Chapter 406 Shock
The person who spoke was a man in a black robe, who looked to be about 27 or 28 years old. He was holding a halberd and stood in front of Zhou Ling with a look of contempt on his face.

After all, Zhou Ling was a core disciple of the Shenzhou Sect, so he naturally had a wide range of knowledge and immediately recognized this person's identity.

"The Holy Son of Yuhua Sect, Zhu Tianxuan? So what if you are a Holy Son? You have only practiced for a few more years. How could I be afraid of you?"

Zhou Ling brandished his spear and fought with the opponent.

All major sects have Holy Sons and Holy Daughters, who are talented disciples above the core true teachings, and their number is not limited, there may even be dozens of them!
These saint sons and saint daughters are often truly invincible among the same level. They can fight against a hundred people alone, and can even survive at the hands of beings of a higher level. Their combat power is terrifyingly high.

The black-robed young man in front of him was a saint of the Yuhua Sect. Although he had only reached the peak of the Golden Immortal realm, his combat power was extremely astonishing. Even if he encountered an Ancestral Immortal, he would be able to barely defeat him for a few moves.

"You are such a fool! You are not even a Holy Son, yet you dare to shout in front of me? Kneel down and beg for mercy. For the sake of Shenzhou Sect, I can still spare your life!"

Zhu Tianxuan shouted coldly and swung the halberd in his hand lightly. Infinite divine light suddenly burst out and condensed into a ferocious beast with scales and armor, pressing towards Zhou Ling.

The ferocious beast roared and stepped through the void, making a loud rumbling sound, its power was extremely terrifying.

"Brother Zhou, be careful. This is the Seven Evils Halberd Technique. Its power should not be underestimated. Don't resist it head-on..." Upon seeing this, Fan Chen of the Fanyun Sect immediately spoke out to remind him, and at the same time planned to step forward to help.

However, he only finished speaking halfway when his eyes widened in shock.

But Zhou Ling's spear shot out like a dragon. He was not afraid of the ferocious beast with overwhelming power. He destroyed it in an instant, and even his breathing rhythm was not hurried at all!

On the contrary, the Holy Son of Yuhua Sect was actually blown away for a distance under his attack. The arrogance and contempt on his face instantly disappeared, and was replaced by indescribable surprise.

Not only him, but everyone on both sides of the enemy felt incredible at this moment.

"How is it possible? With just a core disciple of Shenzhou Sect, you can have such fighting power?"

Zhu Tianxuan roared in disbelief, and his whole body suddenly burst into an extremely bright light. The halberd in his hand suddenly grew to dozens of feet long and slashed towards Zhou Xuan like an overwhelming force.

"You can be proud of yourself for forcing me to use the last move of the Seven Evils Halberd Technique, Zhou Ling! But with this move, you are also doomed to a tragic end... This is all your own fault!"

"As the Holy Son of Yuhua Sect, if you want to fight, then fight. Why are you talking so much nonsense? It's really annoying!"

Zhou Ling's eyes were cold, but he was shocked and excited in his heart. His body suddenly disappeared from the spot. When he reappeared, he had already pierced through Zhu Tianxuan's protective divine light with a shot!

Of course, he was able to do this not entirely because of his own strength, but because Chai Xin took action in his kingdom of God and channeled the magic power into his body.

With Chai Xin’s current strength, he can easily crush an Ancestral Immortal, let alone a mere Golden Immortal?
Even the so-called saint of a great sect is not strong enough to be suppressed by just one finger of his!
"Hey!"

The sharp tip of the spear pierced Zhu Tianxuan's chest, and blood immediately gushed out, staining his dark robe red, making it particularly eye-catching.

"Uh ah...this is impossible!"

Despite the piercing pain in his chest, Zhu Tianxuan still couldn't believe what was happening and couldn't help but let out a terrible roar.

He never imagined that with his invincible strength in the Golden Immortal Realm, he would be directly blasted through the defense by an unknown guy, and he couldn't even dodge!
Zhou Ling's attack speed was so fast that even his mind couldn't keep up with the opponent's movements, so how could he defend or dodge?

"You were so loud, but now it seems like nothing! Go to hell!"

Facing Zhu Tianxuan's screams, Zhou Ling's face showed no emotion. Instead, he showed a bit of satisfaction. As he spoke, the light on his spear flashed again, directly piercing the opponent's body!

"Don't struggle anymore. Contribute all your Golden Immortal Laws to me and let them serve as nourishment for my further progress!
Before he finished speaking, a bronze compass flew out from his sleeve. The compass swelled in the wind and instantly became several feet in diameter. At the same time, it emitted a red divine light that completely enveloped Zhu Tianxuan.

Zhu Tianxuan seemed to be burned by a raging fire and let out tragic cries, but no matter how he struggled, he was completely unable to break free from the shackles of the divine light. Finally, with a "bang", he exploded into a sky full of vital energy, which was completely swallowed up by the compass.

For most cultivators, they cannot directly devour the origin and laws of other cultivators. They must use magic weapons to transform them before they can supply themselves.

This transformation process involves considerable losses and requires taking certain risks, which may backfire on you at any time, so not everyone dares to do this.

Even if there are some extraordinary geniuses who dare to do this, they dare not do it too frequently. They have to digest it for a long time before they can do it again.

However, even if one does not devour it oneself, one can use it to refine magic weapons, cultivate magical powers, or even nourish the creatures in the kingdom of God... in order to strengthen oneself.

"Oh my god! How could Zhou Ling be so strong? Although Zhu Tianxuan is not among the top 20 saints of Yuhua Sect, he is still a super genius. He was killed in just a few moves!"

"What's going on? His aura seemed ordinary before, but when he exploded just now, it was no weaker than us princes!"

"Retreat quickly, this guy is too fierce, we can't fight him for now!"

This time, both the Prince of the Golden Pavilion and the Prince of the Jade Palace were shocked by Zhou Ling's powerful methods.

Everyone stopped and cautiously kept a distance from Zhou Ling, even Murong Shi and others.

Zhou Ling didn't care. He turned his head and looked at the dull-looking Wei Dongsheng of Taiyi Sect, and said calmly: "If you haven't collected the spirit vein yet, when will you?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the room woke up immediately.

Murong Shi's eyes flashed with fear, but a smile quickly appeared on his face. He nodded and said, "Great! I didn't expect Brother Zhou's strength to improve so quickly. It really makes people look up to him! If I gain something from this trip, I will definitely not treat Brother Zhou unfairly!"

If he had previously recruited Zhou Ling and the other four just out of the mentality that something was better than nothing, then now he truly valued them.

Even because of the powerful strength that Zhou Ling had just revealed, he even felt a little fearful in his heart - such a person was actually following him silently. Who could believe that he had no ulterior motives?
But in the current situation, since Zhou Ling was still helping him on the surface, there was naturally no reason for him to push him away.

"I was wrong... Murong Shi, you are so lucky! Anyway, it's just a top-grade spiritual vein. It's not worth fighting for life and death. We will meet again later!"

Jin Mieyu looked at Zhou Ling deeply, a look of deep solemnity flashed in his eyes, and then he waved his hand and decisively withdrew with several of his men, withdrawing from the fight for the spiritual vein without any delay.

"Let's go, Prince Murong, and keep searching. This fairy palace obviously contains a great treasure. This is just a top-grade spiritual vein, which is nothing at all." After watching Wei Dongsheng successfully collect the spiritual vein, Zhou Ling turned to look at Murong Shi who was still in silent thought, and urged him.

"Okay, let's go now! In my opinion, Brother Zhou, your current strength is probably among the best among the endless golden immortals in the entire fairy world. Even if we encounter a king-grade spiritual vein, we have some confidence to fight for it!"

Murong Shi nodded happily, and once again activated the talisman that had fallen back on his shoulder, allowing it to return to the form of a spirit dog and continue to move towards the depths of the fairy palace.

After Zhou Ling's move, the group of people gathered by Murong Shi no longer dared to underestimate him, and many of them would ask for his advice before taking action.

With the help of Zhou Ling - actually Chai Xin - the group then easily seized more than a dozen spirit veins. The worst of them were second-level spirit veins, and most of them were first-level spirit veins. However, they only obtained three top-quality spirit veins in total.

In fact, the value of these three top-grade spiritual veins far exceeds the sum of all other spiritual veins.

As for the king-grade spiritual veins, they are precious resources that even the ancestor immortals would be jealous of. Any one of them, as long as there is enough time, can support an ordinary second-rate force!

The second-rate forces in the fairy world are not simple. If they were placed in the lower world, they would be able to sweep across the three thousand worlds. Even in this fairy world where there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers, they can occupy a place.

Such a huge harvest made even Murong Shi, the crown prince of Yu Mansion, extremely happy.

But on the other side, Jin Mieyu's face looked very unhappy.

Not only was it the loss of a capable general, but more importantly, he had repeatedly run into obstacles in front of many of his subordinates, which really damaged his prestige.

Due to their fear of Zhou Ling, they discovered spiritual veins several times afterwards, but they did not dare to rush out to fight for them, fearing that they would lose manpower again.

More than a dozen first- and second-level spirit veins, especially three top-grade spirit veins, their total value is enough to make the top talents of any major force jealous, but unfortunately he can only give them up.

"Prince, I think we should just skip this road and head to the core of the Immortal Palace! Although these details are valuable, they are nothing compared to the legendary fragments of the divine artifact of creation..."

An elderly golden immortal gave advice.

"I don't know how Murong Shi managed to win over such a master. It really makes me angry! But I'm not afraid of Zhou Ling. I just don't want to suffer too much loss before fighting for the fragments of the Creation Artifact. At the last moment, they will all be unable to escape the fate of death!"

The eyes of the Golden Pavilion Prince were cold and his teeth were gritting, but he finally endured it.

"You're right. We don't need to waste time outside. Let's go!"

"How could that kid know that His Highness had previously obtained an ancient treasure in the secret realm. It was a coin left by the ancient Duobao Tianjun, and it had been completely refined! Not only did it enable him to cultivate the art of gold to the extreme, but he also had a keen sense of treasure hunting that far exceeded that of ordinary people!"

“Hehe, with the help of that magic money treasure, Your Highness will definitely be able to obtain the fragment of the artifact of good fortune! As for some other little treasures, compared with the fragment of the artifact of good fortune, they are not worth mentioning at all.”

Several subordinates hurriedly nodded in agreement, while not forgetting to flatter Jin Mieyu.

Soon, their figures flashed quickly and they went quickly towards the depths of the Immortal Palace.

Many geniuses flew through this fairy palace. From the outside, the palace seemed to span only a few thousand miles, but inside it contained countless spaces, and there were unfathomable forbidden methods hidden everywhere.

Some people reaped benefits here, but of course some people violated the forbidden laws and eventually died.

Those cultivators below the Golden Immortal level have no chance of survival in the Immortal Palace. Any forbidden spell, or even just the aftermath of energy, will make them unable to resist, and they will die in an instant.

Even a Golden Immortal must be cautious, and only by uniting many masters can one be able to protect himself.

After Zhou Ling and his companions passed through thousands of small worlds, they finally arrived in front of a huge portal. Dozens of teams had gathered in front of the portal, working together to open it.

Dozens of teams, with a total of nearly two hundred Golden Immortals, launched an attack on the gate at the same time, and it took a long time before they finally pushed it open a little.

"Shh! Shh! Shh!"

The moment the portal opened, dozens of colorful spiritual veins rushed out from it, like spirit snakes or divine dragons, dancing wildly between heaven and earth.

In addition to these large number of spiritual veins, there are dozens of ancient magical weapons that are shining brightly in the portal. They are constantly flying up and down, as if they are about to break through the shackles and reach the outside world.

"It really is a treasure world with a lot of treasures. It's really developed this time!"

"There are actually more than a dozen spirit veins, and each one is of top-grade quality. If I can obtain such a huge fortune, I won't have to worry about cultivating to Yuanxian!"

"Each of those magic weapons is extraordinary. The worst ones are top-grade magic weapons, and there are even top-grade magic weapons among them!"

"Go! I never thought I could get the fragments of the artifact of good fortune, but among the many top-grade magic weapons here, if I can grab one, I can soar to the sky!"

Many people couldn't resist the temptation of treasures and rushed into the door like crazy, wanting to grab even one magic weapon from it, so that they could become successful from then on!
This is not a delusion. For a Golden Immortal, a top-grade immortal weapon is enough to change his fate! Even if these Golden Immortals are the best among their peers, they still cannot ignore the temptation of a top-grade immortal weapon.

But, how could treasures be so easy to obtain?

The more precious the treasure, the more powerful the guardian power it is often accompanied by, and this place is certainly no exception.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

There were explosions one after another. Those dozen top-grade spirit veins turned out to be the energy source of an ancient formation. The moment a dozen Golden Immortals rushed in, the defense mechanism was activated!

"Ah! What a powerful formation!"

"Help, someone save me!"

Almost in an instant, more than a dozen Golden Immortals were blasted into pieces, and blood mist filled the entire place!
