Zhang Chen returned to the room, pondering the mysterious sphere, wondering why there were two identical powerful artifacts in the world.
"Could it be that these two artifacts are a combination skill?" Zhang Chen speculated privately in his heart.
If it is a combination of two twelfth-tier powerful artifacts, what kind of terrifying power would it wield once combined?
Zhang Chen was moved! He muttered:
"What if I take this sphere back too..."
"Don’t even think about it. You can’t take things from this time and space." Just as Zhang Chen harbored greed, the petal left by the Great Freedom Celestial Demon flickered, turning into a phantom that shattered Zhang Chen’s thoughts.
"What do you mean?" Zhang Chen was taken aback upon hearing this, his eyes showing a hint of astonishment.
"It’s extremely complicated to explain, involving laws and causality. Even if I explained, you wouldn’t understand. Anyway, you can’t take things from this world, why would I deceive you?" The Great Freedom Celestial Demon said irritably.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Chen felt somewhat disappointed, then looked at the Great Freedom Celestial Demon: "Why did you come out voluntarily?"
"There’s an enormous Great Creation, do you want it?" The Great Freedom Celestial Demon looked at Zhang Chen with eager anticipation.
"What kind of Great Creation?" Zhang Chen asked, holding a skeptical attitude towards the words of the Great Freedom Celestial Demon: "If it’s truly beneficial, would you leave it for me?"
"Fine, I can’t hide it from you. I’ve discovered a legendary Great Creation. If we can seize it, we will be invincible in Heaven and Earth in the future. But there’s a terrifying creature guarding that creation, and I need your Nine Bends Yellow River Talisman Array to suppress it." The Great Freedom Celestial Demon said.
"Lending you the Nine Bends Yellow River Talisman Array is no problem, but how will we divide that creation?" Zhang Chen asked.
"It’s yours!"
The Great Freedom Celestial Demon said without hesitation.
"Wouldn’t you be working for nothing then? How come I never noticed you having such a benevolent and compassionate heart?" Zhang Chen looked at the Great Freedom Celestial Demon with a hint of mockery in his eyes.
"What do you know? That treasure is of no use to me. However, the creature guarding the treasure is very useful to me. Its body is unique. If I can obtain it, I’ll have great prospects for the future." The Great Freedom Celestial Demon didn’t hide anything, knowing this was not the time to continue pretending. If it deliberately concealed information and this kid discovered a flaw, it would be a big problem. After all, based on his understanding of this kid, even the slightest rumor would make him flee, and he couldn’t risk scaring him away because of hiding the truth.
Zhang Chen showed a thoughtful expression upon hearing this: "What kind of treasure is it?"
"When Heaven and Earth first opened, a strand of Innate Yin Yang Qi got the essence of the Law of Yin Yang and was nurtured into an artifact. However, that artifact is not yet mature, and a peacock is guarding it. The peacock is very tricky, and I can’t deal with it either. I only need the peacock’s body; as for the artifact, I’m not interested." The Great Freedom Celestial Demon said.
"What good is it if you give me that artifact? Didn’t you say I couldn’t take it back to the real world?" Zhang Chen asked, suddenly losing interest.
"This treasure is different. As long as you do as I instruct, I guarantee you can take it back to the real world." The Great Freedom Celestial Demon quickly said.
Zhang Chen looked at the Great Freedom Celestial Demon with suspicion, fearing this dog was deceiving him to get him to help.
"I swear on my origin. If there’s even a single falsehood, may I be scattered and die miserably." The Great Freedom Celestial Demon swore directly.
As a powerful artifact, every word and deed resonates with Heaven and Earth, and oaths cannot be taken lightly.
"When do we set off?" Zhang Chen was tempted.
"Wait for my news." After saying this, the Great Freedom Celestial Demon turned back into a petal, falling into Zhang Chen’s hand.
"I didn’t expect an unexpected gain, hopefully, the Great Freedom Celestial Demon doesn’t disappoint me." At this moment, Zhang Chen restrained his inner agitation and continued to stay in the tribe, waiting for a chance to spy on the Ape Tribe’s secrets.
However, Zhang Chen did not expect the opportunity to come so quickly, as if assisted by a divine force.
The third day
Chong walked all the way to the temple, took out a seemingly unremarkable incense from his sleeve, and lit it under the altar of the deity of Houtu. As the Incense Qi rose slowly, it floated towards the deity of Houtu.
Seeing his goal achieved, Chong II quietly walked out of the temple and returned to his home.
That night
Suddenly a cry of battle rang out, and countless samurai charged from outside the tribe, shouting and attacking the Ape Tribe.
"Be careful, it’s the Ant Tribe’s ambush." Lei shouted loudly, holding a spear in the village.
In an instant, the two sides were entangled in combat. However, the Ape Tribe was caught off guard, and with Chong leading people to set fires and cause chaos within the tribe, the entire tribe was instantly at a disadvantage.
"Daring to cause chaos in my territory, you all deserve to die!" Seeing his tribe at a disadvantage, the divine light from the body of the deity of Houtu shot out, about to slay the invading Ant Tribe people.
"Houtu, your opponent is me! Today I shall devour you to replenish my origin and elevate my cultivation."
At this moment, in the distance, a gigantic black shadow flashed with dark rays, lunging straight towards the Ant Tribe.
"Ant, even though I’m severely injured, I’m not someone a mere ant can covet. Since you dare to offend me today, today is your death day." Houtu’s voice remained cold. The next moment, a woman’s figure was seen riding the sphere, rushing towards the gigantic black shadow.
