Li Yang was shocked.

But when he heard Black Cosmos mention the grade of this Divine Poison, Li Yang couldn’t help but gasp.

S-grade. This was the highest grade of Divine Poison!

Li Yang had once looked it up in the Human Race’s Eternal Saint Hall, and its price was an absolutely astronomical figure.

It was safe to say that no Deity could afford it.

And now, two vials of S-grade Divine Poison had appeared right before his eyes!

One vial could kill twenty-five Five Elemental Deities. With two vials, if used perfectly, one could even kill fifty Five Elemental Deities. What did that even mean?

Fifty Five Elemental Deities represented a force that could not be underestimated, even within the Human Race.

As Li Yang reeled from the shock, Black Cosmos’s voice continued, “The second treasure is the Space Tower.”

Hearing this, Li Yang’s gaze couldn’t help but shift to the second table.

On that table sat a small, white pagoda, covered in incredibly strange, arcane patterns.

“This Space Tower is a treasure with a Spatial Attribute. You can enter it directly. Its defenses are extremely strong. Unless an Emperor personally takes action, no other Deity can destroy it, not even one who is invincible within the Divine Realm. If you find yourself outmatched in a fight, you can hide inside the Space Tower, activate it, and calmly make your escape.”

“Furthermore, if you release the Divine Poison, you can also enter the Space Tower to take shelter.”

“The Space Tower? No Deity other than an Emperor can break its defenses? Not even someone invincible in the Divine Realm?” Li Yang was stunned once again.

‘Doesn’t that mean that as long as I don’t run into an Emperor, my life won’t be in danger on the Slaughter Battlefield?’

This was clearly another extremely powerful treasure!

Its value was no less than that of the Divine Poison!

Unaware of Li Yang’s inner turmoil, Black Cosmos continued his programmed-like introduction, “The third treasure is a set of attack orbs. There are thirty orbs in total. Crushing any one of them will unleash an invincible Divine Realm-level attack.”

“An attack from an expert invincible in the Divine Realm?” Hearing this, Li Yang was startled yet again.

A single attack from an expert invincible in the Divine Realm could even instantly kill an ordinary Five Elemental Deity!

To say nothing of those below the level of Five Elemental Deities!

‘These thirty orbs before me, each containing an invincible Divine Realm-level attack… doesn’t this mean I’ll have the power to kill Five Elemental Deities?’

Of course, an invincible Divine Realm expert could only instantly kill a weaker Five Elemental Deity. If their target was a bit stronger, a one-shot kill wouldn’t be possible.

But even if one attack couldn’t kill them instantly, unleashing several attacks at once could definitely grind the opponent down to death!

‘There’s still one last treasure.’

Still in shock, Li Yang looked toward the last table.

On this final table rested a black, mountain-shaped object.

‘The first three treasures are all immensely useful. This last one must be extraordinary as well.’

As Li Yang was thinking, Black Cosmos said, “The final treasure is a domain-type item named Heavy Prison Mountain! Though it’s only a top-tier Divine Artifact, it is very special. It releases a powerful gravitational pressure. Under this pressure, an expert invincible in the Divine Realm will be affected by one percent. A Five Elemental Deity will be affected by at least a tenth, and a weaker Five Elemental Deity might even be affected by a fifth! A Four-Element Deity will be affected by at least half…”

“This gravity affects your opponents, while you, as the master of Heavy Prison Mountain, will find your speed increased with its assistance…”

With Black Cosmos’s explanation, the details of the final treasure were revealed.

“Heavy Prison Mountain?”

Li Yang listened intently, his heart once again filled with shock.

‘A Five Elemental Deity would be affected by a fifth at most… that’s equivalent to a direct twenty percent reduction in their strength.’

‘As for Four-Element Deities, they’d be affected by at least half. Under Heavy Prison Mountain’s influence, their strength would drop by more than half!’

‘And as for even weaker ones, like Tri-System Deities, they probably wouldn’t even have a tenth of their strength left!’

‘Overall, Heavy Prison Mountain weakens enemies while strengthening its user. It’s the ultimate support-type treasure!’

“Haha, lucky one, I have broken through to become an Emperor! These treasures are useless to me now, so I’ll leave them to you. I hope you use them well!”

“Perhaps we’ll meet again in the future. When that time comes, lucky one, you’d better think about how you’re going to repay this favor to me, Black Cosmos, haha…”

Black Cosmos’s wild laughter echoed for a moment before fading away completely.

The surroundings fell silent, as if nothing had ever happened.

Li Yang stared at the four treasures before him, his eyes still filled with shock.

Back when Black Cosmos was invincible within the Divine Realm, he had caused even other invincible experts of the same level to suffer setbacks. Li Yang had figured the treasures Black Cosmos left behind would be precious, but he had never imagined they would be precious to this degree.

Two vials of S-grade Divine Poison!

The Space Tower, a defensive treasure that only an Emperor could destroy, making its user absolutely invincible within the Divine Realm!

Thirty attacks at the level of an invincible Divine Realm expert!

And finally, Heavy Prison Mountain, a support treasure whose gravitational restraints could even affect those invincible in the Divine Realm!

Any one of these four treasures, if word got out, would likely cause a massive uproar! It would incite countless Deities into a desperate scramble to possess it!

And now, all four treasures were laid out before Li Yang, his for the taking!

After a moment of shock, an expression of immense excitement and joy appeared in Li Yang’s eyes.

“Haha, this treasure hoard of Black Cosmos truly lives up to its name!”

This was a true treasure trove!

It was safe to say that all four treasures would be of enormous use to the current Li Yang!

“Mm, the treasures Black Cosmos left behind are indeed quite good,” Soul Ink commented, nodding. “While they may be useless to an Emperor, they are definitely what Deities desire most.”

Black Cosmos was a lone wolf with no clan. After he broke through to the Emperor level, these treasures were of no use to him, but it felt like a waste to discard them. So, Black Cosmos left them behind, which could be considered a way of creating a favorable connection.

Just as Black Cosmos had said, the person who received these treasures would essentially owe him a great favor.

A favor that might be called upon in the future.

Hearing Soul Ink’s words, Li Yang smiled. He quickly stored the two vials of S-grade Divine Poison and the thirty orbs containing invincible Divine Realm-level attacks.

Then, Li Yang sent a wisp of his soul into the Space Tower and Heavy Prison Mountain!

With great ease, the two treasures quickly acknowledged him as their master. With a thought from Li Yang, both items flew before him.

The Space Tower, needless to say, was an extremely powerful life-saving treasure. As long as no Emperor appeared, Li Yang could hide inside it, and no other Deity would be able to harm him.

But Heavy Prison Mountain would be of even greater help to Li Yang!

‘Never mind the Five Elemental Deities. The gravitational suppression from Heavy Prison Mountain on a Tri-System Deity is at least half. That is to say, a Four-Element Deity under it wouldn’t even be able to use half of their strength—perhaps even less. Under such suppressive conditions, it would be entirely possible for me to kill a Four-Element Deity!’
