217: Purple Treasure Card

Outside the Realm.

A figure, completely wrapped in a black cloak, sat cross-legged and suspended in the air alone, keeping his distance from the Star Luo Territory Lord and his group.

Because his entire body was wrapped in the black cloak, no one could see that the eyes beneath the robe were tightly closed.

His entire consciousness and Soul, through some strange method, had entered a pitch-black hall.

In the center of this hall stood an enormous statue head, but the eyes of the statue were tightly shut, as if under some kind of Seal.

Figures wrapped in black cloaks were scattered all over the statue's head, some standing, some squatting, and others lying down.

Swish!

As the figure wrapped in the black cloak appeared atop the statue's head,

someone immediately asked,

"How is the situation?"

"He hasn't appeared yet," the Black Robed Man said in a deep voice. "This Hall Master of Tianji Hall is very cautious and quite patient; it's also possible he has already sensed something."

They were certain now.

This Hall Master of Tianji Hall had definitely entered the Realm.

After all, they had used the supreme prophetic treasure of the Fate Diviners to predict the fate that the Hall Master of Tianji Hall would inevitably enter the Realm.

And afterward, they had predicted again that the Hall Master of Tianji Hall would certainly head toward the Myriad Treasure Pagoda.

Yet, they had not found this Hall Master of Tianji Hall.

This meant that although the other party had entered the Myriad Treasure Pagoda, he had not stepped onto the eleventh floor.

"It's a pity we cannot control the Myriad Treasure Pagoda and cannot see the situation inside."

Someone said with regret.

"The level of the Myriad Treasure Pagoda is too high. In today's Tianwu Continent, the number of people capable of controlling it can be counted on one hand."

"Only the Master of Fate of back then could easily control it."

They shook their heads and sighed.

This Realm, as well as the Myriad Treasure Pagoda within it, had actually always been controlled by their Fate Diviners' Master of Fate.

Unfortunately,

since the Master of Fate fell,

although this Realm remained in the hands of the Fate Diviners, their control over it was very limited.

Even though, to the natives within the Realm,

they were high and mighty gods,

in reality, the authority of these 'gods' was far inferior to before.

Back when the Master of Fate was still around,

they could still distribute various treasure tokens within the Realm.

But now... they could only distribute the most ordinary white treasure tokens.

They couldn't even continue to distribute Green Treasure Tokens,

let alone other higher-level treasure tokens.

Of course,

this was also why they dared to use the fragment of the celestial compass as bait, unafraid that those entering the Realm could take it away.

Forget about those people,

even they themselves... could not take the fragment of the celestial compass out of the Myriad Treasure Pagoda.

Being able to view the fragment of the celestial compass was already the limit of what they could achieve.

"Can we predict once more? Predict that he will definitely step onto the eleventh floor."

The Black Robed Man asked in a deep voice.

He was worried that the Hall Master of Tianji Hall had already sensed something was wrong and refused to step onto the eleventh floor.

"...We can, but after this prediction, the supreme prophetic treasure will Seal itself for a long time and cannot be activated again."

This supreme prophetic treasure of the Fate Diviners could not perform predictions an infinite number of times.

Twice was already the limit.

If they forced a third prediction, the entire treasure would enter a self-Seal for a very long time.

Once they lost this supreme prophetic treasure, the Fate Diviners would be significantly weakened.

"As long as we can find the Hall Master of Tianji Hall, it's worth it even if the supreme prophetic treasure is gone!"

The Black Robed Man said solemnly.

The others all nodded in agreement.

If they didn't predict,

and if this Hall Master of Tianji Hall refused to step onto the eleventh floor no matter what, then everything they had done before would be in vain.

As long as they could get him to step onto the eleventh floor of the Myriad Treasure Pagoda, they would know who he was.

By then... their gains would absolutely outweigh the losses.

Thinking of this,

everyone no longer hesitated and began the final prediction... Inside the Realm.

Xiao Shi had already walked out of the Myriad Treasure Pagoda's range.

Without those natives to carry him, he could not use the teleportation arrays here and could only travel on foot.

Fortunately, he had already gained some understanding of the terrain around the Myriad Treasure Pagoda.

He knew there was a plain near the Myriad Treasure Pagoda.

Many Vicious Beasts lived on this plain.

Although there might not be as many Vicious Beasts as on Shuang Ren Mountain, there were still quite a few.

After traveling for a day,

Xiao Shi successfully arrived at this plain.

Next, he needed to complete his plan on this plain.

However, what he didn't expect was

that he wasn't the only one who had come to this plain; there were other outsiders as well.

Even though these outsiders had entered the Realm for the fragment of the celestial compass,

many of them were tempted after seeing the treasures in the Myriad Treasure Pagoda.

Since they couldn't get the fragment of the celestial compass,

they thought they might as well collect treasure tokens here. Even if they couldn't get the fragment, being able to exchange for those treasures in the Myriad Treasure Pagoda would make the trip worthwhile.

This led many outsiders to start collecting treasure tokens around the Myriad Treasure Pagoda one after another.

Xiao Shi ignored these outsiders.

He began to explore the plain.

After two consecutive days of exploration,

he had gained enough understanding of the plain.

Not only were there fewer Vicious Beasts here than on Shuang Ren Mountain, but more importantly... there were no Vicious Beasts here as ridiculously powerful as those on Shuang Ren Mountain!

This also put Xiao Shi's mind at ease.

After all, the terrifying Vicious Beasts on Shuang Ren Mountain last time had left a deep shadow on him.

Once he had sufficient knowledge of the area,

Xiao Shi began to act according to his plan.

At this moment, he was standing on a lush, leafy tree.

Looking down through the dense foliage,

beneath the tree were five giant beasts with white fur and white pupils, and sword-like spikes growing on their backs.

These giant beasts were different from ordinary Vicious Beasts; they didn't walk on all fours but on two legs, in a standing posture.

Their heads somewhat resembled those of hyenas, carrying a look of ferocity and cruelty.

Thick saliva constantly secreted from their mouths, dripping onto the ground.

They were massive,

reaching five meters in height!

With hunched backs and thick limbs,

they were a type of Vicious Beast unique to this plain, the Sword-backed Beast!

They were also the target Xiao Shi had chosen after careful selection!

He knew very well

that although these Sword-backed Beasts had combat power comparable to the Martial Soul Realm, they had the weakest Physical Bodies among all the Martial Soul Grade Vicious Beasts here!

They could be said to be the most suitable targets for him to hunt.

At the same time, through these days of observation,

Xiao Shi believed he had a sufficient understanding of these Sword-backed Beasts.

He clearly knew their strengths and weaknesses.

"Then..."

"Let's begin!"

Xiao Shi flipped his hand,

and a blood-colored Medicinal Pill immediately appeared in his palm.

The Blood Luck Pill!

His plan this time was to use the increase in luck brought by the Blood Luck Pill to allow higher-quality treasure tokens to drop after he made a kill!

He knew

that the luck increase from the Blood Luck Pill often allowed him to drop the highest-quality items after a kill.

But if used outside the Realm,

after killing a Blood Martial Realm martial artist, he would usually only drop top-quality items of the Blood Martial Realm, not Martial Soul Grade or even higher-Rank items.

But using it in this Realm... that was different!

Because killing Blood Martial Realm Vicious Beasts here could also drop other high-level treasure tokens.

Xiao Shi felt that if he made a kill through the luck increase brought by the Blood Luck Pill... perhaps there would be hope of dropping those high-level treasure tokens!

To be able to drop higher-level treasure tokens,

he didn't choose to kill Blood Martial Realm Vicious Beasts, but instead chose to kill Martial Soul Grade Vicious Beasts, thinking the hope of dropping high-level treasure tokens would be greater this way.

Now, after taking out the Blood Luck Pill, Xiao Shi did not hesitate at all.

Chirp!

He crushed it directly.

The use of this pill did not require swallowing.

One only needed to crush it with their palm.

And at the moment he crushed the Blood Luck Pill,

Xiao Shi's figure shot out like a sharp arrow, charging toward the Sword-backed Beast in front of him at maximum speed.

He knew that the luck increase brought by the Blood Luck Pill lasted for a limited time.

He had to be fast!

The gale whipped up by Xiao Shi's sprint caused the Sword-backed Beasts below to all raise their heads, sensing Xiao Shi's attack immediately.

These Sword-backed Beasts all possessed very strong sensory abilities.

Sneak attacks were unlikely to work on them.

Their eyes began to fill with bloodlust and ferocity.

They let out low growls.

The sword-like spikes on their backs suddenly shot out with an explosive force.

They created sharp, air-tearing sonic booms.

These spikes were two meters long, and each one carried terrifying power.

However, Xiao Shi did not sense any danger from these incoming spikes.

He continued his downward charge as before, not even bothering to dodge or change his trajectory.

The flying spikes shot past him on all sides, with not a single one touching his body.

This was why he hadn't felt any sense of crisis... it wasn't because the spikes lacked power.

On the contrary.

Any single one of these spikes possessed enough formidable power to kill any Blood Martial Realm martial artist.

But the moment they were fired.

Xiao Shi had a strong feeling that these sharp spikes would not hit him.

Sure enough.

The spikes all flew past him.

"Under the influence of good luck, there's even an effect like this?"

Xiao Shi was somewhat stunned by this.

He hadn't expected that having high luck would result in an effect where ten thousand arrows could pass through without a single leaf touching him... and this scene.

Similarly, the Sword-backed Beasts below were also dazed.

The sharp spikes on their backs had always been their powerful finishing move.

It would be one thing if only one or two spikes missed.

But for so many spikes to miss... this was very bizarre!

They had never encountered such a situation!

Without the threat of these spikes, Xiao Shi charged straight down and appeared in front of one of the Sword-backed Beasts.

Although these Sword-backed Beasts were massive, Xiao Shi knew that their Physical Body defenses were quite average.

In particular, the front of their bodies had always been their most vulnerable part.

If it were before entering the Myriad Treasure Pagoda, Xiao Shi might have found it difficult to deal with these Sword-backed Beasts.

But now... Boom!

An explosive boom suddenly erupted from Xiao Shi's body.

The Dong Kui Bloodline within him instantly activated.

His pupils turned silver-white, and a silver-white cross mark appeared on his forehead.

His body suddenly expanded.

It expanded all the way to five meters, matching the height of these Sword-backed Beasts.

This was precisely the combat form after the Dong Kui Clansman's Bloodline Awakening!

He raised his hand.

Countless green veins, like tree roots, crisscrossed and covered his entire right hand.

The power within his body surged uncontrollably and wildly.

In an instant.

In its surge, it exceeded his current body's tolerance limit.

Pfft!

His chest instantly burst open.

A large amount of blood flowed out, dyeing his body red.

However, Xiao Shi was not affected in the slightest.

His entire right hand grabbed toward the Sword-backed Beast in front of him with incredible speed.

During this process.

Bursts of explosions continuously sounded from his arm.

That was because the power he had condensed in his arm was too strong, causing his entire arm to constantly rupture because it couldn't withstand the force.

Flesh and blood flew everywhere.

Blood splattered.

Yet Xiao Shi felt no sensation.

In a flash of light.

Pfft!

His entire right hand had already seized the Sword-backed Beast's neck.

He squeezed violently!

Boom!!

Violent power exploded from Xiao Shi's palm.

Even the Sword-backed Beast's thick and hard neck was fragile enough to be blown to pieces under his grip.

But similarly.

Xiao Shi's body was also covered in wounds under the Grip of Mutual Shattering.

However, his body was just a corpse; even the most severe injuries had no effect on him.

After killing this Sword-backed Beast with lightning speed, he immediately turned to attack another Sword-backed Beast.

Clang!

The Sword-backed Beast in front of him had already raised its claws.

Four sharp claws popped out like unsheathed blades.

They whistled as they smashed toward Xiao Shi.

However, just as they were about to hit Xiao Shi.

Swish!

Xiao Shi's figure suddenly flashed to the side.

Pfft!

The falling claw strike of this Sword-backed Beast happened to hit another Sword-backed Beast behind Xiao Shi.

This caused both Sword-backed Beasts to be momentarily stunned.

Although there was no cooperation between them, they shouldn't have made such a low-level mistake.

They felt that things were a bit sinister today!

But they couldn't say where the problem was.

Xiao Shi took the opportunity to use the Grip of Mutual Shattering again.

Although this caused wound after wound to burst open on his body, the explosion of power under the Grip of Mutual Shattering allowed him to directly collapse and shatter the Sword-backed Beast's entire chest after grabbing it.

At the same time, Xiao Shi used the Tremor Origin Step, carrying an alarming vibration. As he passed by one of the Sword-backed Beasts, he stepped directly beneath it.

The resulting powerful shock directly shattered the Sword-backed Beast's legs.

Subsequently, it died instantly under Xiao Shi's grip.

Xiao Shi's current combat power was formidable.

The combat form after activating his Bloodline, along with the powerful lethality of the Grip of Mutual Shattering and Tremor Origin Step, allowed him to kill all five of these Sword-backed Beasts, whose strength was comparable to the Martial Soul Realm, in an instant!

"It was quite a bit easier than I imagined..."

Xiao Shi's eyes shone with an unusual light.

Although he was now severely injured, with no part of his body intact.

His heart was incredibly excited.

He knew the reason it was so easy.

It was mainly because his luck at this moment was at an explosive level.

But he hadn't expected luck to have such a huge impact on combat.

In fact, the Sword-backed Beasts' strongest move was the sharp spikes on their backs.

Without this Heaven-Defying luck.

Facing those whistling spikes, he would have had to use the Grip of Mutual Shattering to be sure of countering them.

However, the greatest threat was directly avoided by him with Heaven-Defying luck.

Without these spikes, it was very easy to deal with the Sword-backed Beasts.

Xiao Shi looked at the corpses on the ground.

Next was the most critical moment.

Regarding the idea of using the Blood Luck Pill to get high-level treasure tokens to drop, it was only a speculation; he wasn't absolutely certain.

After all, what was needed to exchange for the fragment of the celestial compass was at least a fifth-Rank treasure token.

Even with the boost in luck.

It might not necessarily drop such a high-level treasure.

Perhaps it would just drop a treasure token one Rank higher... "I hope it goes as I wish."

Xiao Shi took a deep breath.

He went straight to pick up the treasure token on the ground.

Information regarding the treasure token appeared in his vision.

[Name: purple treasure plate]

[Type: Token]

[Grade: None]

[Description: A treasure token originating from the Myriad Treasure Pagoda. It has the effect of containing items. Based on the value of the items contained within the treasure token, it can be exchanged for any treasure of equal value in the Myriad Treasure Pagoda.]

[Remarks: This item can only exist within the Realm. Once it leaves the Realm, the item will disappear.]

..."It worked!"

Xiao Shi's heart was filled with excitement.

Although he didn't know which Rank the purple treasure plate was, he noticed the point that it could be exchanged for any treasure of equal value in the Myriad Treasure Pagoda!

In other words.

As long as it was a treasure inside the Myriad Treasure Pagoda.

No matter which floor it was on, the purple treasure plate could be used for the exchange!!

This was a type of treasure token that had no floor restrictions and could exchange for all treasures!

However.

The exchange method for the purple treasure plate could only be done for items of equal value.

To exchange for the fragment of the celestial compass, he would have to produce an item of equal value to the fragment of the celestial compass.

Xiao Shi frowned at this.

None of the items on him were of equal value to the fragment of the celestial compass.

Although the purple treasure plate was not limited to containing just one item.

It could contain many items at the same time, and then the values of all these items would be accumulated together for the calculation.

But even if he put all the items he had into the purple treasure plate now, everything combined would definitely not reach the value of the fragment of the celestial compass.

This was quite a headache.

"Unless..."

A key point suddenly occurred to Xiao Shi.

Swish!

He directly took out a box.

It was precisely... the locked tianji box!

"If I can open an item from the heavenly secret box now that is of equal value to the fragment of the celestial compass, then there's hope!!"
