Chapter 1448: Gains and Losses (Second update, requesting everything)

"Damn it, how can he be this strong? He is only a Double-Character King!"

Seeing the situation becoming increasingly unfavorable for his side, the Blood Emperor's face turned even more ashen; even though he had overestimated Li Zhangsheng's strength, he found that Li Zhangsheng's strength was far beyond his estimates.

If this continued, failure would be what awaited him.

Li Zhangsheng did not press too hard either; the two sides were relatively matched in strength, and if the Blood Emperor were to fight desperately, he would also have to take huge risks. The best method was still to force the Blood Emperor away.

However, just at this moment, the Blood Emperor pointed at the Blood Slaughter Meditation Prison Twin Swords, and immediately, countless black-red sword Qi flew out, shooting in all directions with the momentum of Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin.

Even with the help of the River Chart and Luo Book, the Biluohuangquan Twin Swords were still covered in soybean-sized nicks; it was feared they would be scrapped if they couldn't hold out much longer.

Under these circumstances, Li Zhangsheng pointed at the River Chart and Luo Book again; the Eight Trigrams Phantom became more solid and began to spin at high speed, and a massive suction force emerged, swallowing all the black-red sword Qi until it disappeared.

Suddenly, the Blood Slaughter Meditation Prison Twin Swords vanished, swapping positions with one of the black-red sword Qi using a special ability, appearing less than a hundred meters away from the Demon Refining Pot.

This distance was covered in an instant for the Blood Slaughter Meditation Prison Twin Swords, appearing before the Demon Refining Pot and intending to forcibly snatch it away.

At the critical moment, the Eight-Clawed Golden Dragon ignored its opponent and forcibly traversed space, slapping the sword light to pieces with one claw, though its dragon claw was also cut by the sharp sword light, leaving wounds deep enough to see bone.

The Blood Slaughter Meditation Prison Twin Swords' continuous bleeding and blinding effects were triggered, but this had little impact on the Eight-Clawed Golden Dragon, which still relied on its senses to reach for the Demon Refining Pot.

In fact, it wasn't that Li Zhangsheng hadn't thought about using the Eight-Clawed Golden Dragon to seize the Demon Refining Pot before, but the Blood Emperor also possessed space-type Demon Pets, which led to every attempt ending in failure.

Just like before, as the Eight-Clawed Golden Dragon reached for the Demon Refining Pot, a strange bird that was red as cinnabar fire, formless and faceless, with four feet and four wings, also tore through space and directly knocked the Eight-Clawed Golden Dragon back.

This was a Divine Beast named Dihuan, possessing the Great Accomplishment stage Dijiang bloodline; it belonged to the mid-level Divine Beast category and was one of the Blood Emperor's two Emperor-rank Demon Pets.

The next moment, the Eight-Clawed Golden Dragon and Dihuan tangled together again, making it difficult to determine a winner in the short term.

At this time, the Sun Moon Star Chart floated over lightly, and the Eight Trigrams Phantom formed by the River Chart and Luo Book also descended from the other side, targeting the Demon Refining Pot.

Under these circumstances, the Blood Emperor made a prompt decision: since he could not obtain the Demon Refining Pot and it was difficult to destroy it completely, he would choose to dismantle it.

Ding ding~

In an instant, the Blood Slaughter Meditation Prison Twin Swords thrust forward, and in the blink of an eye, the two precious pearls embedded in the surface of the Demon Refining Pot were pried off. Before snatching the two pearls away, the twin swords took the opportunity to strike the Demon Refining Pot toward the direction where the Phoenix Clan and Dragon Clan were battling.

In the choice between intercepting the Blood Slaughter Meditation Prison Twin Swords and the Demon Refining Pot, Li Zhangsheng chose the latter, which could be considered giving both sides a way out; otherwise, if things continued, neither side might end up well.

Like the Imitation Demon Refining Pot, the Demon Refining Pot had five pearls embedded in it in total. Even if it lost two pearls, it did not mean the Demon Refining Pot could not be used; perhaps it could be implemented through alternative means.

Of course, if done this way, the effect of the Demon Refining Pot would certainly be discounted, but it was certain that the effect would be better than the Imitation Demon Refining Pot.

On the battlefield where the Dragon Clan and Phoenix Clan were trembling, they were also observing the situation. Seeing the Demon Refining Pot flying over, the leaders of both clans felt a bit tempted, but immediately hid it.

"Retreat!"

The Phoenix Clan Clan Leader's expression changed; having no intention of fighting for the Demon Refining Pot, he immediately led the two Elders to flee.

The Four Seas Dragon Kings did not stop them—not because they didn't want to, but because in their state, if the Phoenix Clan were pushed too hard, the other side might unleash a Burning Body Explosion, which would likely result in a lose-lose situation, doing more harm than good.

Likewise, the Four Seas Dragon Kings had no intention of snatching the Demon Refining Pot, letting Li Zhangsheng take it away.

The Blood Slaughter Meditation Prison Twin Swords flew back with the two pearls; the Blood Emperor put them away without even looking and immediately flew toward the Thunder Emperor.

Under the pressure of Wendi, Ning Bizhen, and Luo Yuanjun, the Thunder Emperor was in a sorry state and had lost three Demon Pets, unable to hold on much longer.

Seeing the Blood Emperor personally supporting the Thunder Emperor, Wendi immediately retreated a distance with Ning Bizhen and Luo Yuanjun to guard, letting the Thunder Emperor leave.

On the other side, the Source Emperor also broke free; although he could not beat Wudi, his Demon Pets had not suffered any losses, and the situation was much better than the Thunder Emperor's.

"Let's go!"

After joining up with the Thunder Emperor and the Source Emperor, the Blood Emperor no longer lingered and resolutely chose to leave.

Li Zhangsheng and the others did not pursue; for them, this could be considered a great success, having almost wiped out the heavy treasures and inheritance left behind by the Mysterious Emperor.

Boom~

At this time, a booming sound rang out; the Mountain Ape fell to the ground with two huge penetrating wounds on its chest and abdomen, having been pierced by the sharp tusks of the Dragon Elephant.

The Dragon Elephant and the Mountain Ape were similar in strength, but after the ten Azure Cats finished off the Chongming Bird, they turned to assist the Dragon Elephant in dealing with the Mountain Ape, directly causing the Mountain Ape to be defeated and killed in a short time.

With no external enemies left, the next step was naturally the distribution phase.

"Everyone gets a copy of the Mysterious Emperor Inheritance. Besides that, the damaged Demon Refining Pot belongs to me, and the rest will be distributed according to contribution."

Even the Demon Refining Pot, missing two pearls, still had energy fluctuations that reached the Upper Langhuan Supreme Treasure level.

As for the remaining treasures, they were easy to distribute; although it seemed like there were many monks and little gruel, the Four Seas Dragon Kings could be considered a single entity.

Thus, that Superior Langhuan Supreme Treasure level pair of boots became the spoils of the Four Seas Dragon Kings.

As for the remaining crown and necklace, they were taken by Wendi and Wudi.

Of course, Wendi and Wudi also had to give Ning Bizhen and Luo Yuanjun some compensation; Ning Bizhen received a portion of Lava Origin, and Luo Yuanjun received a Secondary Rule Crystal, which could be considered a happy ending for all.

As for the ten Azure Cats and the Dragon Elephant, they were naturally rewarded by Li Zhangsheng; they were easy to satisfy.

Not long after, the copying of the Mysterious Emperor Inheritance was completed, and everyone/dragon received a copy, which was a happy ending for all.

The next moment, Li Zhangsheng waved his hand, putting the 'Star Lord' into the Secret Realm, and then headed to the Mucang Empire with Wendi, Wudi, and the Four Seas Dragon Kings.

As for those dragon descendants, they were all sent back by the Four Seas Dragon Kings, because that was not something they could participate in.

Soon, Li Zhangsheng and the others appeared on the ruins of the Imperial Capital of the Mucang Empire.

This place had changed drastically; the once prosperous Imperial Capital had been razed to the ground, leaving only a huge blood pool with an altar floating in the middle.

On the altar, the Phoenix Emperor was tied to a pillar; her eyes had been gouged out, leaving only empty sockets, her nose had been sliced off, her tongue had been severed, and a sharp metal rod had been driven into her body. Having lost all her blood, she looked like a dried corpse, and her appearance was quite terrifying.

Even the well-informed Four Seas Dragon Clan could not help but gasp.
