“No… How could there be no?!”
A hot-tempered lion-headed deity growled, his voice filled with suppressed anger and confusion.
"Eighteen main lotus leaves! We've searched almost the entire Tianchi!"
"Could it be that this time the secret realm opened, not a single treasure was born?!"
This guess was so absurd that even he himself didn't believe it.
Every time the Tianchi Secret Realm is opened, the number of treasures containing lotus leaves fluctuates, but there has never been a scene like this, with not a single one!
"impossible!"
A hunchbacked old woman retorted, "Before coming out this time, my master sacrificed his lifespan to forcefully deduce that the treasures bred in the Tianchi Lake this time are not only numerous, but far surpass those of the past!"
"Even...even faintly there's the aura of the legendary [Hundred Thousand Years Lotus Heart]!"
"Hundred Thousand Years of Lotus Heart?!"
These five words were like thunder, causing all the gods to feel their hearts tremble wildly!
Even high-ranking gods, and even the top gods who are half a step away from eternity, would be tempted by treasures of this level!
"Since the treasures far surpass those of the past, and there might even be divine items like the Hundred Thousand Years Lotus Heart, where are the things now?!"
The middle-aged assassin from the Thousand Killings Alliance spoke in a bone-chilling voice, his gaze sweeping across the crowd like a venomous snake: "Could it be that I've grown wings and can fly?!"
At the same time, Venerable Kuhai landed on a huge lotus leaf, and the golden Buddha light shone over the area for thousands of miles, carefully exploring.
However, the deeper he explored, the more his brows furrowed.
He touched his fingertips to a little of the barely perceptible fragrant powder left in the center of the lotus leaf, and his expression was solemn: "The lotus heart was taken away not long ago, and the remaining vitality has not yet completely dissipated..."
"What?!"
When all the gods heard this, they were shocked!
Before they could express their shock.
The Burial Swordsman stood on the edge of a lotus leaf, the black sword in his arms trembling slightly.
He glanced coldly at the empty leaf heart, the sword energy around him becoming increasingly icy: "There was originally a treasure on this lotus leaf, but it has dissipated."
"Also, based on the residual aura fluctuations above, it was about four hours ago..."
The middle-aged assassin from the Thousand Killings Alliance moved like a ghost, quickly shuttling between several lotus leaves. Every time he appeared, his expression became more gloomy.
"There used to be treasures on these lotus leaves, but they were all taken away, and not long ago."
"If I'm not mistaken, all the treasures on the lotus leaves should have been taken away by a group of people."
Upon hearing this, all the lords present fell into a daze.
"All...all the treasures on the lotus leaves have been taken away!"
A junior God Lord said this in a trembling voice, his face full of disbelief.
"Who is it?! Who did it?!"
Another God Lord roared in anger, and the terrifying momentum caused the water in the pool below to surge continuously.
They worked hard and paid a huge price to cross the natural barrier just for the opportunity in Tianchi!
But now I have come up empty-handed. This gap is enough to drive people crazy!
At the same time, the assassin from the Thousand Killings Alliance continued to scan the crowd with his cold gaze.
He laughed sinisterly and said, "Haha... Do you want to hide it from the world and take all the treasures for yourself right under our noses?"
After hearing this, the other gods also realized something.
They understood what the other party meant. It was saying that there was a greedy guy among their group of gods who used some special means to take away all the treasures in advance!
For a moment, all the gods became subconsciously wary of each other, their divine thoughts clashed secretly, and the atmosphere became tense.
"Hmph! A sly traitor! If I were to find out who stole the treasure, I would definitely extract their soul and refine their spirit!"
A god who was surrounded by poisonous fog said in a sinister tone, and glanced unkindly at several opponents who had a grudge against him.
"Amitabha."
The Venerable Kuhai chanted the Buddha's name loudly, trying to calm the situation: "Everyone, please be patient and don't panic. Perhaps... it's not that someone among us is hiding something."
"If not us, who else could it be?"
The assassin from the Thousand Killings Alliance said coldly, holding a dagger in his hand: "The gate to Tianchi was only opened an hour ago, and we entered together."
"Before this, it was impossible for anyone to enter Tianchi."
His eyes slowly swept over the still surging pool water below and the lotus leaves that had been carefully examined but were empty.
At this time, the swordsman from the Burial Ground said in a low voice: "Perhaps...some people don't even need to cross the natural chasm to enter the Heavenly Lake."
"Even...I know this place like the back of my hand!"
Upon hearing this, Venerable Kuhai's pupils suddenly shrank, and he suddenly thought of something: "You mean... the pair born here..."
"Twin Lotus Flowers!"
The middle-aged assassin from the Thousand Killings Alliance gritted his teeth as he spoke, his eyes blazing with murderous intent. "It must be them! Only they can ignore the natural barrier and directly enter the Heavenly Lake! And only they know the treasure's location best!"
"And that Han Xing!" another Divine Lord added, "He was accompanied by the pair of demon lotuses! They must have been colluding with the insiders and sneaked in beforehand to plunder all the treasures!"
This speculation, like the light shining through the clouds, instantly explained all the doubts!
Why did all the treasures disappear?
Why are there no signs of a break-in?
Why did the Korean stars disappear so early?
Everything has an answer!
"Look for them! They must still be hiding somewhere in Tianchi!"
Venerable Kuhai no longer had any trace of compassion on his face. His expression was filled with sternness. "They can't swallow so many treasures. They must have digested them somewhere!"
"Especially the possible existence of a hundred thousand year old lotus heart. Absorbing it is definitely not easy!"
"Seal off all areas! Even if we have to overturn this Tianchi Lake, we must find them!"
"Take back the treasure!"
The earth-shaking roar echoed throughout Tianchi.
The rage of all the gods erupted like a volcano!
Dozens of terrifying divine thoughts began to sweep every corner of Tianchi like a comb, more frantically and meticulously, leaving no inch of space untouched!
This time, the focus of their search was no longer the lotus leaves, but any possible hidden space or barrier!
The water in the pond was stirred upside down, and the lotus leaves were roughly examined and even lifted up.
However, they were destined to gain nothing.
Because Han Xing and others had already entered the temple that was beyond their perception.
No matter how hard they searched, they could not find any trace.
Time passed little by little, and in the blink of an eye, almost half a day had passed.
Nearly thirty gods searched the entire Tianchi Lake several times, but still found nothing.
The patience of the gods was gradually worn out, and their anger was growing, but they were like headless flies, unable to find their target.
"No! Not anywhere!"
"Damn it! Have they already left the secret realm?"
"Impossible! The exit of the secret realm is guarded by the masters. If they go out, there is no way they will leave without making any noise!"
Feelings of anxiety, confusion and anger are spreading.
They felt like monkeys being made fun of. They worked so hard to get in, but didn't even get a sip of soup. They just made things difficult for others!
After searching for nearly another day, the thirty gods thoroughly searched every corner of the Tianchi Lake!
Even the Venerable Kuhai was worried that Han Xing and others were hiding at the bottom of Tianchi, so he risked being swallowed by the source of chaos and forced himself to investigate deeper, but still found nothing!
Other gods also changed their targets.
From Tianchi back to the Tianqian Palace complex behind, including the illusory palace opposite Tianchi, they also searched every inch of it!
After three full days of searching, they still found nothing.
When all the gods gathered together again, everyone looked gloomy.
They all realized the seriousness of the matter.
Because this time, it is not as simple as Han Xing and his team taking all the treasures of the six palaces in the Tianqian area for themselves!
They even took away all the treasures on the eighteen lotus leaves of Tianchi!
You know, among the three major forces, countless high-level god-level monsters are eyeing the treasures in these lotus leaves!
As a result, now, all of it has fallen into the pocket of this lord of the southern region.
And more importantly, the other party seemed to have evaporated from the face of the earth, disappearing without a trace!
They were nowhere to be found in the entire secret realm.
After a moment, the Burial Swordsman said in a cold voice: "Notify them. We can't suppress this matter."
"There are too many important figures who need these treasures. In addition, the Korean star's identity is special, and the implications are too great. We must report it as soon as possible."
Another Lord God added, "That's right. Report it as soon as possible. We have searched the entire secret realm several times and explored many dangerous areas, but found nothing."
"I even suspect that they have already left the secret realm in advance and are on their way back to the Southern Territory."
Hearing this, all the gods present were slightly startled and their expressions became more solemn.
Because what this God Lord said is not impossible.
After all, the Korean star is accompanied by a pair of lotus flowers.
They can take Han Xing into Tianchi in advance and take away all the treasures.
Maybe there are other unknown means or mysterious passages that have taken them away early!
Thinking of this, all the gods felt their hearts sink suddenly!
If Han Xing really managed to escape back to the Southern Region with all the treasures.
Not only did they suffer heavy losses and lose face this time, but they were also unable to explain to the old monsters behind them who urgently needed treasures to prolong their lives or make breakthroughs!
By then, their end will probably be quite miserable!
At that moment, all the gods used their own methods to convey the shocking changes in the Tianchi Secret Realm as quickly as possible!
…
…
At the same time, as the news spread among the three major forces, it soon caused an uproar among some high-level officials in the Western Regions.
"What?! All the treasures in the Tianchi Secret Realm, including the possible 100,000-year-old lotus heart, were taken by Han Xing alone?!"
"Dozens of Divine Lords have been searching for him for days, but there's no sign of him? Is he suspected of absconding with the treasure?"
"Trash! A bunch of trash!"
Angry roars were heard simultaneously in some hidden areas of the three major forces in the Western Regions.
The next moment, commands containing terrifying pressure came from those sleeping places or retreats.
"Pass the order! Seal off all borders leading from the Western Region to the Southern Region! Activate all ancient restrictions! Not even a fly is allowed to fly through!"
"All teleportation arrays are strictly inspected! Especially those heading towards the southern region, they are all temporarily closed!"
"Activate all [Sky Survey Mirrors] and monitor the entire Western Region! Especially the border areas. Search every inch of them for me!"
"Notify Shadow Killer, Netherworld Guard, and Ascetic Monk, all of them! Even if we have to dig three feet deep, we must find Han Xing for me!"
"The treasure must be recovered!"
Half of the Western Regions was in turmoil because of a high-level Chaos Lord!
Powerful figures rose from the strongholds of various forces and swarmed towards the border like locusts!
Huge warships formed fleets, shuttling over the Lord's Continent and inspecting one territory after another.
Countless huge "sky survey mirrors" were deployed and suspended in the sky.
The mirror light swept across mountains, rivers, and the endless void, searching for any suspicious energy fluctuations or spatial anomalies.
The secret forces specializing in pursuit and assassination came out in full force, like the sharpest hunting dogs.
Begin tracking along possible escape routes.
In the Western Regions, countless lords and creatures were shocked by this sudden large-scale action.
They didn't know what kind of big event had happened that caused the three major forces to mobilize such a large force and almost seal off the territory!
…
…
At this moment, Han Xing and his teammates, the center of all this storm, are completely unaware of the upheaval in the outside world.
They are still in the mysterious [Origin Temple], immersed in cultivation and breakthrough.
“Boom!”
A violent thunder suddenly exploded in the temple, breaking the continuous silence!
In the area where the Beast Lord was, the huge cocoon of lightning shattered!
An even larger and more majestic ancient thunder beast let out a deafening roar towards the sky!
The lightning wrapped around him was no longer a simple purple, but turned into a deeper purple-black color that contained the aura of heavenly destruction!
The terrifying might of thunder spread out, and its aura had apparently been completely stabilized at the level of a beginner God Lord, even more powerful than the average intermediate God Lord!
The power of [Heavenly Tribulation Thunder Core] was successfully absorbed and integrated by him!
After the Great Beast Lord broke through, he did not make any other moves. Instead, he stood quietly in place, feeling the surging power in his body.
And not long after he broke through.
A clear and majestic dragon roar sounded immediately afterwards!
“Yin——!!!”
In the direction where the dragon jade is located, the majestic energy and blood power emitted by the [Heart of the Dragon] has gradually converged.
And her own aura has also undergone earth-shaking changes!
The white dragon scales that originally appeared on her body during the battle now had a faint golden hue.
It seems to contain powerful defense and the majesty of a dragon!
If you touch it, you will receive the strongest counterattack!
Not only that, the pair of dragon horns on her forehead, which were originally as crystal clear as jade, now turned into light gold.
"Buzz..."
Waves of powerful god-level pressure emanated from her body!
When she slowly opened her eyes, a golden dragon shadow flashed in the depths of her pupils.
Including the aura emanating from her body was completely stable.
Obviously, Long Yu has also successfully broken through with the help of the power of [Dragon Heart].
Beside him, the Great Beast Lord, who had already woken up, laughed out loud and said, "Yu'er, you have also successfully broken through to the Divine Lord level."
"How do you feel now?"
