Chapter 96: Sea-Stabilizing Divine Pearls Merge, Hongmeng Heaven-Measuring Ruler!

At a glance, Chen Ku saw clearly the scene before him.

Immediately, his earlier astonishment vanished.

In its place came a deep ecstasy.

Nothing else!

Only to see within the endless divine radiance and immortal light, there suddenly appeared a string of shining, brilliantly radiant pearls, which shot up violently from the bottom of the Chaos Spirit Water Lake.

Twelve Sea-Stabilizing Divine Pearls!

No!

More precisely, it was another twelve Sea-Stabilizing Divine Pearls.

In that moment, Chen Ku suddenly realized.

As previously said, the complete set of Sea-Stabilizing Divine Pearls should number thirty-six.

And earlier, from the Red Dragon's hands, Chen Ku had obtained twelve of them.

It appears that beneath this lake as well, twelve are buried.

At this moment, the spirit treasures sharing the same origin produced some resonance and summons, causing the twelve Sea-Stabilizing Divine Pearls at the lake bottom to emerge on their own.

Moreover, there was no need for Chen Ku to deliberately subdue or control anything.

The newly flown twelve Sea-Stabilizing Divine Pearls hovered above his head and immediately began to merge with the original twelve.

In an instant, the twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Divine Pearls burst forth with divine radiance, mighty and vast, illuminating the entire Square Zhang Xiandao, making it shine brilliantly, ineffably mysterious.

The power of the spirit treasure also surged forward leaps and bounds, increasing at a visible speed.

Not long after, it had become the power of a high-grade innate spirit treasure.

"Haha, Heaven blesses this poor Daoist."

"Indeed, when luck comes, nothing can stop it."

Chen Ku laughed loudly and sighed.

This time, it was truly an unexpected joy.

Meanwhile, the Black Dragon beside him had already been stunned.

How can this be?!

How come now Chen Ku doesn't need to actively seek opportunities; the spirit treasure just comes to him on its own?

Upon this thought, the Black Dragon nearly spat blood.

If back then he hadn't given the twelve Sea-Stabilizing Divine Pearls to the Red Dragon, wouldn't this opportunity belong to him now?

The Black Dragon instantly felt an urge to slap his thigh in regret.

But immediately afterward, the Black Dragon looked at Chen Ku and couldn't help muttering:

"It is said that there are thirty-six Sea-Stabilizing Divine Pearls in total."

"Now that twenty-four have gathered, does he have hope of collecting them all......"

Chen Ku's great fortune and luck left the Black Dragon no choice but to submit.

He also felt such anticipation in his heart.

Although the Black Dragon's voice was low, it still reached Chen Ku's ears.

Hearing this, Chen Ku startled, then laughed.

Gathering all thirty-six Sea-Stabilizing Divine Pearls—isn't that easy?

Others don't know, but Chen Ku possesses memories of two lifetimes, naturally making it crystal clear.

The final twelve Sea-Stabilizing Divine Pearls are currently in the hands of Sage Tongtian, and will later be bestowed by him upon Zhao Gongming, the senior outer disciple of the Jie Sect.

Relying on such foreknowledge, wanting to take those final Sea-Stabilizing Divine Pearls into his hands is hardly a problem.

Moreover, needless to say, Chen Ku will certainly do so in the future.

After all, once the thirty-six Sea-Stabilizing Divine Pearls are gathered and combined with the Heaven-Earth Ruler, they can evolve the Thirty-Six Heavenly Directions, yielding boundless mana.

By then, aside from sages, he would likely be able to sweep aside the present age, with no strong opponent a match.

Even regarding future Dao verification, it holds an immense, unfathomable effect upon ghosts and gods.

After a long while, Chen Ku finally suppressed the ecstasy in his heart.

With a thought, he continued to circulate the Sea-Stabilizing Divine Pearls.

After merging, the power of the twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Divine Pearls grew even greater, mighty and vast, like covering the sky and blocking the sun.

The power of a small world manifested, endless, as if capable of swallowing all things in heaven and earth.

The terrifying devouring power erupted, seizing streams of Chaos Spirit Water that surged upward and fell into the Sea-Stabilizing Divine Pearls.

Not long after, the Chaos Spirit Water was completely absorbed, not a single drop left.

Of course, this time the Black Dragon did not feel that Chen Ku's "scraping clean" was improper.

Any mighty expert would do the same.

Thereafter, he gestured, and the twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Divine Pearls returned.

With the Chaos Spirit Water infused within, each Sea-Stabilizing Pearl shone with flowing divine radiance and gushing auspicious colors, an indescribable mystical feeling.

"Hehe, not bad!"

Laughing and sighing, Chen Ku stored them away.

Immediately, he continued onward in another direction to explore more locations on Square Zhang Xiandao.

Along the way, spiritual grasses swayed, immortal blossoms bloomed, rich fragrance permeated, refreshing the heart and spleen.

Chen Ku merely glanced casually, paying no further heed.

On this Square Zhang Xiandao, those spiritual roots and immortal blossoms are merely the most insignificant existences.

And this search did not disappoint Chen Ku either.

At one moment, several hundred li ahead, a strand of merit golden light suddenly appeared, without any omen.

The golden light pierced heaven and earth, releasing an incredibly sharp aura that made people's hearts tremble.

Seeing this, Chen Ku's heart stirred greatly; he hurriedly focused his gaze.

At a glance, he couldn't help but stare wide-eyed, his mouth agape, even the corners of his eyes twitching uncontrollably.

In his view, he saw a ruler about one chi long, its entire body ancient and mysterious, surrounded by primordial chaos qi, faintly emitting purple light, carrying an ineffable aura of the Great Dao.

Endless runes arose and vanished upon its surface.

Most importantly, two large characters written in innate divine script were inscribed upon it!

Measure Heaven!

All of this made Chen Ku instantly think of a legendary treasure, supremely powerful and unique throughout the ages.

Innate merit supreme treasure, the Primordial Chaos Measuring Heaven Ruler!

"This... this... the Measure Heaven Ruler?!"

"Hiss......"

Chen Ku drew a long, sharp breath, his voice trembling involuntarily, his heart shaken beyond words.

In the primordial world, merit-based spiritual treasures are already rare and extremely precious, let alone a supreme merit treasure.

And this Primordial Chaos Measuring Heaven Ruler is a treasure famed alongside the Supreme's Heaven-Earth Mysterious Yellow Lustrous Pagoda.

The former focuses on offense, the latter on defense, but both possess immense, immeasurable power, not yielding to the three great heaven-opening supreme treasures such as the Pangu Banner.

Moreover, the Primordial Chaos Measuring Heaven Ruler is bolstered by merit, allowing one to kill without accruing karmic debt.

In a certain sense, it is even more miraculous than the God-Slaying Spear.

No matter what, this is absolutely a top-tier supreme treasure.

Under the tremendous shock, Chen Ku stared blankly for a moment, unable to react.

And behind him, Hei Long also witnessed this scene.

He was shocked to the extreme, his pupils contracting sharply.

In an instant, a flicker of ruthless light burst within his large eyes.

Strike first to gain the advantage?

Directly seize this supreme treasure?!

Not bad!

Faced with the Primordial Chaos Measuring Heaven Ruler, Hei Long could no longer suppress the immense greed in his heart; the ferocity deep in his blood surged, making his gaze dark and captivating.

But just as this thought arose, a great sense of panic welled up in Hei Long's heart, causing him to shudder and suddenly awaken.

Hei Long suddenly realized that he had sworn an oath to the Heavenly Dao, which must not be violated.

If he dared to strike suddenly, before Chen Ku could react, the Heavenly Dao's retribution would already have descended.

Instantly, Hei Long's face fell with dejection and loss, yet he dared not harbor any designs on the Primordial Chaos Measuring Heaven Ruler anymore.

At that moment, as his thoughts churned,

On the other side, Chen Ku hesitated not.

Spatial laws surged into his legs; a thought moved in Chen Ku's mind.

"Divine Foot!"

In a single step, he leapt through space, immediately heading toward the Primordial Chaos Measuring Heaven Ruler.

However, Chen Ku's speed, though swift,

but almost simultaneously,

the Primordial Chaos Measuring Heaven Ruler, which had been hovering silently in the void, suddenly flashed with divine light and fled into the distance.

Seeing this, Chen Ku's face instantly filled with astonishment, greatly surprised!
