第四千一百三十章 最后的游戏

The tumultuous laws of the cosmos were thrown into chaos.

Such a result left not only the powerful beings from the Black Flame Realm in shock, but also the other cultivators whispering among themselves.

"Did I see it correctly? The old brute's treasure really was forged from a small world. It’s actually so weak that it can't withstand an attack?"

"You ask me, how would I know? But the old brute’s reputation for terrorizing several realms isn’t just empty talk. He has been arrogant for such a long time and no one has subdued him. Don’t you think other fellow cultivators are not fools?"

"Judging by appearance can be misleading; just like how seawater cannot be measured. This Nine Heaven Mystic Lady, who looks frail, is likely the top-tier powerhouse among true immortals!"

"Not wrong!"

"Heh heh, this time the old brute won’t escape unscathed."

...

The commotion filled with malicious joy reached Lin Xuan’s ears. Most of it was about gloating over his defeat.

Sighing, Lin Xuan thought, "Indeed, the Three Thousand Realms are a scattered mess. Can these fellows handle true immortals?"

"Hmph, if they can avoid causing trouble, that would be good enough."

Incompetent in success and capable only in failure, no matter how high their cultivation, they were just a bunch of fools.

The flames unleashed by the Nine Heaven Mystic Lady were truly formidable. In mere moments, half of the treasure from the small world she had refined was already melted away.

The old brute was dumbfounded as his appearance finally became clear.

On second thought, he looked quite decent; not very handsome but rather imposing. He wore a golden robe that was exquisitely luxurious.

"Spit…."

A mouthful of blood spewed out from his mouth. This wasn’t unusual; once the small world he had refined into a life-bound treasure was destroyed, the backlash would naturally injure him severely.

With this outcome, he could only admit defeat.

In just one move, he and the Nine Heaven Mystic Lady had determined their victory or loss. His arrogance now seemed so laughable.

But in the cultivation realm, there were no do-overs.

The Nine Heaven Mystic Lady flipped her hand, revealing a bowl-like treasure in her palm.

Inside was a landscape with mountains, rivers, and lakes. Could it also be a small world refined into a treasure?

All present were dumbfounded as they sensed the profound法则力量 emanating from the jade bowl. It was far more complex than the small world just now.

And it encompassed everything, complete in itself.

No suspense anymore.

Their treasures seemed to be on par.

But their power was incomparable.

Even without the golden flames, the old brute had no chance at all.

A look of despair appeared on his face: "Mistress..."

He wanted to beg but before he could finish speaking, he was enveloped by endless laws and vanished in a puff of smoke.

The cultivators were startled...

They no longer looked down on these two true immortals who had arrived like uninvited guests.

And the old man still smiled as if granting blessings: "Fellow daoists need not be alarmed. We have no ill intentions; we were merely defending ourselves just now. Fellow daoists who came here should each hold a map, which is also a token to find Nine Heaven Xi Rong. Soon, we will open the door of Xi Rong Palace. Whether you can enter and seek your chance at immortality depends on your luck."

"Let me make it clear: this treasure hunt is fraught with danger; any means are allowed. Whether you deceive or kill for the treasure, we won’t interfere. So fellow daoists who wish to enter Xi Rong Palace think carefully. If you perish as a result, no one will pity you. But if you choose to leave now, it’s still not too late."

The old man spoke with an amiable demeanor but the content of his words made everyone look displeased.

Although the cultivation realm was full of bloodshed and strife, few openly encouraged such chaos. Wasn’t this encouraging a free-for-all?

Thoughts raced through the minds of the cultivators, but no one left. After all, they had come so far, and those with such high cultivation were naturally resilient in mind. A few words wouldn’t sway their resolve.

"Who knows if what you say is true or false?"

A sudden voice entered everyone’s ears.

It was the bald, barefoot powerhouse from the Heaven Body Realm.

In Lin Xuan's eyes, he was far more formidable than the old brute.

The latter was merely a foolish and reckless fellow.

"Nine Heaven Xi Rong can grant immortality. Many ancient texts have recorded this. If you don’t believe us, there’s no need to enter!"

"You..."

"Enough. This matter is entirely voluntary; I didn’t force anyone."

Grandfather Heavenly Fortune's face showed a hint of disdain as he waved his sleeves and a black ball flew out.

The ball expanded with the wind until it was ten feet in diameter.

The Nine Heaven Mystic Lady wasn't idle either, performing the same action.

Her ball was white and also grew to ten feet in diameter.

The two balls collided but didn’t explode; instead, they fused into a Tai Chi diagram of black and white.

A radiant glow enveloped them, and thunderous sounds echoed. A crack opened in the void, revealing exquisite pavilions and palaces within.

This wasn't over yet, as a powerful aura spread from inside.

"What is this..."

Despite their varied expressions, all eyes contained joy.

They were all realm-powerhouses; that aura... was undoubtedly a treasure of great significance, far surpassing先天灵宝. Could it be Nine Heaven Xi Rong?

After a while, the rumbling stopped and the light dimmed. A thousand-foot-high giant door appeared in the crack.

The ancient shape slowly opened to both sides.

The powerful aura became clear again but vanished soon after.

"Alright, the door of Xi Rong Palace is open. Fellow daoists may enter or leave as you wish."

Grandfather Heavenly Fortune sat cross-legged right there, seemingly indifferent.

The other great powers looked at each other, indecisive.

After a while, a man in fine robes finally couldn't sit still anymore and revealed a greedy look: "Prosperity lies in danger. Chu Shi, after all this effort to reach this stage, I must get Nine Heaven Xi Rong. Since everyone is retreating, why not let me take the lead?"

Before his words were finished, he was enveloped by purple energy and dashed into the door without hesitation.

With a leader, the other cultivators couldn't bear the wait any longer.

Although they all thought true immortals had ulterior motives, obtaining Nine Heaven Xi Rong to become an immortal was beyond doubt. Missing such an opportunity would mean no chance for regret.

Prosperity lies in danger; this man's words were indeed apt.

Now with no choice, everyone began vying for that chance at immortality.

PS: I recommend a book "Eternal Heavenly Emperor" (Book ID 3441144).

Earthling Chu Hao transcended to another world and was reborn as the only son of a minor noble family.

Just waking up, he found his father dead. His noble title was stripped away, and his势利 fiancée wanted to break their engagement and marry her rival instead. The sole source of income had been seized by his greedy uncle!

Why didn't transcending come with a growth system? Where’s the old man in the ring?

No worries; being the protagonist is the biggest cheat.

Interested daoists can check it out! (To be continued...)
