Chapter 695: Ancestral Life-Saving Divine Artifact
"Boom!" The buildings of Wanshen Manor had crumbled inch by inch within the collapsing space, with an unfathomable void in the distance.
Fang Jueyu knew very well that in no more than half a minute, he would disappear along with Wanshen Manor!
"Hahaha! Of the twenty-four prodigies of the Divine Tycoon Civilization, only Fang Jueyu remains, and even he is about to vanish!" The martial artists outside Wanshen Manor laughed more and more crazily.
"Hahaha, you still want to kill us? Can you even come out?"
"Don't worry, we'll take over those cities of yours!"
"Kato Taka, we'll take good care of your Grand Eagle City, and we won't let a single one of your friends get away!"
"Ma Yun, so what if you're rich? Can you buy your life with money?"
"Zhou Runfa, have you ever bet your life before? This time you finally lost the gamble, didn't you?"
...
Although they didn't find any treasure here, eliminating the heartache that was the Divine Tycoon Civilization was undoubtedly an unexpected gain.
In the Guna La Civilization, countless families were joining forces to offer a bounty for Fujiwara Takumi's head, with amounts reaching as high as several million source coins. Just now, they recorded the entire scene; with this video, they could definitely claim that bounty!
"What a pity, if only that treasure could have been brought out," Liu Qi still felt a twinge of regret. The value of that treasure, capable of triggering the destruction of the entire artifact and even attracting such terrifying skeletons to attack ferociously, was beyond imagination.
"Let's go; if this artifact disappears later, we don't know what impact it might have on this place. We shouldn't let ourselves get caught up in it!"
"You're right! I must hurry and take this news back!"
...
"Xiao Yi, why isn't it attacking anymore?" Ever since the exit of Wanshen Manor was sealed, the purple crystal skeleton had sat down on the ground. From its hollow eye sockets, Fang Jueyu seemed to see a very complex emotion.
"Maybe it feels like you have nowhere to escape," Xiao Yi said. "Back in the day, Wanshen Manor was quite an astounding place. The last remaining will might be reminiscing about its lost glory."
"It's just a skeleton. Does it still have to look 45 degrees up at the sky and act all emo?" Fang Jueyu shook his head. Suddenly, he took out a phone and started typing.
"Host, what are you doing?"
"No nonsense, writing a will!" Fang Jueyu didn't know why, but he became incredibly calm at this moment. "Ah, I haven't even seen my son grow up and show off around. Dying like this is really a bit disheartening!"
"Ergouzi, the braised pig's feet with soybeans I owe you, I'm afraid I won't be able to deliver on that. We'll go together, so at least we'll have company down there! Oh, if I had known this day would come, I should have first gotten you a bitch for a few thousand to have some fun. You must feel quite unsatisfied too, right?"
"And Xiao Hei, he's probably still sleeping in your Grand Eagle City right now. If I die, he'll have to die too. That dog is definitely going to curse me to death!"
...
At this moment, Fang Jueyu surprisingly started rambling nonstop, much like the Tang Monk.
"Alright, alright, can you stop nagging? Who said you're going to die?" Suddenly, Xiao Yi said something that made Fang Jueyu snap back to life. "Even if you die, you can be resurrected in the Material Universe, so what's there to fear?"
"Do you have a way out?" Fang Jueyu got excited and accidentally aggravated his injuries, causing him to cough violently.
"No nonsense! Acting all cool and failing is foolishness. If there wasn't a backup plan, do you think your ancestors could have lived so well?" Xiao Yi said. "They lived for hundreds or thousands of years, bluffing more times than you've eaten meals. If they had no means of protection, they would have been beaten to death long ago!"
"Come on, why didn't you say so earlier!" Fang Jueyu glanced at the skeleton quietly, still hovering in the air in a sitting position, evidently not noticing Fang Jueyu. "Come on, take out whatever good stuff you have!"
"In that pile of things your ancestors left, there's a piece of talisman paper, find it!"
The space was collapsing toward the entrance of the manor. Fang Jueyu hurriedly searched through Xiao Yi's built-in storage space. Sure enough, he found a piece of yellow paper with some indecipherable runes on it.
"Is this my family's life-saving divine artifact?"
"That's right! It's a teleportation talisman made by your ancestor, Fang Xiangpan! The most advanced teleportation talisman. You don't even need any transportation to reach any corner of the universe at any time!"
"Wow, that's impressive! How do you use it?" As even the final spot of safety was about to collapse, Fang Jueyu couldn't help but get anxious.
"Infuse it with Cosmic Source Power to use it," Xiao Yi suddenly became hesitant. "But... it's just..."
"What's just, hurry up and speak, there's no time!"
"For this kind of teleportation talisman, you need a strong foundation in rune knowledge and comprehension of space law. Fang Xiangpan had a knack for runes, but when crafting this thing, he only had the strength of a Controller, and his understanding of space law was not very high, so..."
"Tell me, I'm mentally prepared."
"So, this thing cannot teleport you to where you want to go. You might randomly appear anywhere in the Root Universe. If you're lucky, you might end up back in your Grand Eagle City, but if unlucky, it might transport you right in front of a Transcender-level beast!"
"Damn it! Are you kidding me? My ancestors set their descendants up like this?"
"Damn it, there's no time, forget it; this time I'll leave it to fate!" The shattered space had already reached Fang Jueyu's face. "If both ways lead to death, why not go for it!"
Fang Jueyu infused the last bit of Cosmic Source Power left in his body into that teleportation talisman. Suddenly, the talisman burst into dazzling light.
Moments later, a vortex appeared beside him. The vortex town was pitch black, and nobody knew what was inside or where it led.
"Bye-bye, skeleton!" Fang Jueyu waved at the skeleton.
Clearly, the skeleton hadn't anticipated Fang Jueyu having such a trick. Of course, with only instincts and no intelligence, it had no idea what the vortex represented.
With a swoosh, Fang Jueyu was suddenly swallowed by the vortex. At that moment, the skeleton, along with Wanshen Manor, vanished completely into the valley!
...
"What? The twenty-four prodigies of the Divine Tycoon Civilization appeared in Rosy Clouds Valley? They defeated hundreds of thousands of martial artists with just twenty-four people?"
"I heard that all twenty-four of them only had peak Source Energy User strength, yet they managed to kill several geniuses who had advanced to Divine Ability User!"
"My heavens, how could they possibly be that strong?"
"Bro, you're outdated. The twenty-four prodigies of the Divine Tycoon Civilization all perished in an artifact in Rosy Clouds Valley!"
"What, there's such a thing?"
"That's right, I heard they got some kind of treasures in that artifact and then brought upon themselves the pursuit of the Artifact Guardian, eventually getting swallowed by the shattered space along with the entire artifact!"
"Tsk tsk tsk, who would have thought the people of the Divine Tycoon Civilization would end up like that!"
"Fighting hundreds of thousands with just twenty-four people, even if they did perish, they would absolutely become a legend!"
...
Floating in a pitch-black space, Fang Jueyu almost lost consciousness.
"Ding!" At this moment, a voice woke him from his slumber. "Congratulations to the host for completing the third-stage permission task. Third-stage permissions are being unlocked..."
