[Seeking rewards!!!]

The exotic treasure has emerged!

This made those who were originally engaged in a life-and-death battle, and those who were on the sidelines, unable to resist taking action. After all, the allure of the exotic treasure is irresistible, and holding the exotic treasure in your hand is the most important thing. After such a long time, this exotic treasure has always captivated many major forces, and though so much time has passed, it is still preserved and passed down from generation to generation just to give its inheritors a chance to soar into the sky.

The Divine Monkey, Golden Sky Ant, Vermilion Bird, Silver Snake King, Ye Tianchen, the Supreme Elder of the Xinyang family, the Supreme Elder of the Tripod Sect, and the Supreme Elder of the Wang family, all took action at once, reaching for the rectangular purple-black box. However, the rectangular purple-black box continued to float upward, and although the hands reaching out from below echoed with explosive sounds in the air, not a single person could grasp it.

Whoosh!

The Divine Monkey's speed was fast. It was the first to react, rushing towards the rectangular box to claim the exotic treasure at close range. When this monkey dashed towards the rectangular purple-black box, another figure reached an extreme speed, also charging towards the box with great swiftness, having a natural advantage—this was Vermilion Bird. As a divine beast among flying creatures, its speed was genuinely extraordinary!

Bam!

The Vermilion Bird reached the top of the rectangular purple-black box first and clawed at it. Seeing it almost grasping it, everyone was astonished, not expecting Vermilion Bird to be the first to seize this exotic treasure.

"Get lost!"

Puff!

The Divine Monkey was truly invincible, roaring loudly. It transformed into a beam of light, rushing towards the rectangular box, simultaneously wielding the Desolate Sky Halberd at the Vermilion Bird. A Divine Radiance pierced Vermilion Bird's wing, spilling blood. Vermilion Bird, indeed ruthless, immediately flew away from the Divine Radiance, ignoring the massive blood hole in its wing. From its mouth, it spat out a Fire God Pearl, throwing it towards the Divine Monkey, seemingly intending to refine it inside.

Boom!

The monkey was fierce. Facing the Fire God Pearl emitted by Vermilion Bird, it showed no fear, unflinchingly brandishing the Desolate Sky Halberd, colliding head-on with the Fire God Pearl.

Brilliant flames surged down from the sky. Vermilion Bird, covered in blood, soared high. The Divine Monkey, despite severe injuries, remained filled with violent aura, eyes brimming with killing intent. After pushing Vermilion Bird back with the Desolate Sky Halberd, it gripped the rectangular box with its left hand and held the halberd with its right, standing in the center, yelling loudly, "This belongs to me, who dares to trade their life for it!"

Buzz!

Buzz!

Buzz!

At the same time, the Supreme Elder of the Xinyang family, the Supreme Elder of the Tripod Sect, and the Supreme Elder of the Wang family all activated secret treasures to restore their cultivation realms to their original states. At this moment, they collectively attacked the monkey.

"How dare you!" the Divine Monkey shouted, wielding the Desolate Sky Halberd fiercely. However, despite its strength, it was already injured. The three old fellows from the Xinyang family, Tripod Sect, and Wang family were extremely powerful, among the strongest of their respective inheritances. It was exceedingly difficult for the Divine Monkey to face all three in its current condition.

Bam-dong!

The monkey was hit and stumbled, nearly falling to the ground. The rectangular purple-black box in its left hand slipped from its grasp, falling downwards.

The Vermilion Bird, Golden Sky Ant, Silver Snake King, the three Supreme Elders from Xinyang family, Tripod Sect, and Wang family, and the severely injured monkey all desperately reached for the purple-black rectangular box.

Swoosh!

Suddenly, a figure rushed up from below, snatching the rectangular purple-black box in one swift motion. This person was Ye Tianchen. Unlike the others, he didn't rashly make a move to fight for it. In truth, each of them was much stronger than him, and if he really fought, he wouldn't be a match for any of these seven individuals. Even if he could kill one of them, it would be a life-threatening endeavor.

Ye Tianchen successfully seized the rectangular purple-black box and initially planned to quickly escape, at least to break through the Immortal Light Array. Once through, with his Divine Movement Skill speed, few could catch up to him. However, before he could successfully escape, he was already surrounded by the seven masters, all glaring at him intently.

"Little brat, hand over the exotic treasure and I'll spare your life!" the Supreme Elder of the Xinyang family said harshly.

"Give me the box in your hand, or don't blame me for taking action!" the Supreme Elder of the Tripod Sect said coldly.

"You still have a chance to live!" the Supreme Elder of the Wang family said without a trace of humanity.

Boom!

The great battle was about to erupt. These seven powerful individuals wouldn't let Ye Tianchen escape with the rectangular purple-black box. That was impossible. And Ye Tianchen wasn't someone who would easily give up. The artifact was incredibly alluring and might hold the solution to his internal clash of forces. Even Qin Kongdao, a powerful elder, had hinted as much. There was no way Tianchen would let go of this chance. At this moment, he fought with all his might against these seven adversaries.

"This... Brother Ye is in trouble. Let's go help him!" Pangu Yun said.

"Yes!" Huo Xianer nodded anxiously.

"I think going there would be in vain. He must have a plan. Let's wait and see..." Jing Wuhuan, with eyes that seemed to see through many things, suggested.

"Let's wait a bit longer. This kid might indeed have another idea. Otherwise, to stay alive, he could just throw that box away. It's a simple matter..." Little Zhu Yan said in confusion.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The battle was incredibly fierce. Ye Tianchen was covered in blood. No matter how strong he was, he couldn't simultaneously face seven formidable opponents. Luckily, these guys didn't trust each other and occasionally attacked those around them. If they all attacked Tianchen at once, he would have been in real trouble and might have lost his life already, rather than only being heavily injured!

Bang!

Ye Tianchen was blown away, covered in blood, collapsing to the ground, blood spurting from his mouth. He gritted his teeth, watching the seven powerful adversaries approaching, knowing that keeping the prized artifact was nearly impossible. Yet, he felt a tinge of unwillingness.

"A mere human cultivator, just an ant, dares to snatch the artifact and seek death!" the Divine Monkey said arrogantly, holding the Desolate Sky Halberd while looking at Ye Tianchen.

"Not even worthy of an ant. You have a grudge with my Golden Sky Ant clan. After you die, I will devour your body," the Golden Sky Ant said fiercely.

"I would love to burn you to ashes with fire," the Vermilion Bird said, flames flickering in its mouth.

"The Silver Snake clan will not spare you either. Both body and spirit extinguished, flayed and drawn, it's unavoidable!" the Silver Snake King said viciously.

The Supreme Elders of the Xinyang family, Diancang Sect, and Wang family knew their legacies had grudges with Ye Tianchen, an undying hatred. But now, seeing Ye Tianchen holding the rectangular purple-black box, possessing an incredible artifact, they all wanted to tempt Ye Tianchen into handing over the box to them.

"Hand it over, and maybe I can preserve your corpse," the Supreme Elder of the Xinyang family said coldly.

"With your cultivation realm and actual combat prowess, you cannot take away this box in front of us. Surviving is more practical. Hand it to me, and I'll give you a quick death!" the Supreme Elder of Diancang Sect said ruthlessly.

"If you hand this rectangular box to me, I can spare your life. How about it?" the Supreme Elder of the Wang family tempted Ye Tianchen.

Ye Tianchen looked at the three Supreme Elders of the Xinyang family, Diancang Sect, and Wang family, and sneered as he asked, "Do you think, having taken this box, you can leave alive? I'm afraid these four monsters will slaughter everyone for thousands of miles, and no one will escape. And as members of the Human Clan, why can't we fight these monsters together? This way, our chances of escaping are much higher!"

"Hmph, there's no need to say more, hand over the box!"

"What's there to say, it's too late already. If you don't hand it over, we'll kill you!"

"Although I don't want to join these monsters to kill you, your inability to see the situation leaves no other choice!"

Hearing the answers from these three old things, Ye Tianchen shook his head, sighed, and then burst into laughter, saying, "You all desire the box in my hand, but unfortunately, I won't give it to you. Even if I can't have it, it's destined to be ownerless. You don't deserve it!"

As he spoke, Ye Tianchen raised his hand to throw away the purple-black rectangular box, but as soon as he lifted his hand, the Supreme Elder of the Xinyang family swiftly struck at Ye Tianchen. Already severely injured and facing the encirclement of seven powerful experts, Ye Tianchen could only subconsciously lift the rectangular box to shield himself.

"Ah!"

A scream echoed. When Ye Tianchen looked clearly, he found the rectangular box in his hand was open, his left hand holding the purple-black rectangular box, and his right hand grasping something vine-like, of unknown nature. Yet, the Supreme Elder of the Xinyang family, who had attacked him, was dead, looking like a corpse, eyes vacant, soul completely gone... (To be continued.
