However, the area that was breaking up was not limited to just the Ten Thousand Treasure Pavilion. The cultivators who exited were horrified to discover that the treasure mountain that had risen out of the water had started to tremble insanely as well.

Chasm-like cracks spread throughout the place. Seawater surged up intensely all around, waves soaring to the sky, then falling.

At some point in time, even the sky turned dark. Dense clouds covered it.

“What’s going on? What in the world is going on? It looks like the treasure mountain is going to explode!”

“Why is the treasure mountain behaving so strangely? It has appeared so many times before, but this never happened.”

“Some valuable treasure must be appearing. Otherwise, there would not be such a large commotion.”

Thousands upon thousands of cultivators fled the treasure mountain in horror and made wild guesses at the same time. They all stood in the distance and watched with apprehensive hearts as they looked at the crumbling and exploding treasure mountain.

Some bold experts just remained still in the Ten Thousand Treasure Pavilion.

Great grandmaster-level Martial Sages could protect their body from harm, even if the treasure mountain exploded.

The six great loose cultivators all remained on the fifth floor; none of them left. Gao Yangyu even revealed an excited expression.

“I wonder which unfortunate soul activated the restriction. Based on the situation, a valuable treasure must be appearing. Haha, this is going to benefit me!”

A sinister and ruthless look flashed in Gao Yangyu’s eyes. His Law Energy flowed continuously, forming a firm protective barrier around him.

A careful look would reveal that the Law Energy already surpassed that of Heavenly Sage Law and transformed into the higher-level Heavenly Law containing Heavenly Energy. It seemed to be one with the world, containing a very profound Dao.

However, this profound Dao seemed unstable. It was indistinct and sometimes disappeared. Whether this was deliberate or what was going on was unclear.

In the stone room, Xiao Chen’s and Mo Chen’s expressions were extremely grave. They had not expected the commotion to be this large.

The stone pillar before the two was currently crumbling bit by bit. Soon, the thing sealed underneath would be freed.

“Boom!”

The moment the stone pillar shattered, the treasure mountain sticking out of the water also exploded, giving off a thunderous noise.

Countless giant waves soared up about three kilometers high in succession, creating a magnificent spectacle of seawater invasion.

A chaotic shock wave blasted out, striking some of the cultivators who stood too close and crushing them into powder.

The light of a treasure shot into the clouds. Strong might radiated in all directions. Caught off guard, thousands of cultivators fell into the water, their Quintessence or Law Energy roiling.

Everyone raised their heads gingerly only to see a simple and imposing divine bow floating quietly in the air amid the treasure light.

This was the king of bows, profoundness incarnate. It could shoot through the sky and fell the sun, break through the sea to strike the bright moon.

“Emperor Yi Shooting Sun Bow!” someone exclaimed in a low voice.

The rumor was true. The Emperor Yi Shooting Sun Bow was really in this treasure mountain.

The Emperor Yi Shooting Sun Bow was the fifth-ranked Divine Weapon on the Divine Weapon Ranking. It was something that equaled a Primordial Emperor Treasure, the highest level of Spirit Weapons.

This bow was lost for more than ten thousand years, and now, it resurfaced in the world.

All along, the rumors of the Primordial Emperor Treasure being on the treasure mountain had never stopped circulating. Now, this proved the rumors true.

This divine bow was indeed in the treasure mountain. The way it appeared was extremely tyrannical. The entire peak that had emerged above the water exploded.

The cultivators all around were extremely excited, their blood surging. However, no one dared to make a move. Not a single person soared to the treasure light in the air.

If this were a King Grade Secret Treasure, everyone would definitely charge towards it like a hive of bees.

However, this was a treasure that far surpassed these cultivators’ strength. The disparity forced them to rein in their excitement. Everyone knew that if they were not strong enough, then even if they managed to snatch a treasure of this level, they would not be able to get out of this sea domain alive.

“Quick, look. There are people around the treasure light!”

Everyone squinted. In the area where the treasure light shone were six people standing around it.

The treasure light illuminated the countenances of these six people. Even from several kilometers away, their identities were clear. These six people were the six great loose cultivators, who had remained in the Ten Thousand Treasure Pavilion.

“Damn! It’s the six great loose cultivators. It’s over this time. The Emperor Yi Shooting Sun Bow will definitely fall into their hands.”

“Those City Lords already lost their faith in the treasure mountain long ago. Without a quasi-Emperor appearing, no one can stop these six great loose cultivators.”

“How unfortunate! The divine bow is actually going to end up in the hands of those evil loose cultivators.”

No matter which of these six great loose cultivators, their infamy spread far and wide in the Cloud Sea Domain. When they killed, they did not care about the reason. Everything depended on their moods.

Seeing that the Divine Bow was going to fall into the hands of these people, everyone naturally felt angry and furious. They were all upset about it but, nevertheless, no one dared to step forward.

“I shall make my move first. This bow will be subdued by this lady!”

Madame Flower laughed coquettishly, and her graceful figure looked very charming under the bright light. Smiling gently, she blocked the might of the treasure light and charged towards the pillar of light soaring into the clouds.

“Move aside!”

Someone else was even faster. The aura of an unparalleled king spread out as its owner swung the Heavenly War Halberd in his hand.

Xuanyuan Zhantian was like a raging king, with blood splashed for five hundred kilometers around him. With a gentle chop, all the citizens and officials bowed. Together with a boundless might, he forced Madame Flower back.

On the other side, the Old Fish Devil, the Silver Shark Swordsman, and the Iron Sword Maniac all fought each other, radiating boundless killing Qi. No one was willing to submit to another.

Only Gao Yangyu stood in the distance with a cold smile on his face. He stood erect with his hands clasped behind his back and looked at the divine bow floating in the air. He did not take a single step, as if he did not have any intention of making a move.

With the five other loose cultivators busy fighting, his posture took the crowd aback like it was unexpected yet reasonable.

Still, no one dared to take a look. This was because Gao Yangyu kept sweeping his gaze in every direction, intentionally or otherwise, like he was a king standing tall. This deterred everyone from taking even half a step forward.

“Old friends, stop fighting. I want the bow. In the future, when I rule the Cloud Sea Domain, I will definitely thank all of you!”

After muttering to himself for a while, Gao Yangyu, who had not made a move, suddenly acted. A strong suction came from his palm and pulled the Emperor Yi Shooting Sun Bow towards him with a ‘whoosh.’

“I just knew that you, you old devil, would not be able to resist!”

“In your dreams. Like this old lady will agree.”

“Once you rule the Cloud Sea Domain, we will have no way to live.”

“Stop dreaming, Gao Yangyu!”

Instantly, the five people fighting each other stopped at the same time, and a suction came from all of them, trying to pull the Emperor Yi Shooting Sun Bow over to themselves.

This bow was a masterless item. After sleeping for ten thousand years, the Item Spirit was already dead. Most of its spirituality was already gone, and only its strong might remained. Now, a few minor characters who were not even Martial Emperors pulled at it in a tug-of-war. This was really tragic for a Divine Weapon.

[TL Note: I’m not sure what is going on here, but the author previously wrote that an Item Spirit was a requirement for a Spirit Weapon to become a Divine Weapon. Hopefully, there is an explanation in the future.]

The people competing for Divine Weapons, even one that was not on the Divine Weapon Ranking, would at least be quasi-Emperors.

Gao Yangyu frowned slightly. Just when his patience reached its limits, a figure suddenly shot out from the sea. In front of everyone, this figure grasped the Emperor Yi Shooting Sun Bow firmly in his hands.

The treasure light filling the air scattered instantly. The dark clouds covering the sky dispersed, slowly going far away.

The blazing sun stood alone in the sky, pouring down sunlight and sweeping the darkness away.

The person holding the Emperor Yi Shooting Sun Bow was naturally the one who had been the closest to the divine bow when the treasure mountain exploded. It was Xiao Chen, who had been hiding in the water.

“Wen Ziran!”

When the sunlight fell on the face of the person holding the bow, several people exclaimed this name, which had recently spread through the Cloud Sea Domain, someone in the focus of attention.

While Xiao Chen was in Shattered Cloud City, he had killed people in his rage, slaughtering the eight Young City Lords. Despite eight quasi-Emperors searching the world for him, he actually appeared in the treasure mountain.

Furthermore, he made a forceful move, grabbing the Emperor Yi Shooting Sun Bow under the noses of the six great loose cultivators.

Xiao Chen held the bow in his hand, toying with it as if there was no one around. He praised it continuously, saying, “Not bad. Even without an Item Spirit and having lost more than half its Divine Might, this bow should still be considered the top bow in the world.”

Hmm. This is good. I can give this to First Senior Sister. Shui Lingling had helped him countless times, all the way since he arrived in the Kunlun Realm.

However, all the while, Xiao Chen had not had anything that he could take out to repay this kindness. Now, while fumbling around, he coincidentally obtained this divine bow. It seemed like this was heaven’s will.

Suddenly, he looked around, and his gaze met Xuanyuan Zhantian’s. The two felt this was strange. They had not expected to see each other here.

In this insignificant Cloud Sea Domain, Xiao Chen actually met an old friend from the Sky Dome Realm.

Xuanyuan Zhantian smiled helplessly. Then, he sent a voice projection, It looks like I do not stand a chance anymore, so I won’t be making a move. Be careful of this Gao Yangyu.

After Xuanyuan Zhantian sent the voice projection, he silently withdrew while everyone was focused on Xiao Chen.

“Brat! It is you again!”

The Silver Shark Swordsman immediately recognized Xiao Chen. He promptly drew his sword, and killing Qi surged from his body with nothing held back. He pushed off the air and charged towards Xiao Chen.

The Silver Shark Swordsman soared up, standing on a Silver Shark surrounded by splashes. Wave after wave surged behind him. By the time the cold light coming from him reached its brightest, there were already nine hundred and ninety waves.

With each wave, the might of the sword increased significantly. With all the waves layered over each other, the sword was now more than five times stronger.

This was the Silver Shark Swordsman’s killing move, Splashes Overflowing the Sky. When his aura was at its peak, he thrust his sword. His actions flowed like water and clouds, appearing perfect.

Drawing, soaring, storing energy, materializing the waves, and thrusting—all these were completed in the time it took for a spark to fly.

Those with weaker vision could not see the many tricks behind this sword strike, only the attack and the waves.

“You came just in time!”

Xiao Chen narrowed his eyes and put away the Emperor Yi Shooting Sun Bow. Then, he stretched out his hand and pointed.

In his dantian, one hundred True Dragons roared ferociously. These were the transformed Heavenly Sage Laws. His Law Energy had already risen to another level, comparable to that of Heavenly Laws.

He executed Flawless Bright Moon for the first time with the transformed Heavenly Sage Laws. The light became extremely resplendent. His finger glowed with a jade-like light; it became simply the most perfect and flawless finger in the world.

There were no other words that could describe a finger this beautiful.

“Dang!”

Xiao Chen’s fingertip blocked the Silver Shark Swordsman’s sword tip. Two powerful forces collided in the air, producing crisp and ear-splitting sounds. The entire space trembled, flowing like water and turning into an intense spatial storm.
