Chapter 567: Chapter 310: Seizing the Blood Copper Vein, Creating a Body, and Being Exposed!
Deep within the Hundred Thousand Mountains, in a mountain valley.
In the deepest part of the valley, a scarlet light faintly flickered.
Every time the scarlet light flickered, the entire surface seemed to pulse like a human belly.
It was as if the land was breathing.
And near the valley, strong auras spread continuously.
Three factions stood at different positions in the valley, forming a triangular standoff, warily watching each other.
These three factions were conspicuously from the three totem influences near the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
They were the Wang Family, the Snow Fox Sect, and the Celestial Horse Village!
These three totem influences were the most formidable around the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
Each influence had several third-tier powerhouses, and their totem creatures even reached the terrifying peak of the third tier.
Just a step away from the fourth tier...
It could be said... these three totem influences were virtually overlords within the realm of the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
"I say, the blood copper vein is about to emerge soon; surely you two haven’t forgotten our previous agreement!"
A burly elder calmly addressed the other two third-tier totem influence powerhouses before him.
"Of course, we’ll keep our agreement, but what if someone with no regard for life covets our blood copper vein?"
A lean middle-aged man, wearing clothing with a white stallion insignia, spoke lightly.
"You mean those so-called members of the Dragon Lizard Sect from before?"
A voluptuous woman chuckled, covering her mouth.
"Heh heh, just a fledgling third-tier totem influence. I looked into the so-called Dragon Lizard Sect, and they merely devoured the Totem Spirit of that black python to luckily step into the third tier!"
"We don’t even need the higher-tier individuals behind us to act. Any one of the three of us could wipe out that Dragon Lizard Sect’s powerhouse."
"Such an influence... before us, they’re nothing but ants!!"
The Snow Fox Sect woman laughed, her words full of disdain for the Dragon Lizard Sect.
The Wang Family elder chuckled faintly, "Only the strong can claim the blood copper vein. A small fledgling third-tier totem influence wanting to contend with us... utterly reckless!"
"Killing some of their totem cultivators earlier was even a show of respect for that Totem Spirit. If they refuse to back down... what’s the harm in exterminating a small Dragon Lizard Sect?"
The Wang Family elder’s words exuded a domineering aura.
It was as if the Dragon Lizard Sect was something he could wipe out with a wave of his hand.
Upon hearing this, the two powerhouses from the Snow Fox Sect and Celestial Horse Village both laughed.
Just as their laughter echoed, a faint voice rang out.
"You three look down on our Dragon Lizard Sect a bit too much, don’t you think?"
The faint voice made the three’s expressions suddenly change, instantly looking towards the direction of the voice.
It was Yang Feng’s figure that emerged slowly, and behind him, a group of Dragon Lizard Sect powerhouses unleashed intense auras.
"You kill my Dragon Lizard Sect members and still dare to boast here..."
Yang Feng stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes turning into vertical pupils at this moment.
"You mere peak second-tier beings... how dare you!"
Yang Feng’s reprimand was accompanied by a surge of killing intent, and with the power of the initial third-tier cultivation, it roared forth.
The raging aura created a powerful storm, sweeping toward those three individuals overwhelmingly.
The third-tier aura made the three’s faces instantly look incredibly grim.
"You must be the leader of the Dragon Lizard Sect?"
"Do you realize that behind us... we have third-tier powerhouses supporting us? If you dare act against us, aren’t you afraid that the totem influences behind us will utterly annihilate your Dragon Lizard Sect!!"
The Celestial Horse Village middle-aged man spoke with a low tone, eyes burning with fury.
"Utter annihilation..."
Yang Feng spoke softly, but a violent glint suddenly burst from his eyes as if he thought of something.
"Courting death!!"
Yang Feng roared, as scales instantly emerged on his skin, shimmering coldly under the sunlight.
In a flash, Yang Feng rushed into the valley like a humanoid fierce beast, charging ferociously.
Bang! Bang! Bang!!
Explosive muffled sounds erupted, visibly sending the three individuals around the valley flying under Yang Feng’s onslaught.
The three, only at peak second-tier, couldn’t withstand Yang Feng at all.
In the blink of an eye, they met their demise at Yang Feng’s hands.
Though Yang Feng had just entered the third tier, the enhancement from the Dragon Lizard Technique allowed him to slay even initial third-tier powerhouses.
Not to mention... those three second-tier peak experts.
Looking at the bodies of the three, Yang Feng’s eyes held nothing but an endless chill.
"Dispose of the bodies. The blood copper vein is about to be nurtured. We need to hurry and bring it back to the Dragon Lizard Sect!"
Yang Feng spoke blandly, instructing the members of the Dragon Lizard Sect.
"Yes!"
The members of the Dragon Lizard Sect responded one after another and then began to take action.
"The Wang Family, Snow Fox Sect, Celestial Horse Village..."
Yang Feng stood atop the valley, slowly gazing in different directions.
"Third-tier powers..."
Yang Feng spoke softly, yet traces of worry appeared in his eyes.
Despite having tremendous trust in Lu Sheng, the presence of three top third-tier totem influences made Yang Feng somewhat anxious about Lu Sheng’s ability to withstand.
However, recalling what Lu Sheng had said to him before, Yang Feng still shook his head.
"Forget it, since Lord Dragon Lizard said so, it means Lord Dragon Lizard naturally has a way to counter them. What I need to do... is to believe in Lord Dragon Lizard!"
Yang Feng spoke softly and then withdrew his gaze, looking towards the depths of the valley.
At this moment, in the depths of the valley, a crimson radiance suddenly bloomed, illuminating the entire valley.
Seeing this scene, Yang Feng couldn’t help but feel a surge of excitement in his heart.
"The blood copper vein... has successfully matured!"
...
"Is this... the blood copper?"
Within the Dragon Lizard Sect, Lu Sheng looked at the blood copper vein brought back by the experts of the Dragon Lizard Sect, with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.
The blood copper vein was very long, spanning a full hundred meters, and the blood copper within it emitted a red brilliance, resembling human blood.
Its appearance varied, yet constantly shimmered like a beating heart.
Most importantly...
Lu Sheng could sense that the energy fluctuations within the blood copper were extremely similar to those within the totem space.
Even the energy from the blood copper stirred the power of his soul, clearly showing that it could perfectly enhance his soul power.
"With this blood copper vein, after shaping it into my body and refining the energy within, it might allow me to directly enter the fourth tier!"
Looking at the blood copper vein before him, Lu Sheng’s eyes gleamed with a unique brilliance.
"This is quite a treasure!"
Lu Sheng smiled slightly, then spoke to Yang Feng and the others.
"During this period, I need to shape the blood copper vein into my body, so I cannot be disturbed."
"Since the people from the Wang Family were killed by our Dragon Lizard Sect, it won’t be long before these third-tier totem influences realize it was us."
"By then, they will certainly take action against our Dragon Lizard Sect, so during this time, I’ll need to depend on you!"
"Once I successfully shape my body... all obstacles will be easily resolved!"
Lu Sheng spoke calmly.
Yang Feng understood Lu Sheng’s meaning, and a grave expression gradually appeared on his face, but after taking a deep breath, he bowed to Lu Sheng.
"Rest assured, Lord Dragon Lizard, even if I die by their hands, I won’t let them get within a step of you!"
There was a resolute expression on Yang Feng’s face.
Lu Sheng nodded slightly, then, after signaling Yang Feng and the others to leave, began focusing his attention on the blood copper vein.
In an instant, a pure power of the soul surged from the totem space, rushing into the blood copper vein. Under Lu Sheng’s soul power, the blood copper transformed into a liquid, gradually merging together as a strong aura began to gestate within the crimson liquid.
...
Time flew by, and several days later.
In the valley where the blood copper vein was previously nurtured, numerous powerful auras stood near the valley, gazing down into it.
Someone reached out, grabbed a handful of dirt from the valley, and lightly sniffed it, then a sharp gleam flashed through his eyes.
"Indeed... they are already dead!"
The person spoke softly, yet powerful auras suddenly roared from the valley.
"Hmph! To dare kill members of the Snow Fox Sect, it seems... after so many years of not showcasing the strength of the Snow Fox Sect, most people have forgotten how we were established!"
An old woman leaning on a cane snorted coldly, and a chill suddenly spread, causing layers of frost to form on the surrounding ground.
"Such a crude method... it should be the work of the Dragon Lizard Sect."
"Looking across the entire Hundred Thousand Mountains, only this newly established Dragon Lizard Sect would dare act so recklessly against us three parties!"
