Chapter 685: Chapter 679 Hei Sha
“I thought it was sothing else, but it’s just a shoddy book.”
Upon seeing the ancient book floating out, Hei Sha also looked disappointed, for he had expected so rare treasure.
“A shoddy book?”
A trace of mockery appeared on the face of the alien clan elder, “Are you saying that your Human Clan’s Ancient Saint Artifact is a shoddy book? This is the famous Earth Emperor Book, once used by the Three Emperors of yore. Without it, how could we have suppressed the ancient saints of the Bone Clan, the Evil Dragon Clan, and the Soul Clan?”
“Earth Emperor Book?”
Hei Sha was stunned for a mont, then a strong greed surged in his eyes. The Earth Emperor Book was one of the Three Emperors’ Sacred Artifacts. How could he not have heard of it? He just hadn’t expected that this seemingly ordinary ancient book could be the legendary Earth Emperor Book.
Sensing the greed in Hei Sha’s eyes, the alien elder sneered, “Don’t even think about the Earth Emperor Book; keeping it only invites endless troubles. This ti we are here to completely destroy this Human Clan Holy Artifact, to put an end to future threats.”
The alien elder looked at the Earth Emperor Book with utter hatred in his eyes, clearly despising this renowned sacred artifact of the Human Clan.
“Yes, yes, we will follow Master Gu Xuan’s arrangents. But since the Earth Emperor Book is so powerful, how should we destroy it?”
Although Hei Sha had his own thoughts about the Earth Emperor Book, he did not dare to defy the other’s wishes. After all, he was nothing but a subordinate to them.
“This Earth Emperor Book is one of the Three Emperors’ Sacred Artifacts. Ordinary people dreaming of destroying it are delusional, but I ca fully prepared this ti.”
Gu Xuan took a white jade bottle out of the Qiankun Ring, then his lips curled into a sinister smile. He opened the bottle, pouring out a stream of black liquid. As this black liquid t the air, it transford into black mist in mid-air, moving with an almost sentient quality as it rapidly enveloped the location of the Earth Emperor Book.
Hiss, hiss, hiss!
Upon contact with the golden glow surrounding the Earth Emperor Book, the black mist imdiately emitted a soft corroding sound, devouring the golden light little by little, like maggots eating away at it.
“This is the Yellow Spring Holy Water of the Bone Clan, made from our own Holy Object, the Yellow Springs Cauldron. It can corrode any spiritual artifact, and the Earth Emperor Book is no exception.”
Gu Xuan’s lips displayed a chilling smile.
“What to do, it looks like Gu Xuan is determined to destroy the Earth Emperor Book.”
Ye Xuan, hiding in the shadows, carefully concealed his presence. Seeing this scene, he inevitably grew anxious, but he dared not act rashly. After all, the other party had nurous people, and their power was far superior to his. If he rushed out now, he would surely die without a doubt.
“Don’t worry, if the Earth Emperor Book could be destroyed so easily, how could it be called one of the Three Emperors’ Sacred Artifacts?” The Human Emperor’s Scepter’s voice was completely calm, seeming very confident about the Earth Emperor Book.
“Oh?”
Hearing this, Ye Xuan was slightly surprised. Since the Human Emperor’s Scepter had already said so, there was no need for him to worry. After all, his understanding of the Earth Emperor Book was surely not as extensive as that of the Human Emperor’s Scepter.
In his sight, the Earth Emperor Book, emitting a golden halo, was gradually enveloped by swathes of black mist. The halo was corroded, creating scattered, fragnted patches.
Bits of black mist, already like wriggling worms, had tainted the pages of the Earth Emperor Book.
Buzz!
Just as the black mist touched the pages, seemingly about to corrode the Earth Emperor Book, a dazzling layer of runes suddenly erged on the surface of the book. Ancient characters floated out from within, each character appearing to annihilate a patch of black mist, purifying the space.
“Damn it, how did this happen?”
This situation caused the face of the old man from the Alien Clan to change. He could not have imagined that the Yellow Spring Holy Water they had painstakingly refined would be ineffective against the Earth Emperor Book.
“I refuse to believe this evil, you all co with to manipulate the power of the Holy Water. The Earth Emperor Book is ownerless. It won’t hold out for long.”
The old man from the Alien Clan showed a fierce glow in his eyes and spoke fiercely. After speaking, he also activated a layer of black True Yuan, blending it into the black mist. The other strong mbers of the Alien Clan also made their moves, standing in a circle, continuously channeling True Yuan into it.
After absorbing these energies, the clouds of black mist also expanded, regaining the upper hand and pressing all the runes back.
The energy of the Earth Emperor Book seed to be diminishing at a visible rate.
“What a pity.”
Hei Sha shook his head secretly. If he had obtained the Earth Emperor Book, his cultivation would have increased trendously, and his strength would have grown significantly. It wouldn’t have been impossible for him to beco a dominator of a territory in the future. Such a powerful Holy Artifact was about to be destroyed, truly a sha.
At this mont, between the tremblings of the Earth Emperor Book, wisps of seemingly invisible frequencies spread out from beyond the black mist. At the sa ti, Ye Xuan’s Qiankun Ring lit up. A page from the Earth Emperor Book actively flew out, piercing through the dense black mist, returning to its rightful place in the Earth Emperor Book.
“This is bad!”
At the mont the page from the Earth Emperor Book flew out, the commotion also alard Hei Sha and the others, instantly revealing Ye Xuan’s whereabouts.
“Looks like a re ant followed us.”
Hei Sha’s eyes stared sinisterly at Ye Xuan’s position, his killing intent unabashedly surged forth.
“Hei Sha, take care of this little nuisance for us. Don’t let him disturb us.”
The old man from the Alien Clan glanced at Ye Xuan’s location and then gave the order. He then increased the transmission of True Yuan. After the page had returned to its place, the power of the Earth Emperor Book had increased significantly and was again hard to control.
They couldn’t spare anyone to deal with Ye Xuan now, so they had to leave it to Hei Sha.
“Don’t worry, my lord. He’s just a minor character. I’ll take care of him right away.”
Hei Sha looked mockingly towards Ye Xuan’s location and then, with a tap of his foot, stopped right in front of where Ye Xuan was hiding.
“Boy, co out. No need to hide anymore. I truly admire you for daring to follow us with such little cultivation—truly reckless.” Hei Sha smiled at Ye Xuan, but that smile looked sowhat sinister.
“Since we’d die anyway if you succeeded, it’s better to follow you and perhaps find a slim chance.”
Ye Xuan walked out as he spoke. At this ti, there was no point in hiding any longer.
“A chance? Just with you?”
Hei Sha’s face showed disdain. “I’ll send you on your way right now. Don’t worry, I make quick ends. I assure you a swift death without any pain.”
The smile on his mouth grew more sinister, and Hei Sha raised his right hand, the black True Yuan gathered into his palm, pulsing incessantly.
“I’m afraid you can’t handle .”
There was no trace of fear on Ye Xuan’s face. The others probably couldn’t spare the ti to help right now. With only Hei Sha present, he was no longer the weakling who could be crushed by Saint Realm powerhouses. Even though Hei Sha possessed the cultivation of a First Grade Martial Saint, he now had the confidence to fight.
