Asura Mad Emperor-Chapter 542: The Struggle for the Spiritual Pearl
Before everyone could react, they saw the Spiritual Pearl had already flown into the hands of the Divine Corpse.
"The Spiritual Pearl has been grasped by that mummified corpse, let's join forces and snatch it away!"
A Divine Envoy came to his senses and shouted loudly.
"Kill!"
A group of Great Emperors and Divine Envoys shouted and all activated their movement techniques, stretching out huge hands, trying to seize the Spiritual Pearl containing endless life force.

Jiang Yan, Dian Lai, and Xue Linkong couldn't sit still either, each suppressing from three different directions.
Qinchuan leaped down, his feet radiant with Dao Magic, laws swirling about, and with a thud, he landed beside the Divine Corpse. Blood-red killing intent surged wildly from his body, spreading all around and shaking the Crystal Mountain.
"Get lost!"
With an angry shout, his voice thundered, the red Asura killing intent enveloping him, like a demon climbing out of the eighteen layers of Purgatory, chilling to the bone.
At this moment, he unleashed all his Divine Power Spells simultaneously, blocking the Divine Skills of Jiang Yan and the others.
"Boom!"
As everyone made their moves at once, countless Divine Power Spells exploded, striking upon the Bronze Coffin.
The Bronze Stone Coffin, already cracked, could not withstand the immense Divine Power, and with a loud bang, the Stone Coffin burst apart.
The next moment, countless lights flickered, dazzling radiance soaring to the sky—treasures from within the Bronze Stone Coffin dispersed as the Stone Coffin shattered, all spilling out.
"Look quickly, so many Magical Treasures!"
The many Cultivators in the distance exclaimed in surprise.
Everyone went mad, rushing towards the summit of Crystal Mountain. These glinting treasures must certainly be those unwanted by the Quasi-Emperors and Great Emperors.
"Buzz!"
A Supreme Saint turned into a bolt of lightning, moving so fast that Great Dao Laws coiled around his arm as he grabbed a glowing Divine Brush floating in the void.
"Hahaha, I've got it, a Supreme Divine Brush!" The Supreme Saint laughed wildly. The treasures that flew out from the Bronze Stone Coffin were surely incredible Magic Artifacts, and the Saint stimulated his Divine Sense to examine it.
"What!"
"How can this brush be a mere mortal object?"
The Supreme Saint was greatly shocked. He found that the Divine Brush, which seemed to glow with jade light from afar, turned out to be nothing more than an exceedingly ordinary mortal pen upon closer inspection.
Forget about having any Divine Intent, it didn't even have a hint of the Great Dao's will.
"How can this be?"
Not only this Supreme Saint, but at this moment, all Cultivators who had snatched a treasure discovered the same thing.
Everyone was stunned; they had risked their lives navigating the Great Emperor Battlefield, only to take such a gamble for some mundane objects?
At this point, everyone turned their attention to the Spiritual Pearl that the Divine Envoys and Great Emperors were fighting over in the distance.
"This Bronze Stone Coffin has a mysterious origin, an object from Ancient Times. How could it possibly contain mere mundane items? Could it be that the Spiritual Pearl has swallowed all the spiritual energy and Divine Power of these treasures?"
Treasures could also devour the Spiritual Power of other Heavenly Treasures Materials.
Just like how Qinchuan used to preserve various Innate Body-awakening Heavenly Treasures Materials, to maintain their medicinal properties and Spiritual Power, he would feed other treasures for these geniuses to devour, so as to avoid the loss of their spiritual efficacy.
With time, the devoured treasures would naturally diminish significantly in their original medicinal efficacy and Spiritual Power.
This bronze stone coffin had existed for countless years, and if the spiritual treasure inside was truly only for the consumption of the spiritual pearl, it was indeed possible that it had been devoured completely, becoming a mere mundane object.
After exhausting the last drop of essence blood, the divine corpse no longer had the strength for another battle at this time.
Seeing Qinchuan fall beside him, after spending some time with Qinchuan, he considered him the only person he knew.
Without any hesitation, he stuffed the life-containing spiritual pearl into Qinchuan's embrace.
After doing all this, the divine corpse collapsed with a thunderous fall.
Qinchuan was filled with a solemn air, as he vaguely sensed that, countless years ago, this divine corpse must have been searching for the secrets within Spirit Martial Great Tomb and Dao Palace Secret Realm, and it was very likely that it had lost its life for this spiritual pearl.
Now that he had obtained the spiritual pearl, he, too, had exhausted the last drop of essence blood, and the only instinct for battle left in his body could no longer hold on.
With a move of his hand, Qinchuan took the divine corpse back into the storage space.
The storage space he currently carried on his body was not as good as the Dao Lotus space, but it was still no problem to contain a divine corpse without consciousness.
"Qinchuan, the God Master is giving you one more chance. Hand over the spiritual pearl, and we can let go of the divine corpse and not pursue the matter further!"
Jiang Yan was glowing all over, surrounded by a brilliant aura, incredibly holy, like an ancient divine being high above.
"Back when the treasures of Spirit Martial Great Tomb appeared in the world, countless people fell, but only you survived. If this old man is not mistaken, the spiritual pearl from Spirit Martial Great Tomb must have been taken by you as well," he said.
Xue Linkong had healed his injuries, and he stared at Qinchuan with a gloomy gaze, as the two of them were now in a fight to the death.
"What a joke. The world of cultivation has always been about the survival of the fittest. Whoever is strong claims the treasure. The divine corpse was taken by this young master by my own hand; there is no need for any of you to concede it.
The spiritual pearl is in the possession of this young master. If you have the ability, come and take it yourself!"
Qinchuan said mockingly, with one hand wielding a spear and the other holding the green spiritual pearl, as arrogant as one could be.
"Senior, this spiritual pearl concerns the survival and safety of the Divine Realm, and it has no other use in your hands. If possible, we are willing to exchange it for other treasures," said the Jin Ling Saintess as she swayed the bells on her body, approaching slowly with her proposition, though she had not yet made a move.
"If the spiritual pearl can indeed solve the crisis of evil energy, once I have collected the Nine Spiritual Pearls, I will surely return to the Upper Realm to resolve it myself. There is no need to hand it over to you, which is so troublesome," Qinchuan said lightly. In his eyes, the spiritual pearls were not only about solving the crisis of evil energy but also related to the Immortal Burial, and that mysterious grey energy; he could not give up on them.
"Since Senior Qinchuan is so obstinate, we can only settle this with Divine Power Spells!"
The Jin Ling Saintess had tried to persuade him with both good and bad arguments, but seeing that Qinchuan had no intention to exchange the spiritual pearl, her tone grew colder.
Now, with a God Master by their side, as well as the Feather Alliance and the Rain People Clan, even if Qinchuan had descended for hundreds of thousands of years, he could hardly escape even if he had wings.
"The kid is right, the one strong enough claims the treasure; this spiritual pearl in the kid's hand is claimed by the Divine Alliance!"
Jiang Yan's eyes flickered with lightning, and with a sweep of his arm, a thunderous roar sounded as Great Dao Rune Patterns filled the sky, charging towards the spiritual pearl in Qinchuan's hand.
Jiang Yan walked through the void, his body flickering with blue lightning, instantly appearing beside Qinchuan.
"Bang!"
Qinchuan and he collided fist to palm, and a blazing divine light soared into the sky, engulfing the entire Crystal Mountain.
Divine Skills were activated, and spells rose in all directions; lightning and flames filled the entire mountain range as the two continually battled.
Dian Lai was not willing to show weakness either; he took action himself, joining in the struggle for the spiritual pearl.
Both Jiang Yan and Dian Lai, in the eyes of many, were dominant forces, and they had never made a move before.
At this time, the two took action personally for the spiritual pearl.
"Humph, this old man is still capable of fighting!" Xue Linkong consumed a Divine Pill, and his mana returned to its peak, unleashing a roar that instigated a sky full of blood rain, traversing the void, and joining the grand battle.
