Chapter 1277: Everyone Takes Treasures

Bloody!

Slaughter!

Weird!

In an instant, various auras fell from the skull forest above his head, gathering toward He Pingsheng.

Even at this moment, He Pingsheng heard shouts and screams from the ancient period and saw some cruel illusions.

He saw countless skulls, carrying a surging aura, flying toward him, each one opening its wide mouth, revealing ghastly white teeth.

Fortunately, He Pingsheng's spiritual sense and concentration were sufficient.

He knew that what was happening in front of him was just an illusion.

"Zha..."

He Pingsheng took a deep breath and then let out a loud shout toward the skull forest above his head.

Everything around suddenly stopped again.

The illusion disappeared, and all kinds of sounds and auras also disappeared.

At this time, He Pingsheng blasted his spiritual sense into these skulls.

In the empty cavity of each skull, there was a small-scale formation, and in the light membrane of each small-scale formation, an item was placed.

The items emitted various lights.

Golden, cyan, red, purple...

And so on, not all of them!

He didn't know what they were, but He Pingsheng felt that there should be all kinds of heavenly treasures, or immortal artifacts, demon artifacts, etc., inside.

Just at this time, a light swept past from the outside and suddenly landed beside He Pingsheng.

He Pingsheng looked and saw it was 【Demon King Tianyu】 among the remaining six great Demon Kings.

"Eh?"

"Why are you here?"

He Pingsheng said, "Why can't I be here?"

"No!" Demon King Tianyu said, "That's not what I meant... I mean, how could you walk into my passage?"

"Doesn't everyone have their own passage?"

Swoosh...

No sooner had he finished speaking than another Demon King landed.

Demon King Tianlu!

Good heavens!

Everyone was meeting again.

The three of them couldn't be bothered to look at the great hall anymore; they turned their heads together and looked toward the massive lake in front of the hall.

They saw a lotus bud stretching out from the water in the lake, suddenly blooming.

Then, a streak of light flew out from within the lotus and landed.

It was none other than Ming Riyue!

Ming Riyue was also stunned; he looked at the crowd and asked, "What is going on?"

No one could answer this question.

Soon, the four great Demon Kings—Tianri, Tianshi, Tianku, and Tiangu—also arrived one after another.

At this point, the eight of them were finally gathered.

"According to the records in ancient books, after the opening of the Heavenly Emperor's ruins, which happens once every three million years, each of us should only have one individual passage!"

"And within the passages, all sorts of things can happen!"

Tianku frowned, looking at the crowd as he said, "Some people will encounter demonic creatures, some will encounter powerful living beings, and some will encounter opportunities!"

"But regardless, they will all eventually enter a small room!"

"Legend has it that in that small room, there will be a skull!"

"There are treasures inside the skull; what you get depends entirely on your luck!"

"In other words, these nine people and nine passages should never intersect; once everyone enters their passage, they shouldn't meet again!"

"Until the Mystic Realm closes and everyone is teleported out!"

"But now..."

Tianku couldn't figure it out: "I don't know if something new has happened here, or if those ancient records are wrong?"

No one could answer this question.

"Forget it, there's no point in dwelling on these things now!" Demon King Tianshi looked up at the thousands of skulls on the dome and said, "If I'm not mistaken, the opportunity should be inside these skulls!"

"Everyone, I'll take mine first!"

Swoosh...

After speaking, Demon King Tianshi was the first to fly into the void, reaching out to pluck the largest skull.

He felt that he should pluck the skull first and then take the treasure from inside it.

But no matter how much magic power he exerted, the skull didn't budge an inch.

He couldn't pluck it!

Rumble...

Just at this moment, the thousands of skulls overhead, driven by the swaying black chains, began to move in a completely irregular pattern.

They crossed and wandered, the scene extremely bizarre.

Combined with the chaotic treasure light projected from within the skulls, the scene appeared even more eerie.

"Hehe... I'm coming..." Demon King Tianku didn't choose the largest skull, but instead flew toward one that was flashing with purple light.

He followed the skull's movement, but instead of trying to pluck it, he reached out and pulled a treasure from within the skull.

"Ahahaha..."

Demon King Tianku laughed heartily, saying as he laughed, "Purple is noble; this purple one must be a good thing!"

This old fellow had even taken the formation array along with it.

He easily opened the purple formation and took a look, instantly flying into a rage: "Actually... a magic crystal?"

That's right!

Lying in this old fellow's hand was a piece of magic crystal.

However, this magic crystal was much larger than an average piece.

"It's not bad either!" Ming Riyue smiled and said, "It's a top-tier magic crystal!"

Top-tier magic crystals are very valuable.

However, this still left Demon King Tianku somewhat disappointed.

"It seems..." Demon King Tianshi said, "The value of the treasures here isn't determined by the color of the formation, but by the size of the skull!"

"My turn!"

Demon King Tianshi leaped up, found the huge skull he had first wanted to pluck, and reached out to pull out the crimson formation array inside!

This guy was insatiably greedy; after getting this formation, he reached out to fish for other skulls.

But he came up empty-handed; apart from the crimson formation light orb he got at the start, he gained nothing else.

"What's going on?" Demon King Tianshi frowned.

Tianku said, "Let me try again!"

He flew into the void again, wanting to continue fishing for treasures.

The result was the same as Tianshi's; he couldn't pull out any more heavenly treasures.

"I understand!" Demon King Tianshi said, "There must be a rule restriction here; each person can only take one item!"

The others nodded in agreement.

At this moment, Tianku said, "Tianshi, don't just stand there, hurry up and open your formation, let everyone see what you got?"

"Yeah!"

"Open it quickly!"

The crowd joined in the clamor.

He Pingsheng and Ming Riyue were both full of curiosity.

Tianshi opened the formation light orb directly, and the item inside emerged.

It was a pair of shoes.

Although these shoes were also an immortal treasure and might have a speed-boosting function, their tier was very low—only fifth tier!

"Sigh..." Demon King Tianshi let out a long sigh of frustration and said, "This trip was for nothing!"

I can only take one item, and you give me a fifth-tier one?

What's the use of that?

"My turn!"

"My turn..."

Next, the crowd went one by one to make their selections.

By now, everyone knew that the tier of these treasures had nothing to do with the color, nor did it have anything to do with the size of the skull.

It was likely all down to luck.

He Pingsheng was in no hurry to move!

Ming Riyue wasn't in a hurry to move either.
