Chapter 721: Mutual Destruction, Sword Spirit's Anomaly
Stepping onto the flat ground at the end, both their gazes were instantly drawn.
In the center of the ground lay a wooden table with two items quietly resting on it—a piece of bronze fragment and a tattered scroll.
These two items appeared ordinary, devoid of any supernatural aura.
Yet, the eyes of Liu Yu and Dou Wuyou were completely captivated, especially focused on the tattered scroll.
Divine object self-concealing!
Unconsciously, both thought of this phrase.
"After the ancient great war, the 'Zhou Tian Star Chart' has been lost without a trace; could this item be...?"
Staring at the tattered scroll, Liu Yu flashed this thought, and his heart couldn't help but blaze with excitement.
After all, the Zhou Tian Star Chart was second only to the spiritual treasures; if he could obtain it, the benefits would be immeasurable!
Although Dou Wuyou was a newcomer and hadn't heard the conversation before entering the 'Purple Ghost Lotus Heritage Estate,' as a cultivator from one of the three sacred lands, there were knowledgeable people in the team, and he connected it to the "Thirty-Six Star Lords of the Heavenly Court."
At this moment, seeing the tattered scroll, he naturally first thought of that aspect.
Just a step away from becoming a spiritual treasure!
Looking at the tattered scroll, Dou Wuyou's breathing became heavy, and the greed in his heart to possess it was almost uncontrollable.
Once he got the treasure, he certainly had no intention of handing it over to his sect—his first thought was to keep it for himself.
If he could gain the assistance of such a treasure, any future promotion would allow him to sweep through his peers, and the immortal path would be a smooth one.
Because of this, murderous intent surged in his heart!
Various thoughts flickered through his mind, but it was only for a moment before Dou Wuyou quickly shifted his gaze.
"As long as I deal with this person, both treasures can be mine."
Upon stepping onto the flat ground, all the demonic plants ceased their attacks in unison, so Dou Wuyou no longer had any worries.
In the next moment, he turned his ink-colored great halberd, channeling all his strength to slash towards Liu Yu's back.
"Whoosh~"
The ink-colored great halberd shimmered brilliantly, exuding an astounding power, and even golden core cultivators would feel a sense of dread from the might of Dou Wuyou's full-powered strike.
Though the treasure was good, he still had to deal with his only competitor. Liu Yu also harbored murderous intentions and remained vigilant against this person.
The moment Dou Wuyou launched his attack, Liu Yu had already reacted.
He swiftly formed hand seals and controlled the magical treasure “Purple Ghost Lotus” to block the descending halberd blade.
He poured his magical power into it without reservation, and this treasure instantly expanded to a size of thirty feet.
At the same time, the muscles in Liu Yu's right arm bulged as he activated the power of the Falling Gold Rainbow Spear to its fullest, swiftly stabbing backward.
The counter spear!
A hint of cold light arrived first, followed by the spear shooting out like a dragon!
An overwhelming spiritual pressure beyond the limits of the golden core enveloped the entire flat ground. Fortunately, due to the arrangement of the cave master, the spiritual pressure did not dissipate outward.
Facing the formidable saint son of the demon sect, Liu Yu dared not hold back at all; the moment he made his move, he exerted himself to the extreme.
As an "old friend" of the Dao One Saint Son, Dou Wuyou naturally recognized the life-bound magical treasure “Purple Ghost Lotus,” and he was already eighty percent sure that this person was the killer of the Dao One Saint Son.
Although his ranking on the true master chart was a few spots lower than Liu Yu's, he was undoubtedly a strong opponent, and victory would be hard-fought until the end.
Thus, facing the likely killer of the Dao One Saint Son, Dou Wuyou's heart was also extremely grave.
