Chapter 414

The Ancient Invincible Corpse Appears!

Across the waters, stars dotted the sky as waves crashed against the shore. Tianduo strode through the void. His eyes burned like torches, and the flame emblem on his forehead stood out with striking clarity. The Primordial Demon race! Fiery red hair cascaded over his shoulders, lending him an exceptionally handsome appearance, though he lacked warmth and possessed a colder, detached air. In the sea below, several figures caught sight of him and swiftly retreated. A genius of the Primordial Demon race and a descendant of an Invincible. Su Yu might consider descendants of Invincibles cheap—and even cheaper three generations removed—but in reality, being an Invincible's descendant was a gold-plated brand. Ordinary beings dared not provoke them in the slightest. Even Sun Moon Realm experts from minor races avoided crossing them, as minor races had no Invincibles of their own and lacked the courage to invite disaster. "Has anyone seen Foutuling?" Tianduo called out. The Heaven Hunting Pavilion had reported that Foutuling had lost his sub-ranking medallion and was currently untraceable, leaving Tianduo no choice but to search for him personally. Soon, a creature in the void said cautiously, "I think I saw him once toward the northwest, but... I'm not certain if it was Foutuling. Foutuling belongs to the Earth Spirit race, yet I saw him swimming through the water at incredible speed..." Tianduo smiled! Then there was no mistake—it was definitely him. As expected, that fellow truly had unified the five elements. No wonder a member of the Earth Spirit race dared venture into the open waters. If Foutuling couldn't move freely through water, coming to the sea would have been bizarre. Now, everything made sense. It explained why he had appeared here in the first place, why no one had been able to track him down, and why no one even knew where he had slain that fifth-stage Shanhai expert. "Thank you!" "You honor me!" The creature who had answered let out a sigh of relief, feeling rather pleased. Exchanging a few words with a member of the Primordial Demon race was something to brag about for quite some time. Meanwhile, Tianduo flew rapidly toward the northwest. *** To the northwest, atop a tiny floating island. Su Yu, transformed into an earthen figure, concealed his aura and waited silently. He chose not to release his presence brazenly, confident that Tianduo would find him. If Tianduo couldn't even track him down, then he was an idiot. Su Yu had already left an obvious trail. If Tianduo still failed to locate him, he had no business being on the rankings. "Tianduo..." "Tianduo fights Foutuling to a bitter draw, both heavily wounded. Foutuling retreats, while Tianduo happens to breach an ancient spatial pocket and makes off with the corpse of an ancient Quasi-Invincible..." Su Yu calculated the sequence of events silently in his mind. The plan was sound. As for whether it would succeed, that came down to luck. Furthermore, did Tianduo have a Dao Protector with him? Probably not. These geniuses were all arrogant and fearless, unwilling to request aid even from an Invincible unless driven to absolute despair. Regardless, he would observe first. Su Yu remained in hiding. Right at that moment, demonic qi surged across the surroundings! Tianduo stepped through the void, sweeping his gaze across the area. His eyes immediately locked onto the floating island, his brows furrowing slightly as he called out coldly, "Foutuling, come out and fight! I know you're there!" Silence answered him. Tianduo scoffed coldly and threw a punch through the air! Rumble! A thunderous crash shook the floating island as surging waves rolled over it. Atop the island, Su Yu sank beneath the surface. As Foutuling, he wouldn't actively accept the challenge right away. A Foutuling who eagerly fought wouldn't be playing his part properly. Tianduo frowned! *I really did find you. Did you think I was bluffing?* Light gleamed in his eyes, and a beam of demonic light shot straight beneath the island as he barked coldly, "Foutuling, do you think you can hide from me?" Boom! Shattered rocks exploded across the floating island! Only then did Su Yu slip into the water, his voice transmission echoing sharply, "Tianduo, what do you think you're doing? Mind your own business and stay out of mine! Don't go looking for trouble!" With that, he transformed into a stream of water and fled at high speed! Tianduo's eyes lit up. "Water evasion... Foutuling, you truly have unified the five elements! No wonder you could kill a fifth-stage Shanhai!" He was delighted! Su Yu barked coldly, "Since you know that, how dare you provoke me?" "Tianduo, don't seek your own death!" Tianduo said excitedly, "You're the exact person I'm looking for!" Killing a fifth-stage Shanhai—though the ranking credited it as an assisted kill—put Foutuling on high ground. Tianduo was slightly weaker than Qin Fang, who could currently contend with a fifth-stage Shanhai, while Huang Teng would find it somewhat difficult. Tianduo wasn't far behind Huang Teng. Although Tianduo had no certainty of killing a fifth-stage Shanhai, Foutuling hadn't achieved the feat alone either; otherwise, he wouldn't merely be ranked fifth on the Earth Ranking. In Tianduo's eyes, a Foutuling who had unified the five elements should be roughly equal in strength to himself. He was precisely the opponent Tianduo needed most—the kind of adversary he dreamed of fighting. "Don't even think about running!" Tianduo barked, flames suddenly surging on his forehead. A stream of fire shot forth, vaporizing the seawater ahead of Su Yu with a thunderous roar! "You think I'm afraid of you?" Su Yu shouted, and streaks of golden light burst forth from the water into the sky! Infinitely sharp! "Die!" Instead of being startled, Tianduo was thrilled. It really was him—an Earth Spirit with the five elements unified. This was exhilarating. He didn't even draw a weapon. Taking a step forward in the air, he threw a punch. Bang! The golden light collided with his fist, shattering into pieces, while faint trails of blood seeped from his knuckles. Tianduo didn't care in the slightest. Overjoyed, he charged directly at Su Yu! This was exactly what he wanted! "Tianduo, why must you make trouble for me..." Tianduo couldn't even be bothered to reply. What nonsense—he had sought Foutuling out precisely to make trouble. They were both geniuses; what else would he be here for? Did Foutuling really need to ask? If he could kill him, he would kill him; if not, they would fight it out anyway. It was that simple! Thunderous booms resonated continuously. The more Tianduo fought, the more thrilled and astonished he became. So strong! A Foutuling with five unified elements was far stronger than he had imagined. Water arrows, earth defenses, metal blades, raging fire... Above the vast ocean, the two geniuses clashed relentlessly, one in the water and one in the air, locked in fierce combat. In all directions, experts drawn by the commotion dared not approach. Many watched the battle from afar across the void. *** In the distance. Someone sighed in admiration, "Foutuling... has unified the five elements! Is the Five Elements race preparing to reunify?" "No wonder he took fifth place on the Earth Ranking. Truly powerful!" "Tianduo isn't bad either!" "Tianduo is formidable, but he belongs to the Primordial Demon race and is innately strong. The Earth Spirit race isn't naturally as powerful as the Primordial Demons, which is why Foutuling could claim fifth while Tianduo only reached twelfth." Right at that moment, an enraged roar echoed from afar. "Five Elements Purgatory!" The next instant, countless water weeds surged and sprouted in the sea, transforming into long whips that lashed around Tianduo and dragged him down into the depths. Then, the other four elements were unleashed. Earthen walls, wooden whips, seas of fire... A massive cage formed in an instant! Tianduo threw punch after punch, rattling the Five Elements Purgatory to its core. Su Yu dragged him down toward the ocean floor. The onlookers gasped in amazement once more. "He's playing to his strengths while exploiting his foe's weaknesses! Fighting underwater, Tianduo might not win; he might even lose. This Five Elements Purgatory is an entrapment technique, and it looks formidable. Tianduo is trapped." "..." They watched from a distance without drawing near. Approaching during a battle between geniuses was seen as picking a fight; the geniuses might abandon their duel and join forces to kill the intruders. The onlookers gathered here were mostly in the Lingyun and Shanhai Realms. Tengkong Realm cultivators had fled long ago, and there were no Sun Moon Realm figures nearby. Even Shanhai experts were not confident they could defeat the two geniuses if they teamed up. That was precisely why Su Yu had chosen this location for the clash. *** Deploying the Five Elements Purgatory, Su Yu dragged Tianduo into the depths of the sea. They sank further and further! Yet Tianduo showed no panic. As a top-tier expert, a minor setback like this would hardly faze him. In truth, Su Yu's Five Elements Purgatory wasn't as formidable as people imagined. It fell short of the real Foutuling's! The crucial difference lay in willpower; Su Yu's willpower wasn't as strong as Foutuling's. Foutuling was a pure Civilization Master whose willpower surpassed Su Yu's by a tier. Su Yu's version couldn't be considered the authentic article. Even so, without relying on his physical body, Su Yu fought Tianduo to a standstill. This also proved that if the real Foutuling went all out, Tianduo would be no match for him. "Foutuling, do you think this meager trick is enough to deal with me?" Tianduo sneered coldly. "Demon Descent!" He let out a furious roar! A racial innate technique! In the void, a phantom of an ancient demon god seemed to descend, merging into his body in an instant. The next moment, demonic qi boiled over, and Tianduo's physical strength surged by thirty percent! Boom! A punch struck forward! The innermost whips of the Five Elements Purgatory snapped in succession! Su Yu was startled inwardly. *Demon Descent is that powerful?* It boosted his strength by at least twenty percent in a single breath! Damn! He hadn't realized—he knew how to use it too. Had he known earlier, he would have used it as well. Furthermore, the god race had an innate technique called God Transformation. He hadn't used either of them! Su Yu had used the immortal race's innate technique, but he had never tried those of the demon or god races. Partly, he wasn't accustomed to using them; partly, he had felt that at his current level, these innate techniques might not offer much benefit. Yet seeing how much stronger Tianduo had become, Su Yu's interest was piqued. This seemed to be an exceptional innate ability! It was somewhat like summoning an ancient demon god. Of course, it wasn't a true ancient demon god, but rather an imprint left behind in the myriad realms by an ancient demon god that they summoned into their bodies. With Demon Descent active, Tianduo's strength was terrifying! Another thunderous punch smashed through the second layer of the Five Elements Purgatory. He glared coldly at Su Yu. "Is that all you've got?" Not nearly enough! Once he broke through all five layers of the purgatory, he would take Foutuling's life! Boom! Like an ancient demon god, Tianduo used no weapons, striking the Five Elements Purgatory with punch after punch. Meanwhile, Su Yu continued to drag him deeper into the sea, releasing elemental energy to reinforce the temporary prison. Strictly speaking, if limited solely to the combat strength of a Civilization Master, Su Yu was no match for this guy. Sooner or later, Tianduo would shatter the Five Elements Purgatory! Of course, that was assuming Su Yu held back; he had yet to employ many of his true methods. He hadn't used the Mind Expansion Hammer or his multi-character battle technique, relying purely on the Five Elements Divine Art and his five-element divine characters to contend with the demon. At this moment, Su Yu's physical body had undergone twenty-nine temperings. Pure acupoint strength alone exceeded 28,000 acupoints of force, not counting divine character enhancements, his half-opened Yang Acupoints, blood essence bursts, or anything else... With pure physical strength combined with the 144 acupoints on the verge of their first transformation, Su Yu's bodily power had already reached the level of 30,000 acupoints. Tianduo, in his Demon Descent state, was also formidable, his physical strength vaguely surpassing 30,000 acupoints. Every punch sent tremors through Su Yu's sea of will. Yet this still wasn't enough! Was this Tianduo's peak state? Did he have any other tricks? Su Yu had seen Demon Descent and a few moves from the Primordial Demon Art. Was that really all? Nothing else? Su Yu already knew all of these! Since he planned to disguise himself as Tianduo, he naturally needed to master his battle techniques and combat style, which was why he had dragged the fight out for so long. Otherwise, the moment they met, Su Yu could have gone all out and cleaved him in two with a single slash! Su Yu continued dragging him down, firing off water arrows and unleashing golden sword beams to swarm Tianduo inside the Five Elements Purgatory. Tianduo seemed tireless! He had only one response—his fists! A single punch to shatter everything. Su Yu silently complained inwardly. *He's ridiculously straightforward. Is that really all he has?* *Does this guy have no other techniques?* Well, it was normal for some people to specialize purely in one path. That was fine too. If he only had this much to show, Su Yu didn't even need to learn anything new; it was simple enough. He already knew how to do all of it! Dragging Tianduo down to a depth of ten thousand meters beneath the surface, Su Yu suddenly said, "Tianduo, why must you push me? I can summon the Five Elements Patriarch! I even have a divine talisman bestowed by him! Are you really going to force me to kill you?" Tianduo's eyes flickered slightly. Then, he said coldly, "Foutuling, can you only rely on outside help?" Shameless! Su Yu scoffed, "You're the one hunting me down! Tianduo, leave now, and I won't hold this against you. Otherwise, unless you can summon your own patriarch or possess a way to withstand a Five Elements Divine Talisman... I don't want to slaughter you, so don't force my hand!" *Do you have that kind of trump card?* If not, great. If so, he needed to probe it out. These geniuses frequently carried terrifying lethal treasures; he had to be cautious. Tianduo's expression remained cold as he continued throwing punch after punch! "Foutuling, beat me first before talking!" Summoning an Invincible? Did an Invincible not need time to arrive? Using a Five Elements Divine Talisman... If you were stupid enough to say it out loud, would I give you the chance? His blood boiled, and he roared furiously, swiftly shattering the remaining layers of the Five Elements Purgatory! As long as he killed Foutuling, the Five Elements Patriarch wouldn't dare cause trouble for the Primordial Demon race over a dead genius. Did he really think he could scare him off? Kill him first! Boom! A fist smashed toward the water-formed Su Yu. Su Yu judged the situation and cursed inwardly. *You don't have one, yet you dare act so arrogant.* *Come to think of it, I've never tried Demon Descent either. Maybe... I should test its effects too.* He had to take this guy down instantly, giving him no chance to use a talisman even if he had one. Su Yu held a drop of sixth-stage Shanhai blood essence beneath his tongue. His Yang Acupoints were quietly opened halfway. The acupoints required for Demon Descent also began to activate. Su Yu was worried... worried that a single punch might kill him outright. Sixth-stage Shanhai blood essence, combined with half-opened Yang Acupoints, the amplification of his "Force" divine character, and the boost from Demon Descent... Wouldn't he punch him to death? That would be troublesome! "Tianduo, let me ask you something!" Tianduo frowned, throwing another punch. Annoying! *Trying to distract me!* "Seriously, I'm asking you: could a seventh-stage Shanhai punch you to death?" Tianduo scoffed coldly, "You can try! Ao Yun, ranked twelfth on the Heaven Ranking, couldn't punch me to death either!" Su Yu understood! Impressive! He remembered now—this guy had taken a punch from Ao Yun, the twelfth ranker on the Heaven Ranking. His bones and tendons had shattered, but he hadn't died and had quickly recovered. That meant a single punch wouldn't kill him! His defenses were indeed sturdy! Although Ao Yun hadn't reached the seventh stage of the Shanhai Realm, he possessed combat power on that level, which wasn't far off from Su Yu's current state. In other words, one punch wouldn't finish him off! Of course, it might shatter his physical body, but that didn't matter. Severely wounding him was the best outcome! With that in mind, Su Yu let out a low shout. The blood essence entered his stomach, his Yang Acupoints half-opened, the "Force" character added its amplification, his vibration technique activated, and Demon Descent flared to life. Instantly, an ethereal phantom descended from the air and merged into his body. Su Yu's strength surged dramatically! Tianduo's expression transformed instantly! *What?* *An ancient demon phantom?* *Demon Descent...* *How could this be?!* The next instant, a terrifying aura erupted. Simultaneously, a massive hammer carrying overwhelming vibrational force crashed down toward his head! Boom! The hammer and fist struck at the same exact time! With the hammer falling, Tianduo had no time to defend against it. He pushed his blood qi and demonic qi to their absolute limits, roaring furiously as he focused everything on defending against that fist! A terrifyingly powerful blow! Boom! The punch landed as the hammer struck. Tianduo's sea of will convulsed violently, and he sprayed a mouthful of blood as his demonic qi scattered. He let out a desperate, enraged roar, and then—boom! The fist struck home, blasting a clean hole through his chest with a sickening crunch. The vibrational force erupted, shattering every bone in his body. In the blink of an eye, Tianduo went limp as a sack of pulp. It was as if he had no bones left at all! Every single bone had been shattered simultaneously by Su Yu's overwhelming vibrational power. Yet Su Yu was alarmed. "Don't die!" Tianduo's eyes dimmed, staring at him blankly... *What... what just happened to me?* *This isn't Foutuling!* As the thought crossed his mind, Su Yu abruptly struck him with another hammer blow. "Just knock yourself out!" "Little fur ball, get to work! Quick, seal his sea of will—don't let him send out any messages!" The next moment, a fur ball appeared and squeezed into Tianduo's severely damaged sea of will. As soon as it entered, it saw a drop of blood hovering within the sea of will. It swallowed the drop in one gulp and quickly transmitted its voice to Su Yu: "He had a drop of blood essence stored in his sea of will... He wanted to burn it to call for his elders!" Despicable! The little fur ball looked upon him with utter disdain. Hiding blood essence to call for parents—how shameless. Tianduo, meanwhile, was on the verge of losing consciousness. He stared at Su Yu with fading eyes as mouthfuls of blood welled up from the corners of his mouth. "Su... Yu!" Looking at Su Yu, he finally realized the truth. This wasn't Foutuling—it was Su Yu! That hammer was unmistakable. He simply hadn't had the time to process it earlier! Now, his consciousness was sinking into darkness. Su Yu thought for a moment and said hurriedly, "Listen, don't be afraid, and don't die. I'm going to destroy your physical body—it's too big and hard to hide. I'll seal your sea of will, so you'll stay alive. If I'm in a good mood, I won't kill you. Don't be afraid, and don't resist..." Before Tianduo could even process the words, a thunderous crash erupted as his physical body was completely obliterated! The next instant, a small orb of light appeared. That was his sea of will! Inside the orb of light was another small sphere—the little fur ball! Su Yu's eyes flickered, and he said, "Fur ball, swallow it into your stomach. Don't digest it, and don't eat it! Then come back into my sea of will!" This way, even if an Invincible checked Tianduo's location, Su Yu and Tianduo would appear as one. He swiftly gathered Tianduo's shattered flesh and blood, incinerating all traces of his own aura. Not only that, Su Yu continued releasing bursts of demonic qi and five-element energy. He churned the sea into turmoil! This would make anyone nearby believe that two powerhouses were still locked in fierce combat here. Meanwhile, the little fur ball quickly swallowed Tianduo's sea of will. Though it sorely wanted to eat it, it restrained itself; it knew that the fragrant one was preparing to scam even more delicious treats, so it couldn't eat this guy yet! Once they conned more food, it could devour this sea of will for good! Bursts of demonic qi and five-element power erupted continuously, sending wave after wave crashing through the deep sea. The waves grew increasingly violent! Su Yu rapidly cleaned up the battlefield, then transformed his appearance, gradually shifting into Tianduo's form. Furthermore, he extracted Tianduo's blood essence. He wanted to glimpse Tianduo's memories to refine his disguise! Of course, flaws were inevitable, and he had to be careful not to trigger any memories concerning an Invincible; otherwise, anomalies would easily be detected. Su Yu transitioned swiftly, and soon, towering demonic qi rolled off him. He circulated the Primordial Demon Art! A flame mark appeared on his forehead. This mark was exceedingly difficult to fake; it could only naturally form after opening the glabella acupoint. He drew in his aura and fully restrained his willpower. As for his physical body, Tianduo was at the seventh stage of Lingyun. Su Yu's aura fell short of the seventh stage, but his physical strength surpassed Tianduo's. After a moment's consideration, Su Yu swiftly disguised himself to appear weak and haggard. Injured and unstable after a fierce battle with Foutuling. *I can't let an Invincible see me; one look, and the disguise will fall apart!* *The Heaven Hunting Pavilion must not collect my aura a second time either... otherwise, they might detect the difference...* Of course, the Heaven Hunting Pavilion wouldn't bother recollecting the aura of an expert they had already recorded. That would be pointless and a waste of effort. Since they already possessed Tianduo's aura, there was no need for a second sample. The pavilion's agents would find it difficult to tell the difference, but the Heaven Hunting Ranking could. Su Yu was worried the ranking itself might expose him. He continued creating the illusion of a massive battle. By now, the little fur ball had swallowed the light orb, preventing Tianduo from causing trouble in his sea of will or contacting an Invincible. "Little fur ball, if he wakes up, immediately shock his sea of will. Just make sure he doesn't die!" "Got it!" The little fur ball swallowed the sea of will and swiftly darted into Su Yu's own sea of will. At this point, even if the Heaven Hunting Pavilion or an Invincible tracked Tianduo's whereabouts, Su Yu and Tianduo were together. With those issues resolved, Su Yu swiftly swam deeper into the ocean. It was time to launch the next phase of the plan! The shattering of an ancient spatial pocket! Tianduo, locked in combat with Foutuling, breached an ancient spatial pocket and discovered the corpse of a Quasi-Invincible... Everything would unfold logically. There were likely people watching from afar across the void, but none dared extend their willpower or interfere in the fight. As long as his disguise was passable, no one would suspect a thing. He had to let them witness the scene of an ancient spatial pocket shattering. Ideally, he would only take the critical items and leave behind some ancient junk. Over recent days, Su Yu had been preparing, purchasing quite a few ancient relics. Naturally, he had altered and damaged them slightly so no one would recognize them. In fact, the most critical element of the entire plan was the spatial ripple produced when an ancient spatial pocket collapsed—that was the hardest thing to fake! Su Yu had searched for a long time without finding a real ancient pocket. With no alternative, he had to create a fake one himself. By shattering a divine character! Yes, shattering a divine character with spatial attributes. Su Yu possessed one: the "Beast" character, which only Beast Tamers could delineate. Even Su Yu didn't know how he had managed to form it in the first place. That character naturally contained an internal space. Shattering it should produce spatial shockwaves that could mimic the collapse of an ancient realm. The "Beast" character had already reached the peak of tier three. Ancient spatial pockets were fragile, so their collapse should produce ripples comparable to a peak tier-three divine character. Furthermore, the traces would vanish rapidly after the collapse, making the deception convincing. Su Yu cursed inwardly! This was the first time he had ever shattered one of his own divine characters. No matter! He had sacrificed a peak tier-three divine character for this, raising the stakes even higher! If this didn't yield immense benefits, he would be at a massive loss. He continued diving deeper. The battle raged on! Five-element energy and demonic qi tangled violently. The onlookers in the distance dared not draw near, awed by the sheer strength of the two combatants. Even after fighting for so long, their auras remained overwhelmingly powerful, comparable to Shanhai experts. They truly lived up to their status as Earth Ranking geniuses. Right at that moment, a faint spatial ripple emanated from the deep sea. It wasn't particularly intense, but everyone sensed it. At the same time, an enraged roar rang out, "It's mine!" Tianduo's voice! "Foutuling, how dare you!" "Demon Descent!" Boom! Another ancient demon god phantom manifested in the void, descending in an instant as overwhelming demonic qi boiled over! "Tianduo, you dare claim it all for yourself..." In that very instant, an unimaginably vast, oppressive aura spilled outward. Tianduo's voice rang out once more: "This... Invincible... no, Quasi-Invincible..." In the surroundings, the experts who heard those words suddenly fled in all directions. What was that? Such a terrifying aura! Such overwhelming pressure! Just as they beat a hasty retreat, a massive figure rose into the air. Tianduo appeared, looking impossibly formidable. Holding up a gigantic corpse with one hand, he roared furiously and smashed a fist downward! Turning the sea upside down! That single punch brought the entire sea to a violent boil, sending colossal waves surging to the heavens. Deep below, the seawater vaporized, revealing a silhouette—an earthen figure. The earthen figure spat out a mouthful of mud that instantly evaporated, then bellowed, "Tianduo, you want it all for yourself? In your dreams! Everyone, listen up: Tianduo has seized the corpse of an ancient Invincible... along with an ancient Heaven armament! I saw ancient cultivation arts and ancient divine characters..." Boom! Su Yu attacked wildly, throwing punch after punch! The next moment, Su Yu roared and forcibly stuffed the colossal corpse he was holding into a storage ring! Without a second word, he fled frantically. He bolted toward the depths of the ocean. Below, a current of water surged in pursuit, seemingly Foutuling, roaring, "Leave the ancient Invincible corpse behind!" "Tianduo, you won't get away..." In the blink of an eye, both figures vanished from the scene. Soon, they disappeared completely without a trace! Yet everyone had witnessed the terrifying pressure radiating from that corpse just moments ago. The next instant, figure after figure materialized and plunged frantically into the water, diving downward. Below, ocean currents churned violently around a small spatial pocket that continued to swirl, swallowing seawater. The space had already shattered and was rapidly dissipating, while a massive hoard of ancient relics lay scattered nearby. "Heavens!" "An ancient spatial pocket!" "It has been dead for countless years, yet that corpse's aura... Did you all feel it?" "I felt it! So powerful! Even after countless years, it still radiated the pressure of a late-stage Sun Moon..." The onlookers were utterly stunned! The corpse of an Invincible? Invincible cultivation arts? Even a Heaven armament! The battle between Tianduo and Foutuling had actually shattered an ancient spatial pocket. Right at that moment, someone cried out in shock. He had picked up a quiver of arrows! A large crowd quickly gathered around him. They all turned to look at him. The man's heart skipped a beat, and he said hurriedly, "I only picked up this one thing! It looks like a quiver used by an ancient expert..." With that, he hurriedly opened the quiver... Several ancient, plain long arrows were revealed. Someone nearby urged anxiously, "Quick, check what rank they are..." The man hurriedly inspected them, channeling a wisp of origin qi into one. Instantly, eighty-two gold veins flared to life on the ancient arrow, but in the next second, ten of them shattered... Leaving behind seventy-two gold veins! Everyone was dumbstruck! Shock filled the air! An ancient Earth armament—and mid-tier Earth rank at that! What kind of joke was this?! Arrows were generally consumables! Heavens! What... what did this signify? It meant that in the ancient era, this expert used mid-tier Earth armaments as disposable consumables! Of course, so much time had passed that the mid-tier Earth-rank arrows had deteriorated, but... they were still at the peak of the Profound rank! There were four arrows in total, which was worth as much as an entire Earth armament! An Earth armament—even Shanhai experts rarely possessed one! Not every Shanhai had an Earth armament of their own. Yet here, someone had casually picked up a fortune. Without hesitation, the Shanhai expert who had found the quiver turned and fled at maximum speed! Run! He never dreamed that randomly picking up a quiver would yield four long arrows that had once been mid-tier Earth armaments. These things were worth more than ordinary Earth armaments. He had to escape! Meanwhile, someone gasped in horror, "That corpse... that corpse had a longbow slung across its back!" Utter shock! If the arrows were mid-tier Earth armaments, what about the bow? Was this an ancient archery expert? An Invincible? If not an Invincible, who—even among Sun Moon experts—would be willing to use mid-tier Earth armaments as disposable arrows?! Several figures immediately darted off in pursuit of the fleeing man, while the rest scrambled to search through the remaining relics. No matter what it was, they snatched it up. Someone even picked up an ancient city token—not one for the innermost rings, but an ancient token nonetheless. Overjoyed, he snatched it and fled. "Pursue them!" "The spatial pocket has collapsed, but the main prize was that corpse, and Tianduo took it!" "Tianduo snatched the corpse of an ancient Invincible!" "..." Wave after wave of news spread like wildfire. Those who hadn't managed to scavenge anything flew toward Nine Stars Island. A massive opportunity—a monumental, heaven-defying fortune! An unbelievable opportunity had appeared! A Heaven armament, ancient cultivation arts, an Invincible corpse, and countless treasures had all been seized by Tianduo of the Primordial Demon race. Now, Foutuling and Tianduo were locked in a running battle, vanishing into the depths of the ocean. *** Before long, the entirety of Nine Stars Island erupted in turmoil! Tianduo and Foutuling had clashed and shattered an ancient spatial pocket, which contained a complete, preserved corpse of an ancient Invincible. According to eyewitnesses, even after countless years, the corpse exuded pressure that could pierce the heavens! It was an ancient powerhouse of the archery path, bearing a Heaven-rank longbow, while his arrows had been mid-tier Earth armaments—likely treated as mere consumables—a quiver of which a lucky bystander had scavenged before fleeing! A sharp-eyed observer swore with absolute certainty, "It's very likely an ancient powerhouse of the Tianyi God race—the very one rumored to have shot and killed an Invincible!" "Back then, when the space shattered, heaven and earth lost color. Even after countless years of death, the pressure eclipsed ninth-stage Sun Moon experts..." "The Heaven armament seemed to still be dormant, yet it already radiated shocking, murderous intent!" "I even sensed the aura of divine characters. That expert might still have divine characters residing in his sea of will; his sea of will might not have crumbled..." "..." Rumor after rumor spread rapidly, shaking Nine Stars Island to its foundations. A moment later, powerful figures from the Primordial Demon race strode forth in haste. Soon, experts from various races took to the skies and vanished into the distance. This treasure could not be allowed to fall into the hands of the Primordial Demon race! The corpse of an ancient Invincible? To be frank, across countless years, no race had ever obtained the corpse of an ancient Invincible. Even the human race's Invincible ruins contained no actual Invincible corpses! *** At this moment, even the humans could no longer sit still. Zhu Guangshen ordered swiftly, "Investigate! Track down Tianduo and the others!" "We must seize it! The corpse of an ancient Invincible... Even if it wasn't an Invincible, it was definitely a top-tier powerhouse..." It wasn't just Zhu Guangshen. Experts across Nine Stars Island, neighboring Tianxia Island, and the surrounding seas converged toward this region. Perhaps claiming that corpse was their chance to attain the Dao! An ancient Invincible! Even if there were nothing else, a corpse and a Heaven armament alone were worth these Sun Moon experts risking their lives for! *** At the same time. Su Yu took out Tianduo's sub-ranking medallion, which was vibrating intensely. "Tianduo, sell it to the Heaven Hunting Pavilion for a hundred drops of xuanhuang liquid... No, three hundred drops!" Su Yu tossed the sub-ranking medallion aside! He let out a chuckle. Three hundred drops—good grief, they were truly wealthy. That was comparable to nine hundred strands of Heaven and Earth Profound Light! Of course, he had to be careful they didn't discover it was a fake, so he wouldn't trade with them! The Heaven Hunting Pavilion was far too mysterious! Su Yu fled swiftly. He wouldn't return just yet; he would wait a day or two for the news to ferment before heading back.
