Fluorescence bloomed in the clear lake. Mu Chen and the others stared at the lake intently, as if wanting to pierce through it to explore the treasures contained within.

“Let’s get ready to take action.” Han Shan licked his lips. It had been an arduous journey, and now that he had finally come all the way to his destination, it was time to harvest the fruit. Mu Chen and the others nodded enthusiastically, clearly unable to hold their excitement back.

“Try not to contaminate the lake. As for who the treasure belongs to, it’s up to fate.” Han Shan laughed, and then he moved first and swept out. With a wave of his sleeve, majestic spiritual energy rolled out in great waves, and as the huge waves rolled, the massive white bones in the lake were exposed.

Han Shan found a landing point. His figure flickered and directly appeared on a section of white bone. He then sat down cross-legged, and spiritual energy triggered a hurricane that surrounded his body. The lake howled, but it was unable to approach him.

The other three strong men of the Demonic Rhino Clan also immediately swept out, each looking for a section of white bone, and sat down hurriedly.

“Let’s do it, too.” Mu Chen nodded towards Nine Nether, Ink Blade, and Ink Ring. He no longer hesitated and appeared in mid-air above the lake. He looked down at the vast lake. Deep in the lake, there seemed to be an indescribably large skeleton. Even though it had fallen thousands of years ago, it still had a palpable mysterious, majestic aura.

Mu Chen sighed in his heart as his body floated down. He landed on a white bone and then sat down cross-legged. Immediately, he felt an unusually cold sensation that made him shiver.

“Let me try. What kind of treasures can I encounter?” Mu Chen murmured, closing his eyes. His spiritual energy perception quietly flowed down from his body to the bones he was sitting on and spread little by little into the lake.

When his perception entered the lake, Mu Chen immediately sensed an oppressive pressure from all sides. Under this pressure, his originally sharp perception became much duller, and the range of perception was also reduced by nearly 90%.

“Indeed, it’s not as simple as I thought.” Mu Chen again sighed deeply in his heart. He had expected that the treasure hunt would not go smoothly. It now seemed that indeed, with the lake’s suppression, perceiving the treasures would become extraordinarily difficult.

Even so, Mu Chen would not give up, thus he waited patiently and gradually calmed down. If he lost his patience in this treasure hunt, he would inevitably return empty-handed.

In the cold lake, his perception traveled along a skeleton, and Mu Chen became aware of the skeleton’s size. According to his estimate, this Treasure Beast’s body may have been 100,000,000 feet long, and that was colossal. Moreover, even though it had fallen thousands of years ago, the skeleton was still as strong as gold and iron. Even with how strong Mu Chen’s body was, it was far inferior in comparison.

If it had been possible to remove the bones, they would have been able to create countless Divine Artifacts…

Mu Chen marvelled as his perception swept out. The Treasure Beast would not be weaker than Lord Gladiator had been in the Body-refining Tower. However, such a powerful existence had eventually fallen with the destruction of the Land of the Divine Beasts. It was hard to imagine how terrible and powerful the Extraterritorial Clan was.

Time passed quickly in the course of Mu Chen’s incredulous marvels. Without realizing it, Mu Chen’s perception had spread along the skeleton for nearly half an hour. To his great frustration, he had only sensed 1,000 feet in that half an hour, which was obviously not worth mentioning in comparison with the Treasure Beast’s mammoth body.

Moreover, in the course of his perception, Mu Chen had not sensed any fluctuations of treasures. If he hadn’t believed Han Shan, and the skeleton in front of him was something extraordinary, he could not help but wonder if they had found the wrong target…

However, Mu Chen’s doubt did not last long, and with the deepening of his perception, he suddenly noticed a strange wave coming out of a skeleton in front of him.

Aware of this fluctuation, Mu Chen’s heart rejoiced, and his perception rapidly deepened. He then perceived a gray dagger quietly suspended in the bones. There were ancient lines of inscription on the dagger’s surface. The blade’s edge glowed with purple light, and an extremely sharp aura emanated from the blade, causing a slight chill to be felt.

This dagger was actually a Magnificent Grade Divine Artifact.

Mu Chen was secretly shocked. He had randomly chanced upon a Magnificent Grade Divine Artifact, which even to many Seventh Grade Sovereigns, would be a great weapon.

There was a pause in Mu Chen’s perception. He lingered outside the dagger, hesitating, apparently considering whether to take it. If he sold this Magnificent Grade Divine Artifact, he could obtain hundreds of thousands of drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid. His hesitation lasted a few moments, and then Mu Chen withdrew his perception and went straight to a deeper place. He actually had given up a Magnificent Grade Divine Artifact.

Although the value of the Magnificent Grade Divine Artifact was not low, it was not Mu Chen’s goal in coming here, so this artifact’s grade was not enough to tempt him. Since it was not enough to tempt him, he did not see the need to take action. He had his eyes on his goal, so he just needed to move on to that goal. If one picked up whatever they saw, it was likely that he would end up empty-handed, or even if he didn’t, he wouldn’t be able to meet his initial expectations. If that was the case, then why bother?

At this point, Mu Chen’s perception was rapidly deepening along the bones, and he was astonished to discover that in the course of the journey, there were amazing pieces of treasures that surfaced. None of those treasures were below Magnificent Grade Divine Artifact, and some of them were at the top of the grade, so powerful that even Mu Chen was a little frightened.

Pieces of top-notch artifacts passed by in Mu Chen’s perception. Greed seemed to breed more easily when priceless artifacts were within easy reach. Even Mu Chen was no exception, but as his greed rose, he immediately became alert, as if he felt something was wrong. Mu Chen couldn’t explain what exactly was wrong, but he just had a hunch that if he took those artifacts, he would regret it.

Mu Chen ruminated, and suddenly, his resolve finally became firm. This time, if he couldn’t obtain the Quasi-Divine Artifact, he would rather not take anything and return empty-handed!

The moment Mu Chen’s mind was made up, he was suddenly surprised. He perceived that the Magnificent Grade Divine Artifacts that had originally appeared had disappeared entirely, as if they had not existed at all.

“Something is amiss indeed.” Mu Chen grew more alert. The Treasure Beast’s treasures were not as easy to get as he might have imagined, and the unsettling aura had probably been designed by the Treasure Beast.

If he had taken the artifacts from before, what would have happened was unknown, but he could have been certain that in doing so, he would have been unable to get the Quasi-Divine Artifact he wanted most.

With alertness growing in his heart, Mu Chen’s perception continued rapidly along the bones, and as it moved, the bones in front of it suddenly disappeared. The surrounding lake became dark, as if it had strayed into another space.

Mu Chen’s perception lay in the darkness, but he did not panic, for he did not perceive danger. He lingered silently, and he realized that the Treasure Beast must have left some means when it fell, lest its treasure be encroached upon wantonly by greed. The things he had encountered before had probably been a test.

Buzz.

In the darkness, a light suddenly bloomed, and a majestic torrent 10,000 feet long burst out. Innumerable objects flew in the current, emanating huge spiritual energy fluctuations.

Mu Chen’s perception extended, and then he inhaled a deep breath. He found that the torrent was transformed from tens of thousands of artifacts.

“It’s the Treasure Beast indeed…” Mu Chen marvelled. These Divine Artifacts were of good quality. If auctioned in the Great Thousand World, their total value was so massive that it would simply be incalculable. The Sovereign Spiritual Liquid accumulated could theoretically help a First Grade Sovereign cultivate all the way to Ninth Grade Sovereign.

Mu Chen looked at the stream of artifacts, and a moment later, his gaze suddenly focused. He looked to the center of the flood where three beams of light were suspended. A fluctuation strong enough to make Mu Chen feel pressured slowly emanated from the light. Thousands of artifacts surrounded the beams like a subject kneeling to worship the emperor.

Mu Chen gazed at the three light clusters, and then his heartbeat suddenly sped up. He stared at the three light clusters scorchingly. Those kinds of powerful fluctuations were far beyond the Magnificent Grade Divine Artifacts!

All the wonderful artifacts he had seen before were like the gap between a firefly and a bright moon!

This must be the true Quasi-Divine Artifact, beyond the level of Divine Artifact, stepping into the arena of Sacred Artifact!

In the face of the appearance of three Quasi-Divine Artifacts, even with Mu Chen’s calm state of mind, he could not resist his exhilaration. His gaze was focused intently on the three clusters of light, and then the light faded. He finally saw what was contained within… an axe, a ruler, and a mirror.
