King of Creation-Chapter 72 - The Fisherman Profits

If nurtured for a sufficient amount of time, bringing an Artifact to fully attuned perfection, as if it were a part of one’s body, one can invoke a synergy of power that unleashes an immensely powerful retaliatory move when used—Artifact Spirit Explosion!

By utilizing one’s own power to trigger the power of the Artifact, causing it to explode instantaneously, it can unleash damage equal to one or two times, or even more, of the wielder’s own power.

The “Great Sun Sword, explode” that Chu Jun just shouted is an Artifact Spirit Explosion.

However, watching the radiance burst forth from the Great Sun Sword, Ye Zhen’s brow furrowed again.

This Artifact Spirit Explosion is a suicidal tactic, could it be that this man intends to perish together with the Silver Line Demon Eagle King?

The man before him, capable of possessing an Artifact, surely holds a not insignificant position within Lishui Sect.

In the sky, in the instant Chu Jun roared, the Great Sun Sword suddenly exploded into a mass, shooting out millions of radiance bursts centered around the sword, resembling an enraged sun.

Seemingly sensing a lethal threat, the Silver Line Demon Eagle King let out an outraged screech, its hundred-meter-wide wings abruptly enveloping its body entirely.

Almost simultaneously, Chu Jun, his right eye now a bloody socket and his body covered in wounds, rapidly flipped out a talisman token which burst forth with a flash of spirit light.

“Universe Blood Escape Talisman, escape!”

With a fierce shout, Chu Jun viciously bit the tip of his tongue, spraying several mouthfuls of his life-bound essence blood onto the exploding light of the talisman token.

Instantly, an enormous amount of blood blue light rose from the talisman, enveloping Chu Jun entirely, transforming into a streak of light that surged away at a speed surpassing lightning.

Perish together?

As if joking!

With such a promising future, how could Chu Jun perish together with a lowly beast!

This Universe Blood Escape Talisman, a life-saving gift from his Sect Leader father, enabled instantaneous travel over thousands of miles and was only to be used in the direst of circumstances.

Because the Universe Blood Escape Talisman consumed one’s life-bound essence blood, a single mouthful of which could cost years of Chu Jun’s rigorous cultivation, not easily replenished by ordinary Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

The blood he had spat out just now, coupled with the grave injuries he already endured, had turned Chu Jun’s face deathly pale.

Before escaping with the Universe Blood Escape Talisman, Chu Jun cast a resentful glance towards the mountain peak where Meng Xiaoyue resided.

That glance made Chu Jun’s face twist with extreme ferocity as he couldn’t help but spurt out another mouthful of blood.

Because he saw Ye Zhen!

Ye Zhen was standing right beside Meng Xiaoyue, looking on with a mocking smile!

“Ah!”

In a frenzy of blood spraying, Chu Jun let out a piercing roar of misery—he had been tricked, played by Ye Zhen.

And not just once.

It turned out that Meng Xiaoyue standing up suddenly was also a lure.

This made Chu Jun, who prided himself on his cunning, furiously bloodthirsty, his mouth uncontrollably spewing blood, mingling with the Universe Blood Escape Talisman into one.

“Ye Zhen, within my lifetime, I must kill you!”

Chu Jun’s roar was akin to a bereaved primate wailing with blood!

The cost was too great!

Today, being deceived by Ye Zhen, it simply couldn’t be worse.

He had nurtured the Mid-grade Treasure, the Great Sun Sword, for seven full years until it resonated fully with his strength, only to have it destroyed by Ye Zhen.

He had also lost an eye to Ye Zhen’s schemes, and his body was covered in scars.

He had been forced by Ye Zhen to use the Universe Blood Escape Talisman to flee for his life, spitting out several mouthfuls of his life-bound essence blood in the process.

Under normal circumstances, it would take years of arduous cultivation to recover.

How tragic!

Amidst angry roars, Chu Jun disappeared into the distance, carried away by the Universe Blood Escape Talisman.

Almost the instant Chu Jun’s Universe Blood Escape Talisman was activated, the explosive force of his Mid-grade Treasure, the Great Sun Sword, also fully erupted.

It was like a rising sun, radiating brilliant light!

Even though the Silver Line Demon Eagle King shielded itself with its wings and erupted a thick layer of blue-black spirit light around its body for protection,

Everything was in vain!

Hiss, hiss, hiss!

As if thousands of swords were unleashed at once, the protective spirit light around the Silver Line Demon Eagle King was instantly weakened to nothingness, as vivid beams of light like arrows plunged into its feathers, directly penetrating into its flesh.

In an instant, the Silver Line Demon Eagle King bore hundreds of bloody holes, emitting cries of helplessness as it plummeted to the ground.

Boom!

The body of the Silver Line Demon Eagle King heavily smashed into the ground, not only creating a large crater but also forming a pool of blood that quickly gathered.

On a nearby hill, Ye Zhen and Meng Xiaoyue stood dumbfounded, watching everything in shock.

The exploded artifact of Chu Jun was definitely not a Low Grade Treasure; at the minimum, it was a Mid-grade Treasure, perhaps even a High Grade Treasure.

Just how high could the status of someone who possessed a Mid-grade or even a High Grade Treasure be in the Lishui Sect?

However, Ye Zhen quickly dismissed these thoughts.

An enemy was an enemy, and if there was a chance, even if it was the Heavenly King himself, Ye Zhen would still try to bring him down and trample over him.

What now preoccupied Ye Zhen was another matter — should he get a bit greedier?

As long as a demon beast reached the Earth Rank, there was a certain probability of forming a Demon Core, and the higher the grade and strength, the more likely it was to produce a Demon Core.

Demon Cores are valuable treasures; when combined with specific pills, they can directly enhance one’s cultivation, or even if sold for silver, they fetch a high price.

In the Qiyun Sect, a Low-grade Earth Level Demon Core could be exchanged for ten thousand Sect Contribution Points, equivalent to a hundred thousand taels of silver.

This Silver Line Demon Eagle King, being a king among Silver Line Demon Eagles and possessing a Mid-grade Earth Level rank, had a very high chance of having a Demon Core.

What truly tempted Ye Zhen was that at this moment, the body of the Silver Line Demon Eagle King kept convulsing; each spasm forced more blood to spray from the hundreds of wounds all over its body, and it was visibly running out of breath, obviously not far from death.

“Hunger kills the coward, greed kills the bold!”

With a stern resolution, Ye Zhen made up his mind.

“Little Yue, wait for me here, I’ll be right back!”

While speaking, Ye Zhen, quick as lightning, dashed towards the dying Silver Line Demon Eagle King.

At that moment, the Silver Line Demon Eagle King seemed to notice Ye Zhen’s approach.

However, with a weak struggle, it only caused more blood to furiously spray out.

The eagle’s head turned aside, falling down tragically, a vivid representation of a mighty tiger being bullied by a dog when down.

Seeing that the Silver Line Demon Eagle King had no strength left to fight back, Ye Zhen was overjoyed.

Profit from others’ strife!

This was truly a case of a fisherman benefiting from the snipe and clam fighting; Ye Zhen felt the urge to burst out laughing.

In a flash, Ye Zhen leaped onto the neck of the Silver Line Demon Eagle King, pulled out a sharp blade, and stabbed into the wound on its neck, finishing it off completely before searching for the Demon Core.

The moment the blade penetrated the brain of the Silver Line Demon Eagle King, its body shuddered, and its eyes, filled with reluctance, lost their luster completely.

Almost simultaneously, the Mirage Dragon Pearl in Ye Zhen’s chest abruptly stirred, signaling another upheaval.
