Chapter 143: Chapter 140: Unactivated Domain Origin Species, New Panel Feature, [Primordial Domain] (Fourth Update)

The two of them brought Chu Feng to a small hillside and dug out a small box. Dai Sheng, with a dirty face, pointed towards it and said,

"The item is inside, but I must warn you, opening it will cause a phenomenon that will attract the attention of the Iron Chain Demons!"

He wasn’t being kind, merely worried that Chu Feng would recklessly open the box and draw the Demon Clan’s army to them, leaving himself to escape and the other two to die here.

Chu Feng said speechlessly, "You guys are really good at hiding things, picking such a conspicuous yet inconspicuous spot!

"No worries, you two take your medicine first, I’ll just have a look and then we’ll leave."

He drew out his Tang Sword, channeling True Force to its tip, and gently pried open the small box.

Inside the box was a central recess, in which a palm-sized black Crystal Stone was secured.

The Crystal Stone was pitch-black yet crystal clear, with a layer of mysterious rainbow light swirling on its surface, causing a slight palpitation in Chu Feng’s heart.

The moment the box was opened, the sky suddenly changed!

The originally gloomy sky suddenly darkened, followed by a huge blue void appearing slowly above them!

The void looked very much like a black hole from a demonstration animation, its center slowly rotating, with blue light flickering around its edge.

It appeared deeply profound and dazzling, and one could not help but feel a sense of shock as if their mind was being captivated after staring at it for a while.

Chu Feng and Li Ying both looked up at this scene, truly amazed.

Only Dai Sheng, having already witnessed it before, felt no novelty and urged,

"Finish looking and take it away! The Iron Chain Demons will be here soon!"

Chu Feng nodded, bent down to grab the box intending to close it, when suddenly a line of text flashed before his eyes that shocked him:

[Detection of an Unactivated Domain Origin Species, absorbed, new function unlocked: Primordial Domain!]

The next moment, the three of them watched in disbelief as the black crystal swiftly shrank as if being evaporated and disappeared in front of them.

Then the phenomenon in the sky also immediately faded, gradually dissipating into nothingness.

Chu Feng was greatly surprised, and then overjoyed in his heart.

Another new function!

[Primordial Domain]?

What is this thing?

Li Ying shouted loudly in shock, "It’s gone! What happened! Where did it go!"

He was almost losing his mind!

Although the item in the box was no longer related to him, he hadn’t quite come to terms with that fact.

Seeing the Sacred Object that they had struggled to protect disappear right before his eyes, he was starting to go mad.

That was a treasure worth at least five hundred million!

The pain! It was just too painful!

Chu Feng kept a shocked expression on his face and immediately turned around, yelling at the two, "You guys are screwing me over!

"This box cannot be opened, once opened, the treasure inside disappears!

"You’d rather destroy such a valuable treasure than let me have it? You’re utterly despicable!"

...

Li Ying was stunned for a moment and turned to look at Dai Sheng.

He too was witnessing the contents of the box and the subsequent phenomenon for the first time.

His knowledge of the treasure was all based on Dai Sheng’s verbal explanations, having almost no actual understanding of it.

Chu Feng’s shocked and furious expression was too realistic, realistic to the point that he began to wonder...

...if his astute brother already knew that the box shouldn’t be opened and was using this to trick Chu Feng.

But the next second, he realized that they should be united against a common threat, so he angrily retorted back at Chu Feng,

"Who’s tricking you, we told you not to open it over and over, but you insisted! Now that the item is gone, you blame us!"

By then, he had quickly accepted the fact of the Sacred Object’s mysterious disappearance, and immediately remembered that the treasure no longer belonged to them.

And the owner of the treasure, this unlucky fellow, had clearly lost everything! Hahaha!

He unabashedly showed a look of schadenfreude, and nudged the dispirited Dai Sheng with his elbow, whispering with a low laugh,

"Old Dai, wake up, stop pretending! Your plan was too successful!"

...

And in an instant, when the black crystal disappeared, Dai Sheng was stunned. What just happened?

He remembered clearly that when he had stolen the treasure from a lone Iron Chain Demon, he had opened the box to look. At that time, the crystal stone was lying peacefully inside the box.

It had been fine for so long.

The phenomena that erupted when the box was opened had attracted a large group of Iron Chain Demons that pursued them relentlessly, which was the root cause of their incredibly bleak past few days.

He had regretted more than once that he shouldn’t have been so curious to open the box; he should have waited until they were safely back at the base to check it carefully.

But why had it disappeared now?

He had seen clearly that the black crystal had shrunk rapidly and then completely vanished as if it had evaporated, not stolen by Chu Feng.

Moreover, as the agreed-upon owner of the Sacred Object, he had no reason to steal his own stuff.

All to default on their 25 million debt?

As a student of Nie Yan, he shouldn’t be doing such a tedious and petty thing.

Upon hearing Li Ying’s snicker, Dai Sheng felt incredibly stifled, "It wasn’t me! I don’t know what happened!"

Li Ying clearly didn’t believe him, but Dai Sheng couldn’t be bothered to waste more words on this brainless fighter. He turned to Chu Feng with sincerity and said,

"This was really not my plan—I did not anticipate this happening!

"Could it be that this thing can really only be opened once, and that it disappears after the second time?"

He also found it unimaginable and furrowed his brows in deep thought.

But what he never considered was that the person in front of him was harboring a cheat inside his body, having absorbed the Sacred Object, and still had the audacity to blame him.

...

Seeing Dai Sheng’s sincere expression, Chu Feng’s face visibly relaxed, as if accepting his explanation. He sighed deeply,

"It might really be as you said, that the box can only be opened once and disappears upon the second opening.

"Perhaps it has some kind of anti-theft measure?

"Oh well, to me, this so-called Sacred Object was basically windfall. If it’s gone, it’s gone!

"Without expectations, there’s no disappointment. It seems it’s my fate not to become rich overnight.

"If this thing is so important to the Iron Chain Demon clan, then it’s good that it’s gone. At least I won’t have to worry about enemies taking it!"

Listening to Chu Feng’s words, which were touched with a sense of loss yet still reflected his magnanimous disposition, Dai Sheng actually felt a wave of genuine respect.

If he were in Chu Feng’s shoes, witnessing a fortune he could easily lay hands on vanish before his eyes, he would not be able to remain so composed!

He might have even gone half mad.

He too nodded and sighed, "Such a shame about that huge sum of money!

"The only good news right now is that at least the enemy got nothing! That’s the only consolation we can take."

Li Ying, standing to the side, was completely unable to understand the nationalistic spirit rooted in the Human Race and the somewhat commiserating mood between the two.

He picked his nose and looked at Chu Feng with a sneer, "Even if the thing disappeared, we still can’t miss out on our share!

"The distribution agreement was crystal clear, you were to compensate us with 25 million in cash each!

"As for the five hundred million, whether you can get it back or not, that’s your own problem."

Clenching the distribution agreement in his hands, he couldn’t hide his smugness.

Initially, this agreement had completely stripped the two of them of any rights to the treasure, which had been frustrating for him.

But now, in his eyes, it had turned into a great agreement that must be upheld!

Chu Feng’s face looked awful, yet he still scoffed, "Look at you, getting excited over a measly 25 million. Do you think I’d be short of that amount of money?

"I can earn it back just by killing a few more Iron Chain Demons!"

Li Ying, unconcerned, watched Chu Feng’s embarrassed reaction with glee, "That would be best.

"If you don’t pay up, I’m going to take it up with Principal Nie!"

Suddenly, Chu Feng’s ears twitched, and his expression turned serious as he looked south.

Dai Sheng also faintly heard some commotion from afar. After glancing at Chu Feng, they both exclaimed in unison,

"The Iron Chain Demons are coming, run!"
