Chapter 2104: A Sea of Treasures

“The source of the monster’s power should be that divine-force vortex. The balance of the four divine forces will crumble once it is destroyed. At that point, the monster will be weakened and it is our chance to escape,” said the Maiden of a Thousand Stars with a serious expression on her face.

With the aid from the Divine Eye of Origin, she could peek at the origins of all matters of things.

However, the Maiden of a Thousand Stars frowned and said, “The power condensed by the divine-force vortex is mighty.

“Ordinary attacks will crush us as soon as we get close to it. It’s impossible to destroy it.

“On top of that, the divine-force vortex is located in a special, distorted space, and any attacks are useless against it. If the attack fails, the monster will be alarmed. Therefore, we have only one chance.”

Apparently, although they had found the monster’s weakness, it was not easy to escape through it.

‘There’s not much time left for me. But I would like to fight for one last time, no matter what,’ the look in the eyes of the Son of the Darkness was gloom. His pitch-black eyes shone with determination again. It could be that the appearance of Zhang Ruochen and the Maiden of a Thousand Stars had given him hope to escape.

Who would wish to die if there were chances to live?

Besides that, he knew that Zhang Ruochen and the Maiden of a Thousand Stars were no fools. They could foresee that the chances of destroying the divine-force vortex were very slim.

Nevertheless, there’s only one chance.

By combining the strength of the trio, the chances to succeed would be higher.

“Look at us, one from the Kunlun Realm, one from the Ancient Civilization, and one from the Infernal Court. We were supposed to be enemies and now we have to work together to survive. What say you?”

The Maiden of a Thousand Stars stared at Zhang Ruochen. She wished to know if he was willing to put aside his prejudice and join forces for once.

Zhang Ruochen, on the other hand, was deeply in his thoughts like an old monk meditating.

The chances to succeed would be much higher if the Son of Darkness joined forces too.

Although the Son of Darkness was in his frail state, Zhang Ruochen didn’t underestimate him. It could be terrifying if he made a sudden move.

Although Zhang Ruochen was not very happy about it, he did not have other choices at the moment.

“I know you despise the Infernal Court and did not wish to join forces with me, Zhang Ruochen. Fret not! Once we got out of this, we can still be arch-enemies, and I will fight you in a one-on-one battle. Our downfall shall depend on our strength. ” The Son of Darkness and his encouraging aura outshone Zhang Ruochen’s indecisiveness.

Zhang Ruochen was turning over in his mind and made a decision. After all, the Son of Darkness was not in his best state, and he himself could not hold on much longer.

“Let’s work together and fight with all our strength,” said Zhang Ruochen.

The Son of Darkness lifted his head and looked into Zhang Ruochen’s eyes upon hearing about it. He nodded and said, “Alright! Let’s work together and break the shackles of fate.”

The trio began to discuss the details right away. There was only one chance. They dare not be careless with it. They had to consider everything thoroughly.

Not before long, the trio was ready. The Son of Darkness began his drawing on the ground once again.

The engravings he drew this time were much more complicated than the ones before. They were densely packed and infused with a tremendous amount of dark energy at the same time.

The Zangshan Demonic Mirror was hanging above Zhang Ruochen and the Maiden of a Thousand Stars. They poured their Saint Qi into the mirror and continues to unleash its strongest power.

Concurrently, a black Saint Bell burst out of the Son of Darkness’s body. It gave off an ancient and majestic aura.

There was no doubt that the bell was an ancient divine artifact, which belonged to the gods who practice the Path of Darkness.

CRASH!

The engravings on the ground were activated. They burst out a deep dark brilliance. It soared into the sky, breaking through all the obstacles in the sky just like before.

The huge divine-force vortex appeared again in front of Zhang Ruochen and the other two.

“Attack!”

Without any hesitation, the three immediately launched a powerful attack.

The Zangshan Demonic Mirror and the black Saint Bell were shot out simultaneously and released the Supreme Power along with the Dark Divine Power. They were like two black dragons trying to break out of the cage, wanted to soar into the nine heavens.

Under their deliberate control, the Supreme Power and the Dark Divine Power converged. Like a volcanic eruption, they banged straight into the divine power-vortex.

BOOM!

The divine-force vortex shook violently. Layers of barriers were all shattered in an instant.

Seconds later, the divine-force vortex was torn apart. An enormous amount of divine power surged and spread in all directions, causing the entire space to shake violently and become unstable.

A dazzling brilliance flew out of the torn vortex of divine power. Zhang Ruochen saw clearly that there was a huge number of treasures in each brilliance.

Fist-sized divine pill, an overwhelming ancient bronze weapon, and a crystal clear Saint source.

“This monster is one of the five overlords indeed,” Zhang Ruochen thought.

According to the short skinny old man, there were numerous treasures scattered in the ruins of the Dragon God Temple. But basically, they were all taken away by the five overlords who occupied the Dragon God Shrine.

Zhang Ruochen had suspected it before. If such a terrifying monster couldn’t be named as one of the five overlords, just how powerful would the five overlords be?

ROAR!

The divine-force monster released an angry roar. Its voice reverberated through the inner world inside its body, making Zhang Ruochen and the other two spit out saint blood. Their Saint Souls seemed to be on the verge of shattering.

The shattered vortex began to formed itself slowly.

“We must break the body of the divine-force monster and escape this place right now. Otherwise, when the vortex condenses again, we’ll be dead for sure.”

The black Saint Bell controlled by the Son of Darkness attacked the void space as he said this.

BANG!

The bell rang and shook the void space, but it could not break the body of the divine-force monster.

It could not break through at all.

The vortex continued to agglomerate rapidly and became stronger and stronger.

“I will break it. You go and collect the treasures. We shouldn’t leave empty-handed since we are here,” said Zhang Ruochen to the Maiden of a Thousand Stars.

Zhang Ruochen focused on his energy and released the Percepts of Dimension. He grabbed a streak of the divine force of Dimension, controlled the power, and slashed it out like a divine blade.

BOOM!

The monster’s body was torn through a huge crack.

Standing inside the monster’s inner world, they looked out. The crack was dozens of meters long. It looked like a one-line sky of the gorge. This crack was the only way for them to survive.

Although Zhang Ruochen had refined a large number of the divine crystals of Dimension and had the power to utilize the divine force of Dimension, it was still a heavy load for him to maintain. “I can only hold on for three breaths at most. You guys go ahead,” he roared.

At this moment, a strange occurrence happened.

In an instance, the Son of Darkness’ body was releasing a much stronger aura than before. He took the black Saint Bell, releasing a powerful suction force. It absorbed all the divine light enveloping the treasure from the Maiden of a Thousand Stars.

“You two idiots. You’ve lost your value. Now Die!”

The Son of Darkness carried the Black Saint Bell and rushed to the edge of the crack, exuding a terrifying murderous aura, and two dark chains burst out from his body.

The chains carried along with monstrous killing intent. They were like two ruthless black dragons, charging at Zhang Ruochen and the Maiden of a Thousand Stars.

The chains releasing a terrifying power could even kill the Neverwither Supreme Saint.

Who would have thought that the extremely weak Son of Darkness would suddenly attack them?

The current Son of Darkness was completely different from before. His eyes were cold and merciless, and his body with all kinds of evil power surging. He stared at Zhang Ruochen and the Maiden of a Thousand Stars as if he was looking at two idiots.

However, just when he thought that they were dead for sure…

The space around Zhang Ruochen rippled slightly, slowing down the two chains as if they had fallen into a quagmire.

“Do you think that I have let my guard down on you?” Zhang Ruochen said lightly.

The Son of Darkness’s eyes narrowed. “Weren’t you doing your best to support the escape route? How could you possibly still have the strength to block my attack?”

“If I didn’t say that, how could you have given yourself away?” Zhang Ruochen asked.

The Maiden of a Thousand Stars had already stood behind Zhang Ruochen. The Saint Qi in her body condensed into a ray of Divine Light of Origin. Her eyes flashed coldly. “Son of Darkness, I underestimated you and your cunningness. I’ve almost been fooled by you before.”

With nothing to say, Zhang Ruochen shifted the Precepts of Dimension. He reached out and pressed forward, causing a large area of space around the Son of Darkness to collapse quickly.

The divine power vortex was destroyed. The various restrictions in this space had weakened. It no longer affected Zhang Ruochen’s ability to use dimensional techniques.

Even if he was as superior as Yan Wushen, Zhang Ruochen still had the confidence to fight him.

With his current cultivation base and his attainment in the Path of Dimension and the Path of Time, he might be able to fight against a top-notch cultivator below the First-Tier of Supreme Sainthood.

“It seems that I underestimated you. I can’t even plot against the likes of you.” The Son of Darkness didn’t get panic due to the collapsing space.

His calmness made Zhang Ruochen and the Maiden of a Thousand Stars felt a sense of danger.

The Son of Darkness was a great enemy that they had never encountered before, both in terms of cultivation and wisdom. It was hard to find the second one in the entire world.

“Rip!”

The Son of Darkness’s body was swallowed by the shattered space and shattered into pieces.

“Is it really over for the Son of Darkness? Or was it our imagination?” said the Maiden of a Thousand Stars. However, she was still anxious as she felt that everything was not over yet.

At this moment, an extremely shocking scene appeared.

A black dot of light rapidly escaped from the shattered space. It spun crazily and kept on expanding until it turned into a black hole.

A slender figure walked out from the black hole. Like an emperor descending upon the world, he gazed at his surrounding.

He was none other than the Son of Darkness.

This Son of Darkness was fully rejuvenated. He became young and handsome, and his body emitted a powerful life force. He did not look weak at all.

Seeing this, the Maiden of a Thousand Stars’s face turned pale. “This is… the secret technique of the Fane of Darkness.”

“Oh? So you knew about the Divine Embryo of Darkness technique? The Thousand-Star Civilization was knowledgable about the Infernal Court.” Surprise flashed in the eyes of the Son of Darkness.

Zhang Ruochen was confused. He knew very little about the Fane of Darkness.

The Maiden of a Thousand Stars explained, “The Divine Embryo of Darkness technique is a forbidden technique of the Fane of Darkness. Only a few were taught of it. It’s very difficult to be attained. But, if you are able to attain it. You can transform and have the best physique.”

“As long as you can nurture a divine embryo and shed your old body, your lifespan will be doubled. It’s like a chance of rebirth.”

Zhang Ruochen was shocked. “There’s such a secret technique in the world. If you can nurture the divine embryo endlessly, wouldn’t that mean you can live forever?”

“Theoretically, it’s true.

“But it’s already difficult to nurture a divine embryo. It’s filled with death and danger. It requires extraordinary talent and many fortuitous encounters.

“In history, the most powerful person has undergone a total of five transformations. In the end, he cultivated a supreme divine body and became a figure of the authority of the Fane of Darkness.” The Maiden of a Thousand Stars shook her head.

Hearing this, Zhang Ruochen couldn’t help but look solemn. The nine fanes had existed for countless years, and they all had extraordinary heritage. The collection of all kinds of rare secret arts was enough to tempt even deities.

The Son of Darkness moved his palm, and the black Saint Bell appeared in his hand, “This divine-force monster has collected so many treasures, more than 100 million of them. Each of them is a rare treasure. The Dragon God Shrine is indeed one of the three great shrines of Kunlun’s realm. It really didn’t disappoint me.”

“With them, the harvest of True Dragon Island trip has far exceeded my expectations.

“It’s enough to increase the strength of the entire Infernal Court. In the future, we’ll use these treasures to train the Infernal Cultivator and squash Kunlun.

“Of course, I should be gratitude towards both of you.”

It was obvious that the Son of Darkness had long discovered the existence of many treasures in the mysterious vortex. He had deliberately faked himself to lure them into cooperation with him. He wanted to escape from the monster’s body and also to get these treasures.

Zhang Ruochen and the Maiden of a Thousand Stars were also using the Son of Darkness.

However, they didn’t expect the Son of Darkness to have practiced the Divine Embryo of Darkness technique and saved his own life.

Hearing the Son of Darkness’s words, the Maiden of a Thousand Stars was so angry that she gritted her teeth.

“Those treasures don’t belong to you. You can’t take any of them.”

Zhang Ruochen poured his Saint Qi into the Zangshan Demonic Mirror.

Ripples appeared on the surface of the mirror. Like water waves, it absorbed all the power of Darkness.

At the same time, a huge amount of demonic Qi surged out of the mirror. It condensed into majestic immemorial demon mountains and pressed down on the Son of Darkness.

Murderous aura wafted out from Maiden of the Thousand Star. “Son of Darkness, I shall see how strong are you after cultivating a new body.”

Maiden of a Thousand Stars’s brows lit up. A crimson ring flew out and released boundless the divine force of Origin. It vibrated at a high frequency. The surrounding space became unstable and was on the verge of collapse.

It was an ancient divine artifact left behind by a deity who cultivated the Path of Origin. If it hadn’t been for the great improvement in the Path of Origin, the Maiden of a Thousand Stars wouldn’t have been able to activate it.

“Zhang Ruochen’s growth is too fast. He’s only just reached the Path’s Interior realm, and he’s already practiced the Path of Time and the Path of Dimension to such a profound level. If I continue to let him grow, he’ll definitely become my greatest enemy.” The Son of Darkness couldn’t help but frown.

The Son of Darkness didn’t resist their attacks. He rushed out of the monster’s body from the crack. In the process, the Supreme Power and Origin power hit him, severely wounded him.

The Son of Darkness turned around and looked at Zhang Ruochen and the Maiden of a Thousand Stars, who were rushing toward the crack. He laughed. “My friends, you don’t have to come and see me off. When I break through to the realm of the Supreme Saint, I’ll kill this monster and avenge you.”

The Son of Darkness put his hands together. Tens of millions of black lines appeared and interweaved into a bigger and bigger black millstone. It attacked Zhang Ruochen and the Maiden of a Thousand Stars.

BOOM

The black millstone rushed into the crack and collided with the power of Zhang Ruochen and the Maiden of a Thousand Stars. It stopped them.

In this short moment, the crack closed again and trapped them inside the monster.

The next moment.

The vortex in the divine-force monster’s body condensed again and recovered its energy. It let out an angry roar that shook the area of thousands of miles around True Dragon Island.

After spitting out a mouthful of blood, the Son of Darkness fled quickly.

Although he had paid a huge price this time, he had already made a huge profit by getting rid of Zhang Ruochen and the Maiden of a Thousand Stars—the two enemies—and gained a large number of treasures that would make even the deities drool.

As the divine-force monster was enraged and powerful. It would be strange if Zhang Ruochen and the Maiden of a Thousand Stars—who were trapped in its body—were not refined to death.
