Qin Feng's attacks became more and more violent. In the center of his battle with the Fire Cloud Ant King, the violent power of lightning wreaked havoc. True Energy Realm cultivators were unable to approach at all. Even a descendant of a monarch clan like Zhao Jun had a look of fear on his face.
"This kind of speed that surpasses the limits of the True Energy Realm can't be maintained for too long. This fellow must be overdrawing his own potential. He won't be able to hold on for much longer," Tao Shi said.
"That's right, that must be the case. Using a taboo martial technique like this will cause endless trouble. This brat is too eager for quick success. He won't be able to hold on for long."
It wasn't that there weren't any martial techniques that could greatly increase one's strength in a short period of time. However, without exception, all of them came with great risks.
It was already very abnormal for a ninth level True Energy Realm cultivator to fight a mid-Fourth Order Demonic Beast head-on. Now that he was beating up a mid-Fourth Order Demonic Beast, how could these lofty geniuses accept this? He must have used some unknown taboo martial technique.
"Kacha!"
Amidst Qin Feng's storm-like attacks, a crisp sound rang out. Although the sound wasn't loud, it stirred up the nerves of all the cultivators present.
"Kacha!"
Another soft sound rang out. The Fire Cloud Ant King's tough carapace finally couldn't hold on any longer. Under Qin Feng's repeated attacks, cracks began to appear!
The moment cracks appeared on the originally indestructible carapace, the outcome of the battle was clear. The carapace on the Fire Cloud Ant King's body continued to crack, and the Fire Cloud Ant King howled in agony. Following that, a bolt of lightning pierced through the Fire Cloud Ant King's head. This mid-Fourth Order Demonic Beast no longer moved.
Qin Feng kept the Fire Cloud Ant King into his storage ring. The emperor bloodline and thunder armor disappeared at the same time. In this battle, apart from not using the Eternal Flame, he had already used all his strength to kill the Fire Cloud Ant King.
The cultivators behind Zhao Jun kept quiet out of fear. Who would have thought that this seemingly ordinary cultivator would actually be able to fight a mid-Fourth-order Monster Beast on his own, and even kill it?
Zhao Jun's face was very ugly. He thought he had overestimated Qin Feng, but now he found that he still underestimated Qin Feng. A True Element Boundary martial artist who could kill a mid-Fourth-order Monster Beast was a monstrous existence even among the Emperor Clans.
"Name a price for this Fire Cloud Ant King. I'll take it!" Zhao Jun said.
Qin Feng waved his hand, and the Dragon-Blooded Great Ape immediately turned into a palm-sized monkey and jumped onto Qin Feng's shoulder, completely ignoring Zhao Jun.
Zhao Jun's face was so gloomy that it was about to drip water. Qin Feng was slapping his own face in front of these small fries. When had he, a dignified descendant of the Emperor clan, suffered such humiliation?
Being a descendant of the Emperor clan was Zhao Jun's greatest glory. However, to Qin Feng, was being a descendant of the Emperor clan that great? He was once a Great Emperor. Even Zhao Huaiyi was only his little brother, not to mention a mere descendant of god knows how many generations. Was he even worthy of giving face to a descendant of the Emperor clan?
"Too arrogant, too arrogant. How dare he be so rude to Young Master Jun!" Tao Shi, the lackey, immediately stepped forward.
However, Qin Feng had already disappeared. Tao Shi's display of loyalty was disgusting, and more like a belated warning!
"The Ant Queen was taken away by him too!" Zhao Jun looked at the messy ant nest. The Ant Queen had already disappeared.
"Young Master Jun, don't worry. It's just a few Fire Cloud Ants. Once we leave the Beast Emperor's secret treasure, I'll find it for Young Master Jun even if I have to search the entire realm," Tao Shi said with a smile.
Zhao Jun glanced at Tao Shi and said, "If you can find a Fire Cloud Ant nest, I'll reward you handsomely. It's even possible for me to bring you out of this realm."
"Thank you, Young Master Jun. Thank you, Young Master Jun. I'll definitely find a Fire Cloud Ant nest for Young Master Jun at all costs!" Tao Shi was overjoyed.
Even though he was a disciple of a martial arts holy land, he would never be able to leave this realm in his lifetime. Disciples of martial arts holy lands might seem noble, but in the eyes of martial artists from the outside world, they were still pigs. Now that he was hugging Zhao Jun's thigh, and Zhao Jun had even promised to bring him out of this realm, how could he not be excited?
Zhao Jun looked at Tao Shi's ecstatic expression and sneered inwardly. Tao Shi was really a frog at the bottom of a well. This Tao Shi didn't even know how precious Fire Cloud Ants were. How could there be a Fire Cloud Ant nest in a mere Pig Realm?
Being able to find a Fire Cloud Ant nest in the Beast Emperor's secret treasure was already a pleasant surprise. Unfortunately, he didn't get anything other than a few Fire Cloud Ants that were left alone. The most precious Ant King and Ant Queen were actually taken by Qin Feng alone.
Even in the Black Yellow Great World, there weren't many Fire Cloud Ants. They even had to be artificially raised at great cost in order to obtain the Fire Cloud Ant's formic acid.
If it was just the Fire Cloud Ant's formic acid, it wouldn't be anything good. To most martial artists, the Fire Cloud Ant's formic acid was a highly toxic substance. If martial artists with weaker cultivation came into contact with the formic acid, they would even die.
However, more than 10,000 years ago, the Elixir Emperor used the Fire Cloud Ant's formic acid to refine a wonderful elixir. Although it was only a fourth-grade elixir, countless martial artists scrambled for it because the effect of this elixir was directly related to the Spirit.
Since then, the Fire Cloud Ant had been fought over by martial artists in thousands of realms. This demonic beast had already gone extinct in many realms. After 10,000 years, the Fire Cloud Ant's wonderful effects had been gradually forgotten. The number of alchemists who knew how to use the Fire Cloud Ant's formic acid had also decreased.
There were only a handful of alchemists in the Black Yellow Great World who knew how to refine this elixir. However, even if they knew how to refine it, there weren't enough materials for them to refine it. Even among the monarch races, this elixir was extremely rare. Only a highly regarded descendant would be able to get one.
Zhao Jun was indeed outstanding among the descendants of the monarch races. However, he was far from being the most outstanding one. This elixir naturally had nothing to do with him.
Legend had it that the Elixir Emperor had a large number of elixirs. However, the Elixir Emperor had already gone into seclusion and was very elusive. There were very few people in all the realms who knew about his whereabouts. It was simply impossible to get a single elixir from the Elixir Emperor.
This was the closest he had ever gotten to this kind of elixir. However, it was forcefully destroyed by Qin Feng.
As long as you are still in the Beast Emperor's Secret Treasure, don't even think about running away! "Zhao Jun clenched his fist.
Qin Feng's strength made Zhao Jun extremely fearful. He didn't have the slightest bit of confidence in a one-on-one fight. However, he wasn't the only one who had entered the Beast Emperor's Secret Treasure this time. There were also many Soul Core Realm martial artists. Qin Feng was indeed strong, but was he stronger than a Soul Core Realm martial artist?
"Let's go!"
After killing the remaining Fire Cloud Ants, Zhao Jun led his motley crew and left. This mountain range was endless. Since a treasure like the Fire Cloud Ant had appeared, there must be other treasures as well. They couldn't fall behind.
When it came to treasure hunting, who could be better than Bao Hou? This endless mountain range contained countless heavenly treasures. However, no matter how deeply these heavenly treasures were hidden, Bao Hou would be able to dig them out.
The Beast Emperor's Secret Treasure did indeed contain unlimited opportunities. It all depended on whether one could grasp these opportunities.
Why the Beast Emperor had placed his Secret Treasure in this region was still a mystery. However, this didn't stop martial artists from all over the world from entering the Beast Emperor's Secret Treasure to search for treasures. According to legends, the Beast Emperor's Secret Treasure contained the Beast Emperor's inheritance. The value of a Great Emperor's inheritance was unimaginable.
Even a descendant of a Great Emperor like Zhao Jun might not be able to meet the Great Emperor of his clan. In fact, many descendants of the Great Emperor had never even met the Great Emperor of their clan in their entire lives, let alone receive guidance from the Great Emperor. As for the Great Emperor's inheritance, that was even more out of the question.
"Rumble!"
While the martial artists were searching for heavenly treasures in the mountain range, the endless mountain range suddenly shook violently.
"Earthquake?" Qin Feng frowned slightly.
"Young Master Jun, what is that?"
Tao Shi pointed at the constantly rising mountain peak in horror. One mountain peak after another was forcefully severed by a force and floated in the air. Countless boulders formed a staircase connecting the various mountain peaks.
"The Beast Emperor's inheritance!" Zhao Jun said indifferently.
"The Beast Emperor's inheritance!"
Tao Shi stared greedily at the floating mountain peaks. If he could obtain the Beast Emperor's inheritance, then the entire world would be his. No, he would be able to control the entire universe.
The mountain peaks were glowing brightly. Even an idiot would know that there were treasures on top of the mountain peaks.
"The Beast Emperor has gathered all the treasures on top of the mountain peaks. This means that I have placed all the treasures here. If you have the ability, then come and take them!" Zhao Jun snorted.
"The Beast Emperor's inheritance. I will kill whoever dares to fight with me!" Suddenly, a figure flew across the sky. It was a Soul Core Realm martial artist!
"Weng!"
However, when the Soul Core Realm martial artist reached the first mountain peak, he suddenly disappeared.
"Ignorant fool!" Hu Sha landed next to Zhao Jun and sneered.
"Young master!" Hu Sha half-knelt on the ground.
"Stand up. Did you get anything?" Zhao Jun said indifferently.
"I got a rank five spiritual weapon!" Hu Sha took out the rank five spiritual weapon, the Flying Eagle Thorn.
Zhao Jun waved his hand and told Hu Sha to keep it. A rank five spiritual weapon could only be used to its fullest potential in Hu Sha's hands.
When they entered the Beast Emperor's secret treasure, they were all assigned to different areas. However, everyone's goal was to obtain the Beast Emperor's inheritance. When the Beast Emperor's inheritance appeared, everyone would put down whatever they were doing and search for it.
Many Soul Core Realm martial artists appeared nearby. However, these Soul Core Realm martial artists didn't care about the True Energy Realm and Yuan Dan Realm martial artists below them. They directly charged into the mountain peaks and disappeared.
Qin Feng looked at the mountain peaks next to him. They looked like floating mountain peaks. However, each mountain peak was connected to a different dimension. Therefore, even if they entered the same mountain peak, they would be in a different dimension. The ability to fold dimensions was very advanced. The Beast Emperor's strength was not to be underestimated.
"Since I'm here, let's take a look at the so-called Beast Emperor's inheritance!" Qin Feng stepped onto a mountain peak and his figure instantly disappeared.
