C571 Please Return with a Bottomless Pit

"Old Master didn't find the end of the Land of Void Confusion, but encountered the most powerful Essence Devouring Beast."

The white-haired old man pointed at the place that was suppressed by the stars and continued, "Its strength is about the same as the old master's. It has almost reached the stage of immortality."

"It's on par with Senior Ancestral Dragon!" Lu Chong was slightly startled.

The Ancestor Dragon was a peak Great Saint at that time. How could there be such an expert among the Yuan Devouring Beasts?

"Old Master has been fighting with this Yuan Devouring Beast for months, but he still can't do anything to it."

The white-haired old man said with a hint of sadness, "But the Sacred Land Alliance can't hold on any longer."

"If we can't intimidate this powerful enemy, the Yuan Devouring Beast army won't retreat."

"And so, the Black Hole Qiankun Pearl and I were born" The white-haired old man sighed.

Lu Chong quickly reacted, "The Ancestral Dragon refined this supreme treasure to deal with that powerful Yuan Devouring Beast?"

The white-haired old man nodded and said, "That's right."

"The old master sacrificed himself and used the Dragon Ball of Life as the core. He also refined eighty-one stars of the five elements and finally created this Black Hole Universe Pearl."

"Before the old master died, he suppressed the strongest expert of the Yuan Devouring Beast into the Massive Heavenly Cycle Stellar Array."

"In order to prevent the other party from escaping or being rescued, the old master even sent the ultimate treasure into a secret realm."

"Lastly, I will send my body back to the True Dragon Clan, which is the Blood Dragon Pond you saw." The white-haired old man said.

Lu Chong was silent for a moment before he came back to his senses and asked, "Has the final crisis been resolved?"

The white-haired old man shook his head slightly and said, "After I was sent into the secret realm, I have no idea about what happened in the outside world."

"However, from the looks of it now, I should have survived that crisis."

Lu Chong said seriously, "Senior Ancestral Dragon risked his life to protect the lives of billions of races in the universe. Truly admirable."

The white-haired old man did not comment. Instead, he said indifferently, "So, after seeing your obsession and persistence in the illusion realm, I feel that you are most suitable to inherit this supreme treasure."

"However, I hope that you can surpass the old master in the future and have greater strength."

The old man said meaningfully, "You must first protect your own life. Only then will you be able to protect the race and creatures behind you."

"Understood, I won't be too impulsive" Lu Chong said.

After pondering for a moment, Lu Chong asked in confusion, "Senior, can you really control the secret realm to return to the Chaotic Space Zone?"

He recalled the last time the secret realm disappeared. It was hard to understand, because even Great Saints could not control the secret realm.

"You don't have to call me senior. You are my new master now. Just call me Elder Long." The white-haired old man, who was also Elder Long, said.

"Alright, Elder Long, what's the situation with those Origin Devouring Beasts that appeared in the secret realm?" Lu Chong thought of those Saint Level Yuan Devouring Beasts that were forced back by the Cosmic Pearl when he first entered the secret realm.

Elder Long smiled bitterly and said, "Controlling the secret realm? Of course not."

"Actually, it's just a diversionary tactic."

"If not, I wouldn't have waited for tens of thousands of years to have the chance to return to the Chaotic Space Zone that you mentioned."

"The supreme treasure can at most temporarily stabilize the secret realm. Once I leave, the secret realm will recover its trajectory."

Elder Long explained, "Back then, Old Master placed me in the secret realm because he wanted me to be buried in the depths of the Land of Void Confusion along with the strongest Essence Devouring Beast that was suppressed."

"But, there are Essence Devouring Beasts everywhere in the Land of Void Confusion."

"In order to save the strongest expert that was suppressed, they gathered a large amount of Saint Level Essence Devouring Beast and poured it into the secret realm in an attempt to break open the supreme treasure, the Universe Pearl."

Elder Long snorted coldly and said, "For so many years, I have been in the secret realm, engaging in a tug of war with them."

"Unfortunately, without Master's activation, the supreme treasure's power is limited. Otherwise, there wouldn't have been those Essence Devouring Beast you saw."

Lu Chong's heart moved slightly, and he said curiously, "But, when you were in the secret realm, you could clearly kill an Eighth Empty Saint with a wave of your hand."

Elder Long revealed a smile and said, "That was just a bluff. The energy accumulated by the supreme treasure isn't enough to sustain it for too many times."

"When the supreme treasure is in a weakened state, those Essence Devouring Beasts would attack it crazily, just like what you saw when you first entered the secret realm." Elder Long explained.

Lu Chong thought about it. When they first entered the secret realm, the dark stage of the fog must be the weakened state of the supreme treasure mentioned by Elder Long.

"When the supreme treasure has accumulated a certain amount of energy, those Essence Devouring Beasts will quickly retreat, so as to avoid being devoured by me."

Lu Chong suddenly understood. That was when the sun rose in the secret realm.

"Usually at this time, I will collide with the secret realm and stimulate the Secret Realm Fragment to replenish my body."

"When you enter the secret realm, I will see a chance to counterattack. That's why I encouraged you to kill those Essence Devouring Beast."

Lu Chong finally understood. It turned out that the supreme treasure at that time did not have the strength to kill all the Essence Devouring Beast.

"The current situation is much better. With the huge amount of energy crystals that you have contributed, suppressing the strongest Essence Devouring Beast will be much easier." Elder Long said proudly.

Lu Chong suddenly reacted at this moment. Wait, something seemed to be wrong.

"Elder Long, you're saying that those Essence Devouring Beast Energy Crystals are used to suppress this fellow?" Lu Chong said in a frightened tone.

"Of course. If not, why would I lie to you... and exchange for so many Essence Devouring Beast Energy Crystals?" Elder Long said as if it was a matter of course.

Lu Chong was stunned. Those were millions of Essence Devouring Beast Energy Crystals, and there were still a few dozen of them that he had contributed.

Couldn't he just leave some of them for himself?

Elder Long could see Lu Chong's heartache and said indifferently, "What's so petty about it? Think about it, if the strongest expert of this Essence Devouring Beast were to come out, how big of a disaster would that be?"

"Furthermore, the thing that Land of Void Confusion doesn't lack the most is the Essence Devouring Beast. Just go ahead and kill him."

"Remember to leave some more for me. I still need to strengthen the Heavenly Cycle Stellar Array. I don't believe that I can't crush this beast." Elder Long said hatefully.

Lu Chong was even more confused.

It turned out that this was a bottomless pit that he had invited back from his ancestors. Not only did it not bring him any wealth, it also required him to hunt for Essence Devouring Beast and continuously fill it up.

"Don't be discouraged. When this Essence Devouring Beast is killed by the strongest Great Sage, the benefits it will bring you will be immeasurable." Elder Long seemed to have seen through Lu Chong's thoughts and began to draw flatbread for him.

"Also, although you can only use part of the power of the supreme treasure, it will still be of great help to you."

"Whether it is in battle or cultivation, it will help you achieve twice the result with half the effort."

Lu Chong's mood became slightly better after hearing this.

That's right. With this supreme treasure in his hand, he would be able to protect himself even if he was facing an ordinary Great Saint. Moreover, it would bring him superior cultivation conditions.

No matter how he calculated it, it was worth it!1
