" Junbao, according to the records, there should be 318 treasures in the entire vault. Now, all the others have been collected, and only the last two on the top floor remain."

Babata was in an extremely good mood. Although these treasures all belonged to Zhang Junbao, they had all been collected through his hands. Even just counting the money made him very happy.

"Now, let's see what the most precious treasures of this God Kingdom's master are! These two items are not even recorded in the database; only the master of the God Kingdom knows about them."

Under Babata's control, the topmost protective shield slowly opened, and the most important treasure of this shattered God Kingdom was about to appear.

"No? How could there be no more!"

Full of anticipation, Babata saw the empty interior of the protective shield and immediately screamed wildly.

The greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment. According to the data, the value of these two treasures accounts for more than 70% of the total value of the treasures in the entire vault.

In other words, the hundreds of treasures they had previously collected amounted to less than three-tenths of the shattered God Kingdom's wealth.

But now, the most precious treasure has vanished without a trace, driving Babata mad.

" Babata, calm down!"

"Our gains are already substantial enough. The current harvest alone is enough to drive countless powerful individuals mad," Zhang Junbao said calmly.

Although he also longed for the final treasure, Zhang Junbao understood the importance of contentment. The vast majority of Universe Adventurer perished because they were too greedy.

Sufficient incentives can make people forget all their fears and composure, recklessly testing the limits on the edge of a precipice.

Seeing the treasure disappear, Zhang Junbao also felt regret, but he quickly calmed down and even broke out in a cold sweat.

The reason is simple: faced with such immense wealth, even he had momentarily lost his guard, which is extremely fatal in a space adventure.

Fortunately, no one else discovered this place.

Zhang Junbao's voice finally calmed Babata down, but it was clear that its emotions had been greatly affected.

" Junbao, those were two of the most valuable treasures! They're just gone like that. Don't you think it's a pity?" Babata said anxiously.

Zhang Junbao frowned slightly. Although Babata had experienced thousands of epochs of cosmic adventures, in terms of mental state, he was still far behind the rest of them. Even Luo Feng, whose mental cultivation was the lowest, was much stronger than Babata's.

"It's a pity, but it's not worth risking my life for."

"Never let yourself lose control of your emotions, otherwise you will misjudge the facts," Zhang Junbao said calmly.

"Think about it, if the owner of this place was killed, it's quite possible he took these treasures to defend against the enemy. Who would hide their best treasures away all the time?"

Moreover, if the place were suddenly attacked, he might not have had time to properly store all the treasures.

"That makes sense." Babata, having recovered his composure, nodded and said.

"When I came in, I noticed that the entire palace looked like it had been the site of a violent explosion. If we follow the traces of the explosion, we might be able to find the battlefield from back then."

"That's right, let's go then. I just found a storage ring here with a huge capacity. My old one wasn't enough, but now it's perfect. I can store the entire treasure trove myself," Zhang Junbao said.

Among the previous treasures was a storage ring with a storage space even larger than the storage bracelet where Babata was located, but unfortunately it was empty.

Zhang Junbao didn't stand on ceremony and used it directly. His original storage ring was given to him by Babata, and it wasn't very big.

Since the storage ring was unclaimed, Zhang Junbao could simply imprint his own Soul Imprint on it. This convinced him that the master of this God Kingdom had long since perished, otherwise even the storage ring wouldn't be without Soul Imprint.

He happily put away the entire treasure vault, and seeing that the Cloud-Touching Vine was still evolving, Zhang Junbao went alone to the center of the explosion.

" Moyun, just stay here and absorb the Life Fruit. Come find me when you're done evolving."

Since the Cloud-Touching Vine is a plant life form that recognizes Zhang Junbao as its master, you can know its location within a certain range.

" Junbao, have you noticed something strange? This treasure was discovered inside the palace. If this place was attacked from the outside by the enemy, the exterior of the palace should have been destroyed, but it doesn't seem to have," Babata reminded him.

"That's right, which proves that the enemy clashed with the master of this place inside the palace and killed him."

But it's strange, since he was able to kill the owner of this place, why didn't he take the treasure vault with him? Nothing here looks like it's been looted."

Zhang Junbao was puzzled. After Hu Yanbo, the Master of Yunmo Star, was killed, the entire Yunmo Star was blown to pieces. But this place was so intact, it didn't seem like a revenge killing.

Following the traces of the explosion, Zhang Junbao arrived at the very center of the palace, where a grand hall stood before him. Even after millions of years of erosion, one could still vaguely discern its former splendor.

At this moment, there was no one else in the hall except for a handsome man on the throne in the center, who stared straight ahead with his eyes open.

Even though his body was lifeless, mysterious Secret Pattern School in his eyes.

"He is dead, his Soul Annihilation. Like his master, the enemy's attack penetrated his body, erasing all Soul Imprint." Babata's voice was filled with sorrow.

This manner of death reminded it of the scene when Hu Yanbo was killed.

Zhang Junbao stared at the corpse before him. This was the second time he had seen the body of Immortal Expert. Hu Yanbo was like this, and so was the powerhouse before him. Their Soul Annihilation. Even Immortal Expert, who were said to be Undying, could not escape the fate of death.

Zhang Junbao stepped forward, embraced the corpse with his arms, and bowed.

"Although I do not know your name, I have accepted your inheritance, which is a debt of gratitude. This bow is my Junbao thanking you!"

The moment Zhang Junbao bowed down, a beam of light shot out from the mysterious eyes within the corpse, enveloping Zhang Junbao.

" Junbao, how are you?" Babata asked anxiously.

Although the Immortal on the other side is dead, no one can guarantee that he doesn't have any hidden tricks up his sleeve. Now that he's seen Zhang Junbao, could it be that he wants to possess him?

A memory surged into Zhang Junbao's mind, but this memory, hovering around the Void Tower in his soul, remained motionless.

"Young adventurer, I am Forrest, the ' Divine Eye Marquis Forrest '!"

Don't worry, when you see this memory, it will prove that I have completely perished.

A clear, ethereal voice resonated within Zhang Junbao's soul.

"' Divine Eye Marquis '? He's actually Immortal at the Marquis Level!" Zhang Junbao was on high alert. What a powerhouse of this level wanted to do was something he couldn't possibly stop.

It should be noted that Hu Yanbo's strength was only barely enough to qualify him for the title of Marquis; he did not yet have a formal Marquis title.

Although the Void Tower that Zhang Junbao cultivated was the strongest Soul Defense Secret Technique possessed by Hu Yanbo, he had no confidence whatsoever that it could withstand a true Marquis Immortal.

Fortunately, ' Divine Eye Marquis ' Forrest did not have any malicious intent.

"This memory is what I left behind in the last moments of my life, hoping only to serve as a warning to future generations."

Divine Eye Marquis narrated to himself, it was just a simple memory, without any intelligence.

"I was originally Immortal from the Heavenly Spirit Empire the Ganwu Universe Country, because I was born with spiritual eyes that could see through the changes in secret patterns."

After hundreds of epochs of effort, I finally became the strongest rune master in the Heavenly Spirit Empire. The art of runes is superior to that of Treasure Refining, therefore my wealth far exceeds that of ordinary Marquis experts.

But one day, I sensed that a special fragment of a soul had invaded the God Kingdom. In order to find out the origin of this soul, I brought it here.

But little did anyone expect that this would be the origin of the disaster.

"Disaster?"

What exactly is this soul that someone who has achieved Marquis Immortal could call a calamity?

Logically, as a master of inscription, Divine Eye Marquis's soul cultivation should be extremely high. Could it be that a mere fragment of his soul could cause him such great harm?

"After this fragment of soul came into contact with my soul power, it quickly captured my soul and directly invaded it through a faint soul connection."

Countless crazy and chaotic thoughts erupted in my soul, like a virus, infecting my entire being.

My Soul Secret Technique had absolutely no effect on it; my prized defensive magic was broken in an instant.

The ideas contained within are extremely chaotic, filled with destructive murderous intent and a Destruction aura of time and space shattering.

Although I don't know exactly what this is, I'm certain that the owner of this remnant soul was an extremely powerful expert in soul manipulation and arcane arts.

In the end, to prevent this remnant soul from Destruction the entire Heavenly Spirit Empire, I had no choice but to absorb the life force of all living beings within the entire God Kingdom and unleash the most powerful secret technique to completely annihilate it here!

However, I only destroyed a wisp of a soul. During the process of merging with it, I learned that there are many more broken souls like this, and I'm afraid that many more cosmic empires will suffer from the ravages of these remnants in the future.

But my soul is about to dissipate, and there is nothing more I can do. I only hope that after you inherit my wealth and legacy, you will look after my Heavenly Spirit Empire."

In the end, Divine Eye Marquis's eyes shone with a resolute look. Although it was unclear why he made this choice, it was obvious that he was determined to destroy this remnant soul, even at the cost of his life.
