Chapter 605: Chapter 288: Artifact Spirit
The creature before him was clad in heavy armor, with sharp spikes covering the armor plates. There was no body in the gaps, only vague black mist connecting them. Under the helmet of obliteration, two ghostly green flames were visible.
"Is this an Old Remains?"
After summoning it, a piece of information entered Chu Xiu’s mind, giving him a rough understanding of its usage. Although this creature could enter the old days, it was not intelligent. The method to find items was for the Awakened to describe the appearance and characteristics of the desired item with words or thoughts, then send it to search, much like a hound tracking prey.
Due to this simple method, the success rate was very low and it frequently brought back similar but incorrect items.
However, the higher the tier of the Old Remains, the stronger and more intelligent it was. The elite level Old Remains that Chu Xiu summoned now had intelligence comparable to a smart Border Collie.
After some thought, Chu Xiu took out a fragment of Aurora’s soul. The Old Remains received it, sniffed it carefully, and then dispersed into black mist, disappearing.
Subsequently, Chu Xiu released the remaining dozen or so elite level Old Remains, letting them search for Aurora’s soul. As for the leader level ones, he kept them, just in case of more pressing needs in the future.
He planned to have these creatures search for lost artifacts, inheritances, or certain materials after finding an engulfed Immortal Cultivation World.
After all, at the low tier, the materials needed to refine those artifacts were easily substituted. But the materials required for high-tier artifacts were all rare treasures, and finding suitable substitutes wasn’t easy.
After completing all this, Chu Xiu left the Awakening Space.
As the scenery before him changed, the dense forest replaced the chaotic mist, and he had returned to the Corpse Demon World.
Chu Xiu spread Garuda’s Wings, darted into the sky in a flash. This Legendary Equipment, after he ascended to the King Tier, could finally unleash its formidable power, allowing Chu Xiu’s speed to almost double compared to before! His movement speed shortcoming was greatly diminished.
Within a few breaths, he soared thousands of meters into the air, looking down, the civilization below was laid out clearly.
Five days hadn’t brought much change to the civilization, only a few more houses and slight boundary expansions.
However, this already made Chu Xiu breathe a sigh of relief. His greatest fear was some powerful creatures annihilating his civilization during those five days.
But now, once the Titan Giant Mechanism was set up, there would be no immediate worries for the civilization’s safety.
Having made up his mind, Chu Xiu pointed a finger, and the artifact was thrown out.
As a stream of light plunged into the ground, the entire earth began to tremble. The tremors were so intense that even the people working in the base plainly perceived it, and they all looked around in horror.
"Rustle, rustle, rustle!"
A dozen figures appeared in the air. Their expressions were grave as they looked towards the direction of the distant vibration.
These were all powerful Awakeners, the weakest among them being General Tier, with even two individuals having reached King Tier strength.
They were the high-tier Awakeners of this place, among them were Liang Zhan, whom Chu Xiu had rescued, a few Buddhist Elders, and Guo Ke, who had an initial awakening, as well as Guardians employed at high salaries by the government.
At this moment, these elites among humans had faces all extremely solemn.
"What terrifying spiritual power fluctuations, what on earth happened? Could there be a Blood Demon nearby?"
Mu Wu inquired.
He was one of the three Awakeners who fought alongside Chu Xiu against the Calamity, but he had fled first in the end.
Although he returned to this place with a high salary from the government, if there was indeed a Blood Demon, he would undoubtedly turn and flee immediately.
"No, it’s not a Blood Demon, the aura is distinctly different," another King Tier said.
This person’s name was Sun Huai’an, a Guardian specially recruited after Vengeance, with strength not inferior to Qin Xiang, he was a top tier King Tier.
Hearing this, Mu Wu relaxed slightly, turning to Guo Ke, "Quick, check what’s up with your radar. The radar station you have nearby cost 16.8 billion Huaxia Coins to build. With such a big commotion, there should be some discovery, right?"
As Mu Wu’s voice fell, everyone else looked towards Guo Ke.
The woman, however, lowered her head without speaking, as if sensing something. After a moment, an astonished look flashed in her dark eyes, as if she had seen something utterly unbelievable.
"What exactly did you see?" Someone couldn’t help urging.
"I saw... something unimaginably large is rising from the ground."
"Unimaginably large?" Everyone’s face changed drastically, "Is it some kind of monster?"
"From the shape... it looks more like a mountain peak."
"A mountain peak?" Everyone was dumbfounded.
A mountain rising from the earth?
Even though they were all well-informed Awakeners, they had never heard of such an unbelievable event.
Some even suspected the radar might be malfunctioning, but just a few seconds later, those doubts vanished.
For under their shocked gaze, the distant tremors grew even more intense, as a pointed tip broke through the earth, then rapidly expanded. Before long, hundreds of meters of ground were uplifted, and the affected area was still expanding!
And the thing that rose up was indeed a mountain peak, an astonishingly huge one!
