91: Chapter 91: Surprise Attack

The last of the four gates.

Although White Bone Scholar and Jian Wuchen could not stand each other, they both knew that under the current circumstances, only by working together could they pass the trial.

Thus, the two temporarily cooperated and, after expending some effort, also passed the trial.

Accompanied by a soft sound.

A ray of light enveloped the two, and they vanished.

...

Immortal Demon Hall.

Xiao Ran and Su Qinghan were the first to return here, followed by Li Tianxing's group and White Bone Scholar's group.

Out of the four groups, only Li Changsheng and Liu Ruyan were late to emerge.

"Could Junior Brother Li have failed?"

Ling Jianxin frowned and said in surprise.

The others exchanged glances and shook their heads silently.

Xiao Ran, who was the last one, had called out to Li Changsheng through the Soul connection more than once.

However, he never received a response.

Little did they know, Li Changsheng was currently passionately rolling in the sheets.

"It's already been three times; I want to request a ceasefire."

Li Changsheng lay flat on the bed, looking at Liu Ruyan, who was leaning in again, and hurriedly waved his hand.

Three times in a row—even a Nascent Soul bigshot couldn't handle that!

Not to mention that Xiao Ran had already called several times.

They had to get out as soon as possible.

Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyan stopped, though she still seemed unsatisfied.

Thus, the two got dressed and stepped out of the Gate of Desire.

A flash of light passed, and the eight people gathered.

"Junior Brother Li, you didn't encounter any difficulties, did you?"

Ling Jianxin asked immediately.

"I encountered a little trouble, but it has been resolved."

"Thank you for your concern, Senior Brother!"

Li Changsheng shook his head and thanked him upon hearing this.

Ling Jianxin saw this and did not ask further.

At this moment.

When all eight people returned to the Immortal Demon Hall, the ball of Chaos light located in the center of the main hall trembled violently.

The phantom of Immortal Venerable Wuju appeared once again.

"Congratulations, you have all passed the trial."

He raised his hand, and eight rays of light flew out from the immortal demon origin, each entering the bodies of the eight people.

That was the gift of the immortal demon origin.

The amount each person received was different, but it was enough for their cultivation to advance further.

Xiao Ran felt that power of Chaos within his body, and a strange look flashed in his eyes.

He could feel that he had received the largest share.

Moreover, that power contained the mysteries of cultivating both immortal and demon paths.

He looked toward Immortal Venerable Wuju.

Immortal Venerable Wuju also looked at him, nodded slightly, and sent a voice transmission.

"The Guixu Body is the best vessel for cultivating both immortal and demon paths. That old monster from the previous generation who had the same Physique as you was the main force against the Yao Race during the Immortal-Demon War."

"If it weren't for him, the Immortal-Demon War would not have ended so quickly."

"So, this is my gift. Now that you have the seed within you, whether it blooms and bears fruit depends on your own fortune."

Xiao Ran was shocked.

He looked at Immortal Venerable Wuju.

Immortal Venerable Wuju was also looking at him, his eyes full of appreciation.

The two exchanged a glance for a moment, and everything was understood without words.

"Immortal Venerable Wuju is truly a great person!"

Xiao Ran had already mentally issued a 'Good Person' card to Immortal Venerable Wuju.

Afterwards, it was time to fully absorb the immortal demon origin.

This was a good treasure left over from the great war back then.

As long as they could digest even a little, it would be a huge boost to their cultivation.

A long time passed.

The eight people finished digesting one after another.

"Alright, your trial has ended."

"The immortal demon origin within this main hall has acknowledged its masters; it will grow as you grow."

"As for how much you can gain from it, that depends on your own Comprehension Ability."

Immortal Venerable Wuju still wore a smile.

The immortal demon origin was the lifeblood of the bigshots from the previous era. Among the eight, the highest cultivation level had not even reached Soul Transformation, so naturally, it was impossible to digest it all at once.

Therefore, it could only be slowly digested as time passed.

Seeing this, the eight people hurriedly thanked him.

Immortal Venerable Wuju waved his hand.

"The Ancient Battlefield is about to close, and it is time for you to leave."

"One last piece of advice: I hope you do not repeat the mistakes we made back then."

As his voice fell, eight rays of light enveloped everyone.

Teleportation began.

Xiao Ran looked at Li Changsheng.

Li Changsheng also looked at him.

Through the Soul connection, both of their voices sounded simultaneously:

"See you outside."

The light intensified greatly.

The figures of the eight people vanished from the Immortal Demon Hall.

The phantom of Immortal Venerable Wuju quietly watched the direction in which they disappeared and whispered to himself:

"Ten thousand years have passed."

"Finally, I have waited for this."

"Guixu Body, Innate Dao Embryo... an interesting combination."

His phantom slowly faded away.

The Immortal Demon Hall returned to silence.

Only that ball of Chaos light remained quietly suspended.

...

Ancient Battlefield, beside the Lake of Oblivion.

Seven days passed quietly.

The sky of the Ancient Battlefield began to turn blood-red, which indicated that the time the Ancient Battlefield remained open was already halfway over.

When the sky turns completely red, it will be the time for the Ancient Battlefield's gates to open.

By then, this expedition to the ruins will be declared over.

Therefore, most Cultivators were speeding up their treasure hunting.

There was not much time left for them.

However, even in this situation, there were exceptions.

By the Lake of Oblivion, dozens of figures remained motionless.

They had been guarding this place for seven days.

Leading them were three figures with the most powerful auras.

They were Blood Buddha Ku Chan, Jade Flute Young Master Liu Wuyin, and Poison Doctor Ghost Elder Yan.

The three great Nascent Soul old monsters!

"It has been seven days."

"Those juniors should be coming out now, right?"

Blood Buddha Ku Chan sat cross-legged on a giant rock, with blood-colored light flowing around his body.

"What's the rush?"

"Before the Ancient Battlefield closes, they will inevitably appear here; by then..."

Liu Wuyin gently caressed his jade flute; he did not continue, but the killing intent in his eyes explained everything.

Ghost Elder Yan gave a sinister laugh.

"My poison has already set up seven layers of Restrictions around this area; even a Cultivator at the Nascent Soul Great Perfection would have to shed a layer of skin."

The killing intent of the three of them was almost tangible.

After all, they had bet everything, and having finally reached just one step away from the Legacy, they were ultimately robbed of their tokens by Xiao Ran using a secret technique.

Otherwise, they would have already entered the ruins.

This grudge was irreconcilable.

Other Cultivators nearby were also eyeing them covetously.

Nether Hall's Gui Li, several female Cultivators from the Hehuan Sect, and a few ruthless characters from the Loose Cultivators Alliance... none of them had the qualifications to enter the trial.

But that did not mean they did not want a share of the spoils.

Killing people to seize treasures is the oldest rule in the cultivation world.

"They're out!"

Someone shouted.

Everyone perked up.

Above the Lake of Oblivion, space twisted violently.

Eight rays of light descended from the sky and landed on the lakeshore.

It was Xiao Ran and his group.

Just at the moment they landed—

"Do it!"

Blood Buddha Ku Chan shouted explosively and made the first move!

His target was aimed directly at Xiao Ran.

"Little thief! Return my token!"

The Blood Buddha Great Handprint slapped down from the air, with blood light flooding the sky, enveloping Xiao Ran's entire body.

At the same time, Liu Wuyin's jade flute silently pointed toward the center of Li Changsheng's brows!

Ghost Elder Yan's poisonous mist covered both of them simultaneously!

The three great Nascent Soul old monsters unleashed killing moves from the start!

And the targets they chose were the two weakest among the eight.

Xiao Ran and Li Changsheng.

Picking the softest persimmon to squeeze.
