467 Huge Returns! (2/2)

”Knowing what's to come in the future, the one who is working hard now is…”

This sound reverberated in his soul for a long time, until the burly man's consciousness began to become unclear. The moment it was completely blurred out, the burly man seemed to enter a state of clarity before death. He finally understood why his surroundings were in complete darkness.

He saw the Spirit River that Wang Baole was sailing on in his lone boat when he still had a body previously. He saw that there were countless spirits in the Spirit River, and his spirit was amongst them…

After realizing this, his consciousness dissipated.

As it dissipated, the Spirit River that he was in began to disappear gradually, together with the lone boat, as it flowed from the sky to the ground.

When the lone boat next appeared, it was on the third level of the underground world, in the public square Wang Baole had set off from. There were still numerous corpses and ferocious beasts kneeling there, trembling. Wang Baole's face was pale, and blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth. The lone boat beneath his feet, the black robe he was wearing, and the lantern oar he was holding began to grow unclear. This continued until they eventually disappeared completely, transforming into three individual Artifact Spirits.

One burly man, one elder, and a young boy. When the three Artifact Spirits appeared, they hurriedly knelt before Wang Baole.

Wang Baole shut his eyes, calming the churning Blood Qi in his body. The previous three battles seemed easy, but in reality, he had made use of the power of the Dark Artifact. Despite the Dark Artifact being damaged, Wang Baole still had to use a lot of effort in controlling it, given his cultivation level.

That was especially so as those three battles were in an entirely different format from those he had experienced before. From the inheritance and sense that he had obtained through the Dark Dream, he vaguely felt that the reason why superior-grade Divine Armaments were so powerful was that they could unleash these rule-like divine powers!

It's a pity that my cultivation level isn't high enough and that the Dark Artifact is damaged and can't be shrunk. Otherwise, if I could carry it around with me, if I were to call myself the Federation President after leaving this place and anyone were to disagree, all I would need to do was sing a Soul Song to them! With that thought, Wang Baole was extremely agitated yet depressed. As he experienced the torrent of emotions, he sighed.

I'm getting arrogant… I need to stay humble. Wang Baole patted his tummy, suppressing the churning Blood Qi in his body. He didn't bother to tend to his injuries immediately. Instead, he quickly took out the gains that he had obtained from the three battles. In reality, the two Nascent Souls realm cultivators exhausted numerous Dharmic treasures in the first and second battle. It wasn't that Wang Baole didn't want to stop them, but the fact was that despite Wang Baole acting like everything was a walk in the park, the calmness on his face was all a strong front.

The truth was that he was about to go crazy looking at those Dharmic treasures being destroyed. In his mind, the possessions of the trio were like his own.

However, he couldn't control the power of the Dark Artifact such that it would only wipe out humans but not damage the Dharmic treasures!

As he sighed, Wang Baole opened up the three storage bags before him. After rummaging through them, his eyes widened, and his breathing quickened.

Even though the Dharmic treasures of the trio were mostly damaged, there were still over ten intact ones, including one tri-colored flying sword that could transmogrify into a sword fleet comprised of countless flying swords!

There was also the ribbon from the horse-faced cultivator, the scales from the square-faced cultivator, as well as other Dharmic treasures that the trio didn't use. Wang Baole couldn't tell the grade of those Dharmic treasures due to differences in culture between the cultivators and the Federation. However, he had a hunch that since the Nascent Soul realm cultivators could use them, that they were definitely treasures. He was filled with excitement at the thought!

I've struck gold!

Other than that, there were numerous crystals that looked like Spirit Stones. There was also a jade slip, though he wasn't familiar with the words on the jade slip. At the same time, there were thirty-odd pill bottles, as well as two sets of scaly armor, and a centipede sealed by the force of the Dark Artifact!

This wasn't all. Soon, Wang Baole trembled in shock as he stared into the storage bag of the leader. There was a black jellyfish in hibernation, as well as glowing rocks that piled up like a mountain!

This is… a Sea Glutton?

And these stones… They are Stellar Sources! Wang Baole's eyes were wide with disbelief as he stared dazedly at the items. His mind buzzed with activity as he noticed a black stone box placed in the corner of the leader's storage bag!

The material of this stone box was also a Stellar Source. In terms of quality, it exceeded that of ordinary Stellar Sources significantly!

There was even an aura of antiquity and age. It was as if it had existed for a long time and carried the traces of time with it!
