Chapter 497: This Item Has a Fate With Me (Two-in-One, Seeking Everything)

Hmm, a friendly and close exchange!

The Tiantai Sect leader turned to discuss it with the other Tiantai Sect disciples, and finally made up their mind.

Pop~

After a few breaths, the Langya Liu Clan finally broke the Restriction of the second Heavenly Gang Returning Origin Pillar. Just as Liu Xudong was preparing to grab the treasure inside, the four Tiantai Sect disciples launched a fierce attack.

The Langya Liu Clan was naturally on guard, but their main targets of caution were the Imperial Family and the Yuanling Academy; they had not expected the weakest Tiantai Sect to come and pull the tiger's whiskers, which caught them off guard.

"Ah!"

In the Langya Liu Clan camp, that Third Rank Heavenly Pride who was already suffering from Mental Power tremors was directly engulfed by energy, leaving only a shrill scream echoing in the hall.

When the energy dissipated, the Langya Liu Clan had lost one Third Rank Heavenly Pride, and two other Third Rank Heavenly Prides had their Demon Pets killed, leaving them in a state of Mental Power tremors.

At the same time, the Tiantai Sect leader activated Instant Movement. Their figures abruptly disappeared, and when they reappeared, they had already arrived in front of the Heavenly Gang Returning Origin Pillar that had lost its Restriction, reaching out to grab the treasure.

"Seeking death!"

Liu Xudong was quite exasperated. His Lord-rank Black Dragon spat out a stream of Dragon Breath, and the Tiantai Sect leader had no choice but to give up, using Instant Movement to return to their own camp once again.

This is intolerable!

Liu Xudong immediately commanded the remaining Langya Liu Clan Heavenly Prides to launch a counterattack. Even if the Langya Liu Clan's strength was damaged, it was still not something the Tiantai Sect could compare to, and for a time, the Tiantai Sect became precarious.

Just at this moment, a small and exquisite six-tailed fire fox rushed out, snatching the treasure with lightning speed, and wanted to return to Dou Yuansheng's side.

Seeing the Langya Liu Clan and the Tiantai Sect fighting until they were bloodied, Dou Yuansheng could not suppress the Greed in his heart, thinking this was an opportunity, and thus decided to pull chestnuts from the fire.

Unfortunately, when Liu Xudong made his move, he had never forgotten this treasure. Under his command, an even smaller Spirit-Devouring Mouse collided with it at a ghostly speed.

The six-tailed fire fox did not have time to react before it was knocked flying by the Spirit-Devouring Mouse, suffering heavy injuries directly.

At the same time, that piece of treasure flew up and fell toward the ground.

The Spirit-Devouring Mouse jumped up, wanting to snatch back the treasure.

Suddenly, Dou Yuansheng's Hell two-headed dog rushed out; one of its ferocious dog heads bit toward the Spirit-Devouring Mouse, while the other dog head bit toward the treasure.

Squeak~

Suddenly, the Spirit-Devouring Mouse let out a sharp, ear-piercing cry. The Hell two-headed dog, being in such close proximity, felt its eardrums vibrate, and its brain instantly fell into chaos.

It was also at this time that the others from the Royal Academy all made their moves, not letting Liu Xudong obtain this treasure.

Liu Xudong was so angry his teeth itched. Having finally broken the Restriction, he naturally would not give up easily, and had to lead the Langya Liu Clan Heavenly Prides to fend off the Tiantai Sect and the Royal Academy.

The three parties fell into a chaotic battle, and for a time, no one was able to snatch the treasure.

Li Changsheng folded his arms; he had never thought about snatching this treasure. His goal was merely to reduce the number of competitors in the second stage and seize the initiative.

As for why the Royal Academy made a move, it was merely because Dou Yuansheng felt there was an opportunity to be exploited, and thus joined the ranks of those snatching the treasure.

Not far away, Dou Yuanbiao watched his ninth brother make a move to compete, without the slightest intention of intervening.

At this moment, the hall suddenly underwent a change. The 28 Heavenly Gang Returning Origin Pillars whose Restrictions had not yet been broken suddenly flashed with jade-white brilliance, an invisible ripple appeared, and the Restrictions of the Heavenly Gang Returning Origin Pillars instantly dissipated.

At the same time, under the traction of an invisible force, the 28 treasures turned into streams of light, flying out of the Heavenly Gang Returning Origin Pillars while rushing toward the various exits of the hall.

The golden hall was designed quite ingeniously; besides the four exits in the east, west, south, and north, there were also hundreds of meter-wide doorways above.

Under these circumstances, blocking the doors was out of the question; wanting to obtain the treasures mainly relied on strength and fate.

At the first opportunity, the people from the Imperial Family and the Yuanling Academy all made their moves, wanting to intercept the nearest treasures.

Li Changsheng frowned slightly. As soon as his Mental Power wrapped around a treasure, it was instantly broken through by the treasure. These treasures also carried powerful force; to obtain the treasures, one had to wear down the force they carried.

Like Li Changsheng, others had not expected this situation. It was not just Mental Power; the binding skills of some weak Demon Pets were also easily broken free from. Added to the fact that the treasures were quite fast, in the blink of an eye, several treasures had already flown out of the hall and disappeared.

Only then did the three forces that were originally in a chaotic battle stop and join the ranks of snatching the treasures. As for that one treasure that the three parties were fighting over, it was finally obtained by Liu Xudong.

However, they had lost the initiative.

"Stop them!"

While commanding his Demon Pets, Li Changsheng projected his Mental Power outward. These treasures had left the Heavenly Gang Returning Origin Pillars, and their energy fluctuations could no longer be concealed.

The Demon Pets all began to act. Except for the Crown Flame Bird, Kailan, and Adai, the remaining Demon Pets began to use their physical bodies to intercept the treasures, limiting the treasures' movement space.

In an instant, Li Changsheng received Mental Power feedback and saw more than ten bright, clear points of light moving rapidly, with one or two points of light occasionally flying out of his Mental Power range.

Among these treasures, only a portion emitted energy fluctuations.

"Strange!"

Li Changsheng exclaimed in surprise. The energy fluctuations of these points of light were quite strong, almost all reaching the Heaven and Earth Essence grade, while there was only one treasure that reached the Heaven and Earth Rare Treasure grade!

Is this really a legacy treasure?

Flame King Di Zhiyi is too poor, isn't he!

Although these treasures were all high-quality, they fell far short of Li Changsheng's expectations.

As a King, to have only one Heaven and Earth Rare Treasure grade item, and not even see a Heaven and Earth Wonder grade treasure—who would believe that if it got out!

Li Changsheng naturally did not believe it, but now was not the time to think about this; he would lock onto that Heaven and Earth Rare Treasure grade treasure first.

At this time, Aixi collided with a treasure, knocking this treasure toward Kailan.

Kailan reacted extremely quickly, immediately casting Burrowing Vine. More than ten thick vines instantly drilled out from the ground, instantly wrapping the treasure tightly and turning it into a green sphere.

The sphere suddenly bulged in one spot; the force carried by the treasure was very strong, and it looked like it was about to break out.

Clatter~

In just a short breath of time, the Burrowing Vine ruptured, and that treasure flew out again.

No sooner said than done, the young Red Dragon, having prepared in advance, did not care if the treasure would be damaged. Before the treasure could pick up speed, it used its Dragon Claw to press the treasure directly onto the ground, using brute force to wear down the force carried by the treasure.

At this time, several more treasures were knocked over by the Demon Pets.

Vermilion Bird Constellation Star Formation Restriction!

Earth Cage!

The Crown Flame Bird and Adai seized the opportunity and simultaneously cast area-of-effect binding skills, with the fire-red cage inside and the earthy-yellow cage outside, wrapping three of them up.

Whether it was the Vermilion Bird Constellation Star Formation Restriction or the Earth Cage, they were both Bloodline Inheritance Skills, and their binding strength was naturally far superior to the Burrowing Vine. However, this time they were binding three treasures, and coupled with the fact that it was not night, the Vermilion Bird Constellation Star Formation Restriction was instantly broken through.

However, the Vermilion Bird Constellation star formation ultimately delayed the momentum of the three treasures, preventing the Earth Cage from shattering at the first moment.

After holding on for another breath of time, the Earth Cage finally shattered.

The three prepared Demon Pets immediately took action; Yuangungun used Mount Tai Pressing Down to pin one treasure with its belly; the Ancestral Leopard-Lin Beast opened its mouth to bite onto one treasure; the Giant Whale Kun was just about to pin the last treasure, but unfortunately, its movement was a beat slow, and the treasure ultimately escaped.

The Giant Whale Kun wore a dejected expression, feeling that it had failed Li Zhangsheng's trust.

Li Zhangsheng's Demon Pets had temporarily subdued the three treasures, but to collect them, he still needed to slowly wear down the power attached to them.

At this moment, several more treasures flew out of the hall, and almost all the remaining treasures were being chased by other Heavenly Prides; some people even came to blows over the ownership of the treasures.

The scene showed a trend of becoming chaotic again, but this was temporarily unrelated to Li Zhangsheng, as he had already locked onto that Heaven and Earth Rare Treasure grade treasure.

At this time, that treasure was being chased by Liu Xudong's Demon Pets, and it could be vaguely seen that it was a fire-red bead.

Li Zhangsheng hesitated for a moment; he did not act immediately, as he was not prepared to come into conflict with Liu Xudong before the power on this treasure was completely worn away.

Li Zhangsheng observed the situation and finally decided to help his four teammates subdue the treasures they were chasing.

He was not a bad person; since his four teammates had just helped him, he naturally had to return the favor, not to mention that this was just a simple task for him.

Unlike Li Zhangsheng, due to the large gap in strength, the four teammates, including Luo Jing, had not been able to restrict the treasures they were chasing, and their Demon Pets were being toyed with by the treasures time and time again.

These treasures gave people the feeling that someone was manipulating them from behind; otherwise, how could they have such astonishing spirituality?

Li Zhangsheng kept a Mind Eye; apart from keeping a few Demon Pets by his side to deal with emergencies or suppress treasures, the rest of his Demon Pets were all sent out to help the four teammates control the treasures.

In the blink of an eye, Kailan bound the treasure locked onto by Luo Jing, helping Luo Jing control this treasure.

On the other side, Aixi crashed into the treasure locked onto by Zhao Shuyi, barely managing to knock it flying, and immediately after, the Crowned Flame Bird flapped its wings against it, whereupon Zhao Shuyi's few Demon Pets swarmed over and joined forces to suppress the treasure.

It was also at this time that the Heaven and Earth Rare Treasure grade treasure looked like it was about to be caught by Liu Xudong's few Demon Pets.

With no other way to go, this treasure took the initiative to fly toward Li Zhangsheng, as if it were throwing itself into his arms.

Li Zhangsheng felt somewhat surprised, but his reaction was not slow; he immediately stretched out his hands covered in Starlight Power and clapped them together on the treasure.

Clap~

With his hands closed, the treasure's momentum was halted; not giving the treasure a chance, Li Zhangsheng pressed his hands with force, giving the treasure absolutely no opportunity to break free.

His strength was comparable to a Leader-level Demon Pet, and with the assistance of the Third-Grade Star Palace Lotus Platform, how could he fail to suppress this treasure?

"This item has a predestined affinity with me!"

Li Zhangsheng sat cross-legged on the lotus platform, pressed his palms together, and greeted the rushing Liu Xudong.

Originally, Li Zhangsheng had still been planning to go after this treasure, but he had not expected it to throw itself into his arms; how could he have any reason to give it up?

Liu Xudong's face turned red and then green; he wanted to point at Li Zhangsheng and curse him out loud—such shameless words, how could you say them?

Li Zhangsheng feigned a cough to cover up his inner embarrassment, then changed his tone and said, "Ahem, treasures choose their masters; those with virtue shall possess them!"

However, Liu Xudong's expression became even uglier; this was clearly calling him someone without virtue.

Not far away, seeing the scene here, Dou Yuanbiao revealed a smile, wishing in his heart that the two would fight to the death so that he could benefit in the end.

At this time, Aixi, Kailan, and the Crowned Flame Bird flew over and, along with the other remaining Demon Pets, glared at Liu Xudong; the atmosphere on the field instantly became heavy.

Liu Xudong narrowed his eyes and glanced at Li Zhangsheng's few Demon Pets; if it weren't for the fact that the task his family had given him was not yet completed, given his original temperament, he really would have had a go with Li Zhangsheng.

"Hmph, this treasure will stay with you for now; when I have time, I will take it back!"

Liu Xudong left behind a harsh remark; time was precious now, so how could he waste it?

Li Zhangsheng shrugged indifferently, though he was secretly overjoyed in his heart; he hadn't expected to obtain a Heaven and Earth Rare Treasure so easily.

Under his control, the Third-Grade Star Palace Lotus Platform poured a large amount of starlight into his hands continuously, forcefully suppressing the treasure between his closed hands and wearing down the power on the treasure's outer layer.

Soon, three minutes passed.

With Li Zhangsheng's help, the treasures locked onto by Xu Xiangzhi and Wang Xinyi were successfully suppressed, and the three treasures suppressed by Yuangungun, the Young Red Dragon, and the Ancestral Leopard-Lin Beast also had their power worn away, and Li Zhangsheng used his Mental Power to store them into his Space Ring.

Besides this, the situation in the golden hall became increasingly chaotic.

More and more Heavenly Prides who had not obtained treasures became jealous, and taking advantage of the gaps while other Heavenly Prides were chasing or suppressing treasures, they all took action to snatch them.

Among them, two Third Rank Heavenly Prides from the Imperial Family set their sights on the treasure suppressed by Zhao Shuyi's Demon Pets, commanding their Demon Pets to try and snatch the treasure.

Dou Yuanbiao was concentrating on suppressing a treasure, and by the time he discovered the actions of the two Imperial Family Heavenly Prides, it was already too late to stop them.

It did not exceed Dou Yuanbiao's expectations; Li Zhangsheng struck ruthlessly, and Aixi and Kailan moved with great speed, appearing in front of Zhao Shuyi.

The two Imperial Family Heavenly Prides' expressions changed drastically; they had not expected Li Zhangsheng to be so loyal, were they not afraid of being retaliated against by the Imperial Family?

Before the two Imperial Family Heavenly Prides' Demon Pets could return, Aixi bit into the throat of one Demon Pet, easily biting through its windpipe; Kailan unleashed a Leaf Blade Slash, cleanly slicing a Terror Wolf into two halves.

Under the absolute gap in strength, these two Demon Pets, which were only at the Upper Realm, were destined to be killed in seconds.

Pfft~

With the death of the Demon Pets, the mental connection between the Monster Tamers and their Demon Pets instantly collapsed; the two Imperial Family Heavenly Prides were directly affected, spitting out a mouthful of blood, their expressions withered, and they hurriedly used most of their mental energy to suppress their surging Consciousness Seas.

This was still the result of holding back; otherwise, if Aixi and Kailan had directly killed their Life-Bound Demon Pets, they would have either died or become vegetables.

Dou Yuanbiao wanted to stand up for his two partners, but after looking at the situation, he turned silent again; his two Demon Pets were currently suppressing a treasure, while all of Li Zhangsheng's Demon Pets had been liberated, and he did not have the habit of looking for abuse.

It was also at this time that Li Zhangsheng felt the movement in his hands disappear; he had successfully used the Starlight Power to wear away the power attached to the treasure, and he looked at it impatiently.
