Chapter 648: Chapter 335 Divine Artifact and Secret Treasure_2
 

“The third trial,” Li Yuan looked toward the distant arena.

Suddenly——

A massive amount of purple liquid emerged from the ground, which rapidly ascended and finally condensed into the form of a burly purple-armored warrior. Standing approximately thirty feet tall, he resembled a War God, radiating a robust aura, holding a colossal Combat Saber in his hand.

“Just a few months passed and you are back?” The purple-armored warrior stared at Li Yuan with a cold and intelligent gaze.

“I naturally had to come.”

Li Yuan revealed a smile, “Big guy, actually, I have been confident in defeating you for a while, but I’ve been waiting until now. Do you know why?”

“Hmph! I don’t care why,” the purple-armored warrior replied icily, “It seems you are very confident, I hope your strength justifies your arrogance.”

“Otherwise, your end won’t be any better than last time.”

Boom! The purple-armored warrior immediately made his move, his speed escalating to a terrifying level as he charged towards Li Yuan like lightning.

Ten kilometers?

For a Semi-Divine Rank expert, this distance was too brief, merely requiring a blink or two to close in.

“Nice timing,” Li Yuan smiled and thought.

Boom!

Centered around Li Yuan, an invisible soul fluctuation burst forth instantaneously, silently invading the purple-armored warrior’s mind, attempting to influence his consciousness.

Soul Secret Technique—”Mind Soul”!

“Hmph!”

“Soul Secret Technique, you used it last time, and it didn’t affect me, and now again… hmm?” The purple-armored warrior shouted angrily, but a hint of confusion flashed through his eyes.

He was trapped!

Little did he know, when they fought the last time Li Yuan had just made a breakthrough, but months passed, and Li Yuan not only advanced his Star Technique to its current limit… but also enhanced two Soul Secret Techniques to become even more formidable.

After all, breaking through realms and enhanced comprehension of Heaven and Earth had taken Li Yuan’s soul studies to the next level.

Now, Li Yuan’s Soul Secret Technique could still not affect a Semi-Divine Peak expert.

But for a purple-armored warrior who was merely at the Semi-Divine Initial Rank, it could still cause some disturbance.

“Wake up!”

“Wake up!” The purple-armored warrior roared in his heart, realizing he had been tricked, his inner fury screaming as he almost instantly regained clarity.

But the next moment!

The expression on the purple-armored warrior’s face changed, because what met him head-on was an immensely large fist.

“Boom!”

That punch, containing terrifying might, brutally smashed onto his head, nearly knocking him senseless and causing him to stagger, nearly kneeling.

“Damn it!” The purple-armored warrior bellowed, surprise and anger surging in his heart as he was about to desperately retreat.

“Smack~”

Another slap harshly landed, sending him flying backward, the terrifying impact within the slap causing the purple-armored warrior’s body to seethe, his energy crazily draining.

He, known as having an Undying Body, yet the damages exerted would insanely drain his internal energy.

Drained energy meant his defeat.

“How could his strength have improved so much?” the purple-armored warrior exclaimed in shock and anger, “It’s only been a short time?”

Last time they fought, he had an absolute advantage.

“Slash!”

Just as the purple-armored warrior was about to swing his Combat Saber at Li Yuan, he saw Li Yuan dodge the blow in a flash, then another slap harshly landed on the purple-armored warrior’s face.

Too painful!

Too fast!

The purple-armored warrior couldn’t dodge Li Yuan’s slaps.

“Retreat.” The purple-armored warrior was about to retreat.

“Heaven and Earth River, Bind!” Li Yuan thought, finally unleashing the Domain Star Technique he had perfected to level 24, the first time he had ever used this technique.

Rumble rumble~

From within Li Yuan, an earthy yellow aura burst forth from nothing, majestic like a river, containing immensely terrifying might as it surged in all directions, quickly entwining and binding the purple-armored warrior, causing his speed to sharply decrease.

“What a strong bind, it’s a Domain Secret Technique.” The purple-armored warrior’s expression changed again.

Whoosh!

Inside the Domain, Li Yuan moved with incredible ease and ferocity.

Smack smack smack smack! Li Yuan fully unleashed, slap after slap crazily coming down, the purple-armored warrior, bound by the Domain, couldn’t even dodge.

He wanted to resist, but affected by the Soul Secret Technique, he occasionally lost focus.

He was simply powerless to resist.

Just like that.

Under Li Yuan’s barrage of fists and slaps, after attacking more than fifty times, he finally depleted the energy of the Purple-Armored Warrior… At last, he transformed into a purple light and dissipated.

Victory!

“Haha, exhilarating! Exhilarating!” Li Yuan laughed loudly, “Take that for your arrogance last time, slapping me.”

Whoosh!

A figure in white appeared out of nowhere, somewhat helplessly saying, “Little brother, have you not come to challenge for so long just to advance your strength further to slap him a few more times?”

“Exactly,” Li Yuan agreed naturally, smiling, “If I had just cultivated the All Things Divine Body, I could have beaten him too, but I wouldn’t have been this at ease… but now with my realm further advanced, even without using a weapon, I can easily suppress him and beat him however I like.”

“Sister, slapping someone really does feel awesome,” Li Yuan grinned and said.

Gu You chuckled.

But she had to admit.

During these months, Li Yuan’s strength had indeed improved greatly.

Now, a Level 40 Semi-Divine Puppet faced Li Yuan with no power to fight back.

Li Yuan killed it by slapping it with just his hands, not even using a weapon.

“Sister, having passed the third trial, I should be able to receive the third gift left by Master, right?” Li Yuan asked curiously, “What’s in the treasure?”

“Don’t worry, it won’t disappoint you,” Gu You shook her head, “Come with me.”

“Okay,” Li Yuan nodded.

…

Soon after, the two returned to the Main Hall, which was as deserted as usual.

“The third gift Father left for you comes in two types, listen carefully and decide for yourself,” the girl said to Li Yuan.

Li Yuan’s heart stirred, two gifts?

Another choice to make?

“The first gift is purely wealth, 1000 Fangshen Crystals, which you can use to buy what you need for your cultivation,” Gu You said.

1000 Fangshen Crystals? Li Yuan held his breath.

This is a fortune!

Although he knew that the treasures left by Ancient Torch Divine would be more precious,

Li Yuan hadn’t expected that just the Flying Heaven Level gift would consist of 1000 Fangshen Crystals.

Consider this, an ordinary Semi-Divine, all their wealth and treasures combined would probably amount to just a few dozen Fangshen Crystals.

“And the second gift?” Li Yuan couldn’t help asking.

“The second gift is only 100 Fangshen Crystals,” Gu You looked at Li Yuan, “I will select two Divine Artifacts that suit you based on what you need.”

“Additionally, there is a very strong Slaughter Treasure, which can kill 99% under the Divine level, even Semi-Divine Limit Experts will die if they don’t have special protective treasures,” Gu You said, “The choice is yours.”

“Semi-Divine Limit Experts will die?” Li Yuan was secretly amazed, such a rare and valuable secret treasure was truly priceless.

Normal Pseudo-Gods shouldn’t be able to produce such a secret treasure.

Li Yuan wanted both gifts, but he also understood… These powerful beings raising successors wouldn’t prepare everything before they’ve grown.

Usually, they would prepare only a part, the rest would have to be fought for by the successor themselves.

If everything was given, it would be easy for people to lose their fighting spirit.

“So essentially, I would exchange 900 Fangshen Crystals for two Divine Artifacts and a secret treasure?” Li Yuan thought to himself.

A Semi-Divine Artifact’s value ranged from 0.1 to 1 Fangshen Crystal.

While a Fifth Rank Divine Artifact, most are worth between 10 and 100 Fangshen Crystals, but some extremely valuable Fifth Rank Divine Artifacts could be worth hundreds or even thousands of Fangshen Crystals.

Due to their rarity.

“No matter which Divine Artifact,” Li Yuan thought, “just that secret treasure alone is worth several hundred Fangshen Crystals.”

Fangshen Crystals can be earned in many ways.

But such a powerful secret treasure is definitely a key asset, in the Mortal Domain, it would be hard to buy even with Fangshen Crystals.

“Second option,” Li Yuan made his decision.

“Good,” Gu You had a smile, and with a wave of her hand, an ethereal blue lotus platform appeared out of thin air in the void, emitting a mysterious aura, though it was not large.

It could only accommodate one person sitting down.

“A lotus platform? This?” Li Yuan’s eyes flashed with astonishment, he couldn’t help saying, “Why do I feel like it might not be a real object?”

“You sense correctly,” Gu You smiled, “During the Flying Heaven Stage, it is the phase where you’re most vulnerable to dangers, thus, Father prepared these treasures.”

“Both the Divine Artifacts are also oriented towards preservation of life.”

“This one is called the ‘Thousand Heart Lotus Platform,’ a Pseudo-God Artifact to protect the soul.”
