"Excellent! Excellent! As long as you release me, besides a hundred Grade-one Godheads, two Supreme-grade Godheads, and countless Divine Realm cultivation resources and rare treasures, I'll give you everything!" Seeing that Lin Yun's tone seemed to have softened, Chen Long nodded excitedly.
"How about you tell me the location of those treasures, and I'll retrieve them myself before letting you go?" Lin Yun paused, then said calmly.
Anyway, under his control, the other party cannot send out any information, so it doesn't matter if he doesn't kill them for now.
"No, no! My treasures are all in the place where all twelve of us Zodiac Beasts cultivate together. That is the common property of all twelve of us Zodiac Beasts. Even if I go there, I will have to take them away privately. It is not easy to do! If you go there, you will face an attack from the other powerful members of our twelve Zodiac Beasts. There are four peak God Realm experts, five Level God Realm experts, and many lower God Realm experts..." Chenlong shook his head repeatedly.
"Do I look like a fool to you?" Lin Yun sneered.
He vaguely sensed that there was something hidden in Chenlong's words, but most of it was true. He figured that what Chenlong had just promised probably wasn't really his own. Chenlong was really going all out to survive.
However, Chenlong might be sincere at this moment, and he is confident that once he releases the other party, the other party's thoughts will immediately change.
Chen Long choked, clearly realizing something, but to survive, he couldn't do nothing. After a moment, he gritted his teeth and said, "I swear..."
“I don’t believe in oaths. I’ll give you three breaths to figure out how to give me those resources without alerting the other twelve zodiac beasts or the other cultivators from the acquired divine dynasties. If you can’t figure it out, then you’ll die!” Lin Yun shook his head and said.
“Three breaths…” Chenlong’s expression changed slightly as his body was just formed.
The time was too short, so short that he couldn't even think of a way to deal with the other party. He had only mentioned those resources to save his own life, but did he really want to give so many resources to the other party? No!
Even if he wanted to give them, as he just said, those resources weren't all his, so it would be difficult for him to give them to the other party!
His original plan was to first calm the other party down with words, and once he had saved his life, he would figure out how to deal with the other party!
Or perhaps, in order to obtain these resources, the other party will not kill him first, but imprison him, or something else. As long as he is not killed for a short period of time, there is still room for redemption!
But now, the other party is only giving him three breaths. What can he do?
He had a vague feeling that what the other party said was true; if he couldn't come up with a solution within three breaths, the other party would really kill him!
"Three...two...it seems you don't want to live any longer. In that case, I'll send you to see your other two brothers!" Lin Yun said slowly after calling out two numbers.
"Buzz!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a blood-red sword appeared in Lin Yun's hand. It was the Blood Prison Sword he had used earlier, radiating a powerful aura as it slashed towards his opponent.
"Wait, wait! I can make a communication talisman. You can take it outside and activate it slightly. This talisman will send a message to one of my loyal subordinates, and he will try to bring some resources..." Chenlong said anxiously.
"How much is 'partial'?" Lin Yun glanced at the other person and asked.
This Chenlong was not honest. When the opponent first showed signs of defeat, he did not beg for mercy. Instead, he threatened and cursed them. Only when his strength dropped to the lower-level divine realm and he was about to be killed by them did he begin to beg for mercy.
Just now, he gave the other party three breaths. During the first two breaths, the other party did not say anything. It was only when he was about to make his move that the other party revealed his plan.
All I can say is that the other party is the type who won't admit defeat until they see the coffin.
This kind of "nature" needs to be properly disciplined.
“Thirty percent! He can come up with thirty percent! The rest, I can get it for you after I go out!” Chenlong affirmed.
"Thirty percent? That can buy your life? After you leave, will you bring the rest of the resources? Perhaps you'll bring all your brothers, or even the other peak Divine Realm experts from the Innate Divine Clan Dynasty, who knows..." Lin Yun sneered.
“I swear! You can also place a restriction on my body! My subordinate can only bring 30% of the resources at most, that’s the limit. I have to go and get the rest myself! If you still don’t agree, there’s nothing I can do!” Chenlong said.
As he spoke, a series of thoughts flashed through Chenlong's mind.
He had carefully considered this figure of 30%. Any more than that, and there was no guarantee that the other party wouldn't kill him immediately after obtaining those resources.
Because the resources available later are no longer sufficient to make the other side take risks.
Give them 30% first, leaving 70%. This will show them how enormous 30% of the resources is. Then, given their greed, the chances of them surviving will be much higher.
It's highly likely he won't die immediately, which achieves his goal.
As long as the other party still wants the remaining resources, he has a chance to survive.
Lin Yun was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "Alright, you make a sound transmission talisman first, let me take a look. Then, you make another sound transmission talisman and tell your brothers that you plan to travel outside for a while and then go back!"
“Good! Good! I’ll do it…” Chenlong’s eyes lit up, and he nodded his massive head repeatedly.
"Buzz! Buzz!"
As he spoke, he flipped his hand and took out two jade talismans, and began to imprint them with magic seals. In a short while, he had created two communication talismans.
Lin Yun raised his hand to put away the two communication talismans, and then released two strands of divine domain power to probe into them.
Soon, they figured out the principles and contents of the two sound transmission talismans. They contained the sound recording of the dragon, and once someone took them outside and touched them, they would transmit information to a specific person.
Even if the other party asks further questions, you can still give a simple response.
Everything was similar to Chenlong's own telepathic communication.
Looking at the two communication talismans, Lin Yun seemed to be deep in thought.
Actually, he wasn't sure if Chenlong had made any arrangements outside. For example, if Chenlong got into trouble outside, or didn't do something for a long time, it would be considered that something had happened.
There are even rumors about the location where Chenlong's last incident occurred.
However, as Lin Yun conversed with this dragon, carefully sensing its mental fluctuations, its current behavior, and the contents of the transmission talisman, he realized the significance of the conversation.
Lin Yun estimated that Chen Long most likely hadn't made those arrangements, or if he had, they weren't made in such detail or in such a timely manner.
Indeed, no one can predict when they will encounter trouble. For powerful cultivators in the Divine Realm, cultivation takes tens or hundreds of millions of years. If they have to reset their backup plans every few years or months, it will indeed be quite troublesome.
If, due to seclusion, others misunderstand, that would be extremely troublesome.
Chenlong is a peak god realm cultivator, and not just any ordinary peak god realm cultivator. Under normal circumstances, as long as the opponent doesn't actively seek death, even if he encounters a powerful enemy and can't defeat him, escaping shouldn't be a problem.
So it's normal that those weren't arranged.
Some of those arrangements were unnecessary.
"I swear..." At this moment, Chenlong began to swear.
“I’ve said it before, I don’t believe in oaths…” Lin Yun shook his head and said.
"Buzz!"
"Boom!"
The next moment, Lin Yun used the Blood Prison Sword to strike the dragon's body, which immediately exploded into a sky full of blood mist.
"Bastard! You! You broke your promise! Aren't you afraid of leaving behind inner demons that will prevent you from ever climbing the Great Dao again?" Chenlong's spiritual power resonated in this space as he roared in shock and anger.
"Shouldn't I be saying that to you? Do you dare say you didn't tamper with those two communication talismans?" Lin Yun said with a mocking smile.
"boom!"
As he spoke, Lin Yun unleashed another sword strike, shattering Chen Long's newly formed body once more.
"How...how is that possible? How did you know?" Chenlong asked in shock.
The contents of those two communication talismans were real, and even the person receiving the information on the other end was real. However, they contained some coded messages that he believed the other party would never know.
Just now, when he was making the two communication talismans, he was extremely restrained in his thoughts, and he believed that the other party would not be able to detect them.
So, how did the other party find out?
"No, you're bluffing me..." Perhaps because his body had been cleaved in two by the opponent's magic weapon, his mind was a little confused. He quickly realized what was happening and exclaimed.
He was absolutely certain of these words as soon as they were spoken.
Indeed, those coded messages were agreed upon by the twelve zodiac beasts in their early years, and only the twelve of them knew them. Furthermore, after they had reached a high level of strength, they protected that information, so even if one of them perished and their soul was searched by the enemy, they would absolutely not be able to find out.
Moreover, the strength of the twelve zodiac beasts is either at the peak of the divine realm or at the intermediate divine realm. Even the most outstanding peak divine realm beings, who are highly skilled in soul techniques, would not be able to probe the information in their minds.
Therefore, it is impossible for the other party to obtain relevant information from the Tiger and Sheep, and it is absolutely impossible for the other party to know this information.
Then there's only one possibility left.
They were being tricked.
But... he just happened to be one!
Thinking of this, Chen Longxin felt extremely annoyed.
He was so confused by the other party's attack that he said those words.
Thinking this, Chen Longxin was extremely anxious and quickly tried to figure out how to deal with the crisis.
"Trying to fool you?" Lin Yunxin shook her head.
Maybe!
However, it's not entirely a scam!
Unbeknownst to the other party, the Blood Fiend Universe originally only had thirty-six heavens. He upgraded the Blood Fiend Universe to a sixty-three heavens universe, and the latter twenty-seven heavens were almost entirely destroyed by him.
It turns out that he only broke through the last three heavens of the Blood Fiend Universe to obtain those divine abilities. Now, he has broken through the last thirty heavens on his own. How powerful is his control over the Blood Fiend Universe?
Chenlong was unaware that he could sense roughly all of its thoughts.
He couldn't access the memories deep within Chenlong's mind, but he could roughly sense what Chenlong was thinking.
Wasn't his conversation with Chenlong just now a way of probing Chenlong's information?
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Time was precious, so Lin Yun stopped talking to Chen Long and unleashed a barrage of powerful attacks on Chen Long's body, causing it to explode repeatedly.
"Buzz! Buzz!"
The Blood Prison Sword was entirely blood-red, and its entire blade trembled incessantly.
Currently, it is only at the level of a Grade Divine Artifact, and absorbing the energy of these peak Divine Realm experts is not very easy for it, but it is like enjoying a feast, which is very "delicious".
Lin Yun could vaguely sense that the quality of the Blood Prison Sword was rapidly improving.
The Blood Prison Sword had already reached the level of a divine artifact and had accumulated a lot of resources. To upgrade it further, it would not only need a lot of resources, but also a wedge mechanism.
Chenlong's strength and talent are still very powerful and vast, which is just right for him to complete this accumulation and seize this opportunity.
It seems that once the Blood Prison Sword has refined the power of the Dragon, it can break through to the level of a top-grade divine artifact.
This is a good thing.
Next, he will use the Blood Prison Sword to break through the new heaven of the Netherworld. The level of the Blood Prison Sword has been upgraded, which can also amplify his power and increase his confidence.
"boom!"
Finally, after two breaths, one of Chenlong's phantom images exploded again, and all his life force vanished.
The dazzling crimson light emanating from the Blood Prison Sword covered all the molecules in Chenlong's body, instantly sweeping everything away.
Chenlong, a powerful peak-level god, has fallen!
"Buzz!"
With a wave of his hand, Lin Yun brought a top-grade divine spark and several spatial items to the spot where Chenlong had fallen.
"As expected, this dragon possesses a top-grade divine spark and a wealth of resources for cultivating in the divine realm..." Lin Yun's divine domain power probed into several spatial items, and soon, a slight smile appeared on his lips.
There was a top-grade divine spark in the spatial items on Chenlong's body, plus another top-grade divine spark left behind after Chenlong's fall, making it a harvest of two top-grade divine sparks.
In this way, they can gain two more peak Divine Realm experts, which is a considerable gain.
In comparison, the things Chenlong promised earlier seem somewhat unrealistic and uncertain, with no guarantee of their attainment.
"Three-Eyed! You made a great contribution in this battle! Take this top-grade divine spark back and prepare to break through to the peak divine realm immediately!" Lin Yun said as he handed Chenlong's top-grade divine spark to the Three-Eyed Emperor.
Although the divine sparks of the same grade are all similar in terms of strength, there are still some slight differences. Chenlong is not just a simple peak divine realm cultivator; his divine spark is slightly superior to another top-grade divine spark.
If the Three-Eyed Emperor refines this divine item and breaks through, his strength will also increase slightly.
"Thank you very much, sir!"
The Three-Eyed Emperor excitedly accepted the top-grade divine spark that Lin Yun had sent him with great respect.
After refining the supreme divine essence, he will break through to the peak divine realm.
Although Lin Yun had promised him a top-grade divine spark when he suggested he choose the path of refining a divine spark, allowing him to break through to the peak divine realm.
But ultimately, it's just a possibility.
He hadn't expected this time to come so quickly.
