The young man took an object from his ring. The moment it appeared, the void erupted with terrifying, extreme pressure. Sound waves like whistling winds shook heaven and earth. Cracks split the void as world-shattering force descended. Fierce energy blasted outwards, reducing everything nearby to powder. The object in the young man’s hand was a jade hairpin. The power surging from it tore through the sky and split the earth. Brilliant radiance trembled as spiritual energy gathered on the hairpin, transforming into a peerless river of spiritual energy. The sound of rushing water could even be heard.
This scene made Ye Chu and the others change colour in shock. They stared in horror at the jade hairpin in the young man’s hand. Gazing at that surging river of spiritual energy, they were utterly stunned. Nobody knew what it was, but everyone realised it was undoubtedly extraordinary, far surpassing heaven and earth grade artifacts.
The terrifying power resembled rolling thunder, leaving everyone in awe. Ye Chu was equally shocked. He stared blankly at the Golden Doll, unable to suppress his rising panic. Under such overwhelming force, even ten Golden Dolls would not be enough to survive.
The Golden Doll gazed at the peerless force pouring down like a galaxy. Looking at that jade hairpin, his heart pounded violently. He stared at the young man and shouted, “Fairy Hairpin?”
The young man glared at the Golden Doll and shouted, “Worthy of someone from the God of Wealth family, truly exceptional. You even know of the Fairy Hairpin. Since you know it, you should also know this is a quasi-supreme artifact. Killing you would be effortless! If you submit now, I shall let you live a while longer!”
“A quasi-supreme artifact!”
These four words made everyone who heard them draw a sharp breath. They were overwhelmed with horror, unable to control themselves, staring blankly at the young man as if their hearts would leap from their chests. This included Ye Chu and Ye Jingyun. They felt their scalps go numb.
What kind of treasure is a supreme artifact? It is the most precious and peerless object in the world. Supreme artifacts are refined by supreme experts, and every supreme expert possesses a supreme artifact born alongside them. It bears the imprint of their path and laws. For example, the longsword of the Heartless Peak is a supreme artifact. Although it shattered itself with its master, even so, its sharpness remains unstoppable by anyone.
Supreme artifacts can be considered the most precious and peerless items in the world. Each one carries endless legends and holds a status as peerless as the supreme experts themselves. It is said that a supreme artifact can unleash power comparable to that of a supreme expert.
From this, one can understand just how terrifying supreme artifacts are.
Although the quasi-supreme artifact has the word quasi attached to it, anything related to the supreme realm is peerless. Though the Golden Doll is formidable right now, facing a supreme artifact means certain death. Even if his strength increased tenfold, it would not save him.
Ye Chu’s expression changed drastically as he stared straight at the Golden Doll. Although that blasted fat man was rather unreliable, as his third senior martial brother, Ye Chu naturally did not wish him dead. Yet, facing such an object, what could he possibly do?
Even borrowing the supreme treasure in Ye Jingyun’s hands would be powerless to change anything. A quasi-supreme artifact was simply too astonishing. If its full power were unleashed, it could destroy an entire region, rendering it nearly invincible in the world.
Nobody had ever expected a supreme artifact to appear here.
“Golden Doll, what do you say? How about coming back with me?” The young man stared arrogantly at the Golden Doll. Holding a supreme artifact, who could possibly stop him? Even if an absolute powerhouse arrived, it would be useless. To capture the Golden Doll, he had planned everything to perfection to ensure absolute success.
The Golden Doll was the sole descendant of the God of Wealth family. When they plundered the Jin family back then, they failed to find the item they wanted most. Thinking back, it must be in the Golden Doll’s possession. Capturing him might mean obtaining that very item.
The Golden Doll glared at his opponent and scoffed, “Do you think this can frighten this God of Wealth? As a deity who manages the wealth of the world, I have heaven’s aid!”
The young man stared at the Golden Doll with pity, thinking the fellow had truly gone mad. The downfall of his family must have hit him hard. A deity? What a joke. Were there any deities in this world? Did the Jin family really believe they were gods of wealth just because they called themselves so?
It was probably because the Jin family claimed to be gods of wealth that they incurred heaven’s wrath.
“Mock me all you wish. Today, you either die or return with me.” The young man fixed his gaze firmly on the Golden Doll.
“Return with you to do what? Eat filth?” The Golden Doll laughed loudly. “As for dying, do you actually have the ability to make that happen?”
The young man paused, involuntarily thinking of that item from the Golden Doll’s family. If he used it, the young man truly might not be able to handle him. But soon, the young man laughed. “Do not try to scare me. You cannot use that item right now anyway!”
The Golden Doll said, “I do not understand what you mean. That is correct. Even against a supreme artifact, if I unleash every secret art I possess, and even if my strength multiplies several times, I still cannot overcome it.”
“In that case, then die!” The young man roared. The world-shattering waterfall from the Fairy Hairpin poured down continuously. With every tremor, it exuded peerless might, vast and boundless, truly resembling a celestial galaxy.
Ye Chu’s expression changed drastically. He felt utterly powerless. Against such an object, unless one also possessed a supreme artifact to block it, the Golden Doll was certain to die. But did the Golden Doll have a supreme artifact? That was impossible! Therefore, the Golden Doll absolutely had no means to resist this thing!
Ye Chu watched anxiously but could do nothing. It was a quasi-supreme artifact. Nobody could stop it. The aftershocks alone could easily kill him.
The young man gritted his teeth, staring at the Golden Doll and roaring, “Say it again. Come back with me!”
The Golden Doll laughed loudly. “Even if I die, I will not go back with you to eat filth!”
“You are seeking death!” Seeing the Golden Doll still insulting him, the young man stepped forward, intending to suppress him.
“Ridiculous! It is merely the Fairy Hairpin. Though it is utterly peerless, and though this God of Wealth indeed lacks the power to resist it and would certainly die under one strike, do you not want to know why I recognised it at a single glance?” The Golden Doll suddenly burst into laughter.
“The Fairy Hairpin is extraordinary and has left behind many legends. It is not strange that you know of it. Moreover, many people in the world know it fell into the hands of the Golden Insect Clan.” The young man remained unmoved and continued stepping forward. The oppressive force made the Golden Doll’s face grow somewhat pale.
“Wrong! Wrong! If it were only that, this God of Wealth would not care to know. Do you really think I am such a gossiping person?” The Golden Doll scoffed. However, Ye Chu muttered cynically from below. If one were talking about gossip on the Heartless Peak, the Golden Doll would undoubtedly rank at the very top. A man who was interested in what kind of undergarments women from other peaks of Qingmi Mountain wore. How deeply gossipy could one get?
“What you do not know is this! This item was forged with the boundless effort of a supreme expert, crafted specifically for his woman.” The Golden Doll suddenly smiled. “Although your item is peerless, this God of Wealth possesses another item that can easily counter it. Haha…”
The Golden Doll laughed loudly, but these words only made the young man sneer. What could possibly counter a quasi-supreme artifact? It was impossible!
Yet the Golden Doll’s smile did not fade. Facing the approaching jade hairpin, he suddenly looked towards Ye Chu and shouted, “Ye Chu! Come here!”
The single sentence left Ye Chu stunned. Before he could even react, a powerful pulling force violently yanked him forward.
