Buzz!
A dazzling lustre burst out from the Spiritual Compass. The lustre was so intense that Mu Chen and Jiu You couldn't recover from it. They were stunned for a long time before they exchanged a look.
"Let's go and take a look."
Mu Chen licked his lips. Although he was a little startled by the commotion from the Spiritual Compass, he couldn't let go of such an opportunity.
"Be careful."
Nine Nether also nodded her head lightly, but she still reminded them out of consideration.
Mu Chen nodded his head and used the Spiritual Compass to determine the location before looking towards the west. Immediately, his gaze intertwined with Jiu You's and the two of them flew out without any hesitation.
The two of them swiftly flew past the floating rock islands as their gazes constantly swept around in an attempt to find the source of the dazzling lustre on the Spiritual Compass.
With the location of the Spiritual Compass, they swiftly found a result.
It was a massive rock island with Mu Chen and Jiu You floating before it as they exchanged a look. This was the location that the Spiritual Compass had locked onto, so it should be this rock island.
Boom!
The two of them exchanged a look before they made their moves without any hesitation. Boundless Spiritual Energy formed into a massive palm and in just a few breaths of time, the rock island was shattered.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Shattered rocks shot out in every direction as Mu Chen and Jiu You fixed their gazes on those shattered rocks. Their gazes were sharp as they tried to find anything unusual.
It was hard for them to escape their lock-on.
However, with the passage of time, the rubble was completely blown away.
But what left Mu Chen and Jiu You dumbfounded was that they actually couldn't find anything unusual.
"What's going on?" Jiu You asked in astonishment.
Mu Chen also tightly knitted his brows. They had been extremely meticulous in their investigation, so it was impossible for them to miss it. But why couldn't they find anything?
Mu Chen looked down at the Spirit Searching Compass and was stunned.
This was because he realized that the dazzling light source on the Spirit Compass had not dimmed. This meant that …
The source still existed.
"This island doesn't seem to be the target," Mu Chen said.
"Isn't the location marked here?" Jiu You asked.
"It's indeed here!" Mu Chen's eyes flickered. He suddenly shifted his gaze to the place where the rock island had appeared, and his eyes narrowed.
As he slowly approached, he discovered that the space around the shattered rock island was distorted. However, the degree of distortion was clearly not enough to form a spatial crack.
However, a distorted space was actually hiding inside a stone island. This was enough to make people feel suspicious.
Mu Chen stared at the distorted space and slowly raised the Spiritual Compass in his hand.
Suddenly, the dazzling light source on the Spirit Seeking Compass shot out.
Jiu You also noticed the abnormality.
She quickly came over and stared at the distorted space with a shocked expression.
"It seems to be caused by this distorted space."
Mu Chen said in astonishment. So it turned out that the floating rock island was just a cover, and this distorted space was the true source.
"The treasure is here?" Jiu You said in disbelief.
Mu Chen pondered for a brief moment, before narrowing his eyes.
After a brief silence, he suddenly said, "Can you tear open a spatial crack in this distorted space?"
Jiu You was startled.
"You suspect that the treasure is hidden in this distorted space?"
"Someone must have a motive to hide this place. Since that's the case, there must be a reason behind it." Mu Chen nodded his head.
"Then I'll give it a try."
When Nine Nether heard his words, she nodded her head and clenched her hand. Boundless Spiritual Energy slammed against the distorted space. The Spiritual Energy formed into a huge hand in an attempt to tear a spatial crack in the distorted space.
When Jiu You's Spiritual Energy slammed against the distorted space, she was startled in her heart. That's because she sensed that the distorted space was unexpectedly sturdy.
With her current cultivation at Sixth Grade Sovereign, it wasn't difficult for her to tear open space. But even with her full strength, it was still extremely forceful.
"Looks like there's something strange about this place."
Jiu You clenched her teeth and the Spiritual Energy in her body burst forth without holding back. Instantly, the distorted space violently trembled and a black crack that was roughly an inch in size was slowly being torn apart.
Under Jiu You's full strength, the crack had expanded to roughly two feet. But when it reached that range, Jiu You realised that it was already the limit. Furthermore, the crack seemed to be rebounding, trying to gradually repair the crack.
"Hurry up, I can't hold on for long." Jiu You urged.
"Buzz!"
Seeing this, Mu Chen did not dare to delay and swiftly stretched his hand out. His palm was like the mouth of a tiger as he pulled at the crack. Instantly, Spiritual Energy formed into a vortex on his palm as a terrifying suction force burst out.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
The powerful suction force gushed into the crack and very quickly, shattered rocks shot out. But when they approached the crack on Mu Chen's palm, they were reduced to dust.
Mu Chen had no idea what was behind the crack. Therefore, he did not dare to charge in. If he lost his way in the spatial turbulence, even Mandala wouldn't be able to save him.
Therefore, he could only use this method to borrow the suction force to see if he could forcefully suck the air out of the distorted space.
Poof!
Poof!
Countless shattered rocks shot out and were reduced to dust by the Spiritual Energy vortex. However, there wasn't anything special that appeared.
As time passed, Jiu You's hand started to tremble. She was starting to find it hard to hold on.
Seeing this, Mu Chen could only sigh in his heart. But just when he was about to stop in disappointment, a different voice suddenly resounded from the crack.
Whoosh!
A black light shot out and heavily collided against the Spiritual Energy vortex. However, this time, the Spiritual Energy vortex wasn't able to destroy it. On the contrary, it was shattered by the black light.
Mu Chen's eyes and hands moved quickly. He poured Spiritual Energy into his palm and grabbed the black light.
At the same time, Jiu You was also exhausted. The crack rapidly shrunk and disappeared. The space there returned to its distorted state.
Wiping the sweat on her forehead, Jiu You looked at Mu Chen. At the last moment, she saw the black light that suddenly shot out.
Opening his palm, Mu Chen saw a black object in his palm. It seemed to be a triangular pitch-black metal block. There were some complicated and ancient runes engraved on the surface of the metal block. However, Mu Chen and Jiu You weren't able to sense any Spiritual Energy ripples from it.
Mu Chen and Jiu You exchanged a look. Clearly, they couldn't understand why something that they had spent so much effort to create would be so baffling. From the looks of it, it didn't seem to be a Divine Artifact.
Knitting his brows, Mu Chen tried to pour his Spiritual Energy into it. However, he realised that there wasn't the slightest reaction when his Spiritual Energy flowed into it.
Feeling vexed, the two of them tried various methods. However, there wasn't any reaction from the triangular pitch-black metal block. In the end, Mu Chen and Jiu You could only helplessly give up.
"After so much effort, we ended up with something baffling."
Mu Chen and Jiu You didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Although their intuition told them that this item wasn't simple, it was useless if they couldn't activate it.
"Forget it, let's use this time to search for other treasures."
With a bitter smile, Mu Chen had no choice but to give up. Casually throwing the pitch-black metal block into his Universe Bracelet, he started to use the remaining time to search for other treasures with the Spiritual Compass.
When he probed again, Mu Chen suddenly cast a glance at the distant black pyramid that hovered in the sky. At that moment, he felt that the triangular piece of metal from before was similar to the black pyramid.
However, this thought only appeared for an instant before Mu Chen laughed at himself and threw it to the back of his head. He quickly caught up to Jiu You and the two of them continued to search for treasures.
In the following period of time, Mu Chen and Jiu You made some gains with the help of the Spiritual Compass. However, most of the items that they obtained weren't outstanding. Overall, the items that they obtained for the first time were more surprising.
Buzz!
As the two of them searched for treasures, a buzzing sound suddenly resounded from afar. When Mu Chen and Jiu You heard the sound, they stopped and looked at each other before quickly heading in that direction.
That was Mandala's summoning sound. She must have found the path ahead.
Whoosh!
Above a rock island, the various Kings gathered once again. Looking at the smiles on everyone's faces, Mandala knew that they had their own gains. However, she did not ask them about it, nor did she ask them to hand over their gains.
"Prepare to head for the Earth Sovereign Realm Treasury. I have already sensed that the other peak forces have also entered this space."
Hearing Mandala's words, everyone's hearts trembled. The final battle of the Hunting War was basically the Earth Sovereign Realm Treasury. To obtain the items within, the various peak forces would definitely give it their all, and the competition would definitely be extremely intense.
"Let's go!"
Mandala did not speak any further. She waved her hand and turned into a dark light as she flew out. Her destination was the black pyramid that was extremely far away.
Seeing how swift and decisive Mandala was, Mu Chen did not have the time to speak about the strange item that he had previously discovered. He could only helplessly shrug his shoulders and swiftly followed up with Jiu You and the rest.
When they followed up, Mu Chen saw the faces of the various Kings gradually tensing up and couldn't help letting out a breath. Next up would probably be the most intense battle in the entire Hunting War.
