Chapter 3663: Soul Crystal, Human-faced Flood Dragon (Not Available Today)

"Qingfeng, remove the Jade Soul Crystal vein," Wang Changsheng ordered. With the Jade Soul Crystal, the clan members could cultivate the "Grand Void Soul Forging Art."

Wang Qingfeng flew out of the Green Lotus. He flipped his right hand, and with a flash of golden light, the Jinli Blade appeared. This incomplete Xuantian treasure, given to him by Wang Changsheng, could enhance his strength; Dong Xueli had received the incomplete Xuantian treasure, the Cold Moon Sword. Wang Qingfeng gripped the Jinli Blade with both hands and vertically slashed at the void. A towering golden blade light swept forth, heading straight for the ground. With a thunderous roar, the immense blade light struck the ground, tearing it open and creating an extraordinarily long and wide fissure.

Wang Qingfeng swung the Jinli Blade, sending beams of golden blade light towards the ground. After a series of massive explosions, the peak slowly collapsed, filling the air with dust. Wang Qingfeng then conjured the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, collecting the peak and leaving a massive pit in the ground. He flew down into the pit, carefully investigating to confirm that the Jade Soul Crystal vein had been relocated. Only then did he return to the deck of the Green Lotus.

As Wang Qingfeng was about to steer the Green Lotus away, Wang Qingshan stopped him. Wang Qingshan raised his right hand, and a yellow light shot out, disappearing into the ground. It was the Stone Man. During his expedition to other realms, he had acquired many rare metals and exotic stones, which he gave to the Stone Man to refine. It had successfully advanced to the Mahayana stage.

A moment later, the Stone Man emerged from underground, holding a black ore the size of a millstone. The surface of the black ore had tiny holes, as if it had been gnawed by insects. The Stone Man tossed the black ore to Wang Qingshan. Wang Qingshan caught it, feeling its considerable weight, then immediately handed it to Wang Changsheng.

"There are soul power fluctuations; it should be related to soul power," Wang Chan speculated.

Wang Changsheng carefully examined the black ore, a look of recollection appearing on his face. "Mihun Crystal!" Wang Changsheng recognized the material. It had been mentioned in a jade slip from the Nine Flames Immortal Palace as an excellent material for refining soul-type immortal artifacts. He wondered how a Mihun Crystal came to be here. Was there a Mihun Crystal vein, or did it appear here by accident?

"Qingshan, have it go down and search for more Mihun Crystals!" Wang Changsheng told Wang Qingshan. Wang Qingshan acknowledged, then gave the Stone Man its orders. A bright yellow light emanated from the Stone Man's body as it submerged underground.

Wang Yingjie, Wang Chuanming, and others all began to investigate the underground conditions, hoping to find more Mihun Crystals. More than five hours later, the Stone Man returned to the surface, its hands empty. Wang Yingjie and the others had found nothing either.

"It seems this Mihun Crystal accidentally ended up here, perhaps brought by a demonic beast," Wang Ruyan speculated. "Perhaps a high-level demonic beast accidentally consumed the Mihun Crystal and was killed upon arrival, or perhaps the aftermath of a battle brought a piece of Mihun Crystal here." One thing was certain: Mihun Crystals existed within the Immortal Realm Fragment.

Profound Soul Divine Crystals, used for refining soul-type treasures, were incredibly precious. Wang Changsheng had fought against many Mahayana cultivators, and only Tong Shan possessed a soul-attacking treasure; none of the other Mahayana cultivators did. This showed just how rare Profound Soul Divine Crystals were. Mihun Crystal, a material for refining soul-type immortal artifacts, was naturally even more valuable.

Wang Changsheng nodded. Just as he was about to speak, he took out the Monster Seeking Mirror. He cast a spell into it, and the mirror's surface shimmered with countless profound runes. These runes swirled and coalesced into a pointer, which spun rapidly before pointing southeast. Wang Tun Tian's eyes glowed with dazzling yellow light as he looked towards the southeast.

"A Human-Faced Flood Dragon, a million miles away," Wang Tun Tian said, his voice heavy. During their last entry into the Immortal Realm Fragment, Wang Changsheng had encountered two Human-Faced Flood Dragons. Initially, when facing a mid-grade eighth-rank Human-Faced Flood Dragon, he could only flee. Later, after acquiring the incomplete Xuantian treasure, he encountered a low-grade eighth-rank Human-Faced Flood Dragon and managed to kill it.

"A Human-Faced Flood Dragon! Let's go investigate," Wang Changsheng ordered. Wang Qingjing possessed a flood dragon body, and having him devour the Human-Faced Flood Dragon would benefit his advancement.

Wang Qingfeng formed a hand seal, and the Green Lotus glowed with dazzling green light, soaring towards the southeast. Not long after, a huge ball of crimson fire flared brightly in the sky, faintly accompanied by dragon roars. A short, stout old man in a red robe flew from a distance, looking panicked. His right leg was missing, and his aura was weak. Judging by his aura, he was clearly a Mahayana cultivator.

"Fellow Daoists, save me!" the red-robed old man cried out upon seeing Wang Changsheng and the others. Wang Changsheng frowned. "Didn't the Immortal Realm Fragment appear in the Xuanling Continent? We didn't detect any other Mahayana cultivators! Could it be a Mahayana cultivator passing through the Xuanling Continent who entered the Immortal Realm Fragment either just before or just after us?"

Above the red-robed old man, the void rippled, and a gigantic dragon claw appeared, striking down at him. Before the dragon claw could fully descend, the surrounding void rippled, as if the entire space was imprisoned. "No..." the red-robed old man shrieked in despair. The dragon claw easily shattered his defenses, crushing him into a pulp. As a miniature Nascent Soul tried to escape his body, a golden ray of light descended from the sky, enveloped the miniature Nascent Soul, and swept it into the mouth of a massive golden flood dragon, where it vanished.

The golden flood dragon's head bore a grim, male human face. Judging by its aura, it was unmistakably an eighth-rank top-grade demonic beast. "It's really you!" Wang Changsheng's expression turned cold, his face filled with killing intent. They had been chased by this very Human-Faced Flood Dragon previously. Back then, it was only a mid-grade eighth-rank beast; over ten thousand years, it had advanced to top-grade eighth-rank.

"It's you. Last time, you managed to escape, but this time it won't be so easy," the Human-Faced Flood Dragon uttered in human speech, its tone icy.

"Ninth Uncle, let us handle it," Wang Qingshan volunteered. With his mid-Mahayana cultivation, perfected spiritual domain, and an opened Aperture, he felt confident enough to face an eighth-rank top-grade Human-Faced Flood Dragon.

"Count me in!" Wang Mengbin chuckled.

"I'll participate too," Wang Yidao said.

"Qingfeng and Hongxue, you both join in too! Don't be careless," Wang Changsheng instructed. He was no longer who he once was and didn't put an eighth-rank top-grade Human-Faced Flood Dragon in his eyes. He was confident that Wang Qingshan and the others could handle it together.

"Count me in too!" Ci Lei volunteered, also wishing to contribute. Wang Changsheng nodded, signaling them to make their move.

Wang Mengbin formed a hand seal, and a world-shaking thunderclap echoed from high above. A massive thundercloud appeared in the sky, accompanied by flashes of lightning and booming thunder. Tens of thousands of thick silver lightning bolts struck down with astonishing might. The void vibrated and distorted as numerous green flying swords materialized. These swords coalesced into a river of green swords, surging towards the Human-Faced Flood Dragon. Liu Hongxue formed a hand seal, and giant crimson fireballs emerged from the void, hurtling towards the Human-Faced Flood Dragon. Wang Yidao, Wang Qingfeng, and Ci Lei also made their moves, attacking the Human-Faced Flood Dragon. The Human-Faced Flood Dragon dared not be careless. It let out a sky-shattering roar, and a gigantic true dragon phantom appeared in the void above its head.
