I Am Overlord-Chapter 1561: Divine Dynastic Vault

In the square, the wall cabinets no longer stored night pearls. Rather, pieces of god-grade crystals were stored in these cabinets. An energy of high purity filled the square and flooded the square with light, allowing them to see the entire square clearly. The first thing they noticed was a middle-aged man standing in the center of the square.

He was clad in animal hide with a feathered crown on his head. His head was raised as he gazed upon the sky with his bright eyes, as though he was going to see through the sky itself. In his hand was an overbearing battle-axe that gave off an impression that he could hack the world in two if he so wished. The middle-aged man was actually a statue, but it looked alive.

Before the statue was a pond of god-grade spring water. A heavy and auspicious aura hovered above the pond, giving everyone an intensely comfortable sensation. There also seemed to be some animals frolicking around in the pond, creating sparkling and translucent splashes every now and then.

To the left of the statue were rows upon rows of bookshelves. Numerous old-fashioned books made of special animal hides were on the shelves. With one look, one could see that the books were ancient.

To the right of the statue were numerous crude-looking weapons. The weapons might not have looked special, but they emanated an extremely sharp sensation. They were most definitely high-tier weapons. Behind the statue was a disorderly pile of random items. Not one was an ordinary item, as they all emanated extraordinary auras.

Xiang Shaoyun's group was completely stunned.

"Th-this is the Barbaric Dynasty's divine vault!" Despair cried out in alarm.

"Haha, looks like the heavens are favoring our Ziling Sect. With these treasures, the Ziling Sect will have no issue becoming a tier-9 organization," said Devouring Ghost as he laughed heartily.

Everyone else had a look of excitement as well. Even Xiang Shaoyun looked incomparably excited. He would have been happy just obtaining some valuable relics from this ruined dynasty. Surprisingly, he had found an actual divine vault. It was no wonder that this place was guarded by a god-grade formation and a god-grade puppet. What an unbelievable discovery!

"Overlord, do we start packing all these things?" asked someone.

Xiang Shaoyun recovered from his reverie and said, "No, this place is not this simple."

Despite his excitement, he did not lose his calm. He could sense that the statue contained a terrifying power. If they continued advancing, they would trigger something terrifying. The consequences for that would be horrifying. Others might not realize, but Xiang Shaoyun could with his divine dao eyes.

"That can't be the case, right? I thought we had already dealt with the dangers?" said Liu Qingchen.

Xiang Shaoyun did not say anything. He took a top-quality goldsteel stone and lightly tossed it ahead of him. Abruptly, a terrifying sealed power flickered in the air, turning the goldsteel stone into powder.

The goldsteel stone was a top-tier material that was incomparably hard. It was a material one would need when forging emperor-grade weapons. And just like that, it was reduced into fine powder. One could only imagine the power of the seal before them. Everyone's expression became that of someone who had just escaped disaster. If they had taken even one step farther, all of them would have been reduced into mincemeat.

"Is there an additional god-grade formation here?" asked Devouring Ghost in astonishment.

"No, but there's a God Realm soul here," said Xiang Shaoyun as his eyes flickered with a bright radiance.

Right after that, a sound came out from the statue, "So it's a kid with the divine dao eyes. No wonder you can see through the secret here. Not bad at all. Unfortunately, you're not a descendant of the Barbaric Dynasty. Otherwise, everything here will be yours to take."

Next, an ethereal figure hovered out of the statue. Nobody could get a clear look at the figure, but from its aura, they could feel that the figure was actually the clone of a God.

"Greetings, senior," said Xiang Shaoyun, not daring to slight the figure.

The others also hurriedly saluted the figure, especially Despair, whose eyes were shrouded in a fanatical light. The blood within his veins boiled.

The figure seemed to have noticed Despair's changes as its gaze landed on Despair. It exclaimed in surprise, "There's actually a descendant of our Barbaric Dynasty here? Too bad your bloodline purity is too low. However, this much is enough."

Despair dropped to his knees and said, "Tiele Clan's descendant, Tiele Shawang greets the ancestor."

"So it's a descendant from the Tiele branch," said the figure with a sigh. "Since you have arrived here, accept this emperor's blessings."

A gust of energy wrapped around Despair and brought Despair toward the statue. With a wave of the figure's hand, a chunk of frozen blood surged out of the pond. The blood melted before entering Despair's mouth. Despair's mouth opened automatically as he swallowed the blood.

Instantly, a boundless life force enveloped his body, forming a blood cocoon around him. Stands of bloodline power rippled out, flooding the entire square with a rich life force. Who would have guessed that the frozen chunk of blood would contain such a thick life force? Xiang Shaoyun and the others were greatly shocked.

"He is accepting the Barbaric Dynasty's bloodline inheritance. Do not disturb him. As for the others, do as you wish," said the figure.

The figure did not have much strength. He knew that he had no way of stopping them all, so he decided to be generous. In any case, his sole mission of preserving the Barbaric Dynasty's inheritance had been completed.

"Thank you, senior," said Xiang Shaoyun and the rest as they bowed.

Next, Xiang Shaoyun said to those behind him, "Take a look around and see if there's anything that's suitable for you. We'll talk after Despair wakes up."

This was the divine vault of the Barbaric Dynasty. Since Despair was a descendant of the Barbaric Dynasty, Xiang Shaoyun did not intend to take everything here for himself. In any case, this was also a perfect test for Despair's loyalty. Despair's actions after obtaining this inheritance would show Xiang Shaoyun many things.

Xiang Shaoyun took the lead and started walking around the public square. His gaze first landed on the pond before the statue. The pond sparkled with light as though it was a river of stars. It emanated a sensation of vastness, and a golden fish could be seen swimming about in the pond.

It was a golden fish with only a single fin. Tough golden scales ran along its body while draconic whiskers trailed from its snout. Its eyes seemed to be brimming with intelligence. The moment it met Xiang Shaoyun's gaze, it submerged into the pond, no longer daring to show itself.
