Chapter 314 Origins Treasure
The five of them flew towards the mountain that was slowly rising.
“We can’t go up the mountain,” King True Martial said. His domain tried to penetrate the mountain. “The purple Origins aura protects the mountain. Before the purple Origins aura converges, we can’t approach it.” King True Martial looked at Meng Chuan. “Junior Brother Meng, you should be carrying a small grotto-heaven with you, right?”
“Yes.” Meng Chuan nodded without denying it.
King Calm Sea was alarmed. A small pocket grotto-heaven was extremely rare. To refine such a small grotto-heaven that he could carry with him, he needed valuable treasures and to meet high strength requirements! The price of 500 million credits that was previously mentioned to Meng Chuan was a price for disciples.
Even to King True Martial and King Calm Sea, 500 million credits was a huge amount. They wouldn’t be extravagant enough to exchange for a Grotto-Heaven Magic Bead that wasn’t of any use to their combat prowess. They were purely for storing items. King True Martial used a void bracelet that contained a 500-by-500-kilometer void. It could only store dead objects, but it was cheap. It cost him 30 million credits.
Life could exist within a grotto-heaven; that was why grotto-heaven treasures were valuable. Grotto-heaven treasures contained the power of a world.
“It’s said that the fourth Firmament demon monarchs that have infiltrated the human world are hiding in a small grotto-heaven. Senior Brother Meng also has a small grotto-heaven?” said Yan Chitong excitedly.
“A small grotto-heaven?” Xue Feng looked at Meng Chuan. Meng Chuan was too mysterious. How could he have such a treasure?
Why does Meng Chuan have one when King True Martial and I don’t have one? King Calm Sea pondered. Did he encounter a fortuitous encounter, or did Archean Mountain bestow it to him? If Archean Mountain really gave it to him… there must be a special reason.
The three sects typically owned most of the small grotto-heavens. Even when they were used to move people and transport food during the mass migrations, they were only given to Regis Godfiends for temporary usage As for purchasing it? How many could afford it?
“Junior Brothers.” King True Martial looked at Meng Chuan, Yan Chitong, and Xue Feng. He said, “An Origins treasure is more important than the Spacetime Floating Ice. Archean Mountain is in desperate need of them! The competition for Origins treasures might be a little intense. King Calm Sea and I won’t be able to unleash our full strength if we need to protect the three of you.
Therefore, it’s best for the three of you to hide in a small grotto-heaven. It’ll be much safer this way.”
“Alright.” Meng Chuan, Yan Chitong, and Xue Feng nodded in agreement.
“Junior Brother Meng, it’s better if you stay and help us,” said King Calm Sea. “He’s much faster than the two of us. Speed is very important when it comes to snatching treasures… The moment the Origins treasure appears, we have to obtain it as quickly as possible.”
King True Martial hesitated for a moment, but he had to admit that King Calm Sea’s words made sense. Meng Chuan was much faster than them.
“Junior Brother Meng…” King True Martial looked at Meng Chuan.
“Since Archean Mountain urgently needs this Origins treasure, I’ll naturally do my best,” said Meng Chuan with a smile.
“Alright, don’t stray too far from me later. As long as you are within 100 feet of me, I’ll ensure your safety,” said King True Martial.
Meng Chuan smiled and said, “Thank you, Senior Brother.” His life-preservation abilities weren’t bad, but with King True Martial around, he was more confident. Meng Chuan looked at Xue Feng and Yan Chitong. “Don’t resist. I’ll pull you into my grotto-heaven.”
“Alright.” Xue Feng and Yan Chitong were still somewhat curious.
Meng Chuan waved his hand. Xue Feng and Yan Chitong were transported inside by the Grotto-Heaven Magic Bead’s world power. “We’ll wait here,” said King True Martial. “Once the purple Origins aura dissipates, we will immediately snatch the treasure.”
“Senior Brothers, how valuable is this Origins treasure?” asked Meng Chuan.
King True Martial smiled and said, “Origins treasures can only form when a world is born. They contain a portion of the World Origins’s powers. We can no longer find such treasures in our human world. Even in the River of Spacetime, it’s very difficult to obtain one.”
It contains the power of World Origins? Meng Chuan fell into deep thought. “Your small grotto-heaven contains the power of the world because it has a Grotto-Heaven Origins,” explained King True Martial. “As for our entire human world, it also has World Origins. It is the true foundation of the world. Everything in the world grows because of it. It has too many uses. When King Calm Sea and I entered the World Gap, our first target was Origins treasures.”
“Such treasures will also help us win the war,” said King Calm Sea in a rare instance. After all, they would be working together later.
“Understood.” Meng Chuan nodded.
“The demons are here.” King True Martial looked into the distance. “Furthermore, they seem very arrogant.” “Arrogant?” Meng Chuan and King Calm Sea didn’t see the demons. After a while, they saw a black line appear on the distant horizon. As the black line drew closer, it turned out to be a black wave.
The black waves surged over. Although he was quite far away, Meng Chuan’s heart palpated when he stared at the black waves.
The black waves spread out for hundreds of kilometers in a dominating manner. Two figures stood above the waves, side by side. One was a black-robed elder, while the other was a goat-horned demon monarch in red scale armor.
“Patriarch Poison Dragon and Blood Shura?” King Calm Sea’s pupils constricted.
“The two of them?” Meng Chuan was shocked as well. There were more fifth Firmament demon monarchs than Regis Godfiends. Among them, five were most dazzling-they had the strength of a demon sage. Patriarch Poison Dragon and Blood Shura were ranked among them.
“Blood Shura doesn’t follow the demon monarch cultivation system, but a Shura cultivation system from the outer realm.” King True Martial was much more solemn. “His body is powerful, and his close combat strength is extremely terrifying. He once fought a demon sage head-on without being disadvantaged.
“As for Patriarch Poison Dragon, he’s even more terrifying. Although he can’t become a demon sage due to his aging body, his technique realm has already reached the level of a demon sage. Furthermore, he has transformed his body into a pool of black, poisonous water by cultivating with an outer realm treasure. This body has no flaws. Every drop of black water is extremely poisonous. He once transformed into the Blackwater Poison Pool to trap a demon sage and erode his body, forcing the demon sage to flee. Among the demons, only two fifth Firmament demon monarchs have managed to defeat demon sages. Patriarch Poison Dragon was one of them,” said King True Martial.
Although Meng Chuan had obtained information on fifth Firmament demon monarchs, he clearly didn’t know as much as King True Martial and King Calm Sea.
Chi! Chi! Chi!
The poisonous, black waves spread out in all directions, enveloping the mountain. They eventually invaded King True Martial’s domain, revealing Meng Chuan, King True Martial, and King Calm Sea.
Huh? Patriarch Poison Dragon and Blood Shura were alarmed when they saw this.
“It’s King True Martial and King Calm Sea,” said Patriarch Poison Dragon. “Both of them have strength comparable to a demon sage.”
“Kill them if you can. If you can’t kill them, hold them back. We’ll leave after we seize the treasures,” said Blood Shura.
Patriarch Poison Dragon nodded. “Yes.”
In the World Gap, they had the confidence to face any human.
Both parties knew that their opponents weren’t to be trifled with when they met.
“Archean Mountain Godfiends.” Patriarch Poison Dragon stood in the black waves that spanned hundreds of kilometers. His voice resounded through the world as he laughed. “Three months ago, we encountered King Molten and King White Treasure from Black Sand Grotto-Heaven. The two of them managed to escape thanks to their exquisite life-preservation means. I want to see if you Archean Mountain Godfiends can escape.”
“What an audacious claim,” said King Calm Sea coldly with a cold glint in his eyes.
“Junior, you have only cultivated for 100 years. You should be more humble,” said Patriarch Poison Dragon with a chuckle. Blood Shura remained expressionless beside him.
Junior? King Calm Sea narrowed his eyes. How proud was he? How dare a demon monarch address him as a junior?
