Chapter 64: Plotting for the Demon Clan’s Supreme Treasure
Ye Fan turned and walked to one side, cursing in a voice barely audible, “That damned Fatty Duan, I curse you to have a son with no asshole!”
“This poor Daoist is a man of the cloth, I won’t take a wife or bear children.”
“You could hear that?” Ye Fan was truly starting to fear him. “Daoist Duan, you’d better leave now. You’ve already snatched three of my spirit treasures. Are you still not satisfied?”
“There is still some unfinished karma between this poor Daoist and young friend…” the fat Daoist replied with a beaming smile.
“You swindler named Duan, you’re going too far!” Ye Fan’s face darkened as he strode down the stone mountain. Unable to provoke this unscrupulous Daoist, he could only leave.
“Karma gathers and scatters. It seems this poor Daoist’s karma with young friend is exhausted today. But who knows about another day? Perhaps we may meet again.” The fat Daoist chuckled without leaving. “For now, this poor Daoist feels a connection with this stone wall and has decided to stay and take a look.”
Ye Fan was very surprised. He hadn’t expected this unscrupulous fatso to be so perceptive, also sensing the unusual nature of the stone wall here. He immediately stopped in his tracks and no longer walked away.
“Since young friend has chosen to stay, I guarantee you will gain something. However, it’s best you avoid those overly dazzling spirit treasures. I truly mean this for your own good. Otherwise, with your cultivation level, you won’t be able to protect a sentient weapon. If someone covets it, you’ll be in big trouble. Not everyone is as compassionate as this poor Daoist. Many people, while seizing sentient weapons, will also kill, and you might even lose your life.”
“Boom!”
At that moment, the five great experts in the distant sky launched a heaven-shaking, earth-shattering strike. The vast, unfathomable divine power seemed like the Milky Way pouring down from the Nine Heavens, and an ocean-like wave of energy swept across the entire sky.
In that instant, all cultivators trembled. Many couldn’t even control their divine rainbows and fell directly from the high heavens. An indescribable palpitation made it hard to breathe. The overwhelming pressure was impossible to resist, and the souls of many cultivators involuntarily quaked.
Such was the terrifying might of the five great figures. Once their divine authority was unleashed, it surged through heaven and earth, causing every living being to tremble in fear.
“Rumble!”
With their final strike, the five supreme experts finally shattered the Demon Emperor’s tomb, unleashing a monstrous surge of demonic energy that rampaged in all directions.
The magnificent ancient hall rumbled as it completely collapsed.
At the same time, endless rays of multicolored light shot out in every direction. All the sentient weapons buried within the ancient tomb burst forth. Among them, several beams of light were exceptionally dazzling, blazing so brightly they illuminated the sky like small suns. Without a doubt, these were the most powerful spirit treasures.
The five supreme experts each employed their great divine abilities, reaching out with massive hands. Almost every one of them caught a treasure, revealing satisfied smiles. However, several sentient weapons, as brilliant as small suns, slipped through their grasps, soaring into the sky and escaping.
Yet the peak experts did not give chase. They stood their ground, sweeping the surroundings with powerful divine sense as if searching for something, letting the various sentient weapons transform into rays of light and flee.
The vast, unfathomable waves of energy surged toward the distant sky. All cultivators went mad, disregarding the danger as they chased through the boundless radiance, seizing the sentient weapons.
The Demon Emperor’s tomb was completely shattered. Even the rubble scattered in all directions, leaving only a dazzling mass of energy waves at the scene.
“Where is the supreme treasure of the Eastern Wasteland human race?”
“The Demon Emperor’s weapon, said to be no less inferior to our Eastern Wasteland human race’s supreme treasure—why hasn’t it appeared either?”
The five supreme experts all showed puzzled expressions, continuously scanning with their powerful divine sense.
“Boom!”
Just then, from the undispersed mass of dazzling light, a beam of brilliance shot out, so bright it dimmed the sun, moon, and stars.
It was too dazzling, like the sun exploding!
Even the five transcendent great figures found it hard to open their eyes, their pupils stinging from the glare. But they reacted with lightning speed, reaching out with their massive hands in an instant.
“Chi!”
The divine light tore through the air. It possessed unparalleled, immense energy, like an entire universe in turmoil. The terrifying fluctuations were vast and unfathomable, repelling all five experts and instantly dimming the weapons in their hands!
The dazzling divine light streaked across the sky, causing extremely terrifying energy fluctuations. Many cultivators in the vicinity fell from the high heavens. It radiated an unmatched demonic power, as if an entire world was burning, with nothing able to stop it.
“It’s the weapon wielded by the Demon Emperor in life, comparable to the Eastern Wasteland human race’s supreme treasure!”
The five experts realized this. Three of them immediately gave chase. The other two did not leave, wanting to search for the legendary Eastern Wasteland human race’s supreme treasure.
In the distance, Ye Fan was stunned. He saw that the dazzling beam was heading straight for the stone mountain.
Beside him, the fat Daoist rubbed his hands together, grinning widely. “This Daoist is truly blessed. This Demon Emperor’s weapon is no worse than the Eastern Wasteland human race’s supreme treasure. If I get it…”
“Can you even catch it?” Ye Fan asked anxiously. The Demon Clan’s supreme treasure was about to arrive. If the fat Daoist couldn’t catch it, it would crush them to dust—a truly tragic fate.
“You have a point. This Daoist doesn’t seem to have that much good fortune. Even if I could catch it, I’d be slapped to death by the three big shots behind it. Time to scram!” With that, he grabbed Ye Fan and, faster than a rabbit, shot to another mountain with a “whoosh.”
The Demon Emperor’s weapon emitted tens of thousands of divine rays. The radiance was so brilliant it was impossible to see its form. The blazing light made it impossible to open one’s eyes, as if billions of stars were burning simultaneously. The entire world shook violently as it crashed into the stone mountain with a “boom.”
“It’s over…” The fat Daoist kept rubbing his hands. “This is bad. There must be a rare treasure under the stone mountain, but it can’t withstand the impact of the Demon Clan’s supreme treasure. It’s probably turned to ashes. What a pity.”
That area was completely submerged in light, becoming an ocean of energy. The vast, surging waves flung all nearby cultivators away. Some who were too close directly exploded into clouds of blood mist.
But then, something astonishing happened. The stone mountain cracked open, and from within, an incredibly soft green glow burst forth. Beams of green light shot into the sky.
It was a very gentle and holy radiance that calmed the mind. The faint green hue was full of vitality, like an oasis floating in the sky.
At that moment, a huge green treasure basin surged up from underground, sucking the Demon Emperor’s supreme treasure inside.
“Boundless that that that… Heavenly Venerable!” At that moment, the fat Daoist’s tongue was tied. He forcefully exhaled before speaking normally, shouting, “It’s the Demon Clan’s Treasure-Gathering Basin!”
“Someone was hiding there, ready with the Treasure-Gathering Basin. What a scheme, plotting for the Demon Clan’s supreme treasure!” The fat Daoist instantly understood why the stone wall there could attract sentient weapons. Inside was the legendary Treasure-Gathering Basin. Although that person had been suppressing the basin with divine power, it still managed to draw some sentient weapons over.
The Treasure-Gathering Basin looked like it was carved from green jade, so green it seeped into one’s bones. Radiant and holy, its green glow filled the sky, incredibly soft, making one feel comfortable all over.
At that moment, within the Treasure-Gathering Basin, an extremely dazzling mass of light was shining—the Demon Clan’s supreme treasure. Its radiance was vast and blinding, making it impossible to see its true form. It spun continuously within the basin, like a universe revolving. Not only did vast, unfathomable demonic power surge forth, but blazing divine light also shot out constantly.
Ye Fan’s heart shook. The person standing before the Treasure-Gathering Basin was peerlessly elegant, the most beautiful under heaven—it was the perfect woman he had seen not long ago.
Now, she was ethereal and holy, still flawless and without blemish, her beauty unmatched in the world. She quickly put away the Treasure-Gathering Basin, transformed into a streak of light, and flew into the distance, leaving behind a string of heavenly laughter: “Thank you, seniors, for your help. Otherwise, even if the Demon Emperor’s descendant came in person, it would be truly difficult to collect the Great Emperor’s supreme treasure…”
The three great figures who had pursued her wore cold expressions. They had inscribed many “Dao patterns” outside the Demon Emperor’s tomb, condensing an extremely powerful “heavenly momentum.” Although it hadn’t stopped the Demon Emperor’s supreme treasure, it had greatly slowed its unstoppable impact. In the end, someone in the shadows reaped the benefits. Otherwise, even with the legendary Treasure-Gathering Basin, they couldn’t have taken the Demon Emperor’s supreme treasure.
The three great figures struck simultaneously, attacking the streak of light about to disappear at the horizon. This attack was so powerful that even ghosts and gods couldn’t stop it, and even they themselves couldn’t withstand it. Like a tsunami, the terrifying energy waves surged over instantly. The entire sky seemed to catch fire, blindingly bright. All nearby cultivators were terrified and quickly dodged.
However, this powerful strike seemed to hit empty space, touching nothing. There, a flood of multicolored light rose, and the woman flickered and vanished, disappearing into the soft radiance in an instant.
“That little demoness was prepared. She inscribed ‘Dao patterns’ there, condensing ‘heavenly momentum,’ and crossed the void. She’s probably thousands of miles away by now.”
The three great figures’ voices were icy. Someone had made moves right under their noses, snatching the food from the tiger’s mouth and intercepting the Demon Emperor’s supreme treasure. This was hard for them to swallow.
“Opening the Demon Emperor’s tomb was easy, but stopping the supreme treasure was extremely difficult. I never thought we would end up helping her…”
With a flash of light, the three great figures disappeared, quickly rushing toward the center of the shattered Demon Emperor’s tomb. The legendary Eastern Wasteland human race’s supreme treasure had yet to be discovered, and that was what they most desired.
“Why hasn’t the Eastern Wasteland human race’s supreme treasure appeared yet…” the fat Daoist muttered softly.
Ye Fan was also very curious. He kept hearing about the legendary Eastern Wasteland human race’s supreme treasure, but still didn’t know what it was. It seemed even those transcendent great figures were extremely eager to get their hands on it.
