Chapter 1755: Chapter 770: Fire Qiong Supreme? Ancient Ruins (6K)
Compared to the treasure worth 15 billion Eternal Crystals, what Li Yuan wanted to know more was why this Ancient Spirit Tribe kept attacking him.
Logically, a team with this level of strength shouldn’t be continuously attacked.
“The reason?”
In the distant void, a trace of hesitation flashed in the eyes of the Black Ancient Spirit named Hu Luo, then he said deeply, “Alright, I won’t hide it from you. The Heart Source Quasi-Saint might already have some guesses in mind.”
“It’s allure,” Hu Luo said solemnly.
Allure? Li Yuan thought deeply.
Both the Jue Xing Divine Emperor and the Star Sky God Emperor showed expressions of confusion.
“I reckon you all know, if our Ancient Spirit Clan kills cosmic cultivators like you, by devouring your Divine Body and soul, we obtain many benefits that propel the evolution of our origin, allowing us to ascend to higher realms.” Hu Luo looked at Li Yuan.
“Hmm.” Li Yuan nodded.
This is also the root of endless years of strife between the Ancient Spirit Clan and cosmic cultivators, a problem that cannot be resolved in the foreseeable future.
Cosmic experts want treasures from the Ancient Spirits.
The Ancient Spirit Clan wants the lives of cosmic experts.
It’s not about who’s right or wrong, strength reigns supreme, victors are kings.
“Normally, the stronger the cosmic cultivator, the greater the benefit from killing them,” Hu Luo said. “But you’re entirely different. In terms of realm, even though your strength is formidable, you’re only a low rank Quasi-Saint. Killing you yields little benefit to an Emperor Realm Ancient Spirit.”
Li Yuan listened.
The Ancient Spirits can evolve by slaughtering cosmic experts, which sounds good, but it’s not that easy in reality. The advantage of the Ancient Spirits is similar to the Immortal Divine Hall’s Divine Guard, possessing an extremely long lifespan, living on as long as their spiritual will doesn’t collapse.
After all, within the Eternal Relics, cosmic rules are absent, unaffected by the Time River.
But the disadvantage of the Ancient Spirit Clan is quite apparent, which is having only one true body; they can’t cultivate multiple true bodies.
Moreover, they can’t even use Emperor Weapons.
Normally, Emperor Realm Ancient Spirits target beings who have reached the Fourth Step in Opening Eternal Dao, not low rank Quasi-Saints, whom they’re too lazy to bother.
“But actually.”
“Whether Emperor Realm White Ancient Spirits under me or myself, the moment we get close to you, we feel an uncontrollable urge to devour… as if an ultimate delicacy is enticing us,” Hu Luo revealed this secret.
“As a Black Ancient Spirit, I can barely control my desires.”
“But for White Ancient Spirits, they mostly act on instinct. Unless you exhibit strength that threatens their lives, they can’t resist attacking you,” Hu Luo warned sternly.
In reality.
Hu Luo still concealed some information.
For instance, the destiny guiding him in the dark suggests that if he kills and devours Li Yuan’s true body, he has a great hope of stepping into the Dominator Level.
However.
Just the information he disclosed cast Li Yuan, Jue Xing Divine Emperor, and Star Sky God Emperor into long-lasting unease and puzzlement.
“Heart Source Quasi-Saint, this is the treasure worth 15 billion Eternal Crystals, take a look.” Hu Luo continued.
Phew!
Hu Luo turned his palm, and several Cave Heaven Treasures flew over instantly. Being quite far apart, these treasures flew for a while in the water before reaching Li Yuan.
Li Yuan extended his hand, which grew dramatically, simultaneously grabbing the several Cave Heaven Treasures.
With a thought, he inquired into them. Among them were several Mid Grade Emperor Weapons and many precious treasures originating from the Long River Ruins.
The total value of these treasures, even if slightly less than 15 billion Eternal Crystals, was quite close.
“Heart Source Quasi-Saint, I’ve expressed my sincerity, and I trust with your status, you’ll keep your promise,” Hu Luo eyed Li Yuan.
He was also betting!
As an Ancient Spirit, he doesn’t cultivate Eternal Dao; his strength comes from the might bestowed by the Long River Ruins.
Therefore, these Emperor Weapons are of little use to him; they are merely spoils from slaying other cosmic cultivators, with their main advantage being their durability.
Even as a Black Ancient Spirit, they rely more on instinct during combat.
Li Yuan watched Hu Luo, suddenly smiling, “Of course, I will keep my promise.”
Phew!
Li Yuan waved his hand, his other true body withdrew the World Domain and ceased the ongoing Soul Attack; Star Sky God Emperor and Jue Xing Divine Emperor also retracted their methods.
“Go quickly.”
“Leave.” Numerous Emperor Realm White Ancient Spirits who were in a slumber instantly awoke, their bodies burdened by bearing a world suddenly lightened. Swiftly, dozens of White Ancient Spirits transformed into streams of light, escaping quickly into the distance.
In just a moment.
The many White Ancient Spirits gathered around Hu Luo, kneeling in submission.
“Useless bunch! I have to save you all,” Hu Luo growled, making the many White Ancient Spirits even more respectful, not daring to raise their heads.
After saying that.
Hu Luo then raised his head again, looking at Li Yuan from afar, “Heart Source Quasi-Saint, within my territory, I won’t chase after you, but outside my territory, I can’t guarantee other Black Ancient Spirits will be as lenient as me, farewell.”
Swoosh~ Splash~
Under Hu Luo’s body, a large palace appeared out of thin air, its aura vast, promptly containing him and numerous Emperor Realm White Ancient Spirits.
Rumble~ As the palace moved, the water flows posed no hindrance, causing the palace to become increasingly fast, even surpassing the normal flying speed of Star Sky God Emperor, quickly heading deeper into the Void River.
