Chapter 0844: Mystical Yellow Dragonbreath

Li Luo was still sitting cross-legged on the Golden Dragon Pillar, stretching his muscles to relieve the fatigue in his body. It had not been an easy journey to reach this point, but his efforts had paid off at last.

The Golden Dragon Pillar below him was the best reward.

"I heard that getting the golden pillar in the dragonbreath pool will most likely give me the opportunity to obtain at least two strands of Mystical Yellow Dragonbreath," Li Luo mumbled to himself. He could condense them into ten thousand strands of abstruse fiend lights.

This was an amazing result, yet Li Luo was still slightly dissatisfied with it.

The three resonant palaces within him required a total of thirty-five strands of abstruse fiend lights to fill completely. After discounting the eleven thousand abstruse fiend lights that he had already cultivated, he still needed twenty-four thousand more to achieve his goal. It would take him close to a year's time to cultivate them in a normal fashion, which was much too long for Li Luo. Hence, he could only hope for a rare opportunity like the Mystical Yellow Dragonbreath.

It was no wonder Li Luo wanted to take hold of as many strands of Mystical Yellow Dragonbreath as he could with this precious opportunity.

"It would be best if I could get three strands of Mystical Yellow Dragonbreath," Li Luo stated in his heart.

Just as he was pondering, his expression suddenly changed and he looked into the depths of the dragonbreath pool. There was a huge energy wave pulsing outwards from that area.

In the background, there was a faint whistle that sounded like the roar of a dragon.

Li Luo immediately snapped to attention. This was the sign that the Mystical Yellow Dragonbreath was about to appear.

Li Qingfeng and the owners of the other five Coiling Dragon Pillars looked towards the deepest part of the dragonbreath pool at the same moment. As the strong energy pulses radiated towards their surroundings, everyone was fully prepared to strike.

It was not a long wait for them. The clouds and mist in the depths of the dragonbreath pool split apart completely, and a dark-yellow gust of wind swept upwards.

The wind seemed like a natural disaster. Everywhere it passed, the void was torn apart with countless spatial tears left in its trail.

Li Luo looked at it in amazement. The yellow gust was extremely devastating. Even though they currently wielded the power of Dukes, they would be torn into pieces instantly if they charged in recklessly.

Luckily, the Coiling Dragon Pillars under their feet had protective barriers that shielded them from harm.

Ripples rapidly burst out into the air when the dark-yellow gust collided with the barriers.

It was only then that Li Luo finally understood why acquiring the Coiling Dragon Pillars was the prerequisite to gaining Mystical Yellow Dragonbreaths. Without the protection from the pillars, they would not even dare to stand here, let alone collect Mystical Yellow Dragonbreaths...

At this moment, Li Luo stared intently at the whistling, dark-yellow gust. It was said that these wild winds would bring out the Mystical Yellow Dragonbreaths from the deepest parts of the dragonbreath pool. However, they would only last in the air for a very short time before disintegrating completely. As such, they had to keep focused at all times if they did not want to miss the chance to obtain one.

In particular, the position of the Golden Dragon Pillar gave its owner a higher chance to obtain Mystical Yellow Dragonbreaths.

“Phew.”

Li Luo's chest rose and fell slightly as he glanced at the massive stream of energy flowing around outside his body. This was the power granted to him by the Green Nether Banner's Harmony. However, its energy had weakened a lot after his fierce fight with Qin Yi earlier. Would the remaining amount be sufficient for him to obtain enough Mystical Yellow Dragonbreaths?

Li Luo's mood was mixed, but he remained rapt at attention. He stared intently at the dark-yellow gust around his Golden Dragon Pillar.

At this moment, he completely shut off the noise from the surrounding wind.

Only his own heartbeat echoed in his mind, and it sounded like a slow drum.

A moment passed by just like this. In the next instant, Li Luo's pupils froze and energy flowed out from his body without any reservation. The energy morphed into a giant hand that was hundreds of feet wide.

Pushing out from the inside of the protective barrier, the giant hand reached into the dark-yellow gust of wind.

The wind was as sharp as blades, slashing against the energy hand rapidly. Cuts appeared on it instantly, and its energy was diminished at a very fast rate.

However, Li Luo was not bothered by it. His eyes were fixed on something that was approaching his barrier. In the midst of the terrifying wind, there was a strand of dark-golden energy that was dozens of feet away from him.

Upon closer look, the dark-golden energy looked lively, like the horns and claws of a dragon. As it flew through the air, it appeared to be covered in dragon scales.

This was a Mystical Yellow Dragonbreath, what Li Luo had long been wishing for!

Li Luo controlled the giant energy hand and reached out to grab one strand of Mystical Yellow Dragonbreath.

However, this was not an easy feat. The Mystical Yellow Dragonbreath seemed to be slightly intelligent, and it swam away desperately when the giant energy hand closed in on it. It was as if the Mystical Yellow Dragonbreath was trying to escape.

This caused quite a bit of trouble for Li Luo. The dark-yellow gust was continuously tearing apart and breaking down the hand. Li Luo would not be able to maintain it for very long.

If he could not catch this one strand of Mystical Yellow Dragonbreath before his giant energy hand fully disintegrated, he would lose his chance. Not only that, he would have exhausted a huge amount of energy for nothing.

As time continued to tick by, the giant energy hand shrank repeatedly. In the end, it was only around a hundred feet wide. At this moment, a thought flashed in Li Luo's mind, and his giant energy hand dashed into the gust of wind aggressively. Finally, he caught up with one strand of Mystical Yellow Dragonbreath and grabbed it tightly.

Without any further hesitation, the giant energy hand retreated swiftly.

At long last, the hand came back into the golden protective shield. Li Luo focused his attention, and the giant energy hand disappeared. All that remained was a cloud of energy that was wrapped around the strand of Mystical Yellow Dragonbreath that landed in front of him.

Li Luo stared at it with fiery and passionate eyes. This was what he had been longing for all day and night. At this moment, he could feel the resonant power within his body vibrating, which was a sign of extreme desire.

This was worth five thousand abstruse fiend lights. Under normal cultivation, Li Luo would need two to three months in order to cultivate this amount.

However, it was not the time to absorb them yet. He took out a jade bottle and gently placed this strand of dragonbreath into it.

After putting the jade bottle away carefully, Li Luo heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. With one strand of dragonbreath in his hands, the battle at the dragonbreath pool had finally resulted in a tangible reward.

However, this was not enough.

Li Luo sensed the energy flowing around him another time and frowned slightly. It seemed like his energy consumption was faster than expected in the dark yellow gust.

With just that one attempt earlier, one-third of his energy had already been depleted.

If he gave it another two attempts, his energy would be completely depleted. At that time, he could only look on and sigh if any more Mystical Yellow Dragonbreaths appeared.

Using this opportunity, Li Luo turned around to take a look at the other Coiling Dragon Pillars too. The other five people were still staring intently at the raging storm with no gains yet. Clearly, the advantageous position of the Golden Dragon Pillar really helped. It was no wonder everyone fought so hard over it.

At this moment, Li Luo quickly retracted his gaze. Every second counted now, and he did not have the luxury to pay attention to others.

He hoped that the other two attempts would be successful too. In that case, he would be able to obtain a total of three strands.

Holding onto such hopes, Li Luo waited quietly for dozens of minutes.

Finally, he spotted a trace of the second strand of Mystical Yellow Dragonbreath.

He reached out decisively with yet another energy hand.

In the next moment, however, he failed to obtain it.
