Chapter 413: Chapter 382: True Monarch of a Hundred Treasures_1

“Stabilize!”

“Hold on!”

Even though the three from the Cluster Stars Sect were injured by the counter-shock, they had no intention of giving up.

Even though their Primordial Gold Bell was not as effective as Xu Mu’s God Refining Tripod, their combined strength was far beyond his. With a shifting balance of power, they still felt confident of suppressing Xu Mu.

Moreover, Xu Mu was closer to their bell and tripod, making him more vulnerable to the sonic backlash. They possessed plenty of healing medicines bestowed upon them by their Sect, which would definitely allow them to endure longer than Xu Mu.

With such thoughts, the three from the Cluster Stars Sect released their Magic Artifacts for protection, continuously manipulating the Primordial Gold Bell to strike at the God Refining Tripod.

In a moment, the chime reverberated continuously, and visible white sound waves spread out like a surging river.

Having a defensive Magic Artifact, along with the aid of the pill, not only did the three from the Cluster Stars Sect managed to resist the sonic backlash, they even seemed rather at ease. On the contrary, Xu Mu appeared to be —

Strange?

Xu Mu had initially intended to deploy his defenses. The reason he hadn’t done so earlier was due to its irrelevance, as the surrounding area was riddled with spatial rifts. Regardless of having defensive measures or not, they wouldn’t help anyway. On top of depleting his Spiritual Power for no reason, it might even risk destroying his Magic Artifact.

The three from the Cluster Stars Sect probably thought the same, which was why they were caught off guard on the first assault. Although Xu Mu was in the same boat, his advancement in Body Refinement made him less reliant on defense, and he would only deploy a shield of Spiritual Power at most.

However, Xu Mu who was about to take action, suddenly halted. His expression seemed somewhat strange. He looked dazed for a moment, then his face lit up with realization, followed by a flash of delight in his eyes. But he quickly composed himself and adopted a look of distress.

Following the sweep of the sound wave, his face turned white as a sheet, and he expelled more blood than before, looking utterly drained.

Xu Mu’s change in facial expression went unnoticed by the three from the Cluster Stars Sect; they only saw Xu Mu struggling to keep up.

“How easy would it be to wield Heavenly Spirit Treasures! This man might have defied all odds with his extraordinary luck during the Nascent Soul Stage, gaining possession of two Heavenly Spirit Treasures, but it’s laughable to think he could harness their full power!” said the star-pupilled teenager joyfully.

“Indeed! He’s doomed now! He actually dares to resist directly!”

Both the white-browed middle-aged man and the hooked-nose old man couldn’t contain their glee, with the excitement even causing their beards to bristle.

If they could suppress Xu Mu, they would be able to obtain two Heavenly Spirit Treasures.

Those were Heavenly Spirit Treasures!

Any one of them could serve as a Sect-suppressing divine artifact for a top-tier Nascent Soul powerhouse like them; it’s something they might not come across in their entire lives with their qualifications.

What’s more, both of these treasures were out of the ordinary, surpassing the abilities of most treasures.

Even among Heavenly Spirit Treasures, they could be ranked high or low based on their respective features. It was clear that both of Xu Mu’s were top-tier items.

Wealth drives people crazy!

An evil thought had even begun to sprout in the minds of the three from the Cluster Stars Sect.

If I could make them mine, wouldn’t it mean…

With such a sky-high opportunity, few would not be tempted.

Even Fairy Red Frost of Butian Pavilion, who was observing from afar, and the white-bearded, white-haired Nascent Soul old man from the Four Seas Immortal Palace were moved.

The latter was named True Monarch Baibao. From his title alone, it was clear he possessed numerous Magic Artifacts. Indeed, aside from being a True Monarch of the Nascent Soul Stage, he was also a tier-ten Artifact Refiner with tremendous fame.

However, constant artifact refinement was a huge drain on his stamina. To enhance the power of his Magic Artifacts, he often used Secret Skills with severe side effects. Years of accumulation had led to his premature aging.

To avoid ending his path, he paid a tremendous price to secure the opportunity to enter the Xuan Yang Secret Realm.

The Palace Master of the Four Seas Immortal Palace was smart enough not to enter the Xuan Yang Secret Realm. He simply traded the opportunity to the Nascent Soul Stage who wished to enter, conducting a profitable business.

Both True Monarch Baibao and Xu Mu aimed for the Xuan Yang Holy Water.

Except that Xu Mu wanted it for his son, while True Monarch Baibao needed it for himself.

Most Nascent Souls that had entered shared a similar objective, given how effective the Xuan Yang Holy Water was. Only if they couldn’t find the Xuan Yang Holy Water would they settle for other treasures.

But how can treasures be so easily found?

If it were so easy, they would have been pilfered long ago.
