The voice... While Hao Ren was somewhat surprised, a sturdy figure leaped up from the center of the platform.

Su Han gently waved her hand and retrieved her emerald jade sword.

"Three peak Qian-grade!" Qiuniu's thunderous voice seemed to carry some surprise.

If his level hadn't been diminished, even a hundred peak Qian-grades wouldn't have fazed him. However, these past few days were the nadir of his strength; it was precisely because his spiritual energy wasn't flowing smoothly that he had closed himself off in Jiulong Palace to practice...

"You little rascal! You didn’t even give a heads-up before coming to Jiulong Palace to take risks!" A streak of white sword light shot straight towards Hao Ren’s forehead.

Hao Ren hurriedly raised both hands, using his palms to grip the sword light and then immediately absorb and convert it.

The third cultivator that suddenly appeared was none other than Zhao Kuo!

He originally wouldn’t have been at Jiulong Palace, but upon hearing from Zhao Yanzi that Hao Ren had gone there, he worried that Hao Ren might die inside Jiulong Palace. In his anxiety, he forced the three Dragon Palaces to cooperate with Donghai Dragon Palace and manifest Jiulong Palace together; then, pushing himself to his limit, he struck a sword, breaking through Jiulong Palace's barrier and charging in alone.

He found Yuanlong Hall and noticed Su Han’s and Hao Ren’s footprints near the wet mud around it, so he chased after them up Sky Tower.

In fact, Zhao Kuo was only slightly behind Hao Ren and Su Han; however, with Sky Tower being boundless and shrouded in mist, neither side had seen each other.

When Zhao Kuo approached the top of Sky Tower, he suddenly saw an emerald jade sword falling from above. Knowing that a fight was already underway up there, he hastily threw out a steel ball to bounce back the jade sword and then rushed upward with great speed.

Now that he saw Hao Ren unharmed, Zhao Kuo felt somewhat relieved but also incredibly annoyed at the same time.

Hao Ren was Donghai Dragon Palace's son-in-law and a general of Donghai!

If Donghai Dragon Palace lost its general, it wouldn't be too bad, but if Zhao Yanzi didn’t have Hao Ren, that would make her a widow!

Thinking about Zhao Yanzi’s anxiousness inside the palace while he risked his life to break into Jiulong Palace and found Hao Ren and Su Han together, Zhao Kuo was furious.

Your life isn’t important, but my A Zi's happiness is!

If not for the enemy at hand, Zhao Kuo would have loved nothing more than to cut Hao Ren down with a sword!

However, though he raged and ranted, knowing that Hao Ren’s fate was unclear, even disregarding Zhao Yanzi’s feelings, he had come to save Hao Ren!

After all, Hao Ren had saved him several times and helped him repeatedly; for this favor, Zhao Kuo intended to repay it.

If not, a reckless son-in-law like this dying would be no great loss; A Zi could still find another! Zhao Kuo absolutely didn’t believe that Zhao Yanzi’s issue could only be resolved by returning the Heavenly Dragon Pill.

Hao Ren watched as Zhao Kuo's expression changed repeatedly and wondered what was going on under his dark, stern face.

But regardless of how it turned out, he really did owe Zhao Yanzi for taking this risk at Jiulong Palace.

"If you want to fight me, first deal with him," Su Han coldly looked at the nostril-flaring Zhao Kuo and pointed her jade sword at Qiuniu up in the sky.

"I’ll settle accounts with you outside!" Zhao Kuo gritted his teeth and shot a sentence at Hao Ren before angrily glancing at Su Han.

In his view, if Su Han hadn't incited Hao Ren, how would he dare to enter the Dragon Nine Palaces, a forbidden area for dragons

Hao Ren was Zhao Yanzi's fiancé, yet Su Han kept flirting with him, clearly harboring ill intentions.

Su Han was a fourth-tier examiner in the Dragon God Temple, responsible for overseeing dragon affairs in the East Sea region, which to some extent constrained the East Sea Dragon Palace. Therefore, Zhao Kuo wasn't very fond of her!

Whoosh...

A dragon claw pounced towards them.

Black ripples flickered around this claw.

Su Han raised the Jadeite Sword, and within a thousand meters, everything suddenly turned white with frost!

Even Zhao Kuo felt an icy chill that made him shiver.

Whizz...

Hao Ren released 40,960 sword beams. Using Zhao Haoran's millennium power, he couldn’t maintain it for too long and had to find an opportunity to unleash his full strength for a decisive strike!

Bang!

Similarly, over 40,000 sword beams surrounded Zhao Kuo’s body.

Hao Ren discovered that Zhao Kuo was also at the peak of the Heaven Rank and had broken through recently too!

The combined might of over 80,000 sword beams, along with Su Han's emerald sword glowing green, attacked Zhu Nu’s dragon claw.

If Zhu Nu’s cultivation level were restored, there would be a thousand or ten thousand methods for him to annihilate these three arrogant dragon cultivators. But now he could only muster less than 10% of his strength and couldn’t utilize most of his abilities, so he resorted to launching black sound waves and claw strikes!

Princess Zhen had chosen a day that hit Zhu Nu’s weak spot perfectly! Yet Zhu Nu hadn't expected them to find him here.

All his magic treasures and powers were unavailable to him. He was almost back to when he first started cultivation!

Bang...

Zhu Nu's single claw knocked away the 80,000 sword beams as well as Su Han’s frosty Jadeite Sword.

Fighting three peak Heaven Rank cultivators in his weakest state and still managing to force Hao Ren and others back continuously revealed just how formidable the Ancestor Dragon Zhu Nu was!

Zhao Kuo originally didn't want to fight against Zhu Nu, but now he had no choice but to grit his teeth and see this battle through.

Sword Formation!

Ten-Faced Ambush Array!

Hao Ren’s Sword Formations surrounded the platform from all directions.

Zhao Kuo condensed sword beams, summoning a Black Dragon Spear with his hand. Over 40,000 sword beams converged on this pitch-black spear, making it gleam brilliantly.

Su Han's hands shifted through sword formations, and suddenly, snowflakes began to float in this boundless void. She had refined her cultivation method to its peak level and combined it with her Dryn-level peak realm; the power of this combination was formidable!

"Hahaha… Could I, Qiu Niu, be defeated by these three young brats Princess Zhen, this little sky demon, is truly a mastermind!"

The floating Qiu Niu suddenly exuded an overwhelming presence!

It was like the sound of divine music ascending to heaven; Hao Ren, Zhao Kuo, and Su Han all seemed to hear an illusion.

"Attack!"

Hao Ren vaguely felt he had heard this celestial music somewhere before and shouted.

Zhao Kuo and Su Han, who were about to lose their composure, suddenly regained clarity of mind. The Black Dragon Spike and the Jade Sword both struck out.

"Eh You managed to break my Seven Killing Formation," Qiu Niu exclaimed in surprise.

The Black Dragon Spike shot out over forty thousand sword beams, each like a five-colored divine nail piercing into Qiu Niu's neck.

Meanwhile, Su Han’s Jade Sword unleashed layers of ice that sliced through Qiu Niu's dragon scales like sharp blades.

They had both put in their utmost effort!

Sweat dripped from Hao Ren's forehead as he controlled the large sword formation to close in from all directions, its light flickering and emitting a buzzing sound. The spectacle was indeed awe-inspiring!

Hiss...

The Golden Light Shield lying next to Hao Ren suddenly sprang up.

It had been pretending to be dead all along but seeing that the situation favored it, it "revived" and sprung back into action.

This divine treasure found Qiu Niu’s Dragon Blood extremely nutritious; with its ability to change form, it sent countless duplicates of itself swarming towards Qiu Niu.

"Shield! Don’t take his life!" Hao Ren hastily shouted.

On the platform several kilometers long, golden light flashed as the Golden Light Shield swept up blackened divine herbs from the ground and lifted Qiu Niu's dragon blood, then struck it squarely in its belly!

The personality of the Golden Light Shield was like a chicken’s: petty and vengeful. Anyone who had hit it would face retaliation for sure.

"Seek death!"

Qiu Niu spat out a fierce dragon breath, instantly transforming into thick black rays that shot straight towards the Golden Light Shield.

Not only was he an ancestor of Dragon Sect cultivators, but also one of the forefathers in alchemy and forging. This chaotic divine fire could refine even the Golden Light Shield!

To everyone's surprise, there were no thoughts of resistance from the Golden Light Shield; it darted off at top speed towards a distance. That was its usual modus operandi: take advantage and run away!

Assisting Hao Ren in defending for one strike was the most risky thing it had ever done in its entire life!

Bang!

Hao Ren's sword light suddenly activated.

Zhao Kuo’s Black Dragon Spear and Su Han's Green Jade Sword pierced through the head and tail of the Quniu, not necessarily fatal but certainly severely injured.

The transformed giant dragon Quniu fell heavily, collapsing the black Void Hall along with it.

Ding-dong...

From within the collapsed black hall in the void, ten dazzling treasures flashed out one by one.

The Eastern Emperor Bell, Xuanyuan Sword, Pangu Axe, Demon Refining Cauldron, Vast Heaven Pagoda, Fu Xi Lute, Divine Farmer’s Cauldron, Qiong Tong Seal, Kunlun Mirror, and Nuwa Stone.

These ancient divine artifacts were actually stored here!

"Excuse me!" Su Han lightly touched the tip of her foot to the Green Jade Sword and flew up on it, reaching out to grab the weakest Nuwa Stone at the end.

She had only known that the Nine Dragons Palace’s secret vault contained divine artifacts but didn't know there were ten of them!

Su Han could have taken the strongest Eastern Emperor Bell, but she was afraid she wouldn’t be able to control it. Additionally, she had received Nuwa's "Seal Heaven and Earth" technique in the Ancestor Dragon Hall, so this might be destiny; thus, she chose the least powerful Nuwa Stone.

"If I survive the heavenly tribulation, I will definitely return them! Thank you for lending me these treasures!"

Su Han put the colorful Nuwa Stone into her Alaya Jewel and respectfully bowed to Quniu, emphasizing that she was borrowing them.

Regarding such celestial artifacts, Su Han only thought of temporarily borrowing them; she truly didn't dare to think of keeping them alone. With these treasures’ level, even a Spirit Formation realm cultivator wouldn’t dare keep them in their possession.

She wanted to break through to the Heavenly Dragon Realm to fulfill her own wishes and find out who her parents were, solving the mystery within her heart.

"What happened today is my Su Han's fault; it has nothing to do with these two. If I succeed in transforming into a heavenly dragon, everything will be according to your arrangements. Should I fail the tribulation even with divine artifacts, then it would have been for nothing! At that time, please send down millions of divine thunderbolts to punish me!"

Bang...

The seemingly lifeless Quniu's tail suddenly swung.

A boundless darkness swept over instantly.

Seeing the situation turn for the worse, Hao Ren rushed towards Su Han beside him immediately.

A piercing pain struck his back; if it weren't for the lightning refinement that toughened his body, Hao Ren would have shattered into pieces!

When he nearly fainted from the pain and opened his eyes again, he found himself holding Su Han as they were falling into an endless fog.

Bang...

Hao Ren and Su Han suddenly fell into water.

The white mist was everywhere; this place... must be the Demon Sea!med down."Sir, Sir..." Lu Lili noticed Hao Ren staring blankly at the window and gently poked him with a ballpoint pen since she was sitting beside him.Hao Ren smiled and turned around to continue his...
