God Emperor Chapter 2116

Chapter 2116 - Lord of Elixir

Dragon Phantom Lord relied on the weak signs of the Sun-Moon Dragon Spring it detected. Along with Zhang Ruochen, it swiftly swept through the area carefully to locate it.

Although the aura of Sun-Moon Dragon Spring pervaded a large area, they couldn’t find it no matter how hard they searched. It was as if it was no longer here.

The Sun-Moon Dragon Spring had long gained spiritual intelligence and knew how to seek opportunities and avoid threats. Hence, ever since it was born, it never stayed in a certain place for long.

Are we too late? Dragon Phantom Lord looked reluctant to accept the outcome.

It wasn’t easy to detect trails left by the Sun-Moon Dragon Spring. It’s a pity to miss it.’

Zhang Ruochen thought for a while and took out the Secret Tome of Time and Space. He mobilized the Precepts of Dimension in him and fused them into the tome. Instantly, an invisible wave of dimensional fluctuations spread out.

It worked amazingly that it could seep into the surroundings and underground slowly to probe everything.

Suddenly, there was a hint of surprise in his eyes. “There’s a strange wave of power 30,000 feet underground,” he said.

So the Sun-Moon Dragon Spring hides underground this time. No wonder we can’t find it, Dragon Phantom Lord said with sudden realization.

True Dragon Island’s earth structure was dense, making it difficult to probe underground with spiritual power. Hence, it would be challenging to know the situation beneath the surface of the ground.

Even with his high attainments in dimensional techniques, Zhang Ruochen couldn’t have sensed it 30,000 feet underground without the help of the Secret Tome of Time and Space.

Dragon Phantom Lord then acted immediately with Zhang Ruochen’s instructions. It used all kinds of means to dig an underground tunnel.

However, it was obviously not an easy task. The deeper it went, the harder it became. It was difficult to even for someone like Dragon Phantom Lord.

CRACK!

At a certain moment, the underground rocks shattered, revealing a pitch-black hole. Hazy fog emanated from it.

This fog was special as it was interwoven with the Qi of profound Yin and Yang. Their nature was clearly opposite yet still appeared as one.

When Dragon Phantom Lord saw the fog, it got excited and said, “Such dense fog of the Sun and Moon, the Sun-Moon Dragon Spring must be down there.”

The springwater of the Sun-Moon Dragon Spring was also very beneficial to him. If it could get more of the Saint Springwater, it could baptize its own divine power and Saint Soul to improve its strength.

Since the fog came from the Sun-Moon Dragon Spring, it must have extraordinary effects.’ Zhang Ruochen then performed Empyrean Emperor Ming’s Scripture to absorb the fog into his body.

The fog fused with his flesh and bones once it entered his body without the need for refinement.

In the process, Zhang Ruochen vaguely sensed that his body and Saint Soul had been strengthened. At the same time, his Saint Qi had also become purer.

With his current cultivation base, it was rare for him to be able to feel the subtle effects of absorbing the fog from the Sun-Moon Dragon Spring.

‘The Sun-Moon Dragon Spring is indeed magical. If I can get some essence of it, my body and Saint Soul will be greatly improved,’ Zhang Ruochen’s eyes were full of anticipation.

Zhang Ruochen and Dragon Phantom Lord took the opportunity and entered the hole without any hesitation.

They were careful and had concealed their aura to avoid alerting the Sun-Moon Dragon Spring.

The underground space was huge. It was filled with the potent fog of the Sun and Moon, which almost condensed into a liquid.

Upon entering the underground space, Zhang Ruochen found that the place was not that dark. It was bathed in the soft saint light.

The source of the saint light was a big sun and a bright moon emitting the interwoven golden and silver saint light, respectively.

It was neither real sun nor moon but merely a phenomenon from the Sun-Moon Dragon Spring.

To see through the Sun-Moon Dragon Spring behind the thick fog, Zhang Ruochen used his Eye of the Divine Mark.

“Huh? There’s someone ahead.”

Zhang Ruochen’s eyes narrowed.

It was not good news when there was someone else in the location of the Sun-Moon Dragon Spring.

A glance at the person’s back had made Zhang Ruochen feel uneasy. He sensed a serious threat.

Dragon Phantom Lord also noticed the person ahead. He spoke in a low voice, “It’s Lord of Elixir. This guy really has a nose for good stuff. It always seems to be able to find the place where the Sun-Moon Dragon Spring appears.”

He had met Lord of Elixir when he accidentally found the Sun Moon Divine Dragon Spring previously. Never had he expected to meet it again this time.

Zhang Ruochen couldn’t help but frown when he heard “Lord of Elixir” being mentioned. They had just met Mojo and Lord of Sword not long ago, and now they bumped into Lord of Elixir. He didn’t know whether it was good or bad luck.

In other words, the only one of the five overlords of True Dragon Island he hadn’t met was Lord of Stone.

According to Dragon Phantom Lord, Lord of Elixir was formed from the remnant essence of a crushed Emperor Grade Sacred Pill. Despite no longer being an Emperor Grade Sacred Pill, it was still far more potent than a King Grade Sacred Pill.

Dragon Phantom Lord then said, “Lord of Elixir holds an extremely deep obsession to condense its Origin again and transform himself into an Emperor Grade Sacred Pill. For this, he swallowed a lot of heavenly materials and earthly treasures, including a large number of King Grade Sacred Pills. At the same time, it used the Sun-Moon Dragon Spring to baptize the Qi of his elixir.”

Lord of Elixir was distinctive from the rest. It was far better at finding all kinds of Sacred Pills than the other four overlords. Most of the high-grade Sacred Pills kept in Dragon Temple, especially the King Grade Sacred Pills, had fallen into the hands of Lord of Elixir.

Over the years, almost thirty King Grade Sacred Pills had appeared, and Lord of Elixir had obtained at least two-thirds of them. That was a shocking amount of wealth that was sufficient to make a Supreme Saint envy.

Its Origin must have become extremely powerful after swallowing so many of the King Grade Sacred Pills. Given enough time, it might really be able to turn them into a complete Emperor Grade Sacred Pill.

“Swallowing an enormous number of King Grade Sacred Pills to cultivate its own Elixir Qi is really extravagant.” Zhang Ruochen couldn’t help but sigh.

The King Grade Sacred Pills were priceless. Any ordinary Supreme Saints would not even have enough Saint Stones to buy them. Even if they had acquired one, they wouldn’t be willing to refine it easily.

Immediately, a light flashed in Zhang Ruochen’s eyes. He stared at Lord of Elixir’s back and wondered, ‘What kind of extraordinary effect would a Sacred Pill that was so close to the Emperor Grade have?’

Since Lord of Elixir rose after being crushed, although it has yet to become an Emperor Grade Sacred Pill, its effects might not be far off.’

Dragon Phantom Lord seemed to understand what Zhang Ruochen was thinking. He quickly said, “Master, Lord of Elixir is different from the Elixir Spirits of the King Grade Sacred Pills we encountered before. Not only does it have great power, but it also has many mysterious Elixir Spirit Secret Techniques. It is a very difficult figure to deal with. It’s best not to try it.”

“What is the Elixir Spirit Secret Technique?” Zhang Ruochen asked curiously.

Dragon Phantom Lord said, “It is a secret technique created by the Elixir Spirit of the sacred pill. It suits the Elixir Spirits the most. They practice it so they can utilize their power perfectly.”

“The Divine Dragon race used some secret techniques to tame the Elixir Spirits of the Emperor Grade Sacred Pills and taught them all kinds of secret techniques to nurture them into peerless powerhouses. Elixir Spirit Secret Techniques were created by these Elixir Spirits. The secret techniques mastered by Lord of Elixir originated from the crushed Emperor Grade Sacred Pills.”

Zhang Ruochen couldn’t help but be surprised by what he had heard. The Divine Dragon race was indeed powerful to have even done such a thing.

All sacred pills possessed spiritual intelligence. The higher their ranks were, the greater their spiritual intelligence was. Hence, the Elixir Spirit, which an Emperor Grade Sacred Pill cultivated, was not only similar to a cultivator in terms of spiritual intelligence. It might even be better.

And the number of precepts of heaven and earth in an Emperor Grade Sacred Pill was high. Hence, it saved the Elixir Spirit the efforts in self-cultivation.

“I think now is a good time to deal with Lord of Elixir,” Zhang Ruochen said with bright eyes.

Dragon Phantom Lord was stunned at first but understood him shortly after that. It couldn’t help but mourn for Lord of Elixir in its heart.

After thinking for a while, Zhang Ruochen said, “Don’t alert it for the time being. Let’s figure out a way to collect some spring water.”

Even though he had a way to deal with Lord of Elixir, it would be a loss if they frightened Sun-Moon Dragon Spring.

Both the Lord of Elixir and the Saint Springwater were his targets, and he didn’t want to lose any of them.

Zhang Ruochen and Dragon Phantom Lord then changed their direction. They moved to the other side and approached the spring carefully.

The spring was oval in shape, and it was less than three meters square. The source of the spring was in the middle. Golden and silver spring water kept gushing out of it but clearly separated, just like Tai Chi.

Two tiny divine dragons were sighted swimming in the middle of the spring. One was a golden dragon, and the other was a silver dragon. Both were only about a foot long.

The precious dragons were the essence of the Saint Spring. They were rare. One could use them in a cultivation path to becoming a top Saint Kings and Supreme Saints.

As for the divine spring, it was hidden in the source of the spring and hardly revealed. Only the experts of the divine dragon race could acquire it in small amounts.

Although Lord of Elixir sat cross-legged by the spring, it did not take the Saint Spring wantonly. It was clear that it wanted to use the Sun-Moon Dragon Spring for cultivation slowly for a long time.

“Attack.”

Zhang Ruochen whispered and threw out Mercury Gourd.

Dragon Phantom Lord used the dimensional method without hesitation and tried to get some Springwater from Saint Spring.

Mercury Gourd appeared in the spring instantly and released a strong suction force which had almost absorbed all of the spring.

Since Zhang Ruochen’s main target was the two divine dragons formed from the essence of the Saint Spring, he aimed the gourd at them directly.

Roar!

The spring shook and let out an earth-shaking dragon’s roar.

A layer of hazy saint light appeared and covered the spring to prevent the Saint Spring from flowing away.

The next moment, the sun and moon phenomenon reflected above had entered the spring. The spring itself sank directly into the ground and disappeared without a trace.

From the moment Zhang Ruochen took out the mercury gourd when the spring was trying to escape, everything happened in the blink of an eye, and Lord of Elixir could not react in time.

It opened its eyes suddenly and fixed its gaze on Dragon Phantom Lord. It shouted in anger, “How dare you disrupt my cultivation here? Dragon Phantom Lord, are you trying to get yourself killed?”

Dragon Phantom Lord opened its mouth and gulped down the Saint Spring he took. No signs of fear were observed from his face, and he said, “The Sun-Moon Dragon Spring does not belong to you. I can take it as well. If you want to fight, I’m glad to do so.”

It was confident as Zhang Ruochen was around that it even ignored Lord of Elixir’s threat.

Dragon Phantom Lord, don’t even think about leaving here safely. Lord of Elixir’s eyes were fierce, and its body emitted strong killing intent.

As they were talking, Lord of Elixir formed a mysterious seal and released a powerful Elixir Qi. It condensed into an illusory ferocious demonic dragon pouncing at Dragon Phantom Lord.

Lord of Elixir was completely enraged this time; it used a powerful Elixir Spirit Secret Technique as he intended to teach Dragon Phantom Lord a painful lesson.

At that very moment, an ancient broken stele suddenly flew out of the back of Dragon Phantom Lord and pressed down towards Lord of Elixir.

The broken stele didn’t reveal any magical features, but the malevolent demonic dragon condensed from Lord of Elixir’s Elixir Qi had mysteriously dissipated.

“What is this?”

Lord of Elixir’s expression changed drastically as it stared at the broken stele flying towards it.

Without any hesitation, Lord of Elixir changed its hand seals and formed a divine seal with his Elixir Qi to attack the stele.

Strange things happened again. As soon as the divine seal flew out, it dissipated instantly, just like the demonic dragon did. The Elixir Qi had also disappeared without a trace.

Having witnessed what happened, Lord of Elixir felt a chill in its heart. It knew that the situation was not working in his favor.

It retreated quickly, trying to avoid the broken stele.

Swoosh.

Zhang Ruochen rushed out from the back of Dragon Phantom Lord. He pressed one hand against the broken stele while chasing after Lord of Elixir. Since there was no one else around, he could use the God-Defiance Stele without any worries.

Only now did Lord of Elixir realize that there was someone else around besides Dragon Phantom Lord.

When it noticed that the broken stele was approaching him, Lord of Elixir had no choice but to block the stele with its hand.

However, the moment its hand came into contact with the stele, its expression changed drastically. A look of shock appeared in its eyes. It realized that the Elixir Qi in its body was dissipating inexplicably.

“What on earth is this?”

Lord of Elixir was flustered and intended to withdraw its hand immediately.

However, what frightened it was that its hand seemed to be stuck to the stele and could not be separated from the stele no matter how hard it tried.

It had no choice but to mobilize its power and fight against the stele with all its might.

Unfortunately, the more attack it resisted, the faster the power in its body dissipated.

“Who are you? What are you trying to do?” Lord of Elixir stared at Zhang Ruochen and asked loudly.

Zhang Ruochen put one hand on God-Defiance Stele and looked at Lord of Elixir calmly without uttering a word.

His plan was successful. He intended to let Dragon Phantom Lord draw Lord of Elixir’s attention and use God-Defiance Stele to catch it by surprise.

Dragon Phantom Lord watched quietly from the side. It couldn’t help but shook its head as it had personally experienced the terror of the God-Defiance Stele. Any attempts to resist against it were futile.

If it wasn’t because of that, why would it choose to submit to Zhang Ruochen anyways?

All of a sudden, Zangshan Demonic Mirror flew out of Zhang Ruochen’s body. The surface of the mirror rippled like water, and it released a terrifying suction force akin to a black hole.

The God-Defiance Stele had almost shattered the power of Lord of Elixir; it was then absorbed into the Zangshan Demonic Mirror instantly.

Zhang Ruochen put Zangshan Demonic Mirror away and smiled in satisfaction. Even a hundred of King Grade Sacred Pills would be no match for this quasi-Emperor-Grade Sacred Pill.

“Congratulations, Master. You’ve successfully suppressed Lord of Elixir. You will now be able to create the most powerful Neverwither saint body after you refine it,” Dragon Phantom Lord said with a smile.

Zhang Ruochen’s heart skipped a beat. “Maybe this quasi-Emperor-Grade Sacred Pill can help Lanyou,” he whispered to himself.

Lanyou’s Neverwither body state had been destroyed. Although it was almost impossible for it to be re-forged, it was still something Zhang Ruochen had always cared about.

With the serendipity in the second gradient of the Endless Abyss and the quasi-Emperor-Grade Sacred Pill, there would be a higher chance of success in re-forging a Neverwither Saint Body.

After putting away Zangshan Demonic Mirror and God Defiance Stele, Zhang Ruochen then took out the Mercury Gourd. He was eager to see what he had gained this time.

Mercury Gourd was very different on the inside. It was so spacious that it could even fit a large lake easily.

After checking, the smile in Zhang Ruochen’s eyes grew wider. “There were more than 35,000 drops of ordinary Saint Spring and 2,400 drops of Saint Spring essence. Our efforts have finally paid off.”

With the vigilance of the Sun-Moon Dragon Spring, he was satisfied to get this much springwater. His only regret was that he did not manage to gain the divine spring.

However, he wouldn’t be able to utilize them with his current cultivation state anyways. It was only useful for the cultivation of Supreme Saints and deities.

He should have thanked Mojo for such an opportunity to obtain the Springwater. If it were not for the Mojo’s wanton attacks, they would not have come to this area by accident.
