Eternal Holy Emperor
Chapter 431 - 384: Entering the Treasure Vault!

Chapter 431: Chapter 384: Entering the Treasure Vault!

The Divine Light Column pierced the sky, reaching the heavens, startling the entire camp and drawing countless gazes.

Many people rushed over, eager to see who was so revered as to have achieved such a terrifying amount of Military Merit.

It was possible that a figure at the level of Saint Master had gone to exchange for treasures.

Meanwhile, in the Military Merit Hall, everyone was dumbstruck, and Luo Jun felt as though he wanted to die.

Just a moment ago, he had been so vocal, but now, looking at the nearly nine million terrifying Military Merit points, in stark contrast to his own mere ten thousand, it seemed pitifully small, as different as heaven and earth.

It was unbelievable how one could accumulate over nine million Military Merit points.

However, Ye Chen paid no attention to all this and instead fixed his cold gaze on the Seventh Elder.

Everyone knew that this time Ye Chen was probably going to settle accounts with the Seventh Elder.

The Seventh Elder, Li Wushan, suddenly changed color and hastily said, "Lord Yue, I was completely in the dark about all this; I was truly misled by this youngster’s words. At first, I thought Luo Jun was framed by a villain, but now it seems that it should be you, Lord Yue. I beg for your forgiveness; I really didn’t know."

Luo Jun’s face turned pale, and he said in panic, "Elder Seven, you can’t do this; you took so much gold from my father and promised to protect me well."

"What are you saying, how dare you slander me?"

The Seventh Elder immediately sent a slap across the void, completely smashing Luo Jun’s mouth, leaving it a bloody mess and his teeth flying out, destroying his handsome face.

Then he made another move and released an invisible Sword Radiance, piercing Luo Jun’s brow with the speed of lightning, annihilating his Primordial Spirit and killing him instantly.

The whole event left people shivering, for the Seventh Elder Li Wushan had been ruthless enough to kill Luo Jun to save his own life.

Ye Chen’s expression remained impassive throughout, as he threw Luo Jun’s corpse aside and walked past Li Wushan.

The Seventh Elder was relieved, though killing Luo Jun meant a complete break with Luo Tianxiong, but what did that matter? If he truly offended Ye Chen, he would comprehend the meaning of endless regret.

Who didn’t know about the close relationship between the Fourth Great Robber, Wang Ming, and Ye Chen? Almost like old friends, he spared no effort in deploying three hundred Barbaric War Riders as protectors and personally entering the Domain Battlefield to confront other Saint Masters, securing Ye Chen’s safe return.

Offending Ye Chen was tantamount to offending the Fourth Great Robber—who in the Green Sun Domain camp would dare to bear the wrath of a Saint Master-level bandit?

And even if Luo Tianxiong knew of this, he would definitely not dare to speak another word.

The blame could only be placed on Luo Jun for provoking Ye Chen.

At this moment, a young and beautiful staff member approached Ye Chen, full of both reverence and ardor, for his fame as well as his strength.

"Lord Yue, your Military Merit has exceeded one million; you may now select treasures from the Heavenly-level area," the young girl said respectfully.

Ye Chen showed a gentle expression, "Please, lead the way."

The young girl felt honored and surprised; she had initially thought Ye Chen to be a very cold and ruthless young True King, especially since he had just tormented Luo Jun and confronted the Seventh Elder. She wasn’t expecting him to speak so kindly and gently, so different from before, making her heart settle down.

"You’re welcome; it’s my duty," she replied quickly.

The young girl walked ahead, her lotus steps delicate and her stride light, subtly revealing the curves of her hips as she moved—a beautiful, enticing figure that captured the attention of men.

For a distinguished and outstanding young talent like Ye Chen, an Immortal True King-level figure, who could not be drawn to his presence, compelling any woman to offer her heart?

Yet, Ye Chen remained calm, not letting his gaze linger on her form, and followed her out of the Military Merit Hall to select treasures from the Treasure Vault.

At this point, people started buzzing with whispers, marveling at Ye Chen’s dominance and reveling in Luo Jun’s misfortune.

Unluckily, he had offended the one person in the entire Green Sun Domain camp who should not have been provoked.

Shortly after, terrifying figures rapidly descended upon the Military Merit Hall, each one radiating an aura of dread, with some so powerful that even the Seventh Elder, Li Wushan, grew pale and respectful.

Among them was Luo Tianxiong; seeing the horrific sight of Luo Jun with a shattered brow, he felt overwhelming rage, but he held back due to the presence of so many higher-ups, instead turning his questioning gaze to Li Wushan.

Although the great doors of the Military Merit Hall had been blown apart and a body lay gruesomely dead on the ground, the high-ranking individuals merely frowned briefly, seemingly indifferent. They were more concerned with the Divine Light Column of Military Merit points.

A high-ranking Semi-Saint cast a sweeping glance and asked, "Li Wushan, tell me, who was it that tested their Military Merit points just now?"

Unconsciously, these high-ranking figures all believed that it must be the appearance of some secret Saint Master Level being testing Military Merit and selecting treasures.

Otherwise, apart from such a being, they could not fathom who else could reach such a terrifying Military Merit value, not even Saints.

The Military Merit was too high, you should know that even hunting a Saint would only yield one million Military Merit points, and over nine million Military Merit points would be equivalent to hunting nine Saints, only Saint Master Level figures of Commander rank could achieve this.

Yet everyone in the Military Merit Hall exhibited strange expressions, and so did Li Wushan, who after hesitating for a moment finally said, "Replying to the lord, those who tested their Military Merit were not the highest Commanders."

"Not the highest Commanders?"

Upon hearing this, the senior powers who had arrived were all greatly shocked and eagerly asked, "If not a Commander, then who was it?"

"It was Lord Yue." Li Wushan informed truthfully.

At once, the collective high-ranking figures were unbelievably shocked—it was the young True King, Yue!

Although they all knew of Ye Chen’s strength, that he had broken through on the Domain Battlefield, reaching the Immortal True King level, and was even considered the foremost among the current generation of the newly arisen, possessing unbeatable combat prowess amongst his peers, he was, after all, merely a Demigod at the peak of True King realm, not one of those unbeatable Immortal True Kings of the previous generation. He was still young with a lower realm, capable of sweeping through the Four Great Kings, matching Super Divinities, but he still shouldn’t have obtained such a horrifying Military Merit value.

Even if he alone swept through the Four Domains Army, obliterating the Heavenly Dragon Army and Red God Army, it would still be impossible to reach this step.

Such a terrifying number was basically unattainable by enemy kills alone.

However, they saw the expressions of everyone in the Military Merit Hall clearly, obviously aware of the situation, and could not be mistaken.

This made them even more astonished; what exactly had the Great Demon King Yue done to earn such a high Military Merit value?

Subconsciously, they thought of the Fourth Great Bandit, Wang Ming. At that time, Wang Ming had already entered the Domain Battlefield; perhaps it was Wang Ming who transferred his Military Merit to Ye Chen, allowing him to select sufficiently precious treasures.

This was the only explanation that made sense; the powers looked at each other and nodded in agreement, otherwise Ye Chen, no matter how powerful, could not possibly earn nine million Military Merit in just one entry to the Domain Battlefield.

"Where is Yue?" a high-ranking figure asked.

Li Wushan replied, "Lord Yue has already entered the Treasure Vault to select treasures."

"Very well, we will wait here for Yue’s appearance and ask him then," the high-ranking figures decided.

Meanwhile, Luo Tianxiong stepped forward to Li Wushan, anger spilling over as he spoke coldly, "Li Wushan, was it you who killed my son, Luo Jun?"

He was powerful and saw that in Luo Jun’s glabella were traces similar to the Dao which matched Li Wushan’s Divine Arts, hence he suspected.

"If blame must be cast, it’s only because your Luo Jun was unlucky to provoke Yue. Aren’t you aware of Yue’s background, with the support of the Fourth Great Bandit, Wang Ming? Would you dare to offend him? His death was not without reason, who else could he blame when he even dragged me down with him?"

Li Wushan sneered and without paying further heed to Luo Tianxiong, walked away.

At this time, Ye Chen had already followed the staff to the front of the Treasure Vault.

The Military Merit Hall Treasure Vault was divided into four major areas, distinguished by the four grades of Heavenly Earth Xuanhuang.

The levels of the treasures naturally followed this categorization, each placed into different Treasure Halls.

Among them, the Yellow-level Treasure Vault contained the most items, a dazzling array yet regarded as the lowest. The Heavenly-level Treasure Vault held the fewest treasures, pitifully scarce, countable on one’s fingers, but each required a substantial amount of Military Merit to exchange, ranging from hundreds of thousands to terrifyingly requiring up to tens of millions.

Gazing at four ancient doors that led, respectively, to the four Treasure Vaults of Heavenly, Earth, Xuan, and Yellow levels.

"Your Highness, you only need to enter the Treasure Vault and choose the treasures you need; then inside, you’ll deduct the necessary Military Merit from the Military Merit Token with the guardians to exchange for the desired treasures," the young girl reminded softly.

Ye Chen smiled warmly, "Thank you."

What was surprising was that Ye Chen did not immediately enter the Heavenly-level Treasure Vault, but instead stepped into the lowest Yellow-level Treasure Vault.

Ye Chen knew that though the Yellow-level Vault’s treasures were considered the least, this was only in comparison to the other three vaults, and there should actually be some decent items.

The Treasure Vault space was enormous, with rows of neatly arranged shelves densely packed, almost filling the entire Yellow-level Vault space.

Moreover, atop were placed treasures of various kinds, divided by type, and each categorized from low to high according to necessary Military Merit.

From Spiritual Medicine, weapons, refining materials, Divine Power Secret Techniques, Cultivation Handbooks, Pills, maps, to various other miscellaneous categories, there was nearly everything one could wish for.

These treasures were all items collected by the many Commanders and high-ranking officers from the Domain Battlefield or unwanted treasures deposited into the Vault, a method to incentivize the soldiers to fight diligently in the Domain Battles.
