Countless cyan chains emerged from the void, binding the crimson puppet firmly in place.
"Everyone, hurry up!"
Venerable Wind Spirit gave a loud reminder.
"Final blow!"
Seizing the opportunity, Xingchen ignited all the star patterns on his battle blade, gathering all his strength, and fiercely slashed towards the northern array eye!
"Break it for me!"
"Crack——!"
Finally, with everyone's combined efforts, the four array eyes collapsed simultaneously! The movements of the thirty-six puppets suddenly stopped, the red light in their eyes went out, and their massive bodies came to a sudden halt.
Emptiness returns to silence.
All the powerful figures were slightly out of breath, cautiously observing their surroundings.
Venerable Fengling sheathed his spear and said calmly, "The formation is broken."
The Purple Soul Venerable chuckled, "Then next..."
Before she could finish speaking, the portal on the surface of the golden planet suddenly opened completely, and a wave that was even more ancient and terrifying than before swept out!
The treasure vault has finally been fully opened!
The Shadow Annihilation Venerable's golden vertical pupils flashed, and he gave a sinister smile: "Everyone, from now on, it's up to each of you to rely on your own abilities!"
Before he finished speaking, he had already transformed into a streak of silver light and rushed towards the entrance of the treasure vault!
Chapter 123 Treasure Vault, Hundreds of Treasures!
With the treasure vault's doors wide open, powerful figures from all sides rushed in, fearing that being a step too slow would mean missing out on the opportunity.
Venerable Fengling transformed into a beam of azure light and vanished into the gate in an instant. Venerable Yingmie grinned as he tore through space, leading the demon race in close pursuit. Venerable Zihun, her purple gauze dress fluttering, glanced back at the star still standing in place, her red lips slightly parted, as if in doubt.
"Grey Blade Venerable, if we don't go in now, all the good stuff will be gone!"
She chuckled softly, but seeing that Xingchen remained unmoved, she didn't delay any longer. With a wave of her jade hand, she led the Zerg Alliance into a streak of light and rushed into the treasure vault.
The Azure Nether Venerable stood beside Xingchen and whispered, "Master, shall we not go in?"
Xingchen did not answer, his gaze fixed on the lifeless puppets on the ground.
These dark golden mechanical constructs floated silently in the void, their bodies covered with ancient and mysterious runes. Even though they had stopped operating, they still emitted a chilling aura.
"A puppet at the level of a high-ranking Venerable..."
Xingchen thought to himself.
"If we can analyze their structure, we might be able to reproduce this technology and create new ones."
A glint of light flashed in his eyes.
Puppetry is not uncommon in the universe, especially among the mechanical race. Their puppets are renowned throughout the cosmos, but to create puppets comparable to those of high-ranking Venerables, and even to form battle formations that unleash the power of a cosmic overlord, is truly top-tier technology! If he could analyze it, it would greatly enhance his power.
With that thought, Xingchen no longer hesitated. He waved his right hand, and a spatial fluctuation enveloped the nearest puppet, attempting to take it into his world ring.
however.
"Ok?"
Xingchen frowned. The puppet remained completely still; the spatial power of the World Ring couldn't contain it!
"It can't be stored in the World Ring?"
He was surprised.
"Do the materials or internal structure of these puppets interfere with space storage?"
Seeing this, Venerable Qingming said in a low voice, "Master, should I try?"
Xingchen shook her head: "No need."
He glanced around, and after confirming that everyone's attention was focused on the entrance to the treasure vault and that they had already entered, a slight smile appeared on his lips.
"Since the World Ring doesn't work, let's try another way."
With a thought, Xingchen quietly opened the entrance to the miniature universe within his body in his palm.
Although the miniature universe gestating within him was not as perfect as the original universe, it was more than enough to contain these puppets.
An invisible suction force emanated from his palm, and the thirty-six puppets transformed into streams of light, disappearing into his miniature universe.
The entire process was silent and did not cause any energy fluctuations. Even the Azure Nether Venerable, who was closest to the scene, only felt a slight spatial ripple.
"receive."
Xingchen closed his palms, shutting down the entrance to his miniature universe. He sensed with satisfaction the neatly arranged puppets within his inner universe; to him, these puppets were invaluable treasures!
A hint of surprise flashed in Venerable Qingming's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure. He had also entered the Starry Sky Miniature Universe before, so he naturally guessed what Starry Sky was doing.
"Let's go."
Xingchen said calmly.
"It's time to go and meet with those allies."
His wings unfurled, carrying Qingming towards the entrance of the treasure vault.
Inside the treasure vault, Venerable Purple Soul was walking through a long golden corridor.
The surrounding walls were covered with ancient runes, radiating a chilling aura. A hint of doubt flashed in her purple eyes: "Strange, what exactly is Grayblade up to?"
Based on her understanding of Xingchen, the other party was definitely not the kind of person who would easily give up the initiative.
They deliberately slowed down just now; they must have had another purpose in mind.
"Could it be..."
She suddenly remembered something and turned to look towards the entrance.
"Those puppets?"
But then she shook her head and chuckled: "Impossible. Those puppets are very special and cannot be stored in the World Ring at all. Besides, these puppets are impossible to replicate."
Having come up with no results, she stopped thinking about it.
The most urgent task now is to gather treasures.
As Xingchen and Qingming stepped into the treasure vault, the sight before them was breathtaking—
The entire treasure vault was vast and boundless, resembling an independent universe. Hundreds of dazzling golden spheres floated within, each as radiant as a small star, emanating a chilling energy fluctuation. Inside the spheres, the outlines of various treasures were vaguely visible: armor, spears, swords, wings… without exception, all were of the highest caliber!
"So many precious treasures..."
The Azure Netherworld Venerable's pupils contracted slightly.
Xingchen's gaze swept across the area and he discovered that many Venerables from weaker races were frantically attacking the golden orbs of light.
Each attack causes ripples on the surface of the light sphere, but to shatter it completely requires at least a full-force strike from a High-Ranking Venerable.
"boom!"
Not far away, a venerable being resembling an octopus simultaneously struck a sphere of light with its eight tentacles, finally shattering it. A battle halberd, entirely azure blue, flew out from it, radiating a chilling aura.
"Hahaha, a top-grade treasure!"
The Octopus Venerable was overjoyed and reached out with his tentacles to collect it.
"court death!"
A flash of silver light appeared, and a Venerable of the Sirius Clan suddenly made a move, his sharp claws tearing through space and severing the three tentacles of the Octopus Venerable!
Amidst screams, the battle halberd was snatched away by the Sirius Clan's Venerable. Similar struggles unfolded around the various orbs of light, throwing the lower levels of the treasure vault into chaos.
But Xingchen's gaze did not linger there.
He didn't care about such a trivial treasure.
He looked up at the very top of the treasure vault.
There, three golden orbs, ten times larger than the others, floated silently, like three blazing suns illuminating the entire treasure vault. Ancient runes flowed across their surfaces, and the oppressive aura they emitted caused the surrounding space to distort slightly.
"Treasure!"
The Azure Nether Venerable's breath hitched.
Xingchen narrowed his eyes, and the Dark Universe Wings fluttered slightly: "Just as I thought."
At this moment, the void above the treasure vault has been divided into four opposing factions—
In the east, Venerable Wind Spirit stood in mid-air with three human Venerables, surrounded by azure energy.
In the west, the Shadow Annihilation Venerable and the two Golden Scale Venerables formed a triangular formation, their golden vertical pupils flashing with greedy light.
In the south, Venerable Flame Star and Venerable Profound Ice stood side by side, their two extreme energies, fire and ice, intertwining.
In the north, Venerable Purple Soul, accompanied by four Venerables from the Zerg Alliance, her purple gauze dress fluttering even without wind, still wore a charming smile on her face.
"Everyone."
Venerable Wind Spirit spoke first, his voice cold and clear.
"There are only three supreme treasures, while we, from all four directions..."
"Cut the nonsense!"
The Shadow Annihilation Venerable interrupted with a sinister laugh.
"The strong prey on the weak; it's all about skill!"
Flames surged around Venerable Yanxing: "The Ancestral God Sect needs at least one!"
The Purple Soul Venerable covered his mouth and chuckled: "Oh dear, why are you being so fierce? But since there are only three items, how about..."
Chapter 124 Melee
Her purple eyes swept over the figure of Xingchen who had just arrived.
"How about letting the new friends leave?"
As she spoke, her gaze turned to the human race's camp.
