Chapter 122

Shencheng, the battle situation is extremely dire; a world-shocking war could break out at any moment, and it would not be impossible for the fighting to shatter mountains and rivers and cause the land to fall.

Inside the city, killing intent turned into qi and blood that shot up to the heavens; peerless experts lurked in the shadows, ready to unleash peerless killing intent at any moment.

At that moment, a dog's bark split the night, ringing in everyone's ears, making everyone startle with an indescribable feeling.

"It... it's that hateful black dog!"

The cultivators of Shencheng turned to look, and their faces immediately changed, their eyes twitching.

Under the bright moonlight, a black dog wearing flowered underpants stood on two legs like a human, arms crossed over its chest, looking extremely arrogant.

A black dog wearing big flowered underpants looked utterly ridiculous at first glance.

Beside the big black dog stood another person.

He was a plump Daoist, clad in splendid Daoist robes, holding a peerless rare treasure that glittered with brilliant light under the moonlight.

Standing side by side in that pose, they should have presented an imposing scene, yet everyone frowned, some even wanting to laugh.

Because everyone knew these two all too well—they were both top-notch!

One is the black dog that daily clamors, taking in holy sons and daughters as pets, causing quite a stir that makes all the holy sons and daughters change color upon hearing it.

Being annoying is one thing, but this guy's physical body and formation attainments are superb—no one can deal with him, and he also follows beside the Holy Body Dao Fetus, making him even harder to handle.

As for Duan De, no introduction is needed—his fame spreads far and wide; who among cultivators hasn't heard of him? His wicked deeds and tomb-robbing methods are notorious; he even dares to visit the ancestral relics of transcendent powers!

Both are top-notch, and especially over these past two months, working together they've committed all kinds of robbery and grave-robbing, making many people grind their molars in anger.

Yet they are slipperier than loaches; though everyone has been hunting them, they haven't gained any advantage—instead they've suffered many losses, being badly tricked! The commotion they've stirred up recently in the Northern Territory is second only to Purple Mountain, not even matching Ye Fan's stone-cutting.

"How did they come here... could they also be intending to join in?"

The cultivators were puzzled; these two appearing now must certainly have some purpose.

"The Black Emperor and Duan De..."

Ye Fan and the others beside the Dragon-Crying Pool were astonished; they hadn't expected the big black dog and Duan De to appear at this moment.

The big black dog held its head high, body strong as an ox, demonic qi surging within and condensing in midair into a huge phantom.

Dark clouds roiled in the sky, thunder boomed, and the demonic qi, like surging floodwaters, gathered into a massive head tens of zhang tall.

That figure had a square head and large ears, exuding a terrifying pressure; it lacked its usual lewdness, transformed into a disdainful glare.

The Black Emperor slightly tilted its head, looking down with eyes utterly cold, as if a great demon had been born, its terrifying aura continually rippling.

"I obey the orders of Yang Zhu, coming to assist the God King Jiang Tai Xu!"

His voice rolled down like heavenly thunder, deep and muffled, like a heavy hammer striking each person's soul; his powerful aura made many hearts tremble with fear.

"The Black Emperor really does have some skill." Even Li Heishui, who constantly quarrels with the big black dog, couldn't help but sigh in admiration.

"It seems he's serious this time."

Ye Fan also gasped; although the big black dog is usually unreliable, Ye Fan knows that when this fellow gets serious, he's absolutely not to be provoked.

After all, he had long suspected that the Black Emperor's background was terrifyingly huge, possibly even linked to the Beginningless Great Emperor! "What, does the Holy Body Dao Fetus also want to intervene in this?"

In the arena, the figure who had lived for several thousand years spoke, his voice like a crow's cry, hoarse and grim.

Although Yang Zhu now is not enough to threaten them, the Yaochi behind him makes everyone wary, as shown by the example of the Yin Yang Sect.

The Yaochi, which stays out of worldly affairs, can flatten a major sect with a single move—no one would dare doubt its strength! "Exactly!" Faced with so many powerhouses present, the Black Emperor remains fearless; since he acts on Yang Zhu's orders, he naturally has ample preparation.

Upon these words, Shencheng fell silent; the Holy Body Dao Fetus overwhelms the contemporary Eastern Wasteland, beheading the Ji family's divine body and slaying the Yin Yang Sect's holy son as easily as raising a hand.

Now all the heavenly pride of the Eastern Wasteland has emerged, yet no one dares to be arrogant—this says it all! "If anyone wants to make a move, they'd better weigh themselves first!"

The demonic qi retracted; the Black Emperor had no desire to deal with that person, and together with Duan De they turned into black light, stepping on the 'Travel' character secret, easily arriving beside the Dragon-Crying Pool.

"How is it?"

The big black dog stood in the center of the underground palace, gazing at the god king within the pool.

"We've added countless rare treasures, but the old god king's injuries are too severe; the effect is minimal…"

Jiang Yun was courteous toward the big black dog, after all, he had come to help them.

"Try this."

The Black Emperor said, taking out a precious bottle, he tipped it down and a golden little dragon shot out.

In an instant, rich medicinal fragrance spread, spiritual qi mingled, exuding an alluring aroma, and boundless life essence filled the entire underground palace.

The medicinal fragrance then drifted outward, coiling above Shencheng; cultivators several li away inhaled a mouthful and all felt much refreshed!

"This... this is divine medicine!"

"Good heavens, this is a rare treasure even more scarce than holy medicine; consuming this drop could easily add several hundred years to one's lifespan!"

Someone exclaimed, the excitement in their heart impossible to conceal, feeling the vigorous vitality within the enticing medicinal aroma; no one could remain calm!

Their eyes burned with fervor, their hearts itching unbearably; already someone could not restrain themselves and wanted to seize it.

"This..."

Jiang Yun and the Supreme Elder were also astonished; having lived so many years, this was the first time they had seen such a divine object! "Better take it soon, otherwise those people won't be able to hold back."

The big black dog hesitated not; under their control, the wandering little dragon slipped into the god king's brow in a puff.

"Cough cough..."

Endless medicinal power dissolved in his withered body, like a clear spring nourishing every inch of his flesh and soul.

Where the cool spiritual power passed, life flourished; flesh and blood regenerated, meridians repaired, and his body rose visibly, regaining its luster.

"Cough cough..."

The skin-and-bones god king gave a light cough, finally mustering a bit of strength to lift his eyes, glanced at the Black Emperor, nodded slightly, then his eyelids drooped heavily again.

This wasn't over; the big black dog then produced another precious bottle, tilted its mouth, and poured out a large amount of holy water, instantly filling the Dragon-Crying Pool.

"This is Yaochi holy water, indeed a sacred object of a realm!"

Jiang Yun gasped in astonishment, recognizing the object; Yaochi's holy water is very rare and possesses many miraculous effects.

Even when going to Yaochi in the name of a holy land to request it, one can obtain only a little, and whatever is gotten is used on blade edges, not daring to waste a drop.

Never would have thought Yang Zhu actually possesses such a quantity of holy springs; it's hard to imagine how he obtained them.

"Now it's settled; as long as we get through tonight, the God King will surely recover!"

The Jiang family members were overjoyed, feeling an excitement as if a heavy burden had been lifted.

During this time, they spent a tremendous price to buy countless treasures, yet even all together they couldn't compare to these two items! (End of chapter)
