Chapter 1311: Experts Plentiful as Clouds

As the majestic energy undulations filled the skies, countless figures pierced through the void to arrive here. At the fore of the group were four individuals who landed atop a mountain not far away with a momentum that struck awe into the crowd.

They seemed no weaker than the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li.

In the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent, only the other three Heavenly Emperor powers were comparable.

Li Luo's eyes first swept across the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Qin. As he looked at them, he first noticed Qin Yi's eye-catching figure. Although her strength did not stand out, her appearance and temperament stood second to none.

Qin Yi seemed to have noticed his gaze as the two glanced at each other, giving him a slight smile as a greeting. The truth was that there was not much enmity between the two. They had even cooperated to slay an Other within the Spiritual Resonance Cave. Unfortunately the grievances from the previous generation had forced a situation where they could not interact as friends and kept them wary of each other.

Just as their eyes met, an aggressive gaze from behind her swept across Li Luo's side, seemingly looking for the source of her smile.

Li Luo's eyes shifted towards the source as he noticed that right behind Qin Yi stood a green robed male. His features seemed slightly feminine and his eyes were long and narrow. He also had a head of disheveled long hair.

His gaze made one feel uncomfortable, as though a poisonous snake was lurking in the dark, causing one's hair to stand on ends.

At the same time, Li Luo could feel a slight sense of pressure emanating from him.

"Imperial Beast Hall, Shen Yunge." Li Luo instantly recognized the individual.

He had come from a Heavenly Emperor power from another inner divine continent. Li Luo was honestly quite curious about him as this was the first time he had met another expert borrowing the power of a spirit beast like himself.

In these years, the Heavenly Wolf had provided him with much needed support and aid, tiding over numerous dangerous situations and thus he knew just how amazing it was to fuse with the power of a spirit beast.

Meanwhile this Shen Yunge was already a Duke and with the aid of his spirit beast, should possess power that he could not look down upon.

Just as Li Luo was lost in thought over this, he could feel an icy glint filled with pressure shooting towards him. He could feel intense hatred radiating from it and without even looking over, he knew who it was. Who else could it be, other than Qin Lian herself?

He then glanced at the source of the hatred and flashed a warm smile.

Seeing Li Luo's smirk caused Qin Lian's expression to turn chilly. She knew that he was provoking her as she turned towards Chu Qing and Shen Yunge. "If you encounter that brat within the Treasure Domain, beat him to death. I want to see if Li Jingzhe actually dares to avenge him and tear apart all pretenses of age."

She was older than Li Luo and it would be a case of the old bullying the young. Thus she had incited Li Jingzhe's retribution previously, being beaten one-sidedly whilst only being able to clench her teeth and swallow all her grievances. However if Li Luo was to be killed by Chu Qing or Shen Yunge's hands, then it would only mean that Li Luo was incapable. If Li Jingzhe wanted to take revenge, they could see if the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Qin or the Imperial Beast Hall was worth provoking. Chu Qing silently nodded. He had no enmity with Li Luo but his side's history meant that they were destined to be life and death enemies. Shen Yunge's gaze flickered. The Imperial Beast Hall and the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li possessed incredibly deep enmity between the two parties. That said it was the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent and Li Jingzhe, a Quasi-Triple Crown King was standing guard over Heavenly Dragon City. If he buried Li Luo here, wouldn't that also doom him as well? He might have a powerful background but the fury of a Quasi-Triple Crown King was not easily sated.

If the opponent wanted to kill him, to pay for his grandson's life, would Qin Jiujie actually be able to stop him? He was no more than an ant in the eyes of Li Jingzhe. Thus the way Shen Yunge saw it, if the opportunity arose, he could possibly cripple him, but his life would be left to the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Qin to be dealt with.

That said, he still had to give Qin Lian face as he had gotten more and more attracted to Qin Yi over time. He had repeatedly demonstrated his intentions to pursue her but they were stonewalled, leading him to feel a little depressed. Shen Yunge understood that since he couldn't get through from Qin Yi, he had to get Qin Lian's help.

Thus he smiled and nodded his head. "If the chance arises, I'll definitely help Aunt Qin teach that brat a lesson."

Meanwhile Li Luo had already turned away from them, looking towards the fore of the squad from the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Qin. At the front stood a silver haired middle aged man standing proudly with his hands behind his back, giving off an extraordinary aura.

"That is Qin Baiyan, the strongest Duke in the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Qin. He's quite old and has been in the eighth-grade stage for quite some time. In fact, it's suspected that he has already reached the ninth-grade." Li Luo was reminded of this piece of information which he had seen earlier.

Qin Baiyan was renowned throughout the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent and could be considered to be one of the mightiest amongst those below the King stage. As a result, the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Qin had dispatched him during this opening of the World End's River Treasure Domain.

That said such peak experts weren't for him to deal with. It was the job of Li Jiluo and Li Qingpeng.

He then shifted his gaze towards the other two Heavenly Emperor squads whom possessed experts like clouds, the entire formation seemingly rather ostentatious and overbearing.

In the end, his gaze finally lingered on the final squad. The lineup was no weaker than the rest of the Heavenly Emperor powers and he also saw Lu Shuanglu within.

They were the group dispatched by the Golden Dragon Bank.

The Golden Dragon Bank clearly wanted to participate in the Treasure Domain as well since it was a rare opportunity. That said, their goals here were unique. Whilst everyone else was planning to fight for resources, they were here to barter instead.

Since Foundational Spirit Treasures had to have a certain affinity with one's resonances for greatest effect, they would then purchase the treasures that were less appropriate from others and then resell it at the Golden Dragon Bank. Naturally they would make a huge profit from this.

The Golden Dragon Bank's reputation was second to none amongst the divine continent and thus even wary rogue cultivators were willing to do business with them.

This reputation was the reason why they had accumulated so much wealth. Within the Golden Dragon Bank squad, Lu Shuanglu had noticed Li Luo looking over as she raised her head and flashed him a beautiful smile. She then raised her hand and pointed at someone beside her.

Following her finger, he caught sight of a young tall man with bronzed skin standing there. He had a heroic and resolute look on his face. His gaze seemed to linger on what he looked at and an onyx colored metal staff was slung over his back. His very presence caused waves of pressure to radiate from him.

This man's eyes were originally a little distracted as he seemed to be lost in a daze but he sensed Lu Shuanglu's casual action, causing him to stare right back at Li Luo.

His eyes turned sharp and serious as he began to scrutinize Li Luo. Li Luo knew that he had already recognized who he was.

Golden Dragon Mountain, Zhang Cuicheng. He was the supposed genius who could possibly forge a Ten-Pillar Duke Bergfried for his third Duke Bergfried. He had left Golden Dragon Mountain all for the sake of Lu Qing'er.

Was he also coming for him?

Li Luo coolly retracted his gaze. It seemed like there were quite a number of mighty enemies he would have to face in the Treasure Domain.

Weng!

Just as more figures made their way over and descended outside the World End's River Treasure Domain, a resounding boom originated from within. The last of the World End's River water had been sucked back into the World End's River itself.

The entire area had fallen deathly silent and it felt as if countless gazes were looking at the entire group from the dark.

That said no one showed any fear. Instead their eyes burned with fervor and anticipation.

The truth was simple. There were numerous Foundational Spirit Treasures that could allow them to take a step forward in the path of cultivation within the Treasure Domain. Under such temptation, the Others didn't seem so frightening in comparison.

Li Jiluo and Li Qingpeng then glanced at each other before giving their next command.

"Prepare to enter the Treasure Domain."
