"How hateful! You bastard, you actually lost your life for some money! You are a sinful dragon of my dragon clan! If you hadn't died, my dragon clan could still have a descendant!" Long Yuan cursed, pounding his chest and stamping his feet. It was clear that he was extremely angry. If the owner of the dragon bone were still alive, he would have slapped the other party twice.

"You bastard! You sinful dragon, you scum..." Long Yuan cursed incessantly, leaving Ri Jiu, Gu Yu, and the Corpse Beetle King completely bewildered. What was going on? Why was he suddenly cursing like this? Did he have a grudge against the owner of this dragon bone?

At this moment, Zhang Huangling connected all of this and suddenly understood something, especially the phrase "guardian dragon of wealth," which made him realize the truth.

He then flew to Gu Yu and Ri Jiu's side and began to explain. When Gu Yu and Ri Jiu heard Zhang Huangling's explanation, they looked at the dragon bone with a strange feeling.

What a miser! Gu Yu remembered someone asking him a question in his previous life: If there is an earthquake, and you are at home, will you grab your valuables first and then run?

Gu Yu answered readily at the time, "No, money can be earned back, but how can you earn back your life? Legend has it that some people can bring the dead back to life through powerful means, but that's just a legend. In my previous life, Gu Yu was at the peak of the Emperor Realm, with one foot almost on the threshold of the God Realm, and he had never seen anyone bring the dead back to life. God Realm can't do it, and I don't know about the Great Emperor. Maybe the Ancestral Realm can do it, but that's just a possibility. Perhaps only the person who created the entire world could do it!"

However, no one has ever reached that realm since ancient times. Even the two supreme beings, Qian and Kun, seem not to have reached that step. Although Gu Yu felt that he could step into the God Realm in this life, or even the Ancestral Realm, he had no intention of reaching that realm.

Throughout history, in every world and among every race, have there been no shortage of exceptional individuals? No, there are countless people stronger than him. If they cannot reach his level, what makes him so special?

"Longyuan, Corpse Beetle King, Rijiu, Brother Zhang, please stay away. I need to try and see if I can break this restriction," Gu Yu said, having finished his meditation.

"Alright!" Everyone nodded. Long Yuan was still cursing. He didn't have a chance to run away then, but this thing clearly had a chance to run away, but wasted it. This aroused his anger. However, after hearing Gu Yu's words, he still flew away from here.

Gu Yu looked at the ring held by the dragon claw, then reached out and took out the God-Slaying Array Plate. The top-grade source stones on it instantly lit up, and the Yin-Yang Amplification Array immediately started operating. Gu Yu's cultivation level instantly changed from the third cone to the peak of the King Realm. Countless source energies emanated from his body, and 25 million strands of source energy instantly merged into the wooden sword, making the inscriptions on the wooden sword dazzling.

"Open the Heavens!" Gu Yu immediately raised the wooden sword in his hand above his head, and the wooden sword instantly grew dozens of times larger. Terrifying energy emanated from the sword. Gu Yu suddenly swung the wooden sword in his hand and slashed at the ring.

Wherever the wooden sword passed, ripples spread through the space, and a trembling, booming sound echoed endlessly.

The ring seemed to sense the force slashing towards it; it trembled, and an overwhelming power surged forth, instantly meeting the wooden sword head-on.

Boom... Crack...

The group suddenly felt a white light before their eyes as a terrifying energy ripple swept out. The Corpse Beetle King immediately stood in front of them, his body radiating white energy that instantly transformed into a protective shield. However, even so, they were still blasted away by the aftershocks of the energy.

Meanwhile, Gu Yu in the air also felt his hand go numb. He took a few steps back, and the wooden knife in his hand trembled. The power released by the ring just now was not weak. Even with such a strike, he did not gain any advantage.

Gu Yu used his Heavenly Eye Technique, his gaze fixed on the ring. At this moment, the ring was extremely dim, like an inanimate object. The next second, the space in the white area suddenly trembled a few times.

"It's broken, the restriction is broken," Long Yuan said upon seeing this.

"Phew!" Gu Yu breathed a sigh of relief as he felt the surrounding restrictions disappear. The top-grade source stones on the God-Slaying Array Plate dimmed instantly, and Gu Yu's aura plummeted from the peak of the King Realm to the third cone.

"Fortunately, it's broken." Gu Yu murmured. After the last time he used it, and this time he used it again, he realized that a top-grade source stone could only support him to use this kind of attack once. Even though 25 million strands of source energy did not require the supply of top-grade source stones, the consumption of top-grade source stones was still very large.

Looking at the ring, Gu Yu hesitated. Should he go and take it? It should be alright now; the restriction had been broken.

Once bitten by a snake, twice shy. This saying perfectly describes Gu Yu's current state.

"Yes! I knew the core of the restriction couldn't withstand such a powerful attack." At this moment, Long Yuan, Ri Jiu, Zhang Huangling, and the Corpse Beetle King came to Gu Yu's side, and Long Yuan said to Gu Yu.

Looking at Long Yuan, for some reason, Gu Yu had an impulse to slap Long Yuan twice.

Originally, they were hoping that Longyuan would break the restriction, but this guy didn't lift a finger. Now that the restriction has just been broken, he's walking over all high and mighty, acting like a leader on an inspection tour. Everyone else did the work, and he's here to claim the credit.

"Long Yuan, go and get that ring for me," Gu Yu said to Long Yuan.

"Why should I go get it?" Long Yuan asked immediately upon hearing Gu Yu's words.

"Because you didn't do any work." Gu Yu directly stated his thoughts.

"Who said I didn't do any work?" Long Yuan became agitated upon hearing Gu Yu's words. "You're using me and then discarding me! You'd be dead long ago without me! Would you have gotten the master-servant contract without me? Without me…"

Long Yuan said a lot, leaving Gu Yu speechless. The Corpse Beetle King, who had heard their argument, stepped forward and cautiously took the ring with its dragon claw.

"Master, the ring." The Corpse Beetle King held the ring in its claws and waved it at Gu Yu, like a child showing off a good deed to an adult.

"Huh!" Gu Yu, who was arguing with Long Yuan, was taken aback, but he didn't think much of it. He walked up to the Corpse Beetle King, patted the Corpse Beetle King's chest, and then took out a rare and precious plant and gave it to the Corpse Beetle King before accepting the ring.

His primordial spirit power entered the ring, and Gu Yu was immediately stunned.

It's a storage ring, but the contents are pitifully small. There are no rare or precious materials, only some source stones, and most of them are already dull and lifeless. There's also gold, gems, and so on! They're all shiny things, but most of them are completely useless.

"How is it?" Long Yuan asked, peeking into Gu Yu's ear.

"Why do you dragons collect so many things that are useless for cultivation?" Gu Yu asked Long Yuan.

"Huh?" Long Yuan was taken aback. "That can't be right! We do like shiny things, but we also like rare and precious herbs, right?"

Wait! Gu Yu suddenly discovered a dull source stone in his storage ring. A smile immediately appeared on his face. It was a top-grade source stone, and there was only one. Although the energy inside had been exhausted, that was not a problem. Top-grade source stones could slowly recover on their own.

With a flick of his hand, Gu Yu brought the dim, top-grade source stone to his palm. Its energy had just been depleted because of the restriction. It turned out that the restriction was maintained by the source stone energy in the ring. No wonder the ring was the core.

Gu Yu's strike just now didn't break the restriction; it also depleted the energy of the source stone in the ring. Without the energy supply, the restriction disappeared. This is quite similar to an array, and they can even be said to be the same.

Gu Yu immediately summoned the God-Slaying Array Plate, and then he put the dull, top-grade source stone into a groove.

That was the core of the Five Extremes Sky-Supporting Formation, but because the top-grade source stone did not have energy, the Five Extremes Sky-Supporting Formation was not activated.

Gu Yu then put the God-Slaying Array Plate back into his source space. There were about 40,000 high-grade source stones in Gu Yu's source space. At this time, the top-grade source stones on the God-Slaying Array Plate began to absorb the energy of the surrounding high-grade source stones.

However, the absorption speed is very slow because there is no energy left, so the Source Gathering Array cannot be activated. If the Source Gathering Array is activated, the recovery speed of the top-grade source stones will be very fast.

Currently, we can only slowly restore the energy of half a piece of top-grade source stone before activating the source gathering array. Based on the self-recovery speed of top-grade source stones, it will probably take ten days to restore half a piece. That's only because there are enough high-grade source stones. Of course, if we can put it in a high-grade source stone mine, the recovery will be faster.

"By the way, Long Yuan, does your dragon race's world have any large or giant high-grade source stone mines?" Gu Yu asked Long Yuan. In his previous life, Gu Yu entered the Kunlun Source Gate but did not find any high-grade source stone mines. There were quite a few mid-grade and low-grade ones, but things were different now. If he found a high-grade source stone mine, there might be some top-grade source stones inside.

"Don't even think about it." Upon hearing Gu Yu's words, Long Yuan immediately said, "Our dragon race is powerful, and the Dragon Realm does indeed have a lot of source stone mines, but we just can't resist our love for shiny things, so there are no high-grade source stone mines in the Dragon Realm; they've all been dug up and collected by us."

Upon hearing Long Yuan's words, Gu Yu was immediately speechless.

“However, if we’re lucky, we might find a few more rings of true gods. If they weren’t destroyed by the power of gods and demons, they might contain top-grade source stones, just like this one. As for whether the source stones have been depleted, I don’t know.” Long Yuan added, “I wonder if my storage ring is still there. If it is, hmm! I remember there were seven or eight top-grade source stones inside.”

"Seven or eight top-grade source stones?" Upon hearing Long Yuan's words, Gu Yu's eyes instantly lit up.

"Sigh! In terms of physical strength, my body is much stronger than a storage ring. My body should have been shattered into dust by now, so how could a storage ring have survived?" Long Yuan immediately poured a bucket of cold water on Gu Yu.

"Then what do you want to say?" Gu Yu rolled his eyes and said, speechless.

“You never know! Look at me, I still have Long Yuan left behind. Maybe the thing that protected me back then preserved a part of my body, and my storage ring might even be on that part of my body. For example, the dragon claw with the storage ring was preserved.” Long Yuan added.

"What if he takes it?" Gu Yu thought for a moment and said.

"It's not impossible, after all, even those at the Ancestral Realm would be tempted by my storage ring," Long Yuan said proudly.

"Your storage ring isn't just full of junk gold and silver jewelry, is it?" On Earth, although gold and silver jewelry can be sold for money, and money can be used to buy source stones, in the eyes of cultivators, it's just junk. How many high-grade source stones can a whole pile of it exchange for? Especially for Gu Yu right now, he needs top-grade source stones, but even if he had ten mountains of gold, he probably couldn't buy top-grade source stones. They don't exist! They're too scarce.

“This…” Long Yuan hesitated for a moment after hearing Gu Yu’s words. He used to really like collecting gold and silver jewelry. They were so shiny! Some of these things were even shinier than jewelry.

"I knew it." Seeing Long Yuan's expression, Gu Yu knew that he had guessed correctly.

"Ahem!" Long Yuan coughed awkwardly twice, then his gaze returned to the dragon bone. "Gu Yu! This dragon bone is intact and hard. Although the corpse beetle monster ate his flesh, it could not absorb his dragon marrow. Therefore, there is a complete dragon marrow here, and it is even a dragon marrow of the True God Realm."

"Can you extract the dragon marrow from his spine?" Gu Yu asked Long Yuan. He knew, of course, that there was a complete True God Realm dragon marrow here. He could extract it from King Realm or Emperor Realm dragons, but he couldn't extract the True God Realm dragon marrow. The dragon marrow was located in the spine of a True Dragon. Because True Dragons are powerful, they usually don't condense their primordial spirit, but instead condense it directly into a cone within their bodies. The location of this cone is the spine, which makes their spines exceptionally hard!

“Since I say so, of course I can,” Long Yuan said. “In this world today, no one understands true dragons better than me. Although we true dragons are powerful, we have a fatal weakness, which is in the spine. Originally, this weakness was connected to the dragon tendon, so it was not difficult to find. However, the dragon tendon has been eaten by the corpse beetle monster, which makes it difficult to find this weakness.”

"Just tell me where it is!" Gu Yu said, trying to make it sound difficult and impressive to show off his abilities, something Long Yuan often did.

“You brat…” Long Yuan glared at Gu Yu. Zhang Huangling was listening intently to him, and he had originally wanted to keep him in suspense. But now, Gu Yu was truly a mystery. Long Yuan was in a bad mood.

"Right here, see?" Long Yuan flew above the dragon bone and pointed to a spot on the dragon bone's spine, saying, "This place looks like the hardest part, but it's actually the weakest."

Gu Yu immediately gripped the wooden sword, and his aura surged forth. He swiftly slashed at the weakness that Long Yuan had mentioned.

when………

With a muffled thud, Gu Yu immediately took a few steps back and frowned.

"Corpse Beetle King, come here." Gu Yu said, looking at the Corpse Beetle King beside him. Although it was the weakest point, it was still not something he could break through.

After receiving Gu Yu's command, the Corpse Beetle King suddenly stepped forward, and its two dragon claws immediately emitted a tremendous power, striking towards that place.

boom………

"Let's try again," Long Yuan said, seeing that he hadn't managed to break through.

Boom... Crack...

The Corpse Beetle King struck dozens of times in quick succession, and the place was finally breached. Immediately, a dense power emanated from the broken opening.

Longyuan made a sudden move, its body radiating light as it thrust its claws into the breached area and then yanked it out.

He pulled out half of a dragon marrow in an instant, and with another burst of force, he extracted the entire dragon marrow.

Instantly, a rich energy emanated from the dragon marrow, and the Corpse Beetle King swallowed hard as he looked at it.

"I never imagined that I would personally extract the dragon marrow of my own kind. I used to hate people who extracted dragon marrow the most." Long Yuan sighed as he looked at the dragon marrow in his hand.

Dragon marrow can fill the blood orifices after the meridians are opened and the cone is formed. Almost all powerful cultivators know this. Although the dragon race is powerful and generally no one dares to provoke them, when a person reaches a bottleneck in cultivation and cannot break through for a long time, if their lifespan is nearing its end, what is there that they wouldn't dare to do?

Among those who cultivate, there is no shortage of desperate individuals; they are willing to do anything as long as they can break through their bottlenecks.

"Master, can I eat this?" At this moment, the Corpse Beetle King suddenly pointed at the Dragon Marrow and said to Gu Yu. Judging from the drool on its mouth, Gu Yu knew that this guy had been craving it for a long time. However, that was Dragon Marrow from the Divine Realm, which was extremely precious and could not be compared to his meager treasures.

"I can't give you this to eat," Gu Yu said, looking at the Corpse Beetle King.

"But Master, if I eat this, my strength will likely increase dramatically, and I will become the true Corpse Beetle King." The Corpse Beetle King said cautiously, because of the master-servant contract, it dared not disobey Gu Yu's orders.

"The real Corpse Beetle King?" Gu Yu frowned upon hearing the Corpse Beetle King's words. In fact, the current Corpse Beetle King could not yet be called the Corpse Beetle King, because its cultivation had not reached the King Realm. Only those at the King Realm could call themselves Kings; this was the rule of the cultivation world.

If a dragon marrow from the Divine Realm were used to help the Corpse Beetle King break through to the King Realm, coupled with the Corpse Beetle King's terrifying defensive power, he could even fight against an early-stage Emperor Realm opponent. Wouldn't that be equivalent to him having a powerful Emperor Realm expert? It would be a very worthwhile deal.

"Alright! You can have this dragon marrow." Gu Yu answered readily. He himself had no use for the dragon marrow of the Divine Realm, and as for who to give it to? There was no one to choose from, so it was better to strengthen the strength of his own people.

"Are you sure you want to feed it to him?" Hearing Gu Yu's words, Long Yuan was stunned. This thing was priceless even to those at the Divine Realm level, after all, it could help Divine Realm cultivators replenish their blood apertures, and that alone was enough to demonstrate its value. At this moment, in his eyes, Gu Yu giving the Divine Realm Dragon Marrow to the Corpse Beetle King was a waste of a precious resource.
