Chapter 1198 - Yuance And The Flamedragon Palace

This time, Tianming and the others had all sustained injuries in the battle with the dragon golems. When acquiring the caeli of seniors, Tianming had obtained quite a number of divine pills. Divine pills were rare items that were grade-three at most. However, they had a better healing effect on the astral physique. Albi were the foundation of the astral physique, and injuries inevitably led to damaging them. Ordinary spirit herbs could hardly treat that kind of injury. Divine herbs were much stronger, but less targeted. Thus, alchemy gurus refined the herbs into pills so the healing effects were enhanced.

Using the divine pills, Lingfeng, Xiaoxiao, and Yu Ziqian recovered rather quickly. With the help of the Greenspark Tower, Tianming and his lifebound beasts healed even faster. After acquiring an astral physique, Tianming’s body had undergone changes, slightly diminishing the effect of the Greenspark Tower. However, it was still an incredible divine artifact.

Tianming exited the passage with the war drum, healing as he walked. After a few kilometers, a divergence appeared in the path up ahead. That meant the test of the dragon golem army was over and they were safe.

"Over here." When Tianming sounded the war drum, another sound would echo in the distance, followed by strong vibrations. At the intersection, he chose the way forward judging from the beat of the drum. Because everyone was injured, they traveled slowly.

The echoes grew louder and louder.

"Where’s the war drum taking us? Another palace? Is it leading us to more treasures?" Yu Ziqian's eyes brightly shone.

Tianming tapped the drum with his fingers. When the top of the drum shook, the figure of an angry dragon flickered as if it were about to shoot out from within.

"Not necessarily," he said. They continued walking, moving quietly.

……

There was yet another commotion. Every time the imperial star ranking changed, it aroused astonishment. After all, there were no skyward eyes inside the tomb so they could only observe the situation through the changes in the ranking.

"Another one with two hundred thousand points!"

“Second place has been taken by someone else!”

Billions of eyes were focused on the name in second place: Zhan Yuance (Wargodean), 340,000 points.

"He was originally eighth, but his points increased by two hundred thousand. It seems that he’s obtained a treasure equal to the one Li Tianming and Lin Xiaoxiao got."

“His points are still going up, so he’s probably still in battle, and the increase is rather large. It doesn’t look like he’s defeated other disciples, but perhaps something else?"

“Li Tianming and Lin Xiaoxiao previously had a similar increase in points."

Two hundred thousand points at once—it was obvious what had happened.

“This wargodean is pretty good.”

"I heard that he’s one of the top three most powerful disciples of this generation and a madman when it comes to fighting. If they really went to battle, Weisheng Moran might not be able to defeat him."

"This young man was thrown into the sea of wildbeasts since he was a child and grew up amidst all that fighting. He isn’t even thirty, but has experienced at least hundreds of thousands of battles and killed millions. He’s a ruthless one."

"Of course, that’s the standard for training young wargodeans, but he’s the best."

"What I’m curious about is, what did he obtain? A treasure equal to the Lifesteal Silverdragon?"

“We don’t even know what Lin Xiaoxiao received.”

Compared to the strength of these young people, what the elders coveted were treasures on the same level as the Lifesteal Silverdragon.

"It's getting exciting. This is good, at least the Azuresoul Palace isn’t going to enjoy all the benefits."

"The Azuresoul Palace? The Xuanyuan Dragon Sect has already stepped in. Just think of those three Azuresoul Palace disciples as Xuanyuan Dragon Sect Disciples. Does it make sense now?"

“You’re right. After all, the sect is second on the Sky Ranking.”

"Hey, I heard something interesting.”

Everyone turned their gazes to the person speaking, a middle-aged man dressed in brocade.

"Qian Wanguan, what is it?" They asked.

"Apparently, those three disciples were secretly cultivated by Xuanyuan Dragon Sect. The Xuanyuan Dragon Sect and Azuresoul Palace put on a play and placed the three in the Azuresoul Palace so they could enter the top ten on the imperial star ranking and raise their position on the myriad sect ranking. You know, if that thing emerges, the Azuresoul Palace occupies the advantage. The condition was for Xuanyuan Dragon Sect to help them move up the ranking. When the time comes, they’ll reap the benefits,” the middle-aged man sneered as if he was absolutely certain of his words.

“How ingenious.”

“It’s most likely true.”

"What a brilliant plan!”

“I knew it! How could the Azuresoul Palace pull this off?”

Everyone looked as if they were enlightened; this was how conspiracy theories arose.

"The question is, how was the Xuanyuan Dragon Sect sure that three disciples whose strength isn’t among the top hundred would make it into the top ten of the imperial star ranking? Can they manipulate the Sky Palace?" someone asked.

For a moment, everyone was stunned. After all, most of them had witnessed Tianming’s battles.

……

There was a fiery red underground palace within the Imperial Ninedragon Tomb with two gigantic words carved at the top.

“Flamedragon Palace.”

The Flamedragon Palace was covered in the remains of dragon golems. From the marks and blood on the remains, it was clear that a fierce battle had just taken place here. It was impossible to tell how many disciples had left after their imperial star formations were destroyed.

There were tens of thousands of disciples in the passages that surrounded the underground palace. All of them were staring at those within the palace in silence. Most were covered in bloodstains and scars, which proved that they had just experienced a battle. Perhaps they had participated in the battle against the dragon golems, but now that the battle was over, they were afraid to approach. Having been defeated, they had failed to acquire the treasure they wanted. However, their presence meant that they weren’t ready to give up.

Their eyes were focused on a group of people surrounded by fallen dragon golems. These people were extremely stunning, with gold hair and eyes. These two-and-a-half-meter tall men sported buzz cuts and were built like beasts, their powerful muscles clearly defined. Their steely flesh glittered like gold. Even the women were more than two meters tall, with perfect proportions and long, slender legs. Every woman possessed a wild and bloodthirsty air, their eyes filled with ferociousness—they would obviously be hard to tame.

Both the men and women were born with golden divine patterns on their bodies that made them look like golden statues, born to fight. It was this group of people who’d had the absolute advantage in this mixed battle. Not only had they defeated the dragon golems, but they had also obtained the treasure at the end.

At this moment, they had yet to leave because of the burly, hill-like man sitting in the middle of the group, cultivating. The man’s gold hair resembled needles and his body was covered in golden muscle. He was almost three meters tall when standing, a bonafide humanoid monster.
