Chapter 370: 370
Emerging from the three stone rooms, Ye Chen heard Zhu Gonggong’s shriek, “Return my treasure!”
A plump, pinkish figure rushed headfirst toward Ye Chen .
Seeing Zhu Gonggong about to collide into him, Ye Chen realized that while Zhu Gonggong did not appear majestic or powerful, it was still a Daemon King . Ye Chen’s physical body would not be able to withstand a direct impact from Zhu Gonggong .
“Purple Demon Armor, deploy!” Ye Chen growled softly . Instantly, purple rays glimmered and his entire body was nestled safely behind the Purple Demon Armor’s protection .
“Clang . ” Zhu Gonggong’s head slammed into the Purple Demon Armor . Huffing and puffing, it took a few steps back and lunged forward again with a big bite . “Crack . ” Its pinkish face suddenly turned green .
“My teeth!” Zhu Gonggong had bitten into the tough Purple Demon Armor, so its teeth almost broke .
If an ordinary armor was bitten by Zhu Gonggong, the armor would most probably have been shattered . However, the toughness of this Purple Demon Armor was far beyond the level of a Daemon King .
“Stupid pig, you dare to challenge my Boss!” One Buck leaped from the side and swiped a big hand at Zhu Gonggong .
“You two dare to snatch the great Zhu Gonggong’s treasure, you’re a dead meat! I, Zhu Gonggong, am a reincarnation of the Almighty . Neither heaven or earth can save you now . Heavens, send down a burst of divine lightning and strike all of them!” Zhu Gonggong called out into the sky, then quickly escaped from One Buck’s grasp .
At the moment, Ye Chen was unable to subjugate Zhu Gonggong . However, he also did not want to kill Zhu Gonggong . Hence, he could only scare it away . Ye Chen waved his right hand . There was a slight “hum” . Subsequently, three longswords appeared beside him .
Just as Ye Chen was about to wield the Ternary Sword Array, a flash of lightning suddenly descended from the sky . There was a loud rumble as the lightning struck Ye Chen’s Purple Demon Armor .
Immediately, the Purple Demon Armor emitted a bright purple glow . The seal barriers on the armor were activated one after another, isolating the lightning outside the barrier .
Soon, the lightning disappeared and did not cause any damage to Ye Chen .
“What’s going on?” Ye Chen was dumbfounded and halted his steps . He did not sense Zhu Gonggong making any Thunder-type technique movements . This flash of lightning appeared out of thin air, albeit a little weak .
Master Lion also frowned . The appearance of this lightning was a little strange . Even he did not sense any premonitions .
“Heh, heh, you’re done for . You’ve angered me, Zhu Gonggong . God of Thunder, strike down these evil mortals!” When Zhu Gonggong saw that a lightning bolt appeared and landed on Ye Chen, its face flushed red and cried out gleefully .
At this moment, another flash of lightning appeared . “Boom”, it landed on Zhu Gonggong’s body with a series of crackling noises . The crystal-white fur all over Zhu Gonggong’s body stood up straight, almost like an explosion . Zhu Gonggong looked like a hedgehog . In addition, between its fur, there were still faint crackles of electricity .
Zhu Gonggong shrieked in pain . Kicking its hoofs, it ran . A delicious aroma of grilled meat wafted from its body .
One Buck watched the scene unfold and scratched his head in confusion . He did not understand how Zhu Gonggong had managed to summon lightning to strike itself .
“Haha, stupid pig, lightning-grilled suckling pig!” One Buck rested his hands on his hips and guffawed at Zhu Gonggong .
Just then, another flash of lightning crashed down . “Boom”, it exploded on One Buck . One Buck’s entire body turned as black as charcoal while black smoke sizzled from his mouth and ears .
Following that, “boom, boom, boom”, multiple flashes of lightning came crashing down to the ground . When Zhu Gonggong and One Buck saw what was happening, their faces changed and they ran helter-skelter . Flashes of lightning landed on Ye Chen’s body, but all of them were blocked by the Purple Demon Armor .
“This place is weird . Youngling Ye Chen, quickly snatch whatever is inside the coffin and leave!” Master Lion urged .
Could it be that Ye Chen’s looting of the three stone rooms had angered the owner of the tomb? Ye Chen did not have time to think about it . He soared across the sky . With his right hand, he opened the sarcophagus . The center of the sarcophagus was empty . There was nobody . However, on the side, there were some clothes and other items . These must be personal relics of the owner of the sarcophagus .
Ye Chen did not look closely . With a wave of his right hand, he stowed everything into his armguard space .
A torrential downpour of divine lightning descended upon Ye Chen at incredible speed . “Boom, boom, boom”, they exploded on Ye Chen’s Purple Demon Armor incessantly . Electricity sparks danced in the air, but still the lightning could not penetrate Ye Chen’s Purple Demon Armor .
The Purple Demon Armor’s protection was truly powerful . Ye Chen looked at One Buck and Zhu Gonggong . They were both running away haphazardly . Each of them had been struck by more than five flashes of lightning . Fortunately, they had the physical body of a Daemon King, so even though the lightning could make them suffer, it could not kill them .
“One Buck, let’s go!” Everything in this place had been taken by Ye Chen, so he did not plan to stay any longer . With a “swish”, he rushed toward the exit .
Zhu Gonggong saw Ye Chen and One Buck leave together . It was a little further from the exit, so it did not catch up to them . Zhu Gonggong saw that wherever the lightning struck, the stone figurines, stone horses, stone chairs, and stone tables were blown up into rubble . Zhu Gonggong had been here for almost half a month, yet it had never encountered any lightning . What was happening today?
“I, Zhu Gonggong, am a reincarnation of the Almighty . Divine lightning, stop right now!” Just as Zhu Gonggong’s words fell, the lightning suddenly stopped .
For a second, no lightning struck .
Zhu Gonggong looked up . Blinking in shock, it muttered in bewilderment, “Am I truly a reincarnation of the Almighty after all?”
The lightning stopped for a moment, but above it, storm clouds seemed to be gathering .
“Goodness gracious!” Zhu Gonggong dashed toward the exit with a “swish” .
Ye Chen rushed out of the cavern . His discoveries from this cave had been extremely fruitful . He looked at One Buck . “One Buck, we’re leaving now . Do you want to say goodbye to your brothers?”
“Those disloyal guys, they escaped faster than anyone upon detecting danger . There’s no need to see them . ” One Buck looked back with a trace of nostalgia . He did not miss his brothers, but he would miss his carefree life here as the king of the mountains .
With a twitch of Ye Chen’s Astral Body, the Golden Sun Condor chirped from afar and flapped its wings, spinning to a stop beside Ye Chen .
“Fluffy Nine, this is for you . ” Ye Chen threw the Chi-shaping Spirit Pill to the Golden Sun Condor . The Golden Sun Condor immediately opened its mouth and swallowed the Chi-shaping Spirit Pill .
Besides the Chi-shaping Spirit Pill, Ye Chen also placed a Tonic Spirit Pill beside the Soul Pearl . With a “whoosh”, the Soul Pearl had absorbed the Tonic Spirit Pill . This Tonic Spirit Pill should be quite beneficial to Little Wingsy .
There was still one more Spirit Pill and one more Quintessence Pill left, which Ye Chen did not have any use for at the moment . The Chi-shaping Spirit Pill was not beneficial to One Buck, who was already at peak Daemon King Stage .
One Buck blinked as he watched Ye Chen place a Tonic Spirit Pill inside the Soul Pearl, but quickly retracted his gaze . He would not dare to ask Ye Chen for anything . After all, Ye Chen had given him several Soul-consolidating Pills, so he should be content .
“One Buck, this is for you . ” After a brief rumination, Ye Chen retrieved two Cosmic Stones from his armguard space and threw them to One Buck .
One Buck reached out and caught the two Cosmic Stones in his hand . Puzzled, he asked, “Boss, what’s this?”
“Cosmic Stones, a very rare treasure . Absorb the Cosmic Power within and they’ll help you improve your cultivation . ”
Although One Buck lived deep in the mountains, he had seen legends about Cosmic Stones in the ancient tomes left behind by the elders . He was extremely touched . “Thank you, Boss . ” Even though Cosmic Stones were such a rare treasure, Boss had casually given him two . Following after Boss was promising!
Both the Golden Sun Condor and One Buck jovially searched for an empty spot to cultivate themselves . Ye Chen peeked into his armguard space and took out the items he took from the sarcophagus . There was a dark gray mantle that could cover an entire body as well as a golden watch that he did not recognize .
“Master Lion, what’s the use of these items?” Ye Chen asked .
“Youngling Ye Chen, this mantle isn’t a spirit artifact . It looks extremely ordinary . However, it’s woven out of gray embroidered silk and has been imbued with a secret technique . Once you put it on, it’ll completely mask the wearer’s energy and form its own subspace . Even a Transcendent Stage powerhouse will not be able to examine you,” Master Lion explained .
“This mantle possesses such a useful feature . ” Ye Chen was slightly surprised . This was a good find, perhaps one day, he could use it . “What about this golden watch?”
“This golden watch is called a Demon Suppressing Watch . Once activated, it can be used to suppress a few supreme fighters . However, this Demon Suppressing Watch consumes too much Celestial Chi . Based on the Celestial Chi in your body, you cannot activate it . ”
“So, this item is completely useless to me?” Ye Chen asked . It was incredibly difficult to find this piece of treasure, but in the end, he could not activate it .
“Not necessarily . There’s another way to activate it!”
“What is it?”
“Use the medicinal pills in your hand . Inject tens of thousands of Chi Deposition Pills into the Demon Suppressing Watch . The amount of Celestial Chi accumulated inside tens of thousands of Chi Deposition Pills should be enough to mobilize it once . ”
“Tens of thousands of Chi Deposition Pills can only mobilize it once? How powerful is the effect of this Demon Suppressing Watch?” Ye Chen asked with a tinge of doubt .
“That, I don’t know either . We’ll only find out when you use it against an enemy in battle,” Master Lion replied . He did not know much about this Demon Suppressing Watch .
“I wonder who the owner of the ancient tomb was…” Ye Chen muttered to himself . There were so many treasures among his burial goods .
“In terms of status, the owner of this ancient tomb is much more inferior compared to Emperor Ming . So, the Demon Suppressing Watch cannot compare to Emperor Ming’s Belt,” Master Lion said, “however, it’s still a rare treasure . According to my estimation, it must be a Human Tier item . ”
“Human Tier spirit artifact!” Ye Chen’s heart skipped lightly . Nevertheless, wielding the Demon Suppressing Watch just once required tens of thousands of Chi Disposition Pills . Unless it was necessary, Ye Chen would not dare to test this item . After all, tens of thousands of Chi Disposition Pills were not a small amount . Ye Chen did not have an abundance of Chi Disposition Pills .
Ye Chen’s Astral Body moved and discovered that Zhu Gonggong had appeared not too far away .
“I, Zhu Gonggong, will surely take back my treasure!” Zhu Gonggong grunted in anger . It hid behind a large tree, constantly flicking its tail . Its body was covered in precious gems and soul jade ornaments .
Since Ye Chen had already gotten so many soul jade ornaments, he did not plan to take any from Zhu Gonggong’s body .
Ye Chen did not know what Zhu Gonggong was planning to do, so he did not retract the Purple Demon Armor . He continued wearing the armor . He took a Chi-transforming Pill from his armguard space and swallowed it with a gulp . A warm gush of energy flowed into his dantian .
