Chapter 1033: Exterminating Eye

Three clusters of light floated in the center of the stream of artifacts. The light they emitted was not powerful, but the torrents around them glimmered like fireflies dancing under the moon.

An axe, a ruler, and a mirror could be seen within the three beams of light. The axe was bronze and mottled, as if it had split the sky apart. It was obvious that it was immensely powerful.

The ruler was entirely black, without a speck of discoloration. It was so dark, it was as if any light between heaven and earth would disappear as soon as it brushed down and made contact with it. The mirror was an ancient stone mirror. It was rough and looked ordinary, but exuded a primitive simplicity and eerie sense of mystery.

All three items seemed incredibly powerful, as the fluctuations surrounding them were far beyond the Magnificent Grade Divine Artifacts’, clearly stepping into the grade of the Quasi-Divine Artifacts. These were treasures that Mu Chen desired intensely. After all, if he could obtain one, it would certainly cause his combat prowess to increase dramatically.

Mu Chen gazed at the three Quasi-Divine Artifacts, as he licked his lips, greed rising in his heart. After all, when faced with these three valuable artifacts, even an Earthly Sovereign would fail to maintain a calm state of mind.

His gaze grew hotter and hotter. Then, as soon as he took a step forward, his spiritual energy transformed into a massive hand, grabbing directly at the three Quasi-Divine Artifacts. Now that he had come so far, he would not lose any of them!

Whoosh!

The massive hand soared across the air, easily crossing the stream of artifacts. It then appeared before the three Quasi-Divine Artifacts, which were about to be caught up in its palm.

The massive palm cut across the air, but Mu Chen’s gaze flashed, right at the moment that he was about to make contact with the three Quasi-Divine Artifacts. He seemed to regain his senses and then, with a sharp bite of his tongue, he spit a mouthful of blood out.

Bloodstains emerged from Mu Chen’s mouth. The great hand, which was about to grasp the artifacts, paused, not touching the three motionless Quasi-Divine Artifacts whatsoever.

Mu Chen slowly wiped the blood away from the corners of his mouth. His face was a little ashen, as he had just undergone an intense inner struggle. When he had been about to seize the three Quasi-Divine Artifacts, the prudent tenacity that he had honed over the years had come into play, allowing him to hold back the thick greed in his heart.

Once the greed had finally retreated, Mu Chen regained his calm and began to detect that something was wrong. Things had gone too smoothly…

Even though he had wanted to collect the three Quasi-Divine Artifacts, there was seemingly no hindrance at all to his doing so. Mu Chen did not believe that the Treasure Beast would have left such valuable treasures unprotected.

After all, there were many rumors that spoke of how the Treasure Beast was stingy and incredibly protective of its treasures. So, if one thought that they could obtain these treasures here so easily, they would be acting foolishly.

Mu Chen stood still, his face contemplative. After a few moments, he took a deep breath and sat down, closing his eyes slowly. Instead of continuing to hunt for more treasure, he planned to meditate to calm his mind completely. He did this in hopes of eradicating the greed and temptation that was within him.

As Mu Chen meditated, his expression grew peaceful. It wasn’t clear how much time had passed before Mu Chen opened his eyes, but when he did so, his dark eyes were quiet, like a motionless pool that had no waves. His greed had thoroughly dissipated.

With a renewed state of mind, Mu Chen looked at the stream of artifacts again. But this time, what he saw was very different.

The original brilliant torrent had slowly dissipated, as if what he had seen before was a mere illusion. Mu Chen looked quietly at the current of artifacts that had now dissipated, yet had no sense of regret. He simply watched silently as the current dissipated until it was completely gone.

When the current had dissipated entirely, only the three Quasi-Divine Artifacts were still quietly suspended in the space. However, Mu Chen only looked at them, making no movement. There was not even a glimmer of fluctuation in his eyes.

This stillness lasted for a long time. At last, a light began to bloom from the three Quasi-Divine Artifacts. They then converged closer to one another, finally merging together completely.

After seeing this scene, some fluctuations finally appeared in Mu Chen’s eyes. He could clearly see that the three Quasi-Divine Artifacts before him were absolutely not illusory and really existed! Facing this final change, curiosity now bloomed in Mu Chen’s heart.

Following the fusion of the three Quasi-Divine Artifacts, the light twisted and distorted, only gradually dispersing after a moment. As the light dissipated, only one object appeared.

It was not the axe, nor the ruler or mirror, but a black sphere that was about the size of a palm. If viewed closely, it actually was a black eyeball! The black eyeball was floating, while emanating a mysterious aura. This causing all of the people present to feel greatly alarmed.
