The Great Ruler

Chapter 920 - Treasure Hunting

Poosh! Poosh!

The ancient talisman runes were being gradually dissolved by the liquid formed by the Fallen Origin Pellets. In just more than ten breaths of time, the talisman runes before them were slowly being torn apart and a crack, which was a few dozen feet in size, appeared.

When that crack appeared, there was an ancient and desolate aura that surged out. The pressure contained in the aura instantly made Mu Chen's body turn stiff. There was a tragic feeling mixed in the ancient aura, as if it had proved the battle between the Fourth Palace Master and the Skyeater Evil Emperor's disastrous battle from the ancient times…

Mandala maintained a calm look on her face as she gently waved her hand, dissipating the ancient aura, allowing Mu Chen and the rest to restore the control over their bodies. All of them had fear written on their faces. This truly was an Earth Sovereign Realm Treasury, to actually be so dangerous. Just the aura from the entrance had already left them greatly intimidated.

If Mandala wasn't there to lead them, they wouldn't even dare to enter it.

"Let's go, be more cautious."

Mandala's tender voice gave a sense of security for the experts of the Great Havenlaw Domain. Finishing her words, she had entered the spatial crack with the three Emperors and Kings following after.

When Mu Chen and the rest stepped into the spatial crack, they could feel the ancient desolate aura blowing over. But fortunately, they came prepared this time. Thus, they had gradually adapted to it, before raising their heads and sweeping their gazes around this unfamiliar space.

This spatial realm was like a starry sky, it was a dark realm with space being distorted from time to time, emitting violent and chaotic fluctuations.

There were large and small pieces of rock in the shattered space. There were some larger sized rocks that were simply like mountains.

However, they had only swept a glance before their gazes had landed far away. In that space, there was a colossal and indescribable black pyramid that quietly stood. Even if the distance between them was great, the oppression and shock that it gave them still caused them to suck in a chilled breath.

"These are floating rock islands. There should be some perished experts hidden in them, and if you're lucky enough, you might even be able to get an Ancient Artifact, Divine Art, Pellets and all sorts of materials." Mandala took a glance at those floating rock islands as she said.

Hearing Mandala's words, the eyes of the Kings all lit up.

When Mandala saw their response, she lightly smiled. "I will go up ahead to scout the route with the three Emperors. You guys can look around. If any of you encounter any danger, then crush the jade that I have given you guys, and I will come to your rescue."

The Kings had all contributed in the Hunting War, but they had finally managed to get into such a treasure land, so Mandala was more than willing to let them look for their own opportunities.

"Thank you, Domain Ruler!" The Kings all revealed joy on their faces when they heard her words. Experts that could perish here were undoubtedly pinnacling existences. If they could obtain the things left behind by them, then it could grant a great increment to their fighting capabilities.

Mandala nodded her head, then her golden pupils looked at Mu Chen, signalling for him to be cautious, before flying off with the three Emperors.

When the Kings saw the departure of Mandala and the Emperors, they exchanged a glance before revealing smiles and swiftly dispersed, moving towards those floating islands.

Mu Chen and Nine Nether weren't separated, but chose to stick together before aimlessly moving about. They were constantly sweeping their sharp gazes over the surrounding floating islands.

Along with their departure, noises of rocks shattering swiftly resounded in this silent space. Those were the Kings forcefully shattering the rock islands to search for the things that were left behind by the perished experts.

Although this sort of method was a little barbaric, it was the most efficient method under this situation.

Boom!

Mu Chen threw a fist out and a torrential Spiritual Energy whistled. His ferocious fist had shattered the huge rock that was a hundred feet in size. Shards of rock shot out in every direction, but there wasn't anything to find within it.

When Mu Chen saw that, he gave a helpless shrug to Nine Nether. No one knew how many rocks were there floating here, so they could only rely on luck to search for treasure.

Nine Nether slightly bent her ear and could vaguely hear a burst of loud laughter. Immediately, she cast her lips aside. "Someone seems to have found something, I wonder which lucky fellow that is."

Mu Chen smiled as well, and just when he was about to move out, his heart suddenly trembled, before clenching his fist. The Spiritual Compass appeared in his hand.

"The Spiritual Compass seems to have an exceptionally keen sense in the Spiritual Energy undulations here. If there's anything left behind, then it should be able to sense it…"

When Nine Nether heard his words, a look of surprise flashed in her eyes. If the Spiritual Compass was really useful, then it's definitely a treasure-seeking artifact. At the very least, it was more efficient than shattering rocks like barbarians.

Mu Chen held onto the Spiritual Compass as he swiftly flew out. Although he wasn't sure if the compass was useful, he had to give it a try at least.

Whoosh!

The two of them swiftly flew past numerous floating rocks, dodging areas with distorted space along the process. In less than a minute or two, they had flown past over a dozen rock islands. But what left the two of them disappointed was the fact that there weren't any movements from the Spiritual Compass.

"Looks like this Spiritual Compass isn't of much use." Nine Nether slowed down her speed and helplessly said.

Mu Chen gently sighed. But just when he was about to give up, a buzzing noise suddenly rang out before his sigh ended.

The buzzing noise was extremely soft, but it was still sensed by Mu Chen and Nine Nether. Immediately, the two of them were stunned before they abruptly looked down and saw a dot of light finally lighting up from the Spiritual Compass, which had no movements before.

"There's something!" Nine Nether became overjoyed.

Mu Chen's eyes slightly lit up, before lifting his head and fixed his gaze onto a rock island not too far away. That rock island wasn't too conspicuous, with the size being roughly a hundred feet. It was extremely ordinary-looking amongst the other rock islands. However, Mu Chen knew that the lit dot, which was indicated on the Spiritual Compass, was pointed towards that direction.

Mu Chen and Nine Nether exchanged a look and their silhouettes moved, then immediately appeared before that rock island. The two of them joined together and threw their palms forth. Boundless Spiritual Energy shot out, shattering that rock island.

Whoosh!

As crushed rocks flew about, Mu Chen and Nine Nether's eyes lit up, before the two of them flew over to the rain of rocks.

The two of them moved separately and appeared before the light, then made a grab for it. Their Spiritual Energies turned into a halo and trapped the light within.

Boom! Boom!

In the Spiritual Energy halo, the light was like a barbaric bull that frantically attempted to break free, causing ripple fluctuations in the Spiritual Energy halo. That energy made Mu Chen feel a little astonished and he swiftly circulated his Spiritual Energy to gradually suppressed the light.

Once the light calmed down, only then did Mu Chen direct his gaze over. There was actually a crimson long needle that looked as delicate as a bull's hair in the light. Although it didn't look too remarkable, Mu Chen could see innumerable runes carved on the needle with his keen perception. Furthermore, every single rune on it actually looked like ferocious beasts.

Crimson light surged on the surface of it and was vaguely emanating a ferocious aura, causing Mu Chen to be slightly startled in his heart.

Mu Chen gently circulated a strand of Spiritual Energy into the crimson needle. After the long years, the needle was already an object without an owner. Therefore, Mu Chen could easily get it under his control.

When Mu Chen obtained control of it, there was some information that surged into his mind from the needle.

Myriad Beast Needle, a consumable-type High Rank Divine Artifact. Refined with the blood essence of myriad beasts, it was extremely ferocious and required the blood essence of the user to use it. The stronger the blood essence, the more powerful it would be…

"It's actually a consumable-type High Rank Divine Artifact!"

Mu Chen grinned. Although a consumable-type Divine Artifact had a flaw that it couldn't be reused, there were also benefits with it. The power of it would be stronger than ordinary High Rank Divine Artifacts.

Furthermore, this item was hidden extremely well, which made it hard for others to defend against. If it was used against an enemy, then it would have an unexpected divine effect.

Just as Mu Chen inwardly rejoiced, Nine Nether had flown back as well. At this moment, there was an unconcealable joy on her face, she must have gotten something pretty good as well.

Mu Chen looked at Nine Nether, and before he could ask, the latter had already opened up her hand. On her palm, there was a bead-sized emerald-green pellet that emitted a faint light on its surface. The light had formed into the shape of a phoenix, and had vaguely emitted a clear cry of a phoenix.

The pellet's ancient and dense fragrance was being emanated from it, which made the Spiritual Energy in Mu Chen's body to show signs of increasing.

"Phoenix Rebirth Divine Pellet, refined by the blood essence of a Phoenix Clan. If a Divine Beast of a similar species refines it, there will be a great boost to their bloodline, and if there's enough luck, then even a crow can be reborn into a phoenix…" Nine Nether smiled.

When Mu Chen heard her words, he couldn't help clicking his tongue in praise. He never expected Nine Nether to obtain such a divine pellet. She was a Nine Netherworld Bird to begin with, and possessed the Undying Bird's bloodline. The Undying Bird was also in the same clan as the Phoenix, so such a pellet could be considered as a divine object for a Divine Beast like Nine Nether.

Borrowing the Spiritual Compass, the both of them had an ample harvest in this treasure hunt.

"Seize the moment and search for more!" Nine Nether stored the Phoenix Rebirth Divine Pellet and wished to continue the treasure hunt. It looked like the harvest this time had piqued her interest in treasure hunting.

To them, this region was a genuine treasure land!

Mu Chen nodded his head with a smile. They had done so much just to enter the Earth Sovereign Realm Treasury, so if they didn't make use of this opportunity, then all their efforts would have been in vain.

The two of them flew forth once again, and borrowed the power of the Spiritual Compass. There was another response in just a few minutes. Furthermore, the discovery this time had left the both of them astonished.

That's because the light dot on the Spiritual Compass was actually as dazzling as a blazing sun. Even such a situation had not appeared when they discovered a Grade-1 Ruin!

Compared to the outcome of the previously discovered rock island, it was a day and night difference!

Mu Chen and Nine Nether both looked at the Spiritual Compass in shock and had sucked in a cold breath. Just what could it be to cause such a commotion in the Spiritual Compass?!

Could it be a Peerless Rank Divine Artifact or something even stronger?
