567: Chapter 567: A Treasure for Success

Rattle, rattle~~

At the mountaintop, the gap, which was originally no more than a zhang in diameter, suddenly split open.

Large swathes of the mountain slid away.

Hum~~

Suddenly.

A wave of Divine Soul fluctuations emanated from within the mountain.

"What is this？？！！！"

Inside the gap at the mountaintop, a ball of light about three feet in diameter slowly rose.

Everyone subconsciously released their Divine Soul power; the feeling was like a mayfly trying to shake a tree, filling them with terror.

In Xiao Weiqing's eyes, the golden radiance felt tangible, stinging his nerves.

"Grab it!"

"This is mine!"

Only this single thought remained in Xiao Weiqing's mind.

Above.

A tall figure took in the situation below.

"Eh?"

"Mystic Soul Armor."

"The manufacturing method for this armor must have been lost long ago. Unexpectedly, one has appeared within the Purple Sea. Strange."

"It's a bargain for these brats. I wonder who will end up with it."

The burly man murmured with interest, looking forward to what would happen next.

...

...

"Everyone, I want this treasure," Sogo said indifferently.

"Haha~~" someone laughed loudly, "Sogo, this treasure is worth at least hundreds of thousands of credits. You want to take it with just a single sentence?"

Sogo didn't waste words; two large bronze hammers appeared in his hands.

"I will not hold back!"

The speaker's tone faltered. Sogo's strength was no lie; being ranked in the top 20 of the Sixth Heaven was something earned through hard fighting.

Beside him, Ji Sheng also wore a grave expression.

In terms of raw strength, he couldn't compare to Sogo. Although his strength was ranked in the top 30 of the Sixth Heaven, every 10 ranks in the Sixth Heaven represented a significant tier gap.

Now, anyone with eyes could see that this treasure was absolutely priceless. It was impossible for anyone to give up, especially Sogo.

Once Sogo went all out, no one could be his opponent.

"Xiao Weiqing, we..."

"No, Ji Sheng, this time I'm going alone."

Before Ji Sheng could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Xiao Weiqing.

"?"

"Xiao Weiqing, alone? Are you serious?"

"If we don't cooperate, this precious treasure will definitely be snatched by Sogo," Jate said hurriedly.

"I want to try."

Xiao Weiqing said softly, his tone unquestionable.

"You..."

Jate wanted to say more, but was stopped by Ji Sheng.

"Since that's the case, we won't force it. I wish you success."

"A reminder: Sogo has cultivated his Incarnation to the third stage, just one step away from forming a Special Physique. Even without Source Power, he is not someone an ordinary person can contend with."

Xiao Weiqing nodded, "Thank you."

Time passed.

Everyone was waiting for the precious treasure before them to emerge.

"Ji Sheng, what kind of trump card does this Xiao Weiqing actually have? To actually want to snatch the precious treasure single-handedly, he doesn't seem to take us seriously," Jate transmitted via Divine Soul to Ji Sheng.

Since Xiao Weiqing was not allying with Ji Sheng and Jate, he was an enemy.

Facing a precious treasure potentially worth hundreds of thousands of credits, there was no talk of backing down.

If they accidentally injured Xiao Weiqing during the chaotic battle, no one would be able to find them afterward.

"I'm not sure. Looking at him, he is very confident," Ji Sheng replied, "Never mind him. You hold Sogo back, and I will go snatch the treasure. If it succeeds, we split it 30-70."

"No, 40-60."

"At most I'll give you 35 percent."

"Fine, 35 percent is 35 percent," Jate agreed, "You better hurry. I'm no match for Sogo."

"Rest assured."

...

Time ticked by second by second.

Half an hour later.

The situation changed suddenly.

The white ball of light began to shake irregularly up, down, left, and right, as if it were about to break free from its restraints.

The 9 people preparing to seize the treasure immediately tensed up, ready for battle.

"Help me block Ji Sheng and that Xiao Weiqing. Once I seize the treasure, I won't treat you unfairly," Sogo said to his two companions.

"Saying that is useless, Sogo. This is a precious treasure worth at least hundreds of thousands of credits. Just tell us how to split it," a young man holding a blade said.

Sogo felt dissatisfaction flash in his eyes upon hearing this, but he couldn't lash out.

Even though he had enough confidence in his own strength, he couldn't deal with Ji Sheng and Xiao Weiqing at the same time alone, not to mention there was also Jate, whose strength was not weak.

"Ten percent each."

"Not enough."

The young man holding the blade shook his head.

"Then how much do you want?"

"Thirty percent each."

"You're crazy."

Sogo shouted. Thirty percent each? He would only be left with forty percent. These two were dreaming; what kind of strength did they have to dare to open their mouths like a lion?

"Sogo, don't get excited, don't get excited," another long-haired youth stepped out to mediate, "Sogo, that Xiao Weiqing is no pushover; his strikes are ruthless. We aren't asking for too much with 30 percent."

"Impossible!"

Sogo said sternly.

If they were outside, Sogo would have already attacked to teach these two a lesson, but the precious treasure was about to emerge, and he had no choice.

"Then we'll take a step back: 25 percent."

"Twenty percent," Sogo said coldly, "You know my strength. If that doesn't work, then forget it."

"Good, deal."

The two agreed immediately; they didn't dare to push Sogo too hard. Sogo was right—if they were even one person short, the precious treasure would most likely be snatched by Ji Sheng and the others.

"Get ready, it's about to start."

Sogo and the other two stared intently at the white ball of light, while simultaneously remaining vigilant against Xiao Weiqing and the other two opposite them.

Suddenly.

The gap at the mountaintop went quiet.

The white ball of light stopped moving, and the rubble at the edge of the gap also stopped sliding.

The next second.

Without a sound.

The white ball of light vanished.

"Hmm?"

"Where did it go?"

In the blink of an eye, the white ball of light appeared a hundred meters away, and with another flash, it appeared five hundred meters away.

"It's there!"

"Quickly, grab it!"

The 9 people's Divine Soul power surged out, driving their soul-cleaving rafts, and they rushed to give chase.

Xiao Weiqing took the lead, with Sogo following close behind.

"Looking for death!"

Sogo threw a punch at Xiao Weiqing, unleashing a massive fist aura using only his Physical Body strength.

"Scram!"

Xiao Weiqing turned and swung his blade, splitting the fist aura, and simultaneously borrowed the momentum to get closer to the precious treasure.

"Hmph, looking for death!"

Rumble~~

A rumbling sound of mountains and rivers shaking suddenly came from behind Xiao Weiqing.

Sogo had transformed into a towering, earth-yellow giant, nearly four meters tall, his body like a continuous mountain range, his skin covered in mysterious yellow stone patterns, stepping on the Void Realm, leaving footprints with every step.

"What the hell is this?"

Xiao Weiqing frowned. Was this Sogo's third-stage Incarnation?

"Xiao Weiqing, be careful, this is the Mystic Yellow Incarnation; its strength and defensive power are astonishing," warned Ji Sheng, who had arrived from behind.

"Die!"

Sogo, transformed into the Mystic Yellow giant, caught up to Xiao Weiqing in a few steps and threw a punch.

Xiao Weiqing did not panic and swung his blade to strike.

Clang!

A metallic clashing sound rang out, sparks flew, and the blade of ten thousand calamities developed another notch. The powerful force made the web between Xiao Weiqing's thumb and forefinger numb.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ji Sheng bypassed the two of them and rushed towards the precious treasure.

Sogo stepped on his soul-cleaving raft, his tall body shooting out to catch up with Ji Sheng.

"The precious treasure is not something you can touch."

"Then let's see what you've got," Ji Sheng said, completely unafraid, and launched a counterattack.

Sogo, having entered the third-stage Incarnation, was indeed powerful; he fought one against two, blocking both Xiao Weiqing and Ji Sheng.

The three of them were locked in a chaotic battle.
