Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

Xu Zhangqing's Divine Sense slowly merged into the interior of the Dragon Pearl.

A moment later, a glimmer of realization flashed in his eyes.

The effect of this Wutu Dragon Pearl was far stronger than he had imagined.

Effect One: Dragon Pearl Space

Inside the Dragon Pearl lay an independent space; though not as vast as a Personal Space, it was exceptionally stable, capable of storing a large quantity of Spiritual Treasures, spiritual plants, and ore. Moreover, the space was filled with rich Wutu Source and Earth Qi, and any earth-element spiritual items or ores stored within would be nourished, making it more suitable for storing earth-related treasures than a Personal Space.

Effect Two: Earth Qi Control

With the power of the Dragon Pearl, the user's ability to control Earth Qi was greatly increased; not only could the control range be expanded by more than three times, but every trace of Earth Qi could be precisely controlled, whether used for attack, defense, or aiding cultivation, making everything much easier.

Effect Three: Spiritual Vein Guidance

The Dragon Pearl could guide the surrounding Spiritual Veins, gathering them into itself; not only could it quickly restore the user's mana and physical strength, but it could also use the power of the Spiritual Veins to set up powerful Spiritual Arrays that could trap enemies and enhance the user themselves—even a Void Refinement cultivator would find them difficult to break.

Effect Four: Wutu Defense

The Dragon Pearl released a layer of Wutu Spiritual Shield; the shield contained Xuanhuang Mother Qi and the power of Wutu Source, its defense was extremely strong, able to withstand a full-strength blow from someone one major realm higher than the user, and it could automatically purify the surrounding Turbid Qi and evil Qi, protecting the user from interference.

After refining the Dragon Pearl, Xu Zhangqing raised his hand and waved; yellow spiritual light rose in his palm, and then he activated the Dragon Pearl Space, directing powerful suction toward the Xuanhuang Mother Ore that stretched for several li.

Though the Xuanhuang Mother Ore was extremely heavy, under the dual guidance of Wutu Source power and the Dragon Pearl's power, it began to be sucked into the space bit by bit.

The ore kept falling off, transforming into streaks of golden flowing light; the originally empty Dragon Pearl Space was gradually filled with Xuanhuang Mother Ore.

A full half an hour passed before that Xuanhuang Mother Ore stretching for several li was completely sucked dry.

Xu Zhangqing felt the massive amount of Xuanhuang Mother Ore within the Dragon Pearl Space, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.

With these treasures, he could forge the top-grade Magic Treasure Xuanhuang Mother Qi Cauldron.

"It's time to return to Dongyu."

Seeing that it was about enough, Xu Zhangqing no longer lingered, casting the Wutu Earth Dragon's evasion ability; his figure turned into a streak of yellow flowing light, swiftly shuttling underground at a speed several times faster than when he came.

After an unknown amount of time, Xu Zhangqing finally burst out of the earth, appearing in the territory of the Central Region.

But the sight before him made him frown.

He saw that the surroundings were turbid beyond measure, and the air was filled with thick Demon Qi.

From the mountains and forests in the distance came the roars of demon beasts one after another.

He had originally thought that since remnants of the Wutu Earth God's aura lingered nearby, the demon beasts wouldn't dare approach easily, but unexpectedly, the moment he burst out of the earth, he sensed a strong Demon Qi rapidly approaching him.

Xu Zhangqing's gaze sharpened, his Divine Sense spread out, and in an instant he perceived the identity of the newcomer.

It was actually a large group of Barbarian Bull Monster clan demons, about a hundred of them, each with a huge body, entirely earth-yellow, covered in hard fur, with thick horns on their heads.

The Barbarian Bull clan naturally possessed abilities similar to an Earth Spiritual Root, were skilled at manipulating Earth Qi, had formidable combat power, and were extremely bloodthirsty.

Now that the passage between the Central Region and the Demon Realm had opened, they took the opportunity to surge in, burning, killing, and looting in the Central Region, committing all manner of evil.

The reason they appeared here was that they were attracted by the lingering Wutu Earth God Source power, wanting to draw upon its power to increase their own strength.

But unexpectedly, they actually ran into Xu Zhangqing.

"Human Cultivator?"

The leading Barbarian Bull chief stopped his footsteps; his body was one size larger than the other Barbarian Bulls, his eyes were blood-red, and his tone was filled with intense hostility and contempt: "You actually dare to appear alone; you truly don't know how to live or die!"

"Just right; offer your flesh and blood and your mana to me, old man, to help me increase my Dao Xing!"

As the words fell, the leading Barbarian Bull chief drew Earth Qi from under his feet; a thick earth-yellow pillar of light smashed fiercely toward Xu Zhangqing.

The other Barbarian Bull Monsters followed suit one after another, and earth-element attacks came in succession.

Vast sky-filling earth-yellow spiritual light enveloped Xu Zhangqing, and the ground trembled violently, as if it wanted to wipe him out.

Xu Zhangqing's expression was calm, without panic.

The Barbarian Bull clan was skilled at manipulating Earth Qi, but before him—someone who had mastered the Filth Earth God Authority and could command ten thousand soils—it was simply showing off one's skills before an expert.

He raised his hand, and rich yellow light rose in his palm; then he said in a deep voice: "Ten Thousand Soils, heed my command, summon!"

As the words fell, the earth under his feet trembled again, and roaring sounds never ceased.

Immediately after, thick earth-yellow figures burst out of the earth one after another; they looked larger than the Rolling Earth Dragons summoned before, and their number far exceeded a thousand.

They densely surrounded Xu Zhangqing, letting out deafening roars toward those Barbarian Bull Monsters.

Hou wu!

Hou wu!!

Hou wu!!!

The momentum was magnificent, and the sound was astonishing.

These Rolling Earth Dragons were summoned by the authority of the Wutu Earth God and the power of the Dragon Pearl; their bodies contained rich Earth Qi, their scale armor was extremely hard, and their combat power was several times stronger than that of ordinary Rolling Earth Dragons.

The next second, they heeded Xu Zhangqing's command and charged out together, rushing toward those Barbarian Bull Monsters; as they galloped, they even plowed deep furrows into the ground.

"What!"

"So many Rolling Earth Dragons!"

"Just who is he?!"

Seeing this, the Barbarian Bull chief's face changed drastically, his eyes filled with disbelief.

He never expected that this human cultivator before him could actually summon so many Rolling Earth Dragons, and that each one's strength was not inferior to his own.

Before it could react, a huge Rolling Earth Dragon had already pounced in front of the Barbarian Bull chief, its sharp teeth biting fiercely into his neck; his originally hard fur was instantly torn open with several deep wounds down to the bone, and blood spurted out immediately.

Ang~

The Barbarian Bull leader let out a miserable scream, wanting to mobilize Earth Qi to counterattack, but the Earth Qi around its body had long been suppressed by the Rolling Earth Dragon, and it simply could not be mobilized.

Even the leader was like this, so the other Barbarian Bull Monsters naturally fell into a desperate situation.

Their attacks, landing on the Rolling Earth Dragon's scale armor, could only leave shallow traces, fundamentally unable to cause substantial injury.

And every bite and collision of the Rolling Earth Dragon could inflict fatal injuries on these Barbarian Bulls.

For a time, screams and the sound of shattering bones intertwined, the scene extremely tragic.

Xu Zhangqing stood in place, watching this one-sided slaughter.

These Barbarian Bull Monsters' bodies contained thick earth-attribute Spiritual Power and Blood Essence; to waste them like this was truly too much of a pity.

Therefore, Xu Zhangqing's mind moved, and he called out: "Blood Gourd!"

Suddenly, a gourd that was blood-red through and through appeared in his right hand.

The gourd was small in body type, its surface smooth and glowing red, emitting a faint bloody smell; it was precisely a Spirit Tool he had refined in his early years.

Although the Blood Gourd's grade was not high, it possessed a special ability: it could absorb Blood Essence and Divine Soul, then convert them into nutrients!
