Chapter 2459 - 2149: Primordial Pearl

Lu Chen took less than half a day to fly to the Great Zhou Border.

Just as he flew into the skies above Frost-Repelling City on the Great Zhou Border, he sensed a faint trace of Mysterious Power.

After Lu Chen broke through to the King Realm, his perception had become even sharper than before.

At this moment, following the Mysterious aura he sensed, Lu Chen swiftly flew to hover above the courtyard that was emanating that Mysterious Power.

At the same time, in Frost-Repelling City, Li Mansion.

In the council hall, the people of Sky Wolf Palace were discussing what to do next.

Sitting in the main seat was a man dressed in black.

Golden patterns were embroidered on the man’s black robe; his features were somewhat alluring, with a sinister softness.

Seated in the first position on his right hand was a stunningly beautiful mature woman.

At this moment, the black-robed man looked at the beautiful woman and asked, "Nanyan, who is the one that hurt you? Don’t worry, I will definitely avenge you."

Yelv Nanyan was the woman he had set his sights on; someone actually dared to harm his person, so no matter what, he had to let the other party know what kind of end awaited those who offended their Sky Wolf Palace.

Hearing Qiu Baichuan’s words, Yelv Nanyan said, "That man is called Lu Chen, likely a Border Desolate Native, but he has a special Magic Treasure in his hands."

"That Magic Treasure can easily shatter the Sky Demon Sect’s Blood Refining Seal Array. I suspect that Magic Treasure was obtained by him from the Ancient Ruins."

After hearing Yelv Nanyan’s words, Qiu Baichuan said, "If I remember correctly, the Sky Demon Sect’s Blood Refining Seal Array should be a Heavenly Array, right?"

"To be able to destroy a Heavenly Array, that means the Magic Treasure in his hand is at the very least a Heavenly Realm Treasure, and might even be a King Realm Treasure."

When King Realm Treasure was mentioned, a trace of desire flashed in Qiu Baichuan’s eyes. If he could obtain this King Realm Treasure, then even if he failed to gain the Ancient Inheritance, this trip would not have been in vain.

Thinking this, Qiu Baichuan immediately said, "Nanyan, where is that man right now? We’ll go find him at once and snatch that Magic Treasure from his hands."

Yelv Nanyan immediately said, "His strength is very great; he very likely has already broken through to the Mid Heavenly Realm. We don’t need to be this anxious for now—let the Heavenly Realm experts of other forces test his strength first."

Seeing Yelv Nanyan being so cautious, Qiu Baichuan said rather unhappily, "Although I’m only at the Early Heaven Realm, my strength is no weaker than those of the Mid Heavenly Realm. Besides, we’re not the only Heavenly Realm experts here. Are we supposed to be afraid of a single Border Desolate Native?"

In Qiu Baichuan’s eyes, Lu Chen was nothing more than a mere Border Desolate Native. No matter how strong his strength was, how strong could it possibly be?

Strength was tied to Cultivation Technique and Magic Treasure. Although Lu Chen might possess a powerful Magic Treasure, out in the Border Wilderness he couldn’t obtain top-grade Cultivation Techniques. Even if he had broken through to the Mid Heavenly Realm, the strength he could display would be limited, very likely inferior to a Spirit Martial Artist of the Early Heavenly Realm from the Central State.

Qiu Baichuan then continued, "If we go too late and that Magic Treasure you mentioned falls into the hands of the Disciples of other forces, it’ll be much more difficult for us to snatch it from another sect later."

Yelv Nanyan thought for a moment and still felt that something was off.

Although she also believed that the combined strength of the few Heavenly Realm experts like Qiu Baichuan might surpass Lu Chen’s, she vaguely had a kind of ominous premonition.

This Lu Chen was able to break through to the Heavenly Realm in the Border Wilderness, so he must have some unique fortuitous encounter or methods.

Moreover, the Zhen Nan Prince Manor didn’t only have him as a Heavenly Realm expert; this showed that the Zhen Nan Prince Manor had deep foundations.

What if Lu Chen didn’t just have that single Magic Treasure, but also possessed other, even more powerful Magic Treasures?

Their main objective was the Ancient Inheritance. Right now, whether the Ancient Inheritance was still within the Ancient Ruins, or whether it had already been taken by Lu Chen, was still uncertain.

They had to go into the Ancient Ruins to confirm it first.

If they were too hasty in making a move against Lu Chen and ended up in a mutual-destruction situation with him, causing the Ancient Inheritance to fall into someone else’s hands, then when they returned to Sky Wolf Palace, their Palace Master would certainly punish them.

Yelv Nanyan kept silent, as if she were worrying about something.

At this moment, Qiu Baichuan directly took out a wooden box from his sleeve.

He then said, "This is the Primordial Pearl the Palace Master had me bring. Once you activate it, you can briefly erupt with strength close to the King Realm. With this pearl here, you shouldn’t have anything to worry about, right?"

As his words fell, Qiu Baichuan opened the wooden box. In the next instant, dense Deceitful Evil surged out from within, and the entire room was shrouded by it.

Immediately afterward, a terrifying pressure swept through the hall, making everyone feel as though even breathing had become difficult.

Even Qiu Baichuan himself felt as if his body was bearing the weight of several great mountains, and he hurriedly closed the wooden box.

Upon seeing the Primordial Pearl, Yelv Nanyan’s eyes lit up. She hadn’t expected their Palace Master to actually have Qiu Baichuan bring the Primordial Pearl.

The Primordial Pearl was her exclusive Magic Treasure; only she could use it.

Once she activated the Primordial Pearl, she could erupt with extremely powerful combat strength for a short period of time.

However, because the Primordial Pearl was too precious, she hadn’t brought it with her when she first came to the Border Wilderness, fearing that it might fall into someone else’s hands.

Now that they had the Primordial Pearl, no matter how deep the foundations of the Zhen Nan Prince Manor were, Lu Chen could no longer be her match.

Yelv Nanyan then said, "Since you’ve even brought the Primordial Pearl, we’ll do as you say."

Just as Yelv Nanyan finished speaking, everyone suddenly felt a terrifying pressure descend.

Qiu Baichuan was stunned for a moment, and his gaze subconsciously shifted to the wooden box in his hand. He thought he hadn’t closed it tightly enough, causing the Primordial Pearl’s pressure to leak out.

But with a single glance, he saw that the box was sealed tightly, with no aura leaking from within.

This pressure was coming from outside, and everyone instantly realized it.

Qiu Baichuan shouted loudly, "We have an enemy!"

As his shout fell, everyone present immediately gripped their weapons and then rushed out of the council hall.

Once they arrived in the courtyard, they saw a young man floating in the sky.

Upon seeing that man, Yelv Nanyan was slightly stunned; in her mind appeared the scene of Lu Chen driving the Heavenly Tribulation Soil to destroy the Blood Refining Seal Array.

Yelv Nanyan snapped out of it and immediately said to Qiu Baichuan, "Quick, give me the Primordial Pearl—he is Lu Chen."

Hearing Yelv Nanyan’s words, Qiu Baichuan did not immediately toss the Primordial Pearl to her.

Qiu Baichuan chuckled and said, "I didn’t expect him to actually dare come looking for us alone. Everyone, make a move together—today we’ll let this Border Desolate Native see what happens when you offend our Sky Wolf Palace."

As he spoke, Qiu Baichuan was the first to act. He leaped from the ground and threw a punch straight at Lu Chen.

Qiu Baichuan roared, "Ruins Shocking Mountain Fist!"

As the punch blasted out, a dead and desolate ancient ruin manifested around Qiu Baichuan. Broken steles and withered bones, crumbling mountain ranges revolved around him as his fist force intertwined with spiritual evil. When the full power of the punch was unleashed, the entire ruin pressed down toward Lu Chen.

Seeing the phantom before his eyes, Lu Chen let out a light laugh.

He hadn’t expected that before he could even make a move, the other party would come rushing up to him.

In the next instant, a Longsword appeared in Lu Chen’s hand.

Lu Chen gathered spiritual evil into the sword and slashed once.

"Drunken Dream Thousand Years Slash!"

An invisible Sword Evil streaked straight toward Qiu Baichuan.

Yet Qiu Baichuan couldn’t see this Sword Evil; he only felt a sense of impending catastrophe envelop his heart.
