Chapter 334: Divine Metal in Hand! Prodigy of the Myriad Clans!

"Kunpeng?"

Su Changqing's pupils constricted as he looked at the Little Peng King.

"How did you know that Tianyi would definitely have the Bloodline Fusion Technique?"

The Tianyi legacy was still transforming, and even he didn't know what it contained.

Why would the Little Peng King know?

Moreover, the name "Kunpeng" matched the legendary creature from his memories.

"My bloodline told me."

The Little Peng King didn't hide it, saying, "The Tianpeng clan's bloodline can be traced back to ancient times."

"I imagine that the Tianyi of those times must have possessed this technique."

"Or perhaps, my ancestors witnessed Tianyi's methods and created this technique."

Su Changqing fell silent upon hearing this.

It seemed his guess was correct; the pinnacle of medical arts was the fusion of lifeblood and genes.

Moreover, Tianyi had already made significant progress in this field and conducted extensive experiments.

"I wonder what legacy Tianyi left behind."

After a moment of contemplation, Su Changqing looked at the tense Little Peng King and smiled lightly.

"Once you find the Kunpeng lineage, come find me."

The Tianyi legacy was in its final stages of advancement and would be completed soon.

Helping the Little Peng King would also give him experience in using the Tianyi secret technique.

"Alright!"

The Little Peng King gave Su Changqing a deep look. "If I succeed, I'll owe you a life!"

Kunpeng held special significance for the Tianpeng clan.

After all, it was a height even their ancestors had never reached.

Su Changqing didn't respond, only shaking his head with a smile.

"Huh, did you, Little Peng King, change your attitude?"

At this moment, Chu Xi approached, curiously looking at Su Changqing and the Little Peng King, who hadn't fought.

The Little Peng King had always been proud, but now he was unusually low-key in front of Su Changqing.

"Hmph!"

The Little Peng King coldly snorted and turned away without a word.

"Chu girl."

Su Changqing chuckled. "Now that we're in Yuzhi, remember to be low-key."

"Grudges among Continental cultivators should be put aside here. After all, the Myriad Clans and the Fiends are our common enemies."

"I know~" Chu Xi drawled in response.

She was proud, but not foolish.

The Myriad Clans harbored resentment against Continental beings, and the Fiends were a looming threat.

If Continental cultivators didn't band together, they would be bullied to death in Yuzhi.

"Indeed, fighting alone in Yuzhi won't work."

Miao Feng and Li Bufan also came forward. Li Bufan said, "The Emperor's Path has nine gates, each filled with boundless opportunities and Heavenly Dao-sealed guardians."

"Defeating these guardians grants a large amount of Law fragments, significantly boosting one's combat power and cultivation."

"However, to defeat these Fiend guardians, we must work together and be wary of other races trying to steal Law fragments."

"Once we reach the Emperor's Path, we must cooperate."

As a member of a secret family, Li Bufan knew the details of the Emperor's Path well.

The Emperor's Path offered boundless opportunities, but it was also fraught with danger.

Only by working together could they gain the upper hand.

"Don't worry, we have Changqing here."

Miao Feng smiled. "With a prodigy like him, what do we have to fear?"

Upon hearing this, Li Bufan, the Little Peng King, and Chu Xi all seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

The tension of entering Yuzhi suddenly diminished.

It was easier to thrive under the protection of a powerful ally.

Su Changqing had become a pillar of support for Continental cultivators.

However, Su Changqing shook his head and said, "I won't be entering the Emperor's Path anytime soon."

Everyone present was taken aback, and Chu Xi couldn't help but ask, "Why?"

"Only by entering the Emperor's Path can we quickly grow stronger."

"If you enter too late, you'll fall far behind others."

While the Continent's resources were decent, they were insufficient for a prodigy like Su Changqing.

Why did the Heavenly Prides of various trends fight so hard to enter the Emperor's Path?

Because, on the Continent, it took hundreds or even thousands of years to cultivate from the Divine Law Realm to the Sage and Near-Imperial levels.

In the Emperor's Path, it might take just three to five years, or at most ten years!

The Emperor's Path was a fast track to the peak!

As long as one didn't die, their cultivation and realm would undergo rapid and significant transformations.

For any Heavenly Pride, entering a day late could mean falling far behind others.

This was why, as soon as the Emperor's Path opened, Continental Heavenly Prides gathered here.

But now, just one step away from the Emperor's Path, Su Changqing wanted to return to the Continent?

Such a choice was hard for Chu Xi and the others to understand.

Su Changqing didn't elaborate, only shaking his head. "My path is not in the Emperor's Path."

Chu Xi was about to ask more, but suddenly, a powerful aura surged from the distance in Yuzhi.

Over time, the Myriad Clans had gathered their strong reinforcements.

"Bold move!"

Before the person arrived, a cold, murderous voice echoed through the sky.

Upon closer inspection, a man with a vertical divine eye on his forehead was approaching.

"Lord Ye Tong!"

The Three-Eyed Clan Heavenly Pride, who was trapped by Su Changqing, immediately showed relief.

The newcomer was none other than the top Heavenly Pride of his clan, Ye Tong!

Ye Tong first glanced at the fallen Myriad Clans Heavenly Pride, then cast a cold gaze at Su Changqing and the others.

"Was this your doing?"

Su Changqing met his gaze. "What do you want?"

"Ha, die!"

Without any preamble, Ye Tong immediately attacked.

His divine eye glowed with a deep, dark light, and the sky darkened.

A strange and powerful aura instantly enveloped the area.

Su Changqing's eyes narrowed, and he was about to rise.

But at that moment, the trapped Three-Eyed Clan Heavenly Pride shouted anxiously.

"Lord Ye Tong, stop!"

Seeing Ye Tong attack, he was breaking out in cold sweat.

While Ye Tong was strong, even stronger than Kasa, he was certain that Ye Tong was no match for Su Changqing!

If he attacked, not only would he fail to save anyone, but Ye Tong himself might be in danger.

"Hmm?"

Ye Tong frowned and looked over.

The Three-Eyed Clan Heavenly Pride quickly transmitted the details of the battle.

Ye Tong's pupils constricted as he reassessed Su Changqing.

He had thought the Myriad Clans Heavenly Pride had been defeated after a hard-fought battle, only to be trapped.

But it turned out that Su Changqing had defeated a thousand Myriad Clans Heavenly Prides in just two moves?

"Trade the Divine Metal for the captives. If you don't want to, I won't force you. You can take your clan members' bodies."

Su Changqing raised his eyes and spoke calmly.

"You—"

Seeing Su Changqing's assertiveness, Ye Tong's eyes burned with even more killing intent.

But he glanced at the trapped clan members and gritted his teeth, throwing out a thumb-sized piece of Divine Metal.

In his view, this amount of Divine Metal was enough to exchange for the captives.

"Ten people."

Su Changqing casually pocketed the Divine Metal and waved his sleeve, releasing the Three-Eyed Clan Heavenly Pride from the Myriad Clans.

"Just ten people?"

Ye Tong roared in anger. "That's Imperial Divine Metal, and you're only trading for ten Divine Law Realm cultivators?"

"You can choose not to trade."

"If you want to back out, I'll return the Divine Metal."

Su Changqing said nonchalantly.

Seeing Su Changqing's attitude, Ye Tong nearly gnashed his teeth.

But he had no choice. The scarcity of Myriad Clans clan members was more severe than he imagined.

Losing some Divine Metal was not a big deal, but losing clan members would be extremely difficult to replace.

"Fine!"

Ye Tong suppressed his anger and threw out another thumb-sized piece of Divine Metal.

Su Changqing released the remaining Three-Eyed Clan Heavenly Pride.

He looked at the Divine Metal in his hand, deep in thought.

He had expected that such a precious treasure would require much more persuasion.

But the representatives of the Myriad Clans were more forthcoming than he had anticipated.

"Seems like the Divine Metal Emperor, while valuable in Yuzhi, isn’t as scarce as on the Continent."

"Or perhaps the lives of these Myriad Clans members are more valuable than I thought."

Su Changqing made his calculations, maintaining a composed expression as he sat cross-legged, waiting for representatives from other races to arrive.

After exchanging his clansmen, Ye Tong did not leave. Instead, he stood there with a dark expression.

"Sir, are there any other powerful figures coming here?"

The Three-Eyed Clan’s Heavenly Pride asked telepathically.

"The Heavenly Clan, the Divine Clan, and it’s said that even the Ancient Clan’s representative will be here."

Ye Tong glanced at Su Changqing and said coldly, "They take the emergence of the Human Race very seriously."

"Since containment isn’t working, we’ll have to show the Human Race a lesson in other ways."

"For now, let him have the Divine Metal. Later, I’ll make him return it with interest!"

The Three-Eyed Clan members all looked excited at this.

The Heavenly Clan and the Divine Clan were among the top ten powerful races in the Myriad Clans.

The ones coming were prodigies cultivated by the Myriad Clans for years.

Not to mention, the sole existence of the Ancient Clan.

Su Changqing was strong, but once the Myriad Clans’ prodigies arrived, they would reclaim their dignity!

For a moment, the defeated group’s eyes lit up with renewed hope.

...

As time passed, powerful figures from various races began to arrive.

Faced with Su Changqing’s demands, they were angry but had no choice but to grit their teeth and hand over the Divine Metal.

The Divine Metal in Su Changqing’s hands grew, and the number of Myriad Clans members trapped decreased.

Meanwhile, the gathered Heavenly Prides of the Myriad Clans looked at Su Changqing with increasingly cold eyes.

"Almost enough."

After some time, Su Changqing calculated the amount of Divine Metal he had and smiled.

The Myriad Clans were wealthier than he had imagined.

He had not even rescued everyone, yet he had already achieved his goal.

However, he did not stop there. After all, the Heaven-Cleaving Axe was a voracious beast.

Even if he received another batch of Divine Metal, it would still be far from enough for his transformation.

After a long time, only a few Myriad Clans members remained trapped.

Su Changqing stood up, ready to send the Myriad Clans members away, but suddenly, a bright light appeared on the horizon.

He turned his gaze and saw a man walking slowly through the divine light.

Amidst the overwhelming radiance, his appearance was unclear, but his eyes, more brilliant than stars, revealed a natural arrogance and confidence.

Without a word, he raised his hand slightly, and golden patterns intertwined and converged in his palm.

Before long, a Thunder-Infused Golden Spear, shimmering with Heavenly Thunder, appeared in his hand.

"It’s Tianyu! The Son of the Heavenly Clan!"

Seeing the newcomer, the gathered Heavenly Prides of the Myriad Clans erupted in excitement.

The Heavenly Clan had only one Son per generation, and this one was born during a prosperous era, endowed with great fortune.

Legend had it that the will of the Heavenly Dao still lingered in the Heavenly Clan’s world, and Tianyu was the embodiment of this will, possessing incomprehensible power.

At this moment, Little Peng King, Chu Xi, and others looked at the approaching man with solemn expressions.

They could sense the terrifying aura emanating from him.

It was a terrifying pressure that made them shudder and feel a sense of mortal danger.

Su Changqing slowly stood up, his face calm as he gazed into the distance, focusing on the brilliant, indifferent eyes in the divine light.

"Slash!"

Suddenly, a faint voice echoed from the divine light.

Whoosh!

In an instant, a golden lightning bolt broke through the boundaries of time and space, appearing before Su Changqing.

It was a spear formed entirely of golden Celestial Runes, its body shimmering with lightning, and a terrifying battle intent instantly shattered the surrounding void.

A massive Dao diagram appeared beneath Su Changqing’s feet, and his eyes glowed with the yin-yang cycle.

As the spear shot towards him, he lightly stepped down, and within a radius of three thousand feet, time and space instantly froze.

Buzz!

The spear trembled violently, as if trying to shatter the frozen time and space.

However, under the suppression of the Dao diagram, the spear could not advance, stopping just half a meter from Su Changqing.

"Nice technique."

Su Changqing’s calm voice echoed.

He slowly extended his hand and grasped the spear.

Boom!

A terrifying golden Heavenly Thunder instantly enveloped Su Changqing.

But he seemed oblivious, holding the spear and looking at the man in the divine light.

"Got it!"

Boom!

In an instant, Su Changqing’s body was engulfed in a raging Life Fire, and boundless, terrifying power surged from within him.

At the point where he held the spear, it groaned under the strain, and cracks began to spread, as if it could not withstand the power.

Su Changqing raised his arm and, as if casually, threw the spear back.

Boom!

As the spear flew, a fierce crack appeared in the sky, extending all the way to the man in the divine light.

Tianyu’s eyes showed determination as he extended his hand and caught the speeding spear.

The terrifying power instantly exploded, and the divine light boiled.

Tianyu’s clothes flapped in the wind as he struggled to hold the spear, taking a heavy step back after a moment.

Boom!

With this step, the power within him unleashed, and the surrounding void within a thousand feet exploded.

The Heavenly Prides of the Myriad Clans were all stunned.

Clearly, in this initial clash, Tianyu of the Heavenly Clan was at a disadvantage.

"Hmph!"

At this moment, the sky above the divine light was torn apart, and a tall, armored figure stepped out.

"Divine Clan, Jiuxiao!"

Seeing the tall figure, someone in the Myriad Clans exclaimed in surprise.

Jiuxiao of the Divine Clan was a natural warrior, with bloodline surpassing his ancestors and possessing boundless divine power.

"Battle!"

The tall, armored figure roared, shattering the sky and punching towards Su Changqing.

"Good timing!"

Seeing the Myriad Clans’ prodigies arriving one by one, Su Changqing’s eyes gradually filled with intense battle intent.

He too stepped into the sky and punched out without any flair.

In an instant, the two unguarded, purely physical punches collided.

Boom!

A massive shockwave spread from their bodies, the void rippling like water, continuously fracturing.

The result of this punch was that both Su Changqing and Jiuxiao of the Divine Clan took a step back.

They both raised their eyebrows, looking at each other in surprise.

Neither had expected the other’s strength to be so formidable.

The Myriad Clans’ powerful figures, seeing this, were all shocked.

The Divine Clan was famous for their unparalleled physical prowess, their perfect bodies and immense strength rivaling those of divine dragons.

And Jiuxiao had transcended the limits of his bloodline, evolving further.

Yet, he was only able to match Su Changqing in strength?

"How is that possible?"

"How could the Human Race be so strong?"

The Myriad Clans’ Heavenly Prides all looked at Su Changqing in disbelief.

"He’s very strong."

"Indeed, I have no confidence in defeating him."

Jiuxiao and Tianyu stood together, their oppressive, calm eyes fixed on the young man before them.

"Shall we fight together?"

Su Changqing stretched his limbs, looking at the two men before him, his eyes brimming with boundless battle intent.

But before they could answer, the spiritual energy of the heavens suddenly surged.

Endless spiritual energy gathered in the sky, and a massive, ethereal face appeared, sweeping over everyone below.

"Human Race."

A vast voice echoed, its indifferent gaze looking down on them like they were mere ants.

Seeing the newcomer, even Tianyu and Jiuxiao bowed slightly, clasping their hands in respect.

"I have trapped a group of Fiends, and I cannot come here myself."

"Return the Divine Metal, and we will consider this matter closed."

The ethereal face in the sky looked at Su Changqing and spoke slowly.

The words were not heavy, nor were they threatening, but they carried an air of superiority, as if giving an order.

Su Changqing raised an eyebrow, "What if I say no?"

"Then you die!"

The ethereal face frowned, as if the heavens were enraged, and a massive pressure descended.

Su Changqing smiled, saying nothing more.

But a powerful aura, like a rising wolf smoke, surged from his body.

Tianyu, Jiuxiao, and the Myriad Clans’ Heavenly Prides present all turned cold, and the atmosphere became tense.

Little Peng King, Chu Xi, and others stepped forward almost simultaneously, standing behind Su Changqing.

A great battle was about to begin.

But at that moment, an angry, feminine voice echoed through the heavens!

"How dare you bully Changqing!"

"Looking for a beating!"
