Chapter 612: Hidden Edge Sword
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Outside the treasure vault at the core of the Zombie King’s Cave.
Whoosh—
A blood-colored barrier that was visible to the naked eye protected the entrance of the treasure vault from all angles.
Around the array were nine metal slots.
Each slot corresponded to a commander’s token key.
In the past, when the nine commanders had to hand over the Blood G.o.d Crystals together, they would open the door to the treasure vault by gathering and placing their respective tokens in the slots.
“Go!”
Dark Star pointed at the slots.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
The nine tokens instantly flew into the corresponding slot.
Whoosh—
Blood light floated, and the protective array protecting him disappeared.
“I succeeded!”
......
Dark Star revealed a look of joy and strode in.
The so-called Zombie King’s Treasure Vault was called a treasure vault, but with Blood Vengeance’s lazy personality.
This was just a huge collection s.p.a.ce.
The pa.s.sageway to the treasure vault was very deep and was divided into six layers of storage s.p.a.ce.
Although the nine commanders had entered this place before, most of them had only been to the first level of the storage room.
Bang!
A huge force shattered the door of the first level of the storage room.
What greeted his eyes was an astonishing number of storage bags. Every storage bag was filled with Blood G.o.d Crystals that emitted a scarlet glow.
This thing could refine blood energy and was the best cultivation material for zombies.
In total, there were at least tens of billions of them.
What attracted Dark Star’s attention the most were the ten or so black and red crystals on the stone platform. They had a restrained aura and looked like ordinary stones.
“This is… a Bloodline Crystal!”
“Black and red color, and it’s a top-grade Bloodline Crystal!!”
Dark Star’s eyes widened in shock.
This treasure could be said to be one of the most sought after treasures in the Zombie Divine Realm.
The Bloodline Crystal contained special energy to increase the zombie’s bloodline.
For example, ordinary ninth-generation zombies could evolve to the eighth or seventh generation after consuming the trashiest Bloodline Crystal sc.r.a.ps.
A Beginner Bloodline Crystal could at least upgrade a fifth-generation zombie to a third-generation zombie.
Above that was the mid-grade one, which allowed a zombie to upgrade from a third-generation one to a second or first-generation one.
At the high-grade.
This was another level of story.
He was lucky enough to have eaten high-grade sc.r.a.ps, allowing him to obtain the zombie king bloodline.
In the end, he stood out from the countless zombie lackeys and became the commander of a territory.
As for the complete high-grade Bloodline Crystal.
According to his guess, if he were to consume it, he should be able to enter the venerable rankings at least.
Moreover, treasures of this level were scarce resources that were priceless in the various large maps.
It was a rare sight even in hundreds or thousands of years.
But now, the first level of Blood Vengeance’s treasure vault hid a top-grade Bloodline Crystal that was dozens of times more precious than a high-grade one.
“I’m rich, I’m rich!”
“Tsk tsk, 13 top-grade Bloodline Crystals!”
“No wonder Blood Vengeance is ranked first on the Venerable Leaderboard all year round!”
“F*ck, with countless treasures piled up, this b.a.s.t.a.r.d’s bloodline might have already evolved to an extremely terrifying level!”
“I wonder if Master can successfully kill this b.a.s.t.a.r.d!”
Thinking of this, Dark Star was slightly worried. The excitement that had just risen fell into silence again.
“Forget it, let’s get down to business first!”
After a moment, he shook his head and suppressed the distracting thoughts in his heart.
Swish! Swish!
The storage beam landed.
For the time being, he kept the most expensive top-grade Bloodline Crystal into the storage spirit bottle. As for the storage bag containing tens of billions of Blood G.o.d Crystals.
He had no time to collect them now.
It was almost time for the two hours promised by the Human Lord.
Therefore, for the second and fifth level of storage s.p.a.ce, he looked straight ahead and entered the last level.
The last level was an empty s.p.a.ce less than a hundred square meters. In the middle was a blood-colored skeleton altar.
The altar was surrounded by a blood spring.
The blood spring contained some kind of special array that transformed into a protective barrier.
It protected the diamond-shaped crystal floating in the middle.
“Life Origin Crystal!”
Dark Star’s eyes revealed a sharp glint. “Finally, I found it!”
As for the protective array formed by the blood spring.
With his current strength and the strongest killing move given to him by the human lord, he did not take it to heart.
“Break!”
He immediately gathered the five elements and condensed a colorful saber that slashed down.
Rumble!!
The barrier of light was on the verge of collapse, revealing some cracks. However, after the light flickered, the cracks were repaired by the blood spring and it instantly recovered to its original state.
“What?”
Dark Star narrowed his eyes.
The Five Elements Demon Slaying Blade was the most powerful single-target attack technique in the early stages of the Five Elements Divine Technique.
But it was useless.
“This b.a.s.t.a.r.d, Blood Vengeance, is indeed as cowardly as ever.”
“There’s a large array outside the treasure vault. There’s also a large array guarding the treasure vault. Even the Life Origin Crystal is the same.”
“Multiple layers of protection, not giving anyone any chance at all.”
He gritted his teeth and smiled. “However…”
“In the end, the Human Lord’s skills are still better. Although the Five Elements Demon Slaying Blade can’t completely destroy the array, through contact, I can already sense the strength of the array. The pattern that has just cracked takes up about one-ninth of the barrier. In other words, as long as the power of the Five Elements Demon Slaying Blade exceeds ten times, it can completely destroy the barrier.”
“I didn’t want to use that move, but… I have no choice.”
At the same time, Lin Ye’s voice came from the hidden s.p.a.ce.
“Dark Star, how’s the preparation on your side?”
Human Lord!
Upon hearing this, Dark Star hurriedly said, “Master, it’s ready. I’ve successfully entered the Zombie King’s Treasure Vault and have just found the Life Crystal.”
“Are you confident in breaking it?”
Lin Ye said solemnly, “I know about the feud between you and Blood Vengeance. I’m not afraid to tell you that I’ve already led my clan to ambush Blood Vengeance outside the Void World Wall. If you can shatter his Life Crystal, I promise you that he will definitely die!”
“Give me three seconds.”
Dark Star did not answer directly, but its eyes were burning with flames.
This was the hatred acc.u.mulated over countless years.
Back then, his father and family were killed by a blood feud.
He endured the humiliation and chose to be part of the Hidden Edge Sword plan after the humans were defeated in the final battle.
He even sealed his soul consciousness.
At the risk of dying in the final stages, he finally took root in Dark Peak and won Blood Vengeance’s trust to become one of the nine commanders.
Before this, he was always obsequious in front of his enemy, Blood Vengeance. He was like a despicable person who relied on Blood Vengeance.
Hatred, anger, despair, and all kinds of emotions were ignited after Lin Ye appeared.
And now, after hearing Lin Ye’s words, this flame of revenge burned like a star in his sea of consciousness.
“b.a.s.t.a.r.d, let’s go to h.e.l.l together!”
He let out the highest roar of his life.
Boom!!!
Secret Technique—Time Sword.
Health Points -100,000!
This was his, Dark Star. As a zombie king, theoretically speaking, his lifespan was the highest.
“Buzz—”
s.p.a.ce trembled as the entire zombie king’s treasure vault was destroyed by the terrifying sword pressure.
“Slash!”
Dark Star roared angrily, and the lifespan in its body plummeted.
In just a moment, his body started to wither. His skin lost its color, and his entire body swayed like rotten wood.
The Time Sword, which was made up of 100,000 years of lifespan, pierced through the air.
In an instant, time and s.p.a.ce froze.
The Life Origin Crystal in the blood spring seemed to sense danger and trembled crazily.
Crash—
The blood spring around him surged, and the blood energy almost dyed the protective barrier red.
However, everything was in vain.
This sword was not only 100,000 years of lifespan, but also the hatred that the Dark Star had acc.u.mulated over tens of thousands of years.
The past thousands of years of preparation was only for today!
Whoosh—
In an instant, the blood spring barrier shattered.
The silver-gray Time Sword slashed at the Life Origin Crystal like a hot knife through b.u.t.ter.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
This power was so great that the crystal exploded into pieces before it could even break.
