Chapter 1153: Chapter 1154: Alliance!
Countless experts gathered outside the palace, all waiting for this moment.
Those Martial Artists who were originally accumulating strength, preparing to deal with Chu Fengmian, shifted their focus upon seeing the palace open.
Rather than entangling with Chu Fengmian here, it’s better to compete for the treasure of the Swallowing Beast.
The Fourth Prince’s eyes flashed with a trace of unwillingness; he originally intended to seize this opportunity to directly kill Chu Fengmian, but now with the opening of the ancient bronze door, that opportunity has vanished.
No Martial Artist is willing to engage in a deadly struggle with Chu Fengmian now.
"Let’s go too!"
The four quasi-emperors who had just gathered their strength to besiege Chu Fengmian retracted their power as the treasure opened. Their Tunneling Light reached its ultimate speed as they rushed towards the palace.
Swish, swish, swish.
Countless Tunneling Lights sped towards the palace.
Chu Fengmian also performed the Tunneling Light, entering the ancient bronze door in an instant.
Behind this ancient bronze door lies another realm; this palace, a Spiritual Artifact personally refined by the Swallowing Beast, contains a space of its own, which is an incomparably massive mountain range.
Around the mountain range, countless red Crystal Stones float densely.
"Blood Crystals! These are all Blood Crystals!"
Beside Chu Fengmian, exclamations of surprise continuously erupted.
Surrounding the mountain range, it’s unknown how many Blood Crystals are floating densely; Chu Fengmian’s Spiritual Sense sweeps across, revealing hundreds of thousands of Blood Crystals.
These Blood Crystals are not Blood Stones; one Blood Crystal is more valuable than a thousand Blood Stones, equivalent to more wealth than ten thousand treasure lands combined.
Such wealth is enough to attract innumerable experts here; even those with lesser strength hope to get a share, and obtaining just a few Blood Crystals would result in significant gains.
"These Blood Crystals are just what I need to help advance my bloodline!"
Chu Fengmian glanced around, and suddenly his power soared; with a wave of his hand, the sky full of Blood Crystals was collected by Chu Fengmian.
Some Martial Artists trying to compete with Chu Fengmian were mercilessly killed by him; the ancient war dragon bloodline within his body had completely boiled over, transforming his body into a terrifying ancient war dragon.
In moments, countless Blood Crystals were collected, and in less than a minute, thousands of Blood Crystals were stored within Chu Fengmian’s Space Ring.
However, Chu Fengmian couldn’t take the time to refine the Blood Crystals now; the urgent task was to gather more wealth.
Not only Chu Fengmian but also the likes of Young Master White, Duke Wei, and the Fourth Prince employed methods to collect large amounts of Blood Crystals; even many hidden quasi-emperors presented themselves to collect them.
The value of these Blood Crystals made them all salivate with desire.
Around the mountain range, Blood Crystals were soon mostly collected.
"Such powerful strength."
"Alliance! Alliance! Alone, we are no match for this kid!"
Chu Fengmian, transformed into an ancient war dragon, collected Blood Crystals at astonishing speeds, becoming invincible for a time.
Many Martial Artists quietly began forming alliances; especially Young Master White, with his noble standing in the Ancient Serpent Empire, countless experts were willing to ally with him.
Soon, dozens of Martial Artists gathered around Young Master White, including a quasi-emperor forming an extraordinarily strong faction.
Meanwhile, people like Wang Qianzhong of the Five Mountains Sword Sect and the Fourth Prince also enlisted experts to form alliances, rapidly strengthening their sectors.
The majority of the experts present joined the three factions, leaving Chu Fengmian standing alone.
Chu Fengmian had thoroughly severed ties with the Bai Family, Five Mountains Sword Sect, and Divine Dragon Empire; no one wanted to stand by Chu Fengmian, as allying with him would mean courting death.
"Wang Qianzhong, Fourth Prince, shall we join forces to kill this kid? His methods are uncanny; if not killed, he might snatch the Swallowing Beast’s treasure under our noses!"
Suddenly, Young Master White spoke to Wang Qianzhong and the Fourth Prince.
Their three major forces now represented the strongest in the palace, with over a hundred supreme old ancestors at the Immortal Realm and five quasi-emperors, their power comparable to any great Sect.
"Agreed, kill him. I need his swordsmanship, and his swordsmanship must belong to our Five Mountains Sword Sect."
Upon hearing Young Master White, Wang Qianzhong stared at Chu Fengmian, unable to hide the greed in his eyes.
Chu Fengmian’s swordsmanship is more profound than their sect’s; if Wang Qianzhong learns it, increasing his strength, controlling the Five Mountains Sword Sect is attainable.
Moreover, his hatred for Chu Fengmian runs deep, making this the optimal opportunity.
"I want his bloodline, which belongs to the Dragon Clan; no one else can vie for it!"
The Fourth Prince also fiercely declared.
"Alright, I only need his Soaring Snake Bloodline; the Dragon bloodline is the Fourth Prince’s share. The rest is mine. Let’s strike together and kill him first!"
Young Master White nodded, instantly locking onto Chu Fengmian and suddenly launching an attack.
"Sky Soaring Break!"
Young Master White’s body suddenly transformed, turning into a giant python with wings extending from its back, taking on the Soaring Snake form.
His Soaring Snake Bloodline erupted without hesitation, attacking Chu Fengmian directly with incredible power.
No quasi-emperor could compare to Young Master White’s current strength.
With the Soaring Snake Bloodline unleashed, Chu Fengmian felt his power suppressed; Young Master White’s bloodline was purer than Chu Fengmian’s.
Naturally, this posed enormous pressure on Chu Fengmian.
"Damn! Soaring Snake Transformation, explode!"
Chu Fengmian’s gaze turned cold; there was nothing more to hide now, and the Soaring Snake Transformation’s power was unleashed.
Young Master White, like Chu Fengmian, barely managed to harness the Soaring Snake power through specific means; he hadn’t reached the quasi-emperor level, so couldn’t sustain it long-term.
Enduring this wave would relieve much of the pressure.
The two powers collided in the air, causing Chu Fengmian’s form only to slightly shake with little injury; even though Young Master White’s bloodline was purer, he remained at the Immortal Realm, not having reached the Sovereign Realm.
He could suppress Chu Fengmian’s bloodline but couldn’t cause actual harm.
But now, those wanting to target Chu Fengmian didn’t consist of Young Master White alone.
