Chapter 919 (2/2)
“When the Spiritual Pupil King and I were surveying the place, we awakened one of the spirits. Although we joined forces, we still barely managed to drive it away.”
When everyone heard this, they were shocked. The strength of the spirit must have been very powerful indeed. It must be at least a Grade Nine Sovereign, or even nearing the level of an Earthly Sovereign! Danger seemed to lurk around every turn in this Meteorfall Battlefield!
…
The troop waited for the spiritual energy windstorm to pass by, then they continued on their journey. There were numerous obstructions along the way. If it had not been for the Condor King’s expertly leading the way, Mu Chen estimated that only a handful of them would have survived.
Although their progress was slow and tough, they did not meet with any real danger. After two days, the troop finally came to some black mountains. After they went past them, they were shocked by the scene that was before them.
The spiritual energy windstorm had suddenly disappeared! Even the spiritual energy became extremely quiet!
Mu Chen and the rest were not shocked by the calmness, but were more surprised by the broken space. It seemed to have been smashed by some horrifying power. Black cracks squirmed around like ferocious mouths.
Lights shot through the back cracks, and they could see a huge black pyramid floating quietly in the space that was deep within them. The black pyramid was huge beyond description. Mu Chen and the rest were like dust in comparison to it. Then, a vibration suddenly swirled towards them, causing them to tremble.
“This black pyramid is the secret treasure of the Earthly Sovereign,” the Condor King looked at the broken space and said thoughtfully. “This space must have been torn by the spiritual energy fluctuations during the Primordial Age. Some Upper Earthly Sovereigns must have been killed here.”
“Upper Earthly Sovereigns?”
Mu Chen and the rest gasped. The Dominator was only a Lower Earthly Sovereign. She was one level lower than the Upper Earthly Sovereign. There was no Upper Earthly Sovereign in the entire North Territory, which was why it could maintain a balance. One Upper Earthly Sovereign would be enough to change the outlook of the entire North Territory.
“You are finally here.”
As Mu Chen and the rest were stunned by the black pyramid, there was a slight fluctuation in the space before them. They then heard a tender and familiar voice. Three figures appeared in the space warp, with Mandela taking the lead. The Sleeping King and the Spiritual Pupil King followed closely behind her.
“Greetings, Dominator!”
When the lords saw Mandela, they quickly bowed to her. The troops behind them also knelt down before her to show respect.
Mandela waved her hand and looked at Mu Chen. She was shocked and said with a smile, “Have you become a war troop dispatcher yet?”
Mu Chen smiled and nodded.
“Hohoho, Mu Chen has not only become a war troop dispatcher, but he has killed the war troop dispatcher of Netherworld Palace. He has contributed a lot to the Big Hunting War.” The Condor King smiled, as he told Mandela what Mu Chen had done.
“Oh?”
Mandela, the Sleeping King, and the Spiritual Pupil King were shocked when they heard what Condor King had said. Mu Chen, who had kept a low profile among the lords, had performed so well during the Big Hunting War!
“Does that mean that we have collected enough Meteorfall Alchemy?” Mandela smiled. She seemed pleased with Mu Chen’s performance.
“We have a total of 430,000 Meteorfall Alchemy units.” The Condor King waved his sleeve, sending a universal bracelet flying towards Mandela.
Mandela caught the bracelet, then smiled more broadly. She tilted her head and looked at the dark cracks. After letting out a breath, she said, “We shall now try to break the seal.”
Mu Chen and the rest followed her gaze, only then realizing that there were ancient runes in the dark cracks. They had formed a shield to seal up the broken space within it.
As Mu Chen stared at the ancient runes, he was suddenly taken aback. He could feel the Spirit Seeking Compass that he had obtained from the Meteorfall Battlefield getting hot.
Mu Chen froze at this reaction. His heart then started to pump fiercely, as he recalled what Xiao Qingyun had said. The Spirit Seeking Compass would guide him to the death relic of the fourth hall master of the Primordial Celestial Palace.
That meant that the black pyramid in the broken space had been left behind by the fourth hall master of the Primordial Celestial Palace!
