996: Chapter 996: Death Valley (Third Update)_1 996: Chapter 996: Death Valley (Third Update)_1 “Death Valley should be up ahead.”

After half a day’s journey, Long Yan and the Black Dragon had arrived at a place that Huang Yun had described – Death Valley.

Ahead, the sky was filled with yellow sand, obscuring their vision.

Through the layers of sand, a vast valley could faintly be seen.

The entire valley seemed to be shrouded by an invisible force, much like a massive tornado.

The yellow sand swirled around, but the valley remained untouched.

From afar, the valley seemed like the gaping mouth of a monstrous beast from the primordial era, ready to swallow everything in sight.

“There are indeed many sand bandits present, I wonder what kind of treasure this will be.”

Long Yan released his Divine Sense stealthily.

He sensed numerous fluctuations in energy in the distance—no less than a hundred people—and detected several concealed fluctuations deep within, undoubtedly from the stronger figures amongst the sand bandits.

Such large-scale mobilization of the sand bandits indicated that the treasure within Death Valley is extraordinary.

“We need to figure out a way to enter Death Valley.”

Long Yan’s mind began to race at high speed.

“Someone’s approaching.”

Just then, Long Yan abruptly sensed the approach of several powerful energies and became alert instantly.

“The people from Refining God Sect, Chunqiu Sect, and Tai Yuan Palace have also arrived?”

Long Yan turned around, his gaze falling on a group of people flying in from afar.

He immediately recognized them as members of the three great forces.

The leaders of the group were the three ancient emperors, Ding Yuan, Shi Chuan, and Lu Lingjie, hailing from Refining God Sect, Tai Yuan Palace, and Chunqiu Sect, respectively.

Those following the three leaders were no mere weaklings; each of them had cultivation bases at the Breaking Boundary Realm at the very least.

“It looks like the news of the treasure’s emergence has reached the three great forces.”

The fact that these people were heading directly to Death Valley suggested they had also received the news, and had come here to compete for the treasure.

What was odd, however, was the absence of anyone from the Jiu Xiao Dynasty.

Logically, if the three great forces had received the news, the Jiu Xiao Dynasty should have done so as well.

When Long Yan noticed Ding Yuan, Shi Chuan, and Lu Lingjie, they too spotted him.

“Long Yan, you’re here!”

Ding Yuan, Shi Chuan, and Lu Lingjie quickly approached Long Yan.

They were taken aback to find Long Yan here, and even more so to discover he was alone.

“Are you trying to say, ‘enemies often cross each other’s path’?”

A smirk appeared on Long Yan’s face.

He was fearless.

“Good thing you understand it.

I’m curious to see who can save you today!”

Ding Yuan spoke in a cold voice.

In their previous battle at Qianshan Town, the three great forces had suffered great losses.

Because of Long Yan, they had lost face and became the butt of jokes.

Now, they found a golden opportunity to eliminate this major threat; naturally, they wouldn’t pass up a chance to get rid of Long Yan.

“Want to kill me?”

The smile on Long Yan’s face grew thicker.

He remarked, “Even if you all gang up, you’re not my match.

Had it been Tu Xiaotian and the others who came in person, perhaps I might be a bit wary.”

Before venturing to Beichuan Desert Sea, his Master had specifically instructed him to bring the Corpse-Blood War Demon.

Against Ding Yuan, Shi Chuan, and Lu Lingjie, Long Yan wasn’t afraid in the least.

“I don’t believe you have any more Emperor Essence.”

Lu Lingjie spoke coldly, his aura also beginning to fluctuate.

Up until now, they had understood that Long Yan’s sudden surge of power to Emperor Realm level at Qianshan Town was because of his consumption of Emperor Essence.

“A group of country bumpkins, you think I need Emperor Essence to deal with you.”

Long Yan scoffed.

He was already prepared to use the Corpse-Blood War Demon.

However, at this point, a powerful fluctuation was released from the front.

“What’s going on?”

Ding Yuan, Shi Chuan, Lu Lingjie, and others were all attracted by the powerful fluctuation, and their gazes were all directed towards the direction of Death Valley.

The monstrous wave of energy was indeed emanating from Death Valley.

“Could it be that a treasure is about to come into the world?”

Mused Long Yan in his heart.

Such a strong wave of energy, the treasure in Death Valley is definitely not simple.

In the next moment, a red pillar of light rushed out from Death Valley, shooting straight into the sky, scattering the surrounding yellow sand.

It rose to a height of about a thousand feet before the light pillar suddenly dispersed, and the red light permeated into void, along with a strong aura and a strange smell spreading out.

“Heavenly treasures, these are definitely heavenly treasures.”

Shi Chuan exclaimed in surprise.

With such a big commotion, the heavenly treasures coming into the world from Death Valley are definitely not simple, they are probably emperor-level heavenly treasures.

An emperor-level heavenly treasure can completely make an emperor, the value of which is self-evident.

“Indeed, it’s not an ordinary treasure.”

Long Yan nodded, his gaze trembling; he too had guessed that the treasure was extraordinary.

“I’ve got no time to play with you guys.

Black Dragon, let’s go!”

Long Yan called out to Black Dragon, then activated the Eight Wastes Step and rushed towards Death Valley.

Black Dragon was also quick and closely followed behind Long Yan.

The treasure was right in front of them.

Long Yan couldn’t care less about startling the snake in the grass.

If he arrived a step late, the treasure might be seized by the sand bandits.

“Get the treasure first.”

Ding Yuan, Shi Chuan, and Lu Lingjie all shouted simultaneously, then rushed towards Death Valley, the others closely following behind.

Long Yan and Black Dragon moved quickly and were not slower than Ding Yuan, Shi Chuan, and Lu Lingjie.

They quickly entered the yellow sand area.

“Who dares to intrude upon Death Valley, seeking death!”

As soon as Long Yan and others approached Death Valley, they were spotted by sand bandits.

A bandit leader shouted angrily and swung a large hammer at Long Yan.

This bandit leader was far more formidable than the previous one Long Yan had slain, with cultivation base of the early Broken Realm.

The hammer was also an unusual Daoist tool with the power to kill a cultivator at the peak of Myriad Forms Realm.

“Get out of my way, Nine Dragons Battle Heaven Seal!”

Long Yan shouted, forming a seal with both hands.

The Nine Dragons Battle Heaven Seal formed instantly and with a palm strike, it rolled forward.

Six fire dragons roared within the seal, their low, rumbling roars echoing with the spreading energy.

“Boom!”

In an instant, the hammer collided with the Nine Dragons Battle Heaven Seal.

With a loud rumble, vast energy exploded, the Nine Dragons Battle Heaven Seal held for a while then shattered directly, and the hammer was also blasted back.

Clomp, clomp, clomp.

The powerful backlash made the bandit leader take three step pack before he steadied himself, his hand holding the hammer trembling.

He didn’t expect Long Yan to be this powerful.

At the same time, Long Yan was also stopped, his forward momentum halted.

All this happened in the blink of an eye.

“Dare to be presumptuous here, courting death!”

Immediately after, the other sand bandits also killed towards Long Yan and the others.

There were not less than fifty people, and some powerful sand bandits were rushing out from Death Valley.
