The Supreme Dragon Emperor Chapter 231

He reached out to the spiritual stone of darkness.

As soon as he laid his fingers on it, it flaked into powder straight away.

Lin Xiao went confused.

The spiritual stones, as everyone knew, were extremely hard. They would never transform into powder unless the element of darkness was gone.

He, nevertheless, hadn't even done anything about the element in it.

What a thorny puzzle it was!

Something came across his mind immediately and helped him figure out the baffling phenomenon — the element of darkness probably stemmed from the spiritual stones of the darkness in the wonderland.

The more he dwelled upon it, the more he found it plausible.

Apart from that, he could hardly pin down another explanation.

He, nevertheless, overwhelmed by a wave of agony instead of making it out.

He was only halfway with his exploration with the wonderland; he had seen hundreds of grooves of this kind so far.

If his speculation proved right, he would have consumed abundant element of the darkness.

The enormous consumption, however, unexpectedly brought down his martial level. By extension, one could tell it would call for a ghastly bulk of energies to bring it back up.

They could be found nowhere.

The only thing that came to Lin Xiao's mind was no other than the nine dragon wonderlands.

He soon denied himself —what if the number of the spiritual stones of element out there fell short of his expectation?

It grieved him to think of that.

He, eventually, ditched the ominous thoughts and headed on.

His progress with his journey, however, only reinforced his guess; though there were more spiritual stones out there, they, without exception, flaked into powder once he touched them.

The element of darkness inside them, apparently, had been absorbed by him.

He turned a blind eye to it and simply went on.

All of a sudden, something weird caught his attention — a quake broke out unexpectedly as if the wonderland had been on the brink of collapse.

Pretty startled, he brought his spiritual energy into full play and dashed forth like a bat out of hell.

Waves of booms came off one after another; a continuous collapse kept up with him to no end.

He tried to weep, but failed to shed a tear — he was aware of the reason.

The spiritual stones of darkness, as a matter of fact, acted as pillars for the wonderland cave. Now that he had consumed them across the board, the wonderland was expected to cave in.

He had no option but to keep running, lest he would die in it.

He would have long got stuck in there if his body hadn't been so well-built — numberless falling rocks had hit him along the way.

While he was fleeing, Li Taixuan and the thee chief seniors went struck-dumb outside.

Li Taixuan hastened to activate his spiritual treasure in order to stabilize the shaking mountains ahead.

With his spiritual energy propelling it, a lengthy virtual sword dashed out of the spiritual treasure, hacking at the mountains where the wonderland hid.

The virtual sword dashed forth unimpededly, but disappeared right after it reached the mountains — it didn't work at all!

What a bizarre phenomenon it was!

Li Taixuan couldn't for the life of him figure out the elusive failure. But he didn't stop and went on activating the spiritual treasure, making another attempt.

The tertiary chief senior made an efficient assistant in the meantime.

He transformed his own hands into a powerful excavator, cleaning up the rocks around at full capacity.

Li Taixuan and the tertiary chief senior were solely focused on one thing — they must move the mountains aside to get out their junior martial uncle.

"Come and give a hand! The most martially capable ones rush back and inform them about the accident! Lin Xiao got buried in the mountains!"

Wu Gui got flustered as well, growling while rushing forth to help out.
