Chapter 617: 526 Melting Gold Divine Skill_1

The black sound wave struck the white light shield as if a stone had smashed into a bubble, instantly causing the light shield to collapse.

Shen Long let out a skyward howl, spewing forth a yellow sound wave to meet it.

The yellow sound wave collided with the black sound wave, annihilating each other and causing the entire mine cave to shake violently, producing numerous cracks.

The black sword cleaved toward Shen Long, who radiated a bright yellow light from his body and transformed into a Yellow Giant Ape.

The black sword struck the Yellow Giant Ape’s body with a muffled clang like the strike of metal against metal.

With a flick of the Yellow Giant Ape’s wrist, the Nine-Headed Ghost Pigeon flew out from the Spirit Beast Bracelet.

One of its heads spewed out a blue halo of light that enveloped the ghost creature.

Just as the ghost creature attempted to evade, gravity intensified, pinning its body to the ground as if magnetically attracted.

The blue halo of light trapped the ghost creature, rendering it immobile as five of the Nine-Headed Ghost Pigeon’s heads swooped in, biting into the ghost creature’s body and gently tearing it apart.

The ghost creature let out a miserable cry as its body was torn into five segments and swallowed by the Nine-Headed Ghost Pigeon.

"Ghost Pigeon! Body Cultivation."

The black-robed elder spoke with disbelief, forming a spell with his fingers, directing the black sword to slash at the Ghost Pigeon.

One of the Ghost Pigeon’s heads spewed out a yellow halo of light, turning the black sword to stone upon contact and causing it to fall from mid-air and shatter to pieces.

With his spiritual treasure destroyed, the black-robed elder was also severely injured, spewing out a mouthful of Essence Blood and his face turning pale.

The fist of the Yellow Giant Ape fell from the sky, smashing into the black-robed elder’s head.

With a dull sound, the black-robed elder’s head burst open, his corpse emitting a blinding black light and transforming into a glowing talisman.

With a "pfft," the talisman self-ignited, burning into ash.

"Tribulation-Substituting Talisman!"

The Yellow Giant Ape snorted coldly.

With a powerful flap of its wings, the Nine-Headed Ghost Pigeon conjured a wild wind and vanished from the spot.

A hundred miles away in the void, a chilly wind blew as the black-robed elder appeared, his expression frantic.

"Trying to run away? You didn’t ask me."

An ice-cold, merciless voice rang out.

As soon as the voice dropped, the Nine-Headed Ghost Pigeon appeared.

"Speaking human language, you’re only a fifth-order, it’s impossible."

The black-robed elder’s face was filled with shock, as most fifth-order Spirit Birds were incapable of speaking.

He had thought he had kicked a metal plate, but now it seemed he had kicked an iron wall.

The black-robed elder flicked his sleeve and a palm-sized black Gourd flew out, into which he injected a spell.

The Gourd swelled in size, spewing out a jet of black flames, heading straight for the Nine-Headed Ghost Pigeon.

The Nine-Headed Ghost Pigeon’s body radiated bright blue light, the black flames unable to breach it, leaving the Nine-Headed Ghost Pigeon unharmed.

"Fire-Avoiding! Petrification! Nine-Headed Ghost Pigeon!"

The black-robed elder’s voice trembled, the Nine-Headed Ghost Pigeon being an ancient and ferocious bird, and a Soul Transformation Cultivator actually owned one?

One head of the Nine-Headed Ghost Pigeon emitted a blue halo of light, engulfing the black-robed elder, who showed a look of agony as he felt his Divine Soul being extracted.

A sharp, piercing screech echoed, the black-robed elder suddenly feeling dizzy and nearly falling from the sky.

His Divine Soul flew out of his body, swept up by the blue halo of light into the mouth of the Nine-Headed Ghost Pigeon and swallowed down, while the black-robed elder rapidly plummeted towards the ground.

The ground tore open, and a yellow giant ape burst forth from the earth, grabbing the corpse of the robed elder, searching him and finding a black storage bracelet, before tossing the body to the Nine-Headed Ghost Pigeon to devour.

"Master, there’s Profound Yin Crystal here! He was hiding here to mine Profound Yin Crystals. He hadn’t managed to mine much; he didn’t wipe out the four people from the Yang Tianshan group. One reason is that he wasn’t powerful enough; the other is that he was worried about attracting the attention of Void Refining Cultivators from the Qianling Sect."

So spoke the Nine-Headed Ghost Pigeon.

Profound Yin Mine Vein produces Profound Yin Stones, which are fifth-grade Artifact Refining materials, whereas Profound Yin Crystals are sixth-grade, worth more than ten times as much. Large Profound Yin Veins might give birth to Profound Yin Crystals.

By consuming the spirit souls of other beings, it could learn all their secrets, even more effective than the Soul Search spell—this is an ancient and ferocious bird.

"Does the Yang Family know about the Profound Yin Crystals?"

The yellow giant ape spoke.

"They don’t know. Two of the Yang Family’s disciples discovered the Profound Yin Crystals but didn’t report it; they were mining it in secret. They had barely managed to mine a small piece of Profound Yin Crystal and took it to the marketplace to sell, only to be killed for the treasure by this man, who learned about the existence of the Profound Yin Crystal through soul searching. Then he used ghost creatures to wipe out the cultivators of the Yang Family here, worried that dealing with a Soul Transformation Cultivator from the Qianling Sect would draw a Void Refining Cultivator. He has a map."

The Nine-Headed Ghost Pigeon answered.

"Well done. Come back."

The yellow giant ape reverted to human form, and the Nine-Headed Ghost Pigeon flew back into the Spirit Beast Bracelet.

Shen Long found a map in the storage bracelet with the words "Profound Yin" written in a certain place, supposedly marking the location of the Profound Yin Crystals.

Shen Long flew into the mine and, not long after, he appeared in a mine chamber a hundred yards across, with uneven walls, nothing out of the ordinary.

He released the Hundred Eyes Cicada and the Gold-Winged Fire Ant Queen. The Hundred Eyes Cicada’s eyes emitted a blinding golden light as it said, "There’s a barrier ahead."

Opening its mouth, it spat out a golden light, which landed on a certain part of the wall, revealing a black light screen.

After advancing to the fifth grade, the Gold-Winged Fire Ant Queen and Hundred Eyes Cicada had reached a purity of bloodline of five and could now speak human language.

Shen Long threw a punch, shattering the black light screen and revealing an uneven black wall in front of him, where some black crystals were visible.

His fist hammered down onto the black crystal, and a dull thud sounded; the black crystal remained intact.

Shen Long summoned his Zyphyxial Blade and swung it at the black crystal, producing a thudding sound like metal striking metal; a clear cut mark appeared.

"Such a difficult excavation, worthy of being a sixth-grade Artifact Refining material."

Shen Long exclaimed in surprise; sixth-grade Artifact Refining materials could be used to forge mid-grade Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasures, which were immensely valuable.

"Master, let me handle this!"

The Gold-Winged Fire Ant Queen offered, opening its mouth to spew a thick golden flame onto the black wall.

The black wall began to melt, impurities were expelled, and as the golden flame spread, it touched the Profound Yin Crystals without causing any change to them.

Melting Gold Divine Skill!

Apart from the Profound Yin Crystals, the Profound Yin Stones melted instantly, aiding Shen Long in mining the Profound Yin Crystals.

Less than half a quarter hour later, a Profound Yin Crystal as big as a house appeared before Shen Long.

The Profound Yin Crystals were originally combined with the Profound Yin Stones, but now, with the melt of the Profound Yin Stones, the Profound Yin Crystals naturally stood out.

The Profound Yin Crystal rolled out of the wall and fell to the ground.

Shen Long’s face showed delight as he collected the Profound Yin Crystal; based on the market price, this crystal was worth several hundred million Spirit Stones—he had struck it rich.

"Someone’s coming. Return."

Shen Long instructed.

The Gold-Winged Fire Ant Queen and the Hundred Eyes Cicada answered and flew back into the Spirit Beast Bracelet.

Shen Long clenched his fists, sending dense red fist shadows out to strike the wall, which cracked and shattered, bringing the mine chamber down. He wanted to destroy the scene of the incident, to prevent anyone from discovering the Melting Gold Divine Skill of the Gold-Winged Fire Ant Queen.

Outside the mine, a Seven-Colored Spirit Butterfly flew in from afar and came to a halt in a flash, with Li Tianxue, Zhao Tianhu, Yang Tianshan, and Yang Shengrong standing on the back of the butterfly.
