Chapter 615: Chapter 615 A Mighty Realm Body
The mustached man gripped a mortar and passed me a pestle.
He gestured with his hand. "Come on, time to head out!"
I was eager to get moving, so I walked alongside the mustached man with long strides.
A few paces in, the mustached man pulled out a gleaming golden disc.
The disc bore intricate markings carved all over it, appearing both strange and mystical.
I asked, puzzled, "What’s that thing?"
The mustached man beamed with pride. "This is a sacred tool designed specifically for treasure hunting. Without this, I never would’ve found all those riches."
"A treasure-hunting sacred tool?" I rubbed my head in confusion.
"How’d you come by it?"
The mustached man said with satisfaction, "I crafted it myself. I call it the Divine Plate."
"You built it yourself?"
This caught me off guard.
This mustached guy was clearly more skilled than he let on!
"Enough chatter. Let’s move and stick close to me," the mustached man instructed.
I realized this man knew his stuff and didn’t want to push with more questions, so I stayed behind him.
The mustached man carried the mortar in one hand and the Divine Plate in the other.
He moved at a careful pace, checking the Divine Plate in his palm with every step.
Complex markings etched on the Divine Plate appeared to show various paths.
After covering several hundred paces, one of the markings on the Divine Plate suddenly blazed with light.
"There really is treasure here!" The mustached man’s eyes sparkled with excitement!
He checked the direction the Divine Plate pointed to and pulled me along as he rushed ahead.
The marking’s glow grew more intense, and when we reached a stone marker, the mustached man halted.
"Based on what the Divine Plate shows, this is the spot," the mustached man declared seriously.
I glanced around and saw nothing but the stone marker in the area.
The stone marker didn’t seem deliberately positioned, but more like debris that had emerged from the earth by chance.
The mustached man surveyed the surroundings, sniffed the soil, then moved to the stone marker for a thorough inspection.
"Destroy this stone marker," the mustached man commanded.
I agreed and immediately struck the marker with my fist, shattering it completely.
Once the stone marker was destroyed, nothing changed at the site, and no treasures emerged.
"Not the right place." The mustached man creased his brow.
He studied the ground once more and brought out some instruments, sketching various marks on the earth in different spots.
After working for quite a while, no treasures showed up.
"Odd," the mustached man rubbed his facial hair with a slight frown.
I couldn’t resist asking, "Is your Divine Plate actually dependable?"
The mustached man shot me a sharp look. "You’re questioning my skills! This Divine Plate has never failed me before!"
Then, the mustached man retrieved a sheet of paper from his pocket and began sketching on the ground.
Minutes later, the mustached man bit his finger and produced a powdery substance like ash, then scattered it over the paper.
"Om!"
The moment the ash touched down, it burst into flames!
This blue fire split into nine distinct clusters.
The mustached man observed the multiple flames, and seconds later, his expression suddenly shifted.
"Damn it!" The mustached man’s face went ghostly white, and the next instant, he dove behind me!
"What’s happening?" I asked, bewildered.
The mustached man whispered, "From my knowledge, this signals a corpse revival!"
"Corpse revival?"
I almost wanted to chuckle.
"Now I’m really questioning your skills," I said, shaking my head in exasperation.
But before I could continue, I suddenly felt an icy presence behind me!
Spinning around, I witnessed a headless muscular figure launch a strike at me!
"Boom!"
The blow packed tremendous power, and even I was sent flying with blood streaming from my nose!
I rose from the ground, stared at the headless muscular figure before me, and shouted in amazement, "What in the world is this creature?"
The mustached man rolled his eyes. "I warned you, this is a corpse revival scene. Don’t forget our location! This is the Immortal Slaying Sect!"
"Immortal Slaying Sect members were all mighty realm practitioners, and even in death, their bodies can be possessed by spirits."
Looking at the headless muscular figure ahead, I said carefully, "So... this person’s body could very well belong to a mighty realm practitioner?"
"Exactly." The mustached man nodded slightly.
"The method I just performed was for calling forth treasures, but it can also summon such entities." The mustached man spoke with complete seriousness.
My brow furrowed.
A mighty realm practitioner’s body? Just how powerful would that be?
"What’s our move now?" I asked cautiously while backing away.
The mustached man rolled his eyes. "What choice do we have? Obviously, it’s your turn now. The Master doesn’t deal with combat situations."
Before I could respond, the headless muscular figure rushed toward me!
Though his speed was lightning-fast, his physical form was even more incredibly powerful, nearly tearing through the Void!
I didn’t dare take him lightly, and quickly engaged the Saintly Body Skill for protection, then launched a counterattack.
"Boom!"
An explosive shockwave erupted between us both!
This shockwave launched the mustached man through the air, and the impact on me was even worse. My entire body flew back almost a hundred meters, while my hand bones cracked!
"What incredible strength!" My face went pale with shock!
No surprise it was a mighty realm practitioner’s body—even after all these years, it remained this formidable!
I was famous for having the ultimate physique, the chaotic body!
If other Marquises took this hit, their bodies would likely explode instantly!
"My friend, everything depends on you now. The Master has faith in you," the mustached man called out cheerfully as he retreated several hundred meters.
I didn’t dare underestimate the threat, keeping my eyes locked on the headless muscular figure in front.
I regulated my breathing to peak condition, and my iron fists glowed with Golden Light.
"A body lacking a soul can only fight through physical force," I reasoned silently.
"So...I still have a shot at victory!"
With those thoughts, I chanted under my breath, and golden light gathered on my fist.
Right then, the headless muscular figure had already charged at me!
Even without a soul, his speed remained incredible with just his physical form!
"Come on, let me discover just how strong a mighty realm practitioner’s body truly is!" I roared furiously, then struck with both fists!
Brilliant golden light immediately surged toward the headless muscular figure!
