Chapter 1401: Transformation!
"Second, fourth brother, why are the two of you here?"
The Golden Crow Third Prince frowned slightly in displeasure. "I've long set up the Eight Gates Dragon Lock Formation in advance. Desolate Martial's bloodline was sealed and there's no way he could have escaped!"
Although the Golden Crow race had many clansmen, the younger generation of each generation viewed the Golden Crow ten princes as their leaders.
The two Half-Martial Ancestors were also among the Golden Crow ten princes.
One was the Golden Crow Second Prince and the other was the Golden Crow Fourth Prince!
Among the Golden Crow ten princes, their cultivation realms were different. However, the weakest were Conjoint Body Mighty Figures as well.
"Third Brother, if we hadn't came, you would have been killed by Desolate Martial,"
The Golden Crow Fourth Prince laughed.
"Humph!"
The Golden Crow Third Prince clenched his fists. "Don't think that I don't know what you guys are up to. You're just here to fight for Desolate Martial's treasures!"
There was intense competition between the Golden Crow ten princes and it was not common for them to fight one another personally.
The Golden Crow Second Prince did not say anything the entire time. However, he walked towards the Bronze Square Tripod and lifted it up.
"So heavy!"
His heart skipped a beat.
Although Desolate Martial died, he left behind two treasures—the Bronze Square Tripod and the Dragon Soul Saber of Divine Phoenix Island.
The Dragon Soul Saber was famous outside.
Furthermore, the Saber Emperor said that whoever could wield the Dragon Soul Saber would be the young master of Divine Phoenix Island!
However, in the eyes of the Golden Crow Second Prince, this Bronze Square Tripod was even more precious and mysterious than the Dragon Soul Saber!
The Bronze Square Tripod looked completely destroyed with cracks all over its body.
However, it managed to defend against the attack of two Half-Martial Ancestors!
The Golden Crow Second Prince closed his eyes and condensed his spirit consciousness, wanting to erase the spirit consciousness imprint left behind by Desolate Martial on the Bronze Square Tripod.
The Bronze Square Tripod could only become his treasure if he erased the spirit consciousness imprint left behind by Desolate Martial!
On the other side, the Golden Crow Fourth Prince walked forward and picked up the Dragon Soul Saber. He grinned at the Golden Crow Third Prince. "Third Brother, this Dragon Soul Saber belongs to me."
"Humph!"
The Golden Crow Third Prince harrumphed coldly with a terrible expression.
Ever since the battle at Heaven and Earth Valley where he severed his third leg and returned to Penglai Island with severe injuries, his status in the Golden Crow race had plummeted!
For a Golden Crow, the loss of a third leg was equivalent to the loss of its strongest trump card!
Initially, the Golden Crow Third Prince wanted to suppress Desolate Martial this time round and obtain his treasures and cultivation techniques before making a breakthrough.
To think that he did not manage to gain any benefits this time round as well and was interrupted by two of the Golden Crow ten princes!
The Golden Crow Fourth Prince walked forward with a smile. The moment his palm touched the Dragon Soul Saber, a change happened!
Clang! Clang!
Suddenly, the saber quivered wildly and released streams of violent saber qi. The Ancestral Dragon qi spread and released a powerful might!
"Hmm?"
Caught off guard, his palm was injured by the saber qi released by the Dragon Soul Saber and fresh blood flowed!
"How dare a ownerless weapon act so insolently!"
The Golden Crow Fourth Prince retracted his smile and his expression turned cold.
As a Half-Martial Ancestor, he was completely unaffected by the wounds in his palm; in the blink of an eye, everything had healed.
He channeled the Dharmic powers of his bloodline and a golden Sun Essence Fire condensed in his palm, burning the Dragon Soul Saber continuously!
The saber qi of the Dragon Soul Saber was burned into nothingness instantly.
Even the Ancestral Dragon Qi could not hold out!
"Roar!"
However, the Dragon Soul Saber was still extremely violent. Sensing the unfamiliar bloodline, the Ancestral Dragon qi burst forth wildly and formed a phantom of the Ancestral Dragon in midair, letting out a resounding dragon roar at the Golden Crow Fourth Prince!
"Evil creature!"
The Golden Crow Fourth Prince said hatefully, "How dare you be so noisy in front of me!"
Opening his mouth, the Golden Crow Fourth Prince suddenly spat out a stream of scarlet-gold flames that devoured the Ancestral Dragon instantly and burned wildly!
The Ancestral Dragon phantom let out a series of sorrowful cries.
In the end, the power of the Dragon Soul Saber could not defend against a Half-Martial Ancestor of the Golden Crow race!
"Hehe!"
When he saw that, the Golden Crow Third Prince could not help but laugh.
Both the second and third princes met with considerable obstacles in their attempts to obtain Desolate Martial's treasures.
The sight of them suffering caused the Golden Crow Third Prince to gloat.
"What about that woman?"
Mystic Frost's gaze landed on Mo Ying in the pavilion.
"Kill!"
Mighty Figure Heavenly Phoenix was expressionless and merely said a single word.
Mystic Frost shook his head gently. "It's a pity to kill such a beauty. Furthermore, she's a Conjoint Body Mighty Figure."
"That woman has to die!"
Mighty Figure Heavenly Phoenix's tone was resolute.
If Mo Ying were to return to Divine Phoenix Island alive, he would definitely be implicated.
He did not care about women at all.
When she heard the discussions of Mighty Figure Heavenly Phoenix and Mystic Frost, Mo Ying's expression did not change nor was there any fear in her eyes.
She was the Saber Attendant that Divine Phoenix Island had painstakingly selected.
There was no longer a need for her to survive with the death of her young master.
"Strange!"
Right then, the Golden Crow Second Prince opened his eyes and frowned. "Desolate Martial is only a Dharma Characteristic Dao Lord. Why is the spirit consciousness imprint left on the Bronze Square Tripod so stable?"
Under normal circumstances, as a Half-Martial Ancestor, he could erase the spirit consciousness of Dharma Characteristic Dao Lords with a single thought.
However, even after five minutes, the spirit consciousness on the Bronze Square Tripod showed no signs of disappearing!
"Hehe!"
The Golden Crow Third Prince laughed. "You guys don't know yet, right? Even though Desolate Martial was buried in the sacred volcano earlier on, he's not dead!"
"What do you mean by that?"
The Golden Crow Second Prince asked with a frown.
"Desolate Martial has two true bodies. The one that died earlier on was just his Dragon True Body!"
The Golden Crow Third Prince said, "In other words, Desolate Martial isn't dead yet. It's not so easy to erase his spirit consciousness!"
Under normal circumstances, if a cultivator were to die, it would naturally be much easier to erase a remnant spirit consciousness imprint.
However, if a cultivator was not dead, it would be much more difficult to erase the spirit consciousness imprint.
"That's not right either,"
The Golden Crow Second Prince shook his head. "This Bronze Square Tripod is clearly a Dharmic weapon of Desolate Martial's Dragon True Body. What has it got to do with his other true body?"
"Unless Desolate Martial's Dragon True Body isn't dead…"
A thought flashed through the Golden Crow Second Prince's mind.
Immediately, he denied that thought.
They had witnessed Desolate Martial jump into the sacred volcano and be devoured by the terrifying lava—how could he still be alive?
The Golden Crow Second Prince laughed self-deprecatingly and thought to himself, "I'm overthinking it."
At that thought, he closed his eyes and continued to channel his spirit consciousness to refine the Bronze Square Tripod.
Actually…
The Golden Crow Second Prince was not wrong.
Indeed, Su Zimo was not dead!
Not only was he not dead, in the sacred volcano, he was experiencing the greatest transformation of his body and bloodline ever since he started cultivating!
