Biochemical Martial Arts: Supreme Heavenly Venerate

Chapter 208 Fifth Realm Emperor Level (Three More for Monthly Pass)

Duan Pengxuan wondered what was inside the medical cabinet that Professor Han cared so much about.

He also raised his hand and, with a mighty burst of energy, reached toward the direction of the medical cabinet.

However, there were others besides him who were paying close attention to 'Professor Han'.

After all, among the many people present, only 'Professor Han' was wearing a set of Heavenly Demon Mecha, making him exceedingly conspicuous.

The one who had leaked the news of Qin Yan's cave dwelling was none other than an outer realm Heavenly Demon!

That demon dragon and Zhou Changgong also made their moves against the cabinet at the same time.

The powers of several people clashed in the air and instantly shattered the medical cabinet and the various spirit pill bottles within into tiny pieces, scattering countless powders all around.

"What a pity!" Professor Han, perhaps worried about being attacked from all sides, immediately retreated fifty meters away and said with regret, "Such a fine cabinet of Four Realms Nourishing Spirit Powder, and now more than half of it is wasted."

Upon hearing this, Duan Pengxuan's brow furrowed slightly.

Caution was his nature; he didn't dare to let his sense of smell loose, but judging from the scattered powder, it didn't seem to be anything particularly valuable.

But this was only relative to high-level Martial Cultivators like them.

The Four Realms Nourishing Spirit Powder, made from superior soul stones, was extremely effective in enhancing Divine Sense.

Moreover, all the numerous medical cabinets here were Magic Artifacts with excellent sealing effects, preserving these powders with abundant Spiritual Power for 3000 years.

This attracted a great crowd of Martial Cultivators who were now frantically lunging over, scrambling for these powders.

At this moment, however, Duan Pengxuan was in a standoff with Zhou Changgong and the demon dragon.

They all felt that the two formidable enemies in front of them were quite difficult to handle.

Among these two enemies, Duan Pengxuan had the highest cultivation, not only was he in the late stages of the Sixth Realm, but he also possessed a king-grade bloodline, the Titanium Golden Saber Dragon!

'Red Fire Burning Sky' Zhou Changgong was also very powerful, a quasi-Sixth Realm cultivator with an imperial-grade bloodline, wearing Heavenly Demon battle armor valued at at least 500,000 taels, and possessing a Seventh Realm 'Burning Blood Flame Dragon'.

In theory, his strength was the strongest, but the 'Burning Blood Flame Dragon' was not his own.

Since this battle dragon had not developed self-awareness, it not only took orders less nimbly but also couldn't exert its full combat power.

Even the weakest demon dragon should not be underestimated, this king-grade demon dragon had for some reason increased in strength significantly, already possessing a super king-grade bloodline, making its strength extra domineering. Coupled with its strong recovery power as a dragon-formed demon, its combat power was very considerable.

Just as the two men and one demon were in a standoff, Duan Pengxuan's attendant, Master Du, quietly dispelled the Dharma Seal he had formed with his hands and whispered, "My lord, there are no high-level Spirit Pills here, and I've already placed a mark on that Professor Han, he won't be able to escape."

Upon hearing this, Duan Pengxuan nodded slightly and immediately turned to walk out of 'Guangji Hall'.

What he desired was never the pills or Magic Artifacts, but the method to enter Limitless Saber Venerable's cave dwelling, 'Cloud Palace', and the disciple token in Qin Yan's possession—the 'Cloud Palace Jade Plaque'.

If there really were divine items like the 'Dragon Blood Destiny Pill' here, it might be worth a fight. But since there were none, it was unnecessary to waste any more time.

The demon dragon and Zhou Changgong had the same idea; they followed closely behind Duan Pengxuan, escaping in the direction deeper into the cave dwelling.

Lin Rui watched their retreating figures, the corners of his lips slightly upturned, "Let's go as well."

After he and Blood Blade left 'Guangji Hall', they didn't follow the same path as Duan Pengxuan and the demon dragon; instead, they headed towards another tunnel opposite the door.

Qin Yan's cave dwelling was circular overall, with two interconnecting passages in the middle, resembling a circle wrapped around a cross, forming a 'field' shape.

The path that Lin Rui was taking was the horizontal line in the middle of the cross.

His destination was opposite 'Guangji Hall'.

According to the professor's explorations, that side contained a large number of small caves, likely the dwellings of Qin Yan's disciples.

Qin Yan had taken in a great number of disciples during his lifetime, intending to transfer the martial arts left by Du Zunlong. However, like Qin Yan, all of these disciples died within this cave dwelling.

At this moment, Professor Han also followed, about thirty yards behind Lin Rui. They and Blood Blade accelerated like a gust of wind, leaving the martial cultivators from the rivers and lakes far behind.

Han Kedao (Burning City): They haven't followed, which troubles me. It's only been seven minutes.

Lin Rui looked at the message Professor Han had sent and raised an eyebrow slightly.

Gu Ying Tiandao (Lin Rui): Professor, you're getting anxious; don't forget our original intention.

Encased within his Mecha, Han Kedao's gaze hardened, followed by a bitter smile.

Indeed, he was anxious and had lost his usual composure.

They should be content if they could save Zhu Meng completely intact. The hope for the abyssal source material of Qin Yan's cave dwelling was slim to begin with. It would be best if they could obtain it, but if not, they should have the courage to let go and make a clean break.

After all these years mingling at the zenith of Heaven Extreme Star, he found that he wasn't even as composed as Lin Rui, an eighteen-year-old youth.

No wonder this kid could make a name for himself in such a short period; with such a state of mind and resourcefulness, naturally, everything he did turned out successfully.

Just then, Professor Han noticed two red dots suddenly appearing on the tactical situational map projected onto his retina from the inside of the Mecha.

Professor Han's eyes brightened instantly.

It was the demon dragon and Zhou Changgong. They ultimately couldn't resist following after, moving stealthily behind them.

Just as Professor Han was about to send a message, a third red dot appeared on his retina.

Signal Fire of the Siege (Han Kedao): Here they come! Duan Pengxuan followed as well, but his sidekick Zhang Chen and that Master Du were not with him; they must have gone to the main hall.

Lin Rui was not worried at all.

The two seventh-level demonic plants at the main hall were not as powerful as the slumbering demonic blood locust tree, yet their strength was by no means ordinary; they could reach an A-level in combat rating.

Acting as if he was unaware, he continued walking forward without any change in demeanor.

Just as he approached the area where the disciples resided, he was suddenly ambushed by two rampaging Heavenly Demon vines.

However, the reaction of Blood Blade was exceedingly swift; she brandished her saber energy and sliced the extending black vines cleanly from afar.

As if shocked by the encounter, the two Heavenly Demon vines retreated back into the ground after a brief contact.

And after entering the disciples' residence, Lin Rui and Professor Han split up and proceeded in separate directions.

This group of caves was vast, covering dozens of square kilometers—far larger than what Meng Weiyun had estimated—and its structure was incredibly complex, with more than a dozen layers stacked upon one another, housing over nine hundred caves of various sizes.

These caves, large and small—with the large spanning over a thousand square meters and the small ones around six to seven hundred—varied in size.

Lin Rui swiftly navigated through these caves by relying on the flying needles he dispatched.

He had only walked a short distance when he suddenly frowned.

Lin Rui could no longer sense the aura of that demonic dragon and Zhou Changgong; the two of them had actually left him behind and chased after Professor Han.

However, since Professor Han's ability to protect himself was very strong and they could communicate at any time through quantum messaging, Lin Rui didn't need to worry too much about him.

Lin Rui concentrated on searching within this disciples' residence.

There were quite a few treasures here; Lin Rui found more than a dozen complete high-level martial arts True Intent diagrams.

There were various sabers and swords among the Magic Artifacts, with most of them from the fourth realm and some from the fifth realm. However, Lin Rui and Blood Blade couldn't carry so much, so they only chose two of the best to take with them.

There were also some Spirit Pills, but these had not been stored in specialized medicine cabinets and had already lost their effectiveness, so they were not worth noticing.

The caves toward the north were increasingly spacious, with more exquisite decorations inside, likely the residences of high-ranking disciples.

Originally, small Arrays protected the outside of these caves, but after 3,000 years of the passage of time, these Arrays had already disintegrated.

Lin Rui walked into a cave with a doorplate reading "Inner Door Disciple Su Zhi".

As he entered, he saw a brownish-yellow scroll placed on a desk.

That was the Dragon Order secret martial skill 'Heavenly Origin Dragon Transformation' True Intent diagram that Bai Hao saw in Zhu Meng's dream!

The corners of Lin Rui's mouth lifted slightly, and he went over to collect the True Intent diagram.

This True Intent diagram had aged significantly; if Lin Rui had arrived a few hundred years later, it might have disintegrated completely.

The desk beneath the True Intent diagram could no longer hold it up; just as Lin Rui picked up the diagram, the desk crumbled into dust and scattered away.

At that moment, a wave of black fog spread silently through the air, quickly covering both inside and outside the cave in the blink of an eye.

Lin Rui tensed, rapidly turning around while his hand went to his saber, as he looked towards a patch of crimson flames and a colossal figure standing outside the cave, so tall at six or seven Zhang that it could only fit outside.

"Red Fire Burning Sky Zhou Changgong? No—"

Lin Rui squinted, "You're not Zhou Changgong, you're the Inspector Duan Pengxuan!"

"You may consider me Zhou Changgong!"

Duan Pengxuan, with an indifferent look on his face, emerged from the thick fog. His entire body was also engulfed in crimson flames, almost identical to Zhou Changgong.

Lin Rui looked at the string of fire beads worn on Duan Pengxuan's right hand.

It was a very powerful Magic Artifact, and this man was apparently ready to use these fire beads to imitate Zhou Changgong's method of killing people.

Yet, with a subtly raised corner of his mouth and a meaningful smile, Lin Rui said, "It seems that what the extraterritorial Heavenly Demon said wasn't wrong, you indeed have a problem, Duan Pengxuan. Are you planning to silence me to death as if by Zhou Changgong's hand?"

Duan Pengxuan couldn't be bothered with Lin Rui's words; in his eyes, the Defense Envoy of Wang City was already a dead man.

This young upstart had not only caused heavy casualties among his troops but also forced him to kill!

Experience tales with My Virtual Library Empire

He reached out his hand to grab Lin Rui, causing the temperature around Lin Rui to skyrocket instantly, nearly self-igniting—this was exactly the effect of Zhou Changgong's 'Burning Blood Divine Palm'.

But in that instant, Blood Blade, who had been standing emotionlessly behind Lin Rui, suddenly drew her blade.

In that moment, a bright light as scorching as the sun shone in the space, forcing Duan Pengxuan's eyes to squint slightly.

He also sensed an incomparably strong will descending upon this place, twisting the heavens and the earth, and altering the rules.

Could it be the Abyss?

Just as Duan Pengxuan's consciousness wavered, he saw a saber light like a streak of silk slashing towards him.

In that moment, Duan Pengxuan's heart felt as cold as an ice cellar.

He realized that this Blood Blade beside Lin Rui was not only in the fifth realm but was—in terms of ranking—an Emperor!
