Asura Mad Emperor-Chapter 716: Stellar Stone

"Open!"

From a commanding height, Qinchuan opened his Innate Pupils, and his fiery gaze pierced through the layers of light, reaching straight into the center of the green light sphere.

"That guy is dead!"

Qinchuan said softly, as he saw Ghost Ci through the layers of halo.

At this time, however, his body was floating in the center of that green light sphere, the life force of his physical body having completely dissipated, with limbs gradually detaching from his torso.

Yet, upon his face was a strange expression.

There was surprise, anger, and disbelief, as if, just before his death, he had seen or thought of something astonishing.

"That big fellow just died?"

The three glanced at each other.

Ji Huo'er even patted her chest, secretly relieved she hadn't recklessly rushed in.

This Holy Pond was the place for the awakening of the Ghost Race youth, and even a pure member of the Ghost Race had perished in it; they were still members of the Human Race, and if they really charged in rashly, their fate would probably not be better than that of Ghost Ci.

However, the three were even more curious about that burst of green light within the rift, silently speculating about what it could possibly be.

The gaze of Qinchuan was sharp as thunder; he approached the rift, trying to discern more details.

But aside from the deceased Ghost Ci, there was an emptiness to the world, and he could not see anything else at all.

In the end, Qinchuan hadn't discovered anything else; after weighing his options, he chose to stay away from this place.

The rift contained a murderous aura that made his heart palpitate.

"Let's go! To enter the Holy Pond likely requires some special methods from the demon and devil races!"

Just like the four great arrays of this Ancient Realm, although Qinchuan stumbled into the two great palaces, it was only through the use of Divine Stones such as the Water Regulation Bead and the Fire Regulation Bead that he came out unharmed.

Without such Magic Artifacts and Magical Treasures, he would probably still be trapped in the western array.

As for the Holy Pond – having no protective treasures and lacking the Spells to enter it – if he blundered in, the consequences would be unpredictable.

Qinchuan and his group did not continue to linger and departed towards the distance.

Qinchuan didn't know.

Several days after he left this place, the rift suddenly began to open gradually, like a gaping Abyssal Maw, growing bigger and bigger.

Soon after, a tremendous amount of green liquid burst from the rift, turning this expanse of the void into a green sea.

Then, the calm sea began to tumble wildly with bubbles rising continuously from the depths, as if boiling water, vigorously steaming and starting to produce a vast halo of light.

"Boom, boom"

Accompanied by the sounds of dull collisions between Magic Artifacts and Divine Skills.

The next moment, the green surface of the water suddenly split apart, and two figures leaped out of the Holy Pond.

The person in the lead was clad in golden armor, slender in build, the embodiment of grace and beauty—it was none other than the Wu Xin Fairy in her Valkyrie form.

Her golden armor was shattered, revealing a glimpse of snow-white skin; she fought as she retreated.

The person behind her had an equally elegant figure, obviously another woman.

However, had Qinchuan been there, he would've been greatly surprised.

Because the one pursuing the Wu Xin Fairy wore a silver mask on her face.

Embedded in the forehead of the mask was a green Divine Stone, emitting a misty radiance that enveloped the woman's entire body.

Yet, in the confrontation with the Wu Xin Fairy, she did not seem to gain any advantage; her robe was torn in many places, exposing her clear, translucent skin.

After the Wu Xin Fairy transformed into a golden Great Roc and flew out of the green sea, the woman with the silver mask ceased her attack and did not continue the pursuit.

"It's you again!"

The crisp voice of the woman in the silver mask was unexpectedly pleasant to hear.

"Wu Xin, you repeatedly foil our plans—what exactly are you trying to achieve?"

The silver-masked woman stood on the surface of the sea, shouting her question harshly.

From her words, it seemed that the two had clashed numerous times before.

"What do you mean by saying I'm spoiling your big plans?"

Wu Xin Fairy, fully clad in golden armor with her face hidden behind a golden helmet, replied in an emotionless voice, her expression indiscernible.

"I'm acting on my master's orders to acquire a piece of Stellar Stone from this Holy Pond. I haven't even mentioned you ruining my mission, yet you blame me instead."

"Hmph, wishful thinking on your part. We worked countless years to open this Devil Mountain—how could we let you benefit from it so easily!" the woman with the silver mask retorted sharply.

"Ridiculous, this Ancient Realm belongs to the Demon and Devil races from Ancient Times; what does it have to do with you? Since this place is open, the treasures naturally belong to whoever can obtain them!" Wu Xin scornfully said.

"You really have a way with words, don't you? I don't want to waste time talking to you," the woman retorted, abruptly changing her tone and waving impatiently, "Enough, enough. Since you've only taken one Stellar Stone, I won't make a big deal out of it.

However, I advise you to leave quickly. If my senior brothers find you, you won't be able to escape the consequences."

It was apparent that this woman wasn't the type to hold onto an argument without reason. In this Holy Pond, there were countless Stellar Stones; one more or less wouldn't make much difference.

Of course, her main reason was that after several days of battle with Wu Xin Fairy in the Holy Pond, she hadn't gained an upper hand at all, and at this point, she didn't want to fight anymore.

However, before she could finish speaking, the surrounding space began to tremble.

That was a sign of someone tearing through the space, arriving at this place.

Wu Xin Fairy's eyes sparked like lightning, and without further hesitation, she left the area.

Having obtained a Stellar Stone, her goal was already reached; there was no need for her to entangle herself further.

Not long after the Wu Xin Fairy left, the space cracked open, and another man with a silver mask stepped out.

But the Divine Stone at the center of this man's face was fire-red.

"Why has this Holy Pond suddenly erupted?"

Observing the scene around him, and seeing that his junior sister, who should have been beneath the Holy Pond, was now here, he asked curiously.

"Just now, that Wu Xin barged in here!" The woman briefed him on the battle she and Wu Xin had over the past few days.

"Wu Xin... Her backing is on the same level as our teacher; it's not too surprising that she could enter the Holy Pond unharmed," the man murmured to himself.

"Well, let her have the Stellar Stone," the man said, not overly concerned either.
