Global Cultivation: First-time Top-up for the Ultimate Destiny Treasure

Chapter 286: The Heavy Atmosphere, the Strength of the Venerable Lone Dragon

A few days later, a spirit energy ship was seen sailing in the sky.

This ship was Su Yi and the others who had returned from the entrance of the ancient ruins.

However, at this moment, even though a few days had passed, the atmosphere between them was still a little gloomy.

The four elders, Old Master Nie, Lin Yan, Zhao Xuening’s grand uncle, and Li Xuande were drinking on the bow of the spirit energy ship. They did not raise their voices to discuss the situation. Instead, they all lowered their heads and looked in the direction of the northern region, from time to time, they would raise their wine cups and drink the bitter wine in their cups.

On the guardrail on the deck, Su Yi and the rest, who were juniors, were also looking in the direction of the northern region. No one knew what they were thinking.

After they controlled the spirit energy ship to soar into the sky, they discovered that the Venerable Lone Dragon did not chase after them. Instead, he used some unknown method to expand the crack at the entrance, and he released the demon beast army that existed in the ancient ruins.

It could be seen that this was not a good thing. The appearance of such a powerful demon beast army in the great desolate region could very well cause the entire great desolate region to become a demon region.

Moreover, the Lone Dragon was a member of the monster race. The hatred between the two races was not something that could be explained in a short period of time. One only needed to know that the human race and the demon race were already at loggerheads.

Therefore, the purpose of the Venerable Lone Dragon releasing the demon beast army was very clear. Fortunately, they still had a certain amount of time.

The entrance to the ancient ruins was in the depths of the northern region. Even if they used the spirit energy ship, they would have to fly for more than ten days to get there, let alone the demon beast that was running on land?

As for the Venerable Dragon of the demon race, although the speed of the core formation realm was not as fast as their spirit energy ship, it was enough to reach the central plains in half a month.

Therefore, the longest time they had was only half a month.

Just as Su Yi was leaning against the railing of the deck and thinking about the Venerable Dragon’s combat strength, a delicate hand that was as smooth as jade patted his shoulder.

At the same time, a soft voice came from behind him. “What are you thinking about?”

He turned his head and found that Zhao Xuening had unknowingly arrived beside him. The air currents in the spiritual energy ship kept blowing at her black hair, and her snow-white dress fluttered in the wind.

However, at this moment, he was not in the mood to pay attention to the beauty’s clothes. He merely glanced at Zhao Xuening before continuing to look into the distance. His gaze contained a profound expression.

Zhao Xuening seemed to have noticed that he was not in a good mood. Hence, her jade-like hands turned his face towards her.

Her jade-like lips softly muttered, “listen, this is not your fault. There is no need to put so much pressure on yourself.”

He was at a loss because of Zhao Xuening’s sudden action. He could only reply with a bitter smile, “take care of your image, okay?”

At this moment, Old Master Nie, who was at the bow of the ship, suddenly shouted.

“Kid Su Yi, come up for a while.”

Hearing this, Zhao Xuening let go of her hand and said softly, “go. You’re a great expert now. Don’t be so pessimistic.”

Hearing this, he could not help but smile bitterly again. It was not like he was deliberately concealing his strength.

With a leap, he arrived at the bow of the flying ship. Then, Old Master Nie beckoned him to sit down at the wine table.

“Come, come, sit here.”

Zhao Xuening’s great-uncle’s gaze swept over Su Yi’s body as if he had seen some rare treasure.

Just as he sat down, Old Master Lin Yan poured a full glass of wine and moved it in front of him before asking.

“Su Yi, kid, at that time, only you had fought with the Venerable Dragon of the demi-human race. We’ve seen your strength before. What do you think of the Venerable Lone Dragon’s strength?”

He did not expect Old Master Lin Yan to ask such a question. After thinking for a while, he looked at Old Master Lin Yan and replied, “senior Lin Yan, I’m afraid that the Venerable Lone Dragon’s strength is even above the core formation stage!”

Once these words were said, the four people present revealed shocked expressions.

Old Master Nie frowned. After that, he recalled that back then, it was only Su Yi who had used a single spell to bombard the enemy. The other party had only defended himself and had not retaliated.

Hence, he asked in puzzlement, “Su Yi, why do you say that? I saw that you were on par with the Venerable Lone Dragon back then. You even casually escaped from the other party’s hands. Even if you are a core formation expert, but in terms of strength…”

What Master Nie said was what everyone was interested in. Su Yi was stronger than them. If Su Yi was able to fight with the Venerable Lone Dragon, they might be able to defeat the demon race if they joined forces.

However, he shook his head and said with a serious expression, “senior Nie, you only saw me use a spell to force the other party back. However, you didn’t see that the other party wasn’t injured at all. Moreover, I could feel that the venerable dragon was still in a weak state.”

“What!! Weakened state?”

This time, not only grandfather Nie, but the other three people also cried out in surprise.

“That’s right, it’s a weakened state.”

Next, Su Yi began to explain to these elders why he determined that the Venerable Lone Dragon was in a weakened state.

From the beginning, when the opponent killed the Qian family elder and obtained the blood and qi, his aura increased by a notch. After that, he maintained his defense against Su Yi’s attack and did not use any spells. It could be seen that the opponent was not in a good state at that time.

After that, it was defense. This was something that he paid special attention to. When they first met, he could still injure the other party with his Tiangang Heaven-slashing Finger.

However, in the end, the Tiangang Heaven-slashing Finger could only repel the other party. It could be said that the other party was a demon, and there was a high possibility that he was a flood dragon. It was normal for his defense to be strong.

However, based on the other party’s self-proclaimed title, was this title something that an ordinary transformed demon could possess?

Following Su Yi’s analysis of the Venerable Lone Dragon, the few elders became more and more shocked. At that time, they had already been stunned by the other party’s aura. They did not expect that as a junior, Su Yi would actually be able to notice so many details.

This made them feel a little embarrassed as old timers.

“Therefore, I’m afraid that when we meet again, the Venerable Lone Dragon that we’re facing will not be as simple as a core formation level.”

He sighed slightly. This was what he was worried about. He did not know how the Venerable Dragon managed to stay in the great desolate region with his core formation strength. He was afraid that the Venerable Dragon would continue to increase his strength.

At that time, no one would be able to resist the Venerable Dragon. The great desolate region would also become a demon region.

However, who knew that after hearing this, the elders looked at each other and smiled.

“Kid Su Yi, although we don’t know what method the Venerable Lone Dragon used to come to the great desolate region with his demon race core formation cultivation, it’s not easy to increase his strength in the great desolate region with his demon race core formation cultivation.” Old Master Nie smiled and said.

After exchanging a few words, everyone seemed to have understood something. The atmosphere seemed to ease a little.

“Senior Nie, what do you mean?”
