Chapter 64: The Demonic Clan's Supreme Treasure

**Chapter 64: Plotting for the Demon Race's Ultimate Treasure**

Ye Fan turned and walked away, cursing in a voice barely audible: "You fat Duan, I curse you to have a son with no anus!"

"I am a monk; I won't marry or have children."

"You can hear that?" Ye Fan was truly a little scared of him now. "Daoist Duan, you should leave quickly. You've already taken three spiritual treasures from me; aren't you satisfied yet?"

"The young friend and I still have a lingering connection..." the fat Daoist replied with a smile.

"You charlatan Duan, you're going too far!" Ye Fan's face darkened, and he strode towards the bottom of the stone mountain. Unable to contend with the unscrupulous Daoist, he could only leave.

"Connections form and dissolve. It seems my connection with the young friend ends today, but it's hard to say about the future; perhaps we might meet again." The fat Daoist chuckled, not leaving, and said, "Now, I feel a connection with this stone wall and have decided to stay and observe it."

Ye Fan was surprised. He hadn't expected this unscrupulous fat man to be so perceptive, noticing the unusual nature of the stone wall. He immediately stopped and walked no further.

"Since you've stayed, young friend, I promise you'll gain something. However, it's best to avoid overly dazzling spiritual treasures. I genuinely mean well; otherwise, with your cultivation, you wouldn't be able to protect sentient weapons. If others covet them, you'll be in great trouble. Not everyone is as benevolent as I am; many will kill while seizing sentient weapons, and at that point, you might not even keep your life."

"Boom!" At that very moment, five powerful figures in the distant sky unleashed an earth-shattering strike. Their vast and unfathomable divine power descended like the Milky Way pouring from the heavens, and waves of oceanic energy swept across the entire firmament.

In that instant, all the cultivators trembled. Many even found it difficult to control their divine rainbows and fell directly from the high heavens. An indescribable palpitation made it impossible to breathe; the immense pressure was utterly irresistible, causing the souls of many cultivators to involuntarily tremble.

Such was the terrifying might of the five great figures. When their divine power was unleashed, it swept across the heavens and the earth, filling all living beings with terror and dread.

"Rumble!" The five supreme experts' final strike finally shattered the Demon Emperor's tomb, unleashing a monstrous surge of demonic energy that raged in all directions.

The magnificent ancient hall rumbled and completely crumbled.

Simultaneously, endless rays of light shot out in all directions, as all the sentient weapons buried within the ancient tomb surged forth. Several beams among them were exceptionally dazzling, extraordinarily bright and eye-catching, illuminating the sky with blinding intensity, like a series of small suns. It was clear without a doubt that these were the most powerful spiritual treasures.

The five supreme experts each unleashed their great divine abilities, extending large hands. Almost every one of them seized an item, all displaying satisfied smiles. However, a few sentient weapons, as brilliant as small suns, still escaped their grasp, soaring into the sky and fleeing.

However, the several peak experts did not pursue. Instead, they remained stationary, scanning the surroundings with their powerful divine senses, as if searching for something, allowing the various sentient weapons to transform into rays of light and escape.

Vast and unfathomable waves of energy swept towards the distant sky. All cultivators went mad, disregarding the danger, chasing and snatching the sentient weapons amidst the boundless radiance.

The Demon Emperor's tomb completely crumbled, with even its debris scattering in all directions. Only a dazzling mass of energy waves remained at the scene.

"Why is the ultimate treasure of the Eastern Wilderness human race nowhere to be seen?"

"The Demon Emperor's weapon is said to be not much inferior to our Eastern Wilderness human race's ultimate treasure. Why hasn't it appeared either?"

The five supreme experts all showed expressions of doubt, continuously sweeping their surroundings with powerful divine senses.

"Boom!" Just then, from the dazzling radiance that had not yet dispersed, an incredibly brilliant beam of light suddenly burst forth, overshadowing the sun, moon, and stars.

It was too dazzling, as if the sun itself had exploded!

Even the five transcendent great figures found it difficult to keep their eyes open, their vision stinging from the intensity. However, they reacted swiftly, each extending a large hand without delay.

"Whoosh!" The divine light pierced through the air with unparalleled power, as if a cosmic starscape was in turmoil. Its terrifying, unfathomable fluctuations repelled all five masters and instantly dulled the weapons in their hands!

The brilliant divine light streaked across the sky, causing extremely terrifying energy fluctuations that made many surrounding cultivators fall from high altitudes. It emanated unparalleled demonic power, as if an entire world was burning, and nothing could obstruct it.

"It's the weapon wielded by the Demon Emperor during his lifetime, comparable to the Eastern Wilderness human race's ultimate treasure!"

The five great experts realized this, and three of them immediately gave chase. The other two remained, intending to search for the legendary ultimate treasure of the Eastern Wilderness human race.

In the distance, Ye Fan was dumbfounded, because he noticed the brilliant beam of light was rushing towards the stone mountain.

The fat Daoist beside him rubbed his hands and grinned incessantly, saying, "This Daoist truly has good fortune! This Demon Emperor's weapon is no worse than the Eastern Wilderness human race's ultimate treasure. If I were to obtain it..."

"Can you even catch it?" Ye Fan asked anxiously. Seeing the demon race's ultimate treasure about to reach them, if the fat Daoist couldn't catch it, they would surely be crushed to dust. That would be too tragic.

"That's true," the Daoist admitted. "This Daoist doesn't seem to have that much good fortune yet. Even if I could catch it, I'd be killed by the three great figures behind me. Let's go!" With that, he pulled Ye Fan, moving faster than a rabbit, and shot to another mountain.

The Demon Emperor's weapon shot out tens of millions of divine rays, its brilliance dazzling. Its form was indiscernible, and its blazing light prevented anyone from opening their eyes, as if billions of stars were burning simultaneously. The entire world trembled violently as it "boomed" into the stone mountain.

"It's over..." The fat Daoist repeatedly rubbed his hands, saying, "This is bad. There must have been an exotic treasure under the stone mountain, but it couldn't withstand the impact of the demon race's ultimate treasure. It's probably turned to ashes. What a pity."

The area was completely engulfed by light, turning into an ocean of energy that surged and swelled, sweeping away all surrounding cultivators. Some who were too close instantly disintegrated, transforming into clumps of bloody mist.

However, at that very moment, something astonishing occurred: the stone mountain cracked open, and incredibly soft green light blossomed from within, with beams of green radiance shooting skyward.

The exceptionally soft and sacred light brought a sense of tranquility to one's mind. The faint green hue brimmed with vibrant life, as if an oasis had emerged in the sky.

Just then, a massive green treasure basin surged up from underground and absorbed the Demon Emperor's ultimate treasure.

"Boundless... that... that Heavenly Venerate!" At that moment, the fat Daoist's speech became muddled. He exhaled forcefully before regaining his composure and cried out, "It's the Demon Race's Treasure-Gathering Basin!"

"Someone was hiding there, prepared with the Treasure-Gathering Basin. What a scheme, plotting for the Demon Race's ultimate treasure!" The fat Daoist instantly understood why the stone wall there could attract sentient weapons: it contained the legendary Treasure-Gathering Basin. Although that person had been suppressing the basin with divine power, it still managed to draw some sentient weapons.

The Treasure-Gathering Basin appeared to be carved from green chalcedony, a green so deep it seemed to penetrate one's bones. It shone brilliantly, and sacred green light cascaded across the sky, incredibly soft and making one feel completely at ease.

Within the Treasure-Gathering Basin, an extremely dazzling mass of light was now shining – the very ultimate treasure of the demon race. Its boundless radiance was blinding, making it impossible to discern its form. It spun continuously within the basin, like a rotating cosmic starscape, not only emanating vast and unfathomable demonic power but also constantly shooting out blazing divine brilliance.

Ye Fan's heart jolted. The person standing before the Treasure-Gathering Basin was of unparalleled grace and beauty, excelling all others in the world—it was the perfect woman he had seen not long ago.

At that moment, she was ethereal and sacred, still flawless and pure, with peerless beauty. She swiftly put away the Treasure-Gathering Basin, transformed into a streak of light, and sped away, leaving behind only a string of laughter as melodious as celestial music: "Thank you, seniors, for your assistance. Otherwise, even if a descendant of the Demon Emperor came personally, it would be difficult to truly retrieve the Great Emperor's ultimate treasure..."

The three great figures who had given chase wore cold expressions. They had carved numerous "Dao patterns" outside the Demon Emperor's tomb, condensing an extremely powerful "Heavenly Alignment." Although this didn't fully block the Demon Emperor's ultimate treasure, it played a significant role by slowing down its irresistible impact. However, this only allowed the hidden person to reap the benefits. Otherwise, even with the legendary Treasure-Gathering Basin, they wouldn't have been able to take away the Demon Emperor's ultimate treasure.

The three great figures simultaneously launched an attack, striking at the streak of light that was about to vanish into the horizon. This kind of attack was irresistible even to gods and demons, and they themselves could barely withstand it. Terrifying, tsunami-like energy fluctuations instantly swept forth, causing the entire sky to seemingly ignite with blinding intensity. All surrounding cultivators were terrified and quickly dodged.

However, this powerful strike seemed to hit empty space, touching nothing. A sky full of radiant light surged up, and the woman, with a flash, vanished, entering the soft glow and disappearing instantly.

"That little demoness was well-prepared. She carved 'Dao patterns' there, condensed 'Heavenly Alignment,' and crossed through space. By now, she's probably thousands of miles away."

The three great figures' voices were cold. Someone had actually pulled a trick right under their noses, snatching the Demon Emperor's ultimate treasure from their grasp. This was almost unbearable for them.

"Opening the Demon Emperor's tomb was easy, but intercepting the ultimate treasure proved extremely difficult. We didn't intend to, but we ended up helping her..."

With a flash of light, the three great figures vanished, rushing quickly towards the shattered central area of the Demon Emperor's tomb. The legendary ultimate treasure of the Eastern Wilderness human race had not yet been found, and this was what they most desired.

"Why hasn't the Eastern Wilderness human race's ultimate treasure appeared yet..." the fat Daoist muttered softly.

Ye Fan was also very curious. He kept hearing people talk about the legendary ultimate treasure of the Eastern Wilderness human race, but he still didn't know what it was. It seemed that even those transcendent great figures greatly desired it and eagerly wished to possess it.
