Great Path Divine Artifacts from the space, which then erupted upward along with the blood-red lava. The immense force caused the Heavenly Sacred Cauldron to shake violently. The Yellow Dragon was startled and quickly activated the defensive array of the Sacred Cauldron to protect it layer by layer. Huang Yi and the others also poured their strength into the Yellow Dragon to assist in operating the Sacred Cauldron. Even so, the Sacred Cauldron still swayed uncontrollably. If it hadn’t been for the fact that the Heavenly Sacred Cauldron was a sacred-grade Great Path Divine Artifact, it would likely have been torn to pieces or melted into slag in those storms. After more than a dozen breaths, the storms finally subsided. The Yellow Dragon breathed a sigh of relief. It had been a close call! “A sacred-grade Great Path Divine Artifact is indeed something special. Master, with this Heavenly Sacred Cauldron, we can venture into any dangerous place in the three thousand great worlds!” said the Rebellious Dragon with a smile. The Yellow Dragon and the others smiled upon hearing this. Indeed, with a sacred-grade Great Path Divine Artifact, they could now dare to enter many dangerous places. Next, the Yellow Dragon hurriedly continued to collect fragments of the Great Path Divine Artifacts. Only after securing all the fragments of such artifacts in this space did it turn its attention to the king-grade spiritual veins—there were over 2,500 of them! Despite his efforts to collect them quickly, many king-grade spiritual veins still burst out of the space. Nevertheless, the Yellow Dragon managed to acquire over 2,300 of them! After collecting the king-grade spiritual veins, it was time for the half-saint skeletons! One after another, the half-saint skeletons flew into the Sacred Cauldron—ten, twenty, fifty, a hundred! Some of these skeletons were missing limbs, while others were intact. As the Yellow Dragon continued to take away the supreme-grade spiritual veins, fragments of Great Path Divine Artifacts, king-grade spiritual veins, and half-saint skeletons from the underground space, fewer and fewer divine artifacts emerged from the lava blood hole. First, the supreme-grade spiritual veins disappeared, followed by fragments of Great Path Divine Artifacts, king-grade spiritual veins, and half-saint skeletons. Eventually, even some top-tier postnatal divine artifact fragments were gone! “Damn it, what’s going on?! Why are there fewer and fewer divine artifacts emerging?” “Damn, just a first-grade spiritual vein, a second-grade spiritual vein, and a few top-tier postnatal divine artifact fragments—why so little?!” The powerful warriors surrounding the lava blood hole grew furious as they saw the dwindling number of divine artifacts emerging. Warriors like Fang Haotian and Pang Cheng were even angrier.
With each eruption of divine artifacts from the Lava Blood Cave, the once-exhilarated crowd gradually turned from anticipation to disappointment. The louder their anger and curses, the fewer divine artifacts emerged. Eventually, there were only a few second-grade spiritual veins and a few innate divine artifacts left! “No way—damn it! Lava Blood Cave, if you’ve got guts, then show some! Don’t just spit out nothing!” a Half-Saint cursed at the crack in the Lava Blood Cave below. But as soon as his voice faded, the cave erupted with divine artifacts once again. To everyone’s stunned shock, only a Lava Red Python appeared! Nothing else—really nothing! Not even a second-grade spiritual vein! Fang Haotian’s eyes turned blood red as he and the others stared in disbelief at what unfolded before them. Could such a strange situation occur with the revival of the Lava Blood Cave?! No artifacts emerged this time, and none followed—repeated disappointments drove the crowd to despair. “Could it be him?!” Suddenly, Fang Haotian thought of Huang Long, who had dived into the Lava Blood Cave earlier. “It must be him! That kid went deep into the cave and stole all its treasures!” Fang Haotian grew increasingly convinced. Above, the crowd was filled with disappointment and despair, while deep within the Lava Blood Cave, Huang Long was overjoyed. All the treasures of the cave had finally been seized by him and placed inside the Heavenly Sacred Cauldron! Huang Long and the others counted their gains. Now, inside the Heavenly Sacred Cauldron, there were eighteen top-grade spiritual veins, 3,080 king-grade spiritual veins, and an astonishing number of first-grade spiritual veins—over 1,823,500! As for second-grade spiritual veins, Huang Long didn’t even bother to count them. Calming himself down, he picked up the skeletons of the Half-Saints with both hands and inserted them into the bodies of the more than 1,100 divine king warriors, then used his supreme power to help them merge.
