Chapter 433: Chapter 386: Dao Blood, Void Tree, Fragments!

In the Heavenly-level Treasure Vault, there were altogether thirteen Divine Light Groups, each enveloping a priceless treasure, rare and invaluable, obtained from some of the most terrifying domain wars of ancient times. It was even possible that Heavenly King Level supreme treasures resided within, treasures that would incite envy and desire in anyone in the outside world.

Merely the first Divine Light Group already contained the Dao Essence Blood of a Heavenly King Invincible, making one wonder what precious items the following treasures would be.

Ye Chen approached the second Divine Light Group, his gaze penetrating the Divine Light to inspect its interior, piercing through all Dao Rules.

Visible within the Divine Light Group was a small tree about half the height of a person. Oddly enough, it appeared to be just a small tree, but its trunk was robust and vigorous, seemingly covered in dragon scales.

With numerous branches and lush foliage, its canopy was enormous, unfolding small yet lustrous leaves that seemed very large.

If magnified, it would undoubtedly be a Cangtian-sized tree, yet it appeared only half-person tall, which was rather peculiar.

What surprised Ye Chen even more was that this strange little tree seemed to blend with the void, marked by strands of Void Trace, interwoven with the void. Had it not been clearly visible before his eyes, even Ye Chen would have found it difficult to detect merely through sensing.

"Void Tree!"

Upon seeing all this, Ye Chen realized that the small tree before him was the legendary Void Tree.

As the name suggested, the Void Tree naturally resonated with the Void Dao, a Divine Tree said to produce a fruit every thousand years, the Void Fruit. Once consumed, it would grant one the ability to control the void and manipulate it at will.

Among the Heavenly and Ten Thousand Paths, time is honored, and space is king—this sufficed to prove the preciousness of the Void Tree.

However, what concerned Ye Chen even more was that, according to legend, the Void Tree was a branch that had inadvertently fallen from the World Tree, the first tree since the creation of heaven and earth, which disappeared after the previous epoch.

Later, an Ancient Great Power obtained it, wishing to cultivate it into a true World Tree. They spared no effort, watering it with Divine Spring and nourishing it with Ancestor Vein essence. They even collected essence from Heavenly Stars beyond their domain, continually nurturing it for a whole ten thousand years until it finally took root and grew into a remarkable Divine Tree.

Although it was not the World Tree in the end, it mastered the Void Dao, could stabilize the void in the Great World, and could bear Void Fruits, granting people control over certain aspects of the Void Dao.

Of course, it wasn’t that Void Ancestor Tree, located far away within the Secret Realm of that Ancient Great Power, a treasure of the Supreme Sacred Land.

The Void Tree before Ye Chen was merely a sapling that grew from a fallen fruit of the Void Ancestor Tree. It could also produce Void Fruits and allow one to comprehend certain Void Laws, at least mastering the Saint Level Void Dao.

Ye Chen glanced at the Military Merit value of the Void Tree, and his scalp tingled. Although it was not as costly as the Dao Essence Blood, it still required a whopping 2.27 million Military Merit.

At that moment, Elder Yan’s voice suddenly rang out in Ye Chen’s mind, "Little Chenzi, if there are no other treasures later that move your heart, take this Void Tree."

After absorbing some of the Dao Essence Blood and Void Dao Divine Blood of the Ice Flame Heavenly King, Elder Yan’s cultivation began to climb, allowing him to communicate with Ye Chen without being detected by others, undetectable even to Saint Master Level existences.

Startled, Ye Chen replied, "Elder Yan, Yaya is already a World Tree. What use is this Void Tree to us? If we wait for Yaya to grow, it can also produce Void Fruits, perhaps even containing stronger Void Principles."

Elder Yan said, "You’re mistaken. Although Yaya is more noble, for the World Tree to fully grow is extremely difficult; it won’t be a smooth journey—just as your Combat Saint Lineage faces numerous obstacles in achieving Great Success. Furthermore, the purpose of this Void Tree is not for the Void Fruits, that’s merely trivial. In truth, once you refine it into your body and merge it with your internal space, you’ll be able to control an even more powerful Void Dao."

"On the path of cultivation, as soon as one transcends reincarnation and reaches the Heavenly King Realm, one can unlock additional, greater Divine Treasure forces within the body, transforming into an Inner Heaven and Earth."

"The size of this Inner Heaven and Earth depends on one’s strength and also relates to external objects. If you transplant the Void Tree into your Inner Heaven and Earth, it can merge together, completely stabilizing your Inner Heaven and Earth and allowing you to open up an even more vast and expansive space, as well as mastering a more powerful Inner Heaven and Earth Power."

Ye Chen had an epiphany, understanding the importance of Inner Heaven and Earth. Although he was well-informed, Elder Yan seemed to have seen and known more than him, his past identity arousing Ye Chen’s curiosity.

However, Ye Chen did not purchase it immediately but continued to look at other supreme treasures, not wanting to miss out on more significant items.

Soon, he indeed discovered several other invaluable treasures, including a Ten-thousand-year-old Medicine Treasure that could revive the dead and regenerate flesh from bones, extending life by three hundred years. For many old immortals nearing their life’s end, this was the most precious treasure, incomparable to anything else.

Valued at four million Military Merit.

Yet, such a Ten-thousand-year-old Medicine Treasure was the least precious item in the place for Ye Chen, as he had already plundered more than a couple from the Medicine Garden of Jiuyue Great Power. Naturally, he would not waste four million Military Merit.

Then, he discovered a Divine Platform, crafted entirely from Five-colored Divine Jade, resembling an altar, inscribed with profound Innate Dao Patterns and Space Array Patterns.

This was the Void Divine Platform, similar to a Space Gate or Domain Gate, capable of rapidly traversing the void, a treasure that could traverse the world, crossing tens of thousands of miles in one leap.

If the spatial coordinates were set and sufficient energy or spirit stones provided as a drive, one could even traverse the Great Domain.

But the price was just as exorbitant, requiring 1.3 million military credits.

Unfortunately, for many people, its function seemed rather superfluous. To traverse domains, one could use the domain gates of Domain Lord Divine Cities, and to travel within the Great Domain, one could use the space gates between ancient cities.

Moreover, the energy consumption was excessively high, and the spirit stones needed were often more than tens of thousands of pounds, hence the military credits required were even lower than for other supreme treasures.

But both Ye Chen and Elder Yan had set their sights on it; this was the greatest treasure of them all. In case of danger or anything amiss, one could immediately traverse the void and escape, far more convenient and swift than any space gate or domain gate.

Right away, Ye Chen used his military credit token to emit a divine light, redeeming 1.3 million military credits to exchange for the Void Divine Platform.

Afterward, he turned his gaze to the other divine light groups containing treasures. Indeed, every treasure within the Heavenly-level Treasure Vault was a truly priceless treasure, with none being ordinary.

Naturally, there were also the handwritten cultivation notes of the Heavenly King Invincible, which were rumored to contain insights into transcending reincarnation. If released, they would be enough to drive all peerless warriors nearing reincarnation absolutely mad.

Reincarnation was the most mysterious; there were no side paths, only one road, as well as the experiences summarized by predecessors, offering invaluable methods.

There were also formulas for refining high-level Immortal Pills, specifically the Nine-Revolution Divine Pills. It was said that upon successful refinement and consumption, one was as good as having an extra life, with a chance to revive from death, even if one’s form and spirit were completely obliterated.

A moment later, Ye Chen’s gaze landed on one of the last treasures, and when he saw what it was, his pupils suddenly halted.

This was not some peerless practical treasure, not Dao Essence Blood, nor the supreme divine skills of the Heavenly King Invincible, nor a King-level Ancient Weapon.

It was a rather ordinary fragment, made of bronze, simple and unadorned. Smooth and intact on the front, while the back had ancient patterns of birds and beasts, extremely ancient, more like a series of sacrificial texts.

However, it was but a fragment, roughly the size of a palm, so the patterns on it were also fragmentary.

There was an inscription next to the Divine Light Group, which introduced it as an item obtained by the Heavenly King Invincible of the Qingyang Domain during the second war in the Dark Domain, in a bloody battle with some other Heavenly Kings Invincible from various domains—very ordinary but mysterious, ancient beyond measure, and possibly even related to the Epoch of Mythical Times.

At least, not even the Heavenly King Invincible could shatter this bronze fragment in the slightest.

"This is—"

Ye Chen’s eyes instantly sharpened to needle points, and he also felt a ripple in Elder Yan’s emotions.

It seemed that Elder Yan might also suspect the origins of this bronze fragment.

Because the origin of this bronze fragment was truly unknown, although it was speculated to be a piece of a Divine Treasure Map, it was too fragmented, hence it only required 300,000 military credits.

Right then, Ye Chen immediately made the purchase, cautiously put it away, his expression solemn, yet also... excited!

He could never have imagined that he would obtain a bronze fragment here, a stroke of great luck.

Ye Chen could not be said to be deeply unfamiliar with the bronze fragment, because it was a piece of the Heavenly Divine Treasures Map. Complete, there were about twelve or thirteen segments. In his previous life, he had collected six of them, a full half.

Legend had it that it was an Emperor’s Treasure left by a supreme ruler of the Mythical Era, containing the secrets to becoming an emperor, as well as that Great Emperor’s Supreme Inheritance.

At this moment, Elder Yan’s voice also rang in his mind: "Little Chenzi, you are very fortunate to have obtained such a fragment. If you collect them all, you will gain unimaginably priceless rewards."

Hearing this, Ye Chen was slightly surprised—did Elder Yan also know the origins of the bronze fragment?

He couldn’t help but probe and asked a question: "Elder Yan, is it really possible that the hidden Heavenly Divine Treasures Map is the Divine Treasure of a supreme emperor from the Mythical Era?"

Although Elder Yan was puzzled by how Ye Chen also knew this, he nonetheless nodded solemnly at this moment: "You are correct, it is indeed possible that it is a Divine Treasure left by a supreme emperor, and it’s very likely that it was left by one of the strongest Supreme Emperors from ancient times."

"Who?" Ye Chen was startled.

"The Heavenly Emperor!"
