Swish!

Liu Guan grasped with his right hand from the ground, and a terrifying suction force emanated from his hand. In an instant, a supreme Spirit Stone was caught in his hand, overflowing with spiritual power, transforming into a gentle white mist that floated in the air.

"Indeed, it's a top-grade Spirit Stone!"

Liu Guan's face lit up with joy. Even at the Great Freedom Palace, top-grade Spirit Stones are rare, and most are controlled by the Elders. For stewards like them, obtaining a top-grade Spirit Stone is as difficult as reaching the sky.

Swish!

At this moment, everyone noticed the light on the ancient wild beasts around them gradually dimming, becoming faint and elusive.

"Could it be that these top-grade Spirit Stones are the energy source of this array?"

Liu Guan was ecstatic inside and speeded up his actions. Bei Yun's movements were also swift, but due to severe losses at Blood Cloud Palace earlier, his speed was much slower than that of the Great Freedom Palace.

Clatter!

Digging out seven top-grade Spirit Stones from the ground continuously, Chu Ming halted and pulled Feng Yuyan's arm. With a sword, he directly slashed at a node in the air.

Splat!

At this moment, the energy source of the array was almost destroyed. Under Chu Ming's sword, the scenery before everyone's eyes instantly transformed, reappearing in the cave dwelling.

"Let's go!"

Liu Guan and Bei Yun did not notice, but he knew clearly in his heart that there were a total of ten top-grade Spirit Stones underground. Seven were in his possession, two held by Liu Guan, and the last one by Bei Yun. At this moment, there was nothing left underground.

After Chu Ming and Feng Yuyan, people from Blood Cloud Palace and Great Freedom Palace persistently dug for another quarter-hour, finding nothing, eventually moving forward with gloomy expressions.

"Brother Liu, Chu Ming has seven top-grade Spirit Stones in his hand. Are you willing to accept this?"

On the way, Bei Yun's expression changed slightly. He lightly exhaled and probed Liu Guan.

"Does Brother Bei have a plan?"

Liu Guan squinted his eyes and asked back. Naturally, he coveted Chu Ming's top-grade Spirit Stones, but Chu Ming's strength was too formidable. Even if everyone from Great Freedom Palace united, he still had no confidence.

"He may be strong, but we are not weak either. Two fists cannot defeat four hands. If we find the right opportunity, we would not hesitate to kill him."

Bei Yun squinted his eyes, exchanged glances with Liu Guan, and proposed.

"Let's see."

Liu Guan pondered slightly and replied. Bei Yun did not speak further but was delighted in his heart, knowing that Liu Guan was tempted.

Splat!

Chu Ming and Feng Yuyan's bodies seemed to pass through a water curtain. When they appeared again, they had arrived at a vast square, five hundred meters long and wide, with walls engraved with countless strange patterns emitting mystical aura.

On both sides, there were five high platforms each, with various peculiar weapons floating above them, including knives, swords, forks, and spears, all totaling ten pieces, exuding a majestic aura, brilliantly colored.

At the very center, there were three even broader high platforms, each floating with three magical treasures: a circular shuttle the size of a face, a blood sword filled with blood light, and a half-human-high shield.

The aura of these three magical treasures was even more intense than that of the ten below. The space faintly distorted above them. From these, Chu Ming sensed the aura he had felt on Bei Yun's ice blue longsword.

"Three half-step Celestial Tier magical treasures?"

Chu Ming's expression changed. He then looked at the ten magical treasures below. Though slightly inferior to the three above, they were still Earth Level top-tier magical treasures.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Just as Chu Ming and Feng Yuyan were stunned, the people from Blood Cloud Palace and Great Freedom Palace also arrived at the hall, their faces dazed.

"So many Earth Level top-tier magical treasures!?"

"And three half-step Celestial Tier magical treasures?!"

"An Earth Level top-tier magical treasure can boost my combat strength by at least thirty percent."

Everyone's eyes lit up with intense heat. They had never seen so many magical treasures before.

Swish! Swish!

Liu Guan and Bei Yun's figures flashed, reaching for the half-step Celestial Tier magical treasures on the platforms. Liu Guan aimed at the half-human-high shield, while Bei Yun aimed at the blood sword filled with blood light.

Chu Ming did not move, but Feng Yuyan could not contain her excitement, looking eager to attempt.

Buzz! Buzz!

The entire void suddenly trembled. As Liu Guan and Bei Yun's hands were about to touch the magical treasures, a red and a blue phantom suddenly emerged from the void, standing off against them.

The red phantom emerging before the half-human-high shield was a fire lion-looking demon beast, its body engulfed in terrifying flames, distorting the void slightly. Its four feet burned with purple flames, and it pounced towards Liu Guan.

"Guardian spirit beast?"

Liu Guan was shocked, looking towards Bei Yun, whose expression was equally grave. The blue phantom in front of Bei Yun quickly expanded, transforming into a giant blue ox, roaring angrily towards the sky, shaking the void, causing heaven and earth to quake.

Not only the two of them, but other martial artists who wanted to seize the magical treasures on the high platforms would surely face a guardian spirit beast emerging from the void, battling with them. Though the guardian spirit beasts of Earth Level top-tier magical treasures were not as strong compared to the fire lion phantom and blue ox phantom at the center, their combat power was still equivalent to the level of Wu Lao and Huang Lao beside Bei Yun.

"Be careful."

Chu Ming instructed Feng Yuyan, his body instantly transforming into a sword light, rushing towards the center of the square. His target was also the blood-filled Slaughter Blood Sword.

Though the Star Trace Sword was impressive, with his increasing strength, it had gradually become incompatible.

"Chu Ming, you dare!!"

Seeing Chu Ming quickly approaching, Bei Yun knew his intention, anger flaring in his eyes. He shouted angrily, repelling the blue ox phantom with a sword, and swung the ice blue longsword sideways, releasing a terrifying ice storm towards Chu Ming.

Splat!

Chu Ming did not slow down, slightly lifting the Star Trace Sword, the Sword Essence minorly throbbing inside. He instantly pinpointed the weak spot of the ice storm, shattering it promptly.

"Urgh..."

Bei Yun's face turned frightened, his body transformed into a phantom, appearing a hundred meters away. Blood mist visibly sprayed from his mouth, looking miserable.

Glaring at Chu Ming, Bei Yun's eyes flickered with hidden killing intent that quickly vanished. He lowered his head and charged towards the ten Earth Level top-tier magical treasures below. Originally, his strength was equivalent to the blue ox phantom, but having been injured by Chu Ming, defeating the guardian spirit beasts of half-step Celestial Tier magical treasures was now impossible.

He had to settle for less.

Not long after Bei Yun retreated, Chu Ming engaged in battle with the blue ox phantom. Terrifying sword light and blue wrath waves clashed in the air, with sword light crisscrossing.
