1908 Tempted By Treasures, Humanity Failed The Test
It was general versus general and soldiers versus soldiers.
As s.h.i.+nra Pirate fought G.o.d King Molin, the G.o.d King energy scattered across the void, shaking the starry sky violently.
Bang!
s.h.i.+nra Pirate was. .h.i.t with a punch that sent him flying backward.
Fortunately, he was not heavily injured. An armor covered with b.l.o.o.d.y Daoist law protected him from the punch, preventing the deadly blow.
When G.o.d King Moline saw the armor, his expression turned grim. “That’s my tribe’s Seven Seas Shura Armor!”
The Seven Seas Shura Armor was a Premium Innate Supreme Treasure, one of the best treasures in the Central Heaven Universe and one of the strongest items that the Dao King Tribe once possessed.
“It is.” s.h.i.+nra Pirate chuckled.
G.o.d King Molin gritted his teeth. “You launched an attack at my tribe while I was away to raid us of our treasures! Shameless!”
“Hahaha! I can say the same to you. The Dao King Tribe also rose to prominence from raiding and looting, am I right?” s.h.i.+nra Pirate argued.
“Wu Xuelong, on me!” G.o.d King Molin called Wu Xuelong to attack together.
With the two Supreme G.o.d Kings teaming up, even if s.h.i.+nra Pirate had the armor on, he felt pressured.
As for the other G.o.d Kings, they scattered around and surrounded him, leaving him with no escape route.
s.h.i.+nra Pirate’s men were pushed into a desperate situation since the Dao King Tribe and Nether King Tribe had teamed up.
s.h.i.+nra Pirate and his men were losing.
Many elites in the universe were paying attention to the battle, and they believed s.h.i.+nra Pirate had no way to turn things around anymore.
“s.h.i.+nra Pirate, who has roamed galaxies for so many years, finally welcomes his end. Today will mark the fall of another legend.”
“The Central Heaven Universe really has had a couple of rough years.”
“Considering G.o.d Kings are falling everywhere, I guess you can say so.”
While the experts placed their bets on s.h.i.+nra Pirate’s doom, a pair of frosty eyes was staring at the battlefield from the void.
It was Chu Kuangren.
“It’s time…” he muttered.
Suddenly, something happened on the battlefield.
s.h.i.+nra Pirate and his men started to flee the battlefield. Some of them left in such a hurry that they left their treasures behind.
It looked like they were running away because of the impending defeat.
However, the Dao King Tribe would never let that chance slip.
“Run? How naive! Kill them!”
“Hahaha! s.h.i.+nra Pirate, do you really think you and your men can run from us? Today will be your doom!”
“Go after them!”
The Dao King Tribe and Nether King Tribe were on a killing spree, and they would never let a single s.p.a.ce pirate escape them. As such, they went after the fleeing pirates.
“Hmph! Nether King Tribe, you guys go from that side, and we will flank them from both sides! We can crush them together,” said an Arch Gilded Immortal to a captain of the Nether King Tribe.
“Alright.”
Before the two tribes could flank the s.p.a.ce pirates, the s.p.a.ce pirates had scattered away.
They split into multiple groups and went in different directions
“Oh? Running separately? So what? Be it the number or power, we are at an overwhelming advantage. Even if you s.p.a.ce pirates tried to run in different ways, you dogs can’t escape us!”
“Go! Don’t let anyone of them escape!”
The two tribes went after the fleeing s.p.a.ce pirates.
Soon, they followed the s.p.a.ce pirates into a secret realm.
The secret realm had been floating in s.p.a.ce for a long time, and it held many treasures inside.
When the Dao King Tribe and the Nether King Tribe entered the secret realm while chasing the s.p.a.ce pirates, they were captivated by the treasures before their eyes.
“I didn’t expect to discover such a plentiful secret realm while chasing the s.p.a.ce pirates!”
“We’re in luck!”
“Something is wrong.”
An Arch Gilded Immortal frowned. “The s.p.a.ce pirates lured us here. This must be a trap.”
“Look! Look there!” one of the captains cried.
Further away, on opt of a high mountain, countless Immortal Sparks shrouded its peak.
On a closer look, the mountain was actually a huge pile of Immortal Crystals, and its value was immeasurable.
“There…”
In another direction was a ma.s.sive golden lake, in which its water was Immortal Liquid.
The ripples on the surface felt mystical, and the lake also contained all kinds of treasures.
The treasures in that secret realm were slightly overwhelming.
“That’s the Dao King Tribe’s Rainbow Lazuli Lamp!” Someone recognized one of the treasures.
“Tha’s the Fire Blaze Lance!”
“The Nine Rebirth Jade Dew Pill!”
“The s.h.i.+ps of the Dao King Tribe are also here!”
They were all stunned.
All the treasures that the s.p.a.ce pirates had looted and raided were in the secret realm.
Seeing the treasures fueled their anger and jealousy.
“This must be the place where the s.p.a.ce pirates keep their loot!”
“Yeah! This is s.h.i.+nra Pirate’s secret treasure vault!”
“They all belonged to the Dao King Tribe!”
The Dao King Tribe suddenly lost interest in pursuing the fleeing s.p.a.ce pirates and went after the treasures.
Why would they go after the s.p.a.ce pirates?
They were after the s.p.a.ce pirates because the s.p.a.ce pirates looted and raided their treasures.
Now that the treasures were right before their eyes, there was no point in pursuing them anymore.
The Dao King Tribe rose to prominence from looting as well. At their core, they were the same as the s.p.a.ce pirates. They all had the same greedy and brutal blood flowing in their veins.
The amount of treasure occupied all their thoughts.
Even if some of them were smart enough to notice that something was not right, they were the minority.
A majority of them were captivated by the treasures. They went after the treasures not because they wanted to retrieve them for the tribe, but because they wanted to keep something for themselves.
“This is mine!”
“Stop it! There’s no need to fight. Everyone can get a share. Let’s get the s.p.a.ce pirates first!”
“What s.p.a.ce pirates? They are a bunch of deserters. If we go after them and someone else s.n.a.t.c.hes the treasures away, what will we do then?”
“Yeah! Don’t try to trick me!”
“Brothers, get the treasures!”
“Nether King Tribe, these aren’t your things! What are you doing? Keep your hands off the treasures!”
“We are here to help you. Why can’t we get a share of the treasures? How selfis.h.!.+”
“These are ours! You will be rewarded with a handsome payment for your help. It doesn’t mean you can take our things away.”
“I’m taking it. What are you going to do about it?”
The situation was a mess.
It was chaotic.
Before the overwhelming number of treasures, the true nature of the Dao King Tribe was revealed. Even the Nether King Tribe could not keep their eyes away from the treasures.
They got angry especially when the Dao King Tribe forbade them from taking the treasures. They were here to help, yet could they not get the treasures?
The argument slowly escalated into an internal conflict, and the secret realm became the battlefield for another fight.
Meanwhile, in a corner of the universe, Chu Kuangren saw everything that happened in the secret realm.
He said, “Human nature is the weakest and most vulnerable thing.”
Of course, some were unfazed by the treasures and tried to calm the conflict down. Unfortunately, they were still the minority, and there was only so much they could do.
There were a lot of smart men, but foolish men trumped them in terms of number.
As the situation escalated, the smart men were forced to take sides and joined their fellow foolish men in taking the treasures.
“s.h.i.+nra Pirate’s men are almost out of that place. Do it, Heaven Maiden You,” Chu Kuangren said without looking back.
“Yes.”
Heaven Maiden You looked at the people inside the secret realm with frosty eyes.
