Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations
At the sight of his Yang-Light Sword being blocked by the black wheel's black defensive light veil, Qingfeng Li looked very surprised.
He knew full-well the powers possessed by his sword. Not only was the Yin-Yang Saint Sword a saint-level item, it was at an incredibly high level.
It had the power of killing middle-grade demonic saints but it couldn't defeat a black wheel?! What kind of powers did the wheel possess?
Thinking hard, Black Puppy furrowed its brows.
Suddenly, Black Puppy shouted, "Qingfeng Li, I remember now. The black wheel is a dharma treasure that belonged to a high-grade saint. It's a high-grade saint item! Its name is the Vortex Sky Wheel and it originally could not speak. It's definitely occupied by a spirit."
The voice from the black wheel quieted as soon as Black Puppy finished its sentence; evidently, Black Puppy's explanation was dead on.
Qingfeng Li's eyes lit up. He couldn't believe the powerful background the black wheel possessed. It was the Vortex Sky Wheel, and there was a powerful soul controlling it. It was all very interesting.
Qingfeng Li knew that he had to force out the soul hidden in the Vortex Sky Wheel. He needed to learn from it how to control the treasure. The Vortex Sky Wheel was beyond incredible. It could save Qingfeng Li's life during critical moments.
Qingfeng Li put back the Yin-Yang Saint Sword, reckoning it wasn't the best tactic in this situation; he needed another way in.
He began to channel his inner golden flame, transferring it through his veins and muscles and into his fingertips.
The golden flame was now at a temperature of 15,000 degrees, frightening as could be, unbearable even to high-grade saint items.
As the golden flame appeared atop Qingfeng Li's index and middle fingers, the Vortex Sky Wheel began to shake, frightened by the torrid temperature the flames possessed.
"The flames of the Golden Saint?! How did you get it?" The voice in the Vortex Sky Wheel sounded incredibly scared.
Hearing its voice, Qingfeng was delighted. He knew that the golden flame would do the trick.
He laughed out loud and said, "Not only do I have the Golden Saint's legacy, I've also elevated its powers, and it's now at a temperature of 15,000 degrees. I think it's best if you come out from the Vortex Sky Wheel. Otherwise, I'll torch you up!"
As he spoke, Qingfeng Li sparked a flame atop his fingers, sending out violent heat waves and melting the surrounding atmosphere.
The voice from the Vortex Sky Wheel went silent as if it were contemplating its options.
Taking advantage of its hesitation, Qingfeng Li immediately waved out his index and middle finger, pointing them forward, casting the golden flame onto the black wheel.
Sparks flew as soon as the golden flame appeared; everything it touched melted into puddles, ultimately evaporating into thin air.
The golden flame instantly hovered over the Vortex Sky Wheel, covering its body, making it shake. Although it was a high-grade saint item, the golden flame was still too hot to handle.
The Vortex Sky Wheel began to show signs of melting at the mercy of the terrifying heat, drawing from it a miserable cry.
"Ow! It's too hot! It hurts! Stop burning me!" The voice became louder and louder, clearly filled with fright.
Refusing to stop the fire, Qingfeng Li said coldly, "This is your last chance. Come out of the Vortex Sky Wheel at once or I will torch you up with the golden flame!"
"Okay okay okay! You're the boss alright? Stop burning, I'm coming out!" The voice from the Vortex Sky Wheel sounded very anxious.
Hearing it surrender, Qingfeng Li waved out his right hand and withdrew the golden flame back into his body.
Shoo!
Suddenly, a black shadow flew out of the Vortex Sky Wheel. It was the size of a palm, extremely skinny and tiny. What was more important was that it was a shadow of the spirit form demonic beast.
At the sight of the spirit form demonic beast, Qingfeng Li exclaimed, "A mouse! I didn't expect to see a mouse demon."
Hearing his words, the palm-sized soul immediately refuted, "What are you saying? How could I be a demonic mouse?! I'm a mouse saint and I'm very powerful!"
Qingfeng Li said mockingly, "Very powerful? Then why are you afraid of the golden flame?
The black shadow wanted to speak but was afraid of Qingfeng Li's powerful energy.
It had battled Qingfeng Li for a very long time and it knew full-well of his powers. It knew that it couldn't rival Qingfeng Li even with the high-grade saint item. Qingfeng Li's offensive powers exceeded its own by two small realms.
Black Puppy had watched the black shadow ever since its appearance. It reminded the pup of a legendary being from the ancient universe era.
Black Puppy said, "I know what you are. You're the Treasure-Hunting Mouse. Legend says only one appears in every era of the universe. If you are a remnant from the ancient times, you should've died already. Why are you still alive?"
The palm-sized shadow stilled, its eyes filled with shock. "How do you know that I'm the Treasure Hunting Mouse?"
There were millions and millions of rodents in the universe, possibly even billions. There were also millions of demonic rodents; the number was too large to define. However, there was only one Treasure Hunting Mouse per era of the universe.
They were the spoiled children of the heavens. They had the luck of finding the most powerful treasures in the universe, making them a big target for other self-cultivators and powerful devils.
Some powerful self-cultivators, devil, and demons wanted the Treasure Hunting Mouse for themselves. That way, they would be able to find the rarest and greatest hidden treasures to improve their own abilities.
Although Qingfeng Li had never seen a Treasure Hunting Mouse, he'd heard of it from the Dark Night Monarch, understanding full-well that it was spoiled by the heavens. Although the Treasure Hunting Mouse looked nothing out of the ordinary, it wasn't a real mouse demon - it possessed powers to discover the treasures hidden by the law of heavens and earth.
