838 Eight Desolates Spring Eye (2)
It showed the sign of suppressing the ruler with high merit and killing the incompetent officials.
Jiang Li’s current state was also strong on the outside but weak on the inside. He was helpless in his heart and could only persuade them to surrender.
However, what greeted him was another heavy claw that could shatter the ground and tear the sky apart.
This damned old dragon did not listen to his advice and still wanted to take revenge on the descendants.
The current Human Emperor could only pick up his halberd and brace himself to collide with it.
However, the turbid river water that had been forced back 3,000 miles by the power of the Drought Demon flowed back bit by bit.
The power of the Great Drought Domain was weakening.
The talent of the Drought Demon was indeed a powerful passive ability.
However, passive abilities did not mean that they were not costly.
The expenditure was huge.
Although Nüba defeated the Wind and Rain Masters, she had exhausted her divine power and could not recover.
The expenditure of using it was already so great in ancient times, so it was even more so when Jiang Li used it.
During this period of time, the fire and earth dual-attribute immortal qi that he had accumulated was directly exhausted. Only then did he barely activate this power.
Then, the 1,000 points of dual-attribute immortal qi per second were far from enough to satisfy the bottomless abyss.
His right eye began to extract his essence, qi, and spirit, using his lifespan to replenish his expenditure.
Jiang Li had three Merit Lotus Flowers that could continuously replenish his essence, qi, and spirit. Coupled with his terrifying foundation, he could still withstand it for a while.
However, in terms of lifespan, he really could not take it anymore. In a short period of time, this eye had actually reduced his lifespan by 3,000 years!
Although he ate two bites of the Nine Nether Earth Fruit from time to time, his lifespan so far was only 36,000 years.
It could not last long!
Boom!
Another collision that tore through the ground sent Jiang Li flying again.
Yinglong was already covered in injuries.
Its entire body was covered in huge ravines.
At this moment, Jiang Li had already lost 15,000 years of his lifespan!
The River of Forgetfulness was 1,200 miles away!
“This guy! Why hasn’t he fallen yet?”
It was as if his lifespan had been lost in a short period of time, causing Jiang Li to feel the intense pain of suffering from internal injuries.
He was anxious and could only force himself to remain calm on the surface.
Amidst the continuous collision, he already wanted to retreat.
The Southern Duke Dragon King was stronger than he had imagined.
If this continued, the first to collapse might be him, the current Human Emperor.
He decided that if he could not rush over in fifteen minutes, he would turn around and return to the Yellow Spring Road.
He could not be surrounded by them again.
“Oh? What’s that?”
In this battle, his Human Emperor’s Battle Halberd opened a huge hole in Yinglong’s stomach.
Although it was only for an instant, he saw a strange spiritual light from the hole.
What was hidden in Yinglong’s stomach?
There was definitely something amiss!
No matter what it was, he had to get that thing out and take a look.
The two sides continued to fight without any defense, but after having a target, he attacked the abdomen of the Yinglong every time.
The red-eyed Yinglong did not seem to notice this.
Soon, a huge hole was opened in its stomach.
Rotting internal organs and the mud at the bottom of the river surged out.
Accompanying it was a strange stone.
The stone was spherical and its surface was full of holes.
However, the strange thing was that spring water was flowing out of those holes.
This was nothing.
However, now, it was within the Great Drought Domain that Jiang Li had released.
That stone could actually still flow with spring water?
Even the six ancient Water Gods could not do it, but a stone could?
After the stone left its body, Yinglong’s movements changed at the same time.
Clearly, it became much slower.
The joints that could originally move nimbly also seemed to have rusted. With a move, a large amount of flesh dried up.
Jiang Li’s eyes lit up. So it was this stone! It was the reason why Yinglong was stronger than the other Water Gods! It was also because of this that it could persist under the power of the Drought Demon for a long time without being defeated.
The precious stone ball left its body. At this moment, Yinglong also discovered that something was wrong. It woke up from its hatred for the Human Emperor, and it hurriedly lowered its head to swallow the stone.
However, its withered body restricted its speed.
A stream of light flashed past, and a few mountain-like dragon teeth were broken and sent flying.
In the gap of the huge mouth, Jiang Li stretched out his hand to grab the stone ball and escaped from the dragon’s mouth.
Without this stone ball, Yinglong’s speed could no longer catch up to Jiang Li.
After passing through, he ran all the way and finally successfully arrived at the other side.
He hurriedly closed his right eye. The eyeball inside was as hot as a red-hot iron ball.
He pressed his right eye tightly and quickly took out Nine Nether Earth Fruits with his other hand and stuffed them into his mouth.
After eating 600 Nine Nether Earth Fruits, the feeling of weakness in his body eased.
After this matter, he had to eat more Nine Nether Earth Fruits. He had to at least maintain his lifespan above 200,000 years all year round to feel more at ease.
Without the power of the Drought Demon, the River of Forgetfulness immediately swept back, and waves surged to devour people.
The Southern Duke Dragon King wanted to rush out and attack Jiang Li like a lunatic.
However, it could not leave this river at all.
It had just stretched out half its body when it was grabbed by an invisible hand.
Its front claws, which only had two fingers left, plowed a deep ravine in the ground and were dragged back into the water.
It could only spit water at Jiang Li in the river in vain.
However, how could this method injure the current Human Emperor?
After putting away the Dragon Imprisoning Lock and retreating a distance, he could already hear Yinglong’s angry roar.
“I just helped you remove a stone. Do you have to be so angry?”
After taking a breather, he roughly recovered.
Only then did he have the time to check his gains.
Without the suppression of the Drought Demon’s power, the hollow stone ball in his hand began to spew out a torrent.
Moreover, the speed was quite fast. In just ten breaths, a wide lake gathered in a depression below.
What was even more surprising was that after leaving the dirty River of Forgetfulness, three strands of water attribute immortal qi actually appeared in this stone ball in front of Jiang Li.
There was no precedent for three strands of immortal qi to be born in one go on the path of the Nine Provinces.
What was this stone ball?
In ancient legends, there had been no such treasure. Perhaps it was some strange item that had never appeared.
After using appraisal, it proved Jiang Li’s guess.
The name that popped up was [Eight Desolates Six Directions Connate Spring Eye].
This thing was ordinary and was actually a Connate Numinous treasure!
According to the information below, Jiang Li knew its origins.
As the name suggested, this hollow stone was essentially a spring that could continuously spew water.
It did not sound like a big deal.
However, this thing was the culprit behind the continuous floods in the ancient Great Desolate.
A stone ball that was slightly larger than a millstone actually caused a flood in the entire Great Desolate!?
The amount of water that came out of nowhere was simply unbelievable.
Later on, when the humans were controlling the water, they were discovered by Great Yu.
He used the Sea Calming Needle to suppress the Eastern Sea.
After millions of years, because the Sea Calming Needle was pulled away by the stone monkey, this thing appeared again.
At that time, the Eastern Sea was almost destroyed.
The Eastern Sage Divine Continent, which was adjacent to the Eastern Sea, had also suffered a huge shipwreck and countless casualties.
It was not until Yinglong came with King Yu’s decree and swallowed it to suppress it that the calamity dissipated.
After Jiang Li finished reading, he seemed to have come to a realization.
When he watched “Journey to the West” back then, he still felt a little strange.
Even if Great Yu inherited the position of the Human Emperor later on, he would not be so rich that he could casually throw away a precious treasure like the Sea Calming Needle.
Moreover, when the stone monkey pulled out the needle, the Four Seas Dragon King even shouted that he would cause a huge calamity and that the four seas would be in danger.
Why did the calamity stop in the blink of an eye?
It turned out that there was such a key existence.
“Earth fuels metal and metal fuels water.”
“This thing is just right for me!”
Jiang Li found a larger hole in the stone ball, and then his fingers turned black as he stabbed it in.
Spirit Essence Absorption, activate!
