Strongest Lord by Opening Blind Boxes

Chapter 415: Chapter 298: Void Celestial Divine Map (2)

Taihao said, ”Kalami, zha!”

Wang Yi immediately understood. Taihao was saying that it was not yet time for the Master of the Heart to awaken, and no one could rouse them. Furthermore, these were matters that required no outside interference. When the time came for the Master of the Heart to awaken, they would do so naturally—not a moment sooner, not a moment later.

He directly rejected Wang Yi’s request and warned him not to attempt to awaken the Master of the Heart. It would be best not to enter the Great Dream Immortal Map, either. If he insisted on acting willfully, he would have to bear the consequences himself.

Reason told Wang Yi that this version of Taihao, who was a higher level and untainted by Evil Spirits, was more trustworthy.

After a moment of thought, he tentatively asked Taihao, ”Senior, if you haven’t been invaded by Evil Spirits, why do you sit here in desolation?”

Taihao stared at Wang Yi and sighed. This time, he surprisingly didn’t speak the Ancient Divine Language. He began to speak slowly, ”This world has not yet been completely destroyed. My teacher is here, my students are here, my family and friends are all here. This is my home. Naturally, I must remain here as well.”

Wang Yi asked again, ”If I may ask, Senior, what’s the deal with those fellows from the Celestial Escape Star?”

”The Thief Divine Country. A bunch of petty grave robbers marked by the Earth Book, binding themselves to atone for their sins, that’s all,” Taihao said. ”The Void Celestial Divine Map has opened. Go fight for your opportunity, and then leave!”

Having said this, Taihao waved his hand and departed.

The scene before Wang Yi blurred, and he found himself out of the strange Spiritual Realm. In front of him, Taihao had already closed his eyes. The light around his body dimmed, and he became as still and unmoving as a statue.

Tie Suifeng and Yin Kui hurriedly questioned Wang Yi. The former asked, ”What happened? Brother Traveler, did you manage to communicate with the Mad God?”

The latter said, ”Brother Traveler, that scripture in the Mad God’s hands looks extraordinary, like a valuable Treasure. Can we snatch it?”

Wang Yi glanced at Yin Kui. ”This senior is Level 666. You want to snatch his Treasure?”

”Ah! Level 666? That’s impossible!”

Yin Kui’s face turned pale with fright.

”Let’s go.”

Wang Yi continued forward. A sudden curiosity struck him, and he asked Yin Kui, ”What level is your Divine Lord?”

”My Divine Lord... uh, wh-who is my Divine Lord?”

’What does this Player who doesn’t even have a displayed level mean by this?’ Yin Kui felt a sudden panic. ’Did he see through my identity? Don’t tell me he knows I’m from the Mingyu Divine Country.’

”Your Divine Lord is just ahead.”

Wang Yi’s faint remark sent Yin Kui’s mind reeling with speculation. ’Is this guy Wang Yi also playing the pig to eat the tiger? Is his real identity some big shot?’

”You’ll see her soon enough.”

Wang Yi didn’t elaborate. Acting as their guide, he rode the Three-Eyed Golden Lion across the plaza and toward the area beyond.

After passing through several districts that were simultaneously ancient and new, Wang Yi saw two patches of starry sky.

The two patches of starry sky were like two giant paintings, hung in the void and occupying half the heavens.

Continuing forward, Wang Yi saw a guidepost stele. After careful observation, he understood that the two starry skies were indeed two giant paintings. One was called the [Great Dream Divine Map], and the other was the [Void Celestial Divine Map], each a thousand zhang tall.

In front of each of the two Divine Maps stood a palace, and before each palace was a Profound Celestial Stele.

’The opportunity is in the Void Celestial Divine Map! Mingyu Divine Lord and the others are probably there. Since we’re here, we might as well see it through. Let’s head to the Void Celestial Divine Map first.’

Having made up his mind, Wang Yi followed the guidepost toward the Void Celestial Divine Map.

Before the Void Celestial Divine Map was a small palace. The Profound Celestial Stele standing in front of it was the entrance to the palace.

”The opportunity is inside the palace. The Mad God is no threat; the Players inside the palace are the real threat. Follow me in!”

Calm and composed, Wang Yi walked into the Profound Celestial Stele and, just as he expected, was instantly teleported into a grand hall.

The ceiling of this grand hall was a starry sky, but this sky was filled with numerous straight lines connecting the stars, as if outlining constellations.

As Wang Yi had anticipated, there were already five Explorers in the palace: Mingyu Divine Lord, the Starry Giant Beast Great Shock, Doctor Destruction Zandis of the Primordial Magnetic Divine Country, Godslaying Wizard Jigada of the Demon Realm Royal Court, and Li Jikong, who was cowering in a corner.

Among them, the Starry Giant Beast Great Shock was Level 500, while Doctor Destruction Zandis and Godslaying Wizard Jigada were both Level 499!

Wang Yi, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, Tie Suifeng, and Yin Kui were the latecomers.

In addition, there was another Ancient God in the palace. Her name was Yuan Zhou, and she was also Level 666. She had the appearance of a woman, her class was also Star Sea Priest, and she held a scroll in her right hand.

As Wang Yi’s gaze swept over the scroll, his heart stirred. It was [The Investiture of the Gods]!

’This must be a figure on par with Taihao!’

Wang Yi did not meet Yuan Zhou’s eyes. Instead, he met the gaze of Mingyu Divine Lord and gave her a slight nod.

Upon entering the palace, Yin Kui spotted Mingyu Divine Lord, and his face turned deathly pale with immense fear.

Mingyu Divine Lord looked at Yin Kui and said, ”So, you little jiao actually made it here. Daring to descend into the Mad Secret Realm in your true form before you Transform into a Dragon... you have some nerve!”

Hearing this, Yin Kui’s legs began to tremble. With a THUD, he fell to his knees and cupped his hands. ”Your subordinate, Yin Kui, pays his respects to the Divine Lord!”

”Yin Kui? I thought your name was Golden Lion.”

Tie Suifeng narrowed his eyes at Yin Kui, his own mind now in turmoil.

”Rise. It is also good that you might acquire an opportunity here,” Mingyu Divine Lord said with a nod, then paid him no further mind.

Yin Kui rose slowly, as if granted a great amnesty. Wang Yi noticed that beads of sweat had formed on his head.

”Why are you so scared? Is your Divine Lord that cruel? It’s not like she’s going to eat you, is it?”

The question came from Wang Yi, who spoke softly.

Yin Kui looked completely embarrassed and whispered, ”You must be a big shot too, sir. I’ve made a fool of myself in front of an expert, please forgive my incompetence! You should know, my Divine Lord isn’t cruel, and she doesn’t eat people... but she can turn people into Golden Cores!”

”Turn them into Golden Cores?” Wang Yi recalled the Golden Lion Golden Pill that Mingyu Divine Lord had given him, and a flicker of understanding lit his mind.

At this moment, Doctor Destruction Zandis of the Primordial Magnetic Divine Country, who looked like a bald, black-clad brute, spoke to the silent and motionless Ancient God Player, Yuan Zhou. ”Three more people and a beast have arrived. Is that enough? Can we open the Void Celestial Treasure now?”

Yuan Zhou, robotic and exuding a mechanical coldness, unfolded The Investiture of the Gods in her hand, pointed to a constellation in the sky, and uttered, ”Zha!”

At that instant, from a constellation pattern in the starry ceiling, a ray of golden light shot down. It floated before the crowd and transformed into a longsword.

Wang Yi looked up and saw some information about the starlight longsword.

[Void Heaven Divine Sword: A Void Celestial Treasure from Ursa Major, forged from the Starlight River. A Super Flying Sword!]

This information was clearly visible to more than just Wang Yi, and discussions immediately broke out in the grand hall.

”Divine Lord, this sword is extraordinary. Does it please you?”

The question came from Doctor Destruction, who bowed to Mingyu Divine Lord.

”It’s an ordinary item. Let’s see what else there is.”

Mingyu Divine Lord’s expression was indifferent.

Star Sea Priest Yuan Zhou continued her work. Another golden light descended from the starry sky and transformed into a long spear before everyone.

[Void Celestial Divine Halberd: A Void Celestial Treasure from the Soaring Snake Constellation, forged from Profound Yellow Bone. Its power is unparalleled!]

As the information for the long spear appeared, the crowd had little reaction.

However, the fleshy, ball-like Starry Giant Beast, Great Shock, let out a muffled roar. A scarlet tentacle shot out from its body, wrapped around the Void Celestial Divine Halberd, and pulled it toward Great Shock.

A bloody gash split open on Great Shock’s orb-like body, resembling a great maw, and it swallowed the Void Celestial Divine Halberd in one gulp.

After swallowing the halberd, the Starry Giant Beast Great Shock seemed satisfied and let out another low roar.

Yuan Zhou pointed a finger at it, and the Giant Beast dissolved into light and vanished.

”What a simple-minded beast. Satisfied with just that? Good riddance!”

Doctor Destruction snorted, then cupped his hands toward Yuan Zhou and said, ”Present the third Secret Treasure, please!”

Yuan Zhou did not speak, as cold and silent as a machine. A third ray of starlight suddenly descended from the sky, transforming into a suit of Starlight Battle Armor.

[Void Heaven Battle Armor: A Void Celestial Treasure from the White Crane Constellation, crafted from 625 Purifying Sky Divine Feathers and one Primordial Spirit Divine Jade. It is balanced for both offense and defense and provides the Flying Escape Technique.]
