Chapter 568: Supreme… Spiritual Treasure?!

Translator: Noodletown Translated  Editor: Noodletown Translated

Dang… Sounding like a gong, the golden shield forced away the sword energies that were released by Hao Ren.

The white sword energies scattering in the air lit up the sports field as if it were daytime. If not for the array formation, the ordinary students in the dorm buildings would be alerted.

Hao Ren tightened his fists, and the 160 sword energies turned from white to red.

Not as dazzling as the white sword energies, the red ones looked shifty in the darkness. Red represented the fire elements, and these sword energies could suppress metal elements according to laws of nature.

The young cultivators were so astounded that they became speechless when they saw the sword energies turning red instantly.

Hua… Another 160 sword energies flew up into the high sky before twirling back down. They were green wood-elemental sword energies!

Two Dragons Array Formation! Wood creates fire, and fire suppresses metal!

Two long sword arrays empowered each other while they struck toward Xu Ke!

“Awesome!” Pleased instead of startled, Xu Ke tossed out the golden shield.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

The golden round shield turned to four, then to eight, sixteen… Instantly, it turned into 64 shields which formed a wall!

It looked radiating and flashy!

“This dharma treasure is awesome…” Standing on the edge of the field, Lu Qi couldn’t help exclaiming.

Due to the scarcity of dharma treasure masters among the dragon cultivators, the battles between dragon cultivators rarely involved dharma treasures.

However, Xu Ke’s dharma treasure was obviously powerful, more versatile than the chessboard dharma treasure Lu Qi Had borrowed from the senior elder of Wude Forrest during the general exams of the Dragon God Shrine.

The other cultivators were even more dazed. Most of them didn’t have a good dharma treasure, so they were envious when they saw the shield-shaped dharma treasure that could do such a thing.

Pu! Pu… Hao Ren’s sword energies shot onto the shield like hot water against ice blocks, but they were turned into white steam before vanishing completely as muffled noises sounded.

“My master gave me this dharma treasure. Senior, if you like it, I’ll give it to you as a gift,” Xu Ke called out to Hao Ren.

Hao Ren knew that his 320 sword energies had all been absorbed by the golden shield which was obviously not an ordinary metal-elemental dharma treasure.

The 320 sword energies were not a small amount of nature essence, and Hao Ren would have panicked if it had been before. However, Hao Ren was testing the strength of Xu Ke’s dharma treasure, and he only lost one round instead of being defeated.

Hua! Hua! The 640 sword energies suddenly rose beside Hao Ren!

The young cultivators around the field were dumbfounded with disbelief. It was hard enough for one person to control 320 sword energies, but now Hao Ren had summoned 640 sword energies!

With a casual wave of his right hand, the 640 colorful sword energies flew across the sky.

Several sword energies passed the edge of the field, and the chilling aura brought cold sweat to some young cultivators when the sword energies swooshed past them.

These sword energies were not only energies but swords with chilling presence!

“Senior, this is awesome!” Xu Ke looked at the sword energies in pleasant surprise and praised again.

He looked delighted as if he were appreciating an awesome technique, seeming oblivious to the fact that sword energies surrounded him.

With a light snort, Hao Ren accelerated his sword energies which shot toward Xu Ke randomly.

It looked as if a big group of wasps was dashing toward Xu Ke.

“Senior, you sure are merciless!” Xu Ke yelled, and the 64 metal shields suddenly split into countless small round shields.

Each shield was as small as a palm, but they were swift and quick. They automatically blocked Hao Ren’s sword energies in a wave of golden light.

The young cultivators standing on the edge of the field were dazzled.

They had watched battles between other dragon cultivators, but no one had fought like this! While they watched the practice battle between Hao Ren and Xu Ke, they knew they had been a frog sitting in a well! (A Chinese idiom of saying that a person has a limited perspective and can’t see much around him or her)

Lu Qi who was concentrated on the battle suddenly saw a white figure floating to his side.

He turned and saw the newcomer before greeting immediately, “Ms. Su!”

Su Han nodded slightly, keeping her eyes on the field.

Hao Ren’s cultivation strength was greater than it was in the Dragon God Shrine’s general exams, but Xu Ke held an ultimate dharma treasure—supreme spiritual treasure.

The so-called supreme spiritual treasures were dharma treasures with spiritual properties and had minds of their own; they could fight without the control of their owners.

Su Han’s White Jade Sword now possessed some spiritual properties after being refined with the addition valuable materials and a trace of Thunder Roc’s soul, but it was still no match for a supreme spiritual treasure.

Although the number of supreme spiritual treasures left on First Heaven was not clear, it was definitely not a big number. These supreme spiritual treasures were personal treasures of ancient grand cultivators, and they were used in the same way as the present natal dharma treasures.

Different from the present cultivators, the grand cultivators in the past didn’t put the dharma treasures into their bodies. Instead, they nurtured their dharma treasures by releasing their nature essence. After more than thousands of years of nurturing by the powerful ancient cultivators, these dharma treasures now possessed abundant spiritual properties.

Ding! Ding… The 640 sword energies that Hao Ren released with his full force all shot onto the small golden shields.

Even though the sword energies were unpredictable and shifty, the golden shields seemed to know the directions of Hao Ren’s sword energies and could block them unerringly.

“This supreme spiritual treasure is indeed a treasure with great spiritual properties,” Su Han whispered while she watched the battle on the field.

In fact, the ancient treasures in the Nine Dragon Palace were all supreme spiritual treasures and thus were very powerful. However, they had lost their spiritual properties long ago after being locked in the Nine Dragon Palace for thousands of years without proper nurturing.

Otherwise, Zhao Hongyu’s River-Mountain Qian-Kun Painting could even capture mountains and oceans inside instead of being only a flight dharma treasure.

“How can Hao Ren, a Gen-level cultivator, defeat such a supreme spiritual treasure?” Su Han thought and frowned slightly, looking like a beautiful fairy as the golden light shined on her.

Lu Qi glanced at Su Han by his side, still surprised that she would come here in person. It seemed that the relationship between Su Han and Hao Ren was quite unusual.

“Attack!”

Hao Ren gestured, and the 640 sword energies formed three One-line Snake Array Formation and attacked Xu Ke from three directions.

Entangling with each other, the sword energies shot toward Xu Ke like three drilling spears. The surrounding young cultivators almost lost their balance when the nature essence in the area stirred up like gales.

Golden light suddenly flashed around Xu Ke, and the golden shield rose five meters above the ground with Xu Ke on it.

Bang!

Three long spears exploded and created a big crater with a diameter of about thirty meters while the violent nature essence fluctuations almost cracked the array formation.

The young cultivators standing on the edge stumbled back three to four steps, and the low-leveled cultivators were pushed to the ground by the heat wave.

“Senior, you damaged the field,” Xu Ke said as he stood on the golden shield

Hao Ren gritted his teeth while the sword energies scattered outward with crackling sounds.

He only planned to test Xu Ke’s strength, but Xu Ke easily defended himself with one dharma treasure. It surprised Hao Ren and angered him a little.

Three Talents Heaven Earth Array Formation!

The sword energies which had created a big crater in the field wove into themselves under Xu Ke’s feet.

“Senior, you don’t want to take the bet with me because you are afraid of losing, right?” Sparing no glance at the sword energies under his feet, Xu Ke said to Hao Ren.

Hao Ren knew his opponent was trying to provoke him. After all, this golden shield was way more powerful than Zeng Yitao’s spear.

“Hao Ren, that’s a supreme spiritual treasure. You can’t defeat it,” Su Han warned from the sideline of the field.

Hao Ren turned his head slightly and found Su Han standing on the edge of the field.

Supreme spiritual treasure!

The young cultivators all looked stunned since supreme spiritual treasures were the most sacred dharma treasures, and each of them had been refined for thousands of years and was passed down by ancient grand cultivators!

“Hehe, Ms. Su, you’ve come as well.” Xu Ke turned to greet Su Han with a smile on his face.

Seeing Su Han ignored him, Xu Ke turned back to Hao Ren and said, “Right, my dharma treasure is a supreme spiritual treasure. I’ll show you its power, Senior!”

The round golden shield beneath Xu Ke’s feet suddenly split into hundreds of golden shields, spreading in the air above the sports field.

Hao Ren activated the Three Talents Heaven Earth Array Formation almost simultaneously.

The sword array could unleash the force of the sword energies to the fullest. When the sword array was suddenly activated, an abundance of nature essence was immediately launched.

“Release!” Xu Ke yelled while hovering in the sky

Instantly, the small golden shields surrounding Xu Ke shot out in all directions. Then, they almost devoured Hao Ren’s 640 sword energies in an instant.

Then, the golden shields that were as big as coins shot toward Hao Ren one after another!

Hao Ren who had been attacking a moment ago was now sieged by Xu Ke’s hundreds of golden shields!

“Up…”

Hao Ren released a hundun sword energy to form a shield.

Crackling… The golden shields landed on Hao Ren’s hundun sword energy like fierce hail, and they paused a little before piercing the sword energy!

“Still no match…” Su Han shook her head slightly while watching Hao Ren and Xu Ke closely. If Xu Ke tried to launch a killing attack, she would shoot out the White Jade Sword regardless of the so-called rules!

Hao Ren experienced the power of the supreme spiritual treasure for the first time, and his chest hurt from the attack.

“Senior, I’ll use all my power,” Xu Ke said while the dense coin-shaped golden shields suddenly rose in the air.

“It will still count as a win if I beat you with a dharma treasure, right?” Hao Ren asked him.

“Of course!” Xu Ke answered.

“Ok. I’ll make the bet with you. Are you sure you still want to accept it?” Hao Ren said lightly while touching the bleeding wound on his shoulder.

“Ok! If you win, you’ll get my dharma treasure; if I win, I’ll get your technique!” Xu Ke nodded enthusiastically.

Under everyone’s astonished gaze, Hao Ren grinned and slowly took out Lady Zhen’s purple gold hairpin.
