Chapter 622: Chapter 622: Escaping Successfully

After exchanging hundreds of moves, Gu Tong and the woman in black suddenly ceased their fight.

"Haha, you know who you are now, you are the Demon Lord—," Gu Tong laughed.

"I am the Demon Lord Han Xiuyue!" The woman in black interrupted Gu Tong, announcing her identity herself.

Gu Tong looked somewhat surprised but only gave a slight smile without saying anything more.

What!

For a moment, the seven great powers were all shocked to the point of numbness.

Who is the Demon Lord?

A peerless genius from thousands of years ago, the Heavenly Demon Path dominated the world, and back then, many of the Sky Ladder’s great powers even joined the Heavenly Demon Path, becoming one of its lords, willing to serve under the Demon Lord.

But that was a matter of thousands of years ago, even if the Demon Lord was powerful, she should have long since turned to bones, how could she still be alive?

However, judging from Han Xiuyue’s combat power just now, fighting seven was merely a trifle; aside from someone as extraordinary as the Demon Lord, could there be a second one?

Hiss, the Demon Lord is actually still not dead, and she’s about to rule the world again?

Moreover, the Demon Lord is a woman?

"I also know who you are!" Han Xiuyue said to Gu Tong.

Gu Tong spread his hands, with a slight smile on his face.

However, Han Xiuyue didn’t intend to reveal it publicly but instead said, "Alright, for your sake, I won’t make it difficult for these two."

In her mind, it was impossible for Shi Feng and his son to obtain any treasures from the Golden Dragon’s body, insisting on checking was due to her meticulous mind, not willing to overlook any possibility.

Because starting a full-scale war with Gu Tong over such slight possibilities would definitely not be worth it.

"Go," Gu Tong waved to Shi Hao, "Brother Shi, let’s have a drink when you are free."

"Okay," Shi Hao nodded.

The other great powers watched, all surprised.

Shi Hao was only from Self-Observation, yet Gu Tong was from the Sky Ladder, and even among those, he was one of the best. That the two could become friends was something they couldn’t comprehend.

The gap in their standings was just too big.

Shi Hao and Shi Feng left, with the Purple Gold Rat squatting on Shi Hao’s shoulder, its small eyes constantly moving around, looking sneaky.

Once they exited the Golden Dragon Corpse’s vicinity, they saw that there were still many people below. Seeing them, the onlookers had different expressions.

Some showed a cold smile, others looked envious.

—With the arrival of seven Sky Ladder great powers, whatever Shi Hao and Shi Feng obtained would definitely only amount to something they had to hand over. However, if they got the Dragon Clan’s secret techniques, they would surely be able to retain a part of it.

Therefore, the crowd had complex expressions, with both envy and schadenfreude.

Shi Hao, bringing Shi Feng, had just landed. Of course, it seemed that it was actually Shi Feng carrying Shi Hao in flight, when nine Sky Ladder powerhouses also flew out from the dragon’s mouth.

"Gu Tong, I’m taking this dragon corpse. Do you have any objections?" Han Xiuyue asked Gu Tong.

Gu Tong smiled, "I need the Dragon Ball."

Han Xiuyue pondered for a moment, then nodded, "Fine, the Dragon Ball is yours!"

She couldn’t possibly monopolize the dragon corpse with someone of equal strength as hers.

Gu Tong began to dig out the Golden Dragon’s eyeballs. Although this True Dragon had once been of Immortal Level, it had already turned into a pathway, and even Corpse-Eating Insects had grown inside its body. No longer as strong as before, Gu Tong easily extracted the two eyeballs.

He smiled at Shi Hao and then drifted away.

As soon as Gu Tong left, Han Xiuyue began to refine the Golden Dragon Corpse. She was domineering, opening her domain and forcibly enveloping the Golden Dragon Corpse within it. As her mighty power circulated, the Golden Dragon Corpse immediately began to shrink.

The onlookers below were all dumbfounded.

What was this situation?

Hadn’t seven Almighties arrived? How come Gu Tong first took the Golden Dragon eyeballs, then this woman in black refined the Golden Dragon corpse, while those seven Almighties just stood by watching?

A Celestial Dragon, even in death, was still an incomparably precious treasure. How could they just stand by and watch it being taken away?

This, this, this... what was the background of those two people just now, that they could pressure the seven Almighties to bow their heads?

"It’s time to leave," Shi Feng said to his son.

Shi Hao nodded. Others might not dare to covet the Almighties’ possessions, but they, father and son...hehe, certainly there were ambitious figures who wanted to squeeze the Dragon Clan inheritance out of them.

—They could tell the Heaven Building Ladder Almighty that they hadn’t gotten anything, because the Almighty himself had tested how tough the Golden Dragon corpse was; it certainly wasn’t something they, father and son, could handle.

But those below would hardly believe that.

Shi Feng might not be afraid, but what was the point of fighting?

So, naturally, it was time to hurry away.

Their departure, of course, made some people anxious, who immediately followed in pursuit.

Whether they could get their hands on the Dragon Clan’s Mystical Arts depended on whether they could capture Shi Feng and his son.

Unfortunately, with the Golden Dragon Principles still in effect, no one could run fast. How could they possibly catch up to Shi Feng and his son?

Before long, the father and son duo had completely shaken off their pursuers, and Shi Hao no longer hid, grabbing his father and speeding away as fast as flight.

When they reached the edge of Golden Dragon Island, it was Shi Feng who picked up Shi Hao, flew across the sea, and returned to Heavenly Palace Academy.

Before entering the Academy, Shi Hao took out the Dragon Blood Flowers and the Dragon Marrow Fruits and shared them with Shi Feng.

"No need, you take them all," indeed, Shi Feng preferred to favor his son and adamantly refused.

Still, Shi Hao forced four Dragon Marrow Fruits onto his father, saying, "Dad, the stronger you become, the better you can support me. So, please don’t be polite."

After much persuasion, Shi Feng finally accepted them.

"If you guys don’t want them, give them to this grandpa!" The Purple Gold Rat couldn’t stand watching from the side any longer.

"Scram!" Shi Hao punched, sending the rat flying out.

Shi Feng changed his appearance and entered the Academy first, then Shi Hao followed with the Purple Gold Rat.

"Tch, you father and son are indeed very sly, you have the style of this old man from the past," the Purple Gold Rat said. "Kid, how about we cooperate? You treasure this grandpa properly, with good food and drink, and I can give you a little boost as well."

"Heh," Shi Hao couldn’t be bothered with it.

After returning to his room, he immediately began to seclude himself for cultivation.

With so many Dragon Blood Flowers and three Dragon Marrow Fruits, he had enough to make a breakthrough to the Founding King Court.

Bring it on!

He began by refining the Dragon Blood Flowers, which contained a hint of Dragon Blood. Indeed, some had even cultivated a True Dragon Body from Dragon Blood Flowers, though such bodies were, of course, far inferior to those of the Dragon Clan, as it was highly unlikely they could surpass this Golden Dragon.

Over the years, the Dragon Blood contained within the Dragon Blood Flowers had become so scarce that it was completely useless for improving Shi Hao’s physique.

—He was a Holy Yang Body, and in terms of physicality alone, he was by no means weaker than those of the Dragon Clan. Moreover, his Holy Yang Body was so pure.

However, the energy contained in the Dragon Blood Flowers was exactly what he urgently needed, increasing both his strength and soul intensity, and rapidly bringing him close to the peak of Self-Observation.

After seven days, his efforts were successful.

He was ready to make a breakthrough to the Founding King Court.

Shi Hao consumed a Dragon Marrow Fruit; breaking through such a major realm required a vast amount of energy, and he had to prepare in advance to avoid becoming a dried-up corpse during the breakthrough process.
