270: Chapter 270 Immortal Artifact Appears, Everyone Ignores It

In the deathly silence of the chaotic void, there was no light and no direction, only the suffocating presence of pure destruction.

"Rumble—!!!"

Streaks of purple-black destructive lightning, as thick as mountains, were like world-ending mad dragons emerging from the Nine Serenity Hell, raging wildly in the bottomless darkness. Accompanhed by the roar of thunder, countless invisible and formless void cracks, like the scythes of the Grim Reaper, silently sliced through the surroundings.

Any single bolt of lightning striking down or any crack slicing through contained a terrifying power sufficient to instantly turn an Emperor Realm expert into ashes and smoke.

Within such an absolute forbidden zone for life, the myriad things mother qi cauldron was like a small boat, swaying in a violent storm yet remaining extremely resilient.

The precious cauldron floated in mid-air, and the sun, moon, stars, mountains, rivers, and plants engraved upon its body erupted with an extremely brilliant chaotic immortal light. Billions of wisps of mysterious yellow mother qi fell like a heavy waterfall, forming an absolutely indestructible defensive barrier.

"Dang, dang, dang, dang!"

The incomparably violent void turbulence and destructive lightning from the outside world madly bombarded the mother qi barrier, erupting into extremely dense sounds of metal clashing.

Inside the barrier, the four people and three beasts leaned closely against the protection of the myriad things mother qi cauldron, not even daring to breathe loudly.

Everyone was fully concentrated, pushing their Divine Sense to its absolute limit, remaining deathly alert to the lethal dangers that could descend at any moment.

Gu Hongchen held the biluo emperor sword and sat cross-legged on the edge of the soft couch. She watched the purple-black lightning outside the barrier easily tearing through the void, her beautiful face filled with an extremely solemn expression.

Even though she was a genuine True Immortal Realm Expert, she still felt waves of trepidation from the depths of her Divine Soul at this moment in the chaotic void.

Suddenly.

Gu Hongchen's gaze swept extremely sharply toward the Ice Spirit Snow Ape King, who was crouching in front and acting as the vanguard.

Her brows furrowed tightly as an extremely keen doubt flashed through her mind.

"Wait."

Gu Hongchen abruptly turned her head, her beautiful eyes like two unsheathed sharp swords, staring fixedly at the Snow Ape King's mountain-like body.

"Big guy!"

Gu Hongchen questioned sharply and abruptly, her voice carrying the absolute pressure of a True Immortal Realm Expert.

"You vowed before that you had traversed this chaotic void multiple times, traveling back and forth between the Extreme Cold Ice Domain and the Heavenly Court Ruins?"

The Snow Ape King was startled by Gu Hongchen's sudden questioning. Its massive body stiffened slightly, and it turned its head back in extreme confusion.

"Yes... yes, Miss Hongchen, what's wrong?"

Gu Hongchen sneered, and the biluo emperor sword in her hand let out an extremely crisp sword hum.

"What's wrong?"

She suddenly stood up, pointing her finger at the extreme destruction outside the barrier, her tone extremely sharp.

"Do you take me for a three-year-old child! In this chaotic void, even a True Immortal Realm Expert like me could lose my life at any moment if not for the protection of Old Ancestor Su's precious cauldron!"

Gu Hongchen pressed closer step by step, staring intently into the Snow Ape King's eyes.

"You are merely a half-step True Immortal Rank Vicious Beast. No matter how powerful your Physical Body is, you absolutely cannot withstand the strangulation of that destructive lightning and those void cracks!"

"On what basis can you come and go freely in such a forbidden zone for life multiple times? This simply defies common sense!"

Gu Hongchen's extremely rigorous logical analysis was like a heavy hammer, instantly waking everyone inside the cauldron.

"That's right!"

Ji Luanxi also reacted. She poked half her head out from Su Xuanchen's arms, her watery big eyes full of suspicion.

"Sister Hongchen has a point! No matter how thick your skin is, big monkey, it can't be harder than those void cracks, right? Are you hiding something from us!"

Chang Xiyue also furrowed her delicate brows, an extremely dangerous cold light flashing in her cool eyes. Her hand had already naturally rested on her sword hilt; if this Snow Ape dared to make even the slightest suspicious move, she would definitely strike without hesitation.

For a moment, the gazes of the group were like tangible blades, all converging simultaneously on the Snow Ape King.

The atmosphere instantly became extremely heavy.

Faced with such sharp questioning and suspicion from everyone, the Ice Spirit Snow Ape King's Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering in fear on the spot.

Its mountain-like body shook violently like chaff, its legs trembling so much it almost knelt on the ground.

"Great Immortal! Two young misses! Miss Hongchen! I've been wronged!"

The Snow Ape King's coarse, broken-gong-like voice was filled with extremely intense fear and grievance.

It feared that if Su Xuanchen became unhappy, he would directly activate the myriad things mother qi cauldron to crush it into meat paste, so it didn't dare to delay for a moment.

"little monkey has absolutely not told a single lie! I can traverse this void entirely because of the supreme treasure protecting my body!"

To prove its innocence, the Snow Ape King suddenly opened its bloody mouth full of fangs.

It beat its chest in extreme pain, madly activating its Origin power.

"Buzz—!!!"

Accompanied by two extremely dazzling streaks of brilliant immortal light, two treasures emitting terrifying pressure were forcibly forced out of its body!

The first item was the snow-white ice soul pearl that Su Xuanchen had previously looked down upon, which emitted an extremely terrifying Law of extreme cold!

The second item was a simple and ancient giant bell, dark gold in color, with its surface engraved with countless defensive runes of the Ancient Heavenly Court—the Xuanhuang Bell!

As soon as these two treasures appeared.

An extremely heavy and pure High Grade Immortal Artifact pressure erupted within the cauldron's space like a violent storm or tsunami!

"Hiss—"

Gu Hongchen sucked in a breath of cold air, her beautiful eyes instantly widening into circles, her pupils undergoing an extremely violent earthquake.

"High Grade Immortal Artifacts! And two of them!"

Gu Hongchen screamed inwardly, her scalp tingling.

She stared fixedly at that Xuanhuang Bell, her breathing becoming extremely hurried. This was a genuine High Grade defensive Immortal Artifact! If placed in the outside Xuanhuang Great World, any one of them would be enough to trigger a bloody storm sweeping across the entire world, making countless True Immortal ancestors fight until their heads bled!

The Snow Ape King very carefully held these two supreme treasures with its giant claws, explaining tremulously.

"Miss Hongchen, please see! This ice soul pearl can freeze void turbulence, and this Xuanhuang Bell can withstand destructive lightning!"

It swallowed its saliva, its voice trembling violently.

"Back then, little monkey relied on these two High Grade Immortal Artifacts picked up from the Heavenly Court Ruins to barely survive in this chaotic void and find a way out!"

While explaining, the Snow Ape King's crimson eyes were filled with extremely intense apprehension and tension.

It was terrified to the extreme.

"It's over, it's over, wealth shouldn't be revealed! These are two top-tier supreme treasures! Will the Great Immortal see the treasures and decide to kill me to seize them?"

The Snow Ape King madly imagined a tragic scene in its mind where Su Xuanchen would crush its head with one palm and forcibly take the Immortal Artifacts. Cold sweat poured down its body like a waterfall, and it didn't even dare to take a breath.

It used the corner of its eye to peek extremely warily at Su Xuanchen, who was lying on the soft couch.

However.

The scene that followed left this half-step True Immortal Rank giant beast, which had lived for countless eons, in a state of complete, life-doubting daze.

"Just this?"

Ji Luanxi curled her lips in extreme disdain.

She looked at the two High Grade Immortal Artifacts in the Snow Ape King's hands, which were emitting terrifying pressure. Her beautiful face showed not a hint of greed or shock, but was instead filled with boredom.

"I thought it was some kind of incredible treasure. This broken pearl is cold and icy, and this broken bell is dusty and dull. It's so ugly."

Ji Luanxi took out a top-grade spirit fruit Su Xuanchen had given her from her storage ring and took a crisp bite.

"It's not even as pretty as the fruit my husband peeled for me. What a waste of expectation."

Chang Xiyue was also extremely calm.

Her cool eyes merely swept over the two High Grade Immortal Artifacts with extreme casualness before she indifferently withdrew her gaze and continued to rest with her eyes closed, not even having the interest to ask a single question.

As for Su Xuanchen.

The Su Family Ancestor, whom the Snow Ape King was so wary of that it feared he would kill for the goods.

At this moment, he was leaning lazily on the soft couch, his left hand casually playing with Ji Luanxi's smooth, long black hair.

From the moment the Snow Ape King took out the two High Grade Immortal Artifacts, Su Xuanchen had not even lifted an eyelid from beginning to end!

He didn't even bother to give them a perfunctory glance.

It was as if those two High Grade Immortal Artifacts, which could make all the True Immortals in the Xuanhuang Great World fight madly and even trigger a world-ending war, were nothing more than two ordinary rotten stones on the side of the road in Su Xuanchen's eyes, not worthy of dirtying his sight.

"This..."

Holding the two High Grade Immortal Artifacts, the Snow Ape King was completely stunned on the spot.

Its ferocious ape face was filled with an extremely comical helplessness. Its massive body was frozen in place, like a weathered ice sculpture.

"Not... not going to steal them?"

The Snow Ape King's brain entered a brief state of shutdown.

It originally thought everyone would have eyes shining with greed upon seeing these two supreme treasures. In the end, not only did they not steal them, they didn't even want to waste time looking at them!

This extremely strong psychological gap caused waves of shock to rise in the Snow Ape King's heart.

But after only three breaths of time.

The Snow Ape King suddenly looked up, glancing at the myriad things mother qi cauldron above its head, which was raining down billions of wisps of mysterious yellow mother qi and emitting a terrifying pressure that suppressed the All Heavens and Myriad Realms.

It instantly realized everything!

"Slap!"

The Snow Ape King gave itself a metaphorical slap in the face in its mind, feeling extremely annoyed, and almost couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"I'm such an idiot!"

It madly mocked its own lack of experience in its mind.

"The Great Immortal holds a supreme treasure that completely transcends the category of Immortal Artifacts and can even easily suppress the chaotic void! What difference is there between my two pieces of scrap metal and trash in his eyes?!"

"He doesn't even bother to look, and yet I was worried the Great Immortal would kill me for them? It's simply the biggest joke in the world!"

Having completely figured this out.

The heavy stone in the Snow Ape King's heart finally fell to the ground.

It very swiftly retracted the Xuanhuang Bell back into its body, leaving only the ice soul pearl.

"Great Immortal! Two young misses!"

The Snow Ape King shouted in an extremely sycophantic manner, completely letting go of all its defenses.

It unhesitatingly activated the ice soul pearl in its hand, and an extremely terrifying Law of extreme cold instantly swept out, actively helping the myriad things mother qi cauldron resist the surrounding wildly slicing void turbulence.

"little monkey will contribute now, and definitely won't cause any trouble for the Great Immortal!"

Watching the Snow Ape King's comical and obsequious behavior.

Gu Hongchen, standing to the side, still maintained her cool and steady posture on the surface.

But in reality, her heart had long since been tossed by an unquenchable storm!

"Even a Spirit Beast guarding the gate can casually take out two High Grade Immortal Artifacts!"

Gu Hongchen gripped the biluo emperor sword tightly, her knuckles turning white from the excessive force.

"Then in the core area of the Ancient Heavenly Court, in the Divine Treasury personally sealed by the Empress back then, what kind of terrifying and massive amount of Immortal Treasures must be hidden?!"

Thinking of this, Gu Hongchen felt her breathing become extremely hot.

She looked up at the endless darkness of the chaotic void ahead, her eyes no longer filled with the previous fear and apprehension, replaced by an extremely intense, even somewhat crazy, heat and desire!

At this moment, the Ice Spirit Snow Ape King suddenly spoke up to remind them that they were approaching the depths of the chaotic void, where the void cracks and destructive lightning would be even more terrifying, and told everyone to be doubly careful.
