Chapter 1363 - 1360: Sanctuary Collaboration

The toad had an attitude of "my identity is awesome," constantly instilling in Chu Hao just how powerful he was.

Su Yao, standing aside, said, "Three strange stones? They should be from the era of the previous epoch, falling from the sky. However, I know that each of the three strange stones has a significant background. Once, an Emperor of Mankind in the Human World obtained one of them and became the leader of humanity during the dark period."

The toad proudly said, "Did you hear how impressive I am? Be careful when you talk in the future."

Chu Hao almost believed it.

Su Yao continued, "But the fate of the three strange stones was not very good. It's said that the stone obtained by the Human World Emperor was already shattered, forging an unparalleled weapon that repelled Foreign Ghosts."

"As for another stone, it seems to have been used to suppress an unparalleled Underworld."

Upon hearing this, the toad fell silent and dared not claim to be a strange stone, his face turning dark.

Chu Hao almost burst into laughter.

This toad indeed regained some memories, but not many.

Claiming to be one of the three great strange stones was probably just a guess.

Returning to the underground vault, the battle was still ongoing. However, those who stayed here were few in number, even those in the Emperor Realm dared not stay near the treasury.

The battle at that time was terrifying, having alarmed two monsters inside the treasury, the Demon Tree and the Ghost Worm King.

"Boom!"

A mountain was pierced through, shocking everyone.

That was the root of the Demon Tree, ferociously powerful.

Its opponent was a young man in blue robes, holding an Ancient Ding, its body covered in mysterious runes, not an Extreme Yang Soldier but a sacred-level Yang Soldier beyond the heavenly level.

The Yin Yang Saint looked tense and said, "Tree spirit, why are you entangling me?"

The Demon Tree naturally did not respond; its vine swung again, striking the Ancient Ding, producing a buzzing sound.

The Demon Tree was indeed powerful, directly targeting a human Sanctuary.

At the same time, there was another intense tremor beneath the earth veins.

The battle below was no less fierce than above.

Chu Hao and his companions quietly infiltrated the treasury, reaching the vicinity of the third layer, and saw four terrifying figures in a standoff.

There were two Yin Yang Saints, and the other two were Asura Ghost Saints.

This was Chu Hao's first encounter with an Asura Ghost Saint, not much different from humans, with added sharpness and eeriness.

The Blood Burial Ghost Saint was once a handsome young man in life; he still retained his appearance after death but with ashen skin, exuding a chilling aura characteristic of Yin Souls.

Furthermore, there was a peculiar Fierce Ghost among the Asura Ghosts.

Surprisingly, it was a large insect.

Ugly in appearance, covered entirely in Jing Ji, resembling a beetle, with a single black, shiny horn.

Su Yao, knowledgeable as she was, could not name this large insect upon seeing it.

The toad exclaimed, "Black Demon Horned Beetle."

The toad had regained a bit of memory and exclaimed the name of the Black Demon Horned Beetle.

Su Yao was also startled and said, "Is this the Black Demon Horned Beetle? Legends say that in adulthood, it is the nemesis of Divine Deities, with a horn capable of traversing the Yin-Yang Realm."

Upon further inspection, they found that this Black Demon Horned Beetle was dead, even more surprising.

However, Chu Hao noticed something unusual on the Black Demon Horned Beetle and said, "It seems like a ghost is controlling it."

The toad let out a breath of relief and said, "Scared me, turns out it's being controlled by an Asura Ghost Saint."

If it were an alive Black Demon Horned Beetle, even a Sanctuary would have to bypass it. Legend has it that it could oppose a Divine Deity, and it can freely roam through the Yin-Yang Realm.

Though stories say the Divine Tea Tree can also achieve this, it is not as terrifying as the Black Demon Horned Beetle.

Its unique horn can pierce the barrier between the Yin-Yang Realm, bringing Hell to the Human World.

Or perhaps, bringing the Human World to Hell.

This is a completely different nature.

Additionally, there was another insect, the Ghost Worm King.

Its form was peculiar, seen from the front, it appeared as a straight line, and if not careful, it seemed hidden in the air.

From the side, it resembled a long worm, like a sharp blade.

This eerie insect blocked the entrance to the third layer, a massive ten-meter stone gate.

The toad said, "The Ancient Technique is in the third layer. Seems they haven't opened it yet. This Ghost Worm King is no simple creature; it's a monster that can cut through anything."

Both Yin Yang Saints and Ghost Saints wanted to break through here, but the Ghost Worm King blocked them, making it hard to pass without killing it.

If they joined forces, they could break through, but the Yin Yang Saints and Ghost Saints were unwilling to cooperate.

Neither side wanted the other to succeed.

Thus, they had been in a standoff with the Ghost Worm King for a long time.

A long-haired Yin Yang Saint said coldly, "If we do not kill this strange worm, no one will open the treasury on the third layer."

The Blood Burial Ghost Saint, with his translucent body, said with a sinister expression, "Let's cooperate. Although I don't want to, if we keep wasting time and others arrive, neither of us will gain any advantage."

"I agree," said another Yin Yang Saint, a middle-aged man in a Yin Yang robe, holding a measuring rod.

The Ghost Saint parasitized onto the Black Demon Horned Beetle said, "Then let's cooperate and first open the third layer."

The power of a Sanctuary was indeed terrifying; the techniques they used were miraculous, as if they lived as deities in a myth.

The Yin Yang Saint holding a measuring rod quickly formed seals, then vanished into the air.

It wasn't disappearance; he turned smaller than a mosquito, such a technique, if used for killing, would be difficult to escape.

The Blood Burial Ghost Saint also made a move and said, "Ghost Technique, Blood Sea Deep Pupil."

The surrounding space turned blood-red, with blood plasma constantly falling from above, then blood people stood up, resembling Evil Ghosts emerging from the blood sea.

The Ghost Worm King vanished, reaching extreme speed, slicing through each blood person like harvesting crops.

"Boom."

Suddenly, the Ghost Worm King flew backward as the shrunken Yin Yang Saint made a move, even the Ghost Worm King had difficulty detecting him.

As the battle rages on ahead, Chu Hao and others plan at the rear.

The toad said, "Kiddo Chu, do you have any confidence in holding them off?"

Chu Hao's face darkened and said, "Don't joke, the opponents are four Saint Realms, what do you think?"

Indeed.

Moreover, the old corpse sometimes dazes off; if he dazes off at a critical moment, what will happen?

The toad said, "Then we can only pray that their first target upon opening the treasury is not the Ancient Technique."

There's also an Extreme Yang Soldier on the third layer; few know about the Ancient Technique, perhaps even the Sanctuary is unaware.

"Boom."

The ground shook, and the Ghost Saint in the Black Demon Horned Beetle controlled it to ram the sealed door of the third layer, cracking it.

The Ghost Worm King looked over, and its body swayed, surprisingly splitting into three, with two Ghost Worm Kings charging at the Black Demon Horned Beetle.

Then, they saw one leg of the Black Demon Horned Beetle being cut off; it was indeed extremely sharp.
