Chapter 1629 The Divine Fox of Grand Prophecy's Divination
The second the Abomination broke out of its seal, Yuan activated Swords of Eternal Torment. Once the Abomination's massive body was covered in swords, immobilizing it, Yuan instantly transformed. His hair and eyes turned a majestic gold, and his aura erupted like a volcano, radiating immense power.
"T-that's?!" Liya's eyes widened with shock after seeing Yuan's dragon transformation for the first time.
'Not only does he know Dragon's Gaze, but he can even transform?!' she stared at Yuan's handsome face with a dazed expression.
Meanwhile, after his transformation, Yuan retrieved Number One Under Heaven and prepared to launch Heaven Splitting Sword Strike.
He had to control its power so that it didn't exceed the strength of a Divine Grandmaster and accidentally destroy the world, but he also had to ensure it was powerful enough to completely obliterate the Abomination in one strike.
After taking a moment to adjust and gather spiritual energy, Yuan swung his sword, launching a beam of sword light that enveloped the Abomination's figure.
Fortunately for them, the Abomination wasn't as massive as the one Yuan had faced during the Elite Demon Sealer Examination.
The moment Yuan's Heaven Splitting Sword Strike hit the formation, it triggered a massive earthquake powerful enough to be felt across the entire world.
Cracks spread across the formation, yet it somehow managed to hold together, clinging to a sliver of strength.
When the dust settled and the Qi Family could finally see the situation, they were bewildered to find that Yuan was standing alone and the Abomination had vanished entirely.
"Heavens! He killed a demon with the strength of a Divine Warrior while only being a Spirit Lord!" Qi Man cried out loud, his entire being trembling in awe.
"How on earth is he doing that? Ignoring his Demon Sealing Aura, his strength doesn't match his cultivation! Is he hiding his true cultivation? It doesn't make any sense!" Qi Fang shook her head.
Once the Abomination was defeated, it left behind its Demon Core.
Yuan's eyes widened with surprise when he saw how different it was from an ordinary Demon Core. It wasn't just the size of a watermelon but also pitch black in color.
"This is a Demon Core…?" Yuan mumbled as he picked up the core.
He was also a bit disappointed, realizing it would be impossible for him to consume a Demon Core of this size, as it wouldn't even fit in his mouth.
The Qi Family approached him once they determined it was safe to do so.
"W-what the heck is that?" Qi Fang asked as she pointed at the Demon Core.
"The Abomination's Demon Core. This is also my first time seeing something like this," he said.
Qi Man shivered at its sight and said, "It feels very ominous… What are you going to do with it?"
"I don't know if we can even do anything with it."
Qi Man then said, "In that case, would you mind allowing our family to research it? Of course, we're not asking you to give it to us. It'll still be your property."
Yuan nodded, "Sure. Let me know if you learn anything."
He handed the Demon Core to Qi Man.
"S-so heavy!" Qi Man nearly dropped the Demon Core once it was in his grasp.
The Demon Core was deceptively heavy and weighed several tons.
"Oh, sorry. It was almost weightless for me, so I forgot to tell you." Yuan said with an apologetic smile.
"It's okay…" Qi Man quickly moved the Demon Core back to their private jet.
Sometime later, they returned to the Qi Family to celebrate the demon's extermination with a big feast.
"Yuan, can I bother you to check on our disciples' progress before you leave? It's been some time since their lecture with you, after all." Qi Huan asked him.
"Of course."
During the feast, the disciples put on a performance to showcase their Demon Sealing Aura.
"What do you think, Yuan? Have they improved a little?"
He nodded, "Yes, they've improved, but there's still a lot of work to be done. I would give them another lecture, but I have to return to Cultivation Online by the end of the day. Next time, surely."
"We'll be waiting for your return." After the feast, Liya escorted Yuan back to the Dragon Spiral Mountain.
During their travel, she questioned him, "How did you use dragon transformation? Only those with a dragon bloodline could possibly do such a thing."
"I was able to do that after performing the Dragon Cleansing Ceremony." "The Dragon Cleansing Ceremony?!" Liya was deeply shocked to learn this, finding it unbelievable that dragons, who were famously strict about their traditions and bloodlines, would permit a human to partake in one of their most sacred rituals, especially those of royal bloodlines.
'Which royal bloodline would be foolish enough to do such a thing?' she sighed inwardly.
Once they returned to the Dragon Spiral Mountain, Yuan spoke with the Lord, recounting everything that had transpired.
"An Abomination, huh… That thing would've spelled the end of this world if you weren't here," he sighed.
"As long as I am here, no demon will cause havoc on Earth ever again. Notify me again if they find any more demons."
"Of course."
At the end of the day, Yuan returned to Cultivation Online. "Welcome back. You're just in time for my divination." The Divine Fox of Grand Prophecy had just finished her preparation.
"Now, witness my divination!"
The Divine Fox of Grand Prophecy was suddenly enveloped in a golden aura that expanded outward until it covered the entire Mystic Valley.
"Grand Prophecy, show me the location of the Primal Monarch!" she roared.
A complex and majestic magic circle materialized beneath the Divine Fox, radiating an unfathomable aura. The Divine Fox's eyes glowed with a golden light that shone like a flashlight, and intricate symbols began to form within her eyes.
The Divine Fox remained in this state for several moments until she suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood.
"T-that is impossible…" she muttered in disbelief.
"What happened? Did you fail?" Yuan asked with a slight frown, wondering if something went wrong with the divination.
"No... the divination succeeded, and I have the Primal Monarch's location. But the Grand Prophecy revealed that its location is... here! In the Mystic Valley!" she exclaimed, her voice filled with terror.
"What?" Yuan's eyes widened with shock upon hearing this.
