Spirit Treasure, the Jade Void Golden Codex
The void of the Heavenly Mountain Great Thousand Realm is even more vast and chaotic.
The Void Turbulence roared and surged, and Void Giant Beast appeared from time to time. A cultivator Sage Manifestation could not survive here for very long.
Boom!
Caught off guard, Void-Shattering Master was sent flying by a punch from Yuan Ba, looking quite disheveled.
However, he possessed a defensive Spirit Treasure, so he was not injured.
"You beast!" With a roar, Void-Shattering Master was about to make a move when a shadow appeared behind him, and a huge Azure Wolf's head seemed capable of swallowing stars and the moon.
It was Fengling.
He first used Shadow Flash to leap behind Void-Shattering Master, then unleashed the Greater Divine Ability "Heavenly Wolf Devours the Moon," which he had comprehended after advancing to the Void Refinement and undergoing bloodline sublimation.
This is a purely killing Divine Ability that can create a massive spatial vortex, using countless tiny Spatial Fragments to generate terrifying strangulation power through rotation.
Once swallowed by the vortex, even Seventh Tier Spirit Gold will be torn to shreds.
A deadly sense of crisis washed over Void-Shattering Master's mind like a tidal wave. His eyes widened in horror, and without thinking, he used his Divine Ability to try and escape.
However, a mocking glint flashed in Feng Spirit Eyes, and the Purple Moon mark on her forehead suddenly shone with a dazzling purple light—the signature Divine Ability of the Purple Moon Wolf clan, "Purple Moon Divine Light."
A divine light suddenly appeared, shining on Void-Shattering Master and penetrating his Fleshly Body directly, affecting his soul.
"Soul Divine Ability?"
Void-Shattering Master was terrified. His consciousness became dulled and he felt drowsy under the Purple Moon Divine Light.
"Not good!"
Realizing the critical situation, Void-Shattering Master quickly used one of his treasured Seventh Tier high-level Talisman, the "Dustless Purification Talisman."
As the Talisman shattered, an extremely clear power surged through his body, directly releasing him from the control of the Purple Moon Divine Light.
"My precious treasure!!"
Void-Shattering Master was extremely distressed. After glaring fiercely at Fengling, he flashed away to leave.
He could already sense several powerful auras surrounding him; if he didn't leave now, he wouldn't be able to escape.
This Void-Shattering Master truly lives up to his reputation as a seasoned veteran in the Cultivation World, having survived countless brushes with death, which has shaped his extremely decisive character.
A crimson mist rose around him, and then he leaped out of the encirclement, disappearing thousands of miles away.
"Hmph, once I've recovered from my injuries, none of you beasts will escape!!"
Thinking he had escaped, Void-Shattering Master turned back fiercely, looking into the distant void and muttering to himself.
Then he will leave the void and return to the normal world.
But soon, Void-Shattering Master realized something was wrong, "This Spatial Fluctuations... not good!!"
Startled, Void-Shattering Master immediately stopped what he was doing, but it was too late.
Above, countless Void Turbulence converged and evolved into a furry monkey face. It wasn't the same dead monkey that had ambushed him earlier. This monkey demon's eyes were deep and unfathomable, like an abyss, with countless Array Mark writhing on them, making it seem mysterious and unpredictable.
If you step outside of Void-Shattering Master's perspective, you will see that in this vast void, a Formation has emerged, with thousands upon thousands of rays of light crisscrossing and devouring the power of the void, evolving into a circular corridor.
"Spatial Corridor Formation!"
This was a Seventh Tier Formation created by Tongming and the Void Worm working together. Void-Shattering Master thought he had escaped the encirclement, but in reality, he had only wandered around in a large circle in this spatial corridor.
With the Seventh Tier Spatial Formation guarded by several Spirit Beasts, there was no way that Void-Shattering Master could escape.
"It's over!!" Void-Shattering Master was utterly dejected. He had spent his days hunting geese, but today a goose pecked out his eyes.
A quarter of an hour later, the sky-covering Formation transformed into an octagonal Formation Disc, which Tongming then stored away.
"Hey, this old guy's fortune's pretty substantial." Tongming chuckled as he surveyed the treasures that Void-Shattering Master had looted from his Spirit Abode after his fall, all within the Formation Disc space.
"Go back and report to your master. I'm going to stretch my muscles a bit more." Yuan Ba was clearly not satisfied with the fight. After scratching his head and giving this instruction, a cloud of fire appeared beneath his feet, which turned into a streak of fire and disappeared into the vast void.
The other Spirit Beasts didn't stop him either. With Zhiming providing intelligence support and the Star-Chart Disk guaranteeing his life, it would be difficult for Yuan Ba to die even if he wanted to.
Here, under the constant impact of the Thunder, the two natal Spirit Treasures hummed and trembled, with impurities being forged out by the Thunder from time to time.
The Treasure Tribulation Lightning is both a calamity and an opportunity.
The Thunder of heaven and earth contain the purest and most refined power, which is of great benefit to solidifying the foundation of Spirit Treasures.
Of course, the terrifying destructive power of Thunder is such that most Law Treasure cannot withstand it and will be directly shattered.
When the Spirit Beasts, including Tongming, returned with their spoils, the Tribulation Lightning over the two Life-Bound Law Treasures was also coming to an end.
Clang!!
The clear, melodious Blade Cry echoed for thousands of miles, and the chilling Blade Intent crisscrossed the sky. Cultivators separated by thousands of miles felt a chill on their necks, and upon touching them, they found a faint line of blood.
"Hiss!!"
"What terrifying Blade Intent! To possess such power so soon after its creation, this Spirit Treasure must be a top-grade low-level Spirit Treasure. I wonder how many restrictions it has formed!" A cultivator at the Sage Manifestation exclaimed to his Daoist Friends beside him, rubbing his neck.
"Who cares about the restrictions? They're none of our business anyway. Such a valuable Spirit Treasure is bound to attract covetous eyes. If the Void Refinement War breaks out, we might get caught up in it too. Let's hurry and leave."
Just as the cultivator said, when both of their Life-Bound Law Treasures successfully Tribulation Transcendence and possessed astonishing power, a group of Void Refinement cultivators, driven by greed, surrounded them.
The battle between Fengling and the others and Void-Shattering Master took place in the upper layer of the void, which these Void Refinement cultivators were completely unaware of.
In addition, Yang Tianyou wanted to fish, so he deliberately concealed his cultivation level and looked like an ordinary Early Void Refinement cultivator.
He had only been a member of the Three Origin Hall for a short time, and because he lived a secluded life, not many people from outside the clan knew him.
Furthermore, since cultivators at the Void Refinement stage often go into seclusion for hundreds of years at a time, none of these people recognized Yang Tianyou.
"Make your move. These two deadly Spirit Treasures are nothing but dust in this man's hands."
Greed appeared in the eyes of the cultivator at the Mid-Stage Void Refinement. Even he only had two Spirit Treasures, one offensive and one defensive, and their quality was very average.
Upon realizing this, the man immediately took action.
With a resounding boom, a large bronze bell appeared in the sky. Its deep, Thunder sound crashed down, causing Spiritual Qi to surge wherever it passed. Countless black muds splashed up from the swamp below, and countless creatures that lived there were turned to dust by the sudden sound of the bell.
"It's Zhang Old Devil! Hmph, he truly is Demon Dao, cruel by nature. Daoist Friends, to prevent the Spirit Treasures from falling into the hands of such a demon, causing widespread suffering, we should step forward." An old man with an air of otherworldly wisdom said emphatically, but as he spoke, his eyes never left the two natal Spirit Treasures in Yang Tianyou's hands.
"Brother Liu is absolutely right. Let us join forces and not let the demon get his way."
Another person, Void Refinement, responded in agreement and took the initiative to attack.
Other Void Refinement cultivators hidden in the shadows either sneered or echoed, launching their attacks almost simultaneously, their spearheads aimed directly at Zhang Old Devil.
"Bastards! Shameless!" Zhang Old Devil felt the intense fluctuations of Spiritual Qi behind him, his cheeks twitching. He felt utterly disgusted with these so-called righteous sects.
Can you give a different reason?
Every time I participate in a treasure hunt, these people give me the same excuse, as if you're all swans. Why can't we be honest when we're out here robbing people?
While thinking, Zhang Old Devil summoned another of his Spirit Treasures.
This is a black stone, shimmering with a dark, demonic light, from which faint sounds like ghosts howling and wolves Dang Kai.
As Zhang Old Devil poured in his Law Power, the black stone Storm, instantly growing to a size of a thousand feet, blocking all the attacks.
Watching the battle between the cultivators in the sky, Yang Tianyou's expression was strange. Were they so confident they could defeat him?
"Forget it, delay might cause problems. I'd better deal with these guys sooner rather than later." As Yang Tianyou's thoughts raced, he gently stroked the blades of the Twin Blades.
"Go and guard the four directions; don't let anyone escape."
After giving the order, he stepped forward. The Twin Blades seemed to sense the impending battle, vibrating and humming with excitement.
"Heavenly Blade!!"
The voice, neither high nor low, steady yet indifferent, instantly overwhelmed everything.
Then, a fierce and chilling atmosphere enveloped everyone's hearts, making their necks feel cold and their blood seem to freeze.
What happened?
Zhang Old Devil turned around in shock, only to see a Golden Blade Light, like the light of dawn. It was initially inconspicuous, but in the next instant, it seemed capable of igniting his own body.
The blade flashed across the sky, extinguishing Zhang Old Devil's life force before he could even react.
"Am I going to die?" The moment the incredulous thought crossed his mind, his consciousness plunged into an endless, deep darkness.
"Oh no, we've run into a tough opponent."
The death of Zhang Old Devil caused the sword light to pause for a moment. The Void Refinement cultivators immediately reacted and then turned and ran.
Several others who had charged ahead earlier were now filled with regret and were frantically defending themselves, begging for mercy.
Yang Tianyou remained unmoved, his face indifferent. If you have the idea of killing to steal treasure, then you should be prepared to be killed by the backlash.
The flashing blades weave a dazzling net of swords.
Beauty often conceals deadly murderous intent.
Before long, all the Void Refinement cultivators perished. Yang Tianyou collected their corpses and sent them all into the Great White Grotto Heaven as nourishment.
As for the soul, it is also sent to the Grotto Heaven for Reincarnation.
Those who can cultivate to the Void Refinement Realm have extremely powerful True Spirits; they are all excellent seedlings and cannot be let go.
"Hmm... I guess I've come up with a one-stop funeral service?" A strange thought popped into Yang Tianyou's mind, and he chuckled as he led the Spirit Beasts away from the Soul Bewildering Marsh.
After a long while, Low-Rank Cultivators came one by one to check the situation, and then news of this great battle swept through Azure Cloud Prefecture like a hurricane.
"I never expected this Great White Guest Elder to be so powerful. Void-Shattering Master and Zhang Old Devil have fallen at his hands." The Sanyuan Hall Master frowned slightly as he looked at the intelligence report in his hand.
"Palace Master, Great White Guest Elder been giving us the runaround these days. It seems he doesn't want to join our ranks and wants to develop on his own," the Grand Elder said, stroking his beard.
"That's understandable. He's a cultivator who Ascension from the lower realm. In the lower realm, he must have become a powerful figure, someone who wouldn't be content to remain subservient to others."
"What attitude should that sect take towards him next?"
After a moment's thought, the Sanyuan Hall Master said, "Our attitude remains unchanged. Even if we can't become fellow disciples, we must maintain a good relationship with such a person. The situation in the Seventh Heavens is changing rapidly, and we must not lose our composure."
"Yes, sir!"
Back in Sanyuan Market, Yang Tianyou began to take stock of his spoils.
Nine Void Refinement are incredibly wealthy, especially the Void-Shattering Master, who alone contributed 50% of these treasures.
"Around five million Supreme-Grade Spirit Stones."
The harvest was plentiful, but it could not shake Yang Tianyou's spirit.
Of these treasures, only two were worthy of his attention.
"Shadowspace Cloak" and "Jade Void Golden Codex"
The former is the most important Spirit Treasure on Void-Shattering Master's body, with as many as seventeen restrictions, making it the best among low-grade Spirit Treasures.
The biggest difference between Spirit Treasures and Law Treasures lies in two aspects: spirituality and the "restriction of heaven and earth".
The restrictions of heaven and earth were not crafted by Artifact Refining Master, but were forged little by little by heavenly lightning during the Treasure Tribulation Lightning.
It is essentially a power bestowed by heaven and earth.
The number of restrictions only increases during the Tribulation Transcendence.
The stronger one's foundation, the more restrictions will be formed after Tribulation Transcendence, and the higher their quality and power will be.
Spirit Treasures are divided into low-grade, medium-grade, high-grade, and top-grade.
Among them, low-grade Spirit Treasures are subject to eighteen restrictions.
A mid-grade Spirit Treasure, with restrictions limited to thirty-six.
There are 72 superior-grade items and 108 top-grade items.
Each additional restriction greatly enhances the power of the Spirit Treasure.
Yang Tianyou's two Life-Bound Law Treasures, after becoming Spirit Treasures, both have eighteen restrictions, making them the best among low-grade Spirit Treasures.
This Shadowspace Cloak has seventeen restrictions, which is quite impressive. The reason why Void-Shattering Master has achieved his current fame is largely due to this treasure.
"Yes, the Shadowspace Cloak's attributes are space and shadow, which is perfect for Fengling."
Yang Tianyou spoke, he casually handed the treasure to Fengling, who was overjoyed and took Ruoqing to the side to experiment with it.
With a shift in his gaze, Yang Tianyou picked up another treasure.
Jade Void Golden Codex!
This is a page of gold paper with irregular, jagged edges, as if it had been torn.
Having spent forty years in the Heavenly Mountain Great Thousand Realm, Yang Tianyou was naturally familiar with this renowned treasure.
Legend has it that tens of thousands of years ago, an Immortal Realm Heavenly Book fell from the immortal realm, recording an Unrivaled Divine Ability.
The immortals descended to the mortal realm to fight over it, and in the end, the Heavenly Book was torn apart. One part was seized by the Immortals and Gods, while the other part was scattered throughout the Heavenly Mountain Great Thousand Realm.
No one knows how many pages this Heavenly Book has, but it's definitely not few; there are at least a thousand pages.
Although the Heavenly Book was torn apart, each page was still of great value, recording different Divine Ability.
Furthermore, if you learn Divine Abilities recorded on each page, these Divine Abilities will automatically merge and sublimate, which is truly miraculous.
Some cultivators speculate that if one could collect hundreds of pages and learn all the Divine Abilities, the power of the sublimated Divine Ability abilities would not be weaker than the "Supreme Divine Abilities of the Second Heaven," and might even be enough to compete with those of the Ascending Immortal Realm.
