Just as Zhe Yan and Jin Jing, the duo of Daoist partners, were hunting the Dragon Serpent, Zhao Sheng was excavating the chill “Crystal” inside the ice cave.
Boom! Boom!
Chunks of ice and rubble were continuously flipped out, and it took Zhao Sheng the time of one cup of tea to dig out a big hole dozens of feet deep.
At that moment inside the pit, a Crystal Peak stood towering, radiating chilling Spiritual Energy, its body pure and flawless.
And in the deepest part of this Crystal Peak, a small, irregular “crystal substance” faintly revealed itself, no bigger than a thumb. At this moment, the surface of the crystal substance was rippling with waves of cold light.
“It is indeed the Nether God Pearl!”
Zhao Sheng took two steps back, his face showing a trace of joy as he looked at the “crystal substance” in front of him.
The Nether God Pearl was extremely yin and cold in property, on the same level as the Golden Crow True Fire among Heaven and Earth Spiritual Objects, but it wasn’t one of the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures produced in the Mingye Realm, it came from the Outer Realm Divine Ruins.
The so-called Outer Realm Divine Ruins were a vast expanse of ruins drifting in the Void near the Netherworld and the Mingye Realm, spanning billions of miles, and the area was dozens of times larger than both realms combined.
“No wonder the Cold Desolate Flood Dragon made its nest here, there was such a treasure hidden underneath.”
After feeling elated, Zhao Sheng didn’t immediately take the Nether God Pearl.
Such a high-grade Treasure Land formed by the natural creation of Heaven and Earth would be nothing short of wasteful destruction if he only took the pearl and destroyed it.
Naturally, Zhao Sheng wouldn’t be so shortsighted.
He refilled the pit with soil and ice chunks, then carefully camouflaged it before leaving the area with satisfaction, flying towards the sea surface.
Just as Zhao Sheng had just emerged from the water, two figures suddenly appeared, one to his left and one to his right.
Zhe Yan, in his red armored robe, looked sneaky as he raised his hand to bring forth the Red Flame Treasure Banner. The banner fluttered, and it suddenly shot out a host of Fierce Flame Lions with four claws that tread on fire and wrapped in flames, pouncing towards Zhao Sheng.
The other, Jin Jing held a Jade Spirit Branch, about the length of a ruler and entirely made of jade, which she gently shook, causing a sky-full of jade light to spread out, blocking Zhao Sheng’s escape routes in every direction.
“Die!”
Following their extremely fierce shout, the Fierce Flame Lions and jade lights, coupled with their terrifying intent to kill, swept towards Zhao Sheng in an instant.
With a thunderous boom, the seawater exploded and rolled back, the hundred-foot sea surface instantly sunk down fifty to sixty feet as if emptied of water, causing massive waves to surge around, and countless water columns splashed high into the air.
The big hole was now completely empty!
Zhao Sheng, who had just emerged from the water, seemed not yet clear about what had happened when he was blown to bits.
Zhe Yan and Jin Jing first felt joy, but then their expressions drastically changed.
Sizzle!
Before them, a streak of light and shadow suddenly flickered.
The next second, a seemingly expressionless Zhao Sheng suddenly appeared out of nowhere, standing across from them with his arms folded.
The two immediately realized that their carefully planned ambush had gone awry.
Zhao Sheng asked coldly, without expression, “Zhao has always treated the two of you fairly. Why do you seek to kill me? If you do not give me an explanation today, you two will leave your lives here!”
Ha-ha!
Zhe Yan laughed maniacally and said fiercely, “It’s true you haven’t wronged us. But… it’s all because you’re rich beyond measure, and you’ve disturbed the balance of power in the Candle Light Mountain Range. How can my sect smoothly manipulate the situation if you’re not dead?” Zhe Yan’s demeanor changed from his usual humility to one of arrogance.
Zhao Sheng’s brows twitched with an odd look as he asked, “You’re from the Netherworld God Sect?!”
The Netherworld God Sect was the largest religion across the Pan Nine Demon Continent with billions of followers, encompassing the vast majority of races with countless experts in its ranks, and it was rumored that in the Main God Temple there were real Divine Spirits.
Zhao Sheng didn’t believe it at all.
To him, these so-called Divine Spirits were probably Divine Transformation True Monarchs or other high-level divine creatures.
“You’re smart. Yes, we are the Judgement Priests of the Netherworld God Sect, here specifically for you.” Zhe Yan sneered coldly, and after speaking, the Treasure Banner in his hand suddenly shone brightly, conjuring illusions of Fierce Flame Lions.
Even so, Zhe Yan seemed to still have some wariness towards Zhao Sheng and did not immediately launch his attack.
“If the two of you truly have the confidence to kill me here, why waste so much breath?” Zhao Sheng still kept his composure, trying to draw out more words.
“Hmph, you probably don’t know that the Fire Saber Tribe is now under siege from all sides,” Zhe Yan did not answer directly but changed the subject instead.
“Hmph, as soon as I make my appearance upon my return, all crises will be easily resolved. And with Dao Bailiang, a Golden Core in his own right, overseeing, supporting the Fire Saber Tribe for ten days to half a month is as easy as flipping one’s hand.
However, I’m afraid you won’t see tomorrow.” After Zhao Sheng finished speaking, a blaze of light flickered all over his body, and he disappeared from in front of the two in an instant, as fast as if he had teleported.
“You—Plop!”
Before the word “heart” could leave his lips, Zhe Yan suddenly spouted a great deal of blood from his mouth, his protective layers outside his body shattered in an instant, and his body was violently knocked away, spurting blood wildly, with a big hole pierced through his chest from front to back.
On the side, Jin Jing’s expression suddenly showed disbelief, but a look of utmost horror quickly appeared on her face.
Because a devil-like face had appeared abruptly in front of her.
Jin Jing’s heart trembled fiercely, and she turned the Jade Spirit Branch in her hand into a streak of jade light, stabbing towards Zhao Sheng’s chest like lightning.
Zhao Sheng smiled and clenched his fist. With a punch to the chest, a roaring sound emerged as his fist, wrapped in a gust of golden light, surged out.
