Chapter 1518: Chapter 1517: The First Hundred-Million-Year Fierce Beast Core

The cultivators looked at the fierce beast core with glowing eyes, showing greedy expressions.

Originally, a fierce beast core of millions of years was already a rich enough reward for them.

How could this bone dragon have no core, and then suddenly one falls out?

It’s truly puzzling.

Fang Yu didn’t even glance at the cultivators kneeling on the ground; instead, his gaze fell on the bone dragon.

The gigantic bone dragon was cut into two but still remained a colossal creature.

"It really is like fossil resurrection... unimaginable."

Anyone with some geographical knowledge knows that Earth’s age far exceeds millions of years; the estimated geological age is 4.6 billion years.

The earliest marine organisms appeared hundreds of millions of years ago.

That’s just what current science has discovered and doesn’t mean nothing else was there before.

Science also found that humanity is the fifth civilization on Earth. What the previous four civilizations were is unknown.

However...

Fossil resurrection still leaves people immensely shocked.

Having absorbed the cultivators’ primordial qi and essence blood, the core regrew. If this thing continued its slaughter, who knows what it might grow into.

It proves that these fossils hidden underground are better left undisturbed.

In the entirety of Huaxia, Fang Yu alone has reached the Heavenly Master Realm, while others lack the strength to confront a fierce beast of ten thousand years.

...

Then, Fang Yu examined the fierce beast core in his hand.

The core of a billion-year-old beast absorbed energy and essences far beyond imagination.

Still, Fang Yu doesn’t have much need for such things; having reached the Heavenly Master Realm, he long surpassed the stage of needing energy absorption to enhance cultivation.

"Leaving this to them should be better."

The ’them’ referred to his brothers and sisters at Tiandu Mountain.

Yet the people behind him thought he meant them, hastily kowtowing to express their attitude.

"Respected Emperor Yu, you struck down the fierce beast with one sword and now bestow this core upon us. Your great kindness and virtue, we cannot repay."

Upon hearing this.

Fang Yu slightly frowned and said:

"You truly are shameless. Did I say I’d give you the core? Don’t think I don’t know what you’re up to. Building fortresses here is to keep fierce beasts in their lairs, not to provoke them!"

The crowd exchanged bewildered looks.

"Cultivators should stand united. At critical times, instead of fighting fierce beasts, you still seek personal gain! With people like you, wanting the fierce beast core? Dream on."

These people turned red with shame from Fang Yu’s words.

It was clear Fang Yu saw through their plan perfectly.

Fang Yu turned his back on them with his hands behind him and coldly said:

"You all fail to contribute to the Cultivator World, scheming and deceiving daily, truly disappointing!"

"Emperor Yu, spare us! Emperor Yu, have mercy!"

These cultivators were on the brink of tears. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Can they not cry?

That proclaimed Primordial Human Immortal, Old Qu, their leader, couldn’t even withstand a move from Fang Yu, let alone them.

"Here’s the deal... you ten remaining, go to Demon Island for 300 years of confinement."

years of confinement?

This was being lenient.

Immediately, someone kowtowed and said, "Thank you, Emperor Yu, for sparing us!"

Just being alive is already quite good.

How could one expect not to be punished?

Demon Island, after years of reform by Chen Daotian, has become an impregnable prison.

Not only does it imprison the world’s most heinous criminals, but also various powerful cultivators who made mistakes.

To this day, aside from being able to maintain its full appearance and original purpose after the great disaster, Demon Island remains.

Since the establishment of Wanxian City, Chen Daotian and others have rebuilt order and arrays around Demon Island.

Nowadays, Demon Island has become a place that strikes fear.

"Thank you, Emperor Yu, for sparing us!"

Being confined here is an honor in itself.

Upon coming out after 300 years, one can even show off.

Not considered a severe punishment.

Fang Yu indifferently glanced at them and said, "I’ll seal the Abyss with an array. The fierce beasts inside are beyond human capability to withstand. Now... all of you, retreat."

"Yes!"

Fang Yu sent the message to Chen Daotian.

Chen Daotian gladly agreed and arranged for the brothers at Jiangzhou’s branch to go and arrest them.

...

The next day.

Fang Yu did not return to his residence, as Ye Wenjun and others weren’t there either.

Instead, he headed to Zhou Hai’s place.

Zhou Hai had said in his message that there was something to report.

Fang Yu arrived at Zhou Hai’s dwelling.

Upon seeing Fang Yu, Zhou Hai bowed and reported, "Your Excellency, Emperor Yu! I’ve discovered that the doors left by the Demon Cave creatures on the surface have all been closed!"

"They’ve been closed?" Fang Yu asked in confusion.

"Yes, yesterday there was intense crustal movement, all fierce beasts in the world were frightened, and somehow they launched attacks on human cities. Thankfully, the human cultivators united and resisted the fierce beasts, resulting in minimal human casualties."

Fang Yu nodded.

He roughly understood why.

With Zhao Mengxue’s death, the Abandoned Demon Heavenly Emperor also saw his strength.

The Abandoned Demon Heavenly Emperor likely decided to abandon the attack on the day of Nine Stars in a Row, thereby closing the exits.

"Understood... yet be on guard, share this intelligence with the three major territories, and even if the Demon Cave has closed its exits, keep a lookout. Humans cannot trust the demons."

"Yes!"

Zhou Hai bowed respectfully.

At that moment.

A servant walked in, bowed and said, "Master, the Zhao Family head and his son seek an audience."

"The Zhao Family?"

"The Zhao Family head said there’s urgent business and that if they aren’t granted an audience, they won’t leave for a day."

Zhou Hai frowned.

He knew the relationship between Fang Yu and the Zhao Family. The Zhao Family had offended Emperor Yu, yet dare to be this high-profile, like sticky plaster, without any shame.

They may not value their lives, but he still valued his.

"Tell them to scram!" Zhou Hai directly rebuked.

Just as he finished speaking.

Fang Yu raised his hand and said, "Let them in."

"Ah?"

"Since I’m free today... I also want to ask them something," Fang Yu said calmly.

"Yes, I shall follow Emperor Yu’s command."

Zhou Hai gestured to the servant.

The servant went out.

Not long after.

The Zhao father and son, Zhao Tianzhao and Zhao Ziyun, swaggered in with four or five Zhao family disciples in tow, somewhat aggressive and accusatory.

Upon seeing Fang Yu, they assumed an all-knowing air.

"As expected, His Excellency Emperor Yu is here...."

The group saluted Fang Yu.

Fang Yu blandly said, "Enough, get to the point."

"Since the Emperor Yu is so straightforward, I won’t beat around the bush either... My granddaughter Zhao Mengxue left the Zhao Family two days ago and hasn’t returned. So... we hope His Excellency can return my granddaughter to us!"

"Insolent scum! Your granddaughter is missing; what’s that to do with Emperor Yu? Moreover, mind your attitude. Do you even deserve to talk to Emperor Yu like that?" Zhou Hai chastised.
