Chapter 1034 (2/2)

Upon hearing that, Mu Chen threw a out a punch. Suddenly, a majestic spiritual energy fist-shadow enshrouded Nine Nether. She brushed the black ruler in her hand gently as black light enveloped her. It turned out that a large portion of the spiritual energy above the spiritual energy fist-shadow disappeared, and its light also rapidly dimmed. At last, when it landed on Nine Nether, the shadow had lost most of its power and even failed to break through Nine Nether’s spiritual energy defense.

Mu Chen was slightly shocked. Although his previous punch had been casual, it should have been enough to injure an ordinary Seventh Grade Sovereign. However, after the black ruler in Nine Nether’s hands brushed across, its power was reduced by nearly half.

“This artifact is called the Dark Divine Ruler. It contains a Dark Divine Light that engulfs part of the power of any spiritual energy attack. Thus, if it is used to the fullest extent, it makes it difficult for anything to get close,” Nine Nether explained.

Mu Chen was shocked. This ruler was not simple. Indeed, with this artifact as a defense, any attack would be weakened by it. Thus, the odds of winning would rise greatly. With this artifact, even Golden Sky Prime/Jin Qingtian was not worthy of being Nine Nether’s opponent. The Quasi-Divine Artifact was powerful, indeed.

However, although Mu Chen marveled at the black ruler’s power, Mu Chen did not regret not having chosen it before, for he knew that the Exterminating Eye he had acquired was equally powerful, if not stronger. Its potential was stronger than the ruler’s, too. After all, the Exterminating Eye was the Life Source Treasure made by the Treasure Beast.

After Nine Nether took out the black ruler, rays of light also emerged in Ink Blade and Ink Ring’s palms. It was revealed that they were a long spear and a bell. The long spear was dark gold in color. The shape was simple, and its blade did not seem sharp, but that slightly rough tip emanated a chilling glint. That feeling was indescribable, but it caused one’s heart to palpitate.

The bell in Ink Ring’s palm was scarlet, like blazing flames. When the bell rang, there seemed to be a faint surge of scarlet flames, and it was as if a sea of fire would sweep out and destroy the heavens and earth.

The artifacts in Ink Blade and Ink Ring’s hands, although they could not compare to Nine Nether’s dark ruler, were obviously true Quasi-Divine Artifacts. The two were obviously extremely satisfied with this harvest, and even Ink Blade, who always had a poker face, smiled faintly.

Everyone had gained a bountiful harvest in the hunt of the Treasure Beast.

“What about yours?” Nine Nether looked at Mu Chen with interest flickering in her beautiful eyes. Although they also understood the test left by the Treasure Beast by now, with their understanding of Mu Chen, she didn’t believe that he would return empty-handed.

The others looked towards Mu Chen curiously.

Mu Chen smiled. Black light surged in the center of his forehead as the Exterminating Eye made a slow appearance. When the black light shined, the people’s hearts were filled with a chill, as if they had been illuminated by that dark light. The dark light surged and dissipated quickly, but the mysterious aura was still palpable.

Han Shan smacked his lips and sighed. “It seems that the best treasure of this Treasure Beast has been acquired by Brother Mu…” Although he was unable to recognize the Exterminating Eye, Han Shan was able to detect the mysterious eye’s power. He had a hunch that once the eye’s attack struck, if it did not kill him on the spot, he would at least be seriously injured.

Mu Chen smiled faintly, and did not reveal the details of the Exterminating Eye’s power. After all, it was important to conceal some of his means.

Han Shan looked at Mu Chen and Nine Nether and asked, “We have obtained the Treasure Beast’s treasures… Are you going to look for clues about the Undying Bird?”

He knew the reason why Mu Chen and Nine Nether had come to the Myriad Beasts Tomb. The Treasure Beast was just a secondary goal, and their most important target was to search for traces of the Undying Bird.

“I intend to practice here for a while,” Mu Chen said, after ruminating. “I will enhance my spiritual strength to the peak of Sixth Grade Sovereign.”

This Lake of Treasures was a rare place to practice in this Myriad Beasts Tomb and was free from the interference of beast spirits and death-gas. Moreover, the location was rich with spiritual energy, which was beneficial for cultivation.

The Myriad Beasts Tomb was extremely perilous, and Mu Chen always had a foreboding that the search for the Undying Bird on this trip would be particularly dangerous, so he must raise his strength to the strongest possible level.

Moreover, now that he had acquired the Exterminating Eye, he could use his time to spy and detect the Myriad Beasts Tomb, and to find clues that would lead them to the Undying Bird.

Nine Nether and Ink Blade glanced at each other but also nodded, obviously a sign of support.

Han Shan saw the situation, smiled, and said, “In that case, then we will also stay. Maybe we will be able to help a bit…”

Mu Chen had helped them so much before, now if they left immediately after obtaining treasures, it would seem a little ungrateful of them.

With a smile and a nod, Mu Chen sighed, looking into the depths of the Myriad Beasts Tomb. He could feel vaguely that there did seem to be clues about the Undying Bird in the tomb, but that the danger would be far beyond what they had experienced so far…

Therefore, he had to take the shortest time to improve his spiritual power to the top of Sixth Grade Sovereign. If he had the chance, he would be able to test whether he could advance to the rank of Seventh Grade Sovereign.

Once his physical strength and spiritual strength set foot into Seventh Grade Sovereign, then at that time, even in the face of an Eighth Grade Sovereign, he would be able to fight on par with him!
