Chapter 766: Chapter 766: Black Palace, Treasure

"Next, you will undertake an even more crucial task, and this will be an excellent opportunity to earn military merit!"

"Our mission is to coordinate with the main force in the city to form a pincer attack and completely eradicate the armies of the Red Soul Hall!"

"Any enemy who dares to invade our Jade Cauldron Kingdom will face the same fate—death!"

"Now, follow me, let’s go and eliminate them!"

He then issued orders to Zhao Bai and Wang Ye among others.

At this moment, he was preparing to lead this great army on an even more important mission, to wholly eradicate the Red Soul Hall’s forces attacking Cloud Sky City and sever all their strength in one fell swoop.

...

At the same time, in the Eastern Domain of the Mysterious Heaven Continent, while all forces were engaged in battle with the armies of the Red Soul Hall, Lin Chen was hidden in an extremely concealed cave, his body enveloped in flickering Spiritual Light.

Not long ago, Lin Chen had clashed with the army of the Dark Demon Race, killing many Dark Demon soldiers with Thunderfire Arrow Feathers, inciting the fury of the Dark Demon Race’s army.

Under the combined assault of Hei Zha and the Dark Demon Race army, Lin Chen had been gravely injured and had nearly lost his life.

But now, not only had his injuries healed, but his Cultivation had become more stable, making it a blessing in disguise.

With Lin Chen’s Cultivation consolidating at the First Layer of the Heavenly Human Realm, his confidence in this operation within the relics increased significantly.

Even if he encountered a joint attack from Hei Zha and the Dark Demon Race army again, Lin Chen would not be as disheveled as the last time; he was completely confident he could defeat them head-on.

Lin Chen emerged from the cave and flew swiftly in one direction.

Upon leaving the cave, he remained vigilant at first, but after noticing no trace of the Dark Demon Race army, he no longer took such careful precautions.

Lin Chen’s goal within this relic was to destroy the Dark Demon Race’s Heavenly Yin Pearl.

Destroying the Heavenly Yin Pearl not only would strike at the Dark Demon Race but also restore the power of the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron, which was a win-win situation for him.

However, not long ago, millions of miles away from the cave where Lin Chen was healing, one of his Divine Soul Puppets stumbled upon a domain in the Void Continent while scouring for treasures.

The concentration of death qi there far exceeded any other place, even surpassing the stronghold of the Heavenly Yin Pearl.

There was a vast palace constructed entirely of black material, seemingly affected by the death qi.

Lin Chen surmised, with almost certainty, that this place must contain a powerful Treasure, its value potentially comparable to that of the Heavenly Yin Pearl.

Therefore, he immediately used his movement technique, speeding toward the black palace.

Arriving outside the Black Palace, Lin Chen looked out and saw countless Dark Demon Race troops guarding it.

He roughly estimated that the Dark Demon Race army’s numbers were close to ten thousand.

What was more shocking was that the Cultivation of these soldiers was all above the Half-Step Heavenly Human Realm, with nearly one thousand of them being in the First Layer of the Heavenly Human Realm.

An army like this, even a Nirvana Realm powerhouse would choose to evade, because such an army possessed the strength to kill a Nirvana Realm powerhouse.

Of course, this was if the Nirvana Realm powerhouse faced the army head-on.

Normally, a Nirvana Realm powerhouse would not foolishly confront such an army; they would opt for side-attacks, striking unexpectedly to dismantle the enemy.

At this moment, Lin Chen concealed his presence and disguised as one of the Dark Demon Race, thus the army was completely unaware of his existence.

On one hand, Lin Chen’s disguising skills were indeed superb, and on the other hand, the Dark Demon Race army believed Lin Chen to be dead, as this news had been personally announced by a First-Rank Demon General.

Even if the First-Rank Demon General had not said this, the army stationed here would also believe that Lin Chen would not dare to come here; their presence would surely mean courting death.

Moreover, the black palace was shrouded with thick death qi, which was an excellent supplement for the Dark Demon Race but a deadly poison to both the Human Race and the Demon Race.

They believed that if Lin Chen truly came here, he would be unable to traverse through this dense barrier of death qi.

This death qi would instantly corrode the vitality and flesh of the Human and Demon Races, reducing them to white bones.

Nevertheless, the First-Rank Demon General was always a bit worried and therefore dispatched an elite Dark Demon Race army to guard this location.

Lin Chen approached the exterior of the Black Palace, and facing the swirling black death qi, he could have crossed it directly with the powerful force of the Primordial Transformation Art, but he feared that doing so would alarm the Dark Demon Race army, so he eventually used a high-level Qiankun Escape Talisman to instantly move inside the palace.

Upon entering the palace, Lin Chen found that the death qi inside was even more intense, alarming him, and he immediately began searching for the source of this dense death qi.

Before long, with his keen perception, Lin Chen located the source of the dense death qi in the deepest part of the black palace.

In front of him was a Spiritual Pool, whose water was as dark as ink. However, Lin Chen could sense that this pool water was actually liquid death qi, just like how rich Spiritual Energy would form a Spiritual Spring when condensed to a certain extent.

In the center of this pool, there was a hexagonal white crystal stone.

Lin Chen looked at the Hexagonal Crystal Stone and frowned slightly, sensing that this stone was out of the ordinary.

As he contemplated how to obtain this extraordinary Hexagonal Crystal Stone, a glimmer of light flashed across his brow, and he conjured an old and rusty dagger. Sitting atop the dagger was a childlike figure—it was none other than the Dragon Fang Dagger and its Artifact Spirit.

"It’s the Black Rock Spring and a Space Divine Stone, kid, I must say your luck isn’t bad to come across both these Treasures at once."

The cheeks of the Dragon Fang Instrument Spirit turned bright red with excitement. It rode the Dragon Fang Dagger just above the pool, closely inspecting both the pool and the Hexagonal Crystal Stone, then spoke to Lin Chen.

"What exactly are these two Treasures you’re talking about?"

Lin Chen looked at the excited Dragon Fang Instrument Spirit, his curiosity growing. He surveyed the pool and the Hexagonal Crystal Stone before him and then
