Chapter 985: Competing for the Magical Treasure (Third Update!)
"Boss, I want that thing!"
Sun Wukong originally didn't think much of the treasures on the sixth level. The reason he lingered there was because Tian Lin, who had been dormant within him, sent him a message to choose something that looked like a horn.
"Tian Lin, are you talking about this?"
Sun Wukong walked up to the horn-shaped magical treasure. Under the Void-Breaking Moon Eyes, the treasure emitted a light barely reaching the Heavenly Artifact Level, and even then, it was on the lower end. Sun Wukong didn't value it at all. He didn't understand why Tian Lin would be interested in such a thing. Could there be some hidden mystery?
"Boss, this thing is made from the horn of an ancestor of the Qilin Clan. I feel a trace of my ancestor's spirit soul within it. It will be very useful to me!"
Tian Lin spoke eagerly, with a voice full of sincerity.
"A spirit soul from the Qilin Clan ancestor's horn? Are you sure?"
A hint of surprise flashed in Sun Wukong's eyes. This meant the material of this magical treasure was excellent, so why was its final grade so lacking?
In the first five levels, Sun Wukong had already seen Immortal Artifacts. This horn-shaped Heavenly Artifact seemed very ordinary to him. Could it be that the person who refined it had poor alchemy skills and failed to fully utilize the good materials?
"I'm certain! This is indeed made from the horn of my Qilin Clan ancestor! I need to fuse and refine the spirit soul inside. It will greatly enhance my strength!"
Tian Lin spoke with extreme certainty.
"Then why don't you come out and take it yourself? Why do you need me, Old Sun, to help you?"
Everyone in the Heavenly Emperor's Treasure Vault could only take three treasures. If Tian Lin wanted the horn-shaped treasure, why not come out and take it himself?
"Boss, if I could come out, I would have done so long ago!"
Tian Lin's voice carried a bitter smile, "There's a strange force in the Heavenly Emperor's Treasure Vault suppressing me so that I can't get out! And not just me, Brother Dragon Cat and the others are the same!"
"Is that so?"
Sun Wukong frowned. Was there a force in the Heavenly Emperor's Treasure Vault suppressing the appearance of contracted divine beasts?
Perhaps, but Sun Wukong himself couldn't feel it.
"Alright, I'll help you take this treasure!"
Since Tian Lin had said so, Sun Wukong had no reason to refuse. He reached out towards the horn-shaped treasure in the light cluster.
"Hmm?"
Generally, acquiring a treasure wasn't difficult. Simply reach into the circle of light holding the treasure, use the Primordial Force within to nullify the attraction of the light circle, and pull the treasure out. However, Sun Wukong felt another force competing for the horn-shaped treasure. This force came from a parallel overlapping space.
Someone else also had an eye on this horn-shaped treasure!
"Sorry, but no matter who it is, since this treasure was spotted by Old Sun, I won't let it go!"
Being in different parallel overlapping spaces, Sun Wukong had no idea who was competing with him. At this moment, he had no intention to yield. With a cold snort, he fully wielded the Chaos Primordial Force within him to pull the horn-shaped treasure into his own parallel overlapping space.
In another parallel overlapping space, a look of surprise appeared on the face of the Heavenly Prince. This horn-shaped treasure was the first item he fancied among so many treasures!
The records of the Undying Heavenly Demon Clan mentioned that the Ancient Heavenly Court once had a great battle with the Qilin Clan ancestors, ending with both sides withdrawing without a victor. But an ancestor of the Qilin Clan went against advice and infiltrated the Ancient Heavenly Court, intending to use his unique ability to sever the Spirit Vein of the Ancient Heavenly Court.
However, the idea underestimated the Ancient Heavenly Court!
At the time, the Ancient Heavenly Court had many powerful beings. One of them discovered the descendant of the Qilin Clan, forcing him to reveal himself in a hard-fought battle. Although he barely escaped, a horn and a wisp of spirit soul were left behind at the Ancient Heavenly Court, and made into a horn-shaped treasure.
The Heavenly Prince thought this horn-shaped treasure should be the one mentioned in the clan's records!
Any treasure that could be recorded in the annals of the Undying Heavenly Demon Clan would not be a mundane grade item. Although the records didn't clearly state the use of the horn-shaped treasure, they rated it as a "peerless treasure"!
Anything worthy of being called a "peerless treasure" definitely has value, and even if its use isn't apparent now, taking it might prove useful someday.
So after recognizing the horn-shaped treasure, the Heavenly Prince began trying to acquire it without hesitation, only to discover there was another force pulling the horn-shaped treasure!
Someone else had also set their sights on this horn-shaped treasure and was competing with him!
"Dare someone challenge what the Prince covets? Let's see who can take it!"
The Heavenly Prince's face turned stormy. He no longer just attempted to pull the horn-shaped treasure out of the light mass but injected destructive demonic Primordial Force into it.
He wanted to use this horn-shaped treasure to launch an attack on the competitor!
"Hmm?"
While acquiring the horn-shaped treasure, Sun Wukong sensed something wrong. Someone was not only contesting for the horn-shaped treasure but also attacking him!
A frigid demonic Primordial Force, carrying a destructive power, surged from the horn-shaped treasure, heading towards him ferociously, seemingly wanting to snatch the horn-shaped treasure and injure him!
"It's definitely not Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor and the others!"
Sun Wukong immediately determined. Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor's group didn't possess such aggressive power, and their energy didn't have such attributes. "It's the Heavenly Prince of the Undying Heavenly Demon Clan!"
Among all the powerful beings in the Heavenly Emperor's Treasure Vault, the only one whose energy matched this frigid demonic Primordial Force was the Heavenly Prince of the Undying Heavenly Demon Clan!
The demonic Primordial Force of Yuan Bing, the Ice Prince, also had a chilly attribute, but it didn't have this eerie feeling. Sun Wukong had clashed with the Heavenly Prince before in a fierce battle and was aware of the attributes of the Heavenly Prince's demonic Primordial Force.
No mistake; it's absolutely the Heavenly Prince!
"Heh, trying to snatch a treasure from Old Sun and even trying to injure? I'll teach you a lesson!"
Sun Wukong chuckled coldly. A shock of Chaos Primordial Force within dispersed the cold, demonic Primordial Force that had been inhaled. Next moment, thick Chaos Primordial Force accompanied by a hint of Chaos Fire vigorously infused into the horn-shaped treasure.
The time for a counterattack had come!
Heavenly Prince, taste this great gift from Old Sun!
