Chapter 3956: The Heart of Dique

it turned out to be a futile effort. As for us old monsters, we can't directly intervene in the war, but gathering some spirit stones shouldn't be a problem. This is a matter of great importance, an..."Alright, young friend, just go ahead and do what you need to do. No one here will interfere with you." The Great Emperor Qinshan laughed.

Lu Xia Tian nodded, pondering a way to escape. On the surface, Emperor Qin Ling's attitude towards him was still acceptable, but anyone with discernment could see that it was because Lu Xia Tian was still of use to him at the moment.

That gray-clad woman, the ghost Buddha of burning patterns, is feared by everyone and few would let him go easily. Even if the black dragon were released in this situation, it wouldn't solve a major problem.

Judging from the current situation, the key to the problem probably still lies in one's lack of humility.

Under the watchful eyes of several powerful Golden Immortals, Lu Xiaoteng wouldn't resort to any tricks, lest he overexert himself for nothing. He immediately sat down cross-legged, sinking a large portion of his primordial spirit into the Earth Flame Crystal Nucleus, attempting to sense the exact location of the core through it.

“This boy has established some kind of connection with the Heart of Di Que. Before the Heart of Di Que appeared, it was because I attacked him.” The grey-robed woman didn't wait for a response, but slowly said.

"Since that's the case, why not attack him now" Rn's Ghost Buddha said with ill intent.

“We are all relatively close to the Heart of the Earth's Gate, and as outsiders, we are all to some extent suppressed by the power of the earth laws here. This person has already been able to partially utilize the assistance of the Heart of the Earth's Gate. Individually, any one of us might not be able to subdue this mysterious individual.” The grey-clothed woman said slowly, “We have all come for the power of the earth laws contained within the Heart of the Earth's Gate. Since that is the case, even if we make a move, the risk should not be borne by me alone.”

"Since that's the case, what are we waiting for Let me see just how much this kid is really worth." The Burning Mark Ghost Buddha sneered and stepped forward, reaching out towards Lu Xia tian.

The Burning Pattern Ghost Buddha had already determined to a certain extent that Lu Xia Tian was the young dragon clan member who had disrupted the plan of the Heavenly Buddha ancestor before. Allowing this kid to live and leave the secret realm of the Miazong Buddhist sect would be a major oversight. Now that they've met, how could they let him go

The Emperor of the Qinling Mountains glanced at the Burning Wen Ghost Buddha. This Burning Wen Ghost Buddha talked a big game, but when he actually made a move, he held back a few points. He didn't know if this fellow was afraid of Lu Xiaoteng and that Earthly Gate heart having some kind of connection, or if there was another reason. Even though he was currently cooperating with the Burning Wen Ghost Buddha, it wasn't the same as his relationship with the Star Bundle Palace Master. However, the two sides weren't close enough to be without guard against each other.

Lu Xiaoteng opened his eyes. He wasn't surprised by the Burning Pattern Ghost Buddha's attack. Letting him try to communicate with Que Xin was just one way the other party had chosen. If so, the other party naturally had other ways to use at any time.

Lu Xiaotian shot into the air, his cone-shaped spear piercing out. Just like when he was fighting the woman in gray robes earlier, although the suppressed fire-patterned ghost Buddha had a certain advantage, sending Lu Xiaotian's body flying, it did not inflict much damage on him. As they fought, the yellow jade plate reappeared in the void and then vanished again. However, the position where the yellow jade plate appeared was a distance away from before.

“Indeed, it’s the Heart of the Nethergate!” Qinling Emperor nodded, then another thought came to him, “We’re being heavily suppressed near this Heart of the Nethergate. This kid has the ability of Crimson Flame. Tu Ling and Sui Pojun, two Jinxian-level powerhouses, are also natives of this Nethergate City. Once they also obtain an ability similar to this kid’s, able to communicate with the Heart of the Nethergate, with just a few of us, I'm afraid we might not be a match for Tu Ling and Sui Pojun.”

“Do you think the Heart of Earth’s Gate would be so casual, after all these years only acknowledging one That Tu Ling and Sui Pojun have been in the City of Earth’s Gate for an unknown number of years. If the Heart of Earth’s Gate had recognized them, it would have recognized them long ago, why wait until now.” The gray-clothed woman let out a sneer.

"As expected, quite the reputation. Let's see what you're made of!" The Burning Patterned Ghost Buddha sneered, continuing to claw at Lu Xia Tian with its claws.

Lu Xia Tian managed to block several attacks in a row, but even with the help of Di Que's heart, he couldn't fully utilize its power as it wasn't entirely his own. As a result, he couldn't bring out all its intricacies. In the end, the Burning Mark Ghost Buddha had already grasped Lu Xia Tian's chest with one claw, leaving a small pit in his tough, stone-like body.

Lu Xia tian's body flew backwards, and as he flew back, the earthen law of the Earth Flame Crystal Core surged out, repairing the wound on his chest as if it had never been there.

The Burning Text Ghost Buddha didn't give Lu Xia Tian any chance to catch his breath and immediately swooped down again.

In such repeated attacks, the appearance of Dique's heart became more frequent. The gray-clothed woman carrying the Qilin Emperor constantly deduced the specific location of Dique's heart.

Although the location of Di Que's heart keeps shifting, it appears more and more frequently. The opponent is narrowing their search range, shrinking it from thousands of miles to nearly a hundred miles, then down to dozens of miles.

At last, the grey-clad woman and Qinling Emperor jointly attacked the yellow jade disk in the void.

At the beginning, the yellow jade plate was not greatly affected. As the number of attacks increased, the surrounding restrictions trembled. Later on, it seemed that the void around them and the ground began to shake.

The Qixing Yingjian sword sensed the unstable aura around it and shot off like a beam of light, fleeing to a distance. Staying here would have surely resulted in being caught in the blast. The Qixing Yingjian could not withstand such violent fluctuations.

Kaka... As the combined attacks from the woman in gray robes and Emperor Qinling grew more intense, the barrier near Dique's heart was finally breached.

Suddenly, a surging wave of energy swept outward. Even the burning pattern ghost Buddha was knocked back by the impact.

Lu Xia Tian, on the other hand, managed to shake off his pursuer's chase for the time being.

Seeing the emergence of the Earth’s Core Heart, the Qinling Emperor unexpectedly sacrificed a yellow jade disc similar to it. The Qinling Emperor extended his hand, and the jade disc flew out, drifting towards the Earth’s Core Heart. The aura of the Earth’s Core Heart was continuously being absorbed into this jade disc.

A blade of light slashed through the void, "Bold villain, to dare defile the sacred artifact of Di Que's city!" A thunderous roar echoed as Huayan Sui Pojun, a Golden Immortal, arrived.

That blade slashed directly at the jade disc offered by Emperor Qinling, and Su Pojun roared, "Tu Ling, don't you dare hesitate to stop them! Even if you only want the Heart of Dique, you shouldn't let them get away with this!"

“Good!” The lion-headed, dragon-bodied giant roared, its thick tail lashing out and sending the yellow jade disc flying.

The Qinling Emperor's face darkened. Previously, Tu Ling and Sui Pojun hadn't had this much strength.
