Chapter 18 The Imperial Weapon is great, now it's mine!
After stripping Duan De naked, leaving him only in his underwear, he turned his attention to Duan De's sea of consciousness. The truly valuable treasures were all in the other party's divine treasure. He directly reached out and retrieved several treasures from Duan De's sea of consciousness, which immediately emitted a dazzling divine light, almost submerging the cave.
These are nine weapons: a jade knife, a purple jade sword, a red jade spear, a black jade halberd, a white jade shield... Each of these nine jade weapons is only a few inches in size, yet they radiate brilliance and are dazzling, emitting a breathtaking aura.
These are the legendary Nine Divine Weapons, the weapons of kings.
"With these nine divine weapons in hand, we can get through the early stages."
In addition to these, he also found a total of forty or fifty treasures from Duan De's Sea of Wheels, including the Purple Gold Gourd, the White Jade Pagoda, and the Crimson Blood Divine Spear, which floated in the void, radiating auspicious light and dazzling brilliance.
Even the most inconspicuous earthenware pot is a rare treasure. If a medicinal herb with tens of thousands of years of medicinal age is planted in it, it can be slowly cultivated into a king of herbs.
After emptying the Sea of Wheels, he also emptied Duan De's Dao Palace Secret Realm. One after another, divine lights flew out, surrounded by auspicious colors and misty haze.
"Tsk tsk."
"Water-repelling beads!"
"Fire-repelling pearl!"
These two precious pearls are impervious to water and fire, making them extremely rare and divine materials for refining artifacts. They can be used to create special secret treasures.
In addition, there is a rusty bronze lamp with a faint flame flickering. The lamp base is inscribed with the words "Heavenly Demon" in a demonic script resembling a dragon and phoenix. It is none other than the Heavenly Demon Lamp, a divine weapon of kings.
Zhao Tianpeng put away the dozens of weapons and focused his gaze on Duan De's brow. There lay what he wanted. He probed Duan De's heart with his divine sense and immediately felt a terrifying pressure. He saw a broken bowl floating between Duan De's brows, swallowing and spitting out the stars of the universe. Its interior was incredibly deep, like a star field, emanating supreme pressure that made people want to kneel down. Beside it was a treasure basin containing many treasures, all of various colors. Among them, a sword stood out, engraved with the words "King of the Underworld," and there was also an ancient whip shaped like a dragon, which was also quite extraordinary.
"Devouring Demon Cover!"
Zhao Tianpeng stared intently at the broken bowl, which was sealed with dozens of layers of seals. Was this the power of an imperial weapon? This was only in its dormant state. If it were to be resurrected in its complete state, what kind of power would it possess?
"The Imperial Weapon is excellent; it's mine now."
Zhao Tianpeng used his divine sense to forcefully pull the Treasure Basin and the Devouring Demon Lid. The Treasure Basin was easy to pull out, but the Devouring Demon Lid felt like pulling a mountain range when he tried to drag it. It was incredibly heavy. If he hadn't been cultivating the Qianzi Secret Technique during this period, which greatly strengthened his already powerful divine sense, he probably wouldn't have been able to move it.
However, he eventually managed to drag the Devouring Demon Cover out.
Zhao Tianpeng put away the Devouring Demon Cover and the Treasure Basin, then used the Great Luo Silver Essence Pagoda to collect the Jade Bone Corpse. Finally, he looked at Duan De, who was left with only a pair of underwear on the ground, and couldn't bear it. He took a set of clothes from the people he had collected and draped them over Duan De before turning and leaving.
After leaving the cave, he returned to Xiao Nannan's side. Duan De had left a mark on the Devouring Demon's Cover, which he had to remove as soon as possible. Otherwise, if the other party used a powerful spell to summon this half of the Emperor's Weapon, he would not be able to keep it.
"Little girl, how about you do your brother a favor?"
"OK."
The little girl was very happy that she could help Zhao Tianpeng.
Zhao Tianpeng took out the Devouring Demon Cover and handed it to the little girl: "Slap it."
Without a second thought, the little girl slapped the Devouring Demon Cover. The moment her hand touched it, the Devouring Demon Cover seemed to come alive, absorbing and exhaling the essence of heaven and earth. In an instant, it drained the spiritual energy of the entire mountain range. With a slight tremor, the dozens of layers of seals applied to it shattered like an eggshell, and a blood-red brand imprinted on it also shattered with a crash.
"boom!"
An invisible wave swept across, turning the entire mountain into dust. Only Zhao Tianpeng, who was empowered by a quasi-emperor's forbidden artifact, and the little girl he was protecting stood in place.
The Devouring Demon Canopy transformed into a streak of dark light, swirling around the little girl. Zhao Tianpeng chuckled to himself, "Tsk, look at all this sealing and branding. What's the use? When she meets her former master, she just wags her tail and runs over."
The little girl reached out and grabbed the Devouring Demon Cover that was circling around her, handing it to Zhao Tianpeng: "Big brother, here."
Zhao Tianpeng patted her little head: "Little girl, you're really amazing."
After praising the little girl, he opened his mouth and spat out a breath of innate essence, which landed on the Devouring Demon's lid and condensed into a mark. He then stored it in his Sea of Wheels.
"Let's go."
Zhao Tianpeng took the little girl and left the place, preparing to find a domain gate to cross over to the Northern Domain.
Duan De had already woken up. He stared blankly at the top of the stone chamber above. The roof was unfamiliar. He suddenly got up, and the clothes he was wearing fell off. He saw that he had been stripped naked. He then searched the various treasures, but they were all empty. All the treasures had disappeared. He immediately let out a heart-wrenching howl, his voice as mournful as a lone wolf.
"You heartless Heavenly Venerable... you son of a bitch!" Duan De was so furious that he almost vomited blood. His innate essence gushed out from his seven orifices, and his whole body seemed to be on fire.
Those were countless treasures he had painstakingly collected over thirty years of archaeological work, risking being hunted down by various holy lands and powerful families. Among them were many king-level divine weapons, but most importantly, half of an imperial weapon was missing. That was what really got him killed.
"Aaaaaah..."
"Born!"
Duan De frantically pounded his chest, trying to lessen his heartache.
"Wait, the brand! I left a brand on that treasure!"
Duan De, as if grasping at a straw, immediately sat down cross-legged, using blood as a catalyst, and chanted incantations. Dark clouds pressed down from the sky, creating an extremely terrifying scene.
Strands of blood flowed, and leaden clouds pressed down to the ground. A vast ancient formation was activated, raging in all directions, like an ancient king rising from the ashes.
Lightning flashed and thunder roared, crimson lightning intertwined, and under the pitch-black sky, it was as if ancient war spirits were awakening and returning, emitting terrifying waves like a vast ocean.
However, this massive commotion received no response whatsoever. Even after the celestial phenomenon dissipated, Duan De couldn't sense the mark he had left on the treasure. This made him realize he had completely lost the Devouring Demon Canopy, and his lips trembled with rage: "Birth!"
"Don't let me find out who you are!"
"Otherwise, I'll have to excavate the graves of your ancestors for eighteen generations a hundred times over!"
Zhao Tianpeng, already a thousand miles away, felt a slight stirring in his heart. He sensed someone talking about him. Ever since he began cultivating the Pre-Word Secret and comprehending the principle of foresight, although he couldn't yet predict the future, it resonated with his clear, bright mind, like a mirror polished by divine marks and purple gold, forming an ability that allowed him to sense anyone talking about him within ten thousand miles. Perhaps when his Pre-Word Secret cultivation reached the point where he could foresee the future, this ability, resonating with his mind, would become one where everything spoken would be known.
