Dan Hall and Dan Beasts

What a scam!

When Hun Tianchen saw that, aside from the Hun Clan's Luck Force, all the other Luck Force had been drained dry, he nearly spat blood.

The reason he had been able to break through to a Three-Star Dou Venerate this time was that he had enough Luck Force, along with the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit and the residual power left behind by the ancestral souls of the Ancient Heaven Phoenix and Ancient Void Dragon. Those had allowed him to break through directly to a Three-Star Dou Venerate, increasing his strength by more than fivefold.

Perhaps it was precisely because this breakthrough had been aided by external power that it consumed three times more Luck Force than before!

Three times! How much Luck Force did Hun Tianchen have to begin with? This had drained him completely.

Not a single drop remained.

Had it not been drained dry, Hun Tianchen might have faced the risk of a failed breakthrough.

With the enhancement of Luck Force, he would become luckier.

But that luck was only temporary. He needed to plunder other people's Luck Force.

And now, aside from the Luck Force of the Hun Clan, all his other Luck Force had dropped to zero.

All the Luck Force he had plundered before had been completely used up.

"This is way too screwed up. Even if it kills me, I won't use external power to break through again."

At that moment, he envied Xiao Yan immensely. Opportunities fell onto that guy like they were free, yet he could break through safely and successfully without any side effects.

The difference between him and Xiao Yan was that one had impossibly good luck, while the other had catastrophically bad luck.

Though he complained endlessly inwardly and was filled with regret, Hun Tianchen remained utterly calm on the surface, as if nothing had happened.

He strolled over to Queen Medusa and thanked her. "Thank you for standing guard, Your Majesty."

"I did nothing. Your commotion was simply too great and attracted quite a few people," Queen Medusa said blandly, glancing at the crowd of onlookers around them.

Hun Tianchen's Heterochromatic Eyes swept across the densely packed crowd. With only a cold snort, the Soul Dragon appeared around him and, in the span of a breath, plundered all the Luck Force from everyone nearby.

"What's with that dragon? Why do I feel like, the moment it opened its mouth, something important was sucked out of me?"

"You feel it too? So do I! What's going on?"

"No idea. Should we go over and ask him?"

"If you want to ask, you go. That guy in white is the Young Master of the ancient Hun Clan. He's known for being cruel and decisive in killing. If we ask him, won't we just get killed?"

"True... Forget it. Let's go. There aren't any treasures here anyway."

Amid the crowd's chatter, they gradually dispersed, unaware that the Luck Force on their bodies had already fallen to zero, all of it seized by Hun Tianchen.

Yet the combined Luck Force of all those people was not even one percent of the Luck Force Hun Tianchen possessed before his breakthrough.

"They're all ordinary people. They won't have much Luck Force on them," Hun Tianchen sighed regretfully.

If he wanted to absorb Luck Force, it would be better to seek out those blessed with immense fortune.

However, if he wanted Luck Force as quickly as possible, he would have to wait for Ling Xiu to return to the Ling Clan. Then he could slowly make his move and absorb all the Ling Clan's Luck Force.

The Luck Force of an entire race would be enough for him to break through to a Six-Star Dou Venerate.

Still, Six-Star Dou Venerate was a conservative estimate. It would be a blessing if it could last him until he broke through to a Five-Star Dou Venerate.

"You've grown much stronger." Queen Medusa stared gravely at Hun Tianchen, his white robes fluttering around him.

Although the gap between each star level of a Dou Venerate was vast, and every breakthrough increased one's strength immensely, a Two-Star Dou Venerate breaking through to a Three-Star Dou Venerate should not have gained strength as absurdly as Hun Tianchen had.

"That's called quality," Hun Tianchen said with a mysterious smile, sensing the strength of his body.

The effects of consuming the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit were even better than he had imagined.

The Soul Dragon and his physique had received the greatest improvements.

Now, he could fight three versions of his former Two-Star Dou Venerate self.

Just as he had stabilized his cultivation, a figure suddenly flickered rapidly toward him from ahead and swiftly arrived before him.

Hun Tianchen raised a hand, stopping Queen Medusa as she lifted hers to attack, then looked at the figure before him. "Hun Ya? Why are you here? Where are the others?"

"Brother Tianchen." Hun Ya looked anxious as he hurriedly said, "Brother Tianchen, come quickly! Hun Yu and the others can't hold on any longer!"

"Lead the way. Tell me what happened as we go." Hun Tianchen glanced at Queen Medusa, signaling for her to follow, then closely trailed behind Hun Ya.

"It's in the Medicine Hall ahead. We went there because of the ancient medicinal pills, and when we arrived, we found quite a few ancient medicinal pills. Dan Beasts even appeared among them." Hun Ya spoke urgently as he moved at high speed. "When we saw the Dan Beasts, we wanted to take them, but after the other Ancient Races saw that Brother Tianchen wasn't there, they used the opportunity to snatch the Dan Beasts we had worked so hard to obtain. Several teams are surrounding and attacking our Hun Clan now. They have too many Dou Venerates, and there are many members of the younger generation as well. We can't fight them all by ourselves."

"Those bastards..." Hun Tianchen's face darkened. They actually dared to bully his clansmen, especially while he was still inside these Ancient Ruins.

Were they not courting death?

Hun Tianchen grabbed Hun Ya's body with one hand and rushed forward at a speed nearly as fast as light.

"Show me the way."

"It's outside the forest." Hun Ya pointed ahead, guiding Hun Tianchen.

Bang!

In an instant, a dull boom rang out. Hun Tianchen turned into lightning with Hun Ya in tow and left the forest within a few breaths.

Queen Medusa, who had been beside Hun Tianchen just moments ago, stared in stunned disbelief.

This guy's strength... had already far surpassed hers.

If he had still been slightly weaker than Queen Medusa as a Two-Star Dou Venerate, things were different now.

Queen Medusa could only use her full speed to quickly catch up.

After several breaths, they followed the path they had taken before and returned to the Stone Door through which they had first entered this place.

"Where?" Hun Tianchen demanded domineeringly. Seeing Hun Ya point ahead, he once again turned into lightning and shot after the direction indicated.

But the Stone Door before them blocked the way. Hun Tianchen had no time to move it aside, so he blasted it with a single palm strike, shattering it before swiftly entering the wide corridor.

"Keep going inside and we'll be there."

Following Hun Ya's guidance, Hun Tianchen caught a rather familiar scent.

It truly was the smell of medicinal pills.

Charging forward all the way, Hun Tianchen brought Hun Ya to an ancient-looking hall. Above its entrance were two large characters written in a bold, dragon-like script.

"Dan Hall!"

Hun Tianchen raised an eyebrow slightly as Queen Medusa finally caught up from behind.

"You... you're way too fast, aren't you?"

Hearing Queen Medusa's panting, Hun Tianchen expressionlessly led Hun Ya into the grand hall.
