Chapter 141: Shura Divine Gear

141. Chapter 141 Shura Divine Gear

Li Xuan looked at the Soul Nurturing Wood in the box, nodded with satisfaction, and said that this piece of Soul Nurturing Wood's wooden spike was sufficient to contain his soul.

Li Xuan gained another means of self‑preservation.

Watching the Soul Nurturing Wood already absorbing walnut oil, Li Xuan closed the box again and placed it into the space of the Palm Sky Bottle.

Then Li Xuan picked up the blood‑red long sword lying on the ground.

After merely swinging it twice, Li Xuan felt the sword was not at all comfortable to wield.

It's not that the sword is bad; its quality is fine, but Li Xuan is still too young, and the sword is taller than his own height.

So Li Xuan, without hesitation, tossed the sword into the Kongming Crystal, letting it gather dust inside.

"The Killing Treasure Vault has only the last floor I haven't visited; I wonder if the barrier up there still has any defense after ten thousand years, a barrier that could repel the blood‑red nine‑headed bat. I bet whatever's hidden inside is extremely precious," Li Xuan said, looking upward with anticipation.

Ten thousand years ago, when the blood‑red nine‑headed bat was lurking in the Killing Treasure Vault, it tried to enter the fourth floor, but the fourth floor seemed wrapped in some force, and the bat couldn't ascend.

Having absorbed the soul of the blood‑red nine‑headed bat, Li Xuan naturally knew this.

Therefore Li Xuan was also unsure whether he could enter the fourth floor.

Nevertheless, it's up to human effort, and Li Xuan still intended to try.

Soon, Li Xuan arrived at the staircase leading from the Third Floor to the fourth floor.

Li Xuan knew this barrier had little lethality, only strong defensive power.

Li Xuan climbed the stairs, gazed at the barrier a stone's throw away that resembled a water film, and slowly extended his hand.

The moment his hand touched the barrier, its surface rippled like water.

The next second, Li Xuan, feeling nothing, slipped his hand into the barrier.

"What? This barrier is aged and broken, useless?" Li Xuan was stunned, staring at the barrier with disbelief.

This was the thing that once stopped a 990,000‑year Soul Beast, and I managed to enter it effortlessly.

Although the barrier had lost its effect, Li Xuan was unsure whether the place was safe, so he took out several Starfire Fruits, infused them with soul power, and tossed them into the fourth‑floor space.

The fourth floor, which had been pitch black, was instantly illuminated.

The entrance to the fourth floor was relatively small; Li Xuan peered inside, found nothing conspicuous, then tilted his ear to listen carefully, confirming no traps had been triggered.

After waiting a while longer, Li Xuan finally passed through the barrier and arrived at the fourth floor of the Killing Treasure Vault.

With the light of the Starfire Fruits, Li Xuan saw the surrounding environment clearly.

The fourth floor turned out to be a vast hall, its walls lined with murals.

"There must be some treasure hidden here; otherwise they wouldn't have set up such a strong defensive barrier," Li Xuan observed the surroundings while boldly speculating.

After a while, Li Xuan's observations confirmed that there were essentially no mechanisms, and he began to move around.

It makes sense; with such a strong barrier outside, having fewer internal mechanisms is normal.

Once the surrounding safety was confirmed, Li Xuan approached the murals and began to examine them closely.

However, the murals had existed for so long that only faint lines were visible, making their content indecipherable.

Li Xuan wasn't an archaeologist and didn't get hung up on the murals' content, so he continued to explore the hall.

……

Hard work pays off; after half an hour of searching, Li Xuan finally found a hidden mechanism.

Li Xuan carefully surveyed the surroundings, prepared to enter the Palm Sky Bottle space at any moment, and then reached out to press the mechanism.

As the mechanism activated, the surrounding soul power slowly gathered. Li Xuan quickly stepped back, watching the area warily.

"Kakakaka…"

Immediately, a series of mechanism‑activating sounds echoed from the wall, and a hidden door appeared on it.

A weird puppet exuding a rotting aura stepped out from inside.

"No way, not another possession?" Li Xuan said, showing a helpless expression at the puppet, yet he also assumed an offensive stance.

The weird puppet was made of Soul Nurturing Wood, and now that it can move, there must be a soul inside.

"You... are the Shura God Lord's heir... no, how can you be a Great Soul Master? With your cultivation, how could you reach here? Did the soul of the blood‑red nine‑headed bat disperse?" the weird puppet stuttered, then said in disbelief.

"Who are you?" Li Xuan retorted irritably, not having even dismissed him as a puppet, yet the puppet scorned his low cultivation! "My name... Kakar, Shura Grand Priest!" the weird puppet straightened its back and said seriously to Li Xuan.

"Kakar? The Shura Grand Priest who perished with the blood‑red nine‑headed bat?" Li Xuan was stunned; he hadn't expected to meet someone from ten thousand years ago.

The memory of the blood‑red nine‑headed bat indeed contained this person, and considering the time, this puppet could very well be Kakar.

Kakar ignored Li Xuan, walked to a nearby wall, activated a mechanism, and a crystal sphere fell out from the wall.

Kakar extended his hand and infused the crystal sphere with a strand of soul power.

A white light entered the weird Kakar's head.

Kakar froze, and after a moment let out a sigh.

"I never imagined that after ten thousand years, the City of Slaughter would become like this. Alas, our incompetence has turned the Shura God Lord's heir inheritance site into a dead land," Kakar sighed, his expression melancholy, then knelt and earnestly prayed to the Shura God Lord.

Li Xuan also didn't know what the fellow intended, so he could only stand awkwardly aside, waiting for Kakar to rise before speaking again.

"Kid, I have a request; I hope you can help me," Kakar said, turning to Li Xuan.

"Huh? Grand Priest, it seems our relationship isn't that close yet..." Li Xuan raised an eyebrow, asking with puzzlement.

Kakar paid no mind to the reply, stood up on his own, walked to another mechanism, opened it, and took out a half‑meter‑long, elongated black Wooden Box.

"Here, take a look at this," Kakar chuckled lightly to Li Xuan.

"Grand Priest, what is this thing?" Li Xuan asked Kakar.

"This is the Shura Divine Gear, the Shura God's heir soul bones..." Kakar pointed at the seven ink‑black soul bones inside the box.

Upon hearing about the Shura Divine Gear, Li Xuan's eyes widened.

Li Xuan didn't know what the Shura Divine Gear was, but he knew the Angel Divine Gear, which was a whole set of soul bones!

Li Xuan hurriedly opened the system's inspection function.

Soul Bone: Crown of Arrogance

Age Limit: 100,000 years

Quality: Gold

Introduction: One of the Shura Divine Gears, originally from a 100,000‑year‑old gold‑blooded double‑winged lion king, of extremely high quality, and imbued with several generations of Shura Divine power, possessing the soul skill of arrogant gaze and kingly authority.

The remaining ones are: the Left Arm of Jealousy, the Right Arm of Greed, the Body of Gluttony, the Left Leg of Lust, the Right Leg of Laziness, and an external attached soul bone, the Wing of Anger.

These seven soul bones are all, 000-year Soul Bones!

"Indeed it is a Shura Divine Gear, Lord Kakar, is this for me?" Li Xuan asked Kakar somewhat unconfidently.

"Please don't dream…" Kakar said leisurely. (End of Chapter)
