Five Protector Sects
"You brat from the Eastern Xuan Region, just you wait! The Death Generals and esteemed elders of my Ghost King Sect will not let you go! We are locked in a life-or-death struggle!!!"
On the verge of death, Liu Cheng and Hu Shuo let out a sinister laugh as their bodies exploded, the blood mist transforming into two eerie streaks of Blood Mist that entered Lin Dong's body.
Liu Cheng and Hu Shuo, Peak Four Yuan Nirvana Stage, are dead!
"Hahahaha, we curse you, we curse you..."
Deep within the raging inferno, two unusually venomous voices echoed faintly.
"Hmm, is this the Curse Power? Used to constantly erode my body and to pinpoint the strength of the opposing sect?"
Lin Dong raised an eyebrow upon seeing this, casually rolled up his sleeve, and saw two clear lines of blood appearing on his fair wrist, filled with an ominous and deathly aura.
"The dying blows of two Peak Four Yuan Nirvana Stage are terrifyingly pure in energy; we can't let them go to waste like this."
A faint Devouring Power spread out, transforming into a ferocious giant maw that lunged menacingly at the wrist, quickly wiping away the two strange blood lines.
At the same time, a terrifying energy appeared out of nowhere deep within Lin Dong's dantian, surging wildly into the perfectly round and smooth golden Origin Pill, instantly pushing his Origin Energy cultivation from the Three Yuan Nirvana Stage to the Peak Three Yuan Nirvana Stage.
"What a wonderful person! What kind of spirit is this?!"
Lin Dong's aura suddenly intensified, and his eyes instantly became incredibly moist.
"Tsk, if those two dead ghosts who just collapsed saw this scene, would they be so angry that they'd crawl out of the depths of Underworld Prison again?"
The Little Marten clicked its tongue in amazement as it looked at Lin Dong, who was making a small breakthrough. After thinking for a moment, it warned, "Just like the Eastern Xuan Region has Eight Great Super Sects, the Western Xuan Region also has Seven Great Sects. The Ghost King Sect, the Super Sect to which these two belong, is ranked second only to the Western Xuan Region's overlord, the Western Xuan Sect."
"The Ghost King Sect is also a rather troublesome Super Sect. You'd better be careful in the future. They might cause trouble in the Ancient Battlefield and we might meet again."
"Hmph, those good-for-nothings don't even know who did it, what can they do to me? Let's go, let's break through this great formation in one go."
Lin Dong his head, and in a flash, he disappeared from the spot.
After the raging inferno, there was a vast, dark gray space.
Nine Heavens above, one after another, enormous Floating Island hovered in mid-air, connected to each other, vaguely forming a vast Sect Ruins. From time to time, figures with extraordinary auras could be seen quickly moving among them.
"This huge floating continent can be vaguely divided into five parts. It seems that the top five Protector Sect in the Heavenly Gang Alliance are all here. The Four Mysterious Sect should be firmly protected by them in the center."
"Furthermore, the Four Mysterious Sect will only emerge once the ruins of the Five Protector Sects are fully opened. However, many powerful figures from various dynasties have already arrived here, so we must hurry and only explore the top three sects: the Earth Martial Sect, the Eight Extremes Sect, and the Great Yuan Sect."
Lin Dong glanced at the floating building complex in the distance.
"Big brother, I'll go to the number one ranked Earth Martial Sect."
"Okay, then I'll go to the Eight Extremes Sect. Be quick, we'll meet here later."
Lin Dong and Little Flame made some simple arrangements and then parted ways.
The core area of the Eight Extremes Sect ruins.
A colossal ancient plaza, like a ferocious beast, lay silently in the void. Around the plaza, thick stone pillars rose from the ground, each covered with deep fist marks.
This place appears to be the training ground for the disciples of the Eight Extremes Sect.
A large number of powerful individuals gathered at the edge of the plaza, but they seemed to be afraid of something, and none of them dared to step forward. Instead, they traversed the open space and entered the Central Great Hall.
Lin Dong's arrival immediately attracted the attention of three powerful groups. His formidable reputation, established in the Ancient Hall outside the Ancient Secret Treasure, made it impossible for him to keep a low profile.
"I, Mu Sha of the Sha Dynasty / Song Duan of the Great Song Dynasty / Peng Fei of the Great Peng Dynasty, greet Lord Lin Dong."
Soon, three figures with auras at the Two Yuan Nirvana Stage broke away from the crowd and flew over together.
"Hmm, what's going on here?"
Lin Dong gave a faint "hmm" and gestured with his chin towards the vast open space in front of him.
"It seems that a terrifying Demonic Beast is lurking beneath this plaza. We do not yet know its exact strength, so we dare not approach rashly."
The man in yellow at the center of the three, Mu Sha, the leader of the Sha Dynasty, said this.
"I think you don't want to join forces, you're afraid the other side will get the benefits first."
Lin Dong glanced at the three of them with a half-smile. The lurking Primeval Demonic Dragon Hound was indeed powerful, but it was still an inanimate object. How could it possibly withstand the combined attack of everyone present?
"Cough cough..."
Mu Sha and the other two gave awkward smiles, their faces showing embarrassment.
"Stop guessing, that's the guardian beast of the Eight Extremes Sect, the Primeval Demonic Dragon Hound. It was a terrifying demonic Demonic Beast that stepped into the Life and Death Mysterious Stage in its lifetime. However, it is now long dead and only a little bit of Remnant Spirit in its body is causing trouble. Its strength has dropped drastically, and it is at most comparable to the Peak Three Yuan Nirvana Stage."
"It happens to contain a trace of pure Dragon Bloodline. My third brother has always enjoyed devouring the blood of powerful demons. I plan to take it and give it to him to try. You all step back and let me handle this."
Lin Dong waved his hand and flew forward.
"At most comparable to the Peak Three Yuan Nirvana Stage? You make it sound so easy. You think you can do it... uh? You actually do it? Impressive, impressive!"
After a rapid change in expression, Mu Sha and his two companions quickly led their dynasty's forces to retreat, preparing to witness the prowess of this peerless villain.
"Call out!"
Just as Lin Dong approached within a hundred feet of the Central Great Hall of the plaza, the open ground below suddenly surged, and an exceptionally large gray shadow shot out from the ground like lightning, heading straight for his main body.
"Hahaha, I've been waiting for you here all along! Great Sun Thunder Body!"
Amidst the boundless laughter, a sun suddenly appeared in the sky.
The sun, so bright it was impossible to look directly at, hung alone in the Nine Heavens. After a period of rapid contraction, it suddenly burst forth with extremely dazzling and dense golden light. As the golden light surged rapidly, it condensed directly into an incredibly thick golden pillar of light that crashed down.
"Roar!!!"
A golden beam of light, faintly imbued with the power of thunder, struck the massive gray shadow that was attacking, immediately eliciting a shrill roar.
The mysterious gray shadow fell to the ground, and only then could everyone see the appearance of the attacking Demonic Beast.
It was a ferocious Demonic Beast that was a hundred feet long, with the body of a dog and the head of a dragon. Its eyes were empty, and its body was grayish-white. The surface of its body was covered with a thick layer of gray bone armor, on which strange patterns and eerie death aura spread.
Ancient Variant Species, Primeval Demonic Dragon Hound!
"Roar roar roar!"
The Primeval Demonic Dragon Hound, knocked to the ground by Lin Dong's attack, stood on the broken rocks, its mouth wide open, revealing two rows of extremely sharp and ferocious fangs, its empty eyes fixed on the tiny figure in mid-air.
