Chapter 1159: Destroying Ghost Tun!
The torn muscles and flesh on Ghost Tun's head quickly regenerated, as the injury that Yue Zhong caused recovered in a blink of an eye.
Yue Zhong's body flickered through the endless Bone Blades, while his fists punched out rapidly, covered in golden saint-like radiance, destroying the Bone Blades that appeared in front of him.
After passing through the bone blades, Yue Zhong came up to Ghost Tun's head once more, his fist punching downwards in a thousand fist shadows.
Under that merciless assault, Ghost Tun's head was ravaged and healed, over and over again. Even when Yue Zhong managed to destroy it fully, it was able to regenerate within seconds. The brain could be destroyed, but Ghost Tun was not yet dead. It was truly horrific.
As Yue Zhong was continuously pummeling Ghost Tun, Ghost Tun's body also fired out a number of bone blades, using strange angles to attack Yue Zhong, forcing him back.
At the moment Yue Zhong retreated, Ghost Tun's body recovered completely, as though he had not been injured at all. He was basically an undying freak right now.
Yue Zhong stared at it and frowned, "Damn it!! I can't kill him!! If this goes on, the person to die will be me!! Seems like I can only do that!"
With the support of the God Domain, Yue Zhong had temporarily risen to the half-step Type 9 realm. However, each second sapped him of a lot of energy. He could not maintain it for too long.
His gaze narrowed, and he quickly smashed the Bone Blades apart. He then appeared behind Ghost Tun, and ignited his Flame Domain, before congealing it to a layer that covered his right fist, burning with the God-Devil Flames. He then punched out at Ghost Tun.
At that moment, the golden God-Devil Flames ignited and began burning Ghost Tun's body, burning up large chunks of its flesh and blood.
"Ah!!"
Burned by that God-Devil Flames, Ghost Tun screamed out in agony, as countless bone blades burst out from him again, trying to slice at Yue Zhong.
"Break for me!!"
Yue Zhong's body started to radiate like a god, as his left fist channeled a Sky Covering Shadow Fist, breaking through all the bone blades, while his right fist smashed into Ghost Tun's body mercilessly and continuously while wrapped in the God-Devil Flames. The intense assault caused Ghost Tun to roar out in agony, his body ablaze in flames.
Ghost Tun's vitality was incredibly tenacious, even when his flesh was being burnt away, it was regenerating at an insane speed. However, ultimately, the regeneration speed could not compare to the God-Devil Flame's incineration, and amidst his miserable cries, he was finally burnt to a pile of ashes.
With his death, a pure amount of life force shot into Yue Zhong, nourishing him.
After killing Ghost Tun, Yue Zhong heaved a sigh of relief, and immediately released the God-Devil Domain and Flame Domain. Maintaining both at the same time was a huge expenditure of his energy. Under such circumstances, he would be totally sapped after a mere 3 minutes of combat.
At this time, Yue Zhong glanced towards the altar, noticing a number of the Holy Sons reaching it.
One of them managed to get to it, with greed in his eyes, as he stretched out to grab the Gold Grade Battle Armor.
Behind him, another Holy Son had a chilly glint in his eyes, as he roared out and sent a vicious slap, causing a dragon formed out of energy to blast the Holy Son in front, sending him flying with heavy injuries, "Get lost!! It's mine!!"
Among the humans, there was strife too. Against the foreign species, they would work together and fight alongside. However, once those external threats were not present, and faced with an incredible treasure, their inner greed and demons would rear their ugly heads, causing them to slaughter each other in greed.
Another beautiful Holy Daughter waved her hands, causing a rainbow to shoot out and slam into 3 Holy Sons in front of her, breaking down their attacks and sent them flying to one side. She then grabbed out at thin air, forming a grasp at the Gold Grade Battle Armor.
Just as her energy hand shot out, another Holy Son fired out a black radiance, slamming into the energy hand, dissipating it forcefully.
If anyone present were to obtain the Gold Grade Battle Armor, they would become an existence capable of dealing with Type 9 powerhouses. Under such an allure, no one could maintain their rationale. The only thing holding them back from killing one another was because they were still fellow humans. Hence, no one died. However, as the battles raged on, they became even more furious with one another.
Yue Zhong stared at them quietly, without any intention to join in, just frowning at their mad behavior. At the same time, he took out a vial of Type 9 Mutant Beast blood to drink and recover his energy.
Annie also stood quietly by Yue Zhong's side, like his shadow, watching the scene in front of her, and a hint of greed in her eyes.
She was someone who fought in the shadows, acting as support. Her silk strands enabled her to control someone else like a puppet and could split apart armors and tie her enemies. However, in a frontal clash, she was no match for the rest of the Holy Sons and Daughters. Hence, when fighting for treasures, she knew she did not have an upper hand. She was always one who kept her calm, and since she knew there was no chance for her to obtain the treasure, she did not step forward to fight for it.
Qian Chang Qing let out a loud roar towards the sky, "Everyone, stop!!! Listen to me!! There's a problem with this treasure!! If it was so easy to obtain, then the Devil Race and Man-Eaters would have taken it before us!! Stop!! Stop fighting!!"
Every one of the Holy Sons and Daughters was smart, and they quickly sobered up at that, realizing that they had missed that point. It was unfortunate that greed had blinded their eyes earlier.
Qian Chang Qing had used a psychological attack in his roar, shaking them out from the greed that overtaken them, forcefully bringing the infighting to a stop.
At the moment they stopped, one handsome Holy Son dressed in white appeared like a specter atop the altar, his lips revealing a smug smile as he reached out to grab Gold Grade Battle Armor.
Just as he touched the armor, the altar suddenly radiated brightly, forming a huge golden shield that enveloped him and the armor.
The runes around the altar shone, and a number of sharp gold spikes burst out from the altar, piercing that Holy Son.
A mysterious force then traveled through the spikes, immediately sucking the Holy Son dry, turning him into dust.
A wind blew past, scattering the ashes to one side.
Seeing this, everyone's heart turned cold. They had finally cooled down enough to stop fighting and come up to the altar together.
Yue Zhong also came up to observe carefully.
The temple was harboring too many mysteries, if one was not careful, a Type 8 existence could be snuffed out just like an ant.
All around the altar, there were many runes engraved, each of them emitting a strange aura. The Gold Grade Battle Armor was placed right in the middle, and right at the spot where the treasure met the altar, was a silver keyhole.
Seeing that, Yue Zhong's brows furrowed and turned to leave. Such a treasure needed a key to open, with his current strength, he could not break through it. Only a Type 9 or even Type 10 True-God expert would be able to deal with the methods of another True-God expert.
Right as he was about to leave, the crystal silver key within his storage ring began to shudder as though it was alive.
Immediately, he decided to stay, watching them quietly.
Qian Chang Qing swept the entire place a glance, before sighing, "There's no way about it, this treasure needs a key to retrieve. Let's go search for other treasures!"
After that, he turned around without any delay and headed further into the temple.
This palace was a treasury, and there was sure to be other treasures other than this armor. Plenty of Mutant Beast nuclei, leather, scales were placed everywhere. Type 5 Mutant Beast nuclei were piled up as high as mountains. Weapons of all sorts were placed everywhere casually. There was even a treasure on the same level of the Heaven-Piercing Bow.
The remaining Holy Sons and Daughters began to leave, dispersing in other directions, retrieving the various treasures.
