Chapter 2751 Dragon Essence

Austin walked into the stone cave.

Inside the cave, he discovered a secret path that led into the farther depths of the cave. It was well hidden and he thought the Eight Stone Saints probably found it only through accident.

The walls of the cave weren't just stone. Instead, countless glittering white crystals were inlaid on it, which were emitting a terrifying energy.

Walking inside the cave somehow felt just like wandering in sky. It was a strange feeling he didn't know how to put in words.

After walking for about ten miles, the scenery in front of him suddenly changed. In a trance, Austin found himself arrive at a huge and bright space.

This place was glittering with various colors, formed by the stalactites hanging overhead. The whole atmosphere was colorful and dense with energy.

Austin looked up at the stalactites and found that the energy in between them was even denser. These stalactites weren't what they looked.

Each one of them seemed to have been made up of the essence of heaven and earth, and was shining and glittering with fairy light.

Austin released his spiritual sense and found that the space around him was boundless. There was no end to it.

"What?"

Austin's eyes swept over something in front of him, and his heart skipped a beat.

Not far away on the ground, decayed and broken corpses in horrible shape, blood, and broken pieces of flesh were lying helter-skelter.

Obviously, a fierce battle had taken place here.

"These people were from the Sword Palace!"

Austin narrowed his eyes as he recognized the weapons and clothes of these corpses had carried.

'Is it possible that after entering this cave, the Eight Stone Saints were ambushed by people from the Sword Palace?'

Austin thought to himself and a sullen expression appeared on his face.

'If anything bad happens to my friends, I swear that the Sword Palace is doomed.' Flames of fury were rising in his mind and his eyes were already red

and flashing with a murderous look.

Austin took a deep breath and then rushed through that strange space at an impossible speed.

Along the way, he saw several more corpses of people from the Sword Palace scattered all over. The broken walls and the charred human bones indicated that the ferocious fight had not happened too long ago.

Fortunately, none of those corpses belonged to the Eight Stone Saints.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Suddenly, several flying arrows, as fast as lightning, and red as blood shot, towards Austin.

Each of these arrows was flashing with a red color. The spiritual energy inside it was bursting and could have easily torn the space apart.

Austin snorted coldly. He stretched out his hand and grabbed the arrows like a child taking candy.

It

cultivation base for almost a million years now.

If he could get some dragon essence and use it to reach a higher level, he would be able to fight even against the leader of the Heavenly Palace. In fact, there were chances the he could even defeat the latter and become the No. 1 cultivator in the whole universe.

One could imagine how much the dragon essence meant to him.

However, the Eight Stone Saints had been one step ahead of him. They had entered the pool and triggered its protection array. Since then, nobody had been able to break the array and get inside.

This array was a very mysterious and complicated object. Once it was triggered, people inside could come out, but nobody outside could step foot into the pond.

The leader of the Sword Palace was trying to use the 'carrot and stick' tactic in the hopes that the Eight Stone Saints would bring the dragon essence to him.

But they didn't seem to give a damn about it. Each one of them had taken the chance and was now soaking their bodies with the dragon essence comfortably.

There was no way that the Eight Stone Saints could be talked into leaving the pool or abandoning the dragon essence.

The leader of the Sword Palace was extremely furious now.

Neither side was willing to compromise until Austin was here too.

"Ha, ha! I'm going to make a breakthrough!

I'm going to reach a higher level!"

A loud laughter suddenly rang out from the pool. It was Conor, the fifth member of the Eight Stone Saints.

Austin was taken aback when he heard the sudden cry of excitement.

He was wondering whether the dragon essence was really that useful or not. Could Conor really make another breakthrough by soaking his body in the dragon essence? If so, then the dragon essence really was a powerful thing. But it didn't sound possible to Austin.
