Chapter 669: Treasure of the Treasures…

Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated

Hao Ren who had been fighting his emotions in the illusion array suddenly found that the array was broken.

He opened his eyes and saw the golden shield hovering in the high sky, sucking in the white fog-form nature essence into its core like a tornado.

“This little…” Hao Ren’s first thought was that the golden shield was causing trouble again.

Instantly, it sucked half of the nature essence in Penglai Island, one of the three most powerful remote celestial mountains!

“Stop it!” Seeing the overbearing behavior of Hao Ren’s supreme spiritual treasure, Qingfeng and Mingyue immediately jumped up to fight the golden shield with bare fists.

Penglai Island Master raised his hands slightly, and Mingyue and Qingfeng who had reached the Nascent Soul Realm were immediately immobilized.

“Since he broke my Seven Killing Array, he can get the nature essence as a reward,” Penglai Island Master said calmly.

In the sky above Penglai Island, the golden shield spun faster and faster.

Although Penglai Island was far smaller than Kunlun Mountain, the nature essence intensity was almost the same as that in Kunlun Mountain, the ancestral holy place for cultivation sects.

Hum… The golden shield suddenly released thousands of golden lights.

Bang… These golden lights shot into the sea, sending many level 10 demon beasts into the air.

The Green Wave Sword flew from the sleeve of Penglai Island Master and dashed toward the golden shield.

The golden shield released a golden light beam that was as thick as an arm toward the Green Wave Sword which was also a supreme spiritual treasure, breaking the latter into two halves!

“Master… This…” Qingfeng and Mingyue looked at Penglai Island Master in surprise.

“There are levels in cultivation progress and dharma treasures. Each of you, take one piece of the sword and refine them into dharma treasures,” Penglai Island Master said as he rubbed his chin slowly.

It seemed he didn’t care that a supreme spiritual treasure was broken.

Qingfeng and Mingyue both felt pitiful toward the destruction of the sword, but they soon got excited since the remains of a supreme spiritual treasure still had some spirit properties. With their excellent material, they could be made into powerful dharma treasures.

They ran over to pick up the broken Green Wave Sword and returned to Penglai Island Master’s side. They looked at the overbearing gold shield in the high sky enviously, saying, “Master, this dharma treasure…”

“The dharma treasures can cultivate by themselves and try hard to elevate. This shield is able to achieve such a realm, and that is its fortune. In Penglai Island, we have countless treasures. Why should we pity the loss of one treasure? As long as you cultivate hard, you will get your share. You’re still young; don’t be so greedy.”

The two kids lowered their heads with shame at their master’s scold. Although they had reached the Nascent Soul Realm, they were still kids who couldn’t help feeling envious just like the regular kids who saw other kids’ toys.

“Today, you will have the chance to watch how the supreme spiritual treasure passes the Heavenly Tribulation,” Penglai Island Master continued.

Qingfeng and Mingyue looked up at the golden shield with widened eyes.

Standing under the peach tree, Hao Ren was also watching the golden shield in surprise, feeling like the shield’s aura was quite different from before.

It was quite common to see cultivators and demon beasts trying to pass Heavenly Tribulations, but not dharma treasures.

Only the top-tier dharma treasures with traces of spirit properties could trigger the Heavenly Tribulation and become a supreme spiritual treasure.

The supreme spiritual treasures would trigger another Heavenly Tribulation after reaching a certain level. Such supreme spiritual treasures were treasures of the treasures and could defeat the ordinary supreme spiritual treasures.

After three Heavenly Tribulation, they would become the kings of the treasures. Up until now, only one treasure had reached this level in the entire world.

Bang!

A heavenly lightning bolt struck down from the sky.

The level 10 demon beasts around Penglai Island all came over, hoping to get some lightning energy for themselves.

The golden shield shot out a blinding golden light toward the lightning.

Crack… Nine purple lightning bolts struck down from the black clouds toward the golden shield from nine directions.

Qingfeng and Mingyue had seen lots of demon beasts and even small demon kings passing the Heavenly Tribulation around Penglai Island, but they had never seen such powerful nine-layered godly lightning bolts.

The golden shield could only shoot out golden lights since it was a defense dharma treasure and only had simple attack methods.

However, due to its defensive nature, it had a natural advantage in resisting heavenly lightning bolts. The nine purple lightning bolts pierced the nine golden lights and struck the surface of the golden shield. They left nine dents, but it wasn’t pierced!

The golden shield shook again, and it sucked more than half of the nature essence on Penglai Island into its body.

Without the nurture of nature essence, the flourishing plants on the island began to wither in the masses. Black clouds moved to the sky above the island, and the ethereal Penglai Island looked like the chilly hell instantly.

“Master…” The two kids turned to look at Penglai Island Master anxiously.

Penglai Island Master waved his hand, signaling them to keep calm.

He was surprised that a supreme spiritual treasure would stay with only a top-tier Dui-level cultivator, and he wanted to see if the dharma treasure would still stay with Hao Ren after elevating into a higher realm.

Besides, the natural selection was the law of the world, and he had never interfered when the demon beasts and small demon kings were going through their Heavenly Tribulations around Penglai Island.

No matter if it were cultivators or dharma treasures, they must get past many risks and dangers to reach the top.

Bang… Many silver lights flashed in the black clouds.

The dark Demon Sea lit up instantly. The level 10 demon beasts tumbled in the ocean waves with fear and excitement.

It was almost equivalent to the Heavenly Tribulation of demon kings! If the level 10 demon beasts could touch one bit of the lightning energy, they might be able to use that lightning energy to transform and bypass the Heaven Tribulation!

Hu! Hu!

The golden shield spat out two big streaks of nature essence as if it were making the last preparation.

For the dharma treasures, the first tribulation was equivalent to the Transformation Tribulation of the demon beasts, and it was difficult to pass. The second tribulation was equal to the small demon kings’ tribulations, and it was more dangerous than the first one.

Among the tens of millions of demon beasts, only a few could transform into demon kings, and even less could become big demon kings.

The number of supreme spiritual treasures in the world was less than that of the small demon kings in the Demon Sea, and fewer could pass two Heavenly Tribulations.

Crack… Lightning bolts struck down from all directions toward the golden shield.

The blinding light lit up the demon beasts that were deep in the ocean.

Hao Ren was surprised that the golden shield could trigger such a powerful tribulation, and he felt like this Heavenly Tribulation was even more powerful than Zhao Kuo’s Heavenly Tribulation from a while back.

Crack… The second wave of lightning bolts crashed toward the golden shield.

The golden shield spun with all its force as dents appeared on its smooth surface. If the dharma treasures got even a small crack, it meant failure.

Crack! The clouds that almost engulfed all the inner area of the Demon Sea were lit up.

The golden shield had sucked in as much nature essence as possible, but it stumbled as if it would fall.

When the next waves of heavenly lightning bolts struck down, the golden shield would shatter and die. After all, even mortals who were trying to cultivate into immortals were against the laws of nature, let alone dharma treasures!

Seeing the lightning bolts in the clouds, an idea occurred to Hao Ren. He unlocked Zhao Haoran’s 1,000-year cultivation strength with his connate nature essence and then transformed into a dragon!

A white dragon flew into the sky!

Peak Qian-level!

Feeling pain on his sides, Hao Ren spread out his dragon wings that were hundreds of meters wide!

“Ugh?” Seeing Hao Ren turning into a dragon with the power of peak Qian-level, the two kids were surprised.

The 40,960 sword energies!

Five sword energies of each elemental attribute combined into lightning!

There were now 8,192 lightning swords! They merged into a huge sword which was so thick that five people couldn’t get their arms around it.

Breaking the lightning with lightning!

With Hao Ren’s help, the golden shield regained its courage!

The heavenly lightning bolts striking down from the high sky centered on the heart of Penglai Island, looking like a huge funnel.

The level 10 demon beasts jumped out of the Demon Sea in excitement, trying to grab the chance to transform after thousands of years of cultivation.

The golden shield spun shakily, sucking in the white mist-form nature essence from the surface of the Demon Sea.

Clang! Hao Ren’s white dragon form was struck down by a heavenly lightning bolt.

The huge sword condensed by the 8,192 lightning swords was shattered into pieces.

Then the purple heavenly lightning bolts fell into the sea around Penglai Island in pieces.

Thousands of level 10 demon beasts which had cultivated for many years jumped out of the sea almost at the same time, and heavenly lightning bolts struck hundreds of them!

The demon beasts that were struck by the powerful heavenly lightning bits fell into the ocean, and it was hard to tell if they were dead or not. However, the demon beasts that were struck by weaker heavenly lightning bits shimmered with weird lights, and they were about to transform!

Hao Ren had helped hundreds of level 10 demon beasts pass the transformation stage!

He looked up and saw the golden shield hovering in the high sky; it was in a deadlock with a white heavenly lightning bolt which was thicker than itself!

Up! Up! Up!

The golden shield pushed the heavenly lightning bolt up for more than ten meters!

Crack! The white heavenly lightning collapsed suddenly and disappeared like a fantasy shadow.

The golden shield was blackened, uneven, and wrinkled on the edges, looking more broken than garbage.

Despite its shabby look, it had passed the Heavenly Tribulation!

“Little spiritual treasure! Be grateful and acknowledge your master!” Penglai Island Master said to the golden shield.

After the second elevation, the supreme spiritual treasures would take the first cultivator they saw as their master. With Hao Ren standing before it, the golden shield vaguely remembered that he had helped it block the Heavenly Tribulation. After a few seconds of hesitation, it flew over slowly.

Changing back into his human form, a set of clothes flew over and put itself on him.

“Since you broke my Seven Killing Array, I’ll keep my word and won’t take you as my disciple. Leave now, and I’ll not hold you responsible for destroying my trees.”

Penglai Island Master raised his hands, and a great amount of nature essence came to Penglai Island from the nearby area. As a result, all kinds of trees were turned back to life with new leaves and flowers.

“With your steady mind and great fortune, if you can get out of the Demon Sea and come back to Penglai Island again, I’ll take you as my brother!”

A huge force lifted Hao Ren and tossed him out of Penglai Island.

“I still don’t know your name, Senior!” Hao Ren yelled.

“Zhen Yuan Zi!” The name shot into Hao Ren’s ears.
