An hour later. The gauntlets pulsed with azure light before fading to plain black. Simultaneously, they resized to fit Ethan's hands snugly.A sense of resonance arose.Ethan clenched his right fist, swinging lightly.Whoosh.A shrill scream pierced the air from just a casual swing, compressing it violently."Oh? Some kind of effect?" Ethan's brows rose slightly. He smashed his fist heavily into the tunnel wall.Boom boom boom.The dull impact resounded as a yard-deep, three-foot wide crater appeared."Heh, triple amplification!" Ethan grinned.Some spirit weapons had special effects like amplification, explosion, penetration. Of those, amplification was the rarest and most difficult.Even ordinary spirit weapons and immortal weapons lacked effects. Those were usually engraved later, carving arrays on the weapon for amplification, explosive damage etc.Just creating a spirit weapon was arduous. One with extra effects was a rarity, easily increasing value over tenfold! In worth, thes
The crowd was thrown into chaos. Everyone knew the terror of magma. Bone Sacrifice cultivators would dissolve instantly without leaving a bubble if they fell in. It was extremely formidable."Run quickly! This side palace is about to collapse!" A Foster family cultivator's face turned pale as he frantically fled towards the only large gate."Hmph!" The purple-clothed assassin let out a cold snort. Even when leaving, he did not forget to grab a handful of top-grade swords. Then he also sped towards the gate."Scared me to death." Dylan Foster was early to spot the opportunity. As soon as he saw the situation was not right, he immediately slipped away.Ethan displayed The Eight Mystical Metamorphoses, his speed no slower than the Bone Sacrifice cultivators flying in the sky. The thousand-zhang distance was merely two breaths. He was the first to rush into the gate.As soon as Ethan stepped into the majestic gate, his eyes were drawn to a stone statue standing next to it.The statue was
Just a small section of the dragon's whiskers was enough to shock Little Mo.The length of each whisker was several thousand zhang. The thickness was comparable to a giant tree that would take ten men to wrap their arms around.Let alone the Azure Dragon's body, just a section of its whisker made a person standing below it seem extremely tiny and needing to look up."This is the Azure Dragon?" Ethan looked at the Azure Dragon in the void incredulously, stunned.Not just him, all the Bone Sacrifice cultivators who came were completely dumbfounded, their souls seeming to tremble.This was just the avatar of the Azure Dragon. Ethan could see clearly that although the size of the avatar in the void was probably not much different from the ancient Azure Dragon, it had lost its vitality. Its dragon eyes were dim without spirit, and its near boundless gigantic dragon body was encircled by countless black iron chains as thick as its whiskers.The huge chains pierced into the dragon's body at
Ethan was shocked.At a rough glance, there did not seem to be much difference between this manor and a normal one. But sensing carefully, one could discover...the force concentration within the manor had reached an extremely terrifying level!The air above the manor was faintly shrouded in a layer of cyan glow!The force was almost substantialized!Looking closely at the manor's walls, pavilions, rockeries, even the foundations...they were all spiritual stones!Everything was made of spiritual stones! An entire manor of spiritual stones!Ethan was astonished.A manor covering at least a square li was actually completely constructed from spiritual stones. How many spiritual stones would that require?Millions? Tens of millions? Hundreds of millions?One had to know, a normal spiritual stone was just palm-sized, about the size of the green bricks used to build mundane houses. How many spiritual stones would it take to build such a large manor?Most importantly, even the foundations of
"A spiritual crystal chamber pot?" Someone immediately recognized it with a single glance, crying out in shock. "This chamber pot is actually spiritual crystal!" Many gazed hotly at the pot Ethan was clutching tightly in his arms."The chamber pot, give it to me." The purple-clothed assassin in the manor's center raised an eyebrow at Ethan and spoke indifferently.Ethan's expression changed.The purple-clothed assassin was also from the Beyond Heaven assassin organization, yet he was still so shameless despite clearly knowing they came from the same origin?A peak Bone Sacrifice assassin and a late Meridian Training cultivator!Was there even a choice?"Give it to me!" The assassin walked over unhurriedly, his tone brooking no objection.Ethan's thoughts raced. What to do? Give it or not? If not, it would inevitably lead to bloodshed, but the assassin's strength...did he stand a chance?Unless it was the Waters of Time, but if the secret of the Waters of Time was exposed..."Humph!"
There were no hidden rooms or mechanisms discovered here, so what was this golden key?Moreover, it was concealed under the chamber pot, hidden so secretly.Why?It was highly likely this key was the core, the crux of this entire spiritual stone manor! Just refining and taking ownership of this key could allow one to completely control the manor!The manor's formations? Remove them.Too troublesome to remove the formations one by one? Just take away the whole manor.Thinking of this possibility, Ethan's eyes suddenly erupted with awe-inspiring radiance.If...it really was so...An entire spiritual stone manor! How many spiritual stones would that be?It could be called a primordial tycoon. Just this one manor probably surpassed the accumulations of many sects and clans with thousands of years of legacy.Of course, it was incomparable to ancient superpowers like the Foster family, Swords Sect, and Emperor Palace Rain Listening Pavilion. After all, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousan
Hearing this, Ethan's expression remained calm on the surface, but his heart was filled with shock.Greedy Mouse? Such an acute sense of smell? I had stored the spiritual stone manor in my Azure Myst Ring, yet he was still able to sniff it out?This is bad. Once discovered, it would surely invoke fury. Even if I hand over the manor now, I'd likely still be hacked to death in anger.Ethan's legs cramped and his stomach churned. Escape was impossible now. Fleeing would only confirm suspicions of the theft and provoke the mob. Besides, could I even get away?Ethan's mind raced as he desperately contemplated a solution.The other cultivators reacted with a mixture of surprise, doubt and excitement."How excellent!" Dylan Foster sneered coldly. "I gave you a chance, but since you didn't appreciate it, I'll oblige you to the bitter end!"As he spoke, Dylan swept his icy gaze over the crowd."Yes, this is how it should be done. I'll be the first to show no mercy once he's exposed!" a round-
"Evidence?" The purple-robed assassin was momentarily taken aback. He had no evidence at all. His accusation of Ethan was based purely on instinct.But how could he convince others with just instinct?Seeing this, Ethan's mind settled as he spoke coldly, "Without proof, cease your reckless claims. Even Greedy Mouse identified you. What more is there to doubt?"The cultivators' gazes shifted between Ethan and the assassin, but most scoffed at the latter. Clearly, few believed his words. "Hand it over!" Dylan Foster stepped forward, one hand outstretched towards the assassin while his eyes drifted into the distance, ignoring him like air.The others slowly closed in on the assassin, weapons drawn.A flash of fierceness appeared then vanished in the assassin's eyes. With a flick of his hand, a blood-red sword emerged.A top-grade spiritual weapon - the Blood Weeping Sword had accompanied the assassin for over a decade, slaughtering countless lives. Its crimson blade emanated an intense,
