âNot good!â
The Dragon Race girl, Jin Shan, turned pale.
If the templeâs formation disappeared, the Slaughter Demons could rush in.
As for Ye Tian, although she previously believed in his immense strength, the recent self-destruction of so many Slaughter Demons made it uncertain if he could survive.
If Ye Tian died, she would be doomed.
The only good news was that the Innate Deity targeted Ye Tian, temporarily sparing her from the Slaughter Demonsâ attacks.
At present, they just needed to confirm if Ye Tian was still alive.
Boom! A powerful aura emanated from the center of the explosion.
Next, countless fragments of Slaughter Demons flew out.
âInnate Deity, these Slaughter Demons are too weak to threaten me. Even if they all self-destruct, they canât break through my defense!â
Ye Tian emerged with his saber, completely unscathed.
Clearly, the Slaughter Demons couldnât harm him.
At this moment, the Innate Deity was stunned, eyes filled with fear.
âYouâre very strong. I admit defeat. Iâm willing to offer you some treasures. Thereâs no need for us to kill each other!â The Innate Deity pleaded.
âIf I kill you, all your treasures will naturally be mine!â Ye Tian responded with a smile.
Swish! The Innate Deity tried to flee, manipulating the Slaughter Demons to stop Ye Tian.
However, he grossly underestimated Ye Tianâs strength.
âSpatial Imprisonment!â
The void instantly turned into a swamp, making it difficult for the Innate Deity to escape.
âHeavenly Moon Saber, die!â
The saber energy of the Heavenly Moon Saber pierced through space, instantly impaling the Innate Deity.
In the next moment, the deity turned into a corpse, falling to the ground.
Although the Slaughter Demons lost control, they reverted to their nature, still attacking Ye Tian.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Ye Tian slayed a group with each strike, quickly annihilating all the Slaughter Demons.
After dispatching the Slaughter Demons, Ye Tian approached the Innate Deityâs corpse and took his spatial storage equipment.
As for the treasures inside, he didnât have time to check them now.
Swish! Ye Tian teleported next to the Dragon Race girl, Princess Jin Shan, and said, âYou must be Princess Jin Shan of the Dragon Race.â
Jin Shan, both curious and fearful, stared at Ye Tian and asked softly, âWho are you? Did my father send you to rescue me? I sense the Parent Dragon Blood Jade Pendant on you, which has always been with my father.â
âThatâs right!â
Ye Tian confirmed. âYour father indeed sent me to rescue you, but itâs merely a transaction between us. As for who I am, itâs no secret. I am the Prince of Ten Thousand Laws from the Human Race. Letâs go, Iâll take you out!â
âHuman Race, Prince of Ten Thousand Laws!â
Jin Shanâs pupils contracted sharply.
As a God level herself, she had naturally heard of the Prince of Ten Thousand Laws, frequently from the high-ranking members of the Dragon Race.
The Dragon Race even assessed that the Prince of Ten Thousand Laws had likely reached the Supreme level and was not just any Supreme level but one of the top in that realm.
She considered herself among the top Great Gods in the Dragon Race, but compared to a Supreme level, the difference was vast.
âNo wonder he could sweep through those Slaughter Demons!â Jin Shan thought to herself.
âPrince of Ten Thousand Laws, could we stay in the Twilight Forbidden Zone a little longer?â Jin Shan asked.
âNo.â
Ye Tian replied sternly, âI have limited time and canât stay in the Twilight Forbidden Zone. I must take you back to the Golden Blood Dragon Hall. If any accidents occur, I wonât be able to explain!â
Jin Shan hesitated, seemingly conflicted.
Suddenly, she spoke, âPrince of Ten Thousand Laws, I didnât come to the Twilight Forbidden Zone on a whim. I learned of a great opportunity here. I didnât want to disclose it to the other princes of the Dragon Race, so I brought a group of elite God level subordinates. But the dangers of the Twilight Forbidden Zone far exceeded my expectations. All my subordinates perished, and I exhausted most of my life-saving treasures. But if I donât seize this great opportunity, I wonât be able to forgive myself! I can promise that if you help me, weâll split the opportunity evenly. What do you think?â
âWhat kind of opportunity?â Ye Tian asked calmly.
âWorld Source Stones!â Jin Shan replied.
âWhat? World Source Stones? Are you serious?â Ye Tian was visibly moved.
World Source Stones were nearly useless to Dominators and Supremes, merely a pile of worthless rocks. However, for those at the Great God level, they were extremely valuable, even priceless.
Great God level cultivators needed to open up a dantian world to reach the Planetary System level. The quality of the world they created varied, and typically, the worlds they opened were quite ordinary. Special items could enhance the worldâs quality.
For example, Ye Tianâs Ancient Chaos Tree or the World Tree could both help in creating a world and improving its quality.
World Source Stones were also such items. They could stabilize the worldâs foundation and enhance its essence, making the dantian world indestructible.
It was rumored that some worlds, fortified with a large number of World Source Stones, could even withstand attacks from Supremes without being destroyed.
However, World Source Stones were incredibly rare. One or two stones were practically useless, and the number of Great God level individuals attempting to reach the Planetary System level was so vast that it was nearly impossible to preserve any World Source Stones.
Take the Human Race, for instance. The number of Great God level individuals needing World Source Stones was countless. Even with his status, Ye Tian found it difficult to acquire a significant number of them, and the few he did obtain were not very useful to him.
To obtain a large quantity of World Source Stones, one had to rely on luck.
âHow many World Source Stones are there?â Ye Tian asked.
âA lot!â Jin Shan replied. âEnough for both of us to use, but the place is very dangerous. I canât get them on my own, so I need your help!â
âHow did you find out about this?â Ye Tian asked again.
âActually, this secret isnât much of a secret to the high-ranking members of the Dragon Race. However, the Twilight Forbidden Zone is extremely dangerous. If the Dragon Race were to send a large number of God level individuals to mine the stones, the losses would be severe.
I found out from my fatherâs secret archives and thought that with my strength and a large group of elite guards, I should be able to obtain the World Source Stones.
But I didnât expect the dangers of the Twilight Forbidden Zone to be beyond my imagination. All my subordinates perished, and I used up most of my life-saving treasures.
But if I donât get those World Source Stones, I wonât be able to forgive myself! I promise, if you help me, weâll split the stones evenly. What do you say?â
Ye Tian now understood.
In short, Princess Jin Shan had overestimated her own abilities and underestimated the dangers.
âAlright, Iâll go with you, but I want seventy percent of the World Source Stones. Otherwise, the deal is off!â Ye Tian stated.
âWhat? Seventy percent?â Jin Shan frowned deeply.
If Ye Tian took seventy percent, she would only get thirty percent. That was far too little.
But if she didnât agree, she wouldnât dare to go! Now that she knew the dangers of the Twilight Forbidden Zone, if she went there alone, she was almost certain to die.
âAlright, I agree!â Jin Shan nodded in agreement.
âGood, then lead the way!â Ye Tian smiled.
He felt this deal was very worthwhile. Not only could he obtain a large amount of Golden Blood Jade Liquid from the Dragon Race, but he also had a chance to acquire a significant quantity of World Source Stones.
If he obtained a large number of World Source Stones, he could elevate the quality of his dantian world to a very high level.
If he gained other opportunities, he might even improve further.
In short, the more treasures that could enhance the worldâs quality, the better.
Immediately, Jin Shan led Ye Tian deeper into the Twilight Forbidden Zone.
Along the way, they encountered many Slaughter Demons, but Ye Tian easily dispatched them.
At one point, Jin Shan suddenly spoke up, âPrince of Ten Thousand Laws, according to the Dragon Raceâs information, there are undead creatures ahead! These undead are fragmented souls trapped here, fused with corpses over countless years, forming a different kind of life.
These undead creatures are at the God level, but their bodies are the corpses of past Planetary System level, Galaxy level, Universal Gods, and even Dominators. They might retain a small portion of their previous power, allowing them to briefly unleash terrifying combat strength. They are even more dangerous than Slaughter Demons.
Initially, I didnât think much of it, but after seeing the power of the Slaughter Demons, I believe these undead might be very tough to deal with!â
âLeave it to me!â Ye Tian said confidently, moving ahead while Jin Shan followed cautiously, fearing a sneak attack by the undead.
After walking for a while, Ye Tianâs eyebrows twitched, and he looked towards a certain direction.
âThere should be an undead creature approaching!â
Hearing Ye Tianâs words, Jin Shan tensed up.
