Chapter 2109: Trash Collector (1/2)

When Huang Xiaolong and the others returned to the Grandmist Emperor Palace's headquarters, they saw its dilapidated state. Palaces were ground to dust as debris floated around in space. Some of the structures were riddled with holes, and some were mere broken pillars standing in the open space.

Among the debris, Huang Xiaolong noticed the fragments of godheads left behind in a recent battle. The stench of blood in the air was fresh, and it belonged to the members of the Grandmist Emperor Palace Wan Shi had killed along the way.

When Wan Shi had attacked the Reverence Moon Old Man and the others, not a single member stationed in the Grandmist Emperor Palace had survived.

After looking at the Grandmist Emperor Palace's ruined state, a chilly killing intent burst out from Huang Xiaolong’s eyes.

“Wan Shi!!! I’ll return this to you a hundredfold! You’ll pay for what you did to my Senior Brother and the rest!” Huang Xiaolong spat.

For several years, Jiang Hong had stood at the top of the Divine World, and the number of experts who paid their respects to the Grandmist Emperor Palace couldn’t even be counted. Everything had turned into dust!

All of a sudden, Cang Mutian walked towards the main palace that was riddled with holes. The expression on his face turned solemn as he said, “It’s the Myriad Worlds Bamboo!”

Myriad Worlds Bamboo! It was the high-grade, level-four origin treasure that had allowed Wan Shi to break into the high-level Sovereign Realm!

The little cow rushed over, and she looked at one of the massive holes in the structure. Her expression sank as she muttered, “What a terrifying offensive ability. The Myriad Worlds Bamboo seems much stronger than before!”

In the past, she had seen the Myriad Worlds Bamboo in action. Even though it was strong, it couldn’t be compared to what she had just seen. If this was the old Wan Shi, he wouldn’t be able to destroy the main hall of the Grandmist Emperor Palace after the combined efforts of the Reverence Moon Old Man, King of Grandmist, King of Darkness, and Du Hai to reinforce it.

“Do you think the Myriad Worlds Bamboo will be able to break the defense of my Thirty-Six Petaled Green Lotus?” Huang Xiaolong asked all of a sudden. He summoned the lotus as soon as he spoke, and all thirty-six petals appeared and revolved around him. As they emitted resplendent rays of green light, they stood ready to defend Huang Xiaolong from any attacks.

Even though there were a ton of things Huang Xiaolong could do with the thirty-six petals, the strongest aspect of the petals was their defensive capabilities.

As long as one refined a level-four origin treasure, they would be able to summon it whenever they wanted. For origin treasures lower than the fourth level, there was an extremely rare chance for the user to gain the ability to summon it. An example of such would be the Lotus of Darkness Huang Xiaolong had refined in the past.

“It’s pretty hard to make the comparison…” The little cow shook her head and explained, “Your Thirty-Six Petaled Green Lotus is a high-grade level-four origin treasure that underwent a transformation. Moreover, its main ability is to defend you. According to logic, it should be a little weaker than the Myriad Worlds Bamboo. Whatever the case, the Myriad Worlds Bamboo wouldn’t be able to break your defense with ease. Everything boils down to your cultivation level…”

Cang Mutian nodded, “She’s right. If you’re stronger than Wan Shi, there is no way for the Myriad Worlds Bamboo to break your defense!”

A frown formed on Huang Xiaolong’s face as he retrieved the Thirty-Six Petaled Green Lotus.

It was at that moment that a whistling sound broke the silence as a huge group of experts charged towards the main hall.

“Wan Shi leveled the Grandmist Emperor Palace to the ground. Even though he couldn’t be bothered to pick up whatever remained of the treasury when he left, treasures are lying all around! All the disciples are to look for anything worth saving! You can’t keep it for yourself. Everything has to be handed over, and you will be rewarded accordingly when we get back!” The leader of the group, a skinny old man, ordered.

“We shall listen to Ancestor Zhen Tian!”

All the disciples quickly spread out as they started searching for treasures lying about.

When the little cow glanced over at them, she recognized them instantly, “It’s the members from the Evil Extermination Emperor Palace.”

The Evil Extermination Emperor Palace was ranked in the top hundred. It was comparable to the Gold Essence Emperor Palace Huang Xiaolong had taken care of previously.

Cang Mutian snorted, “It seems like there are a ton of trash collectors now that the Grandmist Emperor Palace is destroyed by Wan Shi…”

Of course, it was no surprise that people would be scavenging through the ruins of the Grandmist Emperor Palace after they had fallen. The Grandmist Emperor Palace was the number-one-ranked emperor palace in the Divine World. After Jiang Hong had gained control of the Divine World, the Grandmist Treasury had swelled once again. Since the treasures were scattered all around the remains of the emperor palace, everyone was ready to dig through the dirt to obtain some benefits!

One of the disciples from the Evil Extermination Emperor Palace flew towards Huang Xiaolong, and his eyes widened in shock.
