Chapter 1250: Rampage Without Restraint (1)
Countless ancient relic sites populated the vast expanse of the Nine Chaos Voids, occasionally yielding precious artifacts to those fortunate enough to discover them. Most of these finds were damaged or fragmented.
Unique and rare treasures sometimes appeared as well, though such discoveries remained entirely unpredictable, dependent entirely upon fortune rather than following any systematic order.
However, Chaos Orichalcum was different. This material was essential for forging Chaos Treasures and Xiantian Instruments. Every truly powerful artifact required this material, often in quantities that defied imagination. Among all sources throughout the boundless cosmic sea, none rivaled the Nine Chaos Voids in the production of this precious resource.
Across the immense cosmic sea, most regions pose no threat to me. Wu Yuan mused. At worst, certain areas might temporarily trap me, but killing me outright? Nearly impossible.
His confidence wasn't misplaced. With Full True Saint strength and self-preservation abilities approaching those of a Dao Zenithel, Wu Yuan's power commanded respect even among the mightiest beings traversing the cosmic sea. Indeed, ninety-nine percent of all regions held no real danger for him.
Yet places like the Nine Chaos Voids remained exceptions, particularly the still-unstable Seventh, Eighth, and Ninth Chaos Voids. Despite these dangers, True Saints from every major faction still rushed in, wave after wave. Their motivation? The allure of treasures, including Chaos Orichalcum!
In ordinary exploration sites, even after hundreds of millions of years of diligent searching, discovering a Chaos Orichalcum vein stretching a mere hundred li would be considered an extraordinary fortune. Wu Yuan’s eyes kindled with barely contained excitement. But how can such meager findings possibly compare to this—a massive mountain of ore in the Ninth Chaos Void stretching over a hundred thousand li?
True, the mountain contained only trace amounts of the precious material. Millions of cubic feet of raw ore might yield merely a single cubic foot of pure Chaos Orichalcum. Yet the sheer immensity of this mountain more than compensated for this dilution.
By my estimates, this deposit contains enough Chaos Orichalcum to forge at least two complete Chaos Treasures. Wu Yuan calculated, his assessment sharper than most True Saints. That's easily worth over a hundred million Xuanhuang merits.
Creating a Chaos Treasure required not only Chaos Orichalcum but numerous other rarities, and most critically, someone with the skill to perform the actual forging.
I must claim this. He decided firmly.
Once secured, my next Chaos Treasure will be within reach. Wu Yuan's heart surged with fierce determination.
