Chapter 359: True Dragon Divine Medicine

The Myriad Dragon Nest was filled with numerous dragon caves. Myriad dragon energy surged, divine light flashed, and ancient coffins floated, indicating the awakening of primordial creatures.

Ye Fan felt a chill run from head to toe. He sensed immense danger, as if a true dragon had pinned him down, threatening to crack his bones and tear his flesh.

He immediately conjured his Black Jade Platform and lunged forward, forming a large hand to pull out the primordial divine medicine and escape. However, to his surprise, the roots of this sacred plant were incredibly resilient; he couldn't pull it out at all. Ye Fan's expression changed. While the divine medicine was undoubtedly precious, life was even more so. He didn't want to lose his life for it, or everything would truly be for naught.

Piercing, soul-stirring screams echoed from the Myriad Dragon Nest. Tu Fei and Pang Bo, who were some distance away, felt their hairs stand on end, let alone Ye Fan. At that moment, his scalp tingled with numbness as a flood of murderous intent swept over him, powerful enough to crush the very world. Without the Cauldron of Myriad Things Mother Qi, this murderous intent alone could have pierced him. It was hard to imagine the power of such a creature.

In a quick glance, he saw the ancient coffin still floating amidst the divine source piles, and the two-meter-long block of peerless divine source, which sealed a human-like creature, remained unbroken. He knew that what he saw was only a corner of the Myriad Dragon Nest; there must be other primordial creatures, and the terrifying screams were coming from elsewhere.

Ye Fan gritted his teeth, lunged towards the divine medicine, and reached out to pull it. He realized his materialized hand was useless against this sacred plant, which naturally absorbed and depleted divine power. Suddenly, the entire divine medicine trembled, and golden light flashed. The fruit it bore struggled continuously, as if trying to break free.

Ye Fan's eyes widened. This primordial divine medicine was truly miraculous; the golden fruit, shaped like a small dragon, seemed alive, struggling back and forth. It resembled cast gold, lifelike and dazzling. The translucent, radiant dragon pearl in its mouth suddenly shot out. The intoxicating fragrance was irresistibly alluring, making it impossible to resist. Even someone as strong-willed as Ye Fan was almost lost to it.

He quickly dodged to the side, then used his hand to guide and neutralize the dragon pearl's power, which was strong enough to pierce through ordinary flesh. With a subtle gesture of his palm and fingers, Ye Fan drew an arc infused with Dao power, fixing the dragon pearl in mid-air. He quickly retrieved a small white jade cauldron, opened its lid, and put the pearl inside.

The cauldron lid snapped shut. He let out a long breath, knowing that divine medicine had to be sealed in flawless jade vessels, or it would simply dissolve, leaving nothing behind.

After only a momentary delay, the shrill sounds drew several miles closer, about to burst out of the Myriad Dragon Nest and reach them. Ye Fan quickly reached for the primordial divine medicine, intending to pluck it, but something astonishing occurred. Streams of myriad dragon energy coiled around the primordial divine medicine, which then transformed into a golden light and vanished underground.

"Whoosh!" Ye Fan's fingertips brushed against the small-dragon-shaped golden fruit. It coughed out nine golden droplets of liquid, then flashed with light and completely vanished. His efforts were in vain, and Ye Fan felt an urge to curse. The divine medicine could actually move, which was beyond his expectations. More precisely, it was only after expelling the dragon pearl that it broke free and became capable of flight.

With a flash of light, a small jade bottle appeared in his hand, into which he collected the nine golden drops of liquid coughed out by the small dragon, not allowing them to touch the ground. Simultaneously, he struck the ground, cracking its surface and releasing a surge of myriad dragon energy. Unfortunately, the divine medicine had vanished without a trace, its whereabouts unknown.

"Splat!" Ye Fan struck again, sending dirt and rocks splattering. Divine light shot skyward, so dazzling that he couldn't open his eyes; it was as if a sun was buried beneath the earth. Indeed, there was a divine source underground, as large as a basin and even more scorching than a divine sun. Undoubtedly, the divine medicine was able to move and was drawing its essence from here.

"Leafy, run!" Pang Bo shouted."The big one is about to burst out!" the Black Emperor roared."It's less than 500 meters from you!" Tu Fei exclaimed.

He didn't need them to shout; Ye Fan had already sensed it. Inside the Myriad Dragon Nest, a surging ocean of power seemed to erupt. He had never felt such terrifying murderous intent before. It was so powerful that his body trembled uncontrollably, and even the Myriad Things Mother Qi hanging from the cauldron above his head vibrated.

Ye Fan swept his sleeve, collected the divine source block, and conjured the Black Jade Platform, instantly vanishing as he began traversing the void.

"Crack!" The Black Jade Platform left behind instantly shattered, struck and broken into dust by an invisible murderous intent.

"Bang!" Several miles away, Ye Fan abruptly fell out. If he hadn't had a premonition of danger and hidden inside the cauldron, he would have been smashed to pieces the moment his void traversal was interrupted. Only a sacred object like the Myriad Things Mother Qi could protect him completely, impervious to sudden collapses in the void.

"Quick, go!" Ahead, Pang Bo, Tu Fei, and the Black Dog shouted. They were not far from him and had already prepared the Black Jade Platform for void traversal. Ye Fan used the Old Madman's footwork to instantly rush onto the black jade platform. Simultaneously, the Black Emperor conjured source energy and activated Dao patterns. The moment the void gate opened, Ye Fan hastily looked back and saw the creature streaking towards them from several miles away.

It was enveloped by a divine halo, appearing as majestic as a deity. Its long purple hair obscured most of its face, revealing only a pair of knife-sharp purple eyes. It had no arms, only a pair of golden divine wings that appeared to be forged from divine gold. Its lower body was a snake's torso, over ten meters long with gleaming black scales. It flew through the air, faster than lightning.

Ye Fan brought them into the cauldron, and at the same moment, the void closed, making them vanish from their original spot. Behind them, the primordial creature instantly closed in by a mile. It let out an enraged roar and exhaled a mouthful of vital energy. With a "bang," the Black Jade Platform was shattered by an invisible wave of destructive energy.

"Bang!" Above the abyss, the Cauldron of Myriad Things Mother Qi fell out. The group was disheveled but unharmed. Simultaneously, they saw the ice palace again, with the peerless beauty sleeping peacefully within, floating amidst the surging dragon energy.

"Why did I see her move again?" The Black Dog quickly took a few steps back."Seventy or eighty thousand years have passed; she can't possibly still be alive. Quickly conjure the Black Jade Platform!" Tu Fei rebuked, urging it to act.

A loud roar shook the ten-thousand-meter-deep abyss as the primordial creature prepared to rush up. "Is there any justice?! In the blink of an eye, he's almost upon us! His speed is absurdly fast, barely slower than our void traversal!"

With a flash of light, the group vanished again. This time, they reappeared at the underground palace exit, not due to a failed void traversal, but because the ancient sacred land's array patterns blocked their path, preventing them from crossing further. They quickly found their original passage, rushed to the surface, and emerged in the great snowy mountains. With almost no hesitation, they began traversing the void once more. This time, they traversed a full four thousand miles before finally stopping.

"The Primordial Royal Family is too terrifying!" Pang Bo exclaimed, sitting on the snow with lingering fear."This definitely isn't a primordial king," the Black Dog said, shaking its head. "When a true king emerges, millions will fall, and blood will flow like rivers; their power is unimaginable.""You wretched dog, you're too wicked! The primordial kings are so powerful, yet you instigated Little Leafy to pluck divine medicine?" Tu Fei scolded it."The primordial kings certainly won't emerge; they're in eternal slumber. Only their guardians will be awakened!" The Black Dog offered a pile of excuses. "Besides," it continued, "the Myriad Dragon Nest is so vast, and it was several miles from the exit. It was worth a gamble, wasn't it a success?"

Ye Fan still felt lingering fear. If just the guardian was this powerful, how strong were the creatures within the floating ancient coffins and the peerless divine source blocks? Although he regretted not being able to pluck the sacred plant, he had gained a considerable amount, making the trip worthwhile.

Ye Fan took out the small white jade cauldron and the jade bottle. Even though they were tightly sealed, a refreshing fragrance still permeated the air. Then, he retrieved the divine source block, from which ten thousand divine lights burst forth, illuminating the ice plain.

"The gains are immense!" Pang Bo and Tu Fei were astonished, and the Black Dog was practically drooling."Wretched dog, don't get any bad ideas!" Tu Fei warned. "This is for Ye Fan to break the curse. If you dare to snatch it, the three of us will carve you up alive and eat dog meat.""Damn it, is this Emperor such a person?""Of course you are!" Tu Fei scoffed.

They took turns observing, marveling at the crystal-clear, sparkling, and intoxicatingly fragrant dragon pearl. The nine golden drops of dragon liquid were equally miraculous, resembling nine tiny dragons, their exquisite aroma permeating one's very bones.

"It's truly a peerless divine medicine, its value immeasurable!""It's astonishing that the fruit produced by that divine medicine was a dragon and a dragon pearl!"

None of them could estimate its true value, but they felt it was certainly far more precious than the incomplete divine medicine acquired in the Holy City, as this was a complete pearl-fruit.

"It's a pity we couldn't pluck that dragon fruit, otherwise the great Sacred Lords and Imperial Sovereigns would have fought fiercely over it.""This is absolutely the only divine medicine that could be harvested in this era."

The Black Dog watched eagerly, but Tu Fei wouldn't let it get close, claiming its character was rotten and he didn't trust it. Ultimately, Ye Fan held it, allowing the dog to observe it closely. The Black Dog drooled profusely, while Tu Fei held its neck tightly, just in case.

"Primordial divine medicines are exceedingly rare. Each plant represents the life of a peerless master, and to those who need it, they are even more valuable than Extreme Dao Saint Weapons.""Putting aside the Dragon Pearl Fruit, just these nine drops of dragon liquid have an astonishing origin. They must be the true blood coughed out by that small dragon, its very essence.""In truth, if one could cultivate a divine medicine and keep it alive by their side forever, it would be even more desirable than an Extreme Dao Saint Weapon."

As the Black Dog uttered these words, its drool melted a large patch of snow on the ground. If Tu Fei hadn't held it down firmly, it would likely have already lunged forward. Ye Fan's heart stirred. The benefits of cultivating a primordial divine medicine by his side would indeed be boundless. Unfortunately, it was almost impossible to achieve; even the various sacred lands couldn't do it, unable to find an immortal root.

"When my Sacred Body reaches grand completion, I will definitely return and plant that divine medicine by my side.""A grand completed Sacred Body can live for tens of thousands of years. If you then cultivate another primordial divine medicine, the people of the various sacred lands will surely weep and curse you daily behind your back."The Black Dog drooled again, saying, "Cultivating a divine medicine is like gaining an extra life. A grand completed Sacred Body could absolutely challenge a Great Emperor.""Ancient Sages could open up their own minor worlds; cultivating a primordial divine medicine there would be most suitable."

Suddenly, Pang Bo was startled and looked towards the sky, saying, "Someone's coming." More than a dozen women, as pure and beautiful as celestial beings, flew through the air. Their purple robes fluttered, making them appear exceptionally ethereal amidst the ice and snow.

"The Saintess of Purple Mansion is said to enter this ice plain. Could it be her?""Yes, it's someone from Purple Mansion."

Tu Fei immediately burst into laughter and said, "Brothers, what are we waiting for? Today, we must hunt down the Saintess of Purple Mansion!""This Emperor's wish is about to come true: to take a Saint Son or Saintess as a human pet!" the Black Emperor howled.

Anyone who heard their words would surely be dumbfounded. These four individuals were incredibly audacious, and together, they were an absolute menace.
