Chapter 143: Relic Treasure

Chapter 143: Relic Treasure

The carriage glowed with light. It was not only a transport vehicle but also an ancient war chariot. At this moment, symbols intertwined to form a luminous screen, carrying several people. Countless symbols fell, densely packed, nearly filling the valley. The valley walls cracked, giant stones tumbled down, and dust rose to the sky.

Little One kept dodging, deploying his treasures to counter the attack. He faced a crisis as divine rays shot at him, shattering the ground beneath his feet and causing debris to fly.

The valley walls collapsed with a thunderous roar. Rocks were sent flying, soaring into the sky. The valley became a scene of devastation, shrouded in dust, as if on the brink of destruction.

“White Tiger, you’ve made me angry. I will devour you,” Little One said furiously, his brows furrowed. He had exerted all his effort trying to take the gleaming bone tower but was thwarted by the White Tiger’s intervention, which had completely destroyed his efforts.

The pristine bone tower was truly extraordinary. It floated there on its own, and with a slight tremor, it released auspicious aura that pushed away the bone scissors and treasure mirror, making it hard to approach.

It was still not actively attacking; the mysterious fluctuations were merely emanations.

In the end, Little One resorted to the ancient methods from the primal truth to communicate with the tower, using symbols to resonate with it. He had just begun to see some effect when the White Tiger’s intrusion startled the divine bone tower.

The White Tiger stood on the carriage. Though its body was not particularly large, it exuded an imposing aura. Its eyes shone with a faint golden light, like knives, intimidating and piercing.

“Are you talking to me?” it finally spoke in human language, its face expressionless, with cold light flickering in its pupils like arrows ready to shoot.

“Of course, big cat. You’re seeking your own death,” Little One retorted angrily. His attempt to communicate with the bone tower was now ineffective, as mist spread and pushed him away.

“Seal off the valley. Kill him. I hate it when humans talk to me like that. Quickly, bring the treasure up,” the White Tiger commanded, taking action itself. It raised a tiger paw and struck downwards as if a mountain had fallen, shaking the ground. The white symbols covered the valley.

On the carriage, the White Tiger handed over a beast skin pouch. An elder stepped forward, took it, and loosened the rope. The pouch immediately burst with radiant light, exuding an irresistible suction force, drawing everything from the valley into it.

“Boom”

Disturbed continuously, the bone tower finally revived, erupting with a tidal wave of white light. It shook the surroundings.

Little One was astonished and quickly withdrew the bone scissors and treasure mirror to protect himself, then retreated rapidly, distancing himself from the site.

“Such a treasure, no matter the cost, must be obtained. You all work together to assist my cosmic bag and retrieve it,” the White Tiger roared with excitement.

Two human genius girls and four burly men on the carriage stepped forward to help the elder, activating the cosmic bag made from ancient beast skins.

They radiated divine light, infusing it into the beast skin pouch, making it even more dazzling. The pouch’s opening was brilliant, absorbing everything. Massive stones, weighing tens of thousands of pounds, were pulled into the pouch.

Although the pouch’s opening was small, it seemed capable of containing an entire landscape.

Little One’s eyes glowed with awe. The pouch was incredible, able to hold anything, no matter the quantity, without worrying about taking it all.

“This is a great treasure. If I get it, I could pack up and capture all the ancient beasts,” he clenched his fists.

Giant rocks continued to fly towards the cosmic pouch, but the bone tower remained unmoved, surrounded by mist, growing increasingly mysterious.

“Rise,” the White Tiger roared, also taking action. It sprayed radiant light onto the cosmic pouch, enhancing its power.

“Boom”

The pristine bone tower was repeatedly disturbed and finally erupted. The tower shook, causing the entire valley to collapse. It rose, causing ripples like an ocean, making the mountains tremble and creating an earthquake.

“This is bad. The treasure has become sentient,” the White Tiger screamed. The carriage quickly ascended, almost merging with the clouds, maintaining a safe distance.

The bone tower shook, scattering symbols that nearly overturned them. The carriage nearly fell but was fortunately far enough away.

“Try one last time. If it fails, we leave immediately,” the White Tiger remained determined.

They worked together to activate the cosmic pouch. Radiant light shot out, and symbols spread in all directions.

The bone tower trembled, quickly gathering all the mist, and began to glow, almost transparent, with a chilling aura spreading.

Seeing this, Little One did not hesitate, abandoning the idea of eating the White Tiger. He jumped onto the beast skin mirror and transformed into a streak of light, fleeing rapidly as he sensed a dangerous aura.

“Boom”

Indeed, an explosion occurred behind him. The bone tower emitted light like a meteor crashing down. The ground broke apart, and the sky seemed to裂开, as if a sun had exploded.

The terrifying force swept across the mountains, causing peaks to shake and collapse. Dust filled the air, turning the area into a place of destruction.

“What a powerful treasure,” Little One fled, feeling deeply regretful. Such a powerful treasure was extraordinary, even the Emperor of Humans would be enthralled.

“Run!” the White Tiger roared. It knew the treasure was beyond their reach once it revived; it was something they could not contend with.

“Could it be a relic left by the ancient saints?” the elder hesitated.

The carriage flew swiftly, but even so, one of the burly men was struck by the radiant light, screaming as he fell from the carriage and exploded in mid-air.

“Faster!” the White Tiger’s face changed, filled with fear.

They had already risen above the clouds, far enough away. But the radiant light still swept through, and the people on the carriage worked together to shield themselves with a light screen, escaping rapidly.

“Aow!” The White Tiger cried out in pain, having been struck by a divine light, stumbling and almost falling from the carriage. Its shoulder was pierced, bleeding profusely.

“Pfft,” the elder was pierced through the right chest, coughing blood, and nearly died.

The carriage sped across the sky, fleeing the area. Large amounts of blood flowers fell from the sky as they desperately escaped.

With a final “whoosh,” the bone tower stopped floating and transformed into a rainbow beam, disappearing into the distance. The shattered landscape returned to calm.

“Why did the bone tower, so powerful, choose to flee and leave the valley?” Little One wondered. He clearly saw that the tower had departed in haste, which puzzled him greatly.

He did not stay, chasing after it with all his might. He summoned the treasure mirror to fly at high speed.

However, the tower was too fast, leaving only a trail before vanishing ahead.

Little One continued forward, the mountains and scenery rapidly receding. He did not give up and, after crossing several mountain ranges, finally sensed the bone tower’s fluctuations again.

Ahead, a sea of fire raged. It was a vast inferno. Endless magma churned, flowing and turning mountains red, creating a frighteningly strange scene.

“There’s actually a sea of fire here,” Little One exclaimed in surprise.

A few days ago, when he passed through here, it was not like this. Now, the mountains had melted, with several peaks turning into magma, flowing down.

“This is the Earth Phoenix Fire, and it’s appeared here,” Little One recognized with astonishment.



This is the ultimate flame used for refining treasures. It is erupting in this place, though it is merely earth fire, yet it has melted the entire mountain range.

In the center of this mountain range, a flame flickers, dazzling like divine light and exceptionally intense, with the faint sound of phoenix cries.

Little One's eyes sparkled with divine light as he observed closely. This was undoubtedly divine fire. The flickering flame looked like a phoenix dancing, an astonishing phenomenon.

"The bone tower is in that heart of the fire," Little One exclaimed in astonishment, finally spotting the bone tower. It was floating there, undergoing the flames’ refining and forging.

Could it be that it is injured and needs to repair itself or is it undergoing transformation, refining itself anew? This is truly astonishing and very rare among treasures.

The high mountains melted, and lava surged, submerging the area in firelight. Little One had no choice but to retreat.

For several days, he lingered nearby, never straying more than fifty miles away, waiting for the great fire to subside. However, the lava continued to surge, showing no signs of stopping.

"Whoosh"

A sword ray cut through the air. A young man in a blue robe appeared, wielding a bone sword, coming from above to strike Little One. People began to appear around him.

One of the four great families’ members had arrived here, and this young man in the blue robe was the one who first attacked Little One after entering the ruins, only to be driven away by him and a group of ancient beasts.

Little One dodged the sword ray and stared at these people. There were nearly twenty of them, old and young, with at least six or seven of them being sealers.

“You really are persistent. What grudge do you have against me?” Little One asked.

“The Void God Realm, one of the four clans you built into a human mountain,” the young man in the blue robe said coldly.

Little One was taken aback, then laughed loudly, “Those were truly happy days. It’s a pity I was driven out. I miss it. Once the ban is lifted, I’ll definitely go build an even larger human mountain.”

This was a naked mockery, making the group of people turn pale with anger. Being defeated by this young troublemaker was bad enough, but now being mocked and extorted was a severe blow to their pride.

“Hmm, don’t tell me you are the ones I built into a human mountain,” Little One said with suspicion.

Upon hearing this, the group’s faces turned as dark as possible. Some young men’s foreheads bulged with veins, and even a few elders looked grim.

“Hahaha,” Little One laughed heartily, feeling utterly delighted. It turned out that those chasing him were all people he had previously beaten.

Such laughter made the group’s faces darken with rage, their anger almost palpable.

“I understand now. The others who chased me are also from the four great families, all my defeated foes. Hahaha,” Little One laughed joyfully.

He was previously frustrated by being obstructed so often, but now he felt completely relieved, as these were all people he had beaten before. Facing defeated foes, he was very pleased.

“Here is not the Void God Realm’s initial place. Our realms are not suppressed to such a low level. Prepare to die,” the young man in the blue robe roared. He was a once-great figure with few peers among his generation, but in the Void God Realm, he had been brutally beaten and was now with his clan, a severe disgrace.

“Just defeated opponents. I’m not afraid of you. If you don’t behave, I’ll build another human mountain for you,” Little One retorted.

This was a murderous calamity, yet Little One was so playful that it made the group look even more malevolent and resentful.

Little One formed seals with his hands, deploying symbols from the primal truth, creating a wave of golden light to strike forward. It collided with the blue-robed man’s bone sword.

“Everyone, attack together and deal with him,” another youth stepped forward, joining the assault.

At the same time, several elders stepped forward. Each step caused a slight tremor in the ground, like giants approaching, their gazes shining like golden lamps.

“Boom”

An intense battle erupted. Little One clashed with several opponents in succession, his blood surging as the overwhelming symbols nearly suffocated him. The treasure techniques surged, sealing the area.

His blood surged. Although his physical body was unmatched, his mastery of symbols did not match that of the elders, and blood trickled from his mouth.

Against so many opponents, he could not hope to prevail. Little One was grimly aware of the situation. Several elderly sealers were extraordinary, and he would certainly fall if surrounded here.

He did not linger in battle, wiping the blood from his mouth, and fought while retreating to prevent them from closing in.

“Young man, you are indeed gifted, but you have offended the wrong people. How can our Kun Clan allow you to live? Prepare to die,” one of the elders shouted.

They revealed their identity, believing that the young man before them would not survive.

Little One engaged them in combat, repeatedly suppressed by the symbols of the elders. The treasure techniques surged like an ocean, causing more blood to seep from his mouth. Finally, he drove the golden bone scissors and sped towards the depths of the mountains.

“Where do you think you’re going?” The group refused to let him escape. Several elders, along with their clan members, chased after him on their treasures.

Scarlet liquid blocked the way, with fire blazing fiercely. The scene ahead was horrifying, with peaks glowing red and the ground’s heat surging, turning into lava.

Little One, standing on the golden bone scissors, crossed the vast lava field. His eyes flashed as he glanced back before accelerating in flight.

Behind him, the group sneered. Their speed was no less than Little One’s, and no matter how he tried to escape, they would catch up sooner or later.

“Other clans are offering rewards too. If we kill him and take his treasures, we can collect the bounty with his head.”

“This brat is truly detestable. Just killing him isn’t enough. He should be tortured to death.”

The group was cold-hearted and finally ready to catch the brat, thinking about how to humiliate and end his life.

Suddenly, Little One looked back with a strange smile, raised the beast skin mirror, and struck the lava field behind him with powerful lightning.

“Boom”

The center of the lava erupted, with waves of molten liquid soaring into the sky, the temperature astonishing.

“After all, he’s just a child. Does he think lava can harm us?” an elder sneered. The treasure glowed, blocking the incoming red waves.

However, his cold smile quickly froze, and everyone felt a surge of horror.

A terrifying aura surged upwards, causing everyone to shiver.

A crystalline treasure tower floated in the lava, enveloped in phoenix fire, revealing its true form. It then shook violently, like it was furiously angry, erupting in overwhelming light.

“Ah, no!”

The Kun clan members screamed. They knew they were facing a catastrophe. This treasure was too terrifying, far surpassing their clan’s supreme treasure. Now it was attacking them in fury.

“Pop”

The sound of the treasure shattering echoed. Three elders’ treasures were destroyed on the spot, and they, along with their younger clan members, fell into the lava.

“Flee quickly!”

The young man in the blue robe and two other elders, along with their clan members, fled in a panic, stepping on their treasures.

Unfortunately, they were too close to the lava, and this time, the bone tower was in the critical stage of self-refinement. After being disturbed, it was enraged and unleashed its fury.

“Pfft”

Another treasure cracked open, and the elder on it exploded, with his companions falling into the lava.



The young man in the blue robe and another elder suffered severe injuries, covered in blood, and their treasures were almost completely destroyed. They abandoned their clan members and fled from the lava region. Fortunately, the bone tower did not pursue them further.

Unfortunately, Little One was waiting ahead. He immediately summoned the golden bone scissors and with a "whoosh," he severed the two men at the waist, blood spraying out.

“I hate this!” The two men despaired, filled with unwillingness as they died by the lava’s edge.

“So terrifying,” Little One said, staring into the depths of the lava sea, his expression solemn.

Thus, he stayed here for over ten days. More than a month had passed since he entered this ruin, and the lava finally solidified as the temperature began to drop.

“Hmm, the bone tower hasn’t appeared again.”

Little One was puzzled and walked around the area, carefully sensing it. Unable to hold back, he began to test.

He summoned the red flying sword he had obtained from the Immortal Treasure, which transformed into a red ribbon of light, cutting through the center of the rocky ground, searching meticulously. The result was still calm; the bone tower did not show any sign of agitation.

After half a day, Little One went to the place where the bone tower had once floated, carefully searching. This place had already been dug out into a large pit by the flying sword, littered with rock fragments.

With a "thud," a hollow sound came from underground, accompanied by a flash of firelight. Little One was startled and looked down, revealing a look of astonishment.

There was a tower there, having absorbed the last of the earth fire, becoming crystal clear.

“This entire lava field was drained by it,” Little One was horrified and quickly retreated. He found that the object below showed no reaction.

“Hmm, something has changed.”

The tower in the underground cavern had dimmed, no longer exhibiting any phenomena. It began shrinking from the size of a palm to only the length of a finger joint, standing less than an inch tall.

Little One was astonished and waited for a long time but saw no further changes. He tried a symbol to test it, but the bone tower remained pristine and motionless.

Finally, he picked up the small tower and placed it in his palm. It showed no reaction.

The small tower was less than an inch tall, only the size of a fingertip, completely transparent and crystal-clear, resembling carved mutton fat jade, exceptionally beautiful. It didn’t look like a treasure but rather a magnificent ornament, without any menacing aura.

Little One explored repeatedly, sensing no traces of symbols. He then tried to summon its divine power, but found no reaction.

If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes before, he would definitely think this was just a beautiful and exquisite ornament.

“Why isn’t there any reaction?” Little One scratched his head in confusion. After researching for half a day without any results, he finally, angrily, wrapped the crystal-clear white small tower in his hair, treating it as an ornament.

A few days later, Little One arrived at the center of the mountains. Along the way, he had encountered twenty treasures, but none could be subdued. He felt it was a pity, but he was certain that none of these treasures were as mysterious and terrifying as the bone tower.

Unfortunately, the tower paid no attention to Little One, behaving like an ordinary object.

At the center, there was a colossal mountain, unimaginably grand, as if dozens of peaks had fused together, exceptionally magnificent and majestic.

“What a huge mountain,”

Little One marveled. The mountain’s surface sparkled with divine light, with treasures occasionally rising, like fireworks exploding, all being powerful spiritual objects.

At the foot of the mountain, he saw a group of top talents, including the Bi Fang, golden divine bird, Chi Long, Pixiu, Pumo Tree, and the Cracking Heaven Demon Butterfly.

As for the mountain, it was already occupied by people who were fighting for the opportunity to enter. This place was the source of the ruins, known as the Treasure Cliff, rumored to be filled with treasures.

“My sword, my sword,” suddenly, an ancient voice sounded ne
