Chapter 398: 398 Earth Grade Spirit Treasure
[Obtained a shard. Current shard count: six.]
After Gu Yang had killed the Celestial Being monster, he mentally communicated with the Human Emperor’s Sword, “Thanks. ”
Then he put it back into the Beast-taming Space.
It was due to the Human Emperor’s Sword that he could easily kill a monster of the Celestial Being level. Without the amplification of this sword, his consumption of the Immortal Element would be at least thirty percent higher.
And also, he might not be able to kill that monster with a single sword stroke.
The power of the Human Emperor’s Sword had a natural counterbalancing effect on the monsters.
After the monster was killed, only one piece of rainbow-colored feather clothing was left behind. By the looks of it, it was not an ordinary item. He picked it up, and instantly a prompt appeared before his eyes.
[Shard detected, do you want to extract it?]
As expected, it was a Spirit Treasure. The fact that it could withstand the power degradation from a Celestial Being level monster and yet remain intact meant that it was not an ordinary Magic Treasure.
“Yes.”
[Extraction successful. Obtained a shard. Current shard count: seven.]
However, the matter wasn’t settled here.
Gu Yang looked up at the thousands, tens of thousands of monsters surrounding him, their crazed onslaught marching towards him.
Among these monsters, some had a Cultivation Level equivalent to the Nascent Soul; the majority were of Golden Core status. Although their individual Cultivation Levels weren’t high, the sheer number of them could be overwhelming. Harassed by the various negative emotions they projected, his Daoist Heart was under a hefty assault.
This was enough to annihilated any ordinary person.
Furthermore, killing these several thousand monsters was a taxing feat that could leave him utterly drained.
The most crucial point was that now he would gain nothing from slaying these low-level monsters.
He wasn’t willing to expend that sort of effort.
“Rise!”
He took out something from his Beast-taming Space. After infusing it with the power of the Immortal Element, he threw it out.
It was a picture which, upon being thrown out, enlarged continuously, subsequently opening up a black whirlpool that sucked in the surrounding monsters.
Spirit Treasure, the Underworld’s Picture!
He got it from killing an old man when he was in the Water Moon Cave Heaven. He kept this Spirit Treasure specifically to deal with these monsters.
Monsters and Wronged Ghosts were similar — both formed after the death of a person.
Previously, he learned from the Primordial Spirit of the Giant Spirit Hammer that the existence of monsters in the world was due to the leakage of the Underworld River into this world.
Indeed, it was a kind of ghostly creature.
The Underworld’s Picture was a Spirit Treasure specifically used for dealing with these ghostly wronged souls.
This Spirit Treasure was truly formidable, in mere moments, it swallowed up thousands of the monsters. The image on the Underworld’s Picture had taken on a chaotic color, appearing even more bizarre.
…
Not far away, seeing Gu Yang easily slay another God Transforming monster, Tang Yue finally relaxed.
With the general monsters left, it wouldn’t be so easy for them to break the city-protection formation. Sky Star City finally had a chance to catch its breath.
Once he returned to the city, he could take turns with Lord Sky Star to control the formation. They could hold on until the Four Directions Alliance sent reinforcements to eliminate all the monsters.
After that, they would move the entire Sky Star City away and rebuild the formation…
Tang Yue had already figured out how to handle the aftermath of the situation. Then he saw Gu Yang throw out a Magic Treasure. It transformed into a huge black shadow blocking out the sun before it absorbed a countless number of monsters.
“What is that?”
He was astounded.
What kind of magic treasure can even absorb monsters?
Even in Yellow Springs Cave Heaven, space-related Magic Treasures or even Spirit Treasures could not absorb monsters because they were devoid of a tangible form and were unaffected by the laws of space.
There were also some cultivators on the ghost path who were proficient in manipulating ghosts and refining souls.
But those who attempted to control monsters ultimately couldn’t take control and were instead controlled by monsters.
In every respect, humans had been defeated by monsters.
That’s right!
Suddenly, a flash of understanding crossed Tang Yue’s mind. He finally recalled a Spirit Treasure from the legends that was remarkably similar to the one before his eyes.
“Could it be… the Underworld’s Picture?”
No, that’s impossible.
The Underworld’s Picture was an Innate Spirit Treasure belonging to the realm leader who had once saved the Yellow Springs Cave Heaven, Master of the Yellow Springs Sect.
The ruler of Yellow Springs did protect this world with this Innate Spirit Treasure. The Way of Heaven was not completely shattered and was preserved to some degree.
However, after that encounter, the Underworld’s Picture was destroyed.
According to the rumors, the Realm Leader of Yellow Springs left Yellow Springs Cave Heaven to repair the Underworld’s Picture.
Still, whether or not Gu Yang’s Magic Treasure was the Underworld’s Picture, it certainly wasn’t an ordinary Spirit Treasure if it could devour monsters.
Tang Yue’s heart filled with increasing reverence.
