NOVEL NEXT Chapter 1075: Business Negotiations
Within this drop of holy beast blood of the metal element, there lurks immense power, which is then refined outside and merged into the platinum patterns on both palms.
Buzz!
The platinum patterns on Chen Yu's palms shine brightly, soaring and releasing tremendous power, transforming into two semi-transparent metallic beast claws.
The radiance on the White Tiger Sacred Claw seems to pulse like a heartbeat, flickering.
As the power within the blood continuously merges in, the glow emitted by the White Tiger Sacred Claw becomes even more dazzling and blinding.
The cultivation method of the White Tiger Sky Splitting Claw explains that only by refining the blood of the gold-element holy beast along with Heavenly Crystal Gold can one achieve full completion, thereby unleashing the true power of this level of cultivation technique.
The former allows the cultivated White Tiger Sacred Claw to closely resemble the White Tiger Sacred Claw of the White Tiger Sacred Clan in all aspects, exerting the power of certain martial techniques.
The latter enhances the hardness of the White Tiger Sacred Claw, making them indestructible and unbreakable.
Time slowly passed by.
Chen Yu spent a full three days refining this drop of blood, thoroughly merging it into both claws.
His claws emitted an ancient, domineering, and strong aura, with a sacred feeling that made them more similar to the White Tiger Sacred Claw of the White Tiger Sacred Clan, imposing the pressure of the White Tiger Sacred Beast.
Not only that.
During the process of refining the blood, the White Tiger Sky Splitting Claw broke through to the Great Achievement Realm.
Chen Yu's understanding of the Profound Meaning of Metal also deepened, reaching the level of the dual peak.
"It's achieved, I can cultivate the numerous martial techniques within this level."
Chen Yu browsed through the other information in this level of the White Tiger Sky Splitting Claw, revealing several martial techniques available for cultivation.
These martial techniques were newly created by the Skywalking Demon God, who comprehended the core martial techniques of the White Tiger Sacred Clan.
Chen Yu quickly chose a martial technique called "Sky-splitting Star-shattering Claw," which can fully unleash the power of the White Tiger Sacred Claw, focusing on sheer powerful offense, possessing immensely destructive power.
This martial technique has three forms, respectively: Star Splitting Claw, Crack Star Claw, and Shatter Star Claw!
To cultivate martial techniques, Chen Yu couldn't stay in the barracks any longer, or else this place might be leveled to the ground.
Swoosh!
He left the barracks and arrived at a desolate area.
In the blink of an eye, half a month passed, and Chen Yu almost mastered the first form: Star Splitting Claw.
Buzz!
He activated the White Tiger Sacred Claw, five claws converging, with the long, sharp white claws held tightly together, as if they became one.
Chen Yu's arm suddenly swung, and the martial technique abruptly activated.
The attack of the White Tiger Sacred Claw was already extremely fast, and the technique also emphasized speed, making it more powerful by virtue of its swiftness.
Swoosh!
A gigantic golden-white crescent instantly cut out, sweeping across the world, turning everything in its path into flying ash.
A huge chasm also split open on the ground, with unnaturally tidy cuts.
"So sharp!"
Chen Yu felt the mighty power of this move.
If he faced Chou Lengdao now, this Star Splitting Claw would be enough to shatter the opponent's Dragon Slayer Blade and severely injure Chou Lengdao.
With the martial technique initially mastered, Chen Yu then turned to cultivating the Profound Meaning of Metal.
When he initially refined the blood, his understanding of the Profound Meaning of Metal had reached the dual peak level, and with further effort, he could break through to the triple level.
The triple level of profound meaning corresponds to the Late Stage Star Condensing.
However, Chen Yu's comprehension of the profound meaning had multiplied several times, and there were plenty of metal attribute profound crystals, so reaching this level in the Mid-stage Star Condensation Realm was also possible.
Besides, he wouldn't let his cultivation level fall behind.
...
In the Dragon Clan's territory, within a massive and magnificent dragon-headed palace.
Several major dragon clans were holding a meeting.
The Yellow Dragon Clan was the main force in this, while the rest were dragon clans with relatively weaker overall strength.
This meeting centered on warfare.
"The Golden Saint Emperor, it is too hard to deal with Situ Lin Yu."
"Indeed, the opponent was an Emperor of Xuanming Realm in his past life, with probably numerous trump cards. Ordinary Dragon Generals are simply not his match."
"Once the Xuanming Realm takes action, it will inevitably attract the Human Race's Xuanming Realm, leading to an escalation of the battle. It's unwise to act without a considerable chance of success."
In the grand hall, the senior members of the Dragon Clan exchanged words.
They were facing the enemy, Situ Lin Yu, who was responsible for the northern battlefield.
The Yellow Dragon Clan itself had a deep-seated vendetta with the previous life of Situ Lin Yu, and they were the major planners of his death back then.
They just didn't expect the opponent to have a way of reincarnation and rebirth.
At this moment, Situ Lin Yu had already cultivated to the Late Stage Star Condensing Realm, and it wouldn't take long before he returned to his peak.
The reincarnated Situ Lin Yu would certainly be stronger than in his past life, even hoping to achieve Unity of Heaven and Man, stepping into the Heavenly Union Divine Realm!
"Dismissed."
The Golden Saint Emperor of the Yellow Dragon Clan said impatiently and left the grand hall.
Several senior members of the Yellow Dragon Clan immediately followed behind him.
"The damn Human Race has grown considerably in strength in recent years, and now there is a reincarnated Situ Lin Yu and a daring Chen Yu..."
The Golden Saint Emperor's expression was deep and contemplative.
At this moment, a male from the Dragon Clan approached the Golden Saint Emperor.
"How dare you, get out of the way."
A senior member of the Yellow Dragon Clan immediately rebuked.
Clearly, the Golden Saint Emperor was in a bad mood, so this Dragon Clan male rushing forward to block the path was, in their view, courting death.
"Please be calm, everyone. I'm here to discuss a deal."
The Dragon Clan male spoke with a smile.
"Impudent!"
Anger showed on the face of the senior member of the Yellow Dragon Clan.
The Dragon Clan blocking the way was from the Panlong Clan, only cultivating to the Late Sky Sea Realm, yet daring to come before the Emperor of the Yellow Dragon Clan and speak of business, to them was utterly laughable.
Just as the senior member of the Yellow Dragon Clan was about to capture him, the Golden Saint Emperor halted him.
"If you want to discuss business with me, why not come in person?"
The Golden Saint Emperor's gaze darkened.
The Panlong Clan man before him was under external control, essentially a puppet. His every action and word were manipulated by someone behind the scenes.
Others had not noticed the anomaly, but the Golden Saint Emperor saw it immediately.
"Haha, venturing deep into the Dragon Clan territory, perhaps business negotiations won't go smoothly?"
The Panlong Clan man chuckled wickedly.
The members of the Yellow Dragon Clan showed a peculiar expression, realizing that the speaker was not of the Dragon Clan.
"We come from the Blood Race."
The Panlong Clan man continued to speak.
"The Blood Race!"
Amongst those present from the Yellow Dragon Clan hierarchy, including the Golden Saint Emperor, their faces subtly changed.
The Dragon Clan held themselves in high esteem, considering themselves to be the mightiest race currently. Yet, faced with the Blood Race, they had to be cautious.
At its zenith, the Blood Race terrified all flesh-and-blood races, once dominating the main world.
"What business?"
The Golden Saint Emperor showed interest.
The Qianyuan Realm hadn't heard any news about the Blood Race for countless years, but now he encountered the Blood Race, and they wanted to discuss business with the Dragon Clan.
"The Dragon Clan and the Human Race are adversaries, and recently, a person named Chen Yu caused a stir in the Dragon Clan territory, slaughtering many Dragon Clan royals and rescuing over a hundred human captives, greatly embarrassing the Dragon Clan."
"As far as I know, the Crown Prince of the Yellow Dragon Clan, the Third Prince, the Fourth Prince, and the Sixth Princess all perished at Chen Yu's hands."
The Panlong Clan man smiled as he spoke.
The senior members of the Yellow Dragon Clan, upon hearing this, slowly became embarrassed and their anger arose.
"Does the Blood Race want to deal with Chen Yu?"
The Golden Saint Emperor was puzzled. What conflict could Chen Yu have with the Blood Race?
"That's right. Currently, Chen Yu, as one of the Human Race's Saint Generals, sits at the military camp. It's challenging to deal with him, so we want to join forces with the strongest Yellow Dragon Clan of the Dragon Clan."
The Panlong Clan man said, "As for the final benefits, we can also split them equally."
"Sounds good, but I don't want to cooperate with you."
The Golden Saint Emperor's face was indifferent.
If the Dragon Clan were to ally with the Blood Race, it would not bode well if news of the matter spread.
Besides, killing Chen Yu could be accomplished without partnering with the Blood Race, merely at some cost.
"It seems the Yellow Dragon Clan does not trust us."
"How about we just ask the Yellow Dragon Clan to help us kill Chen Yu, and in return, we are willing to assist the Yellow Dragon Clan with a task."
The Panlong Clan man sighed and spoke leisurely.
"What task?"
The Golden Saint Emperor's eyes remained dark.
The Blood Race seemed to have anticipated his refusal, and he disliked situations being under the opponent's control.
"Kill Situ Lin Yu!"
"The Yellow Dragon Clan helps us kill Chen Yu, and in return, we help the Yellow Dragon Clan kill Situ Lin Yu. How does this trade sound?"
The Panlong Clan man's lips curled.
The people of the Yellow Dragon Clan remained silent.
This deal indeed tempted them.
Removing two hated humans at once, both of whom were Saint Generals, greatly benefited the Dragon Clan.
On the other hand, the Yellow Dragon Clan could establish prestige, gain greater influence within the Dragon Clan alliance, and slowly dominate the entire Dragon Clan.
"What is your plan?"
The Golden Saint Emperor inquired.
"This point we have already thought through, but of course if the Yellow Dragon Clan members have a better plan, it can be suggested."
Next, the Panlong Clan man presented the plan.
The Yellow Dragon Clan members did not perceive anything amiss.
"However, Situ Lin Yu, after all, is the reincarnation of an Emperor, and may have numerous trump cards. Killing him is several times more difficult than dealing with Chen Yu. Therefore, I suggest that the Yellow Dragon Clan members produce the 'Ten Thousand Dragon Crown.' In this way, the plan will be foolproof."
The Panlong Clan man suddenly spoke.
The Golden Saint Emperor's eyes slightly narrowed.
"Ten Thousand Dragon Crown? Dream on! This is the Yellow Dragon Clan's treasured artifact, symbolizing the 'Dragon Emperor' of the Yellow Dragon Clan, not something that can be casually taken out."
A senior member of the Yellow Dragon Clan immediately chastised.
He suspected the Blood Race was not truly aiming at Chen Yu but attempting to steal the "Ten Thousand Dragon Crown."
"Ladies and gentlemen must think carefully, Situ Lin Yu in his previous life was an Emperor of the Xuanming Realm, his trump cards are definitely not simple, and your chance to eliminate him is only one!"
"If you truly cannot present the Ten Thousand Dragon Crown, we won't force it, the plan remains as is."
The Panlong Clan man reminded once more.
"The plan remains as is, the Ten Thousand Dragon Crown is the Yellow Dragon Clan's treasured artifact and will not be easily surrendered."
The Golden Saint Emperor decisively said.
...
In a dim underground cave, the members of the Blood Race gathered here.
"Blood Peak King, do you think the Yellow Dragon Clan will truly bring the 'Ten Thousand Dragon Crown'?"
An ordinary-looking man asked.
"There's a seventy percent chance. First, as business partners, we presented ourselves as relatively weaker, plus we're in the Qianyuan Realm, they might feel a bit complacent. Second, Situ Lin Yu is indeed difficult to deal with, deploying the Ten Thousand Dragon Crown would be more assuring."
The Blood Peak King, cloaked in black robes, calmly replied.
"If that's truly the case, this trip will bring us great achievements, not only can we retrieve the item needed by our ancestor, but also seize the Yellow Dragon Clan's treasured artifact."
"Our target is only Chen Yu, the Yellow Dragon Clan's artifact is the spoils of war for the king!"
The Blood Peak King, within the black robe, suddenly emitted a chilling blood-red light from his eyes.
"Yes, yes, it was a slip of the tongue, the Ten Thousand Dragon Crown is the personal spoils acquired by Lord Blood Peak King rallying great power."
The ordinary man quickly corrected himself, flattering with a smile.
