Instantly, a strong and demonic wave emanated through the scene...
Qixia Mountain.
Su Yuan raised an eyebrow slightly, took back his gaze, and looked at Ma Liang’s corpse lying on the ground.
"So, this was merely a stronger avatar?"
Since the Netherworld is still under someone’s control, Ma Liang surely wasn’t dead.
What died was merely an Avatar created through Life Soul Divine Water and the power of the Netherworld Sect, comparable to a True Man!
Only its strength, freedom, and authenticity were nearly indistinguishable!
Su Yuan pondered briefly, then suddenly thought of something and turned his hand to take out Ma Liang’s ring.
Upon inspecting it, even Su Yuan couldn’t help but feel a bit delighted.
"Heh... Ma Liang has indeed brought me some good stuff!"
Su Yuan looked at the two pseudo-saint artifacts, Yin Yang Flowing Light, in the ring and couldn’t help but smile at the corners of his mouth. The displeasure from Ma Liang’s escape immediately vanished.
"To exchange the soul of a Nine Infants for this treasure is not a loss at all."
Pseudo-saint artifacts are treasures made of fifth-level materials that contain certain laws or great power.
As for sealing sacred artifacts, they are treasures used by Burning Sun after sealing a true legendary holy artifact.
Because it’s difficult for Burning Sun to fully harness the power of holy artifacts, carelessness might lead to being countered or drained by the holy artifact, necessitating a limitation of its power.
Thus, sealing sacred artifacts are rare, as holy artifacts are extremely precious even to King Level cultivators and are usually not sealed just to give to others.
For Burning Sun level, the upper limit of power of sealing sacred artifacts is certainly higher than that of pseudo-saint artifacts.
However, regarding practicality, it’s hard to say which is superior.
Nonetheless, sealing sacred artifacts are a hot potato when seen in the hands of a King Level, who will definitely find a way to retrieve them.
Conversely, with pseudo-saint artifacts, unless one actively goes looking for trouble, they are unlikely to be specifically hunted by King Level cultivators.
Su Yuan examined the ring further, thoroughly understanding what Ma Liang had done before leaving.
"Ma Liang, indeed worthy of being the evil cultivator who drowned a hundred thousand civilians, truly ruthless, having slaughtered everyone in the Limitless Demon Sect..."
After probing with his spiritual power, Su Yuan put away the ring, as there were still others observing around, so he didn’t take out the Yin Yang Flowing Light.
A flash of silver light appeared on his body, and Su Yuan returned to the Dragon Vein.
The war chariot and priestess had put away their True Form Release, but at the moment the aura of both was significantly weakened.
The burden of using True Form Release is substantial; even for the war chariot and priestess, consecutive use was overwhelming.
"However, worthy of being the Truth Knight, these two Sky Blue Refinement forms combined make single opponents unmatched."
Su Yuan drew out Glazed Tianqing and swung the sword to strike the war chariot, vitality surged, rapidly healing the wounds inflicted by the Netherworld Dead Soldiers.
Subsequently, Su Yuan sat cross-legged again, looking toward Mu Kexian nearby at a distance.
"Friend Mu, thank you."
Su Yuan expressed his gratitude, as it was Mu Kexian’s kind reminder of Ma Liang’s approach.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to respond in time and catch Ma Liang off guard.
Yet Mu Kexian only slightly shook her head, quietly watching Su Yuan without saying much.
Despite the surface calmness, the undisguised intense gaze was somewhat overwhelming for Su Yuan, making him turn away.
Meanwhile, Su Yuan also sensed a hidden, yet hostile gaze from afar.
Su Yuan had already spotted the person hidden in the shadows; it was none other than Nie Wu from Taishang Sect.
"Friend Mu, your senior brother seems to still be waiting for you over there," Su Yuan said.
Mu Kexian replied, "He is him, I am me; I can’t control what he wants to do, and I won’t be interfered with in my own actions."
"...Alright."
Time flowed continuously, and after a long interval.
Su Yuan could feel that the gradually released powerful aura from Fu Chaosheng was reaching a new extreme.
And at that moment, a tremor occurred within the Dragon Vein, and the powerful aura suddenly retracted.
"It seems to have reached the Three Suns Peak!"
Su Yuan’s eyes lit up, immediately turning his head to look into the Dragon Vein.
Three Suns Peak means the most dangerous stage has passed.
This protection duty turned out to be lighter than expected, aside from Da Xiong at the beginning and Ma Liang afterward, no other opponents appeared.
Suddenly, Fu Chaosheng’s voice transmission sounded in Su Yuan’s ear.
"Friend Su, the Three Suns Peak has been achieved; thank you for protecting me!
I will now continue to nurture the origin; please continue to protect me for a while.
Once successful, I will gather the Dragon Vein Residue and fully assist you in advancing to Three Suns."
Su Yuan nodded toward the Dragon Vein from afar, indicating his understanding.
Soon, the Dragon Vein once again fell silent.
Su Yuan turned around and glanced at Jiang Lan resting alone in the distance, took a step out, and with a spatial contraction, appeared before her.
Before Su Yuan could speak, Jiang Lan pouted, saying, "The Third Rank even has a beauty accompanying him while guarding the Dragon Vein; how delightful~"
Su Yuan shook his head and chuckled, "Don’t tease me, that fairy is not easy to deal with."
Jiang Lan glanced at Mu Kexian again, secretly admiring her serene beauty, then looked toward the distant Dragon Vein with a solemn expression.
"It seems that Fu Chaosheng of the Ten Thousand Sword Divine Sect has reached the Three Suns Peak?"
Su Yuan nodded, "Next is the Three Suns Opening, originating, comprehending laws until breaking through to the King Level, not knowing how long it will take, you should leave first."
Jiang Lan nodded, "Alright, if time runs short, I will leave first and inform ’home’ of your situation."
Su Yuan said, "Mm, be careful on the way, if you encounter danger, use the talisman to notify me, I will think of a way."
"You should guard Fu Chaosheng well."
Jiang Lan waved and then soared away toward the sky edge.
Su Yuan watched her leave, then returned to his place, glancing at the Dragon Vein before continuing to wait...
