Chapter 290 Bronze Fragments, Ten Fierce Treasure Techniques (Seeking monthly votes! Seeking follow-up subscriptions!)

The desolate land, the Stone Kingdom.

A temple glowed, as if built of pieces of gold, bathed in the glow of the sunset, sacred beyond compare. It was located in the deepest part of the Rain Clan, where light rained down.

This is a sacred place for the Rain Clan in the real world. The image of the Rain God is enshrined here, and a peaceful aura permeates the air. Normally, no one is allowed to approach it. Only matters of great importance concerning the honor and disgrace of the Rain Clan are permitted to come here.

At this very moment, inside the temple, a group of elderly men knelt before a stone statue, their expressions solemn and dignified, offering prayers and sacrifices, showing the utmost respect to the statue of their ancestral spirits.

Snap! Snap!
Suddenly, a crisp sound rang out in the temple. Everyone was startled and looked up to see a crack burst open on the statue of the rain god, from which shimmering light emanated, like the blood of a god.

"This! How is this possible! What on earth happened?!"

An old man kneeling on the ground cried out, his face filled with fear and disbelief. He couldn't understand why the stone statue of his ancestral god was damaged. Could it be that something had happened in the realm of the gods?

Just then, someone rushed in from outside. A stunningly beautiful young woman stumbled into the temple, and before she could even bow, she cried out in panic, "Grand Uncle! Something terrible has happened! I've lost my connection to the divine decree; it seems... it's been taken away!"

"puff--"

……

"puff--"

The Realm of the Gods, a blessed land for the Rain Clan.

The moment the decree was refined, the Rain Clan cultivator, who had almost exhausted his own essence, suddenly coughed up blood and was sent flying backward as if struck by a heavy blow, crashing heavily into a pile of ruins and being buried by the rubble.

The remaining members of the Rain Clan, as well as the powerful figures from the Martial King's Mansion and Demon Spirit Lake, were horrified upon seeing this. They then made a decisive move, activating the teleportation array beneath their feet in an attempt to retreat back into the Inscription Realm.

"Want to leave? Did you ask me first?!"

The illusory Bagua and Qimen formation instantly expanded, spreading to the entire blessed land. Under the enhanced version of the rune-enhanced Chaotic Golden Tuo, all changes here came to a standstill, with only Wu Xian able to move.

Wu Xian narrowed his eyes slightly, raised his hand and summoned the array base plate that originally belonged to the middle-aged man of the Martial King's Mansion. Instantly, it fell into his hands.

Immediately afterwards, the power of divine manipulation was activated, forcibly erasing the spiritual imprint on it and transforming it into the shape of Wu Xian.

Soon, after figuring out the principles of the formation, Wu Xian easily activated it, transforming it into a large formation that merged with the Feng Hou Qi Men formation. This allowed the formation's binding power to envelop the entire blessed land, while also breaking the Luan Jin Tuo technique.

Time returned to normal, and everyone swayed, their expressions somewhat dazed, as if they had forgotten something.

However, the faces of the many powerful figures who wanted to escape soon turned grim, because they discovered that the teleportation array beneath their feet was malfunctioning, and even their mental will was imprisoned, making it impossible for them to leave the Rain Clan's blessed land.

"My formation!"

The middle-aged man from the Wu King's Mansion exclaimed in surprise, finally realizing the familiarity of the surrounding array. Looking at the array plate in Wu Xian's hand, he immediately understood what was going on.

"give me back!"

The middle-aged man panicked. That was one of the foundations of the Martial King's Mansion. Although the array plate itself was still in reality, if someone were to comprehend the secrets of the array, his fate as the person who lost the array plate would be extremely tragic.

"Silly beep!"

Wu Xian sneered, raised the Rain God's decree in his hand, and with a thought, the ancient character "伐" on it flashed again, transforming into a golden spear. He then raised it high above his head and threw it forcefully.

The golden spear tore through the void like scissors cutting through cloth, drawing back a golden curtain wherever it passed, engulfing everything with unstoppable force. It was more than ten times more powerful than the spear that the Rain Clan cultivator had used earlier.

Upon seeing this, the cultivators from the Martial King's Mansion, the Rain Clan, and the Demon Spirit Lake were all horrified and hurriedly erected defenses in an attempt to block the attack. However, the overwhelming golden light barrier pressed down, and their resistance was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot—utterly annihilated. Before they could even utter a sound, they were already gone.

It was not just a matter of spirit and will; the attack, unleashed by divine decree, carried the power of laws. How could mortal beings possibly withstand it? All those who died from that attack, along with their physical bodies, were completely annihilated.

Inside Dongtian City, the various forces that were using secret methods to spy on the situation were terrified, as if they could see their own future. They secretly prayed that the Blood Hand Demon Child would not come to their territory and go berserk, otherwise, with that terrifying fighting power, who could withstand it?

"This boy's combat power is stronger than I imagined. Even the power of a god cannot shake him in the slightest. Just how far has he gone in the Cave Heaven Realm?"

Someone sighed, their gaze towards Wu Xian through the secret technique incredibly complex.

"This combat power is absolutely abnormal. Even the most extraordinary geniuses of the Nine Heavens wouldn't be this exaggerated!"

An old man from an ancient sacred mountain said this with certainty, because his clan had a prodigy who had opened the Nine Heavens Cave, a realm only found in ancient books, but which was worlds apart from the Demon Child.

"Could it be the Ten Heavenly Caves?"

A powerful figure from a major force murmured, thinking it was quite possible.

"The legendary forbidden realm? It is said to be a realm that should not exist. Even the Ten Ancient Ferocious Ones may not be able to reach it. Only the strongest True Dragon Cub has absolute confidence in achieving it."

"If that's true, then this demon child would be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with the Ten Fierce Ones of the same age!"

"This is terrifying! What is his background? Could he really be one of the Ten Fiends in human form?!"

At this moment, people in the Void God Realm and even those outside who had heard the news were discussing it, speculating about Wu Xian's identity and background and whether he had really opened the ten cave heavens, gradually forming a craze.

Just then, a strange object flickered in the sky above the Rain Clan's blessed land. It was as if the heavens had heard their discussions, and a ball of light descended, appearing in front of Wu Xian.

At the same time, a stone tablet rose up, with crystal-clear characters on it, shimmering with rosy light. This was the record tablet of the Void God Realm.

[Subdued the divine decree, unparalleled combat power, reward: two bronze fragments.]

Seeing this, everyone was first surprised, then felt it was only natural. After all, it would be strange if the Void God Realm didn't reward those who had defeated the divine decree!

"Wait! Those two bronze fragments!"

The powerful figure suddenly realized what was happening and stared intently at the two bronze pieces through the magic weapon, his breathing becoming heavy.

"The highest reward in the legendary Void God Realm is said to be the ability to obtain a peerless treasure technique by collecting all ten bronze fragments. Some speculate that it may be the complete Ten Ferocious Treasure Techniques!"

"The Void God Realm actually offered such a reward. Is this the true value of defeating a god?"

"The complete Ten Ferocious Treasures Techniques—what an incredible opportunity this is..."

"But they are now in the hands of the Demon Child. His combat power is too terrifying. We cannot possibly snatch these two fragments from him."

"What's there to be afraid of? He's only invincible at the Cave Heaven Realm. He might not be so powerful when he enters a higher realm. If we make thorough preparations and attack him together, we might just succeed!"

"It makes sense!"
