Supreme Emptiness

Chapter 1450: Chapter 1479: Crystal Mine Magic Artifact

Rumble——

The throne space shook once again, and the Soul Shadow Demon Lord staggered, nearly stumbling.

His expression changed, realizing he could delay no longer.

Without bothering to inventory the items inside the Heavenly Thunder Stone, he directly stored it away. Finally, he looked at Jiang Fan, a cold smile on his face.

"It’s time to say goodbye, Wang Chongxiao."

"Being buried with the treasures of the Black Dragon Venerable is the mercy I’m granting you."

"Go now!"

He raised his palm, casually smacking towards Jiang Fan’s Heavenly Spirit Cover.

For someone at the Nascent Soul Realm, a casual strike from the Divinity Transformation Realm was as overwhelming as heavenly might, easily capable of crushing them to dust.

However, just as he made his move.

Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a faint, mocking curve at the corner of Jiang Fan’s mouth.

His heart seemed to skip a beat, a sense of impending doom rising within him.

Before he could react.

The Heavenly Thunder Stone he had taken suddenly erupted with a long-brewing Three-color Divine Rainbow!

It was right in front of him, and the outbreak came so suddenly.

It didn’t give the Soul Shadow Demon Lord any chance to dodge.

Chh!

The sound of flesh and bone being severed rang clearly in the Soul Shadow Demon Lord’s ears.

Only after three full breaths.

Did a faint red bloodline appear in the center of his forehead? To be precise, it was a bloodline that centered on his forehead and traversed his entire body.

The Three-color Divine Rainbow had split him in two from bottom to top.

Drip!

Streams of fresh blood flowed out, cascading to the ground like a stream.

Only then did the Soul Shadow Demon Lord gradually feel the coldness inside his body, followed by the excruciating pain of his flesh being torn apart.

He lowered his head, staring blankly at the bloodline splitting open on his chest, confusion flashing in his eyes.

He seemed still unable to accept the reality of his body’s destruction.

Slowly, he lifted his gaze, the surging blood streaming into his eyes.

In his blurred vision, he saw Jiang Fan move, casually reclaiming the Heavenly Thunder Stone from his hand, taking back the Space Storage Device, and also taking away the treasures on him.

The Soul Shadow Demon Lord’s voice was hoarse, like a broken bellows, "You... have a Magic Artifact to resist the Venerable’s Domain?"

Jiang Fan nodded his chin, "What else?"

The Soul Shadow Demon Lord laughed, a laugh filled with despair.

"I actually got capsized in a ditch."

"No, I was fooled by the same person twice."

Previously, during the memory erasure, Jiang Fan deceived him.

He had believed it.

Now, with the Black Dragon Venerable’s Domain activated, Jiang Fan deceived him again.

He had believed it again.

Twice stumbling at the hands of the same person.

He died without regret!

"How did you know, I was certain to take your Heavenly Thunder Stone? What if I hadn’t taken it, wouldn’t your plan have failed?"

The Soul Shadow Demon Lord asked with a hint of unwillingness.

If the Heavenly Thunder Stone hadn’t been on him but kept at a distance, he, with his strength, could have easily dodged when the three Spirit Swords activated.

Jiang Fan raised his hand, a Purple Thunder into his hand, and decisively slashed at his neck.

To kill, one must decapitate.

That’s his habit.

With a puff, the head flew skyward, splitting into two in midair.

Only then did he speak slowly, "Because you’re greedy enough!"

With so many treasures in the Heavenly Thunder Stone, it made no sense for the Soul Shadow Demon Lord to let it go.

And as long as he kept it with him, Jiang Fan had the power to deliver a fatal strike.

The current Three-color Divine Rainbow comprised three top-grade Spirit Swords possessing Artifact Spirits, once activated, no escape from Heavenly Person Decline.

Clang!

The headless body finally split apart along the bloodline, each half falling to the ground.

A transparent soul frantically scrambled out, desperately trying to flee into the void.

What greeted him was a pitch-black stick with a small, tender sprout at the end.

Bang!

The stick struck the Soul Shadow Demon Lord’s soul, as if stung by thousands of bees, he let out a heart-wrenching scream.

The soul body struggled for a moment, and then its eyes rolled back, fainting on the spot!

Jiang Fan glanced at the stick in his hand, frowning slightly, "Didn’t you say one strike would make him wish to be dead?"

"Why did he faint?"

"Could it be that the Soul Shadow Demon Lord had been too injured previously, causing his soul to weaken?"

He pondered, and then extracted the soul of the Divine Weapon State Venerable from the Ghost Soul Crystal.

"Bear with it and let me test the power of this stick."

The soul of the Divine Weapon State Venerable trembled uncontrollably, though he couldn’t see the situation outside, the screams of the Soul Shadow Demon Lord reached his ears.

To cause a Venerable’s soul such pain, it must be a hellish level of agony.

He quickly raised his little hands in front of him, hastily pleading, "No!"

"I... I still have use, don’t hit me!"

Jiang Fan rolled his eyes at him, "To think you’re a Divinity Transformation Venerable, have some backbone, will you?"

"Grit your teeth and take a hit from me!"

The Divine Weapon State Venerable grumbled inwardly.

Getting hit isn’t you; of course, you’d have backbone.

To escape a beating, he hurriedly looked around and, upon discovering the gigantic purple Crystal Mine at his feet, quickly spoke:

"Wait! Don’t you want the Magic Artifact below?"

Magic Artifact?

Jiang Fan’s stick paused in the air, looking at the giant purple snake-shaped Crystal Mine with a face full of astonishment.

"You say this is a Magic Artifact?"

This Crystal Mine extended for miles.

Is there such a large Magic Artifact?

The Divine Weapon State Venerable, seeing the stick put down, wiped the virtual sweat off his forehead, affirming,

"I’m no lesser than a top ten artifact refining master in Central Earth; how could I mistake a Magic Artifact?"

"This indeed is a human-made Magic Artifact."

"It’s just that, its size is quite large."

"And its material isn’t from our Central Earth."

Jiang Fan, full of curiosity, pointed to the square depression beneath his feet, "Can you see what the eight words at the bottom say?"

The Divine Weapon State Venerable just gave it a glance, and his soul was greatly shaken, hastily averting his gaze.

A look of horror on his face, "What are these words, why can’t I even look at them?"

He studied the depression with a frightful look. After a moment of analysis, he said, "This depression is likely meant to accommodate something."

"To be precise, this entire Crystal Mine is just for placing a heavy treasure."

"Like a pen holder meant to hold a calligraphy brush."

Ah?

Jiang Fan was flabbergasted.

Such a grand Magic Artifact is merely an accessory?

This Crystal Mine itself is a heavy treasure.

What it held, Jiang Fan didn’t even dare to imagine.

After contemplating for a moment, the Divine Weapon State Venerable suddenly realized,

"This depression is meant to hold a kind of seal!"

"The eight blurred words at the bottom are the engravings of that seal, pressed in over countless years."

Jiang Fan was startled.

Just the imprint of the seal’s words was something even the Black Dragon Venerable couldn’t directly gaze upon.

What kind of unrivaled divine object was the seal itself?

Could it be a complete... World Artifact?

After pondering for a moment, he shook his head.

Though this Crystal Mine was a heavy treasure, it couldn’t be taken away.

The Spiritual Liquid he obtained, capable of cleansing any aura, was insufficient to erase the aura of such a vast Crystal Mine.

If he took it, the Black Dragon Venerable would undoubtedly hunt him to the ends of the earth.

For now, he’d better hurry and rescue Liu Li and Ling Shu.

He collected the souls of the Divine Weapon State Venerable and the Soul Shadow Demon Lord, then leaped into the prison.

Gazing upon the two sealed girls encased in black Mysterious Ice, one on the left and one on the right.

He felt both heartache and anger, "You two silly girls, you’re too reckless."

"Without finding out the situation first, you rushed right into the hands of the Black Dragon Venerable!"

He lightly tapped the Mysterious Ice, attempting to break it apart.

But a wave of black ripples reverberated out, forcing Jiang Fan to continuously retreat.

More astonishingly, as the ripples entered his body, he suddenly felt a trance, his consciousness sinking.

He showed signs of entering madness.
