Chapter Thirty-Six: Sign-In Treasure, Upstart!!

Yan Ning's voice was ice-cold. The moment his words fell, in an instant, the entire world seemed shrouded by an invisible darkness.

Black Prison Venerable's pupils abruptly contracted. It felt a terrifying suppression descending from the heavens, as if the weight of the entire universe had crashed down upon it!

"This is... a Domain-type Secret Art?!"

It wasn't just space! Time, laws, Divine Power—everything was suppressed!

Its limbs felt as if they were pinned down by billions of divine mountains; even its trunk could not lift, and the flow of Divine Power within its body had become sluggish to the extreme!

"How is this possible?!"

Black Prison Venerable's heart was filled with shock.

"He's just a Sealed King Undying—how can he suppress me?!"

In the distance, the observing experts from various races also changed color.

"What kind of secret art is this?!"

"It can actually suppress a Universe Venerable?!"

"Demon Flame King... truly lives up to his reputation!"

Black Prison Venerable spoke in a low voice, its dark-golden battle armor erupting with blinding light.

"But a mere secret art thinks it can suppress This Venerable?!"

It erupted violently, Divine Power surging like a volcanic eruption, lightning dancing wildly around its body, forcibly prying open the suppression of the Black Domain!

"Boom—!!!"

Space trembled. Black Prison Venerable's massive frame slowly straightened, its eyes filled with ferocity.

"Human, your secret art is not bad... but it's not enough!"

Yan Ning watched it coldly, a chilling arc curling at the corner of his mouth.

"Is that so?"

"Then how about this?"

"Divine Power Burn—!!"

"Boom!!!"

In an instant, Yan Ning's Divine Power exploded like a stellar detonation, and the suppression of the Black Domain multiplied several times over!

Black Prison Venerable's body, which had just straightened, slammed downward, its limbs crashing to the ground, the earth instantly cracking into countless fissures!

"What?!!"

It roared in shock and fury, struggling desperately, but this time, it couldn't even lift a single trunk!

"Damn it... this madman! Wasting a million-kilometer Divine Body like this?!"

Yan Ning slowly descended, standing before Black Prison Venerable, looking down at it, his gaze as cold as a blade.

"Now, do you still think it's not enough?"

For the first time, a trace of fear surfaced in Black Prison Venerable's eyes. This guy before it was absolutely insane!

"You... you dare kill me on Redbud Island?!"

Yan Ning let out a cold laugh.

"Kill you? No, I'm not interested."

"But humiliating you... I'm more than happy to."

With those words, he lifted his foot, slowly placed it on Black Prison Venerable's head, and pressed down hard!

"Boom!!!"

Black Prison Venerable's head was slammed deep into the ground.

Complete silence fell over the scene!

All the observing experts stared wide-eyed, unable to believe what they were seeing.

"He... he actually stepped on Black Prison Venerable's head?!"

"Mad! Truly mad! Wasting so much Divine Power!"

Yan Ning withdrew his foot, coldly sweeping a glance at the disheveled Black Prison Venerable in the deep pit, and said flatly, "Next time, it won't be just a single step. I hope you never leave the range of the Five-Colored Aurora Lake."

With that, he turned and walked away, leaving only Black Prison Venerable roaring in fury from the pit.

"Demon Flame King!!!"

"I will kill you!!!"

Yan Ning didn't look back, but a cold smirk crept onto his lips.

"Plenty of people want me dead... who do you think you are?"

Black Prison Venerable desperately wanted to strike, but it dared not!

Yan Ning's Divine Body was simply too vast!

He absolutely could not kill him. If he made a move, the one who died would definitely be him!

"Damn it!"

If only he weren't bad at soul attacks.

Otherwise, he would have dragged this Demon Flame King down with him today no matter what!

He could still go back and claim the reward afterward!

Yan Ning circled the treasure ground a few times but found no treasure.

"Looks like the treasures here aren't obtained by brute force..."

He recalled the setting from the original story.

"You have to show potential or ability that matches a certain treasure's requirements to be acknowledged."

Aside from revealing his Black Hole Clone and Black Domain secret technique, he really hadn't shown off many other methods.

"Forget it, can't force it."

Yan Ning shook his head and decided to go back and cultivate first. He would try again after receiving the Beast God's inheritance. After all, the Beast God's inheritance was his main goal for this trip.

Still, before leaving, he decided to check out the tallest 108 peaks.

"Since I'm here, I might as well take a look. Who knows, maybe I can even check in?"

His form flickered, turning into a streak of black light as he flew toward the towering peaks in the distance.

The 108 main peaks, each one soaring into the clouds, exuded a heart-stopping pressure.

Yan Ning landed on one of the peaks and looked up, seeing all the other mountains at a glance.

"Ding, congratulations host, you have arrived at one of the 108 main peaks of the Ancestral God Sect's treasure ground. Check-in successful. Obtained one ordinary treasure battle saber."

The next moment, a treasure battle saber appeared in his system warehouse.

"Holy crap!"

He had actually checked in and gotten a treasure just like that.

No.

One of the 108 main peaks!

Something was off!

Could he open them all on the other peaks?

"Could it be... that every main peak can be checked in?"

A flicker of excitement shone in Yan Ning's eyes. He immediately turned into a streak of black light and flew toward the second main peak.

"Ding, congratulations host, you have arrived at the second of the 108 main peaks of the Ancestral God Sect's treasure ground. Check-in successful. Obtained one set of ordinary treasure battle armor."

The system prompt sounded again. A set of pitch-black battle armor materialized in the system warehouse. A dark luster flowed across its surface, as if it could devour any attack.

"Just as I thought!"

Yan Ning's heartbeat quickened. He immediately charged toward the third main peak!

"Ding, congratulations host, obtained one pair of ordinary treasure 'Void Boots.'"

Fourth main peak—

"Ding, congratulations host, obtained one ordinary domain-type treasure 'Dark Realm Pearl.'"

Fifth main peak—

"Ding, congratulations host, obtained one ordinary soul defense treasure 'Soul Suppression Tower.'"

Yan Ning's figure flickered wildly between the 108 main peaks. Every time he landed on a peak, the system rewarded him with a treasure!

"Hahaha! Jackpot! I really hit the jackpot this time!"

He was ecstatic inside. Even Universe Venerables were considered wealthy if they had one or two treasures, yet he had just gotten 108 in one go!

Even if they were all ordinary treasures, the sheer quantity was overwhelming!

Moreover, these treasures covered a wide variety—attack-type, defense-type, domain-type, soul-type, flight-type... almost every category of treasure was included!

Yan Ning's figure darted between the 108 main peaks like a black lightning bolt. Every single peak yielded a precious treasure upon check-in.

99th main peak—

"Ding, congratulations host, obtained one high-grade attack-type treasure 'Heaven-Rending Halberd'!"

A long halberd, dark gold in color, appeared in the system space. Law fluctuations that tore through space coiled around its blade. Just the aura it emitted made the surrounding void tremble.

"First high-grade treasure!"

A sharp gleam flashed in Yan Ning's eyes. He immediately rushed toward the next peak.

100th main peak—

"Ding, congratulations host, obtained one high-grade defense-type treasure 'Desolation-Destroying Armor'!"

101st main peak—

"Ding, congratulations host, obtained one high-grade flight-type treasure 'Sky Roc Wings'!"
