Dragon Monarch System Chapter 1181:- Rich Gets Richer [ii]

’Everything in this treasury is useful to me one way or another.’ Aditya thought to himself as he looked around the treasury. The treasury was really big, and there were countless things lying on small mountains of platinum coins.

The things that were actually useful to him weren’t that many. But behind him, he had an Empire and an entire army. So there was always something that someone from his Empire might need.

But Aditya didn’t want to take everything. His grandfather was already being very generous towards him. Though Harrington made it clear that he would not mind even if Aditya took everything, but Aditya’s just didn’t want to. Despite his grandfather’s words, he couldn’t bring himself to take advantage of his grandfather.

After looking around for a while, Aditya stopped and turned to Harrington, who had sat down on a golden chair that was already present in the treasury. "Grandpa, looking through this pile might take me more than 24 hours. Do you have any recommendations?"

But Harrington shook his head with a smile.

"My grandson, everything you see in this room has been collected over multiple generations. Before me, my father did the same, as did my grandfather and my great-grandfather before him."

"Even I don’t know about most things here."

"Even when I was young, I came a few times to see if I could find anything that would help me with my cultivation. But that was it. Since then, I rarely kept track of what my forefathers had kept in this treasury."

"Grandfather, I am sure you realise this, but if you had known what things you have here, then on many occasions, you could have used the treasures and artefacts from this treasury to help further strengthen the overall military power of the Harrington Family or maybe even the Harrington Faction."

"I know about the things I have kept here, but I have never really considered it important enough to sit down for hours and go through everything." Harrington would occasionally take out an item or two when he felt certain treasures would be better used by others or his subordinates rather than left sitting in the treasury.

Aditya nodded his head and said nothing.

Aditya slowly walked around the room until his gaze fell on something that immediately caught his attention.

"What is this?" Curiously, Aditya picked it up.

The thing on Aditya’s palm was a fist-sized, dark purple pearl. As a lightning user himself, Aditya could instantly feel that this fist-sized dark purple pearl contained an enormous amount of compressed lightning energy.

’The runes all over the surface of the Pearl seem to be containing this violent energy from escaping.’

Just then, the system did it work and showed Aditya the description of this artefact.

『Nine Heavens Thunder Destruction Pearl』

『Mid 6th Star Artifact』

『Description: - The pearl was created by a Sixth-Order Rune Master who spent decades gathering lightning from heavenly thunderstorms and compressing it into a single artifact.』

『Abilities: - Once activated, the pearl releases all its accumulated energy in a devastating lightning explosion.

- Effective destruction radius: 6 kilometres.

- Capable of killing ordinary Fifth-Order cultivators caught within the blast.

- Can severely injure Sixth-Order cultivators if they fail to defend themselves.

The lightning continues to spread across the affected area for several seconds, destroying buildings and formations. The user can activate the pearl remotely through a Mana imprint, allowing them to retreat before the explosion.』

"What a beautiful artifact!!!" Aditya was instantly overjoyed after reading the description of this artefact. The war against his cousin Brother was just a few hours away. Even a one-time-use artefact like this could be extremely useful when used on the battlefield.

’I can use the Nine Heavens Thunder Destruction Pearl as a trap and activate it when I want.’ This was exactly what Aditya needed.

"Aditya, you found something good?" Harrington asked curiously.

Aditya turned around and showed his grandfather the Nine Heavens Thunder Destruction Pearl. "I found this."

Harrington was instantly intrigued by the large fist-sized pearl on his palm. "What is it?"

"I saw this a few times in the past, but I didn’t bother to pick it up and inspect what it was. But from the looks of it, you seem to know what this artifact does."

Aditya nodded his head and explained the one-time ability of this artifact. After hearing his explanation, even Harrington himself was pleasantly surprised. Something like this that was capable of spreading into a radius of 6 km could be devastating to the enemy.

"Hahahahaha!!!" Malakor Harrington laughed out loud after hearing Aditya’s explanation.

"Back then, when I asked my old man about this pearl, he said that even he did not know what this artifact does. I thought it was some kind of lightning artifact that can assist cultivators that cultivates lightning energy. So I just left it in the treasury."

"Who would have thought that the Nine Heavens Thunder Destruction Pearl would be such a powerful and devastating artifact? Hahahahah!"

"I can’t wait to see it in action."

Aditya put the Nine Heavens Thunder Destruction Pearl in his storage ring.

’Although right now, I cannot understand the runes on this Nine Heavens Thunder Destruction Pearl, copying down the runes will definitely help in the future.’ Maybe in the future he deepens his understanding of runes, he would be able to make something similar with his crimson lightning.

’For now, let’s keep looking.’ After finding something very useful for their upcoming war, Aditya was very excited to see what other treasures were collecting dust for Millennium or Decamillennium (10,000 years) in this treasury.

Aditya did not have to look for too long. Hidden under a pile of platinum coins, he noticed another object that was covered in runes.

Curiously, he picked it up. It was a talisman.

The talisman was a rectangular piece of black jade. From his current understanding of runes and the fabric of space, the talisman seems to contain an extremely complicated spatial formation.

’Another good stuff.’ He could tell even without needing to read the System’s description first.

『Void Collapse Talisman』

『Peak 6th Star Artifact』

『Description: An ancient black jade talisman created by a Peak 6th-order Rune Master who specialized in spatial runes. The talisman contains an extremely powerful spatial formation that took several decades to complete. It was originally created as a last-resort weapon against powerful enemies. Due to the extremely rare materials and the difficulty of engraving spatial runes, only a few such talismans were ever created.』

『Ability 1: Upon activation, the talisman causes the surrounding space to collapse, creating a devastating explosion that can destroy everything within a 500-meter radius. Buildings, defensive formations, and cultivators caught within the affected area will suffer tremendous damage.』

『Ability 2: The spatial collapse can severely injure or even kill 6th-order cultivators. Ordinary physical defences offer little protection against the attack. However, powerful spatial barriers and defensive artifacts can reduce its destructive power.』

『Ability 3: Once activated, the talisman disrupts the surrounding space, preventing ordinary teleportation techniques from being used within its effective range.』

『Limitation: The talisman can only be used once. After activation, it will be completely destroyed. The user must also leave the affected area before the spatial collapse begins.』

"Hahahahaha!" Like his grandfather, Aditya also began to laugh after reading the description of the Void Collapse Talisman. It was something that would be extremely useful for his upcoming plans in this war.

Aditya was very happy at this moment. All this time, he was extremely worried about how he would execute that plan of his. But now he finally had a way. Now he finally had a way to make sure that no sacrifices in this war were necessary.

"What did you find?" Harrington came near Aditya and looked at the talisman. The old man could hardly control his curiosity after seeing just how happy his grandson was.

"It’s something that will allow me to hit my cousin in a way that he would never expect." Aditya said while grinning.

"What does it do?" Harrington asked curiously.

"It causes a spatial collapse that even Peak 6th cultivators cannot survive." Hearing this, even Harrington himself was overjoyed. But the old man immediately understood that Aditya had different plans with the Void Collapse Talisman.

"You are going there, aren’t you?" Harrington couldn’t help but ask with a helpless sigh.

Aditya replied with a grin. And then he gestured for Harrington to stay silent and not ask anything about this topic. "When the time comes, I will explain everything. For now, trust me grandpa."

Hearing this, Harrington did not ask any question. His grandson had already proved himself that he was more than capable enough to take care of difficult things. He planned and ended the entire Night Rider Sect within 30 minutes. Surely, whatever he was planning this now will be equally devastating to the enemy.

"Just don’t do anything stupid." Aditya nodded his head with a grin and then returned to continue his search.
