Overriding the Heaven

The pool water that had been dyed red by the blood of the tiger seemed to boil up and down, bubbling.    

    

Under the gaze of the tiger's eyes, two streaks of red light shot out of the pool and disappeared without a trace.    

    

At this moment, it was as if the water had lost its soul and calmed down, returning to its original clarity.    

    

As for the white tiger, it's eyes revealed a look of exhaustion, and its body leaned on the ground, gasping for breath.    

    

His lower abdomen was in increasing pain.    

    

At this time, Chu Yan had already passed through the cave.    

    

What appeared in front of him was a series of interconnected caves.    

    

These caves were connected to each other. Who knew how many there were or how big they were?    

    

But there was one thing that Chu Yan could confirm, he was slowly climbing upwards.    

    

Although these karst caves were very complicated, and each one was a trap that would cause one to lose themselves in it if they were not careful, as long as they kept going up, they wouldn't go wrong.    

    

Chu Yan's current goal was to see if he could find a disciple of the Shattered Star Pavilion who was also trapped in the illusion formation. However, before he could even meet with his own sect's disciples, he had already encountered an attack from a dire beast.    

    

As he walked forward, Chu Yan's heartbeat quickened.    

    

With his keen perception, he instantly sensed a black shadow shooting towards him at lightning speed.    

    

Chu Yan did not hesitate as he thrusted his spear forward.    

    

Clang!    

    

At the same time that the sound of metal striking stone echoed out, the Soul-Sealing Spear's spearpoint shot out a dazzling cloud of sparks.    

    

The long black shadow immediately bounced back, and landed on a stalactite that was about four to five Zhang away from Chu Yan, and started hissing at Chu Yan.    

    

Seeing that the Huang Beast was a snake, Chu Yan could not help but be curious.    

    

The Soul-Sealing Spear was personally forged by him, and it was incomparably sharp. Moreover, it was made from a octadecyl apparatus, and amongst the sharp weapons, it was already an existence close to the peak.    

    

The previously tough skin and thick flesh of the White Kiss Claw Bear with extremely high defense had been penetrated by his spear, but this Huang Beast Snake was not pierced through. Instead, it sent sparks flying when it collided with the Soul Locking Spear.    

    

However, when Chu Yan saw the dark green scales that flickered beneath the throat of the Huang Beast Snake, he immediately understood and could not help but blurt out, "Inky Flood Dragon Scale Snake!"    

    

After confirming the type of Desolate Beast Snake, Chu Yan's eyes flashed with excitement.    

    

Amongst the dire beasts, the Inky Flood Dragon Scaled Snake was also known for its indestructibility.    

    

However, it was indestructible. It only had the dark green scale at the bottom of its throat.    

    

Although it grew from the body of a dire beast, that piece of scale, which was called the black dragon scale crystal's, was considered one of the hardest materials among the three great families.    

    

"No wonder the spear did not pierce him. So it's a black dragon scale crystal. It seems that my luck is not too bad this time." Staring at the triangular head and the Black Scaled Snake's unfriendly eyes, Chu Yan could not help but let out a smile.    

    

The Inky Flood Dragon Scale Serpent lived in a dark and damp place. These kinds of places were usually located in the ditches, in the belly of the mountain, so it was not easy to find them.    

    

Furthermore, the black dragon scale crystal's position in the materials used to create the ingredients made this small piece of snake scale extremely precious. In the secular world, you couldn't even buy it if you wanted to, and only in the sect could you use the Sect Contribution Point to exchange.    

    

Of course, even if it was an exchange, the amount wasn't small.    

    

After all, this type of material, if properly used, could even raise the grade of the weapon by one level!    

    

"If I remember correctly, if we were to exchange this black dragon scale crystal in Star Pavilion, a group of required Sect Contribution Point would be able to directly exchange it for a finished product of a heptaprotic apparatus?"    

    

"Since there is a Inky Flood Dragon Scale Snake here, there must be a second one. The third one … if I'm lucky, I might have some unexpected harvests this time."    

    

As soon as he thought of this, Chu Yan's gaze once again locked onto that small piece of snake scale below the Black Scaled Snake's throat.    

    

Sensing Chu Yan's hostility, other than the part where its tail had wrapped around the stalagmite, the majority of the Black Scaled Snake's body was now stretched taut until it stood upright.    

    

Swish!    

    

Suddenly, the Inky Flood Dragon Scale Snake attacked Chu Yan once again.    

    

Chu Yan leaned to the side. When the Inky Flood Dragon Scale Serpent passed by him, a ring had already appeared in his hand.    

    

The bracelet was sharpened to perfection. It was the heptaprotic apparatus loot he had obtained from Mu Xiaodong, one of the Ten Great Evildoers.    

    

With a swoosh, the bracelet flashed and immediately cut the body of the snake apart.    

    

Chu Yan raised the Soul Locking Spear with his other hand and stabbed it into the severed part of the Black Scaled Snake's body. Immediately, he pushed the snake away and stuck it out of the snake's mouth.    

    

This Inky Flood Dragon Scaled Snake was instantly pierced through by Chu Yan. Its mouth was wide open, and it died a miserable death.    

    

Carefully peeling off the piece of black dragon scale crystal, and weighing it in his hand, Chu Yan nodded his head in satisfaction.    

    

"The Soul-Sealing Spear has a chance to become stronger this time."    

    

The size of the Wangnv Peak was beyond the imagination of ordinary people.    

    

Such a magnificent mountain peak could hold one to two hundred people. It would be a bit of an exaggeration to say that a drop of water was dropped into the ocean, but to say that a stone was thrown into a lake would be more or less the same.    

    

In addition to the complicated environment inside, although Chu Yan had the intention to look for disciples of the same sect, he didn't even see a single person four hours later, let alone one of the same sect.    

    

On the contrary, he killed another 11 Inky Flood Dragon Scale Serpents, and coincidentally gathered a group of black dragon scale crystal.    

    

"In that case, the moment we entered the mountain, we arrived at a different place on the mountain. "Since I haven't met anyone in so long, the situation should be similar to mine. If I'm trapped in an illusory magic array and have no way of breaking it, then the possibility of meeting someone else is even lower."    

    

Chu Yan muttered to himself for a moment, and continued walking forward.    

    

By relying on his perception that exceeded that of ordinary cultivators, he was able to see through the changes in the layers of rock and the depths of the stone wall and confirm that he was always going up, not aimlessly circling around an area.    

    

After four hours, Chu Yan had collected exactly two groups of black dragon scale crystal — — twenty-four of them.    

    

It was not an exaggeration to say that if two sets of black dragon scale crystal were to contribute to the exchange of contribution points, it would be enough to exchange for a set of fifth-grade sharp weapons, from the soles of their feet all the way to their teeth.    

    

However, Chu Yan had already made up his mind the moment he saw the Inky Flood Dragon Scale Snake: he wanted to use the Return to the Ruins Tower to raise his Soul-Sealing Spear by another level.    

    

Originally, the octadecyl apparatus's Soul Locking Spear would reach the peak of its power if it was upgraded by another level — — nine kinds of sharp instrument!    

    

If Chu Yan remembered correctly, other than Li Xiu who hadn't been using his weapon all this time, no one among the disciples of the Shattered Star Pavilion had ever possessed a nine kinds of sharp instrument.    

    

Forget about apprentices, there weren't even many outer or inner disciples who had nine kinds of sharp instrument s!    

    

There were more than four thousand outer sect disciples in Shattered Star Pavilion. It would be good if there were thirty people with nine kinds of sharp instrument.    

    

The inner sect disciples numbered more than a thousand, with a slightly higher percentage. However, there weren't many of them, and it was estimated that less than a hundred of them had nine kinds of sharp instrument s.    

    

And now, not only was Chu Yan about to obtain the strongest level of weapon in his Pulse Condensation Stage, this weapon was also personally crafted by him!
