Chapter 585 - 332: Disguised Seizure of the Lamp! Battle at the Divine Palace! (Part 2)

"This item is the Wolf Map Clan’s treasure, the Wolf Pattern Crown, also a storage treasure. The Wolf Race’s precious items, even the old me has put a lot inside."

Qi Lanshui was extremely respectful, showing no hint of greed.

Having witnessed the power of the two Giant Spirit Guards, she undoubtedly had no greed.

"Wolf Pattern Crown..."

Chu Ming flipped his hand and took out the real Wolf Pattern Crown.

The two crowns merged together, instantly forming one, and the true Wolf Pattern Crown regained its luster.

Splitting his heart spirit to inspect, the space was three zhang large, indeed holding many treasures.

He took out the other seven or eight Wolf Patterned Fake Crowns to let the real Wolf Pattern Crown devour them.

Once the devouring was complete, what Chu Ming held was no longer the decayed and ruined crown of the past, but a rather majestic and mysteriously emanating crown.

The Qi Blood Sensing, burning qi blood and wearing this crown, his strength should be able to increase two to three times more.

According to the treasure classification, the Wolf Pattern Crown could be considered a second-class profane treasure, barely reaching first-class.

To Chu Ming today, profane treasures were almost beneath his notice.

But the Wolf Pattern Crown was special, able to enhance the effect of burning qi blood. Even though he now had the strength of the National Guardian Realm, this crown could still provide amplification.

"Burning qi blood can boost strength by two times. Plus with this restored crown, it should reach three times..."

"Late Bone Marrow Cleansing Realm...burning qi blood...Wolf Pattern Crown..."

Chu Ming pondered, wondering if he could match the National Guardian Realm in martial arts.

He had already begun to reshape his Eight Extraordinary Meridians and estimated that it wouldn’t be long before the meridians and orifices were completely reshaped, the physical body fully reborn, then he should be able to charge into the Sea of Qi Realm.

While thinking this, he checked the treasures within the crown with his heart spirit.

Suddenly.

"Hmm?"

A flash of blood light appeared, and a round blood bead emerged in Chu Ming’s palm.

"This item..."

The blood bead felt strange. On the surface, it seemed just like an inferior profane treasure, yet he couldn’t discern its purpose.

"Clan Leader, this item was something that the Wolf Map Clan’s Wolf Map kept close, and upon his death, he swallowed this bead to fend off a blow from the Giant Spirit Guard."

"Oh?"

A flash appeared in Chu Ming’s eyes.

He knew that the Wolf Map of the Wolf Race had the early strength of the Bone Marrow Cleansing Realm, while the Giant Spirit Guard could easily kill someone in the late Bone Marrow Cleansing Realm with a single slap.

Swallowing this bead to withstand a late Bone Marrow Cleansing Realm blow?

He looked at the bead with some surprise.

Just that, is it?

If it could only withstand a blow from the Giant Spirit Guard, it barely counted as a third-class profane treasure.

However, the peculiar feeling the blood bead gave him was more than just a third-class profane treasure level.

"Just by using qi blood sensing with the blood bead, there was an irresistible allure in the dark, which no third-class profane treasure could accomplish."

The reason why he found the blood bead peculiar was because its initial impression was like having a magical allure drawing him in.

With Chu Ming’s current mindset, not to mention a blood bead, even if a spirit treasure was laid before him, it wouldn’t trigger his innermost greed.

But just now, the blood bead sparked a fleeting greed in him, a desire to claim the blood bead even into his body.

Yet, within the Book and Painting Realm, the allure of the blood bead couldn’t persist long, and his gaze regained clarity in an instant.

Holding the blood bead, he explored it a bit longer and, finding nothing more, put it back into the storage space.

Actually, this blood bead was the one that had emerged previously in Chi’an County, on the White River Basin’s riverbed.

After being consumed by the black fish, it swam into Pingzhong County and was noticed and captured by the Wolf Race, finally landing in the hands of the Wolf Map.

It seemed the blood bead’s emergence was accidental.

In reality, it wasn’t. At the same time as the blood bead emerged.

Within the borders of the Snow Tiger Kingdom to the north of the Great Qin Dynasty, a snow-white giant bear lay sleeping in its den.

This was just an ordinary snow bear whose size, though large, couldn’t be considered an exotic beast.

But at that moment, a frosty round bead spontaneously formed within its body, appearing from nowhere.

Roar—

A roar erupted, and the snow bear’s aura surged, instantly transforming into an exotic beast, and advancing from a first-tier exotic beast to tier two, then tier two to tier three...

At the same time.

In the Jing Yue Kingdom south of the Great Qin Dynasty.

A plant birthed a wood-colored round bead inside, the plant seemed to gain life.

In the Nine Hordes Kingdom west of the Great Qin Dynasty, someone found a brown round bead among the sand and stones.

In the Yiyang Kingdom east of the Great Qin Dynasty, an adventuring party of martial brotherhood turned on each other over a red round bead.

Scenes of difference, similar round beads, appeared silently across the Ancient Profound Western Continent in each nation...

...

East of the Ancient Profound Western Continent, in the Celestial Veil Kingdom, within a massive palace.

"The calamity has begun."

"Did the edict receive any response?"

"A few, not many."

"Hmm, then don’t bother with it. We’ve given the warning; if they still care about our Celestial Veil Alliance, there’s still a sliver of hope. If they don’t, that’s their decision."

"Understood."

"..."

...

The Great Qin Dynasty, Chi’an County, at the border of Pingzhong County and Chi’an County, atop a mountain peak.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Two figures descended shoulder to shoulder, a man and a woman, clad in black and white robes.

"Hasn’t Junior Brother Ming Feng arrived yet?" The man in black and white robes spread his primordial consciousness to search.

"No sign of him," the woman also searched around.

"Send a message."

"Okay."

These two were the second senior brother and third senior sister sent by Mo Chen of the Black and White Divine Palace’s outer palace elder to assist Ming Feng.

The stern-faced man was the second senior brother, Ming Si, and the one with braided hair and sharp eyes was the third senior sister, Ming Lu.

The mountain peak was the agreed meeting place with ’Ming Feng’.

"Why haven’t they arrived yet?"
