Chapter 550: Found the Treasure

‘I wonder what secrets the white and black beads hold?’ A flicker of anticipation flashed in Li Yang’s eyes.

But after a moment’s thought, he pushed the idea aside.

This wasn’t the time to rush into a trade. Li Yang had other things to do!

‘Next, I’ll wait for Shuihan to arrive while continuing to hunt Alien Race Deities!’

A glint shone in Li Yang’s eyes.

The Slaughter Battlefield was vast, and the distance between any two Deities was immense. It was hard to say how long it would take to encounter one.

Under normal circumstances, Li Yang would be lucky to encounter ten Alien Race Deities in a month.

But here, he had killed over a hundred Deities in just one month!

It was because of the Mixed Void that so many Alien Race Deities had gathered here, causing their numbers to skyrocket.

And these numerous Alien Race Deities had become Li Yang’s personal resource pool, allowing him to continuously collect Divine Artifacts!

‘Thirteenth Senior Brother will also be here in a month. If I kill more Alien Race Deities and get more Divine Artifacts now, I can get more Golden Universe Stones!’

Golden Universe Stones were a resource for raising Gold-devouring Insects. Li Yang’s Thirteenth Senior Brother might have a lot, but he would only give Li Yang a corresponding amount of Golden Universe Stones for the Divine Artifacts he had. He wouldn’t give any extra.

‘Soul Ink, I’m going to keep hunting Alien Race Deities. Help me keep an eye on our surroundings,’ Li Yang said directly after formulating his plan.

“Oh? You’ve found a way to deal with those two hundred-plus Divine Artifacts?” Soul Ink asked upon hearing Li Yang’s words.

Earlier, he and Li Yang had been discussing what to do with the more than two hundred Divine Artifacts. Afterward, Li Yang had entered the Virtual World to see the Eternal Ancestor, then entered the Divine Alliance’s Alliance Space.

Soul Ink was completely unaware of these events.

“Yes, Teacher Eternal Ancestor said…” Li Yang nodded and quickly explained the situation.

He smiled. “I need to hunt more Alien Race Deities now, get more Divine Artifacts, and then get more Golden Universe Stones from Thirteenth Senior Brother to raise my Gold-devouring Insects!”

The Gold-devouring Insects were a bottomless pit. The two hundred-plus Divine Artifacts Li Yang had obtained probably wouldn’t even amount to one percent of the resources they needed.

“I see.”

Soul Ink nodded. So much had happened to Li Yang in such a short time.

“Don’t worry. Just focus on your training.”

Having spoken with Soul Ink, Li Yang’s worries were put to rest.

“Let’s go!”

WHOOSH!

His figure flickered and shot off into the distance again.

…

And so, Li Yang’s slaughter began anew.

On the first day, he hunted three Alien Race Deities!

On the second day, he killed four!

On the third day, he killed three!

…

Time flew by, and Li Yang once again transformed into a killing machine that preyed on the Alien Races.

“It’s the human, Leimu!”

“Run!”

“Damn human!”

Previously, Li Yang had been known as the human “Spear,” but his real name, Leimu, had spread a few days ago. The Alien Races now knew the true name of the human “Spear.”

One by one, the Alien Race Deities cursed and panicked, but it did nothing to change their fate.

Ten days passed in a flash, and another twenty-eight Alien Race Deities had fallen at Li Yang’s hands.

…

This was a vast, rolling mountain range. The entire range looked dilapidated, scarred by countless battles.

At some unknown point in time, the mountain range had been completely devastated by fighting.

At this moment, in a corner of the range, a man with green esoteric patterns on his face was waiting.

WHOOSH!

In the distance, a figure flew over at high speed.

Seeing this figure, the man with the green patterns immediately stepped forward and said with a smile, “Leimu.”

“Shuihan.”

Li Yang also smiled as he looked at the man with the green patterns.

Ten days had passed, and Shuihan had finally arrived. This remote location was their arranged meeting place for the trade.

“Leimu, this is the black bead you wanted.”

Shuihan didn’t waste any time. With a wave of his right hand, a black bead appeared and flew directly to Li Yang.

As Shuihan looked at Li Yang, there was a clear trace of awe in his eyes.

In just ten short days, news of Li Yang killing Alien Race Deities had continued to spread. Another twenty-plus Tri-System Deities had died at his hands.

He was only a Tri-System Deity himself. How could he not be in awe?

Unaware of Shuihan’s thoughts, Li Yang’s attention was clearly focused on the bead before him.

BZZZ…

The moment the black bead arrived in front of Li Yang, the white bead in his Spatial Ring began to vibrate violently.

‘As I thought!’

Li Yang’s heart stirred. The two beads were clearly connected.

However, Li Yang’s expression remained calm. He waved his right hand, and a suit of black armor appeared.

“Shuihan, this is the High-Level Divine Artifact armor you wanted,” Li Yang said.

Accepting the armor, Shuihan’s face filled with joy.

“Haha, Leimu, thank you.”

Li Yang smiled and said, “We both got what we wanted.”

The two chatted for a few more moments, but Shuihan clearly had no intention of staying long. He looked at Li Yang and said, “Leimu, since the trade is complete, I’ll be on my way.”

“Alright. Take care,” Li Yang said with a smile.

He watched Shuihan leave. After waiting until Shuihan was completely out of his detection range, Li Yang waved his right hand and took out the white bead.

A phantom figure appeared before him. It was Soul Ink. He also looked at the bead and asked, “Li Yang, is that the black bead you said was related to Black Cosmos’s treasure site?”

Li Yang nodded. “That’s right.”

His eyes were full of anticipation as he stared at the two beads, waiting to see what would happen.

As for Soul Ink, he asked the one question and then lost interest.

What kind of existence was he? He had no interest whatsoever in a place of opportunity left behind by a mere Divine Realm expert.

He might not even be interested in treasures left by an Emperor.

He might not be interested, but Li Yang certainly was.

An invincible expert at the Divine Realm! That was the same level as his teacher, the Blade Slaughter Sect Master!

‘What kind of things would be in a treasure site specifically left behind by such an expert?’

BZZZ…

When the two beads appeared, they immediately floated in front of Li Yang, circling each other continuously.

As they spun, the patterns within the two beads slowly emerged. The numerous patterns separated and reassembled, eventually forming a map that depicted a plain.

The map clearly showed a location on the Slaughter Battlefield.

“Where is this?” Li Yang frowned slightly.

The Slaughter Battlefield was incredibly vast. Even after exploring for hundreds of millions of years, it would be difficult to set foot everywhere.

With just a map, Li Yang had no idea where this place was. Especially since it was a plain.

The entire Slaughter Battlefield was full of plains.

Just as Li Yang was pondering this, a wave of energy pulsed from the map. Li Yang sensed the pulse, and then, he vaguely sensed a location far in the distance.

‘Is that the location of the treasure Black Cosmos left behind?’ Li Yang’s eyes lit up upon sensing it.
