Chapter 3820: Essence of the Five Organs
The Warring Old Freak was dazed by that sight inside the high quality god artifact. He was filled with both shock and amazement. He murmured, “The Illusionary Ancestor is far too powerful. Although this secondary body of hers is a Seventh Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt, her actual battle prowess is probably even beyond some regular Eighth Heavenly Layer experts.”
“However, a major reason for why the Illusionary Ancestor is so powerful is due to her bloodline. After all, that’s the bloodline of a Grand Exalt. She possesses a natural advantage.”
At this moment, Jian Chen thought of something. He became slightly stern and said, “Senior Warring, I heard the Master of Profound Secrets mention earlier that the ancient pill he’s refining is prepared for the crown prince. May I ask who the crown prince is?”
The Warring Old Freak glanced at Jian Chen in a bizarre banner and said, “Don’t tell me you don’t even know about this? Of the entire Waymight clan, there is only one person who possesses the title of crown prince.”
“That would be Daowei Chengqing!”
When he mentioned that name, the Warring Old Freak’s expression immediately became mixed. “Daowei Chengqing is a legend of the Immortals’ World. He’s the only person who’s managed to return from the Hole of Reincarnation across all these years. He’s also the only person who managed to nurture all of his attendants into Immortal Exalts in just a short hundred thousand years.”
“The reason why the elder princess of the Heavenly Palace of Great Radiance could become so powerful is also connected to the crown prince of the Waymight clan.”
“And the Grand Exalt of the Waymight clan…” The Warring Old Freak did not continue, seemingly having qualms. He refused to discuss matters regarding the Grand Exalts so carelessly.A hint of coldness appeared in Jian Chen’s eyes. He recalled how he had encountered Daowei Chengqing back then in the sacred land of the Observance Heaven City.
At the time, Daowei Chengqing was out to harm him.
“Senior Warring, what kind of relationship exists between crown prince Daowei Chengqing and the Illusionary Ancestor?” Jian Chen suppressed his feelings and asked.
“He’s the Illusionary Ancestor’s descendant, countless generations apart. He’s also the descendant that the Illusionary Ancestor spoils and loves the most,” said the Warring Old Freak.
“In other words, the Illusionary Ancestor is Daowei Chengqing’s great grandmother? With a relationship like that, that’s even more reason why I can’t accept the Illusionary Ancestor’s talisman.” Jian Chen’s heart weighed heavily. The Illusionary Ancestor originated from the Waymight clan, so he had always been very cautious of her.
He was so cautious that he did not even have the courage to place the talisman that the Illusionary Ancestor gave him inside the Primeval Divine Hall, afraid that she could discreetly spy on him through the talisman.
After all, the Illusionary Ancestor’s cultivation was far too high. Her methods were exceptional. He had to guard against her.
In the space outside, the Starflame Demon Lion had already been firmly bound by the criss-crossing chains of order. Apart from letting out furious roars, it was capable of nothing more.
The Master of Profound Secrets, the Jade Lotus Master, the Rushing Lightning Immortal Exalt, the Blood Butcher Immortal Exalt, and the Ancient Virtue Immortal Exalt were already standing on the Starflame Demon Lion. They happened to be located at the Starflame Demon Lion’s heart.
“The essence of the five organs cannot be collected recklessly. We need to follow a specific order. The heart comes first,” said the Master of Profound Secrets. With a wave of his hand, a pill cauldron immediately appeared. Then it expanded to three hundred metres across and floated over the Master of Profound Secrets’ head, radiating with the pressure of a high quality god artifact.
“Let’s begin, everyone!” The Master of Profound Secrets formed a seal, and the cauldron over his head immediately turned upside down, facing the Starflame Demon Lion’s heart.
The Jade Lotus Master, the Rushing Lightning Immortal Exalt, the Blood Butcher Immortal Exalt, and the Ancient Virtue Immortal Exalt stopped hesitating. Their presences as Fifth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalts erupted. They all wielded high quality god artifacts that they swung towards the Starflame Demon Lion’s heart.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Immediately, several deafening rumbles erupted. The powerful shockwave turned into a violent storm of energy that swept through the surrounding sea of stars.
However, the four of them were stunned very soon. The area that they attacked together was unscathed. The Starflame Demon Lion had not suffered any damage.
“Why is this animal’s hide so thick? Even with our strength, we’ve failed to harm it.” The Blood Butcher Immortal Exalt cried out as if he was deeply impacted. After all, he was known as the greatest expert on the Ease Nurturing Heaven.
“No, it’s not because its hide is thick, but because this animal has been rendered helpless by the Illusionary Ancestor. It has concentrated all of its energy on its defences. Our attack just now failed to penetrate its protective energy,” the Master of Profound Secrets said sternly.
At this moment, everyone discovered that extremely powerful energy circulated beneath the Starflame Demon Lion’s hide. This energy merged perfectly with its body, which immediately made it extremely tough. It was basically indestructible to Fifth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalts.
Perhaps only Sixth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalts were capable of harming the Starflame Demon Lion.
The faces of the Jade Lotus Master, the Rushing Lightning Immortal Exalt, the Blood Butcher Immortal Exalt, and the Ancient Virtue Immortal Exalt all became ugly. The Starflame Demon Lion was actually even more troublesome than they had imagined.
“Please assist us, Illusionary Ancestor!” With no other choice, the Master of Profound Secrets could only seek help from the Illusionary Ancestor.
Above the Starflame Demon Lion’s head, the Illusionary Ancestor seemed like a queen of spiders. Chains extended out from around her, where part of them served as restraints, trapping the Starflame Demon Lion’s body, while the others served as sharp spears, penetrating various critical points of the Starflame Demon Lion’s body and limiting its movements.
When she heard the Master of Profound Secrets’ call for help, the Illusionary Ancestor immediately looked over. With a gesture of her finger, the laws immediately manifested in the space there, condensing into a colossal spear three hundred metres long. It turned into a bolt of lightning that plunged viciously into the Starflame Demon Lion’s heart.
Boom! With a heavy bang, the Starflame Demon Lion’s flesh ruptured, turning into a huge, bloody hole. It was three thousand metres across and several tens of thousand metres deep, leading straight into its body.
However, with the Starflame Demon Lion’s colossal body, this injury was even smaller than a finger-sized hole on an adult.
The four Fifth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalts could not harm it at all even after combining their strength, yet it seemed utterly fragile before the Illusionary Ancestor, unable to withstand a single blow.
The Master of Profound Secrets and the four other experts arrived at the edge of the bloody hole. As they stood there, they could clearly see a colossal heart at the bottom of the pit, beating away forcefully.
With each beat, it would produce a thunderous tremor that could pierce everything.
However, they still could not see the entirety of the Starflame Demon Lion’s heart in the hole. It only exposed a part of it.
The Master of Profound Secrets did not hesitate at all. He formed seals with both hands, and the giant cauldron over his head immediately shone with dazzling light. A great suction force appeared, planning on devouring the essence of the Starflame Demon Lion’s five organs.
Under the terrifying suction force, it took around a minute before he drew out a single feeble strand of essence of the five organs, sealing it away inside the cauldron.
“Just as I had expected, it’s extremely difficult to collect the essence of the five organs from the Starflame Demon Lion. Everyone, assemble the formation,” the Master of Profound Secrets said with a growl.
