Chapter 39: Gathering Spirit Essence, Seizing the Treasure Blade_2
She raised her eyebrows and suddenly asked, "What is that?"
"Hmm?"
Just then, Shen Qing noticed strange fluctuations emanating from deep within the ruins.
A flash of white light appeared, moving incredibly fast.
Shen Qing focused intently, activating his "sharp eyesight" Skill.
He clearly saw that wrapped within the white light was a silver spearhead, shooting out spiritedly.
Someone shouted loudly, "It's a Magic Treasure!"
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Soon, streaks of white brilliance burst forth continuously, and more than a dozen could be seen.
Those who had not yet entered the ruins were boiling with excitement.
Countless martial masters recklessly fought to seize them.
Even the noble sons who had been watching from the sidelines couldn't stay calm and rushed in, joining the fierce battle for the treasures.
However, these "Magic Treasures" were extremely elusive, darting about like fish.
They simply couldn't touch them.
Usually composed, Shen Qing, faced with this scene, suddenly felt the urge to try his luck.
His gaze locked onto one of the knife-shaped white lights, and he used the Da Xu Hand to grasp the light. Stay updated via empire
He got it!!!
Shen Qing's face lit up with joy as he pulled the white light in front of him, holding it tightly.
He felt the struggle of the long knife in his hand, trying to break free again.
Shen Qing activated the Six Paths Whale Swallowing Technique, continuously suppressing it.
Finally, the knife settled down and stopped struggling.
Shao Hongling, who was nearby, couldn't help but feel happy for Shen Qing, "That's great."
Shen Qing looked down and saw the knife lying quietly in his hand, resigned to its fate, docile like a lamb.
Gradually, the white brilliance enveloping it dispersed, revealing the true form of the knife.
The knife was over three feet long, meticulously forged from cold iron, with intricate and fine cloud and thunder patterns carved on it, displaying a style from the Ancient Times, distinct from the many other knives of the present.
The handguard was an irregular polygon, and the blade itself was a deep, tranquil cyan.
The spine of the blade was thick, and the edge was as thin as cicada wings, transitioning naturally between the two.
Holding it, Shen Qing felt a stable yet violently brutal aura emerge naturally.
He held the long knife in front of him and performed a flourish, and faint thunder seemed to rumble in the air, making him click his tongue in wonder.
In the sunlight, Shen Qing also noticed a faint blue glow on the blade, as if a Spiritual Snake was moving on it, or like a galaxy pouring down, tremendously beautiful.
The words "Thunder Abyss" were faintly visible.
"What an excellent blade!" Shen Qing couldn't help but exclaim sincerely.
Boom, boom, boom!
Roaring noises came from near the gates of the ruins.
Unbeknownst to them, Xie Rui and Li Wenze had already rushed in, using the Seal and the Ancient Blade in their hands to continually capture the Spiritual Treasures.
Although these two artifacts were labeled with "Fake" and not considered true Magic Treasures, they still contained astonishing power.
As Xie Rui and Li Wenze activated them, ancient patterns on the Seal seemed to come alive.
Each gentle tap accompanied a slight tremor in space, suppressing a cluster of Spiritual Treasure.
The Ancient Blade, with its radiance fully revealed, did the same.
Under the formidable might of these two "Fake Magical Treasures," the lively and fleeing Spiritual Treasures encountered their natural predators, emitting pitiful whimpers and a sense of unwillingness.
Many of them failed to escape the capturing force of the two "Fake Magical Treasures."
Xie Rui and Li Wenze, with one seal and one blade, coordinated flawlessly, gradually bringing this chaotic secret realm under their control.
The ecstatic expressions on their faces said it all: "Hahaha!"
Laughter continued to pour out.
Just then, several people rushed out from deep within the ruins.
They were in a pathetic state, with blood oozing from the corners of their mouths.
Upon closer inspection, two of them were guards brought by the noble sons, each one a cultivator at the Innate Realm and the Spirit Void Realm respectively, both among the strongest of the Jing Luan Assembly.
As soon as they burst out, they shouted, "Run!"
The sound had barely faded when a figure burst forth from the depths of the ruins, like the first light of dawn piercing through the endless ages.
It was a flawless woman, who strode forth confidently with a long sword in hand, surrounded by a faint spiritual light. Every movement she made seemed capable of shaking heaven and earth, her strength was to an extreme extent.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, the woman walked to the entrance of the ruins, her gaze sweeping across the people in front of her, one by one.
Her face was as cold as frost, devoid of any worldly warmth, and her eyes seemed to hold the eternal ice of ages, inspiring awe with just one glance.
Shen Qing had never seen such a perfect woman before.
Her beauty transcended the mundane, making everything around her pale in comparison, even the endless treasures within these ancient ruins seemed insignificant under her brilliance.
It gave Shen Qing an incredibly surreal feeling.
"Ah!"
The person who had burst forth let out a terrified scream upon seeing the woman, unable to hold back.
Just when everyone was puzzled, the perfect woman moved.
She gently lifted her wrist, and the ancient sword in her hand gathered a frigid chill before she brought it down with one slash.
The entrance to the ruins immediately became the line between life and death.
The sword light left an invisible mark in the void, fleeting, sweeping past many martial masters at the doorway.
In the next moment, these martial masters hadn't even had time to show any expression before they dissolved into nothingness, completely disappearing from time.
Even the martial masters of the Spirit Void Realm and Innate Realm were like candles in the wind under this astonishing slash, utterly fragile.
Their protective techniques were like thin paper, crumbling upon contact.
Both their physical bodies and souls, under this destructive power, persisted for a few moments before completely eroding away into eternal nothingness.
Seeing such a scene, everyone was terrified, their souls nearly escaping, and they scrambled to flee outward.
Xie Rui and Li Wenze's expressions changed abruptly, and they hurriedly tried to summon back their "Fake Magical Treasures."
But at that moment, they realized they had lost connection with their magic treasures.
As they were filled with panic, the woman raised her hand and grabbed.
The seal and the ancient blade circulating in mid-air burst apart, and the spiritual treasures they contained broke free, seemingly rejoicing as they circled above the ruins.
Xie Rui and Li Wenze turned pale with shock and turned to run.
Suddenly, the ruins trembled incessantly.
Shen Qing quickly said, "Quick, we need to leave this place now!"
A heavy feeling in his heart, he activated the Great Void Shifting Technique, sparing no second, he channeled all his spiritual power and ran madly.
At that moment, a powerful binding force appeared within the ruins, making the steps of many martial masters and disciples of the Huangtian Sect heavy and difficult.
Shen Qing constantly maneuvered through using the Da Xu Technique.
He glanced back at the woman behind him.
He wasn't sure if it was an illusion, but upon seeing Shen Qing's face, the perfect woman seemed momentarily stunned.
A flicker of unusual expression crossed her cold, frost-like face.
Boom boom boom!
"The seal of the ruins is closing again, run!"
The woman was too terrifying, nobody wanted to die here.
Tens of thousands of martial masters continuously rushed out of the ruins.
Shen Qing moved unhindered, making it to the gap in the seal in one breath, half a step out.
Just then, a strange fluctuation came from within the ruins, and the strength of the seal suddenly increased.
A force beyond resistance appeared on Shen Qing's right arm, and Shao Hongling, whom he was holding, screamed in panic, being swept back by the binding force.
He wanted to turn back and rescue her, but it was already too late.
Boom!
The seal suddenly closed.
Shen Qing narrowly avoided it.
Under everyone's gaze, out of the corner of the ruins emerged a loud rumbling sound, reminiscent of a sinking, colossal ship slowly descending into the ocean depths.
Severe energy fluctuations surged in every direction, and the ground, centered around the ruins, rose up high, forming a circular mountain range.
At first glance, it appeared as if the earth's veins had been pushed upward by some force.
Everything finally settled down.
All the surviving martial masters, seeing the transformed world, felt as if they had been dreaming.
If not for the changed landscape before their eyes, they might have thought themselves in a hurried dream, coming in haste and leaving in haste.
