Chapter 1087 Chapter 1087: A Treasure Beyond God Rank? Not Exactly!
Suddenly, a strange phenomenon appeared before them.
It was a volcano. The flames spewed from inside reached 10,000 meters high in the air, lighting up the sky. Even though they were several thousand meters away, they still felt the terrible scorching heat.
There was a huge nest on the peak of the mountain, with dozens of fire birds circling above it. Each of the fire birds was comparable to a Heavenly Divine Lord Realm martial artist.
On the other side of the mountain was a lake that was as big as a river. There was an island surrounded by mountains at the center of the lake, and within the center of the lake was an ancient castle.
Ye Xiao squinted his eyes and he could vaguely see some shadows inside the castle.
"I sensed a powerful flame power over the volcano. I'm sure there is a treasure over there. Let me go have a look!" A person, who came with Mo Xiaolong, suddenly said as he glanced before turning his head to set his gaze at Mo Xiaolong.
"Ok!" Mo Xiaolong didn't say anything and just agreed. After all, he had promised that other than the supreme treasure, everything else will belong to them.
Just as that person got away...
"Bang!"
An explosion came from the distance. All of them jerked their heads to the front and saw that that person had already started slaying some fire birds. He controlled the power of Flame Law, and every single move of his was imbued with a supreme aura. He was naturally stronger than the fire birds, not to mention that his cultivation level was at a whole different level from those demonic beasts.
It took him only a few seconds to kill all of the fire birds. He then jumped into the volcano.
After that, everyone else sighed and started looking ahead.
"Senior Mo, we two are going to check out the castle over there." Another person said as he stepped forward with one other person.
At this time, Mo Xiaolong said, "I sense something ominous from there, so you two just stay here for a while."
With that, Mo Xiaolong looked at Ye Xiao and Fu Qiankun who nodded their heads and stepped forward. Ye Xiao and Fu Qiankun also decided to explore the castle, for they could also sense something ominous over there.
"Swoosh!"
The three of them then flew toward the castle.
"Ye Xiao, did you sense anything?" Mo Xiaolong was more familiar with Ye Xiao, so he asked Ye Xiao casually as he gazed at the castle.
Ye Xiao frowned. It was true that he could sense something over there, but he did not know what it was.
The three of them arrived above the castle in the lake. Before they could come into the land, a horde of creatures rushed at them from below and started attacking them.
"What is going on? I can't sense anything even though they're fighting over there?" Mo Xioalong frowned and asked, "Could it be that the castle is protected by some sort of formation?"
"No!" Fu Qiankun's eyes glowed and he shook his head, "It should be a God-ranked Weapon."
"A god-ranked weapon?"
Ye Xiao also nodded his head. This time, he answered: "I'm sensing the fluctuation of energy that could only belong to a God-ranked weapon. As far as I can think of, there should be an independent space inside that God-ranked Weapon where demonic beasts are nurtured. And after sensing the invasion of strangers to this land, those demonic beasts must have come out to attack us!"h
Fu Qiankun also nodded in agreement. Mo Xiaolong, of course, had a lot of experience himself. He could also tell that this was most likely the truth here.
But none of them were worried. They continued to move forward while completely ignoring those demonic beasts. They were indifferently taken care of by just the sudden burst of their auras alone.
Very soon, the three of them descended in front of the entrance of the castle. The door had many strange runes carved on them, and the runes were squirming constantly, as if they were not runes but hundreds of thousands of little worms.
"This door is sealed. We have to break the seal before we could enter the castle!" Mo Xiaolong frowned and spoke.
Fu Qiankun thought of something and pointed at the lake, speaking: "I think that God-ranked Treasure might be the key to open the break the seal and open this door. We have to take out that treasure from the bottom of the lake and refine it before we could manipulate its strength and evoke its power to open the door!"
Ye Xiao, on the other hand, kept quiet. If he wanted, he could break the formation easily, but he did not do so.
He was not here to obtain the Empyrean-ranked Treasure or help everyone get their fortune. He was here just to see what kind of Empyrean-ranked treasure it is and how it fairs in front of his Infinity Edge Blade!
He was not prepared to help anyone here.
So, he let them solve their own problems.
His eyes glowed with green light as he looked at the castle. His gaze seemed to pierce through the layers of walls and darted toward the depth of the castle.
He suddenly frowned but the next instant, his eyes glowed, and he muttered: "Soul Destruction!"
Without anyone's knowledge, Ye Xiao killed an extremely powerful soul that was hidden in the depth of the castle.
He did not expect an extremely powerful soul to be hidden at the depth of the castle, in a similar monument they had seen before where a few sentences were written.
This soul was the remnant soul of the Ancient Emperor, the owner of this Inner World.
It looks like that Ancient God laid down a trap before his death in order to come back to life again. He must have known that he will die since he was targeted by the Ancient Samsara God.
Unfortunately, because of Ye Xiao, his plan failed. In fact, even if he had not taken action, that Ancient God would not have been able to forcefully seize either Mo Xiaolong or Fu Qiankun's bodies. After all, both of them were also Ancient Gods.
He also understood that the previous ominous feeling must be coming from that remnant soul. Now that he had solved the hidden danger, there was nothing that could endanger people here.
He first planned not to help anyone, however, since he had already detected the presence of a remnant soul, he casually took action.
Now that he has taken care of the remnant soul, Ye Xiao carefully observed every area inside the castle with the help of his Eyes of Insight, and soon found the so-called Supreme Treasure.
This treasure was a whip. But it was not an Empyrean-ranked Treasure. It was at the most quasi-empyrean ranked treasure. Ye Xiao could feel the breath of chaos from this whip and understood that this whip must have come from Chaos.
This whip was stronger than God-ranked Weapons but far weaker than an Empyrean-ranked Weapon!
Ye Xiao was somewhat disappointed but he did not say anything.
While Ye Xiao was observing the interior of the castle, Fu Qiankun and Mo Xiaolong had already brought the treasure out of the lake. It was a mirror, and there did seem to be an independent space inside the mirror that was nurturing powerful demonic beasts.
Mo Xiaolong took a short hour to refine the Divine Mirror and then brought it in front of the door.
The image of the gate reflected in the mirror, causing it to start shining with green light. The green light fell on the gate and the squirming runes suddenly halted.
And the next instant, along with a creaking sound, the gate slowly opened.
"Let's go inside!" Mo Xiaolong looked at Fu Qiankun and Ye Xiao and spoke.
Fu Qiankun nodded and agreed, but Ye Xiao shook his head. He spoke: "You two should go and explore, who knows other than the Supreme Treasure you are looking for, you two might obtain another opportunity inside."
"I'm not going. I have to go somewhere else!"
As Ye Xiao spoke, without letting them say anything, he suddenly disappeared.
Mo Xiaolong and Fu Qiankun looked at each other with a confused expressions, but they could do nothing at this moment.
Shrugging their shoulders, they stepped inside the castle, ready to explore it. But none of them noticed that the ominous feeling in their heart had disappeared at some point in time.
.....
The next moment Ye Xiao appeared in the core of the world. After that, he once again disappeared and reappeared in the Upper Realm.
It was also at this moment he heard from the Emissary of Heavens again who told him a piece of good news.
Queen took care of Extreme Void Cosmic Dragon, and with the Ninth dragon down, the existence of Ancestral Dragons disappeared completely from the surface of the universe.
Now, until the World Epoch, there was no danger that could threaten the Heavens with its destruction!
