89 Bronze Fragments (1/2)
Chapter 1601: Bronze Fragments
Purple Succubus was among the first batch of people who made contact with Yi Yun in Taixia Ancient Mining. She still remembered when he first arrived at her Purple Light Hall. The way he looked when he received crude ores was the perfect example of a rookie who knew nothing. Not only did he appear weak, but he also spoke quite servilely.
According to Purple Succubus's experience, a disciple like Yi Yun would easily be bullied and the chances of him perishing were relatively higher.
But as she watched Yi Yun slay two Ghost Lords in one strike, he appeared completely different from before.
”Sister Purple, are you alright?”
A younger-looking woman flew toward Purple Succubus and quickly made Purple Succubus consume a bottle of pills she took out. She was Purple Succubus's junior sister. She was already convinced that the both of them would perish here, but never expected to reunite in this life.
”He is… from your Purple Light Hall?” The woman looked at Yi Yun, but found that he did not stay for long. He had flown towards two Ghost Lords.
Purple Succubus smiled wryly. ”In a sense. In the past, he was considered my subordinate, but now, his level is not something I can even touch.”
If Yi Yun continued staying in Taixia, his position could very possibly be only second to the Grand Elder.
As Purple Succubus spoke, she heard a dragon's roar sound in the sky. Another Ghost Lord had been slashed by Yi Yun's sword. Brimming lifeblood forces evaporated the Ghost Lord's soul body!
How potent was the lifeblood to evaporate a Ghost Lord?
”This Yi Yun dual cultivates both in laws and body!”
Steward Zhou drew in a thick breath. To human warriors, having such powerful lifeblood forces was completely unimaginable.
Just his slaying of three Ghost Lords in a row was worth the price of a Godly Monarch Blood Essence Pill!
And in fact, the Taixia's guest Elders at the Divine Lord level were not much stronger than the Ghost Lords they had encountered. Didn't this mean that Yi Yun could easily kill those guest Elders like he was chopping vegetables?
Upon being suddenly assaulted by Yi Yun, these Ghost Lords also felt things were amiss.
They quickly shrank back into the Thousand-eyed Mo's body!
In a blink of an eye, the only opponent in front of Yi Yun was the Thousand-eyed Mo.
A ghost beast with eight thousand eyes!
Although that was quite close to ten thousand eyes, it was ultimately not at that level. Once a Thousand-eyed Mo gained ten thousand eyes, it would experience a qualitative change. If that happened, the only option for Yi Yun would be to flee.
But now, Yi Yun showed no fear.
”Yi Yun, fighting against Thousand-eyed Mo is somewhat dangerous. This Thousand-eyed Mo is likely an Intrinsic Ghost Beast reared by a Ghost Thearch. Furthermore, it's on the brink of completion. Your slaying of a few Ghost Lords can be ignored, but if you were to kill it, that Ghost Thearch would likely seek you out to the ends of the world to skin you alive and reduce you to nothingness.” Bai Yueyin's voice sounded in Yi Yun's mind.
Yi Yun also understood what Bai Yueyin was getting at. He looked up at the Ghost Thearch in midair. There was a ghostly fog that spread endlessly. It was unknown if Godly Monarch Divineheart was capable of withstanding it.
However, even though Godly Monarch Divineheart was no match for the Ghost Thearch, if he only thought of escaping…
Yi Yun had never fought with a Godly Monarch, nor was he knowledgeable about his limits.
And then—
”Boom!”
There was a loud boom high in the sky. The fog that spanned a few kilometers seemed to have been swept away by a sudden energy vortex. Immediately, countless golden lights shot down from the vortex!
The golden light contained brimming Yuan Qi, one that was even purer than those from Chaos Ores!
”This is?”
Yi Yun was momentarily stunned. He could tell at a glance that the golden light that radiated outwards was not a result of stray energy blasts. Instead, it represented a particular kind of item.
Treasures!
Could it be that these were what the Ghost Thearch and Divineheart were vying for? Had it shattered from their battle?
Or could it be that they decided to shatter a treasure chest?
Snatch!
This was Yi Yun's first thought. If he did not do it then, when? Even if most of the treasure landed in the Godly Monarch's and Ghost Thearch's hands, he could still benefit a little. Perhaps, with good luck, he could reap huge benefits!
At the same moment Yi Yun took action, the Thousand-eyed Mo also moved!
Thousands of ghouls flew out from its body. Even the eight Ghost Lords who had retreated back into the Thousand-eyed Mo had also appeared once again as they charged toward the golden streams of light.
”What are you waiting for!? Snatch the items!”
At that moment, Godly Monarch Divineheart's voice sounded. Yi Yun's reaction was fast and his eyes were sharp. He could tell at a glance that it was a treasure. As for the Ghost warriors, they were telepathically connected. Only the Taixia Ancient Mining members were slighter slow to react.
And this slight delay had allowed the strongest beams of golden light from the energy blast to land in Yi Yun's and the Ghost warriors' hands.
”A bunch of fools!” bellowed Divineheart angrily.
The members of the Taixia Ancient Mining felt miserable. How could they have known what those golden beams of light were? They had originally believed them to be aftershocks from the clash of the two Godly Monarch-ranked existences.
”Oh? These are treasures that two Godly Monarch existences were vying for?”
Yi Yun looked at the things in his hand. When the golden light dissipated, he found a remnant bronze fragment in his palm.
The fragment was engraved with ancient and dull patterns. They looked as though they had a very long history.
Yi Yun's fragment was only the size of a palm, but it was rather heavy in his hand. It was probably 500 kilograms.
