Urban Invincible Overlord-Chapter 1284 - 1281: The Importance of Magic Treasures
When the Southern Domain followers retreated, the corpses of the dozen Foundation Establishment cultivators who were slain were not taken away.
The storage bags on these bodies contained many valuable items, combined with the loot from over two hundred Southern Domain cultivators who had come to trade earlier, every Earth cultivator now had access to at least one storage bag.
There was also an abundance of elixirs necessary for cultivation; in short, for the Earth Cultivation World, the elixirs needed by Qi Refinement Realm and Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators are sufficient for the foreseeable future.
"Sun Xingyu, show everyone that Eight Trigrams Mirror." Umekawa Taro couldn’t help but say to Sun Xingyu.
Earlier, when Sun Xingyu saw Li Yucheng from the Great Dao Sect blocking Wang Lei’s domineering sword with just the Eight Trigrams Mirror, he instantly desired it and directly killed Li Yucheng to seize the mirror.
Yang Fei and many others witnessed this, and Wang Lei couldn’t help but say, "Indeed. Try out this Magic Treasure. At the time, I exerted all my strength, intending to destroy it with one strike, but that Eight Trigrams Light Shield completely blocked my sword. This Magic Treasure’s defensive capabilities are truly impressive."
All eyes were on Sun Xingyu.
Among the treasures obtained from the dozen Southern Domain dead today, no particularly powerful Magic Treasures stood out, except for the one Sun Xingyu seized, which was indeed extraordinary. Everyone was eager to see if Sun Xingyu could use this Magic Treasure.
Seeing everyone’s gaze, Sun Xingyu did not hold back and took out the Eight Trigrams Mirror. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮
Earlier, he secretly used Divine Sense and Magical Power to communicate with it. Although he could establish a certain connection with the Magic Treasure, he was not proficient.
Now, after a while of trying, as his Divine Sense communicated with the treasure and his energy activated it, the Eight Trigrams Mirror emitted a faint golden glow.
Sun Xingyu’s heart sank, his Divine Thought surged out, and his magical power was fully unleashed.
However, the radiance emitted by the Eight Trigrams Mirror was still limited, as if restricted, unable to be fully controlled by him.
Lu Chen said, "This item belonged to Li Yucheng of the Great Dao Sect and was recognized by the owner. Now that Li Yucheng is dead, it has lost its true master, allowing you to establish a certain communication with the Magic Treasure, but not fully control it. Here is a Returning Origin Stone; use it to reset the Magic Treasure, and then establish a new contractual relationship with it, making it yours. Once it recognizes a new master, it can unleash its maximum power."
This was the first time anyone from Earth had heard of such a situation, and they all found it astonishing.
With a flip of his palm, a smooth stone radiating special spiritual power appeared in his hand, and he handed it to Sun Xingyu.
Sun Xingyu took the Returning Origin Stone, puzzled, and asked, "How do I use it?"
Lu Chen said, "It’s simple. You just need to inject the special spiritual power from the Returning Origin Stone into the Magic Treasure using magical power to complete its binding to the previous master."
Yang Fei smiled and said, "It’s like restoring a phone to factory settings."
Everyone laughed, and Lu Chen followed suit, saying, "Haha, that’s exactly it."
At that moment, Sun Xingyu activated his magical power to guide the special spiritual power from the Returning Origin Stone into the Eight Trigrams Mirror Magic Treasure.
Moments later, he could distinctly feel that the Eight Trigrams Mirror had less resistance against him, and his Divine Sense communication with it had become much smoother.
Li Yue said, "That’s about right. Just drop a drop of your blood to establish a master-servant relationship."
Sun Xingyu immediately did as instructed.
Afterward, he delightedly discovered that the Magic Treasure seemed to have its own spirit, fitting with him perfectly. It could be activated at any time with just a thought.
So he unleashed his magical power, and dazzling golden light shone in the void, a massive Eight Trigrams Totem Golden Shield appearing in the air.
Enveloped by this Eight Trigrams Golden Shield, Sun Xingyu felt a certain isolation from the surrounding world.
His confidence soared, and he said to Wang Lei, "Try it out."
Wang Lei’s eyes gleamed, "Alright, be careful."
Sun Xingyu nodded, "No worries. Even if it can’t block, I can escape."
Hearing this, Wang Lei didn’t hold back. A powerful Sword Intent surged from him.
Everyone around was moved.
Even though this wasn’t the first time witnessing Wang Lei unleash his terrifying Sword Intent, each experience brought a chilling despair, as if locked by an invisible blade, ready to fall at any moment, causing despair.
Too powerful!
Among those present, even the top experts like Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang were inexplicably wary and fearful of Wang Lei’s rampant Sword Intent.
Everyone couldn’t help but ask themselves the same question.
If faced with Wang Lei’s strike, could they withstand it, or escape?
The answer left many in despair.
Wang Lei’s Sword Intent was so strong that it brought hopelessness to cultivators of the same realm.
In the moment Sun Xingyu was locked by Wang Lei’s Sword Intent, his first instinct was to flee.
Though he understood Space Law and had superb combat skills as the most formidable assassin, in a direct confrontation, he might not be as exceptional as Wang Chunyang, Helian Zhan, and Yang Fei.
Facing Wang Lei’s Sword Intent at this moment, he knew directly confronting it was impossible.
Yet, just as a sense of dread surfaced within him, the Eight Trigrams Mirror responded, infusing him with immense confidence.
"Break!"
With a loud shout, Wang Lei swung his sword at Sun Xingyu.
Golden light surged, and the Eight Trigrams Mirror was pushed to its limit by Sun Xingyu.
"Duang!"
A muffled roaring sound spread.
Golden light scattered; the Eight Trigrams Shield Seal’s glow dimmed slightly, but the Eight Trigrams Totem remained intact, protecting Sun Xingyu.
However, the immense impact sent Sun Xingyu along with the Eight Trigrams Mirror flying backward.
Wang Lei was also knocked back, and his lifted right hand trembled slightly.
The previous intense battle, coupled with the full-force strike, had drained Wang Lei of considerable magical power. His face was flushed, and large beads of sweat formed on his forehead.
"Hahaha, it’s indeed a treasure." Sun Xingyu was ecstatic, laughing as the Magic Treasure had directly blocked Wang Lei’s fierce strike.
Wang Lei looked at him enviously, saying, "Indeed, it’s a great treasure. Your Space Law Divine Skills are adept at assassination, and now with such a powerful Defensive Magical Treasure, you are indeed like a tiger with wings. In the same realm, defeating you is almost impossible unless the opponent also possesses a strong Defense Type Magic Treasure. Otherwise, no one can win against you in a duel."
Yang Fei and others silently nodded.
Everyone gazed enviously at the Eight Trigrams Mirror.
It was truly a treasure.
Yang Fei suddenly snorted, "Damn, we shouldn’t have let those Flame Moon Sect folks redeem the Mixed Element Bell and the Glazed Soul-Seizing Banner last time."
Qin Yanyang felt somewhat regretful as well, saying, "Indeed, those two Magic Treasures were great, it’s a pity we lost them."
Qin Huai’an sighed, "Wasn’t it to ease the relations between the two realms at the time? If we didn’t return the items, we wouldn’t have secured over a decade of peace."
Everyone silently nodded.
Yang Fei said, "We’ll seize them again if there’s an opportunity in the future. Moreover, from the recent battles with Southern Domain cultivators, I’ve realized our overall battle prowess isn’t inferior to theirs, but they carry so many talismans and Magic Treasures enhancing their attacks and boasting great defense. We are at a disadvantage fighting against them, and we need to gather more effective Magic Treasures."
Everyone agreed with this sentiment.
The day’s victory was thanks to Yang Fei and others utilizing the Mountain Protection Array’s offensive capabilities to kill several Southern Domain cultivators initially. Subsequently, the might of Wang Lei, Sun Xingyu, several Blood Clan elites, Helian Zhan, and Wang Chunyang, paired with the support of over forty Spiritual Puppets, forced the Southern Domain cultivators to retreat. Without these factors, the Southern Domain’s overall strength was stronger.
On the other side, having fled far from White Jade City, the Southern Domain cultivators gathered.
All of their faces were dejected, full of frustration.
"Are we just going back like this?"
Someone asked.
Everyone fell silent.
"Going back would be too shameful," someone said angrily.
"Let’s go to Penglai Immortal Mountain and completely unseal the Penglai Immortal Realm, unleashing the demon beast army to attack White Jade City. Otherwise, returning now would be utterly humiliating."
"Yes, to Penglai Immortal Mountain."
Without hesitation, everyone agreed and headed towards the location of Penglai Immortal Mountain.
