Encounters

Ye Muxuan rubbed his thumb against the brand-new, large silver World Ring. His eyes lowered, and in the next instant, his entire figure vanished.

Inside the World Ring, Ye Muxuan hovered in mid-air. Soon, his gaze was drawn to a crystal sphere about ten meters in diameter, lying beside the corpse of the Sky Wolf Race World Lord that had been split in two. The ancient, immense aura emanating from it made even Ye Muxuan tremble.

Ye Muxuan descended, landing beside the sphere. He stared at it intently, examining it closely, his brow furrowed in confusion.

Having fought on the Outer Battlefield for over a hundred thousand years, enduring hundreds, if not thousands, of life-and-death struggles, his knowledge and experience were by no means shallow. Yet, neither in his own experience nor in his studies had he ever heard of such an object; he had not even seen anything like it in the internal treasury of the Military System.

However, this profound and immense aura was undoubtedly that of a treasure!

After pondering for a long time, a scene suddenly flashed through Ye Muxuan's mind: the final battle, the unwillingness of the Sky Wolf Race World Lord before its death, and that strange soul attack.

Compared to the Human Race, the life gene multipliers of powerful individuals within the Monster Race who reached the World Lord stage were generally not low. Most had a multiplier of two or three, while members of the Eighteen Royal Clans of the Monster Race could typically reach five, six, or even ten times. Therefore, it wasn't that there were no powerful individuals in the Monster Race who followed the path of a Spirit Reader, but they were certainly few; most followed the path of a Fighter.

After all, whether a Spirit Reader was a Controller or an Illusionist, they placed greater emphasis on the amplitude of their spiritual force.

As one of the Eighteen Royal Clans of the Monster Race, the Sky Wolf Race possessed a natural base multiplier of six and were outstanding practitioners of the Fighter path.

The confusion in Ye Muxuan's eyes quietly faded, replaced by a flicker of shock.

Muxuan might not have understood due to his limited experience, but Ye Muxuan had a guess. If it were true, this sphere would be his greatest gain in over a hundred thousand years on the Outer Battlefield—a massive stroke of luck that would be hard to come by even if he fought for another million years.

Ye Muxuan's fingertips touched the sphere, and World Force wrapped around it. The sphere transformed into a stream of light, shooting straight into the center of his brow and merging with his body.

Ye Muxuan sat cross-legged within the World Ring. At the center of his brow, where there were originally three vertical secret patterns resembling an eye, a tiny point of light appeared, and then, it vanished.

A vast and profound aura emerged from Ye Muxuan's body without any concealment, directly overpowering his World Lord aura. An aura surpassing that of an ordinary Immortal suddenly permeated this space.

It was as if a Marquis Rank Immortal were standing there!

A long time later, Ye Muxuan, who had been sitting there, opened his eyes. Within them lay irrepressible excitement and wild joy!

A soul-type heavy treasure! Two layers of secret patterns! This was a top-tier heavy treasure!

As far as Ye Muxuan knew, heavy treasures were divided into three types. Ordinary heavy treasures had only one layer of secret patterns, while those with two layers were top-tier heavy treasures! As for the third type, those were set-style heavy treasures with immense power!

If there was any shortcoming, it was likely that the greatest power of this top-tier soul-type heavy treasure was essentially focused on guarding the soul! As for functions like soul attacks or illusion attacks, one couldn't say they didn't exist, but they possessed almost no power!

This was also why the soul attack launched by that Sky Wolf Race World Lord in the final battle had failed to destroy Muxuan's soul!

One had to know that if a World Lord possessed a heavy treasure and could successfully trigger the first layer of secret patterns, they could basically sweep through all powerful individuals below the Marquis Rank Immortal level!

However, if this were truly a heavy treasure capable of soul attacks, the Sky Wolf Race World Lord likely wouldn't have been granted it by its elders!

That's right. With Ye Muxuan's experience, he naturally knew that such a treasure could never have been obtained by that Sky Wolf Race World Lord through its own ability alone! Unless it had been obtained as spoils of war from killing an enemy just like he had, the only other way was to be bestowed it by an elder!

A top-tier heavy treasure was something that even Universe Venerables—those super-powerful beings who swept across the starry universe—would covet, let alone Immortals. If it were exposed, he wouldn't be surprised if even a Venerable were to take action against him in secret!

Therefore, he must keep it a secret!

Until he possessed at least the strength of a Peak King Level or even a Limit King Level, he absolutely could not expose the fact that he possessed a heavy treasure, let alone a soul-type one!

Even if it were only a heavy treasure for guarding the soul with no other functions!

Having unexpectedly gained a heavy treasure, and a soul-type one at that, Ye Muxuan was in a great mood, and even the corpse of the Sky Wolf Race World Lord looked much more pleasing to his eyes!

As for the remaining items, with a heavy treasure in hand, Ye Muxuan didn't pay much attention to them. He merely glanced at the dark red World Ring left behind by the Sky Wolf Race World Lord, and then his World Force surged forth. Since the Sky Wolf Race World Lord was already dead, Ye Muxuan easily opened the World Ring.

Inside, Ye Muxuan hovered above a world, looking down at the dense, massive pile of items below.

This was a medium-sized World Ring. Although it wasn't very large, in terms of the material used to forge it, even the best World Ring in Ye Muxuan's possession couldn't compare. By his estimation, even if those King Level Immortal powerhouses didn't intentionally attack the ring, it wouldn't shatter. A World Ring of this grade was worth tens of millions of Military Merit or hundreds of Hunyuan Units in the Military System's internal treasury!

But with a heavy treasure already in his possession, Ye Muxuan no longer cared for these spoils. He simply had Nine Phoenix leave a few intelligent robots behind to organize and count them, while he himself left this world!

Inside the spaceship's quiet room, Ye Muxuan appeared out of thin air. He gripped the dark red World Ring and refined it; after all, this ring was better than the one he was using and was definitely configured for an Immortal powerhouse.

Sitting quietly in the room, he calmed his mind. Three days later, Ye Muxuan opened his eyes, the wild joy in them finally suppressed.

Inside the World Ring, the intelligent robots had roughly tallied all the items. Preliminary estimates placed the total value of the spoils at nearly three million Hunyuan Units.

This was definitely higher than the net worth of an average Immortal, and even at the peak of his previous life, Ye Muxuan would have been slightly inferior.

But now it all belonged to him, and with a heavy treasure already in his possession, Ye Muxuan felt no ripples in his heart when facing these spoils worth nearly three million Hunyuan Units.

After all, a heavy treasure, even the lowest grade, was worth over ten trillion Hunyuan Units! And that was a price without a market!

As for this type of top-tier heavy treasure capable of guarding the soul, in the hands of some Venerables, it could be exchanged for an ordinary Supreme Treasure!

Throughout these dozens of dream-like reincarnations, Ye Muxuan knew very well what kind of strength he possessed, and he knew even better what kind of power an Immortal had to pluck stars and grasp the moon; to them, stars were merely toys! And a Venerable was someone who could completely overturn space and disrupt time! If such an existence were to ask to trade with you politely, that would be considered having a conscience!

Once again firming his resolve that he must never expose his possession of a heavy treasure until his strength was sufficient, Ye Muxuan suppressed the thought and began to contemplate this soul-type heavy treasure!
