Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7620

Chapter 7535: Nine-Colored Blood

Upon hearing this, Li Tianming looked up and saw a throne at the very center of the palace.

He approached and, following Yin Chen’s instructions, unhesitatingly flipped it open.

Rumble!!

In an instant, stardust swirled, filling a large portion of the palace and almost obscuring Li Tianming’s vision.

He moved closer and saw a stepped passageway beneath the throne.

Gushing…

At the same time, the sound of flowing water seemed to emanate from this secret passage, and wisps of white mist slowly drifted up.

The white mist rose, instantly filling the entire palace from the moment it emerged from the passageway.

“I need to quickly collect it, otherwise this scene will be too obvious and might attract other enemies.” Li Tianming’s eyes sharpened, and he wasted no more time.

He immediately entered and collected the light-year origin spiritual spring, which resembled a small pool.

After collecting almost all of them, Li Tianming was somewhat shaken. “This is probably ten times more than what I got from the Illusionary Heavenly Emperor Clan!”

Ten times ten thousand vats, that’s a million vats!

This palace might not seem to be the most luxurious place in this interstellar ruin, but the light-year origin spirit springs it contained already exceeded the reserves of a single guardian imperial clan!

It was terrifying!

Li Tianming couldn’t help but admire the generosity of the Qianfeng Eternal Empire and the Republic of the Divine Heaven, who actually used this place, filled with countless treasures, only as a training ground.

However, just as Li Tianming finished collecting these light-year origin spirit springs, a slightly smaller hand landed directly on Li Tianming’s shoulder in the lingering white mist.

“Hey! Found something good?”

Li Tianming felt the touch on his shoulder and calmly turned around.

The newcomer was Ji Xuanjian, and Li Tianming didn’t seem surprised at all, as if he had expected it.

Ji Xuanjian was somewhat surprised. “Why didn’t you react at all? You’re so calm. How did you know it was me?”

“With your reckless nature, your aura was completely exposed. Who else but you would be so careless?” Li Tianming chuckled.

Clearly, Ji Xuanjian must have been passing by the palace and happened to see the Dao array destroyed before coming in.

“Tch! How boring.” Ji Xuanjian had intended to scare Li Tianming but failed. She pouted, and then she saw an empty pool in front of Li Tianming. Her eyes widened. “Wow! Such a big pool! How many light-years of Origin Spirit Springs did you find?”

“What’s it to you?” Li Tianming turned and left, taking the most valuable items and heading straight out of the palace.

“A share for everyone! Give me some! We’re a team!” Ji Xuanjian hurriedly caught up with Li Tianming, holding out her hand.

With her chin slightly raised and her arm outstretched, she practically had “freeloader” written all over her face.

However, Li Tianming didn’t indulge her. He slapped her palm and said irritably, “Give me a piece of your mind, you don’t need this stuff.”

Ji Xuanjian rubbed her palm, not that she really wanted Li Tianming’s things, but she pouted and muttered, “You’re lucky, kid, you found so many good things.”

Just as the two were walking out of the palace, Yin Chen suddenly spoke up:

“Little Li, your teammate might be in trouble!”

Li Tianming’s heart skipped a beat, but he remained outwardly calm. He thought to himself, “Who? What’s going on?”

“Xiangqin has run into the other participants.” Yin Chen continued.

Apart from his own team members, everyone else was an enemy, and a clash between the two was bound to be fierce.

If it was just a matter of losing treasures, that would be fine, but if Xiangqin’s Qianfeng Ring was destroyed, eliminating her directly, it would be a huge loss for Li Tianming and the others.

At this moment, Li Tianming glanced at Ji Xuanjian beside him, and Ji Xuanjian noticed the gaze, puffed out her chest, glared back defiantly.

“Why are you looking at me? Don’t tell me you’re planning to rob my stuff?” Ji Xuanjian asked suspiciously.

“Who’s like you, always thinking about getting something for nothing, trying to steal my treasures?” Li Tianming rolled his eyes, then added disdainfully, “What are you following me for? Go find the stuff yourself!”

“No, I’ve found it! You’re lucky, kid. I’m too lazy to look anymore, I’ll just follow you.” Ji Xuanjian unceremoniously grabbed Li Tianming’s forearm.

“Fine, whatever. I’ve already said it, whoever gets it keeps it.” Li Tianming said, seemingly helpless.

Meanwhile, while Li Tianming appeared to be wandering aimlessly, his erratic route was actually a gradual approach to Xiangqin.

During this process, neither Ji Xuanjian nor the ‘spectators’ watching Li Tianming through the Qianfeng Ring noticed anything.

From Yin Chen’s information, they knew that Xiangqin and someone from the other team would meet some time later.

Therefore, to avoid suspicion, Li Tianming, besides his winding path, occasionally searched for treasure along the way.

The items they sought were of relatively low value; after all, one stroke of incredible ‘luck’ was enough, and a bit of ‘bad luck’ would make it more realistic.

During this process, Aurora and Silver Dust also uncovered details about the team.

“That person seems to be from a top-tier ghost god sect—the ‘Nine-Colored Blood Sect.’”

“What kind of ghost gods are in this sect?” Li Tianming asked inwardly.

“The ghost gods there are called the Nine-Colored Blood Clan, similar to the Purple Blood and Holy Blood Clans, but with a bloodline far nobler. They can transform into ‘Nine-Colored Blood Demons,’ possessing brutal flesh and blood, and incredibly powerful combat abilities!” Aurora said somewhat seriously.

“This team, Wu Quan, is of this race, at least a ninth-rank, divine seed,” Silver Dust added.

“Because they have enough confidence, they can be considered a relatively powerful team, so they act very domineeringly. In this second round, they even have a record of eliminating other teams, and the teams they eliminated could easily crush Xiang Qin and her teammates,” Aurora continued.

In other words, Xiangqin was now in a very dangerous situation, like a lamb being watched by a tiger.

Li Tianming’s team score was also in grave danger!

He had to intervene, otherwise it would affect their performance in the Ten Thousand Sects Emperor Battle.

Ji Xuanjian, who was following Li Tianming, was completely unaware of this. She simply swaggered around Li Tianming, occasionally picking up some of his junk to collect a few treasures for points.

Although they were just low-value junk, the quantity was considerable, and her gains were actually quite substantial.

…

Meanwhile, somewhere in the interstellar ruins.

Xiangqin was alone, without any other teammates by her side.

To participate in the Ten Thousand Sects Emperor War, he naturally recalled all his clones and merged them into his main body to enter the Inverted Tower.

Therefore, his body was of normal size.

“This is… the Light-Year Origin Spirit Spring?”

Xiang Qin suddenly asked in surprise.

He groped his way into a relatively intact palace and immediately saw rows of large vats filled with pure white liquid in a corner.

Because the environment here was relatively well preserved, the mist from the Light-Year Origin Spirit Spring did not rise and was completely sealed inside the vats.

Upon seeing these Light-Year Origin Spirit Springs, he immediately stepped forward and was even more surprised after seeing the complete scene, exclaiming, “There are so many?”

This number was almost one-tenth of what Li Tianming had found.

That is, almost equivalent to the number of Light-Year Origin Spirit Springs that Li Tianming obtained from the Illusionary Heavenly Emperor Clan!

This was simply too astonishing for Xiang Qin; he had never seen so many in his life!

Just as he was overjoyed and about to put these Light-Year Origin Spirit Springs into his Qianfeng Ring…

a figure suddenly appeared behind him.

The figure was tall and the shadow was ferocious; both its aura and size were incredibly terrifying!
