2199 Devata Artifac

Naturally, Elder Huo who was in the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda had heard Duan Ling Tian’s words. However, he did not reply since he had discovered the existence of the huge figure in the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda. Duan Ling Tian seemed unaware that an intruder had entered the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda.

“W-Who are you?!” Elder Huo’s eyes had widened as though he had just seen a ghost when he saw the huge figure that had appeared out of thin air.

The huge figure belonged to a young man who was dressed in a long blood-red robe. He was tall. He had dashing brows and bright eyes. His handsome face was so pale that it seemed as though it was devoid of blood. There was a red sword-shaped mark in between his brows. It emitted a powerful and destructive aura. As the red-clad young man stood there, blood-red sword images revolved around him erratically. Similar to the red sword-shaped mark, it emitted a powerful and destructive aura. It made him look like a Sword God who had just walked out of the Nine Serenities Hell.

The red-clad young man stood motionlessly in his spot. He did not make a move, but his aura alone was enough to pressure Elder Huo.

Currently, Elder Huo’s strength had been restored to the stage of a Celestial. He was even stronger than an Eminent Celestial who had survived the Heaven Tribulation. However, when faced with the red-clad young man, fear began to rise in his heart. He was about to cave under the pressure the red-clad young man emitted when…

“If I’m not mistaken… This is the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda from the Jade Emperor Heaven, right?” The red- clad young man finally said at a neither hurried nor slow speed.

Jade Emperor Heaven?

Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda?

Elder Huo’s eyes widened in horror when he heard the red-clad young man’s words. He began to feel uneasy.

Who was this red-clad young man? Not only did he recognize the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda, but he even knew the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda came from one of the Devata realms, the Jade Emperor Heaven!

Among the countless mundane realms, there were 81 Devata realms similar to the Jade Emperor Heaven! However, the red-clad young man could tell which Devata realm the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda came from! How could Elder Huo not feel shocked?

H-He must be a powerhouse from a Devata realm!’ Elder Huo could faintly guess the red-clad young man’s origin. He was either from the Jade Emperor Heaven or another Devata realm since he knew about the Celestial Supreme Treasure, the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda.

Although the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda could be considered as a top Celestial Supreme Treasure, it was not the most powerful Celestial Supreme Treasures in the Jade Emperor Heaven. It might be extraordinary in the Jade Emperor Heaven, but it was not the case in the other Devata realms. For this reason, the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda was famous in the Jade Emperor Heaven, but it was not the case in the other Devata realms.

Elder Huo was still in shock when the red-clad young man began to list the treasures contained in the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda. “It’s said that the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda has a treasure in each of the seven levels of the pagoda. The first level has the Three-legged Golden Crow, the second level has the Jasper Celestial Sword, the third level has the Astonishing God Halberd, the fourth level has the Universe Ruler, the fifth level has the…”

After the red-clad young man finished listing out the treasures in the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda, he asked, “If I’m not mistaken, you’re the Three-legged Crow that lives in the pagoda, right?”

Although no emotions could be seen in the red-clad young man’s eyes, Elder Huo still felt extremely pressured when the red-clad young man looked at him.

Elder Huo took a deep breath and mustered all his courage before he replied, “Yes, Lord.” A hint of reverence and fear could be heard in his voice. He knew the red-clad young man was strong. The red-clad young man was even stronger than him at his peak. He could faintly feel the oppressive aura the red-clad young man emitted.

This aura seems familiar… However, it’s much more powerful than the aura I encountered previously!’ Elder Huo thought to himself as he tried to place where he had felt this aura before. When realization dawned on him, his eyes widened in shock and horror when he looked at the red-clad young man.

Elder Huo said in a trembling voice, “L-Lord, y-you’re a Devata Ar…”

The red-clad young man interrupted Elder Huo. “It seems like you’ve figured out who I am.” A hint of surprise could be heard in his voice. It was obvious he did not think Elder Huo would be able to guess his identity so quickly.

“That’s right. I’m the soul of a Devata Artifact!” The red-clad young man said bluntly.

Soul of a Devata Artifact!

Although Elder Huo had already guessed the identity of the red-clad young man, he still trembled in fear when he heard the red-clad young man confirming his guess. The confusion in his heart vanished immediately. Initially, he was still puzzled by how the red-clad young man had entered the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda without its owner’s permission. How did the red-clad young man enter wdthout alerting its owner? Why did the red-clad young man’s aura feel so oppressive? He finally understood. The red-clad young man was the soul of a Devata Artifact. He was stronger than the extraneous souls of Celestial Supreme Treasures! This was why Elder Huo, who was an extraneous soul of a Celestial Supreme Treasure, the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda, feared and was overpowered by the red-clad young man.

It was easy for the red-clad young man to enter the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda since he was the natural soul of a Devata Artifact. Let alone entering the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda without alerting its owner, it would be easy for him to remove the ownership claim on the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda if he wanted to.

A Devata Artifact was a powerful existence among all Celestial Supreme Treasures in the Devata realms. It was stronger than any Celestial Supreme Treasure!

There’s only one Devata Artifact in the Jade Emperor Heaven, and it’s in the possession of Gautama Buddha… Previously, when Monkey Sun wrecked the Heavenly Palace, Gautama Buddha had relied on the power of a Devata Artifact to defeat him!’ Elder Huo knew about this incident very well.

Monkey Sun possessed peerless strength in the Jade Emperor Heaven. The Celestial Supreme Treasure, the Auspicious Golden Hoop Staff, in his possession was also one of the most powerful Celestial Supreme Treasures in the Jade Emperor Heaven! With his strength and Celestial Supreme Treasure, the Auspicious Golden Hoop Staff, he could have done as he pleased in the Jade Emperor Heaven if Gautama Buddha did not intervene.

The Devata Artifact in Gautama Buddha’s possession is called the 10,000 Gods Celestial Imprisoning Mark. The soul of the 10,000 Gods Celestial Imprisoning Mark was looking for Ran Deng, the first owner of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda, on Gautama Buddha’s order. Coincidentally, I’m in the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda at that time. That’s why the red-clad young man’s aura feels familiar. However, this red-clad man’s aura is several times stronger than the soul of the 10,000 Gods Celestial Imprisoning Mark. This means the red-clad young man is the soul of a Devata Artifact that’s even more powerful than 10,000 Gods Celestial Imprisoning Mark!’ Fear rose in Elder Huo’s heart when he thought about this.

After all, Elder Huo was no match for the natural soul of the 10,000 Gods Celestial Imprisoning Mark even when he was at the peak of his strength. How could he be a match for the natural soul of a Devata Artifact that was much more powerful than the 10,000 Gods Celestial Imprisoning Mark?

“L-Lord, h-how should I address you?” Elder Huo asked respectfully as he trembled in fear. He tried to slow his breathing. He knew that the natural souls of Devata Artifacts from Devata realms had their own names since they were sentient and could take the forms of humans.

For example, the name of the soul of the 10,000 Gods Celestial Imprisoning Mark that was in Gautama Buddha’s possession was famous in the Jade Emperor Heaven and the other Devata Realms.

The red-clad young man raised his head arrogantly as he said in a nonchalant manner, “Kuang Ling!”

Kuang Ling… Kuang Ling… Kuang Ling? The Sword Soul, Kuang Ling?’ Elder Huo thought to himself for a moment before he froze. Then, his expression changed to one of disbelief and bewilderment.

Sword Soul Kuang Ling!

Elder Huo had thought the name sounded familiar. As he thought deeper about it, he suddenly recalled the name.

Sword Soul Kuang Ling? Isn’t that the name of the natural soul of the Devata Artifact in the Solitary Destructive Heaven? That Devata Artifact is called the Solitary Destructive Flaming Heavenly Sword. It’s the strongest sword-type Devata Artifact in all Devata realms!’
