Dominating Sword Immortal - Chapter 742

Chapter 742: 742

The Wind Storm King and Iron Hand King’s storage rings didn’t have much variety, mostly carrying upper grade spirit stones, a few herbs, and precious crystals . They also had a few extremely expensive treasures, but they only occupied little corners .

Summing it all together, there were five million upper grade spirit stones, more than a hundred herbs of different kinds, five thousand upper grade artifacts and crystals combined, and the most expensive thousand supreme grade spirit stones .

Dividing evenly, Ye Chen gave Sun Tianlang one million and six hundred thousand upper grade spirit stones and three hundred and thirty supreme grade spirit stones; it was the same for Murong Qingcheng .

“To think I’ll get three hundred and thirty supreme grade spirit stones . ” A smile appeared on Sun Tianlang’s grave face . Half step Kings lay between Sea of Soul realm and Life and Death realm, and could use both upper grade spirit stones and supreme grade spirit stones . The former made their progress extremely slow, while the latter allowed them to improve rapidly . Prior to this moment, Sun Tianlang only had a total of fifty supreme grade spirit stones, and he was quite reluctant to use them for cultivation . On the other hand, a million and six hundred thousand upper grade spirit stones didn’t attract his attention much .

Sun Tianlang’s gains were not small, but were nothing compared to Ye Chen’s .

Ghost Wood King, Gopher King, and Shadow King had a total of six million upper grade spirit stones and eight hundred supreme grade spirit stones . Adding the currently gained upper grade spirit stones and supreme grade spirit stones, Ye Chen had gained a total of seven million and six hundred thousand upper grade spirit stones, and one thousand two hundred supreme grade spirit stones .

Before entering the forbidden zone, the upper grade spirit stones Ye Chen had were even more than most Half step Kings . His journey had been filled with numerous fights and kills, and thus, the wealth he’d obtained was naturally more than what normal people could imagine . Adding the current gains, his upper grade spirit stones had astonishingly crossed the mark of twenty million .

Of course, his biggest gain this time was neither the enormous amount of upper grade spirit stones, nor a thousand supreme grade spirit stones, but the pseudo extreme grade defensive artifact . Of course, at face value, he could definitely purchase one with twenty million upper grade spirit stones . However, the crux was that these artifacts had prices but not markets . Regardless of how many spirit stones one had, one couldn’t purchase them . It should be known that even ordinary Life and Death Kings didn’t have these artifacts, and had to make do with semi extreme grade ones .

East Emperor City’s Gu Clan was considered as one of the most ancient clans . Hence, it was not too surprising for them to possess pseudo extreme grade artifacts .  For Qin Liu to possess one was quite lucky, probably obtained from fifth grade or even fourth grade ruins . Without an opportunity, they were impossible to find .

Murong Qingcheng suddenly reminded, “Ye Chen, that Bronze Armor had Iron Hand King’s soul imprint . If not erased, Gu Clan might be able to track it . ”

“You’re right!”

Ye Chen faintly nodded and said to the two, “Guard the surroundings for a moment . The Iron Hand King was a Half step King, and his soul had gradually changed . Erasing his soul imprint won’t be easy . ”

Ye Chen’s soul was rather unique, five times as powerful as that of same grade Sea of Soul realm Masters . It was above Half step King’s in quality, and was comparable to Life and Death Kings . However, half step Kings would have formed soul membrane, and he didn’t . Ye Chen guessed that the soul membrane was a unique result born in the later stages of soul . Without reaching a certain realm, this change wouldn’t occur .

To erase Iron Hand King’s imprint, he would have to employ various tricks .

“Rest assured, leave it to us!”

Sun Tianlang put the large number of spirit stones away with a grave face . If Iron Hand King’s soul imprint couldn’t be erased, this armor would be nothing but a hot potato which could bring them a calamity at any moment . After all, once they left the graveyard of the Four Extreme Emperor, Gu Clan’s kings would certainly rush over .

Taking out the Bronze Armor, Ye Chen sucked in a deep breath and violently invaded the armor with his soul power, seeking the whereabouts of the Iron Hand King’s soul imprint .

Generally speaking, the core of the artifact’s formation was generally the optimal position to brand the soul imprint . The other places were not impossible, but doing so would reduce the ease of artifact’s control, and it would feel somewhat sluggish .

As Ye Chen had expected, the soul imprint was at the core of armor’s formation .

Confronting the invasion of Ye Chen’s soul power, the soul imprint fiercely struggled, even drawing the armor’s own powers to resist .

“Scatter!”

How powerful was Ye Chen’s soul power? It could even compare to ordinary Life and Death Kings . The soul power quaked, and the armor’s power that the soul imprint had just drawn scattered immediately . Moreover, receiving this quake, the soul imprint itself began to waver .

“Refine!”

Seizing the opportunity, Ye Chen’s soul power poured in, charging to the core of armor’s formation and assaulting soul imprint .

If Ye Chen’s soul had been ordinary, he would have not been able to do anything to the soul imprint in the short term . To successfully erase it, he would have to spend at least a month . However, Ye Chen was a genius of the soul . His soul power’s quantity and quality far surpassed Iron Hand King’s, not to mention, his opponent was merely a left behind soul imprint .

After a few minutes, the soul imprint dimmed, and the soul power within began to evaporate strand by strand .

Ah!

Although the soul imprint didn’t have consciousness, it had the most basic instincts . The moment it was about to be erased, it let out a soul cry and evaporated .

Getting rid of Iron Hand King’s soul imprint, Ye Chen easily branded his own soul imprint at the core of armor’s formation . And his soul imprint was much stronger than Iron Hand King’s, even a Half step King would have to spend several days to get rid of it .

Successfully implanting his soul imprint, Ye Chen immediately poured his Zhen Yuan . The armor immediately lit up with an ancient glow, and bronze runes bobbed up and down within this glow .

“Success?” Sun Tianlang and Murong Qingcheng looked over .

“Yeah . ” Ye Chen nodded .

Sun Tianlang astoundedly glanced at Ye Chen . He thought that the latter would at least take two hours to wipe Iron Hand King’s imprint off . And this was merely because Ye Chen was extraordinary . If it had been someone else, they wouldn’t even dare imagine succeeding before a month .

“Someone is coming!”

Murong Qingcheng had her innate demonic eyes opened . Everything within three thousand meters was within her eyes .

Ye Chen put the armor away, not wearing it, “Who is it?”

“It’s the Thunder Spirit King!” Murong Qingcheng said to with creased brows .

“Thunder Spirit King? We better leave first . ” Ye Chen waved the Thunder Disaster Sword, turning the corpses of Storm King and Iron Hand King into nothingness . His body flickered and shot toward a tunnel at the open land’s edge along with Murong Qingcheng and Sun Tianlang .

The Thunder Spirit King was one of the strongest Half step kings, invincible under the Life and Death realm . Ye Chen didn’t wish to come across him . After all, who knew if he had some relationship with the Wind Storm King or Iron Hand King .

As Ye Chen and company left, Thunder Spirit King’s figure appeared in the void .

“Eh? A huge battle happened here?”

Thunder Spirit King swept his gaze . The sword scars on the ground and the holes in the wall, nothing remained hidden from him . An astonishing battle had happened here, and strength of both sides was quite high . Therein were traces of destruction that only a peak Half step King could bring about .

“Interesting!”

Among the people that had entered the graveyard, there was only one other peak Half step King—the Punishment King . Although the Wind Storm King’s strength was approaching Punishment King’s, there was still some difference, and he could barely be considered a peak Half step King .

“Apart from Void Shattering Finger, only White Sheep King and Sky Scorpio King impart space profound martial skills among the four Fiend Kings . Hope there are some gains in White Sheep King’s graveyard next . ” The Thunder Spirit King’s target was only the space profound martial skills . Other things had no relationship with him at all .

…

Outside the graveyard of Gray Wolf King, people rushed over every now and then—some from conveyor gates while some from tunnels . The number of people kept increasing . One day it was fifty to sixty, and the next day, it increased to seventy-eighty .

“Everybody says that the nearer you get to the graveyard, the greater is the danger . Then, how come we didn’t encounter any danger all the way?”

“Perhaps they are only rumors to scare people off?”

“I don’t think so . I’m afraid there is something shady going on . ”

“What could it be? Gray Wolf King graveyard’s entrance is already open, so we can head right in . ”

Swish Swish Swish!

Like a locust, numerous Half step Kings and peak Sea of Soul Masters rushed inside the graveyard .

Shua!

After a moment, a flickering green light beam streaked in .

Nearing the graveyard, the light beam revealed its true body . It was an aged and extremely haggard white-haired old man .

The white-haired old man’s aura was heterogeneous—both auras of tree-like vitality as well as gloomy deathly aura tangled with each other, seeming bizarre .

“My lifespan is about to be over . If there are no gains here, I’m afraid my death is not far . ” The old man sized up the Gray Wolf King’s graveyard for a moment, then entered with a flicker .

…

In the graveyard of Fire Bird King, four inhuman silhouettes were flickering across . If Ye Chen’s group saw these four silhouettes, they would certainly feel their blood go cold . They were none other than Shadow Ghost Bat King, Undying Swamp King, and the two Predators .

After Ye Chen and company had entered the graveyard, these four sinister creatures had hunted sufficient Half step kings, and were intending to enter the graveyard and try their luck . They didn’t wish to guard outside the graveyard for their entire life . They yearned for the world outside .

And precisely because they headed in, the people that came later didn’t face any danger .

“Humph, my strength has recovered to its peak . There is nobody capable of killing me anymore . ” Shadow Ghost Bat King seemed in high spirits . His strength was above the other three, and he was also the leader of their group . He was more than capable of obtaining many treasures in the graveyard, then leave the forbidden zone with the help of others .

If he had the chance, he might even claim the position of Demon King .
