The Extreme Evil Imperial Capital.
The leader of the Asura Legion was no weakling; his escape speed exceeded the speed of sound, and he rushed out of the palace grounds in just a few breaths.
However, Mingye was naturally skilled in speed, and with the spatial magic artifact that Chen Mu had created for her, she quickly caught up with her opponent and killed him on the spot.
"Alright! The rest of the underlings don't matter. Everyone, dig three feet into the ground and take away all the valuables."
" Mingye, come with me to see this treasure vault."
After occupying the Extreme Evil Imperial Palace, Chen Mu did not send anyone to hunt down the deserters. Instead, he issued an order through the communication channel, inviting Mingye to go to the treasure vault of the Extreme Evil Imperial Palace together.
Han Xiao was originally a bandit, and most of the people he brought today were also industry insiders, very skilled at robbery and looting, and their eyes were gleaming with greed.
"Chief, this treasure vault is protected by a powerful array. The Asura Legion only managed to breach the outer perimeter; the inner vault's array is very strong, and we won't be able to break through it in a short time."
Outside the treasure vault, Gao Fenghai led a group of burly men out and respectfully bowed to Chen Mu.
With Chen Mu's help, Gao Fenghai's strength has improved rapidly in the past few days, and he has now entered the Late Core Formation Realm.
He put in a lot of effort in recruiting this bandit army, and now, besides Han Xiao, he has the most power in the bandit army.
"Okay, you guys go check out other places, I'll take care of this."
While Chen Mu was lurking in the clouds, he noticed a strong array fluctuation here. Such a complex protective array could not be broken by anyone below the Saint King level. No wonder the Supreme Evil Sacred King was so confident in the safety of the palace.
However, this was no big deal for Chen Mu. Apart from the legendary divine arrays, he could find ways to break any array below the God Level.
Chen Mu stood in front of the treasure vault's gate, and with a single stroke of his hand, a 3D projection model of the treasure vault immediately appeared before him.
"Scanning the formation terrain... Scan complete!"
Array base calculation in progress... Calculation successful!
"Array core location... complete! The array structure is type B-XX, with 103 suspicious nodes... please provide further instructions."
For the sake of combat flexibility, Chen Mu moved the Iron Soul City's supercomputer to the Rune Warship. With the supercomputer providing computing power, he obtained the complete data of the treasure vault formation in less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.
"It's the Nine-Bend Soul-Bewildering Array! Haha, I never expected to witness such a wondrous array today."
Chen Mu laughed and clicked repeatedly on the 3D projection model, quickly calculating the weaknesses of the Nine-Bend Soul-Bewildering Array.
" Mingye, you have the Netherworld Pearl protecting you, this kind of Soul-Bewildering Array shouldn't be able to hurt you."
Try to see if you can break these nodes. If you encounter any problems, retreat immediately. I have plenty of ways to deal with it; you don't need to be reckless.
When Chen Mu saw Mingye arrive, he asked her to help him break the formation.
"Good!"
Without a word, Mingye immediately transformed into a sharp beam of light and rushed into the Nine-Bend Soul-Bewildering Array.
As Chen Mu predicted, the power of the Nine-Bend Soul-Bewildering Array that was about to hit Mingye was blocked by a purple light, and she quickly rushed to the vicinity of the array base and began to wreak havoc.
"Very good!"
Without Mingye's presence, Chen Mu could have broken the formation, but it would have taken him a considerable amount of time.
But things are different now. Mingye directly dismantled the Nine-Bend Soul-Bewildering Array from within the array itself. In this situation, even if the array has self-repair capabilities, it is useless and will soon be destroyed.
"I'll help you."
This Nine-Bend Soul-Bewildering Array truly lives up to its reputation as a super array capable of withstanding Saint Level attacks; despite Mingye's prolonged attempts to destroy it, it has yet to collapse.
The three Holy Kings could return at any moment, so Chen Mu didn't want to waste any time and rushed into the formation to break it.
Whoosh!
Chen Mu summoned a large number of Formation-Breaking Flag, which, according to the AI's calculations, were inserted one by one into the formation, gradually eroding the Nine-Bend Soul-Bewildering Array.
Not long after, Chen Mu finally used the Formation-Breaking Flag to form a passage connecting to the inner treasury gate. He waved to Mingye, inviting her to enter the inner treasury together.
Boom!
Chen Mu blasted open the inner vault door with a single palm strike, and he and Mingye walked in side by side.
Looking up, the inner treasury was extremely spacious, with all kinds of high-grade spirit ores piled up like mountains, radiating a dazzling light that was overwhelming.
"Haha... I've struck it rich this time."
Chen Mu laughed excitedly, leaped into the air, and began to take inventory of the supplies.
" Jasper Darksteel, Tianqing Ore Mother, Nine Extremes Cold Crystal, Spirit Rhinoceros, Vortex Essence Jade Marrow Jadeite, Thunder Qilin Gold..."
This place truly lives up to its reputation as the inner treasury of the Supreme Evil Sacred King, storing precious materials of grade six or higher. Although the super material capable of crafting holy artifacts has not yet been discovered, its sheer quantity is a major advantage.
These materials are of little use to individual cultivators, but for a talisman master like Chen Mu who can mass-produce them, their value is no less than that of a divine artifact.
"Haha, there are also spirit plants and World Crystal here."
As Chen Mu ventured deeper into the area, he discovered some precious spiritual plants stored in jade boxes, as well as a large quantity of World Crystal. He was overjoyed, his face lighting up with delight.
Although these spiritual plants are not as good as those in the temple's herb garden, several of them have reached the top grade. If Chen Mu breaks through to the Saint Level in the future, using them to make Talisman Medicine should have a stronger effect.
There are also World Crystal, which can only be absorbed by cultivators at the Creation Realm and above. They are of great help to cultivators whose inner world foundation is unstable.
Although Chen Mu and Mingye don't need to use it, the World Crystal can still be used as a universal hard currency, so it's necessary to carry some with you.
"Unfortunately, those truly precious treasures must have been taken with the Supreme Evil Sacred King. Such a vast treasure trove doesn't even contain a single sacred artifact."
Mingye followed Chen Mu around the treasure vault, and said with a hint of regret.
"It doesn't matter. Even if we obtain the sacred artifact, it will still take a long time to refine it and master it."
Rather than that, we should use the methods we're already good at.
"At worst, I promise you, once you reach the Saint Level, I'll personally help you upgrade your spatial dagger to the Saint artifact level."
Chen Mu activated his spatial wrist, collecting the more useful spiritual materials from the treasure vault, his tone light and cheerful.
If anyone else had said that, Mingye would have rolled his eyes at them. Even many ancient monsters who had reached the Domain Realm for thousands of years couldn't obtain a single Sacred Artifact as a weapon. How could someone who hadn't even reached the Saint Level dare to make such a boast?
But for Chen Mu, all of this seemed perfectly natural, as if there was nothing in this world he couldn't do.
"Okay! I've got your word in mind."
Although she already possessed the Netherworld Pearl and the small porcelain bottle, she lacked a suitable offensive weapon, so she naturally wouldn't let it go.
