Boom!
After staring at the cold pool for a while, the group discovered things such as a sword blank forged from dragon bone iron and an almost spiritual magical artifact embryo.
Immediately, many people became excited and rushed forward, some even leaping into the air and jumping into the cold pool to try and retrieve the embryo of the magical artifact.
However, a terrible thing happened. As soon as they approached the icy pool, a chilling aura spread out, freezing more than a hundred people into pieces, who then tore each other apart and died on the spot.
The people behind them felt a chill run down their spines and immediately stopped.
Even the envious kings and nobles couldn't help but stop in their tracks, gazing at the icy pool with expressions of apprehension.
That chill...
Cao Ya was also horrified, not only because of the temperature, but also because of the lurking divine power.
A king or nobleman attempted to catch fish from a distance; divine light surged forth, dispelling the chill, and he revealed a look of delight.
However, the magical runes fell into the icy pool and didn't even cause a ripple; they went out immediately and had no effect whatsoever.
and--
Boom!!!
The cold pool was stirred, and waves shot out, striking the king and nobleman.
The king's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly retreated. However, his servants screamed in agony, unable to dodge in time. They were frozen into ice sculptures by the waves, their flesh cracked, and they all died.
Suddenly, powerful figures from the sea appeared, confident that they were not afraid of the coldness of the pool.
Mo Shang, a descendant of the Sea God, Han Tian, a prodigy of the Firefish Clan, and the Mermaid Princess, among others, all mobilized to shake off the cold air and capture the embryo of the magical artifact.
However, they overestimated their strength and nearly froze to death on the spot.
However, after reaching its ultimate sublimation and revealing its strongest power, it barely withstood the chill.
Upon seeing this, the people by the pool immediately realized what was happening.
"Ah, that's right. Kunpeng left behind a treasure for the purpose of inheritance. He deliberately suppressed his cultivation to the Spirit Transformation Realm, which must have a deeper meaning."
"It seems that Kunpeng is selecting invincible powerhouses in the Spirit Transformation Realm!"
The crowd sighed, and some who felt they lacked the ability pondered for a moment before leaving.
This place is vast; there's no need to waste time here. Other places also have rare and wonderful treasures.
What remains are those with confidence and strength that can meet the requirements of Kunpeng.
Cao Ya and the others also stayed behind.
whoosh whoosh~~~
The group leaped into the icy pool, unleashing their strongest divine power to isolate themselves from the cold and retrieve the embryonic form of the magical artifact.
However, the magical artifacts possessed a spirit, swimming like fish and swiftly dodging, giving people no chance.
Swish~~~
Cao Ya stretched out his hand, and the Milky Way meandered, instantly covering half of the cold pool, dispersing the cold air. Not only the magical artifacts in the pool, but also the water of the cold pool were taken away.
"Damn it, that guy Dahuang Sanren... he's not human!" a Venerable cursed under his breath, but immediately followed suit.
Instantly, various divine lights surged and shone within the weapon-forging ground.
The precious technique landed in the icy pool, stimulating its divine power. Endless cold currents surged forth, surging in all directions.
Holy crap!
"That guy, the Great Wilderness Hermit... he's a beast!"
Everyone was terrified and turned to flee.
That damned Wilderness Hermit is so hateful! His recklessness could kill someone; people curse him endlessly.
Cao Ya was also soaked, but the golden light was so intense that it dispelled the cold current. It was just a pity that he didn't receive the magic weapon.
Suddenly, Cao Ya stared at the bottom of the cold pool, his pupils contracting.
In that place, there is a delicate and magnificent pagoda, possessing a strong spiritual power, that seems to float in the icy pool.
"Heavens! That's a sacred tower built from chaotic soil, far more precious than the sword embryo forged from dragon bone iron!" an ancient patriarch of a great sect exclaimed from the shore.
Chaos Soil, though called soil, is actually a top-tier sacred object. Once forged into a treasure, it is indestructible and even gods cannot destroy it.
Moreover, the pagoda also had chaotic runes imprinted on it.
That's enough to drive anyone crazy!
Chaos runes are rare treasures that even gods would envy!
"What a treasure!" Shi Hao's eyes lit up as he also set his sights on the pagoda.
Cao Ya glanced at Shi Hao, especially at the small pagoda hanging from Shi Hao's hair, which remained dormant and motionless.
In the end, many powerful figures, including Shi Hao, went to fight for the pagoda, while Cao Ya plundered other magical artifact embryos, and the dragon bone iron sword embryo fell into his hands.
After receiving the sword embryo, Cao Ya glanced around and saw Shi Hao fighting fiercely, trying to seize the exquisite pagoda.
But the exquisite pagoda built of chaotic soil seemed to be avoiding Shi Hao, and instantly sank to the bottom of the cold pool, slipping away from Shi Hao.
Shi Hao was furious and went berserk. The ten great caves opened and transformed into a dazzling divine sun. He stood in it, like a sun god, with an invincible aura.
Even Mo Shang, a descendant of the Sea God, was sent flying by Shi Hao at this moment.
Mo Shang was shocked and enraged. He grabbed his golden halberd and cleaved Shi Hao's head in order to avenge his humiliation.
There was also a Venerable One roaring, spitting out a cloud of runes that engulfed Shi Hao, attempting to suppress him.
"Go!" Cao Ya made his move, unleashing a heavenly river that shocked the world. Layer upon layer of magic arrays severely injured those powerful figures on the spot, and even pure-blooded beings coughed up blood.
In addition, Maoqiu and Dashenshi also joined the effort to buy time for Shi Hao.
The fluffy ball shimmered and squeaked, annoying many people.
The God-Slaying Stone roared and flew around. In a short while, many people were hit. Their foreheads split open, blood flowed down, their faces turned ashen, and they were furious.
Damn it, I got tricked by a rock!
“The God-Slaying Stone…” Cao Ya glanced at it. This was one of the Ten Ancient Fiends, and there were only a few of them.
But compared to the mighty and unparalleled Kunpeng, the God-Slaying Stone is far too inconspicuous.
Among the Ten Ancient Fiends, there are all kinds of races, including birds, beasts, scaled creatures, plants, and even non-living things that have awakened their spirits.
Shi Hao roared as well, brandishing his broken sword, ready to fight these powerful figures.
"Shi Hao!" Cao Ya frowned and immediately sent a telepathic message to remind Shi Hao that they should hold off the powerful figures while Shi Hao focused on taking away the exquisite pagoda.
Shi Hao realized what was happening, nodded repeatedly, and took the opportunity to sink.
Cao Ya didn't set his sights on the exquisite tower.
He knew it was an ancient magical artifact, already imbued with spirit; though it lacked a divine soul, it was still extraordinary.
Rather than trying to gain the approval of the Linglong Pagoda, it would be better to refine other magical artifacts, such as this Dragon Bone Iron Sword Embryo, which is worth nurturing.
Rumble!!!
Cao Ya made a fierce and unparalleled move, his hands seemingly turning a galaxy, and no matter how frantically the group of powerful figures went, they couldn't get an inch forward.
Everyone stared in disbelief, absolutely certain that Cao Ya, the Wanderer of the Great Wilderness, had become a god!
Damn it, a god comes to compete with them for treasure, have they no shame?
Cao Ya stated that all gods are nothing but trash in front of the Primordial Female Kunpeng.
"Great Wilderness Hermit, I'm leaving this place to you," the God-Slaying Stone transmitted telepathically. He recognized Cao Ya and had met him before.
I've been following Shi Hao for quite some time now.
Then Cao Ya saw the God-Slaying Stone slump into the water.
"Good baby, give me a bite!" The God-Slaying Stone roared and chased after the pagoda made of chaotic soil, crashing into it repeatedly, trying to break the exquisite pagoda so it could slowly devour it.
Clearly, the God-Slaying Stone's teeth were insufficient, its strength inadequate, and it could not swallow the stone directly. Even impacting it was useless, unable to damage the exquisite pagoda.
Shi Hao dived down, and with the God-Slaying Stone in pursuit, the Linglong Pagoda panicked and ran in disarray. Shi Hao reacted quickly and grabbed it in one swift motion.
Although the Linglong Pagoda possesses extremely strong spirituality, it has not yet, like the Divine Stone, directly given birth to a soul or something similar, becoming a living being.
"Give it to me, and I'll definitely obey you from now on," the God-Slaying Stone cried out. This thing was too important to it; if it could be refined, it could undergo another transformation.
As Shi Hao was examining the Linglong Pagoda, a faint yet extremely terrifying will suddenly resounded in his mind.
