The silver ruler pierced Fang Chen's left shoulder blade and instantly became lodged in his bone!
Fresh blood stained Fang Chen's clothes!
"Old man, this ruler of yours is extraordinary!"
Seeing the ruler pierced into the flesh of his shoulder, a ruthless glint flashed in Fang Chen's eyes, along with a hint of surprise!
Fang Chen had a deep understanding of the strength of his own physical body.
Even if Murong Zhan is at the Nascent Soul stage, even if he wields a divine weapon or an ordinary Heaven-Reaching Treasure, it would be difficult for it to harm his physical body!
But Murong Zhan actually broke through his defenses!
That means...
This ruler is no ordinary magical treasure!
"Could this ruler be something from the Chaos Myriad Spirits Ranking?!" Fang Chen's heart lit up. After sensing the sharp aura emanating from the silver ruler, Fang Chen felt even more certain that his guess was correct!
"Your physical body is so incredibly powerful! Even the Chaos Ruler couldn't kill you! Just who are you?!"
Murong Zhan tried his best to pull out the silver ruler, but it wouldn't budge.
It was as if the Hunyuan Ruler had taken root in Fang Chen's flesh and blood!
At the same time, almost half of his magical power had been lost!
"Old man, I just want some peace and quiet. You forced me to this."
Fang Chen's gaze was calm. He absorbed all of Murong Zhan's magical power, grabbed the silver ruler in his hand, and slowly pulled it out.
As the ruler was pulled out, the wound on Fang Chen's shoulder healed instantly.
Even the blood that flowed out was slowly flowing back!
"Senior, I... I was wrong. Please, in consideration of the difficulty of cultivation, spare my life..." Murong Zhan, having lost all his magical power, looked at Fang Chen with fear and pleading in his eyes.
Tell me what kind of ruler this is, and I might consider sparing your life!
Fang Chen glanced at Murong Zhan, and Murong Zhan felt a tremor in his heart. He quickly said, "Senior, this ruler was obtained by me in a secluded natural lake. This ruler has a name, Hunyuan Ruler, and it also contains a magic formula called Tongbao Formula."
"Once you've mastered the Tongbao Technique within, you'll be able to use this treasure to a basic extent."
At this moment, Murong Zhan felt a surge of powerlessness.
If my strength were higher, if I could cultivate the Tongbao Technique to a deeper level, the power of the Hunyuan Ruler would not be one-tenth of its original power.
If I were to unleash my full power—no, even just half of it—I could kill this young man before me!
"Primordial Ruler!"
Upon hearing Murong Zhan's words, Fang Chen's heart stirred!
Could this be a supreme spiritual treasure, ranked at the bottom of the Chaos Myriad Spirits Ranking among mortals?
He remembered that there was a Hunyuan Ruler inside!
That was what Old Demon Han obtained after killing the young man of the Horned Chi Clan in the Guanghan Realm. It was silver, emitting a silvery light, and ranked last on the Chaos Myriad Spirits Ranking.
Furthermore, the treasure only requires a little practice of the Tongbao Technique within to be used.
Fang Chen calmly put away the Hunyuan Ruler and looked at Murong Zhan. "After serving as a slave for a hundred years, I can spare your life!"
"A hundred years of slavery! Good."
Upon hearing Fang Chen's words, Murong Zhan trembled and nodded silently.
What does it matter if I'm a slave as long as I can live?
Cultivators live long lives; if their own physical bodies are destroyed, they can simply possess another body.
Not far away, Murong Qiao stood under a big tree, watching as the family elders, the family head, and the patriarch were all controlled by Fang Chen's methods. Her phoenix eyes were wide open!
"My master fell from the sky. I originally felt he was extraordinary, and took a chance by bringing him back. I never expected..."
"I never expected that my master would actually solve the crisis for me!"
The thought that she would no longer have to worry about becoming Chen Fengxiao's furnace filled Murong Qiao with excitement. Even the long-dormant shackles of her cultivation were stirred, and there were faint signs of a breakthrough.
"I wonder if I will ever have the cultivation level of my master..."
Murong Qiao gently stroked the wolf lying under the tree.
At this moment, Grey Wolf squinted slightly, letting Murong Qiao's little hands massage its back. Its four paws were completely flat on the ground, looking extremely happy, with even a trace of drool dripping from the corner of its mouth.
A group of ants ran around the saliva.
......
"The Primordial Ruler! A heaven-reaching spiritual treasure from the Chaos Myriad Spirits Ranking!"
Fang Chen looked at the ruler in his hand and was overjoyed!
Although it's the last treasure, it's still something that made the list!
He's gained another trump card!
He subdued Murong Zhan, Murong Lan, and other members of the Murong family, planting soul imprints on them so that they would work for him in the spirit world.
