The fight in the ancient temple!
Chapter 518: Slaughter in the Ancient Temple
![Seeking Monthly Votes]
In the Limitless Void, a monk clad in a kasaya radiated Limitless sorrow and despair.
He watched as star regions collapsed across the Universe, and countless living beings perished.
He wanted to stop it, but was powerless.
On a continent, there was an incomparably magnificent, colossal Buddhist temple and countless Buddhist shrines.
With a thunderous sound.
The continent crumbled, and numerous powerhouses were annihilated and died.
The monk casually took some Disciples with him, crossing countless star regions step by step, arriving in the Relic World, and waiting for the final moment in the precious temple there.
Then, all the monks sat cross-legged.
Suddenly.
A terrifying shockwave attacked, causing the world to tremble immensely.
Then, suddenly, Buddhist Disciples one by one silently lost their breath, and this… terrifyingly powerful monk also closed his eyes, completely devoid of life.
Before his death.
He cried out, 'I am unwilling!'
Crack!!! The scene shattered, and Ye Tian and the other Princes slowly regained their senses.
'That was the scene of this… monk's dying obsession, which hasn't dissipated even in this current Universe.'
Ye Tian thought to himself:
From that scene of obsession, it could be seen that this… monk was extremely powerful, a terrifying powerhouse who could cross countless star regions in a single step and suppress star rivers with one hand.
Perhaps he was a Supreme! But even a Supreme ultimately died! 'This… monk and the other monks came to this Relic World, not dying from impact, but silently perishing. Even a Supreme died silently, could it be….'
Ye Tian suddenly thought of a possibility.
Once the Universe is destroyed, all living beings must die; even a Supreme cannot survive.
Perhaps this was the reason why all living beings from the previous Universe did not survive into this cosmic era.
At this moment.
One of the Princes from the Divine Race 047, named Yuan Feng, sighed, 'During the great destruction of the Universe, not even a Supreme can survive. One day in the future, when our Universe undergoes its great destruction, even if we can Cultivate to the Cosmic God Realm and gain infinite lifespan, we will still perish along with the Universe!'
A Prince from the Demon Race sneered, 'Heh heh, it's unclear if you can even leave this Relic World alive. Why are you lamenting this? Even if you eventually reach the Cosmic God Realm, or even the Sovereign Realm, our Universe is still a long way from its destruction. Do you really need to worry about it now?'
'Hmph, I was just lamenting!'
Prince Yuan Feng said coldly.
At this moment, all the Princes were extremely wary of others, each activating their defensive measures to prevent sneak attacks.
In this Ancient Temple, treasures could be encountered at any time. If a treasure appeared, a slaughter might ensue.
The reason everyone stood here peacefully now was that no treasures worth fighting over had been discovered yet.
Although the remains of the suspected Supreme monk were preserved, they had lost the power of a Supreme. Otherwise, none of the Princes present would even be able to approach him.
Ye Tian tried to use his Copy Talent to check the monk's talent situation, but the result was disappointing.
The other party had no talent. Perhaps the talent had dissipated. After all, this powerhouse was a living being from the previous Universe, having died countless ages ago. Perhaps even the talent imprint had been annihilated and dispersed along with the great destruction of the Universe, naturally unable to be preserved until now.
Another possibility was that living beings from the previous Universe were not limited by talent, as different Universes have different rules.
The remains held no value, so the other Princes naturally paid no attention to them, instead searching for treasures within the Ancient Temple.
However, Ye Tian approached the monk's remains and touched his skull, arm, and so on….
'What a powerful Physical Body!!!!'
Ye Tian was extremely surprised.
He felt that his Physical Body was simply too weak compared to the other party's, not even one-hundred-thousandth, or 0.001%! 'Strange, above the God-level, isn't the divine body fixed? It can't continue to increase in strength or defense, only Divine Power and Divine Soul. '
'Even if this person was a Supreme-level Child of the Universe, after breaking through to the God-level, his Physical Body shouldn't be this powerful!'
Ye Tian was puzzled.
Now, he finally understood why the monk's Physical Body had not decayed.
Under normal circumstances, after losing Divine Power, Soul, and the Origin of Laws, even the physical bodies of powerhouses would slowly decay; it was merely a matter of the speed of decay.
For example, the monks outside the main hall of the Ancient Temple, though also incredibly powerful and definitely strong, still decayed into dust, dissipating upon touch.
However, this monk's Physical Body was powerfully defying the heavens to an extent that even after losing all power, his mere Physical Body was enough to remain immortal for Limitless ages.
Such a Physical Body was far beyond Ye Tian's imagination! 'If I could also possess such a Physical Body, perhaps I would have hope of becoming a Supreme-Ranked Prince at the Emperor-level, breaking the shackles of the Universe!'
Ye Tian guessed.
He did not search the monk's body for treasures, choosing instead to leave directly.
For powerhouses above the Star System Level, their Dantian would transform into a world. Such powerhouses would often place treasures within their Dantian world or in spatial storage items like Sumeru Rings.
However, in either case, this powerhouse's inner world collapsed and disappeared the moment he died. Even if those treasures existed, they would have entered the spatial turbulence and dissipated along with the great destruction of the Universe back then, and spatial rings and similar items would have long become useless.
Because of this, there were no good items on the corpses of powerhouses from the previous cosmic era. Only items stored within this Relic World could be preserved, but truly preserved items were extremely rare.
This knowledge was also what Sovereign Xuan Yuan had told Ye Tian previously, to prevent him from wasting time.
Suddenly.
Boom!!!! A battle began not far away! Swish! Ye Tian flew towards the direction of the battle.
This Ancient Temple had more than just this one main hall; it consisted of numerous buildings.
At this moment, several Princes were fighting beneath a pagoda, and the Prince from the Golden Race and a Prince from the Demon Race had already fallen. The Prince from the Celestial Race was also severely wounded, not far from death.
Ye Tian's arrival aroused the hostility of two Princes from the Divine Race and another Prince from the Demon Race.
'Scram!'
One of the Divine Race Princes launched an attack towards Ye Tian.
'Eternal Grade Highness!'
Ye Tian was slightly surprised.
Eternal Grade Highnesses were extremely rare; even major cosmic races didn't have many… Eternal Grade Highnesses. And these two Divine Race Princes and that Demon Race Prince were all Eternal Grade Highnesses. As for the deceased Demon Race Prince and Golden Race Prince, they should not have been Eternal Grade Highnesses, which was why they were instantly killed.
As for that Celestial Race Prince, his strength was also very weak; he was merely affected by the ripple and was severely wounded and dying.
'Die!'
Ye Tian would not show mercy when facing a Divine Race Prince; he directly unleashed his Heavenly Moon Blade ultimate technique.
Pfft! A single blade pierced through the Divine Race Prince's body, and the terrifying power of the Blade Law shattered the Divine Race Prince's vitality.
In just an instant, this… Eternal Grade Divine Race Prince fell and died.
'No good, he's not an ordinary Eternal Grade Highness!'
The Divine Race's Prince Yuan Feng and the Demon Race's Eternal Grade Highness were both terrified and quickly tried to escape.
'Myriad Realms!'
With a thought, Ye Tian trapped the two Eternal Grade Highnesses from the Divine Race and Demon Race.
These two Eternal Grade Highnesses were only of the third tier, their strength far inferior to Ye Tian's.
Ye Tian killed them easily with just two strikes.
'Don't kill me!'
The Celestial Race Prince not far away, who should have been just an ordinary-level Prince, was retreating in terror.
Pfft! Ye Tian swiftly slashed out with his blade, directly slaying this… Celestial Race Prince.
Immediately, Ye Tian walked over and took out the Celestial Race Prince's hand, which was gripping a sharp weapon. It appeared to be a one-time use weapon, capable of launching a fatal attack on an enemy.
Every Prince possessed life-saving means or trump cards. If one was soft-hearted or a bit slow, allowing the opponent to activate their trump card, they might truly be severely wounded.
Ye Tian naturally understood this principle. He would not give the enemy any chance to turn the tables. Even if the enemy was just an ordinary-level Cosmic Child, he would not be careless.
After collecting the Sumeru Rings of these Princes, Ye Tian didn't carefully inspect what was inside but instead surveyed his surroundings, finally understanding why these Princes had started fighting.
'A set of armor!'
Ye Tian's gaze fell upon a skeleton in front of the pagoda. This skeleton was wearing a set of armor, which had been perfectly preserved.
This person's identity should not have been low; perhaps he was the guardian of this pagoda. This set of armor was also extraordinary, containing a faint aura of the Origin Gold Law.
Ye Tian had seen High Grade Divine Artifacts, but their fluctuations were not as strong as this set of armor.
'Could it be a Supreme-grade Divine Artifact?'
Ye Tian guessed.
He reached out and touched the corpse, but this corpse had not completely turned to dust. Only the flesh and blood had dissipated, leaving behind a golden skeleton.
The golden skeleton was perfectly preserved, showing that this person's Physical Body was also very powerful. Although not as strong as the remains of the powerhouse in the main hall, it wasn't too far off.
Ye Tian took the armor off the skeleton and immediately tried to refine it.
'So difficult to refine!'
Ye Tian frowned.
Immediately, he activated his Time Talent, accelerating time, and then continued refining.
Outside, ten days passed in a blink of an eye, while Ye Tian had been refining for a full year under Time Acceleration.
On this day.
Ye Tian finally completed the initial refinement and finally knew the grade of this armor.
It was not a Supreme-grade Divine Artifact, but an Origin Divine Artifact that surpassed Supreme-grade Divine Artifacts!
However, Ye Tian couldn't use this Origin Divine Artifact yet; he could only truly use it when his cultivation was higher in the future.
Having obtained an Origin Divine Artifact, Ye Tian was in a good mood and immediately looked towards the pagoda.
This pagoda was located in the center of the Ancient Temple and should be a very important place within this Ancient Temple.
Ye Tian pondered for a moment and then decided to enter this pagoda.
Perhaps, there were extremely valuable items within this pagoda.
