Supreme of the Heavenly Realm-Chapter 660 - 654 Earth Emperor Book Fragment

"Ye Xuan, are you sick to spend twenty thousand Spirit Crystals on such a useless thing?" Zuo Shi had seen everything Ye Xuan just did and thought that he was definitely duped by the peddler, his money completely wasted.

"Isn’t spending money all about buying happiness? This Jade Pendant can soothe the mind and concentrate the spirit, plus it contains the unique Ancient Spiritual Power of the Demon Ruins. It’s not a useless item at all, I’m giving it to you."

Ye Xuan didn’t seem to care and stuffed the Jade Pendant into Zuo Shi’s hands.

He didn’t buy the Jade Pendant for its own sake, but entirely for the metal fragment.

As for the Jade Pendant, that was just an extra in Ye Xuan’s eyes.

However, suddenly being given the Jade Pendant, Zuo Shi’s pretty face turned slightly red, and then she looked at Ye Xuan with a strange expression. The latter, however, didn’t notice her look and continued on his way.

After Ye Xuan had walked a distance, Zuo Shi murmured to herself, "No good deed goes unpunished, it’s either a trick or theft. Last time you gave me Immortal Spirit Grass, and now you buy a Jade Pendant for me; does this guy have a crush on me?"

Zuo Shi’s beautiful eyes lit up, feeling more and more convinced by her guess, "Alright, you naughty boy, daring to set your sights on your senior sister. I’ll wait for you to confess, then reject you and give you a good humiliation."

With this in mind, Zuo Shi quickly followed after Ye Xuan. If Ye Xuan knew what Zuo Shi was thinking, he would probably spurt out a mouthful of blood.

The team temporarily settled down in Demon City, while Ye Xuan entered his room early, set up a Prohibition on the door, and then started to study the metal fragment.

"Go on then, tell me what’s so special about it."

Ye Xuan turned it over and over, but couldn’t see anything remarkable about the metal fragment—covered with rust, nothing spectacular. Forget the peddler, even he couldn’t tell what was so special about it that it should be associated with the word "treasure."

"Of course there’s something special, you’ll see if you just watch."

A beam of light flew out from the Qiankun Ring on its own, transforming into a scepter. From above the scepter, a strange beam of light suddenly emitted, carrying an extremely ancient fluctuation, which was injected into the metal fragment.

Buzz.

At first, this injection seemed to have no effect, but after two or three minutes, the metal fragment lit up with a mysterious glow. As this light spread, ancient characters began to appear on it.

"Heaven as the image, Earth as the form."

At the instant these six ancient characters formed, a vast and imposing pressure also released from the metal fragment. The silhouette of a book appeared on it, with the metal fragment being just one of its pages. As for the other pages, they were very blurred, and one could not see what was written on them.

"Is this the Earth Emperor Book?"

Ye Xuan could feel an extremely powerful fluctuation from the book, nearly identical to the Human Emperor’s Scepter. If this book wasn’t the Earth Emperor Book, even he wouldn’t believe it.

"This is a fragment of the Earth Emperor Book that appeared within Demon City, so the full Earth Emperor Book must definitely be in the Demon Ruins, there’s no mistake."

The voice of the Human Emperor’s Scepter resounded.

"With this fragment, as long as you’re within a certain distance, you should be able to sense the Earth Emperor Book."

"These twenty thousand Spirit Crystals were well spent."

Ye Xuan’s lips curved into a smile. The Earth Emperor Book was one of the Three Emperors’ Sacred Artifacts, a treasure of the Spirit Martial Continent. If he could obtain it, he would no doubt have another powerful card up his sleeve.

...

Shadow Alliance.

In a gloomy grand hall, two figures stood facing each other. There, seated upon the main seat, was a middle-aged man with a hooked nose. All of them were clad in black robes, their aura deep and obscure.

"Alliance Hierarch, how is the Young Master doing?"

A black-robed elder asked.

"One arm is crippled, and although it was hastily reattached, it’s essentially useless now, greatly affecting his strength."

The middle-aged man with the hooked nose had a somber look in his eyes. As his only son, to be attacked so viciously, how could he swallow this indignity.

"It seems that the Young Master was injured by a Saint from the Heavenly Martial Holy Land. How does the Alliance Hierarch plan to deal with this?" Another black-robed elder asked.

"Blood for blood, of course."

A cold gleam suddenly flashed in the middle-aged man’s eyes. "So what about the Heavenly Martial Holy Land? This is Demon City, the Shadow Alliance’s territory. Moreover, it’s merely a Saint from the Heavenly Martial Holy Land who has dared to be so presumptuous. I will make sure they all come here but never leave."

"But...if we kill so many disciples from the Heavenly Martial Holy Land, won’t it incite the wrath of the Heavenly Martial Holy Land?" One of the black-robed elders showed a look of concern. The Heavenly Martial Holy Land wielded strong influence in the Central Domain. If it were truly provoked, the Shadow Alliance would be no match.

"This is the Demon Ruins. Just use some tricks to kill someone with a borrowed knife. Aren’t there plenty of remnants of the Alien Clan inside these ruins that have always traded with us?" The middle-aged man with the hooked nose revealed a grim smile, then beckoned the two black-robed elders closer and whispered a few words into their ears.

"The Alliance Hierarch’s wisdom is profound."

Both black-robed elders’ eyes lit up, and then sinister smiles spread across their faces in succession. Indeed, their master’s plan was exquisite.

"Then what are you waiting for? Go and get it done."

The middle-aged man with the hooked nose waved, and the two figures in the black robes promptly took their leave, assenting to his command.

"Hmph, Heavenly Martial Holy Land, a bunch of ignorant brats who dare to lay a finger on my son, I’ll make sure you never leave the Demon Ruins."

After the two black-robed elders left, the middle-aged man sneered coldly again. Those who offended the Shadow Alliance had never met a good fate, even those from the Heavenly Martial Holy Land would not be an exception.

...

Three days later.

Ye Xuan and his party took a brief pause and then continued on their journey, entering the Demon Ruins.

It was a vast and undulating mountain range that seemed to have no end in sight. There, towering peaks soared into the heavens, piercing through the clouds, where mist swirled above them. From time to time, various earth-shattering roars of beasts echoed, stirring the Spiritual Energy between heaven and earth.

Yet even such majestic mountains could not hide the tragic aura that rose from the depths of the earth, a testament to a world-shaking battle that had occurred here hundreds of years prior. Countless powerful beings had fallen, leaving behind nothing but heaps of bones.

The sky was dark, and the sun and moon over this place seemed especially dim.

"It truly is where a host of Ancient Strong People have fallen." From a distant peak, Ye Xuan and the others looked at the tragic energy rippling within the Demon Ruins and exclaimed.

"Our team’s training area this time is on the southern side of the mountain range. The Demon Ruins are fraught with peril, filled with fierce Demon Beasts and there are also other forces that have come to the Demon Ruins to hunt for treasure. These people are not easy to deal with, and they’re ruthless. If we truly infringe upon their interests, they will not care where we come from. If there’s profit to be had, they will certainly not show mercy," Zuo Lingyun reminded everyone.

Since it was a training expedition, competition and comparisons among the various teams were inevitable. However, overall, safety came first. After all, simply surviving in the Demon Ruins was the greatest trial.
