Chapter 851: Chapter 851

Shen Lang arrived at the doorway of the fifth stone chamber, a look of anticipation on his face.

He opened the doors, and a hundred-yard large stone chamber came into view, containing a silver-white Array with a gray Spirit Beast Egg floating above it.

In the lower left corner of the chamber, there was a green stone shelf with some Jade Slips and a square Five-Colored Token placed on it.

Shen Lang was slightly stunned.

Generally speaking, the more precious items would be placed at the very end. Could this Spirit Beast Egg be even more valuable than the Divine Milk of Nature?

"A True Spirit’s Spirit Beast Egg? Or perhaps a True Spirit Descendant?"

He reached out with his right hand towards the void, and the gray Spirit Beast Egg flew towards him, landing in his palm.

He examined it carefully but could not recognize which Spirit Beast’s egg it was.

"The life force is so weak; it seems it will be difficult to hatch."

Shen Lang muttered to himself and put away the Spirit Beast Egg.

He approached the shelf, picked up a Green Jade Slip, and probed into it with his Divine Sense.

After reading all the contents of the Jade Slips, Shen Lang’s face showed a thoughtful expression.

"It really is the cave dwelling of the Five-Colored Fairy, the Nightmare’s Spirit Beast Egg."

Shen Lang muttered to himself.

The Five-Colored Fairy settled on Five-Colored Island, laid down a seventh-order Formation to conceal the island, and cultivated there; she had entered Ten Thousand Spirits Cave Heaven and obtained the Nightmare’s Spirit Beast Egg.

The Nightmare was one of the True Spirits, adept at creating dream realms, dragging its enemies into dreams and killing them within these illusions.

Within the dream realms, it was very difficult for enemies to defeat the Nightmare, which was its formidable aspect.

Regrettably, the Jade Slips did not mention the whereabouts of the Five-Colored Fairy; it was unknown where she had perished.

The Five-Colored Token was a deputy token of Five-Colored Island, capable of controlling the island’s Restrictions; one of the Jade Slips detailed how to manipulate the island’s Formations.

"It’s incredible that the Ten Thousand Spirits Cave Heaven actually has the Spirit Beast Egg of the True Spirit Nightmare,"

Shen Lang exclaimed in surprise.

He collected the items on the shelf and returned to the first stone chamber, channeling Mana into the Five-Colored Token.

The Five-Colored Token shone brightly with Spiritual Light, and a five-colored beam shot out from it, entering the Array.

The Array shook violently, and Shen Lang reinforced the Formation.

Normally, he should have teleported the other treasure hunters out, but many Human Clan Cultivators had entered Five-Colored Island in search of treasure.

Shen Lang could not be sure whether it was a Heterodox Unity or Human Clan Unity Cultivator waiting outside Five-Colored Island; if a Heterodox Unity was out there, and the Human Clan Cultivators were teleported out, it would be a death sentence for them.

He had already obtained many resources and was satisfied.

Of course, if Heterodox Cultivators found this place, Shen Lang would not be courteous.

Outside Five-Colored Island, Teng Xiong, Ba Yu, Jin Yu, Ba Jian, and five other Unity Cultivators stood in the sky, their expressions varying.

"Teng Jiao’s Life Soul Plaque has shattered."

Teng Xiong’s face turned ugly, holding a broken black jade plaque in his hand.

He had given Teng Jiao a Top Grade Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasure, the Blood Moon Spear; with the Blood Moon Spear in hand, other Void Refinement Cultivators should not have been her match. Could the other treasure hunters possess even more powerful treasures, or was Teng Jiao killed by a Restriction?

Teng Xiong could not contact the clan members on Five-Colored Island and was clueless about what had happened.

"It’s odd, the Life-Bound Lamps of several of our clan members have also been extinguished."

Ba Yu said, frowning, confusion plastered across his face as he held a Law Disk that flashed with red light.

"Many of my clan members have also perished."

Jin Yu’s eyebrows furrowed tightly.

They compared the times of their clan members’ deaths and found that they were killed at close intervals, one after another.

"This means they may have been together, falling one by one. It seems there’s an especially powerful Void Refinement Cultivator on the island. If it were a formidable Restriction, they should have died at the same time,"

Teng Xiong said with a grim expression.

He hypothesized that Teng Jiao had led the Haixi Clan and Gold Cordyceps Clan’s Void Refinement Cultivators into a deathly battle with Human Clan Cultivators, perishing one after the other.

"Could it be that the inheritor of the Four Seas Sect has also entered Five-Colored Island? Aren’t they afraid of the inheritor encountering an accident? After all, we still don’t know the situation on the island."

Ba Yu voiced his doubts.

"A Unity Cultivator is coming."

Teng Xiong frowned and said, looking towards the distant sky.

The four, including Ba Yu, all looked up into the high sky, where a beam of blue Escape Light appeared on the far horizon, then stopped with a flash and revealed a flying boat with ceaseless streams of Blue Glint Light.

Lin Luyao and Shen Long, among five Unity Cultivators, stood on it with varied expressions.

"Madam Lin, did you kill Hu Jiang and the others?"

Ba Yu’s brow furrowed tightly.

Seeing Lin Luyao, he instinctively thought Hu Jiang and the others had died at her hands since it was easy for a Late Stage Unity Cultivator to eradicate Early Stage Unity Cultivators.

"That wasn’t my doing; that honor belongs to Taoist Friend Shen."

Lin Luyao replied with a cold laugh.

"What? Taoist Friend Shen?"

Ba Yu was slightly taken aback, his face displaying an expression of disbelief.

The faces of Teng Xiong and the others were filled with shock; they couldn’t believe that Shen Long had annihilated three Unity Cultivators.

"It’s been many years; I thought Madam Lin had ascended to the Mahayana Realm."

A loud male voice rang out.

As soon as the voice faded, a red rainbow appeared in the distant sky and came to a stop with a flash.

The Escape Light receded, revealing a tall, thin man in red robes, his complexion rosy.

"Xiao Yan! I can’t believe you haven’t passed away."

Lin Luyao’s eyebrows creased.

"Heh heh, if Madam Lin hasn’t died, how could this old man have perished?"

Xiao Yan chuckled, then his tone shifted, "Madam Lin, are you intent on a fight to the death with us? If so, this old man will keep you company."

"Hmph, you instigate trouble and now you’re putting the blame on us?"

Lin Luyao’s tone was icy cold, a hint of wariness flashing in her beautiful eyes.

"What if we each take a step back? Let the younger generation decide the ownership of Zouhua Cave, how about that?"

"Hmph, you destroyed Junior Brother Xu’s physical body, do you think I’ll let this go so easily?"

Lin Luyao said with a cold laugh.

"If you want a fight to the death, we will accompany you all the way. Currently, we’re not clear on what resources are inside; it’s not worth battling to the death over, don’t you agree?"

Xiao Yan’s tone was sincere.

Lin Luyao pondered for a moment, her lips moving slightly, and Shen Long nodded.

"Each of our sects will send two Unity Cultivators to have a friendly contest. If your people win, we will do as you say!"

Lin Luyao declared in a grave voice.

"A contest is fine. Regardless of the outcome, that’s how it will be; this is the bottom line."

"Fine then! Junior Brother Wu and Taoist Friend Shen, have a friendly contest with them!"

A skinny, red-robed man, along with Shen Long, agreed and soared to a distant location.

"I’ll meet you in combat."

Ba Yu said in a deep voice, flying towards Shen Long.

Teng Xiong intercepted the red-robed man; both were Mid Stage Unity Cultivators.

Ba Yu formed a spell with his hands, and the void was filled with red Fire Spears, surrounding the space like meteors plummeting towards Shen Long.

Shen Long let out a skyward roar, issuing a deafening beastly bellow, and spewed out a yellow sonic wave to meet the assault.

A multitude of red Fire Spears collided with the yellow sonic wave, shattering instantly like eggs against a rock.
