"Do we really have to crush the Crystal Core in his brain?" Ye Yang gritted his teeth and asked.
"Yes, the Essence is the crystallization of a cultivator's power," Yun Xiaoxi replied, observing the black-clad man before her, sensing his growing anger.
...
"Clang!"
The Iron Spear plunged deep into the ground, and the black-clad man's gaze became increasingly ferocious. He licked his lips and leered, "Well, since I've already made my move, let's go on a killing spree today. I'll slaughter the newly born Fire God Warrior and capture the heir of Serene Gate. By the way, this generation's heir of Serene Gate is truly young and charming!"
Seeing the lascivious look in the black-clad man's eyes, Yun Xiaoxi's expression darkened as she said softly, "Scum! No matter which sect you come from, hand over the Divine Relic quickly, and I might spare your life!"
"Hand over the artifact?" The black-clad man grinned wickedly. "Dream on! Unless you're willing to strip and accompany me to bed, maybe I'll be in a good mood and give you the artifact."
Yun Xiaoxi's beautiful eyes were filled with killing intent as she suddenly drew her sword. Her speed was like lightning as the Sharp Sword formed a wind blade that fiercely stabbed toward the black-clad man.
"Trivial skills!"
The black-clad man laughed heartily and swatted at her attack effortlessly, dispersing Yun Xiaoxi's energy with ease. He moved even faster, darting around the tomb like lightning. Suddenly appearing behind Yun Xiaoxi, he reached out with a large hand and grabbed her shoulder, extending his tongue toward her fair neck.
Unable to endure such humiliation, Yun Xiaoxi gritted her teeth and shot upward at high speed. With a loud crash, she slammed the black-clad man against the ceiling of the tomb.
The black-clad man winced in pain and hurriedly released his grip, but it was too late. Yun Xiaoxi's Blade cut through with thunderous force, severing his wrist cleanly. To everyone's astonishment, Yun Xiaoxi leaped up suddenly, her skirt billowing as she revealed her long Snow Legs beneath her armor. The Silver Silk Boots wrapped around her legs glowed with intense flames as she delivered a powerful kick to the black-clad man's chest!
"Crack!"
The sound of breaking ribs could be faintly heard. After landing a successful blow, a glimmer of surprise flashed in Yun Xiaoxi's eyes as she whispered, "Zi Yu, although a Starry Sky Level Three expert can heal their body on their own, each healing consumes a large amount of life energy. His current strength is at most at Starry Sky Level Two; go on and kill him!"
Clearly, Yun Xiaoxi was filled with murderous intent after the earlier humiliation. As the successor of Serene Gate, Pure and Immaculate, how could she allow such desecration?
Before Yun Xiaoxi finished speaking, Ye Yang had already dashed out. The True Fire Sword was enveloped in intense flames as he unleashed a series of three swift strikes, each infused with Life Fire Energy and Wilderness Thunder!
"Clang Clang Clang!"
The Iron Spear trembled violently. After Ye Yang's three strikes, the middle of the Iron Spear was nearly shattered, and the fierce blows left the black-clad man reeling, his blood surging and breath disordered. He secretly cursed; this kid's attack power was truly bizarre, carrying a majestic Dragon Power that penetrated to the very marrow.
Ye Yang's eyes burned with intense fury. Not only had this black-clad man stolen his divine weapon, but he also attempted to possess Yun Xiaoxi—this was simply unforgivable!
The rapid fourth strike descended, the second move of the Fire God’s Three Styles, Purgatory Flame Blade!
"Slash!"
With sparks flying, a light sound echoed as the long spear in the black-clad man's hand snapped in two. He widened his eyes in disbelief at what he saw; a dignified fourth-grade Divine Weapon had been destroyed by the opponent's sword. This kid and that sword were far too terrifying!
Seizing the moment, Ye Yang pressed the attack, swinging his Blade and leaving behind ghastly wounds on the black-clad man. The fabric flew wildly as chaotic sword marks danced across the area.
In shock, the black-clad man hurriedly retreated. Planting one foot on the ground, he shouted, "You two little brats are impressive. We'll settle this another day!"
With that, he vanished in a flash, moving with astonishing speed!
Yun Xiaoxi drew her Longbow and suddenly unleashed a shot of Rainbow Light. A cry of agony echoed from the darkness; it was clear that her arrow had found its mark.
Ye Yang widened his eyes, staring into the darkness of the tomb, and said angrily, "Are we just going to let that guy escape with the divine artifact? Xiaoxi, let's go out and hunt him down!"
Yun Xiaoxi shook her head, grabbing Ye Yang's arm to stop him. "No need. Zi Yu's speed at Starry Sky Level Three is definitely beyond our reach. Just give it up!"
"But the divine artifact is gone, and my mission in Hidden Dragon Hall is ruined..."
"That won't happen."
Yun Xiaoxi smiled mysteriously. "If you sense carefully, the energy of the Divine Relic is still very clear and nearby. That person only took one of them; there is still another artifact within the Fire God Relic!"
"Oh?"
Ye Yang's hope was rekindled.
...
"Xiaoxi, how can you be so sure there is another artifact?" Ye Yang asked.
Yun Xiaoxi chuckled lightly. "My master sent me a message. I already know the names of the Twelve Divine Relics. The Fire God Relic contains the Fire God Helmet and the Fire God Armor. The other ten Divine Relics are the Water God Spear, Water God Shield, Wind God Lyre, Wind God Cloak, Thunder God Spear, Thunder God Mirror, Rock God Flag, Rock God War Drum, Wood God Arm, and Wood God Battle Boots. Each of the Twelve Divine Artifacts has different magical effects, but the specifics are unknown."
"Is that all your master told you?"
"Yes, just that!"
Ye Yang took a deep breath and looked around. "Then where could the Fire God Armor be..."
Yun Xiaoxi shook her head.
In the end, both of their gazes fell on the coffin at the center of the tomb. Clearly, the black-clad tomb raider had stolen the Fire God Helmet from here. As for the Fire God Armor, he must have been interrupted by Ye Yang and Yun Xiaoxi before he could take it.
...
Yun Xiaoxi pursed her red lips, her beautiful eyes filled with a timid expression, and said, "Zi Yu, go take a look. That is your ancestor; he surely won't harm you..."
Ye Yang was taken aback. "That may not be the case..."
In fact, Ye Yang was unsure why he had come to this place from his own time, let alone whether he truly belonged to the Fire God Clan's Bloodline. Perhaps there was an ancestor of the Fire God Clan lying in that coffin, ready for a bloodline recognition ceremony, and if that were the case, Ye Yang would definitely lose control.
...
"Rustling sand..."
Stepping carefully on the sandy ground, Ye Yang approached the coffin cautiously. He reached out to support the coffin lid and gently pushed it aside, immediately producing a sharp and terrifying scraping sound!
Yun Xiaoxi gathered her True Qi, biting her silver teeth as she stood there, feeling both fear and worry.
Summoning his courage, Ye Yang stretched his neck to look inside the coffin and was instantly terrified; a pair of dark eyes were staring directly at him!
"Damn!"
He exclaimed softly, his face turning pale. But upon taking another look, he let out a sigh of relief. Those weren't eyeballs at all; instead, they were a pair of pitch-black Crystal Cores!
A powerful spiritual energy emanated from the Crystal Core, indicating that this Crystal Core was of a high level!
Two Crystal Cores lay at one end of the coffin, while on the other side was a set of remains that had lost much of its former glory, belonging to the master of the tomb. The remains were missing a head, but the body was clad in dark red battle armor, which radiated a familiar and powerful aura—it was the Fire God Armor!
Ye Yang was overjoyed and reached out to grab the two Crystal Cores, tossing them into the Cosmic Bag. However, when he tried to grasp the Fire God Armor, his fingers were unexpectedly burned by it. The armor seemed to be glowing red hot, and an overwhelming force surged forth!
Boom!
With a loud explosion, Ye Yang and his companion were blasted backward, and the entire tomb was filled with red light. In the next moment, a fiery beast materialized from the Fire God Armor, its massive form shaking as it suddenly broke through the ceiling of the tomb, erupting into the open air and leaving chaos in its wake!
Boom!
Yun Xiaoxi grabbed Ye Yang's arm and pulled him out of the tomb just in time to avoid being buried.
...
Under the night sky, the enormous beast emerged, letting out an angry roar. Its fierce head and long body were covered in dark red scales, with sharp claws waving about. Its entire Scale Armor was jagged like blades, and a pair of blood-red eyes stared intently at Ye Yang and Yun Xiaoxi.
This was clearly a fire-element Ancient Divine Dragon!
