The remaining treasures were mostly ordinary melee weapons, with a few ranged attack implements and mental power treasures scattered among them.
Domain-type, palace-type, and soul-type Arcana were conspicuously absent.
Han Jue would need to visit the treasure repository later and select a top-tier soul treasure to send to his main body. Additionally, he'd prepared several treasures for Han Huan, Han Xi, and Lei Shen, gifts they'd earned through their dedication.
As for the ordinary treasures, Han Jue took only what he needed. The collection numbered in the tens of thousands, the complete accumulation of a peak-level clan spanning countless eons. Taking everything would be excessive and wasteful. He selected only the resources most useful for his own cultivation path.
"Master, this is the seventeenth level of Lotus Ancient City," Lian explained, gesturing to the space ahead. "The inheritances of the Universe Masters and Lotus God are stored here."
Han Jue nodded, glancing at the space containing various inheritances. He chose not to enter.
Accepting those inheritances would consume significant time, time he didn't have.
Through the virtual universe, Han Jue had monitored the situation developing outside. The Lotus Continent had descended into complete chaos because of his actions. Countless powerful figures were converging on this location, and even invincible Kings from other battlefields were rushing to join the fray. If this continued much longer, a Universe Venerable might very well appear.
He needed to leave this place as soon as possible.
Turning to Lian, Han Jue asked, "I'm afraid I can't take Lotus Ancient City away right now. Do you have a way to leave with me?"
Lian paused, considering the question carefully before responding. "Master, you've fused with the core of Lotus Ancient City. I can appear anywhere the core exists, and you can also teleport back to Lotus Ancient City at any time through your connection to the core. Unless a Universe Master seals the surrounding spacetime, there's no way to prevent this teleportation."
"That's good." Han Jue nodded in satisfaction.
It was time to leave the extraterritorial battlefield!
He wondered how Han Huan and Han Xi were faring. Were they still on the outer battlefield?
Extraterritorial Battlefield, Lotus Continent
"King Ghost Sword, King Jade Qin!"
In a remote corner of the Lotus Continent, within a secluded valley, a voice roared in frustration.
"Silver Dragon King, you, a peak-level King, dare to attack us two beginner-level Kings, and you still couldn't defeat us?" Han Xi mocked, her voice dripping with contempt. "Have you no shame?"
After three thousand years of rigorous training, both Han Huan and Han Xi had earned considerable reputations across the extraterritorial battlefields. Their combat power had reached levels comparable to beginner-level Kings!
When fighting together, even advanced-level Kings would suffer severe injuries. Han Huan's individual strength already approached that of an advanced-level King.
The Silver Dragon King of the demon race had attacked them, attempting to seize their treasures. Instead, they'd injured him severely, which only fueled his rage.
"You two are only relying on your treasures," the Silver Dragon King sneered. "If you face a true expert, those treasures won't protect you forever!"
He glanced behind him and shouted, "Poison King, it's time for you to act!"
The next moment, a figure materialized in the valley!
The figure was covered in snake scales, bluish-green in color, with countless ring-like patterns adorning the dense scales. Six wings made of fascia and flesh extended from its back, and a single black-pupiled eye glared at them with predatory intensity.
This was none other than the true form of the demon race's royal family, Ziqian Wanshe, the Poison King Longdu!
Poison King Longdu had been killed by Han Jue in Lotus Ancient City three thousand years ago, but the demon race's Universe Master had resurrected him. Now he'd returned to the extraterritorial battlefield, though without his previous treasures, he could no longer maintain his former position at the limit of the King realm. He was now merely one of the stronger peak Kings, still significantly more powerful than the Silver Dragon King, who barely qualified as peak-level.
"Poison King Longdu!" Han Huan said coldly, gripping his silver-gray longsword more tightly.
This opponent would be difficult to handle!
Han Xi's expression grew solemn as she held her jade zither, ready to act at a moment's notice.
"I heard you two are geniuses of the human race? And you're from the same family as that Han Jue?" Poison King Longdu laughed arrogantly. "You're both just World Masters, aren't you?"
Han Huan and Han Xi's expressions changed drastically.
Oh no!
The treasures they possessed could only barely conceal their auras. Against Universe Venerables, or even some extremely powerful Immortal Kings, their true cultivation levels would be immediately exposed. For years, they'd carefully frequented only the edges of the Lotus Continent, precisely to avoid such situations.
Who could have imagined they'd encounter Poison King Longdu here!
Although Poison King Longdu no longer possessed the strength of a limit-level King, he was still considered powerful among peak Kings, and his discerning eyes remained sharp. He'd immediately recognized that both of them were merely World Masters!
"They're World Masters?" the Silver Dragon King exclaimed in disbelief.
So he'd been injured by two World Masters?
The Silver Dragon King found this fact impossible to accept.
Poison King Longdu ignored him and attacked Han Huan and Han Xi directly!
Whoosh!
In an instant, Han Huan clashed with Poison King Longdu dozens, even hundreds, of times. His top-tier treasure longsword successfully blocked the Poison King's assault.
Poison King Longdu retreated a step, realizing he couldn't easily defeat Han Huan with his current strength.
"A top-tier treasure?" Poison King Longdu frowned, eyeing the longsword in Han Huan's hand.
Then he roared at the Silver Dragon King behind him, "Attack together! After this, the jade zither is yours."
The Silver Dragon King's face lit up, he didn't possess any treasures of his own. He quickly revealed his massive true form and joined the assault!
BOOM!
A jet-black spear descended from the sky, instantly obliterating a portion of Poison King Longdu's divine body!
Immediately afterward, thunder roared across the valley, helping Han Huan repel the Silver Dragon King.
Two figures appeared in the valley.
"Uncle Hong! Uncle Lei Shen!" Han Xi exclaimed happily.
"Illusion King, Thunder King!" Poison King Longdu's expression darkened momentarily before transforming into a ferocious smile.
"The demon race's higher-ups already knew your identities. Did you think I didn't know you two had been hiding nearby?" He laughed coldly. "Serpent Neck King, Water Lion King, act now!"
BOOM! BOOM!
Two overwhelming auras erupted into existence!
These were true invincible Kings!
Faced with the convergence of these two auras, all four of them, Hong, Lei Shen, Han Huan, and Han Xi, nearly collapsed to their knees under the oppressive pressure.
"Hmm?"
Han Jue, who had just left Lotus Ancient City and was heading toward Han Huan and Han Xi's location, frowned upon sensing this development. He instantly neutralized the oppressive force with a thought, then unleashed his domain upon the Serpent Neck King and Water Lion King.
Ten Directions Lotus Sea!
"Star Sea King?" Both the Serpent Neck King and Water Lion King's expressions changed dramatically.
Although Wind Nightmare King had been too ashamed to share the full details, they roughly understood how terrifying Han Jue's combat power was, he'd nearly forced Wind Nightmare King to self-destruct!
The two of them, lacking Wind Nightmare King's legendary speed, would definitely be unable to escape the Star Sea's range. They probably wouldn't even be able to self-destruct before being killed.
"Dad!" Han Xi exclaimed excitedly.
"Dad? Han Jue? The Star Sea King is the human genius Han Jue?" Serpent Neck King's eyes widened in disbelief.
Han Jue helplessly lowered his head.
His identity had finally been exposed.
And in such an unexpected way.
