Chapter 351 Treasures and Prisoners
In the earth-shattering explosion, a massive crater spanning hundreds of millions of kilometers and unfathomably deep was created on the entire land, and everything in the original location of the ruins had long since been reduced to ashes and vanished into nothingness.
In an inconspicuous place, a palm-sized, white jade-like gourd swayed with the impact.
At this moment, the outside world had vanished, the sky had disappeared, but the inside of the Gourd of Light was completely calm.
"I never expected the ruins to explode so suddenly. It's true that you can always encounter danger when you're out in the outside world." Suk was also extremely shocked by the scene of chaos outside. The power was truly terrifying.
Under the white light, hundreds and thousands of kings were instantly reduced to ashes.
The immense power of the explosion could not leave a single mark on the surface of the Youguang Gourd.
Although Suk, who was hiding inside, was unable to control the gourd to maintain stability amidst the shockwaves, he was completely unaffected by the blast and was perfectly safe.
He couldn't help but feel secretly relieved, "Luckily, I realized what was happening."
If he hadn't taken refuge in the Radiant Gourd in time and used this precious flying palace treasure to defend himself, he would likely have been in grave danger even with the "Death Star Vine" attached to him.
However, with the palace and its treasures intact, they remained unharmed.
Those who were granted the title of king were not so lucky; countless of them were killed in the bombings.
"No wonder everyone says that palace treasures are the best in terms of defense. Like soul treasures, they are much more precious than other treasures. Even ordinary universe venerables crave them but cannot obtain them," Suk thought to himself.
With this treasure, his ability to protect himself has indeed been greatly enhanced, but with his current skills, he is not yet able to truly control this Radiant Gourd.
The value of the Youguang gourd is too high, so I dare not easily expose it to outsiders.
Even if it is used, no one should know that it is a palace treasure, otherwise it will cause trouble.
"With such immense power, even a peak-level King might be killed. Most of the Kings outside should be dead by now." A thought struck Su Ke: if the Kings are dead, doesn't that mean their treasures...
Suk immediately became excited.
treasure!
This is a four-figure title of king; how vast must the wealth they left behind be?
"I need to get out of here quickly while the explosion clears out the nearby Kings, otherwise these treasures will be fiercely fought over once the other Kings arrive."
Suk was really anxious; time was money.
Whoosh, the aftershocks of the explosion still echoed through the heavens and earth, when a black figure suddenly appeared beside an inconspicuous white jade gourd.
As soon as Suk came out, he looked around at his surroundings. Because he was still in the midst of the intense shock of the explosion, the space had been blasted open with huge gaps that were slowly closing, so the area he could observe was limited.
However, Suk also sensed that the area affected by the explosion was quite large.
"Down below." Suk looked at the location of the Ice River Ruins. Because most of the kings had entered the ruins and were relatively concentrated, the area near the ruins was where the most treasures were left after the explosion destroyed everything.
At the same time, Suk's gaze remained calm, his brain working at an astonishing speed. "The big explosion has just passed. Although the chances of a King surviving such an explosion are slim, it's not impossible if someone has special means of survival. Moreover, news of the Ice River Ruins will attract more Kings to come here in droves. I don't have much time left. I must loot as many treasures as possible before others discover what's going on here."
What method can collect treasures as quickly as possible?
With a thought, Suk released Eloi's myriad star clones. "Suk." The enormous blue monster looked at Suk; she already understood what had happened.
Eloi then activated her world projection.
Boom! The projection of the world spread out, reaching hundreds of millions of kilometers. Many peak human world masters' inner worlds are only close to 100,000 kilometers. The sheer size of Eloi and Suk's inner worlds allowed their world projections to spread to an astonishing extent.
The areas where the world's projection is diffused are the areas they control.
Within this range, even a speck of dust is under control; whatever it is, everything is crystal clear.
"Suk, there are still people alive," Eloi transmitted to Suk.
Suk immediately looked toward that location, a cold glint in his eyes. Since the virtual universe army coordinates didn't indicate anyone was there, it proved to be the enemy.
"Leave the people to me, you go and collect the treasures first." After saying that, Suk disappeared into thin air.
Teleportation.
Upon seeing Suk disappear, Eloi, knowing that time was of the essence, did not hesitate. She unleashed the power of the world, using it to touch and absorb all the treasures she had discovered within the world projection area into her inner world.
In a corner of the blast zone, inside a translucent, prismatic crystal tower riddled with cracks, there was a figure.
"How could this be?!" The voice was filled with grief and indignation!
Elena was heartbroken. She was a member of the Zerg Alliance and had rushed over excitedly after receiving news of the appearance of the Ice Age Ruins. Who knew that she would find herself in dire straits as soon as she moved out! She was swept in in an instant, and there was no time to teleport.
Fortunately, she was carrying a powerful defensive artifact, which she managed to hide inside in time. Under the protection of the crystal tower, she survived.
Even though she wasn't within the strongest blast radius, her divine body was still instantly and completely shattered, and even part of her immortal divine body was completely annihilated!
The divine body has suffered a loss of more than 50%!
It's important to understand that while the initial loss of a divine body doesn't significantly impact one's strength, the impact becomes increasingly astonishing and absurd over time.
Losses of less than 10% have almost no impact on strength, and recovery is quick.
With a 30% loss, our strength is reduced to only 50%.
With a 50% loss, our strength is reduced to only 10%.
With a 70% loss, their strength is probably less than one percent.
Having lost 90%, it has fallen into a deep sleep, even losing consciousness. In the long sleep, it may slowly repair itself, or it may slowly deplete until it perishes. In any case, at this point, it is powerless to resist!
"My current strength is probably not even comparable to some high-ranking kings." Elena's heart bled. She didn't know why she was so unlucky and had inexplicably encountered such a disaster. Moreover, judging from the fact that her crystal tower was about to shatter, it was clear that it had just suffered great losses and had been destroyed to this extent, with its defensive capabilities almost completely lost.
This was her most precious possession, and the loss of it nearly made Elena vomit blood.
Elena was secretly relieved that at least she had survived, unlike the others who had perished in the explosion.
At that moment, Elena saw the world projection appear. "World projection? There's a world lord here?" Elena was shocked.
With a whoosh, just as Elena was in surprise, the space suddenly trembled, and a figure appeared out of thin air behind her, a sharp blade of light slashing down at her with lightning speed.
"Boom!!!" The crystal tower, which was already on the verge of its limit, shattered completely under the powerful attack, and Elena's astonished expression was reflected in the countless flying crystal fragments.
With a soft thud, the sword shattered the pagoda that Elena had once been so proud of, striking the divine body that Elena had just formed.
*Boom!* Elena's divine body exploded.
Looking at the immortal divine body that was about to take shape, Suk remained expressionless. He had switched to another battle sword in his hand, a sword with a faint red glow on its blade, and gently slashed across Elena's divine body, which was not yet fully formed.
The fimo venom on the battle blade immediately seeped in, frantically corroding Elena's divine body. While fimo venom might be troublesome to corrode the immortal divine body of a King-level expert, it was easy to corrode the peak King-level expert, especially an immortal divine body that had lost more than 50%.
Elena's divine body was not yet fully formed when she discovered that it was being frantically eroded by a force, leaving her completely bewildered.
The venom instantly merged into the fragments within her body, spreading to every fragment of her divine form and corroding every living substance.
Elena's eyes dimmed, her consciousness vanished instantly, and she lost the ability to resist.
One gram of Femoro venom is enough to kill a peak-level King-level expert.
However, because Femore's venom is solidified on weapons, in battles at the King level, the collision of weapons and the shattering of space are far more powerful than a star explosion. Such collisions will naturally cause some damage to the venom on the weapons.
That's why he first used a weapon to shatter Elena's divine body, leaving her powerless to resist, before using a battle blade truly imbued with Femor's venom to slice through her divine body.
In this way, the opponent has neither armor nor weapons to resist, and the Femor Venom suffers no damage.
However, the amount of Femo venom that had seeped in was probably less than 0.2 grams, which is why Elena survived by sheer luck. But after being corroded, her divine body has now lost less than 10% of its health!
If the divine body is reduced to only 10%, it will surely fall into a deep sleep!
This was also Suk's intention. He sensed that the king was seriously injured, so when he attacked, he deliberately moved lightly, trying to corrode the opponent with only a small amount of Femoro venom.
Suk succeeded! He directly killed a severely injured peak-level King-level expert, sending him into a deep sleep!
"Collect." Seeing that the other party was already asleep, Suk directly put the sleeping Elena into a separate world ring, and then teleported in another direction.
A cold light flashed in Suk's eyes.
The explosion nearly wiped out all the kings, but some were lucky or had strong survival skills.
Suk's goal is to eliminate these things that might hinder his existence.
Moreover, after the massive explosion, even the surviving kings were severely injured!
Even Elena, at the peak of her divine body and possessing powerful life-saving measures, suffered more than 50% loss in the outer perimeter of the explosion, let alone the others.
While Suk was hunting, Eloi was also doing her best to loot treasures from all directions. Under the impact of the previous earth-shattering explosion, some powerful people's "world rings" were broken, releasing a large number of treasures. Many treasures were also damaged, and even more valuable treasures were blasted away in all directions.
"So many treasures!" Eloi's eyes lit up with excitement.
We've struck it rich! The treasures of thousands of kings! It's just like an ordinary person would get excited if they saw a huge amount of gold and silver jewels rolling around in the street and scattered all over the place.
"I'll take it." The power of the world spread out, and once a treasure was found within the range of the power of the world, it was immediately enveloped and taken into the inner world, and then placed into a separate world ring. The reason for this was to prevent some treasures from carrying threats.
Now, Eloi can't examine and distinguish the treasures carefully, so she can only try to put them away first.
Fortunately, almost all the kings present were dead, and few survived. There were even fewer who were unharmed and acted immediately like them.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Aloy went on a treasure hunt, taking everything she could find.
Meanwhile, Suk appeared beside a king, only to be surprised to find that the king had lost consciousness.
Clearly, in the explosion just now, more than 90% of this person's divine body was annihilated, and he immediately fell into a coma.
"So unlucky?" Suk blinked, feeling like he'd just stumbled upon a corpse.
However, this area is already close to the range of the strongest explosion, and it's quite remarkable that anyone could survive within this range.
Suk examined him and found that the unconscious King's aura was at least at the peak of Kinghood, or possibly at the limit of Kinghood.
"I've struck gold!" Suk happily put the unconscious King, who in his prime might have been stronger than himself, into a separate world ring.
He then teleported to the outer area of the explosion, but this time his luck was not so good. This time, Feng Wang was also seriously injured. When Feng Wang, who was still conscious, saw Su Ke appear, he immediately roared in grief and anger. After realizing that he could not escape, he simply self-destructed.
The decisiveness of this king also caught Suk off guard, but the power of the king's self-destruction, which resulted in the loss of a large number of divine bodies, did not pose any threat to Suk.
"Yes, all targets within the blast radius have been cleared for now." Suk stood in the air, gazing at the empty surroundings.
This explosion has reduced the area, which was once a gathering place for many kings, to a point where only a handful of people have survived.
Suk then began helping Eloi collect treasures. He had teleportation abilities, and when Eloi's world projection detected treasures that were too far away to collect in time, she would simply tell Suk, who would then immediately teleport over and collect the treasures.
One uses the power of the world to scatter and plunder treasures, while the other teleports to collect them. Working together in a frenzy, they collect treasures at an astonishing speed.
"Haha, that was great, so great!" Su Ke was overjoyed; this was an unprecedentedly bountiful harvest.
With so many powerful kings, even with his Death Star Vine, it would be impossible for him to achieve such a terrifying record in a face-to-face battle.
He finally realized that sometimes it's not about how strong you are; as long as you survive to the end, that's the biggest winner.
"Strength is important, but luck and opportunity are also very important," Suk thought to himself.
Just like Eloi's teacher, whose strength was only at the peak of the Marquis level back then, but he got lucky and made a great harvest during an adventure, and his wealth immediately became comparable to the accumulation of a king's entire life!
As the couple looted, the seeds of their downfall were already sown, and the path to becoming king was already on the verge of exploding.
A king with the ability to teleport brought the other kings together and teleported them over.
And it appeared right at the edge of the explosion.
When they saw the vast land torn apart by canyons and the endless, enormous craters, they couldn't help but show expressions of utter shock.
"What exactly is going on?"
