Chapter 1060: The Vault Breach

His opponents were all body Integration stage cultivators, and killing even one took a significant toll.

The beast puppets weren’t strong enough to handle other powerful enemies, forcing Vryss’laar to use the array’s power to teleport opponents from different factions together.

After doing this several times, Gor’kan clearly felt the array weakening and promptly contacted Vryss’laar.

"Have you been using the array repeatedly?"

Vryss’laar panted before replying, "If I don’t send opponents to distract them, they’ll focus on attacking the array itself, making it even more unstable."

"If you can’t hold on, you need to tell us immediately."

"I’m fine. I’m still can manage it," Vryss’laar responded firmly, though the truth was that he had no choice but to keep going.

Meanwhile, inside the treasure vault, Amalia was entirely absorbed in repairing the Rebirth Ring, paying no attention to the events outside.

She had already refined all the materials and was now focused solely on fusing them together.

Repairing a living space ring was an unprecedented challenge for her.

She knew that even the slightest mistake could irreparably damage the ring, and worse, destroy everything stored within it.

Fortunately, she had found the second half of a artifact refining manual in the treasure vault, which contained a few cryptic notes about repairing living space rings.

Steadying her nerves, Amalia spread her hands, lifting dozens of liquid orbs into the air.

The brightest among them was the liquefied Phoenix Feather, which had condensed into a drop of what appeared to be pure essence blood.

With a resounding boom, a wave of energy reverberated outward.

"Hmm?" Near the treasure vault, a human cultivator suddenly sensed an extremely pure and intense energy emanating from a particular direction.

The cultivator’s face lit up with joy.

"There must be a treasure in that direction!"

Without hesitation, he rushed toward the source.

Encountering obstacles along the way, he unleashed a frenzied barrage of strikes, shaking the very fabric of the spatial layer.

Vryss’laar, realizing what was happening, immediately summoned over a dozen beast puppets.

As soon as they appeared, the beast puppets launched an assault on the human cultivator.

Deoksu Yin, a body integration stage cultivator, heard the commotion and glanced back at the advancing beast puppets.

With a dismissive wave of his hand, the beast puppet at the forefront was sent flying.

However, the ones trailing behind weren’t as unfortunate and used the opening to close in.

Clang!

A puppet’s spear struck a particularly resilient object.

Deoksu Yin sneered.

"Do you think a dozen Diety Transformation stage beast puppets can stop me? You’re clearly underestimating me."

He chuckled darkly.

"Earlier, when I wasn’t attacking the barrier, these beast puppets didn’t appear. The moment I did, they showed up. This confirms it—there’s a treasure in this direction. It might even be the treasure vault itself."

Vryss’laar froze for a moment, utterly shocked.

He hadn’t anticipated this human cultivator to be so formidable, let alone smart enough to deduce the existence of the treasure vault.

Now more than ever, Vryss’laar couldn’t allow him to breach it.

Summoning another dozen beast puppets, he directed them to intercept the intruder.

This only solidified Deoksu Yin’s suspicions. O

vercome with excitement, he unleashed his full power on the beast puppets obstructing his path.

His strikes were swift and merciless.

In the blink of an eye, nearly half of the 30 beast puppets had been destroyed.

The remaining ones were in various states of disrepair, with only a few still functioning.

Deoksu Yin had no intention of wasting any more time fighting these beast puppets.

He was determined to seize the treasure.

Ignoring the beast puppets, he resumed his assault on the barrier, causing the surrounding array to tremble violently.

As the nearby barrier weakened slightly, Deoksu Yin seized the opportunity to break through the array.

The environment around him shifted once again.

"This is bad—he found it," Vryss’laar muttered, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

upporting the array against Deoksu Yin wasn’t the only task he had; his attention was spread thin across multiple fronts.

His momentary lapse had allowed Deoksu Yin to breach the defenses.

A small black door appeared before Deoksu Yin.

Unlike other doors he had encountered, this one seemed palpably real.

When he placed his hand on it, a searing heat emanated from within.

"This is it—without a doubt!" Deoksu Yin’s face twisted in wild, ecstatic glee.

He had found the treasure vault of the Pixiu.

Deoksu Yin began bombarding the small door of the treasure vault frantically, his expression utterly crazed.

Every strike carried over 80 to 90% of his full power, causing the door to shake violently.

The impact even faintly affected the space inside.

The faint vibrations made Amalia frown slightly, but she ignored them, her mind remaining focused on the ring in front of her.

After infusing the pure energy refined from the Phoenix Feather into the Soltice Ring, she felt a hint of rejection.

Fortunately, she managed to suppress it with sheer force.

The Soltice Ring, seemingly crafted from extraordinary materials, resisted only briefly before merging with the energy.

The process was smooth and seamless.

Outside, the tremors continued unabated.

Seeing that the small door was on the verge of collapse, Vryss’laar hurriedly contacted Kenny Lin.

"A human cultivator is attacking the door to the treasure vault!"

In an instant, Kenny Lin abandoned his opponent and teleported directly to the treasure vault.

An overwhelming sense of danger instantly engulfed Deoksu Yin.

Alarmed, he instinctively dodged to the side.

A sharp, deadly sword light grazed past him.

Splat!

Although he avoided a fatal wound, part of his arm was pierced by the sword energy.

Feeling the sword energy invade his meridians, Deoksu Yin panicked.

There was something oddly familiar about this energy!

He quickly attempted to suppress the sword energy with his spiritual power, only to find that it grew stronger the more he fought it.

Although his spiritual power could momentarily hold it back, it was insufficient to neutralize it entirely.

The sword energy carried a destructive aura that showed no signs of fading over time.
