Invincible Over the World
Chapter 589 - 589 586

589: 586 589: 586 “Also here for the treasure?!” Huang Xiaolong exclaimed in surprise and skepticism.

“If not for the treasure, who would willingly come to this godforsaken place?” Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi said.

“Could they possibly be here for a field battle?”

Huang Xiaolong broke out in a cold sweat.

If anyone came to this core area of the Ice Soul Forest for a field battle, they would indeed be the top of the top-notch.

The thought of the six burly men from Xuanwu Academy and Azure Dragon Academy engaging in a field battle here sent shivers down Huang Xiaolong’s spine.

The term ‘field battle’ was something Huang Xiaolong had casually mentioned to Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi a few days ago, and unexpectedly, the old dragon had remembered it.

“Actually, many have heard that there is a treasure deep within the Ice Soul Forest,” said Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi.

“It’s no secret, however, for a hundred thousand years, no one has found the Ice Soul Treasure.

Over time, people stopped coming here to search for it.

Besides Tenth Rank Demon Beasts, this core area of the Ice Soul Forest might even have Divine Level Demon Beasts lurking around.

Coming here is akin to seeking death!”

Huang Xiaolong nodded.

“Although I obtained the Treasure Map back then and came here to search once, I was ambushed right when I found the treasure, before I could even open the Treasure Cave Mansion,” continued Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi.

“I was attacked by my nemesis and a group of Divine Domain Tenth Rank Late Stage Peak demon beasts.

I managed to escape at that time, but…” He trailed off, leaving the implication hanging in the air.

It was then that Huang Xiaolong realized why Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi had his physical body destroyed and his Dragon Soul severely injured back in the day.

He was actually ambushed by a group of Divine Domain Tenth Rank Late Stage Peak demon beasts!

Wow!

Yet, being surrounded by a group of Divine Domain Tenth Rank Late Stage Peak demon beasts, Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi had still managed to escape, which was quite formidable.

“Who was your nemesis back then?” Huang Xiaolong couldn’t help but ask out of curiosity.

Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi said, “It’s better for you not to know for now.

If you can get first place in the Gods’ Ascendance Competition and receive the Divine Power infusion, breaking through to Divine Level, then I’ll tell you!”

If Huang Xiaolong could indeed win the Gods’ Ascendance Competition and undergo the Divine Power infusion, breaking through to Divine Level, he would be able to unlock the seal on the Dragon Ball.

Then, Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi would be free from the constraints of the Dragon Ball.

The first thing Ao Taiyi would do once free from the Dragon Ball’s bonds was to take revenge for the past and kill his old enemy!

However, since his old enemy was terrifyingly powerful, even if Ao Taiyi could break free from the Dragon Ball, there was no guarantee that he would be able to kill his foe.

Therefore, he would still need Huang Xiaolong’s help when the time came.

Right now, Huang Xiaolong was still too weak, so even knowing the identity of the enemy would be useless.

Since Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi was unwilling to speak of his past nemesis, Huang Xiaolong did not press further and continued to fly forward with caution using Sword Flight.

However, if those three Supreme Elders from Xuanwu Academy and several people from Azure Dragon Academy were also here to search for the treasure, it would indeed pose a problem for Huang Xiaolong.

“Forget it, now that I’m here, I’ll just take it one step at a time,” Huang Xiaolong consoled himself.

Huang Xiaolong kept his aura concealed and flew carefully.

With his current strength, he was capable of flying without causing disturbances in the spatial forces, so as long as he was careful, he should be able to avoid those Divine Domain Tenth Rank demon beasts.

And so, Huang Xiaolong spent another day filled with both excitement and danger.

The sky gradually darkened.

“By tomorrow, you should be able to reach the location of the treasure,” Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi said.

“Flying at night in the core area of the Ice Soul Forest is too dangerous.

I think it’s better if you rest for the night and continue on your way when it’s daylight.”

After considering the suggestion, Huang Xiaolong nodded in agreement.

That seemed like a good idea, as there was no rush for the moment.

If those six people were also here for the treasure, there was no use for Huang Xiaolong to rush now.

Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi said, “I know of a natural cave here that’s very well hidden.

You can take shelter there tonight.”

Following Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi’s instructions, it didn’t take long for Huang Xiaolong to find the natural cave, which was situated halfway up a tall peak, covered layer upon layer with snow, and further concealed by a defensive array laid by Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi himself back in the day.

Indeed, it was an excellent hiding spot.

As Huang Xiaolong entered the cave, he found it to be quite spacious, and inside lay an ice bed, forged by Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi all those years ago.

Over sixty thousand years had passed, and the ice bed was still there.

“This bed was made by me using Purple Crystal Cold Jade.

Cultivating while seated on it will be very beneficial to you,” Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi said.

“Actually, if those six are also here to find the treasure, it might not be such a bad thing for you.”

Huang Xiaolong leapt up, landing on the Purple Crystal Cold Jade Bed and sat cross-legged before asking, “How so?”

Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi replied, “Even if they know the method to break the Ice Soul Treasure’s prohibitions, it’s not easy to unlock.

Joined hands, it would still take them two to three days.”

Upon hearing this, Huang Xiaolong heaved a sigh of relief.

Good, there was still hope.

“When they break the prohibitions, there will surely be fluctuations in power, attracting Tenth Rank Demon Beasts from the Divine Domain,” Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi continued.

“Let them deal with breaking the protections and facing those demon beasts.

By then, you can reap the benefits without much effort.”

Huang Xiaolong was taken aback, but he couldn’t deny that Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi’s analysis had merit.

Afterwards, Huang Xiaolong sat down cross-legged and began to cultivate using his Cultivation Technique.

In the days of travel, although always on the move, after entering the Ice Soul Forest, Huang Xiaolong had slain quite a number of Mid Divine Domain and High-level Demon Beasts, refining a good number of their Demon Cores.

Having already reached Divine Domain Second Stage Middle Peak, Huang Xiaolong felt that his strength had increased significantly and sensed he would likely break through to the Divine Domain Second Late Stage in the next few days.

Of course, for Demon Beasts above Divine Domain Fifth Stage, Huang Xiaolong currently lacked the strength to defeat them without the assistance of Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi.

Outside the cave, the occasional roar of beasts could be heard.

Beyond that, all was deathly still.

As he cultivated on the Purple Crystal Cold Jade Bed, Huang Xiaolong found he could even sense a colossal Tenth Rank Divine Domain Demon Beast flying by tens of thousands of miles away.

With Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi helping to conceal his presence, Huang Xiaolong wasn’t worried about these Tenth Rank Divine Domain Demon Beasts detecting him.

A night passed.

The sky gradually brightened.

Huang Xiaolong walked out of the cave, determined the direction, and continued on his Sword Flight deeper into the forest.

Wearing his white White Flame Divine Armor, which was the color of snow, made it very difficult for anyone to spot Huang Xiaolong from afar.

With no energy fluctuations either, he managed another six uneventful hours of flight within the core area of the Ice Soul Forest.

As Huang Xiaolong continued to fly, he suddenly felt terrifying power fluctuations coming from ahead.

“It’s coming from the direction of the treasure.

It seems those six really came looking for the treasure and have attracted demon beasts,” Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi said excitedly.

“Let’s go take a look.”

Huang Xiaolong flew forward a little, and to be cautious, he summoned the Sumeru Divine Mountain and used it to cloak himself, slowly approaching the treasure.

The closer he got to the treasure, the stronger and more terrifying the power fluctuations became; they were stronger with each wave, making the ground quake and the mountains tremble, and one snow mountain after another began to collapse.
