Chapter 413: Chapter 382: True Monarch of a Hundred Treasures_1

“Stabilize!”

“Hold on!”

Even though the three from the Cluster Stars Sect were injured by the counter-shock, they had no intention of giving up.

Even though their Primordial Gold Bell was not as effective as Xu Mu’s God Refining Tripod, their combined strength was far beyond his. With a shifting balance of power, they still felt confident of suppressing Xu Mu.

Moreover, Xu Mu was closer to their bell and tripod, making him more vulnerable to the sonic backlash. They possessed plenty of healing medicines bestowed upon them by their Sect, which would definitely allow them to endure longer than Xu Mu.

With such thoughts, the three from the Cluster Stars Sect released their Magic Artifacts for protection, continuously manipulating the Primordial Gold Bell to strike at the God Refining Tripod.

In a moment, the chime reverberated continuously, and visible white sound waves spread out like a surging river.

Having a defensive Magic Artifact, along with the aid of the pill, not only did the three from the Cluster Stars Sect managed to resist the sonic backlash, they even seemed rather at ease. On the contrary, Xu Mu appeared to be —

Strange?

Xu Mu had initially intended to deploy his defenses. The reason he hadn’t done so earlier was due to its irrelevance, as the surrounding area was riddled with spatial rifts. Regardless of having defensive measures or not, they wouldn’t help anyway. On top of depleting his Spiritual Power for no reason, it might even risk destroying his Magic Artifact.

The three from the Cluster Stars Sect probably thought the same, which was why they were caught off guard on the first assault. Although Xu Mu was in the same boat, his advancement in Body Refinement made him less reliant on defense, and he would only deploy a shield of Spiritual Power at most.

However, Xu Mu who was about to take action, suddenly halted. His expression seemed somewhat strange. He looked dazed for a moment, then his face lit up with realization, followed by a flash of delight in his eyes. But he quickly composed himself and adopted a look of distress.

Following the sweep of the sound wave, his face turned white as a sheet, and he expelled more blood than before, looking utterly drained.

Xu Mu’s change in facial expression went unnoticed by the three from the Cluster Stars Sect; they only saw Xu Mu struggling to keep up.

“How easy would it be to wield Heavenly Spirit Treasures! This man might have defied all odds with his extraordinary luck during the Nascent Soul Stage, gaining possession of two Heavenly Spirit Treasures, but it’s laughable to think he could harness their full power!” said the star-pupilled teenager joyfully.

“Indeed! He’s doomed now! He actually dares to resist directly!”

Both the white-browed middle-aged man and the hooked-nose old man couldn’t contain their glee, with the excitement even causing their beards to bristle.

If they could suppress Xu Mu, they would be able to obtain two Heavenly Spirit Treasures.

Those were Heavenly Spirit Treasures!

Any one of them could serve as a Sect-suppressing divine artifact for a top-tier Nascent Soul powerhouse like them; it’s something they might not come across in their entire lives with their qualifications.

What’s more, both of these treasures were out of the ordinary, surpassing the abilities of most treasures.

Even among Heavenly Spirit Treasures, they could be ranked high or low based on their respective features. It was clear that both of Xu Mu’s were top-tier items.

Wealth drives people crazy!

An evil thought had even begun to sprout in the minds of the three from the Cluster Stars Sect.

If I could make them mine, wouldn’t it mean…

With such a sky-high opportunity, few would not be tempted.

Even Fairy Red Frost of Butian Pavilion, who was observing from afar, and the white-bearded, white-haired Nascent Soul old man from the Four Seas Immortal Palace were moved.

The latter was named True Monarch Baibao. From his title alone, it was clear he possessed numerous Magic Artifacts. Indeed, aside from being a True Monarch of the Nascent Soul Stage, he was also a tier-ten Artifact Refiner with tremendous fame.

However, constant artifact refinement was a huge drain on his stamina. To enhance the power of his Magic Artifacts, he often used Secret Skills with severe side effects. Years of accumulation had led to his premature aging.

To avoid ending his path, he paid a tremendous price to secure the opportunity to enter the Xuan Yang Secret Realm.

The Palace Master of the Four Seas Immortal Palace was smart enough not to enter the Xuan Yang Secret Realm. He simply traded the opportunity to the Nascent Soul Stage who wished to enter, conducting a profitable business.

Both True Monarch Baibao and Xu Mu aimed for the Xuan Yang Holy Water.

Except that Xu Mu wanted it for his son, while True Monarch Baibao needed it for himself.

Most Nascent Souls that had entered shared a similar objective, given how effective the Xuan Yang Holy Water was. Only if they couldn’t find the Xuan Yang Holy Water would they settle for other treasures.

But how can treasures be so easily found?

If it were so easy, they would have been pilfered long ago.

For example, within this secret realm, dealing with the delirious Monster Beasts and spatial rifts alone was already exhausting. If spatial fluctuations broke out at the explosion point, even a Nascent Soul Stage would fall into it.

This is also why the three major powerhouses did not send potential disciples in, the variables were just too unpredictable.

Now that they were in neck deep, naturally, they hoped to gain something.

Unexpectedly, they actually found it!

After the golden light, the holy water fell from the sky – True Monarch of Hundred Treasures and Fairy Red Frost could be said to be ecstatic.

Fairy Red Frost and True Monarch of Hundred Treasures were similar, except her cultivation had issues which made her body transform unexpectedly, causing her cultivation level unable to progress. This led her to desire Xuan Yang Holy Water all along.

Now that the Xuan Yang Holy Water appeared, naturally they would fight with their lives on the line to seize it.

However, after the initial ecstasy, the emotions of both were somewhat complicated.

Xu Mu was faster, that spiritual treasure which eradicated the spatial rifts drove them to despair.

Watching the Xuan Yang Holy Water in the sky about to fall into Xu Mu’s hands, at this moment the disciples from Cluster Stars Sect appeared, and the instantaneous movement of the Primordial Golden Bell made both of their hearts sink to the bottom.

Now they might not even get a taste of the soup!

In the past, because they needed to control their consumption, they could follow behind Cluster Stars Sect to savor some soup. Now with the variable that was Xu Mu, he obviously would not even leave them any soup.

What surprised both was that neither side went after the Xuan Yang Holy Water, instead, they started fighting.

However, the fight between the two had a little bit of an immortal-like taste to it.

Using Heavenly Spirit Treasures to collide?

Such a situation, the two had lived more than half of their lives, let alone seen before, they didn’t even hear of such an encounter.

Could you consider the feelings of us ordinary Nascent Souls!!

Both felt like crying but had no tears.

Although they did spend a lot at the time when they came out, preparing many lifesaving and desperate items, they were clearly not on the same level as the two.

Especially the True Monarch of Hundred Treasures, he felt his title was somewhat ironic.

All his years of savings, all his treasures, couldn’t compare to a single item they had.

We are all in the early stages of Nascent Soul, why are you doing so well!!

Besides the psychological pressure from the magic artifacts, the unremittingly spreading sound waves made it impossible for them to detour and snatch away the food from the tiger’s mouth.

Now they can only pray that both sides will be injured together, allowing them to reap the benefits. However, looking at the situation on the field, it seems difficult.

“Fairy Red Frost! How about we join forces?” True Monarch of Hundred Treasures suggested through a voice transmission.

“You old thing, you wouldn’t be thinking of…?” Fairy Red Frost’s eyes flashed.

“Don’t you want to?”

The tone of the True Monarch of Hundred Treasures was somewhat heavy.

“Are you sure?” Fairy Red Frost countered.

“Such a big opportunity is right in front of us, even if we only have a fraction of a chance, I have to give it a try!” The eyes of the True Monarch of Hundred Treasures looked frenzied.

“Alright!”

Fairy Red Frost clenched her silver teeth, her gaze instantly becoming firm.

That was a Heavenly Spirit Treasure. If she could get one, even if Cluster Stars Sect pursued her, she would accept it.

“In that case, when that young man is defeated later, we will…”

The two began to conspire and discuss how to benefit in the upcoming situation. After their negotiations, they quietly prepared and patiently waited.

Just that the waiting time was a bit long.

“Is that kid going to die or not?”
