Chapter 921 - Strange Object

Buzz! Buzz!

A dazzling lustre shot out from the Spiritual Compass. Mu Chen and Nine Nether still had not recovered from the shock with how intense the lustre was, before exchanging a look a long while later.

“Let’s go take a look.” Mu Chen licked his lips. Although he was also a little startled in his heart by the commotion from the Spiritual Compass, this sort of opportunity couldn’t slip by so easily.

“Let’s be careful.”

Nine Nether gently nodded her head, but she still gave a warning.

Mu Chen nodded his head, before confirming the location on the Spiritual Compass. His gaze shot towards the west, before exchanging a look with Nine Nether, and the both of them flew out without any hesitation.

The two of them swiftly flew past numerous floating rock islands. They were sweeping their gazes around at the same time in an attempt to search for the origin of the dazzling lustre on the Spiritual Compass.

With the Spiritual Compass determining the location, it was swiftly found.

It was a massive rock island that hovered before Mu Chen and Nine Nether. The two of them exchanged a look. This was the location that the Spiritual Compass had determined, so it should be this rock island.

Boom!

The two of them exchanged a look and then acted without any hesitation. In just several breaths of time, the majestic mountain had crushed the rock island.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Shattered bits of rocks shot out in every direction with Mu Chen and Nine Nether fixing their eyes onto those shattered fragments. Their gazes were sharp, so anything abnormal wouldn’t be able to avoid their eyes.

However, as time passed, those rocks had completely shot out. But what left Mu Chen and Nine Nether shocked was the fact that they did not discover anything out of the ordinary.

“What’s going on?” Nine Nether was puzzled as she asked.

Mu Chen had his brows tightly knitted as well. They had looked extremely carefully, so it’s definitely impossible for them to miss anything. But why did they not discover anything?

Mu Chen lowered his head as he looked at the Spiritual Compass and was stunned. That’s because he realised that the lustre on the Spiritual Compass was still brilliant. That meant that the origin of it was still there.

“This rock island doesn’t seem to be the objective…” said Mu Chen.

“Isn’t the location here?” Nine Nether questioned.

“The location is here…” Mu Chen’s gaze flickered as he suddenly shifted his eyes, looking at the location that the rock island was at previously. Immediately, he narrowed his eyes, then slowly approached and realised that the location where the rock island was at previously was actually in a distorted state. But it was still insufficient to form a spatial crack.

But this distorted space was actually hidden within a rock island, which would make others feel puzzled.

Mu Chen had fixed his gaze towards the distorted space, before gently lifting the Spiritual Compass in his hand. Instantly, the Spiritual Compass surged with light at the dazzling source.

When Nine Nether noticed this abnormality, she swiftly approached Mu Chen and looked at the distorted space with astonishment written on her face.

“It seems to be this distorted space.” Mu Chen was a little astonished as he spoke. So it turned out that the floating rock island was a façade and this space was the source of it.

“The treasure is here?” Nine Nether asked, feeling disbelief.

Mu Chen briefly pondered, before narrowing his eyes. He had remained quiet for a brief moment, before he suddenly said, “Can you tear a crack in this distorted spatial realm?”

Nine Nether was startled by his words, then responded, “You’re suspecting that the treasures are hidden in the distorted spatial realm?”

“Someone made the effort to hide something here, so there must be a motive for it. Since that’s the case, then there should be something wrong with this.” Mu Chen nodded his head.

“Let me try.”

Hearing Mu Chen’s explanation, Nine Nether nodded her head, then she clenched her fist and a boundless Spiritual Energy slammed against the distorted space. The Spiritual Energy had formed into a pair of large hands that tried to tear a crack in it.

But when Nine Nether’s Spiritual Energy slammed against the distorted space, she was shocked in her heart because she realised that the distorted space was extremely powerful.

“Seems like there’s something amiss here.”

Nine Nether clenched her teeth as the Spiritual Energy erupted from her body without holding back, instantly causing the distorted space to intensely tremble. In the end, a small black crack had been slowly split open.

Under Nine Nether’s full force, the crack could only be opened up to two inches. But when it reached this size, Nine Nether realised that it was already her limit. Furthermore, the spatial crack seemed to be fighting back as it tried to restore the damage.

“Quick, I can’t hold on much longer.” Nine Nether rushed.

Buzz!

Mu Chen did not delay and swiftly stretched his hand out, which was like the mouth of a tiger, and tried to pull the spatial crack. Instantly, the Spiritual Energy surged in his palm and formed into a vortex with a suction force that burst out.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

When the powerful suction force entered the spatial crack, rocks swiftly shot out of it. But before it could approach Mu Chen’s palm, they were reduced to dust.

Mu Chen had no idea what was behind the spatial crack and he did not dare to enter it. If he got lost in the spatial turbulence, then it would be hard for even Mandala to save him.

Therefore, he could only adopt such method, and make use of the suction force to see if he could get anything out of the distorted space.

Poosh! Poosh!

Innumerable rocks constantly flew out, but were reduced to bags of dust by the vortex. However, there still wasn’t any special items showing up.

As time passed, Nine Nether’s hands started to tremble. It was getting a little tough for her to maintain it.

Seeing the current situation, Mu Chen could only sigh in his heart. However, just when he was about to stop in disappointment, an unusual sound suddenly came from the spatial crack.

Whoosh!

A black light suddenly flew out and heavily impacted against the vortex. But this time, the vortex did not shatter it. On the contrary, the vortex was broken apart instead.

Mu Chen reacted swiftly and had circulated his Spiritual Energy into his hand, then grabbed onto that black light.

At the same time, Nine Nether was also completely exhausted and the crack was swiftly shrinking before it disappeared and space was returned to its initial state.

Nine Nether wiped the beads of sweat off her brow as she looked at Mu Chen, before seeing the black light that abruptly shot out.

Mu Chen opened his hand to reveal a black object. It seemed to be a triangle-shaped black metal that was covered with ancient runes on the surface of it. However, Mu Chen and Nine Nether did not sense any undulations of Spiritual Energy on it.

Mu Chen and Nine Nether exchanged a look and, clearly, they did not understand that the object which they had racked their brains to obtain would be so baffling. And, after looking at it, it didn’t seem to look like a Divine Artifact either.

Mu Chen knitted his brows as he attempted to pour his Spiritual Energy within. But at the end, he realised that there weren’t any reactions from it…

The two of them had racked their brains as they tried numerous methods. But in the end, there wasn’t any response from that black metal and they could only helplessly give up on it.

“Spending so much time to get such an unknown object.” Mu Chen and Nine Nether didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Although, judging from their feelings, this wasn’t an ordinary object, they had no way to use it, which made it similar to a piece of trash.

“Forget it, let’s grasp the time to look for other treasures.”

Mu Chen bitterly smiled and had no choice but to give up. Along with the black metal thrown into the Universal Bracelet, he grasped the remaining time left and searched for other treasures with the Spiritual Compass.

As he tried searching, he suddenly looked at a distant direction. For a moment, the massive black pyramid, which was hovering in space, looked similar to the triangular-shaped metal that he had just obtained…

But this thought had briefly appeared, before it was dismissed with a laugh and was thrown to the back of his mind as he continued his search for treasures with Nine Nether.

In the remaining time left, Mu Chen and Nine Nether had some harvest using the Spiritual Compass. However, their harvest wasn’t that outstanding. Compared to those, their first harvest was slightly better.

Buzz!

As the two of them searched for treasures, a buzzing noise suddenly resounded. Mu Chen and Nine Nether immediately came to a stop the moment they heard that sound, before exchanging a glance and flew towards a certain direction.

That was the signal of Mandala summoning their presence, the route up ahead must have been ascertained.

Whoosh!

On a rock island, the Kings gathered once again. When Mandala saw the smiles hung on their faces, she knew that they had their own harvests. However, she did not question them about it and no one had handed their harvests over.

“Prepare to move out towards the Earth Sovereign Realm Treasury. I have already sensed the other forces entering this space earlier.”

When they heard Mandala’s words, everyone’s hearts slightly jolted. The final battle of the Hunting War was for the Earth Sovereign Realm Treasury, and all the peak forces would definitely do their best to fight for the things in it. Thus, the competition would definitely be extremely disastrous.

“Let’s go!”

Mandala did not speak any further as she waved her hand, turning into a dark beam of light as she flew out. The place which she was moving towards was naturally the distant black pyramid.

When Mu Chen saw how swift and decisive Mandala was, he did not have any time to mention about the strange object that he had previously discovered and could only helplessly shrug his shoulders, before following up with Nine Nether.

As he followed up, he saw the Kings’ faces were gradually becoming tense and he couldn’t help sighing. Coming up next, the most disastrous competition of the Hunting War would be taking place…
