Gongsun Zhe furrowed his brows and said, “Sir, this stone pillar has requirements for those who wish to leave their blood essence; not just any Martial God’s blood essence will suffice. If I’m not mistaken, the person who wants to leave their blood essence must be a peak Martial God, otherwise why would we have waited until now?”
“Hmph, does Long have to rely on you to manage what I do?” Long Batian disdainfully replied to Gongsun Zhe, provoking the anger of the experts from Thunder City once again.
Long Batian naturally guessed that the stone pillar must have its requirements, but who knows if there are issues with it? In any case, letting someone else try it out wouldn’t hurt.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, the person had no choice but to step forward to a stone pillar, cut open his palm, condensing his blood essence and pressing it down. The stone pillar remained completely still, not making a sound.
“Is it really like this?” Long Batian’s gaze flickered; this time, he didn’t let anyone else go up, but instead stepped forward to the stone pillar, cut open his palm, and casually smeared his fresh blood on it. The stone pillar remained silent.
An expert from Thunder City frowned and said, “It must be blood essence to be effective.”
“Do I need you to teach me how to do my job? Jabbering nonsense, seeking death!” Long Batian’s face darkened, and with a palm strike, a roaring phantom of a true dragon surged out, charging towards that expert.
That expert was also a prominent Martial God, but under Long Batian’s attack, his mind was shaken, and he couldn’t move at all. Just as the true dragon was about to strike him, Gongsun Zhe’s figure flickered, and he reached out with a palm.
“Boom!” A deafening roar erupted, Gongsun Zhe’s face paled as he retreated a step, while the true dragon phantom was blasted apart.
He was instantly alarmed; with just one strike, he had already felt Long Batian’s terrifying strength, like an ocean. The ancestor of the Long family was indeed formidable.
The other experts from Thunder City were equally astonished; Long Batian's casual strike had forced Gongsun Zhe, the president of the Heavenly Summit Association, to step back, which made the faces of the Thunder City experts extremely grim.
In a place where treasures were fought over, whoever could gain the upper hand would obtain greater benefits. In front of the continent's top major forces, would they still have the chance to seize the treasures?
Long Batian’s strike missed, but he didn’t continue attacking; instead, he coldly smiled at Gongsun Zhe and said, “To be able to withstand my palm, you are indeed a person of worth. However, this is just a warning; if you jabber again, don’t blame me for being rude.”
Gongsun Zhe’s face turned ashen; he merely cupped his hands in response and said nothing. The many experts from Thunder City felt heavy in their hearts, all filled with anger.
“Long Batian, hurry up.” The Extreme Mirror Alchemy Emperor snorted coldly. He didn’t want any conflict; he just wanted to see the treasure as soon as possible.
Long Batian said nothing further and once again condensed his blood essence, pressing his hand onto the stone pillar.
“Buzz!” This time, the entire stone pillar suddenly erupted with dazzling black light, startling everyone, and then the stone pillar returned to calm. Meanwhile, a handprint was now imprinted on it, which was Long Batian’s handprint.
Seeing this, the Extreme Mirror Alchemy Emperor and the others also hurried to the stone pillar, leaving their handprints.
Buzz, buzz, buzz… One by one, the stone pillars erupted with light, their grandeur increasing.
Alchemy Pavilion’s Extreme Mirror Alchemy Emperor!
Weapon Hall’s Lou Zi Mo!
Fog Hidden Sect’s Zhu Hua Han!
Bloodline Sacred Land’s Qiu Pu Chun!
Piao Miao Palace’s Shangguan Gu Feng!
Together with Long Batian, these powerful figures from Thunder City combined, yet they only activated twelve pillars. They were still short six.
