Chapter 782: The Immortal Lord’s Treasure Trove

Within a few thousand feet, the Master of Dustless Valley dodged everywhere, refusing to confront Su Che head-on. If he tried to flee in another direction, he would be blocked by the four Da Luo Jin Xian who were always on guard. It seemed there was no escape for him—he would eventually be struck by Su Che’s Chaotic Fist. Yet his expression remained calm, devoid of any panic.

“Su Che, in a moment, Emperor Meng Yu will arrive here. If I’m captured, do you think he’ll let you go?”

The Master of Dustless Valley still found time to send a message to Su Che: “Meng Yu is extremely suspicious. He’d rather kill by mistake than let anyone escape. He’ll surely capture you alive and search your soul. By then, all your secrets will be exposed.”

Su Che remained silent, continuing to punch repeatedly, as if filled with utter hatred toward the Master of Dustless Valley. He seemed determined to kill him at all costs, ignoring any consequences.

“Is there such deep hatred between us?” The Master of Dustless Valley smiled bitterly. “Are you willing to destroy everything and perish together?”

“What does it matter if the Emperor arrives? Is that so remarkable?”

Su Che replied coldly. Seizing the moment when the Master of Dustless Valley was still trying to argue, he suddenly pointed at him and uttered the word “freeze.”

It was a master-level paralyzing technique! Normally, few at the late stage of Da Luo Jin Xian could master such a technique at this level. Who would have thought that Su Che, though only at the mid-stage of Xuan Xian, had already reached master—or even grandmaster—level in many such techniques?

“You…”

The Master of Dustless Valley was shocked. His rapid dodging stopped mid-air. Despite his strength at the second stage of Da Luo, he still couldn’t avoid being frozen for a brief moment before he could break free.

A single breath might seem short in normal times, but in battle, it can be incredibly long. In fights between true immortals, even the slightest change happens in a fraction of a second. A single breath could suffice to kill thousands of enemies.

So, Su Che calmly flew over and punched him in the chest.

The Master of Dustless Valley’s triple-layer defense spells were quite strong, but under Su Che’s amplified, terrifying attacks, his body shattered, leaving only his head. With the transformation abilities of the Witch Clan, Su Che’s strength was amplified even further. Defeating a mid-stage Da Luo Jin Xian was no trouble at all. The reason he had thrown dozens of punches earlier without using techniques like paralyzing spells was to distract the enemy and seize the chance for a decisive strike.

The Master of Dustless Valley now had only one head, and he couldn’t reassemble his entire body in at least half a quarter of an hour. Using this half quarter of an hour, capturing him alive should be no problem, right?
Yet, what happened next made Su Che realize that he had also underestimated this guy.
Boom!
Dustless’s head exploded into dust, as if he had used some kind of self-destructive method to shatter his skull and destroy his soul, preferring death to becoming someone else’s prisoner…
But Su Che knew this was impossible. A cunning guy like him would never be that heroic.
Sure enough, the Master of Dustless Valley’s intact figure reappeared in another direction, unharmed in the slightest.
Had he just shattered his mirror image?
By no means! Su Che was certain—it wasn’t an image; it was his true body. This guy had indeed died once.
“A way to die in place?”
Su Che instantly understood.
“That’s right,” Dustless said calmly. “I possess a top-grade immortal artifact that allows me to die in place three times. Even the Immortal Emperor Mengyu never forced me to use it, yet you’ve already used up one of my chances.”
“A top-grade immortal artifact that lets you die in place three times?”
Hearing this, Su Che was secretly astonished. “With such an artifact, it’s as if you have three extra lives compared to others. Such a treasure truly deserves to be classified as top-grade.”
What is the most precious thing in the world?
For most people, it’s undoubtedly their own life. Without a life, everything is lost, and no matter how valuable wealth may be, one can’t enjoy it.
“You actually have a top-grade immortal artifact?” Su Che asked through telepathy.
“More than one!”
Dustless replied proudly. “You think the Immortal Emperor Mengyu has nothing better to do than target me over and over again, persecuting me and trying to capture me alive, just to seize the opportunity that belongs to me?”
“More than one top-grade immortal artifact?”
After a brief thought, Su Che asked in surprise, “Could it be that your opportunity isn’t just primordial demonic energy but also primordial immortal energy?”
“That’s right. I don’t intend to hide it from you,” the Master of Dustless Valley replied telepathically. “The most primordial forms of immortal and demonic energy belonging to the same person… are those of…”
Su Che filled in, “The only immortal lord who perished in the history of the Immortal Realm—the Primordial Immortal Lord! The opportunity you’ve obtained is the legendary Immortal Lord’s treasure trove?”
“This is huge!” Lao He muttered in the Immortal Prison.

In the history of the Immortal Realm, a total of fifteen Immortal Sovereigns have emerged, not including Tianyin, who may become one in the future. Among them, the Primordial Immortal Sovereign, the Firstborn Immortal Sovereign, and the Holy Mother Immortal Sovereign are the three most ancient Immortal Sovereigns.

The Primordial Immortal Sovereign was the strongest, possessing the most primal energy of immortals and demons in the world. At a certain stage, his ambition grew to extreme levels, and he attempted to replace the Heavenly Dao and reestablish the order of the universe. His fate was the same as that of those unruly ancient demon gods—he was eliminated by the Heavenly Dao. Attempting to defy heaven ends in such a result!

With the fall of the Primordial Immortal Sovereign, his immortal mansion in the Cloud Immortal Realm also disappeared without a trace, becoming a legendary treasure trove coveted by all. Some say the Immortal-Demon Battlefield is actually that very treasure trove. The reason it’s linked to the Primordial Immortal Sovereign is, of course, due to the term “immortal-demon.”

Thinking of this, Su Che’s mind suddenly cleared, and he remembered what the Master of the Dustless Valley had said earlier: “Some of the things you want are in his possession…”

“All in my possession? Could it be…” Su Che frowned.

“You guessed it, didn’t you?”

The Master of the Dustless Valley chuckled, “Do you know why I gave up the chance to enter the Immortal-Demon Battlefield and returned to the Immortal Realm early at the Thunder God Temple in the mortal world? It’s because I calculated that you would be able to open the Immortal-Demon Battlefield, which would essentially open another portal for me—one you can’t see—allowing me to access the true treasure trove of Immortal Sovereigns.”

“Damn it!”

Su Che cursed inwardly along with Lao Hei, realizing he had been secretly schemed against to such an extent. No wonder fate had its own plans—his karma with this guy was incredibly complex and hard to resolve.

So, the Immortal-Demon Battlefield is indeed part of the immortal mansion left by the Primordial Immortal Sovereign. He opened the entrance to the Immortal-Demon Battlefield here, while this guy, the Master of the Dustless Valley, used some kind of spatial connection somewhere in the Immortal Realm to open the true treasure trove.

“No wonder this bastard was so eager to return to the Immortal Realm. It turns out everything was part of his plan.” Lao Hei’s steel teeth clicked noisily as he spoke.

The Master of the Dustless Valley continued, “One of the conditions to open the treasure trove of Immortal Sovereigns is to first open the Immortal-Demon Battlefield on the other side. In short, the treasure trove was left by the ancient Immortal Sovereigns for someone like you who is fated to find it. But I was faster than you and seized it first.”

Got it!

Hearing this, Su Che was also filled with rage. That Immortal Lord’s treasure vault was purely meant for the great Immortal Lords themselves—only because he had the ability to fight against the Origin Demons, it was a great gift left for him. First, the Immortal-Demon battlefield was opened, then the Immortal Lord’s treasure vault—yet unexpectedly, this bastard stole the initiative.

The Master of the Dustless Valley spoke in a deep voice again, “To be honest with you, when I opened the Immortal Lord’s treasure vault, I was also worried. I feared my actions would be stopped by the great Immortal Lords, or even met with the harshest punishment. But for the greatest treasure in this immortal realm, I was willing to take the risk, even to gamble with my life… Facts have proven that I was right. I don’t know why, but the great Immortal Lords didn’t stop me. It seems they approved of this opportunity I got.”

“Well, if it’s fate.”

Su Che nodded and asked solemnly, “Then now, you dare to reveal everything to me. Aren’t you afraid I’ll go crazy and kill you right here? Even if you have a life-saving artifact, how many times can you die?”

“I’m afraid. Of course I am!”

The Master of the Dustless Valley replied calmly, “I don’t want to die at your hands, nor should I. So far, only one-fifth of the Immortal Lord’s treasure vault has been opened. I can’t access or possess the rest. I think perhaps it still belongs to you. No matter how much I try to seize those remaining blessings, I can’t take them away.”

At this point, he sighed heavily. “One must know contentment. Being able to possess one-fifth of it already makes me extremely satisfied. In fact, I realize that my fate isn’t meant to bear such blessings, which is why I’ve faced so much misfortune and danger. I think handing over the rest to you might also end my bad luck. To put it plainly, Su Che, I want to benefit from you, change my fortune, and at the same time settle this karma between us.”

Su Che smiled and shook his head. “Your plans are truly ingenious. By your logic, since you stole what should have belonged to me, I should even thank you?”

“Belonged to you?”

The Master of the Dustless Valley was unapologetic. “The Immortal Lord’s treasure vault has never been in your hands. In fact, you didn’t even know it existed. How can you say it belongs to you? It’s just that your fate and destiny can bear such wealth, while I can’t. I can admit all this, but I absolutely can’t say I stole your things. You never had them in the first place—how can you claim they belong to you?”

“Good!”
Su Che nodded. “If a treasure has no owner, whoever gets it first owns it—this logic does make sense. But when I was weak, you betrayed me, schemed against me, and even tried to kill me. Don’t think that just by offering the temptation of a divine treasure vault, you can stun me. Today, I’ll show you that there truly are people in this world who don’t care about such treasures.”
“That person is me! And you? Die a few more times!”
He dashed forward and threw a punch.
