A Top Scholar in Everything-Chapter 988 - 974: The Dragon Bead’s Slumbering Ground

In the Seven Coiling Hall, both Blood Qi and Spirituality were almost completely suppressed to their lowest point.

Don't even mention fighting.

Even perception was extremely difficult.

Hu and Machima were both similarly suppressed to the level of ordinary people. What set them apart from ordinary people now was their physical quality and combat proficiency.

Baiyu could feel it.

The Blood Qi within him was trapped in the Blood and Qi Central Hub, unable to flow throughout his body, making it impossible to use Blood Qi for battle.

If that's the case.

Then obviously, in this Seven Coiling Hall, everyone's gap in strength would be immensely narrowed. Even the experts of the Eclipse Moon Realm couldn't be much stronger.

Baiyu attempted to use the Black Moon Power and the power of the Golden Blood.

The result was that these two forces could be used within him without any effect.

Which means.

The Seven Coiling Hall could only suppress Blood Qi and Spirituality but could not suppress the power from the Divine Spirit, which was not exactly good news.

Because although Baiyu had Alien Power within him.

Those several experts from the Eclipse Moon Realm, the core members of the three major families, certainly also did.

Divine Power.

He wasn't the only one who had it.

Machima certainly had her own trump cards.

The two kept moving forward, the Seven Coiling Hall was eerily quiet, not a soul in sight, nor any sign of activity.

"Can you sense anything in that place?"

At this time.

Baiyu looked at Machima.

She nodded, "Vaguely, but it's so quiet inside the Seven Coiling Hall that I'm not sure if there's any danger in that place."

At this moment.

Although Machima said she wasn't sure, her body was quite honest, constantly moving in a certain direction.

Baiyu followed closely behind.

The two continued to move within the vast Seven Coiling Hall, which was elegantly decorated. Despite the passage of time, there was not a single flaw to be seen.

Time seemed to have no effect within the Seven Coiling Hall.

There were no signs of decay on those things.

After winding through the hallways, they finally reached the place Machima had sensed.

It was a courtyard covered in fallen leaves, quite spacious, with a large tree from which all the fallen leaves originated.

In front of this tree, there was also a well.

At this moment.

There were actually many people in this courtyard.

Apart from Noela Lane, the Eclipse Moon Realm expert from the Lane family, whom Baiyu had seen before, there was a mass of moving darkness representing the Eclipse Moon Realm expert from the Cres Clan, the Dark King.

Both Eclipse Moon Realm experts were present here.

Besides them, there were many others.

Members from the three major families, as well as individual adventurers who proved their capabilities by appearing here.

The first seven trials.

Were not something anyone could pass on a whim.

"Brother, what's going on here now?"

Seeing most of the independent Martial Artists gathered together, Baiyu quietly approached, whispering to a Big Beard Martial Artist.

The Big Beard replied in a low voice, "There seems to be a Dragon Bead under this well, and we're trying to find a way to retrieve it. Of course, the three major families are interested in it as well."

"A Dragon Bead, is there really such a thing?"

Baiyu showed a look of surprise.

The Big Beard chuckled and said, "Who knows, see that stone tablet there? It's the Broken Dragon Well. A real dragon supposedly died here in ancient times.

After all, Seven Coils is known as the Barbaric Dragon Devourer.

But even if there is a Dragon Bead, after so many years, who knows what it's turned into. So everyone's just trying their luck, hoping to stumble upon some heaven-defying treasure that could instantly elevate them to a top-tier expert."

Baiyu nodded, suddenly recalling the scene he saw after drinking the Prayer Apprentice Magic Elixir, where his soul wandered and finally witnessed a colossal Red Dragon.

That should have been a real, living dragon.

He withdrew his gaze from the well and looked at the nearby tree again: "This tree seems to have something wrong with it too. I noticed that both masters from the three major families were very cautious of it, not daring to approach recklessly."

Even with their Blood Qi and Spirituality suppressed, the two Eclipse Moon Realm experts were undoubtedly the strongest people present.

If they truly wanted the Dragon Bead from the well.

They could just take it directly, so there's no need to waste time like they are now.

The only thing here that could threaten them was each other, yet instead of guarding against each other, they were wary of the large tree behind the well.

Such a peculiar scene, how could Baiyu not notice it?

The Big Beard whispered, "You've got sharp eyes, brother. That tree is indeed strange, it seems to be the guardian deity of this well.

When we first arrived, you should have seen it, over a dozen people were strangled to death by the Magic Tree, including those from the three major families and the independent adventurers.

Their corpses were hanging from the tree.

They died with grievances.

But later, all those corpses were devoured by this tree, I didn't see it myself, but some of the older brothers who did almost went insane."

The Big Beard narrated vividly.

Not only Baiyu, even Machima listened intently.

Just as the Big Beard was about to say more.

At that moment, the two Eclipse Moon Realm experts suddenly moved.

The Darkness around the Dark King expanded rapidly, extending all the way to the supposedly long-dead, branch-bare tree.

The black area continued to expand, and wherever it covered.

All the dead branches of the tree were swallowed by the darkness.

Meanwhile.

Noela Lane's body flared with fire, torrents of flame surged towards the dead tree.

Upon seeing the Eclipse Moon Realm experts in action.

The crowd retreated far away, not daring to approach, fearing they might get caught in the crossfire.

The two Eclipse Moon Realm experts began attacking relentlessly.

Yet despite such a powerful assault, the dead tree stood its ground, its trunk unaffected.

After their first round of assaults.

Although many branches of the tree were damaged, the trunk remained untouched.

It seemed to sense danger.

The tree began trembling, and suddenly, the dead trunk burst into vitality,

Vibrant green leaves sprouted forth.

Then.

The green leaves shot out like a rainstorm, sharp as blades, aiming at the two.

Unafraid, the two Eclipse Moon Realm experts charged again, intending to topple this tree by force.

Although the rainstorm-like attack had no effect on them, the indiscriminate 365-degree spray of leaves posed a significant threat to the onlookers.

The crowd decided to withdraw from the courtyard, to avoid the dangerous crossfire.

Just then, a loud dragon roar emanated from the well, as a massive figure surged out from within.
