Chapter 793: Yin Sha Gourd
In a stretch of ruins, waves of cold, desolate, and deathly aura emanated. Many people surrounded this space, their gazes fixed on a figure standing atop the rubble.
That person had a face like polished jade, born with an imposing and heroic bearing. Yet, within his bright eyes, there was a cold, sinister smile as he swept his gaze over the crowd. Around his body, a terrifying cold and deathly aura continuously swirled and released, extremely frightening.
What truly made the crowd most wary was a gourd in his hand. This gourd was wreathed in yin aura, carrying a desolate and deathly presence that made hearts tremble. No one knew how many had already died at the hands of this gourd.
"Duan Wuyai, we are all from the East Sea Dragon Palace after all. How can you keep all the treasures for yourself? Besides this gourd, you must have obtained other treasures as well. Shouldn't you share some with your fellow disciples? That way, we can help you deal with others."
A figure draped in a dragon robe stared at the young man. This person was from the East Sea Dragon Palace, and as for the young man, it was Duan Wuyai, the one Lin Feng hated to the bone.
"Since we've entered here, everything depends on one's own ability. What I obtain naturally belongs to me. If you want it, you can come and take it from me. If you have the strength, I certainly wouldn't mind handing over the treasures." Duan Wuyai said with a faint smile, but his cold voice made everyone feel ill-intentioned. Duan Wuyai's strength was already formidable, and now that he had obtained this gourd, he was even more terrifying, almost impossible to approach.
"Do you want it or not? If not, I'll be on my way." Duan Wuyai smiled, causing the crowd's expressions to stiffen. Were they just going to let Duan Wuyai leave like this?
"Die!" At that moment, a figure suddenly appeared behind Duan Wuyai, charging at him to kill.
"Kill!" Seeing this, several figures in front also rushed forward. They were unwilling to let Duan Wuyai leave like this. As long as there was even a sliver of a chance to obtain the treasure gourd, they had to seize it.
Duan Wuyai glanced behind him indifferently, completely unconcerned. A mass of cold aura drifted around him, enveloping his entire body. A dark cloud moved, and the terrifying palm strike from the person behind directly slammed into the dark cloud. However, the dark cloud then directly engulfed that person's body. A miserable scream rang out, and the person's body was torn apart, blood splattering everywhere.
"Such cruel methods." The crowd's expressions stiffened at the sight. This Duan Wudao's methods were too brutal, tearing people to pieces.
"You seek death, so I'll grant it." Duan Wuyai's form solidified again. He pointed a finger at the gourd, and a terrifying gray dark cloud shot out from it, striking those people, enveloping their bodies. Then, the crowd watched as those people died within the dark cloud, turning into nothingness, dead beyond dead.
"So terrifying." The crowd's eyes were somewhat stiff. That gourd was too powerful, killing without drawing blood. As long as one was enveloped by the cold dark cloud from the gourd, death was certain.
"Does anyone else want this treasure of mine?" Duan Wuyai swept his gaze over the crowd and said lightly. Those people's expressions stiffened, and a heavy silence fell. That gourd was too terrifying; enough people had already died. If they tried to seize the treasure again, they would likely be killed as well.
"If you don't want it, then I'll be going." Duan Wuyai smiled faintly, then his body flickered and vanished from the crowd in an instant. Soon, the crowd could only see a dark cloud lingering there.
Duan Wuyai was in the void, a cold gleam flashing in his eyes.
"The corpse aura here is the heaviest. I actually discovered the mansion of a Venerable Sovereign and obtained quite a few treasures. The other three Venerable Sovereign mansions should also have strong yin aura." Duan Wuyai thought to himself, extending his consciousness to sense the cold corpse aura. His perception of yin aura and corpse aura was extremely sharp; otherwise, he wouldn't have found this Venerable Sovereign tomb that had been buried and turned into ruins.
This one Venerable Sovereign tomb had already brought him tremendous benefits. If he could find the other three Venerable Sovereign tombs, the thought alone was exhilarating.
Some time after Duan Wuyai left, Yu Tianji actually arrived at that ruined area, his gaze flickering uncertainly.
He glanced at another person and asked, "What happened here?"
That person glanced at Yu Tianji and laughed, "Someone found a treasure vault, obtained several extremely powerful artifacts, and fled in that direction. If you want treasures, you can go after him."
Yu Tianji's gaze condensed, and he smiled without speaking. Of course, he knew the other party had ill intentions, but he didn't mind. His gaze was fixed on the ruined area.
With a step, true yuan converged around him, as if true yuan force gathered on his body. Yu Tianji walked toward the ruined area. Starlight twisted everything, and Yu Tianji actually entered the ruins.
The surrounding crowd's eyes condensed, staring at Yu Tianji. This person had actually stepped into the ruins.
"Hmm?" The crowd looked at each other, then their gazes flickered. Their bodies also moved, following Yu Tianji into the ruined area. What could be underground?
However, after some time, only Yu Tianji broke through the earth and rushed out, while the others seemed to have sunk like stones into the sea, with no sound at all.
Standing in the void, Yu Tianji's gaze flickered uncertainly. The cave dwelling had such powerful yin and evil aura. After entering, if not for the indestructible starlight protecting his body, he might have had difficulty coming out. The person who seized the treasure must also have extraordinary means, managing to obtain rare treasures from this yin evil Venerable Sovereign's underground palace.
Glancing at the ground, Yu Tianji sighed. Those who followed him in had likely all died inside.
He raised both hands, and specks of starlight flickered incessantly, as if seven stars were blooming with dazzling radiance. Two points of brilliant light shot into two directions. One direction was directly below him, while the other pointed to the place where Jun Moxi and the others had seized the treasure.
The other five stars slowly revolved, as if moved by the two fixed starlights. In the end, the five stars pointed to five directions, causing Yu Tianji to sigh.
"If I could find the third Venerable mansion, the fourth would be easy to locate."
He murmured softly, then took a step and vanished, heading in the direction indicated by one of the starlights. The directions pointed by these five starlights were likely to reveal the third Venerable mansion.
After Yu Tianji left, many more people arrived at this location, including Lin Feng and his group.
"Such heavy yin and evil aura." Lin Feng murmured. The corpse and evil aura here was very strong. A great battle had occurred, and no one knew how many had died.
"I sense the same aura. Perhaps this is the second Venerable Sovereign's mansion being discovered."
Yun Feiyang's gaze condensed, looking at the ruined area. "In the past few hundred years, many people have entered this secret realm. Could it be that no one discovered these Venerable Sovereign mansions until today, and they are all about to appear?"
"Everything is fated. Perhaps the master of the Emperor's tomb wanted to emerge a thousand years later, or maybe among those of us who entered this secret realm this time, someone is destined to receive their inheritance." Jun Moxi murmured. The world of martial arts was impossible to explain clearly; mysterious events often occurred. An empire could be desolate for a hundred years with no geniuses emerging, and then suddenly, geniuses would gather to contend for supremacy. The rise of the brightest star was destined to be set off by the fall of countless meteors. These were all fate.
"That's right. Maybe this Emperor's tomb is also going to appear this time." Huangfu Long chuckled. Lin Feng neither confirmed nor denied, saying, "I hope so. Let's go check the other two directions."
With that, the four of them soared into the air. Since the four Venerable Sovereign mansions were in four directions, and two had already appeared, the other two Venerable mansions must be in the other two directions. It was just that the exact locations were too hard to find.
News of the Venerable Sovereign mansions gradually spread. Many people who had entered the secret realm learned of it. Even those who didn't know had found some powerful treasures in other palaces and mansions, including many will crystals that could be used for enlightenment and cultivation. Some had even obtained essence crystals, though these people kept their treasures tightly hidden, and few knew about them.
