Sizzle!
Sizzle!
Under the corrosion of the liquid from the Fallen Origin Pellets, the ancient runes gradually dissolved. In just ten-odd breaths, the runic seal before Mu Chen and the rest was slowly torn apart and a crack that was roughly ten-odd feet in size appeared before them.
When that crack appeared, an ancient desolate aura surged out. The pressure contained in that aura had caused the bodies of Mu Chen and the rest to instantly turn stiff. That ancient aura was mixed with a sense of brutality, as if it had witnessed the destructive battle between the Fourth Palace Master and the Skyeater Evil Emperor in the ancient times.
Mandala maintained a calm expression as she gently waved her hand, dissipating the ancient aura, allowing Mu Chen and the rest to regain their freedom. However, every single one of them had palpitations on their faces. It was truly worthy of being an Earth Sovereign Realm Treasury to be so dangerous. Just the aura from the entrance alone had greatly intimidated them.
If it wasn't for Mandala leading the way, they wouldn't even dare to come to such a dangerous place.
"Let's go, be careful."
Mandala's tender voice gave everyone in the Great Heaven Domain a strong sense of security at this moment. As she spoke, she had stepped into the spatial crack with the three Emperors, Mu Chen and the other various Kings following behind her.
When Mu Chen and the rest stepped into the spatial crack, they could sense the ancient desolate aura sweeping over. However, they were somewhat prepared this time.
Thus, they gradually got used to it and raised their heads, sweeping their gazes around.
He observed this strange space.
This space was like a starry sky, with the entire space in a faint dusk. Space would occasionally distort, emanating violent and chaotic fluctuations.
In the shattered space, there were countless large and small boulders floating in the air, some of which were larger in size.
Some of the larger ones were like mountains.
However, Mu Chen and the rest only swept their gazes briefly before they stopped in the distance.
Soon, it stopped in the distance, where an indescribably massive black pyramid quietly stood, even though it was extremely far away.
However, the pressure and shock that permeated through the air still caused Mu Chen and the rest to suck in a breath of cold air.
"Some of these floating islands should be hiding some fallen experts. If we're lucky, we might be able to obtain some ancient divine weapons, divine arts, divine pills, etc." Mandala glanced at the floating islands and said.
Hearing Mandala's words,
The eyes of the various kings instantly lit up.
Seeing this, Mandala smiled faintly and said, "The Three Sovereigns and I will scout ahead. You guys search on your own.
If you encounter any danger, crush the spirit jade I gave you earlier, and I will come to your rescue. "
In this Hunting War, the various kings had all contributed to it. Now that they had finally entered the treasure land, Mandala was happy to let them search for their own opportunities.
"Thank you, Domain Ruler!" When the various kings heard her words, joy was written on their faces.
Experts that could fall near the Earth Sovereign Realm were definitely top-tiered figures.
If they could obtain some of the items that they left behind, then it would be a great boost to their fighting strength.
Mandala nodded her head as she cast a glance at Mu Chen, signaling him to be careful, before turning into streaks of light and flew out with the three Sovereigns.
When the various kings saw Mandala's group of four leaving, they exchanged a look and smiled, before swiftly splitting up and heading towards those floating islands.
Mu Chen and Jiu You did not split up, but chose to form a team of two and aimlessly flew out, sweeping their sharp gazes at those floating islands.
Along with the group splitting up, sounds of islands shattering swiftly resounded in this silent space. Those were the sounds of the various kings forcefully shattering the islands to search for the items left behind by the fallen experts.
Although this method was a little barbaric, it was extremely effective in this situation.
Boom!
Mu Chen sent a fist rumbling out as boundless Spiritual Energy whistled out. That ferocious fist directly smashed a giant boulder that was a hundred feet in size apart. Crushed rocks covered the skies and covered the earth as they splattered out. However, there wasn't anything else that could be seen.
When Mu Chen saw this scene, he helplessly shrugged his shoulders towards Jiu You. He had no idea how many floating rocks there were in this space, so he could only rely on his luck to search for them.
Jiu You slightly tilted his ears and vaguely heard some laughter coming from the distance. Immediately, he cast his lips aside and said, "Someone seems to have found something. I wonder which fellow's luck is so good."
Mu Chen smiled. Just when he was about to move out, his heart suddenly trembled and he clenched his fist. The Spiritual Compass had appeared in his hand.
"This Spiritual Compass is extremely sensitive to Spiritual Energy fluctuations. If there's really something left behind from the ancient times, then it should be able to sense it." Mu Chen said after pondering.
When Jiu You heard his words, a smear of joy flashed in her eyes. If the Spiritual Compass really had such an effect, then it would truly be a treasure hunting tool. At the very least, it would be more effective compared to them forcefully shattering the mountains.
Holding onto the Spiritual Compass, Mu Chen swiftly flew out. Although he wasn't sure if the Spiritual Compass would be effective here, he still had to give it a try.
Whoosh!
The two of them swiftly flew past the floating rock islands, avoiding some spatial distortions along the way. In just a short span of one to two minutes, they had already flown past dozens of rock islands. However, the two of them were a little disappointed that there wasn't any reaction from the Spiritual Compass in their hands.
"Looks like the Spiritual Compass isn't of any use here." Jiu You slowed down her speed and helplessly said.
Mu Chen gently sighed and was also about to give up. But just when he sighed, a buzzing noise suddenly resounded.
Although the buzzing sound was extremely faint, it was still sensed by Mu Chen and Nine Nether. Immediately, the two of them were stunned, before they abruptly lowered their heads to look at the Spiritual Compass. There was finally a dot of light on the Spiritual Compass that hadn't shown any movements.
"There's a commotion!" Jiu You rejoiced.
Mu Chen's eyes also lit up.
He raised his head and swept his gaze around, before locking onto a stone island not far away to his right. That stone island was not conspicuous.
That rock island wasn't conspicuous, but it was roughly a hundred feet in size and looked extremely ordinary amongst the floating rock islands. However, Mu Chen knew that the light dot on the Spiritual Compass was here.
Mu Chen and Jiu You exchanged a look before their figures flashed and appeared before the rock island.
The two of them made a move at the same time and threw a palm out.
Boundless Spiritual Energy swept out and shattered the rock island with a single palm.
Whoosh!
As the rocks shot out, Mu Chen and Nine Nether's eyes lit up as they looked at the rocks that covered the sky.
Two beams of light shot out.
The two of them split up and appeared before the beam of light in a flash. Grabbing out with their palms, their Spiritual Energy formed into a halo that immediately sealed the beam of light.
Boom!
Boom!
Within the Spiritual Energy halo, the streak of light was like a raging bull as it crazily collided against it. It actually caused ripples to form on the Spiritual Energy halo. The strength of the collision caused Mu Chen to be slightly shocked and he immediately circulated his Spiritual Energy.
Only then did he gradually suppress the beam of light.
When the beam of light completely calmed down, Mu Chen looked over and saw a crimson needle that was as fine as a cow's hair.
There was actually a crimson needle that was as fine as a cow's hair. Although the crimson needle looked unremarkable, Mu Chen's sharp eyes could see that there were innumerable runes engraved on the body of the needle. Furthermore, there were even more runes engraved on it.
Every single rune was faintly discernible.
They were like the faces of ferocious beasts.
A crimson lustre surged on it, vaguely emitting a ferocious aura that made Mu Chen feel slightly fearful in his heart.
Mu Chen carefully circulated a strand of Spiritual Energy into the crimson needle. After tens of thousands of years, the crimson needle was already an ownerless object. Therefore, Mu Chen could easily obtain control over it.
When Mu Chen obtained control over it, some information from the crimson needle flowed into his mind.
Myriad Beast Needle, a consumable High Rank Divine Artifact. Refined with the Blood Essence of ten thousand beasts, it's ferocious and overbearing. It requires one's own Blood Essence to activate it. The stronger the Blood Essence, the more powerful it will be.
"It's actually a consumption-type High Rank Divine Artifact!"
Mu Chen grinned. Although this consumption-type Divine Artifact had a drawback of not being able to last for long, it also had its advantages. It was that its might was much stronger than ordinary High Rank Divine Artifacts.
Furthermore, this item was extremely well-hidden and hard to defend against. If it was used against enemies, it would definitely be able to catch them off guard.
While Mu Chen was inwardly rejoicing, Jiu You had also returned. At this moment, there was an unconcealable smile on her cold face. She must have obtained something pretty good.
Mu Chen looked at Nine Nether. But before he could ask, the latter had already opened her hand. In her palm, there was a dragon-eye sized pellet that was emerald-green in colour. The surface of the pellet was emitting a faint lustre that formed into the image of a soaring phoenix. Vaguely, there were clear phoenix cries resounding.
An ancient and dense pill fragrance was emitting from the pellet, causing the Spiritual Energy in Mu Chen's body to show signs of surging.
"This is?" Mu Chen exclaimed in astonishment.
"The Transformation Phoenix Divine Pellet, refined from the Essence Blood of the Phoenix Clan. If a Divine Beast of the same species consumes it, it will strengthen its bloodline. If there's enough luck, it can even transform a crow into a phoenix." Jiu You smiled.
When Mu Chen heard her words, she couldn't help clicking her tongue in praise. Clearly, she never expected that Jiu You would be able to obtain such a divine pellet. Right now, she was Jiu You's Dark Sparrow, possessing the bloodline of the Undying Bird. The Undying Bird was also part of the Phoenix Clan. Therefore, this divine pellet was practically a divine item for a Divine Beast like Jiu You.
With the help of the Spiritual Compass, Mu Chen and Jiu You had a bountiful harvest in this treasure hunt.
"Let's not waste any more time and continue searching!"
Jiu You stored the Transformation Phoenix Divine Pellet as she spoke with unsatisfied tone. It looked like the harvest this time had completely hooked her treasure hunting heart.
To them, this area was a real treasure trove!
Mu Chen nodded her head with a smile. They had spent so much effort to enter the Earth Sovereign Realm Treasury, so if they didn't reap some benefits, then they would be wasting their efforts.
Thus, the two of them flew out once again and the Spiritual Compass displayed its miraculous power. In just a few minutes, there was another response. Furthermore, this time, it had caused Mu Chen and Jiu You to be shocked.
That's because the light dot on the Spiritual Compass had become as dazzling as a blazing sun at this moment. Such a situation had never appeared, even when they were searching for a Grade-1 Ruin!
The result of the previous exploration on the rock island was completely different from the current one!
Mu Chen and Jiu You looked at the Spiritual Compass in shock as they inhaled a mouthful of chilled air. Just what was it that could cause such a reaction from the Spiritual Compass?!
Could it be a Peerless Rank Divine Artifact or something even more powerful?
