Seeing the strange look on Qin Shi's face, everyone curiously followed him. Haoyue moved closer to him and asked, "Shi Tou, is this the treasure you were talking about?"
Qin Shi nodded without hiding anything. "En."
Haoyue winked as she stared at the Jade Dragon Orb. However, she hesitated. The Jade Dragon had already been destroyed by the Sword Sect's Spirit, and the orb no longer had its previous luster. It was extremely dim. She said in confusion, "That's strange. No matter how I look at it, I can't see anything precious about it."
Qin Shi smiled and shook his head. Shortly after, he squatted down and picked up the orb. Since he said that the orb was a treasure, then it naturally had something extraordinary about it.
Holding the orb in his hand, he closed his eyes slightly. An extremely faint strand of Spiritual Energy rose from his palm. He had practically exhausted all of his strength.
Suddenly, the orb flickered. Shortly after, Haoyue furrowed her brows. The orb was like a Blue Dragon. It had actually formed a green barrier around it. Then, within the barrier, there were several familiar lights.
"This, this is the Array from before?
Shi Tou, how did you do it? "Haoyue exclaimed in excitement.
Qin Shi retracted his Spiritual Energy. This short consumption of Spiritual Energy had already caused sweat to appear on his forehead. It could be seen how serious his injuries were. He smiled at Haoyue and pointed at the orb in his hand.
Suddenly, Haoyue came to a sudden realization. "You're saying that the Array was created by this orb?"
"You're right, and you're wrong. Actually, this orb is the Array from before …"
"What?
This pearl is the formation? "Haoyue blinked in confusion.
Qin Shi nodded, then explained, "The formation that sealed the entrance of the cave was actually formed by the combination of the Jade Dragon Pearl and the Jade Tiger Pearl. If I'm not wrong, this pearl should have been created by the owner of this mausoleum. It has a very strong reserve of spiritual power, and as long as spiritual power is used to drive it, the formation can appear again. Don't you think this pearl is an extraordinary treasure?"
Hearing this, Haoyue came to a realization. His eyes couldn't help but burn with passion. He had seen how powerful the formation was before. Now that he was able to use the formation for his own use, this pearl was truly an extraordinary treasure.
"No wonder. You saw through this a long time ago. That's why you know how to break the formation, right?"
Qin Shi didn't hide anything and smiled. Actually, he wasn't sure in the beginning. He only vaguely felt that this pearl was extraordinary through his telekinesis and his understanding of formations and boundaries over the years, but he wasn't 100% sure.
The main reason was that when everyone was blocked at the entrance of the cave and the first disciple tried to break the formation, he accidentally saw a flash of light from the Jade Dragon Pearl. Only then did he confirm his suspicions.
It was also because of this that he pretended to decline when Yin Bingming invited him. From the very beginning, he had set his sights on these two pearls.
After all, think about it, a formation that could stop over a thousand disciples, and there was no lack of disciples who were above the fifth layer of the Heaven Peak Realm. If such a formation was in his hands, how powerful would it be?
Not to mention the future, the participants of this God Territory Ceremony were all well-known figures from the eight territories. Just Chen Gan from the Chaotic Territory was enough to make him feel unparalleled pressure. Even Yu Wenshang had a Domain, so Chen Gan was definitely above the Domain Realm.
Given his current cultivation base, it was impossible for him to be a match for someone at the Domain Realm.
Moreover, the Dragon Regiment from the Forbidden Zone and the Thousand Mountains Serene Maiden from the Purgatory were all opponents he would encounter sooner or later on his path to becoming the champion. If he didn't become stronger, he wouldn't have the right to become the champion.
Every time he thought of this, he couldn't help but clench his fists.
In this precarious situation, he could only take one step at a time. He turned around and looked in the direction of the destroyed Jade Tiger in the other direction. Then, he approached the ruins step by step.
He walked over to the ruins and started searching through it. Although the Jade Tiger had been destroyed, he knew that the pearl wasn't. The Jade Dragon And Jade Tiger was just a tool to activate the pearl, while the pearl was the main body of the formation.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up. When he dug up a patch of sand, a Jade Tiger Pearl that looked very similar to the Jade Dragon Pearl appeared in his vision.
"I was right!"
His black eyes flashed with excitement, and he reached out to grab the pearl.
Swoosh!
Suddenly, a cold light flew in without anyone noticing. Just as Qin Shi was about to grab the pearl, the pearl was suddenly swept up. A figure floated above the ruins and weighed the pearl in his hand. He grinned at Qin Shi and said, "Tsk tsk, kid, no wonder you didn't go in with them. It's not because of your injuries, but because there's such a treasure here. These idiots don't even know that they've been used."
Qin Shi's eyes turned cold. This person's appearance was too sudden. Haoyue and the other two were slightly stunned. They frowned and said, "Where did this person come from?"
"He was here before. He just took advantage of the chaos to hide himself."
Zi Lingsha clenched her fists. "If Stone wasn't injured, he wouldn't have been able to dodge Stone's telekinesis. However, Stone was also injured. Coupled with the mixed spiritual power in this tomb, we didn't notice him."
"Damn it, what is he trying to do?" Haoyue muttered angrily.
Staring at the figure, Qin Shi's expression was solemn as he asked, "Who are you?"
"Who am I?
It doesn't matter who I am. What's important is that this treasure belongs to me from now on. "The figure grinned and his smile was filled with mockery.
However, before Qin Shi had a chance to ask, the figure's gaze suddenly changed. He stared at Qin Shi ferociously and said coldly, "Also, I want the one in your hand."
"Hmm?"
Qin Shi's heart suddenly sunk. Immediately, the figure lowered its body. Like a crouching cheetah, it stomped its foot and pounced at Qin Shi.
"Stone!"
At that moment, no matter if it was Kong Hyun-hui, Zi Lingsha or even Haoyue, they were almost a thousand meters away from Qin Shi. On the other hand, the figure was only a few dozen meters away. By the time they wanted to help, it was already too late.
"How dare you!
I'm going to kill you! "Zi Lingsha shouted anxiously.
However, that figure seemed to have steeled his heart. He rushed in front of Qin Shi with a single step. This figure's cultivation was not considered high. He was only at Heaven's Peak Level 3. If he was in his previous state, Qin Shi was even confident that he could kill him.
However, he was currently seriously injured. His spiritual energy was even weaker than an ordinary person's, let alone a Heaven Pinnacle Stage expert. He could only grit his teeth and take a step back.
Bang!
However, as soon as he took a step back, the figure caught up and kicked him hard in the chest. His expression changed drastically as he spat out a mouthful of blood and was sent flying hundreds of meters away.
"Stone!!!"
Zi Lingsha's eyes were bloodshot. A purple cold air rose from her body. Even Kong Hyun-hui and Haoyue were shocked and took a step back.
"Cough, cough!"
Qin Shi collapsed on the ground and coughed a few times. Suddenly, his vision darkened. The figure had charged in front of him and was staring at Qin Shi coldly.
"Kid, I know you. You're the guy who wreaked havoc in the Chaotic Realm a year ago. I didn't expect you to have two weapons. But because of that, I have to kill you. Even if I offend those two women, I have to kill you. Otherwise, I won't have a good ending."
Qin Shi narrowed his eyes mockingly. "Cough, cough, even if you kill me, you won't have a good ending."
"Hmph, you're about to die, and you still dare to threaten me!"
The figure's eyes turned cold. He was really taking a gamble. Actually, from the moment he chose to attack Qin Shi, he was prepared to take a big gamble. He had been sending Qin Shi flying out of the tomb. He was prepared to kill Qin Shi and then leave the tomb. He didn't want any treasures in the tomb. He knew that with his strength, he wouldn't be able to compete with the geniuses of the Eight Regions. So, he thought that as long as he could get the pearl of the Jade Dragon And Jade Tiger and leave this place alive, this Deity Realm Ceremony would be worth it.
"Go to hell!"
The figure raised his foot. From the soles of his foot, a heavy yellow air wave formed. It was as if even the air was shattered by him. He stomped hard on Qin Shi.
"Stone!!!" Haoyue and the other two shouted anxiously.
Qin Shi couldn't help but turn pale. He had never expected that he would die in the hands of such a weakling. He clenched his fists unwillingly.
But suddenly, he frowned and a strange look flashed in his black eyes.
Swoosh!
A piercingly cold light shot down from the sky.
Bang!
Suddenly, there was a loud sound in the tomb. The cold light sent the sole of the foot that was about to land on Qin Shi's chest flying. This caused the figure to lose his balance and take a few steps back. The look in his eyes changed.
"Who's there?" He shouted at the sky.
But suddenly, without giving him a chance to understand the truth, a cold and gloomy aura suddenly came from behind him, causing him to turn his head in horror. He saw a purple clothed, already appeared behind him, Zi Lingsha's beautiful eyes were filled with killing intent, her jade-like hand rushed towards his neck and grabbed.
"I'll kill you!"
Zi Lingsha was furious like never before. The coldness that flickered on her charming face even froze the air between heaven and earth. Strands of purple cold air rose from her body. Her lily-white hands emitted a dazzling light. Her fingernails were like sharp daggers, fiercely piercing into the figure's skin.
The figure was grabbed and struggled with all his might. However, in front of everyone's eyes, he slowly shriveled up. All the water in his body evaporated, and in the end, he actually became a dried corpse.
Looking at this scene, everyone was in a daze.
"So, so scary …" Kong Hyun-hui subconsciously raised her guard. In that instant, she actually felt an intense fear from Zi Lingsha's body.
Qin Shi also frowned. Although he was heavily injured and could not circulate spiritual energy in his body, with his body that had been tempered hundreds and thousands of times, he could easily judge that the strength of the figure's attack was not something a normal disciple from the eight regions could do. It was at least at the third layer of the Heaven Pinnacle Realm.
A third layer of the Heaven Pinnacle Realm was actually killed just like that?
"I've still underestimated her."
Qin Shi snorted with lingering fear. But suddenly, a clap fell into his ears and woke him up from his shock.
Clap clap clap!
A figure clapped his hands and slowly walked out from the darkness. The corner of his mouth curled up. "Impressive, impressive. Truly impressive."
Qin Shi turned his head and gathered his qi towards the figure.
