Chapter 1299: Choices

Anyone enveloped by this golden light was trapped in a state of suspended time.

Immediately, the three approaching human race elders were struck, their holy bodies shattered by a dragon claw.

They were swiftly drawn into the star gate by Yuan Lord to recover.

At that moment, Yuan Lord gazed solemnly at the Xuanhuang Supreme Treasure, which radiated golden light.

"Yuan Lord, can you hold out?" Xu Fan asked with concern.

"I can manage. It seems I’ll need to use full strength this time," Yuan Lord replied as he steadied himself.

Meanwhile, the ancient star summoned by the star gate shattered, transforming into a river of stars that merged into the chaotic law form.

Yuan Lord’s aura surged as he gripped his long spear and clashed directly with the Chaotic Holy Dragon.

However, even with his full strength, he was still at a disadvantage against the Chaotic Holy Dragon alone.

Watching the battle unfold, Xu Fan considered whether to reveal his trump card.

"Leader of the human race, only now are you using your full strength? Isn’t it a bit late?" the Chaotic Holy Dragon sneered.

"Whether it’s late or not, we’ll see after the fight."

The spear, forged from condensed stars, struck the Chaotic Holy Dragon’s eye once more, but the attack was easily deflected.

Yuan Lord was then sent flying by a powerful tail swipe.

"Yuan Lord, this isn’t looking good. Strong Defensive Strength alone won’t be enough," Xu Fan remarked.

"Whether it’s enough or not, we’ll find out soon enough," Yuan Lord replied. His figure flickered, and in an instant, he appeared on the back of the Chaotic Holy Dragon, mounting it directly.

The Chaotic Holy Dragon, feeling deeply insulted, erupted in fury.

The golden light sphere burst with blinding radiance, engulfing Yuan Lord.

But with the protection of the star gate’s virtual image, Yuan Lord remained unaffected.

Seated on the dragon’s back, Yuan Lord’s eyes were cold and indifferent as he clung to the Chaotic Holy Dragon, the two locked in a stalemate within the Chaotic Mist Area.

"To dare enter the Chaotic Holy Dragon’s dragon soul directly—I hope nothing goes wrong," Xu Fan muttered anxiously.

Within the grand formation, Xu Fan could still use his trump card to protect Yuan Lord.

But inside the dragon soul space of the Chaotic Holy Dragon, Xu Fan was powerless to intervene.

In the dragon soul space, the Chaotic Holy Dragon stared at Yuan Lord with a look of disdain.

"You truly are bold."

As it spoke, the dragon soul lunged at Yuan Lord.

Yuan Lord dodged swiftly, and the star gate materialized, bringing forth the three human race elders who had completed their healing.

"After all these years, I finally get to use the move I’ve been imagining," Yuan Lord said with a grin.

"Even with four of you, this dragon soul space is under my control."

In an instant, the surroundings began to shift.

The dragon soul world transformed into a realm of the Dragon Race.

In the Dragon Race World, countless true dragons were flying frantically towards Yuan Lord and the three human race elders.

At this moment, Xu Fan, who was watching from outside the grand formation, felt a bit helpless as he observed the motionless Chaotic Holy Dragon and Yuan Lord.

"This move was supposed to be saved for the critical moments; it’s not time yet," he thought.

Unable to help, Xu Fan could only wait outside the grand formation.

He waited for 300 years.

While Xu Fan was idly playing chess with his temporary avatar, a star gate suddenly appeared within the grand formation.

The three human race elders emerged, and Yuan Lord awoke on the back of the Chaotic Holy Dragon.

"That was not easy; if it weren’t for my skills on the path of the soul, I might have really been swallowed by that dragon soul," the revived Yuan Lord said with relief.

"We won!" Xu Fan said excitedly.

"Of course we won; your Primordial Heaven Origin Grand Formation deserves the credit," Yuan Lord replied.

At this time, Xu Fan looked at the Chaotic Holy Dragon with shining eyes.

"Xu the Divine Master, I leave the body of this Chaotic Holy Dragon to you; see if you can find some good stuff from it."

"But let’s be clear, the Dragon Whip and Dragon Bone are mine," Yuan Lord said, a hint of fatigue in his voice.

The other three human race elders also looked quite drained.

"Understood," Xu Fan replied happily.

With the death of the Chaotic Holy Dragon, a heavy burden had been lifted from his heart.

Xu Fan ended the battle and approached the Chaotic Holy Dragon.

He soon found a hidden space for storing treasures within one of its dragon teeth.

In an instant, the area inside the light armor was filled with treasures from the Chaotic Holy Dragon.

"Yuan Lord, how should we divide this?" Xu Fan asked.

"Just split it evenly; you can choose 20% first, and I’ll take the rest," Yuan Lord said before taking the three elders into the Human Palace.

Their spirits and energies were severely depleted, and all they wanted now was to get some sleep.

"I only need two of the 11 Xuanhuang Supreme Treasures."

"The remaining miscellaneous items can be split evenly."

After Xu Fan collected his share, he let the spirit of the Human Palace gather up the rest.

Having completed everything, Xu Fan gazed excitedly at the scales of the Chaotic Holy Dragon.

"These scales, infused with the essence of the Primordial Supreme Treasure, can easily be refined into a protective innate spiritual treasure."

"Ten scales would produce one innate supreme treasure."

"Putao, help me count how many scales are on the Chaotic Holy Dragon." Xu Fan said excitedly.

"365,000 scales, the number of the Zhou Tian," Putao answered.

"One thousand dragon scales can refine into one defensive Xuanhuang Supreme Treasure; that’s 365 treasures!" Xu Fan exclaimed with enthusiasm.

Now looking at the huge Chaotic Holy Dragon as if it were a gold mine, he found it more and more adorable.

"Dragon horns, dragon eyes, Dragon Heart, dragon teeth—each of such quality could easily produce two Xuanhuang Supreme Treasures."

"What’s crucial is that the Chaotic Holy Dragon fused with the Primordial Supreme Treasure, so it should contain the chaotic truth. If that can be extracted, it would be even more incredible."

Xu Fan’s expression grew increasingly amazed as he sat atop the dragon head of the Chaotic Holy Dragon, entering a special state.

Yuan Lord emerged from the Human Palace and did not notice.

"Xu the Divine Master, what are you thinking? Your mouth is grinning so wide."

Yuan Lord’s voice woke Xu Fan from his reverie.

"I’m considering a matter of choices," Xu Fan pondered.

"What matter? Let me help you choose," Yuan Lord said with interest.

"Which is more important, the 373 Xuanhuang Supreme Treasures or the chaotic truth?" Xu Fan replied lightly.

In an instant, a massive aura spread from Yuan Lord.

He quickly approached Xu Fan, staring intently at him as he said, "We can extract the chaotic truth from this Chaotic Holy Dragon!"

"Yes, every Primordial Supreme Treasure contains the chaotic truth, and since this Chaotic Holy Dragon has fused with the Primordial Supreme Treasure, it can certainly be extracted. It might be a bit troublesome and there is a possibility of failure," Xu Fan explained.

"Chaotic truth is, of course, what matters most."

"Getting Xuanhuang Supreme Treasures can be managed with some effort, but the chaotic truth is not so easily obtained," Yuan Lord exclaimed excitedly.

"Once the chaotic truth is extracted, the entire Chaotic Holy Dragon will be rendered useless, and your Dragon Whip and Dragon Bone will also become worthless."

"I’ve calculated it—the entire Chaotic Holy Dragon can still yield 373 Xuanhuang Supreme Treasures even after excluding the Dragon Whip and Dragon Bone you want," Xu Fan said.

"The chaotic truth cannot be exchanged for even the most abundant Xuanhuang Supreme Treasures."
