A Huge Divine Crystal
"Through various connections and resources, I found this crystal in an extremely remote part of the Demon Domain. However, the situation there is a bit special."
Liu Xiyue explained the situation over there in detail.
"How big is it?" Lu Qing'an asked directly.
"Strictly speaking, there should be three pieces! If nothing unexpected happens, two small ones and one large one! The large one is about the size of a head!"
As he said this, Liu Xiyue's eyes burned with intensity, a glint of heat flashing within them.
When he saw the crystal, which was the size of a head, his mind went blank.
A crystal the size of a mung bean had already brought about such a great change in his Time-Reversing Demon Willow; the crystal inside the iron ball was probably only the size of a pigeon egg, yet it had also given him such a significant boost.
If he manages to get his hands on that entire crystal the size of a human head, he will definitely be stronger than Lu Qing'an!
However, given his current strength, even if he mobilized many powerful individuals to help him, they still couldn't get close.
Now that Lu Qing'an also knows about this thing, he will use Lu Qing'an's power to obtain the crystal.
It's likely that in the entire Demon Domain, only Lu Qing'an has the ability to obtain that crystal.
He wasn't worried that Lu Qing'an wouldn't get the crystal; his only fear was that once Lu Qing'an got it, he wouldn't share it with him.
This is a gamble.
Since he couldn't get it himself anyway, he gambled that Lu Qing'an would keep his promise and share some with him after obtaining the crystal.
It's good that he can become the second strongest in this Demon Domain.
It's better than cultivating for so many years without making any breakthroughs.
After hearing Liu Xiyue's description, Lu Qing'an's expression changed.
There were three pieces in total, one of which was even the size of a human head?!
If used properly, wouldn't it also greatly improve Xue Tianfei and the others?
Lu Qing'an said, "Alright, just take us there."
"Okay, but before we set off, I hope you can promise me again that you'll share some of this crystal with me after we get it." Liu Xiyue stood up and gave Lu Qing'an a serious look before leaving.
Lu Qing'an: "Don't worry, I'll divide the spoils among you based on how difficult it is to obtain. If it's not difficult, I'll give you half."
"Okay!" Liu Xiyue's eyes lit up.
He doesn't even need half; a fifth would be enough to make him happy for thousands of years!
Just tell me the direction and distance.
Lu Qing'an was too lazy to let Liu Xiyue lead the way.
Liu Xiyue gave a location and its approximate distance from here.
Lu Qing'an shattered the void with his martial arts and led the others into it.
Fifteen minutes later, Lu Qing'an followed Liu Xiyue to a remote mountain range.
This is the eastern part of the Demon Domain Realm.
The amount of Demonic Qi in the air here is extremely thin, and almost no major sects or forces have established their presence here.
Only a few small factions would establish sects in these places.
Liu Xiyue led Lu Qing'an to a valley below. "Right below, I've set up an array here."
Lu Qing'an had already sensed an array in the valley below.
This formation is an illusion; even Peak Great Emperor Realm expert passing by might not notice anything amiss below.
They landed in the valley, the formation activated, and a large crater appeared in their view.
As they entered the formation, the group came into the view of Lu Qing'an and his companions.
There were actually dozens of the Great Emperor Realm experts guarding this place.
There are five Peak Great Emperor Realm experts, and the rest are from the Early Great Emperor Realm to the Late Great Emperor Realm.
These people were all invited by Liu Xiyue.
They have tried many times to seize the crystals inside the pit, but the results have been disastrous!
"It's the Eternal Night Demon Emperor!!"
When the group saw Lu Qing'an arrive, they all exclaimed in surprise.
When they looked at Lu Qing'an, their faces showed both awe and a hint of excitement.
It seems I've been trying to figure this out for a long time, experiencing countless disappointments, but finally I see a glimmer of hope.
After greeting the people there, Liu Xiyue walked up to a familiar Peak Great Emperor Realm expert and asked, "How's the situation inside?"
"The Divergent Flame is still inside, but we still haven't figured out what that dark figure is. Everything seems normal." The Peak Great Emperor Realm expert quickly bowed to Lu Qing'an, then swiftly answered Liu Xiyue's question.
Liu Xiyue nodded and turned to look at Lu Qing'an.
"There are two main obstacles preventing us from obtaining that crystal. One is a Earth Soul Flame, which has already transformed into an ominous level of Five Elements Divergent Flame. The other is a strange creature that is even stronger and we still haven't been able to see it clearly! It is extremely fast and has already toyed with and killed many of our companions!"
"Oh? There's also the Earth Soul Flame? And it's transformed into Ominous Living Being?"
Lu Qing'an was surprised by this unexpected joy.
It seems that of the so-called three Divine Crystal, one of the two smaller pieces was absorbed by the Earth Soul Flame and transformed into Ominous Living Being.
The other small piece was absorbed by something special, becoming stronger; the Divine Crystal might even be larger.
"Yes, that Earth Soul Flame wasn't particularly strong, probably around my current cultivation level, which I could handle. The most difficult thing was something else entirely; I couldn't even see it clearly. If I hadn't reacted quickly and retreated, I probably would have been stuck inside too!"
Liu Xiyue took a deep breath, still feeling a little palpitated.
These two things seem to be guarding that huge crystal!
So he had no other choice but to seek help from Lu Qing'an.
Otherwise, you'll never get these crystals in your entire life.
Lu Qing'an said, "That's right, you all stay here and keep watch, I'll go in and take a look."
This was indeed a pleasant surprise for him.
After obtaining this Earth Soul Flame, it can be refined by my goddaughter Sun Minzi, to enhance her strength.
"Okay! But I'm warning you, that thing is extremely fast, and we haven't yet ascertained its strength, so you should be careful," Liu Xiyue said.
"Don't worry, nothing on this Cangyun Continent can harm me."
Lu Qing'an patted Liu Xiyue on the shoulder, then turned to Xue Tianfei and Xiao Qingyi: "Take care of yourselves."
The two nodded.
Then, Lu Qing'an flew directly into the pit.
The entrance to this pit is not large, only enough for two people to enter, but once you go a certain distance in, the inside suddenly becomes extremely spacious.
It looks like a huge cavern that was intentionally dug out, about the size of several football fields.
Upon entering the cave, Lu Qing'an made no other move, stopped, hovered in the air, and stared intently at the deepest part of the cave.
At that moment, two things came into his view.
A Divergent Flame.
And a Divine Crystal exactly as Liu Xiyue described!
Lu Qing'an's lips curled up. "It is indeed quite a large piece; we can study it properly later."
