Chapter 1009: An Ancient Invincible Corpse Has Appeared! (3)

Despite his efforts, Su Yu had not been able to find an ancient spatial pocket. He had no choice but to fake that as well. His alternative? A character. Yes. He could shatter a spatial-related character to produce the same result. And his beast character was one such character. That was something only beastmasters were supposed to have. Su Yu didn't even know how such a character took form in his sea of willpower.

That was a character with its own storage space. Thus, shattering this character could probably produce undulations similar to what would appear when spatial pockets were shattered. That character had reached the third tier.

And since ancient spatial pockets were quite fragile, the undulations generated should probably similar in strength to a peak third-tier character. Since the undulations wouldn't last for long, he didn't need to worry about anyone performing a deeper investigation on them.

Su Yu cursed.

This was his first time crushing his own character. So be it. His plan seemed to be getting more and more expensive as he had to sacrifice a peak third-tier character for it as well. This would be a massive loss if he failed to earn a profit large enough from his scam.

He continued diving deeper. And the fake battle continued around him. None of the spectators had the courage to approach the two combatants. They were very amazed at the strength and stamina displayed by the two. Even after such a long time, they were still able to maintain the combat strength of Mountainseas. They were truly worthy of being called geniuses.

Abruptly, a series of spatial undulations came from deep underwater. The undulations weren't intense, but they were obvious enough for everyone to notice.

At the same time.

A roar rang out from under the sea, "That's mine!"

It was Tianduo's voice.

"Topsoil Spirit, you dare? Devil's Descend!"

Boom!

The projection of an ancient devil descended from the sky. Next, an incomparably powerful burst of devilish qi erupted.

"Tianduo, how dare you monopolize this discovery alone?"

Right at that moment, a powerful pressure spread out.

Tianduo's voice rang out again, "This...Invincible...no, pseudo Invincible..."

All the surrounding experts started fleeing madly. What was that? What a powerful aura. What a heavy presence. While everyone was fleeing, a massive figure appeared in the sky. It was Tianduo. Dragging a gigantic corpse behind him, he roared and threw a punch.

The sea roiled violenty. Deep underwater, an indistinct earth elemental was revealed as the water around him started evaporating.

After coughing a mouthful of brown blood, he roared, "Tianduo, don't even dream of monopolizing this yourself! Everyone, listen to me! Tianduo has obtained an ancient Invincible corpse! Also on the corpse is an ancient heaven weapon! I even saw an ancient cultivation method and ancient character on the corpse..."

Boom!

Up in the sky, Tianduo threw more and more punches at the sea. Then, with a roar, he squeezed the corpse into his storage ring and started fleeing without any hesitation. He was fleeing underwater.

And down below, a stream of water moved rapidly to give chase. That seemed to be Topsoil Spirit. A furious roar rang out, "Leave the Invincible corpse! Tianduo, you won't be able to escape!"

In the blink of an eye, the two vanished without a single trace. Everyone who was present earlier had clearly sensed the powerful pressence emitted by the corpse. With the two combatants gone, one figure after another appeared and dove into the sea.

Deep under the sea, a small spatial pocket was spinning rapidly, creating violent currents of water around it. At a closer look, water was actually madly streaming into the spatial pocket. The spatial pocket was collapsing, and one ancient item after another was being thrown out of it.

"Heavens!"

"Ancient spatial pocket!"

"That corpse earlier...did anyone feel its aura?"

"Yes. It was very powerful. Even after so many years of death, its presence was still as strong as a late-stage Sunmoon..."

They were greatly shocked. An Invincible corpse? The cultivation method of an Invincible? And a heaven weapon? The battle between Tianduo and Topsoil Spirit had actually caused the collapse of an ancient spatial pocket. Suddenly, someone exclaimed in surprise after picking up a quiver. A large number of people instantly appeared around him.

Noticing their gaze, that person hurriedly explained, "This is probably an ancient quiver..."

He hurriedly removed the lid of the quiver...

Several crude and simple arrows revealed themselves. Someone said, "Quick, check the grade..."

The person with the quiver hurriedly sent some source qi into the arrow. Immediately, eighty-two golden stripes appeared on the arrow. But after a split second, ten of the stripes shattered...

Only seventy-two golden stripes were left. All the people there were stunned. They were greatly shocked. This was an ancient weapon. A middle-tier earth-grade weapon. Was this a joke?

This was an arrow. A one-use item. Heavens! What did this signify? In short, this ancient expert was someone who had used earth-grade consumables. Sure, after so many years, the arrow had dropped to the profound grade. But it was still extremely valuable.

There were four arrows in total. Combined, they were probably comparable to an actual earth weapon in worth.

One ought to remember that earth weapons were rare for even Mountainseas. Not every Mountainsea could afford earth weapons. But here, something comparable in value had appeared.

The Mountainsea who had picked up the quiver said nothing and fled without hesitation. He had never expected that he would get something like this out of nowhere.

At that moment, a different voice rang out, "That corpse earlier...a bow was hanging on its back..."

Great shock rippled across the crowd.

If even the arrows were middle-tier earth weapons, what about the bow? Was that an ancient expert archer? Was that an Invincible? That must be the case, right? Not even Sunmoons would be willing to actually use earth weapons as consumables.

Some of them started pursuing the person with the quiver. The rest started searching the area for other treasures. They were picking up anything they saw regardless of what it was. One of them even found an ancient city medallion. It wasn't an inner-ring medallion, but that person was still overjoyed. He hurriedly fled with the medallion.

"Chase him!"

"The most valuable treasure of this collapsing spatial pocket is the corpse, but it has been taken away by Tianduo."

"Tianduo has an ancient Invincible corpse in his possession!"

"..."

Rumors started spreading. The people who had failed to get anything from the collapsed ancient spatial pocket started heading toward Ninestar Island. An unbelievably massive opportunity had appeared.

Heaven weapon. Ancient cultivation method. Invincible corpse. And many other treasures. Tianduo of the original devil race had obtained all those items. As for Topsoil Spirit, he had fled after his battle with Tianduo before vanishing deep under the sea.

***

Before long, the entire Ninestar Island went wild.

During a battle between Tianduo and Topsoil Spirit, an ancient spatial pocket had collapsed. A complete ancient Invincible corpse was discovered. According to the witnesses, that corpse was still able to emanate an incredibly powerful presence even after so many years of death.

That was the corpse of an ancient master archer with a heaven-grade bow. Even the arrows used by the ancient master were earth weapons. A lucky individual had discovered the arrows before fleeing with them.

One of the witnesses swore solemnly, "That might be an ancient divine skywing expert, the same expert from the myths that had killed an Invincible with an arrow."

"When the spatial pocket collapsed, the sky itself changed colors. Even after so many years, the corpse's presence was still more powerful than a ninth-stage Sunmoon's..."

"The heaven weapon seemed to still be inactive, yet it was able to release an alarmingly intense killing intent."

"I also sensed the aura of a character. The character of that ancient expert might still exist. The sea of willpower of that ancient expert has yet to fully collapse..."

"..."

𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

Rumors started spreading all over Ninestar Island.

One original devil expert after another appeared. The experts of the various races could be seen soaring into the sky before vanishing. They had to prevent the original devils from laying their hands on all those treasures.

An ancient Invincible corpse?

In truth, over the years, not a single ancient Invincible corpse had been discovered. This was applicable to all the races in existence. Even with the numerous ancient ruins in the Human Realm, not a single ancient human Invincible corpse had been found.

***

Thus, even the human race was stirred into action by the rumors.

Zhu Guangshen gave his order, "Investigate. Track Tianduo."

"We need to get that corpse. Even if it's not the corpse of an Invincible, it is most definitely the corpse of a super expert."

People on Ninestar Island, people on Red Clouds Island, people from everywhere near the area started heading toward the place where the corpse was discovered.

It was very likely that the corpse would show one a clear path toward dao affirmation. That was an ancient Invincible. Even if no other treasures were found apart from the corpse and the heaven weapon, this discovery was still something worth fighting to the death for.

***

At the same time.

Su Yu took out Tianduo's index copy. It was vibrating intensely.

"Tianduo, sell your discovery to the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion. We're offering a hundred drops...no, three hundred drops of sunmoon profound yellow liquid for it!"

Su Yu tossed the index copy away. He laughed in amusement. Wow. They sure were rich. That price was enough to purchase nine hundred strands of heavenearth profound light. But it was very likely they would be able to discover that this was a scam. Thus, he refused to deal with them.

The Heavenly Hunt Pavilion was too mysterious. He would rather not take this gamble. He continued moving rapidly. He was going to disappear for a bit and let everyone simmer for a bit before reappearing.
