Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

In fact, it was indeed the case; this Spirit Crystal Mountain was no smaller than the one once described by the Yin-Yang Blade Saint.

The quantity of Spirit Crystals here absolutely exceeded the thirty trillion spirit crystals Su Han and others obtained within the Three Emperor Mountain!

Such a Spirit Crystal Mountain could only be stored instantly by treasures like the Xumi Ring of the Holy Son, not other storage rings which could barely achieve that.

After all, even the top-grade storage rings could only hold a maximum of around a trillion Spirit Crystals.

"Only by packing up this Spirit Crystal Mountain within a short time can we have a chance to escape."

Su Han pondered, "Otherwise, who can carry such a Spirit Crystal Mountain while fleeing? I’m afraid we will be caught by this giant beast before we make it far."

The others remained silent.

After much contemplation, a stick of incense time had passed, yet they ultimately did not find a way to pack up this Spirit Crystal Mountain instantly.

"This giant beast should have fallen into a deep sleep."

Ling Xiao looked up at the giant beast and muttered, "While asleep, it exerts such an amazing pressure. If it awakens, it will surely be something we cannot contend with."

"Therefore, if we really cannot find a way to pack up that Spirit Crystal Mountain, then we can only give up, as sacrificing many lives for it may make the cost outweigh the gain."

"Asleep?"

His inadvertent remark caused Su Han to be slightly taken aback.

The next moment, he suddenly dashed out, stepping onto the ground, reaching mid-air directly.

The place he stood was only about three miles from the giant beast.

From there, he could almost see the patterns on the giant beast’s body.

Su Han stared fixedly at the giant beast’s head, where there were two huge eyes on its sides, currently closed and not moving at all.

"Asleep..."

Su Han stared at those eyes for a long time, countless thoughts flashing through his mind.

"Sect Master, what’s wrong?"

Ling Xiao, Ye Xiaofei, and others sent messages simultaneously.

Su Han did not answer them but kept staring at the giant beast.

From head to tail, Su Han watched continuously for a whole day.

The next day, Su Han finally arrived at an answer.

"This giant beast... is already dead."

"What?!!!"

Upon realizing this answer, waves of shock surged in Ling Xiao and others’ minds!

"Dead???"

Someone questioned in disbelief, "Sect Master, isn’t that impossible? If it were dead, how could this giant beast still have any aura?"

"Indeed!"

Others doubted too, "Hundreds of millions of years ago, when the Yin-Yang Blade Saint came here, this giant beast already existed. Could it have been dead since then? If it were dead, wouldn’t its body have rotted after so many centuries? How could it remain intact till now?"

Su Han lifted his gaze and said softly, "Your knowledge exists only in the Lower-Class Star Region. In the Milky Way Galaxy, many species die, yet their bodies remain for tens of millions of years."

"This..."

Upon hearing this, they all showed astonishment.

They simply could not believe there was such a terrifying existence.

To have a body last tens of millions of years after death, what level of strength must that body possess?

Not to mention others, just this giant beast alone was already extremely terrifying!

With aura lasting so long post death, what level must it have been while alive?

"During this day, I have been observing everything about it, and until now, I have not seen it move," Su Han said.

"Concluding it’s dead just based on these observations seems somewhat... hasty, doesn’t it?" This was Ling Xiao’s first-time doubting Su Han.

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Xiaofei coughed lightly to show dissatisfaction.

Ling Xiao immediately responded, saying, "Sect Master, I meant no disrespect; I was just..."

Su Han waved his hand, interrupting him.

He stepped forward, arriving directly above the giant beast, transforming the Power of Cultivation into a claw and fiercely grabbing the Spirit Crystal Mountain!

"Boom!"

With a dull sound, Su Han instantly extracted a huge cavity.

Many Spirit Crystal fragments dropped to the ground, producing crisp sounds.

The commotion was undeniably big, yet the giant beast seemed oblivious, its huge closed eyes unmoving.

"Is it really... dead?" The group’s throats rolled, their eyes widened.

Through his actions, Su Han proved his answer correct.

Only Su Han, with previous life experiences, dared to attempt this.

What a joke that the Yin-Yang Blade Saint once thought this giant beast was still alive.

If he knew it had been long dead, this Spirit Crystal Mountain might have long been his anyway, right?

"Come here, gather the Spirit Crystals," Su Han said.

Among the silence, the group still found it unbelievable.

Such a terrifying giant beast is already dead...

Since it died, why does it continue to float in the void?

Such a body, enduring countless years even longer, yet remains intact, uncorrupted?

Only Su Han could explain, but he was unwilling.

...

Amid continuous sounds, the group surrounded the Spirit Crystal Mountain, continuously mining.

The entire mountain condensed entirely from Spirit Crystals, with no impurities.

Until five days later, the entire mountain was thoroughly fragmented into Spirit Crystals stowed in storage rings.

The number is...

Seventy-five trillion!

Which is to say, seventy-five quadrillion!

When the group harvested the lowest Spirit Crystals, they finally saw a huge cavity on the giant beast’s back.

This cavity covered the entire back of the giant beast, with no blood, no organs, not even bones, as if it had been hollowed out by someone.

The scene made the group gasp involuntarily.

They finally confirmed that the giant beast was indeed dead, utterly dead!

This brought a wave of sorrow to the group.

Not empathy for the beast’s death, but a sense of their own insignificance.

Such a terrifying giant beast was slain, how long could their ant-like Cultivation Base survive?

"At least you’re alive now, and that’s the best thing."

As if guessing their thoughts, Su Han smiled slightly, "The Milky Way Galaxy is vast, with many stronger and many weaker than you, too."

"So, don’t be discouraged; the future is long, and one day you will stand at the galaxy’s Peak, overlooking millions."

Simple words ignited strong anticipation within the group.

Indeed...

What could be more fortunate than being alive?
