Chapter 581: Chapter 581 Dividing the Spoils

"Senior Sister Yao, Young Master Lin Chen won’t be in danger, will he?"

The disciples of the Divine Flame Sect looked at the disturbance in the lake, as well as the scene of Zhou Yuan and Qi Jianshi’s panicked escape, and couldn’t help but feel worried.

It seemed that only Zhou Yuan and Qi Jianshi had managed to escape from among those of the Demon Race and Bodhi Hall, which might mean that the others had already encountered mishaps.

At the moment, a powerful and eerie aura was surging toward the surface of the lake, instilling fear in everyone’s hearts.

Even separated by the Explosive Dragon Killing Formation, they could feel the strangeness and strength of that aura.

Under the assault of the black aura, the Explosive Dragon Killing Formation actually began to falter, a formation that Zhou Yuan and the others had been unable to break before.

Yao Qinghe’s face was grim, her heart wavering with indecision. She turned to look at Yu Weilian, deciding to leave the decision of whether to stay or leave up to her.

"Young Master Lin Chen always refrains from taking actions he isn’t confident about, so if he chose to enter the lake, he must have a way to ensure his own safety. We just need to continue waiting; he will surely return safely."

Yu Weilian calmly said to Yao Qinghe and the disciples of the Divine Flame Sect.

"Moreover, this ancient relic is filled with danger at every turn, and with our strength, even if we want to find the exit, we may encounter terrifying entities on the way that are too much for us to handle. Without Young Master Lin Chen’s protection, we would probably find it difficult to move forward in this relic."

Despite her calming words, Yu Weilian’s heart was also full of doubts; the aura just now was too strong, and she couldn’t help but worry about Lin Chen.

...

At the bottom of the lake, a black pearl was tightly enveloped by the reddish-yellow flames emitted by Lin Chen, constantly struggling to escape, but the power of the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron prevented its success.

Filled with fear, the black pearl understood that the force emanating from Lin Chen’s body was supremely suppressing it.

It deeply regretted provoking Lin Chen. After countless years, it had absorbed the resentment of these skeleton frames and had formed its own consciousness, becoming a unique Heavenly Yin Pearl.

However, it had now encountered an unprecedented disaster.

Suddenly, the reddish-yellow flames on Lin Chen’s body fiercely contracted, absorbing the Heavenly Yin Pearl directly into his brow, and into the space within the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron.

"I never expected such a terrifying black pearl to be so easily absorbed by the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron."

Lin Chen was shocked, his curiosity about the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron’s power and mystery growing even further.

However, he also wondered how such a powerful object as the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron had been so severely damaged in the past?

Swoosh, swoosh—

As soon as the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron absorbed the Heavenly Yin Pearl into its space, the Artifact Spirit, riding on the Dragon Fang Dagger, flew up from the lake and appeared before Lin Chen.

"That’s great, the Heavenly Yin Pearl has been subdued by it. With so many treasures here, I’m going to make a killing this time."

The youthful child approached Lin Chen, his eyes shining brightly as he stared at the treasures at the bottom of the lake.

Hearing this, Lin Chen frowned slightly. Regardless of where this little guy had gone during this time, his sudden appearance with the intent to share Lin Chen’s treasures was not a good habit. The battle at the bottom of the lake had been easy to win, but the Dragon Fang Dagger had not exerted any effort. Lin Chen was not willing to share these magical treasures without compensation.

"These treasures are all mine, you don’t get a share. Don’t even think about it."

Lin Chen said to the youthful child, visibly annoyed.

"But... but there are so many magical treasures, as many as a hundred thousand. You can’t use them all, so why not spare some for me to restore some strength? Then, I could cover for you later," the youthful child said to Lin Chen, making faces.

With the protection of the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron, Dragon Fang naturally did not dare to openly snatch Lin Chen’s magical treasures.

Previously, it could only fight with Lin Chen over some Magical Treasure Fragments, since they were indeed of little use to Lin Chen.

But now things were different. These were intact treasures; although they had some flaws, a little refining could restore their power.

In fact, Dragon Fang had been following Lin Chen all along, just using a concealment method.

It had long noticed the anomalies of this lake but with its current strength, it was unable to confront the Heavenly Yin Pearl.

If it forced a fight with the Heavenly Yin Pearl and won, the victory would come at too high a cost, possibly depleting the strength it had worked hard to restore.

Hence, it had been waiting for the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron to take action, and then to come out and claim its share of the spoils.

"No, not a chance. You haven’t exerted a sliver of effort," Lin Chen flatly refused.

"Half, just give me half and if you run into trouble in the future, I can step in for you once," the youthful child proposed.

Lin Chen still shook his head in refusal.

"Thirty percent, how about that? Thirty thousand magical treasures, in exchange for my intervention once. You would be making a huge profit," the youthful child continued to haggle.

Eventually, the two of them agreed to give twenty percent of the treasures to the Dragon Fang Dagger in exchange for an opportunity for it to intervene once in the future.

Lin Chen was well aware of the strength of the Dragon Fang Dagger. From the time the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron had first activated it, Lin Chen had seen its potential.

So, exchanging twenty percent of the treasures for one intervention from the Dragon Fang Dagger was a good deal. However, twenty percent translated to a full twenty thousand treasures, making Lin Chen somewhat reluctant.

Just then, the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron also conveyed its thoughts, requesting thirty percent of Lin Chen’s treasures, causing Lin Chen considerable pain.

Without the intervention of the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron, the Heavenly Yin Pearl might not have been subdued, and he wouldn’t have been able to obtain the current treasures and those skeletons; considering these points, even if Lin Chen wanted to disagree, it seemed impossible.

So, after Lin Chen agreed, the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron trembled slightly in his Soul Sea, releasing a powerful suction force and absorbing all the skeleton frames and treasures into the space within the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron.

The youthful child on the Dragon Fang Dagger saw this scene and immediately looked anxious, fearing that the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron might take all the treasures. He quickly executed his own techniques and began absorbing the treasures of the area.

"I never expected that the Dragon Fang Dagger would also have the ability to store space."

Lin Chen watched the youthful child gather one treasure after another into his space, feeling quite astonished.
