960: The Way to Death

Manager Zhao was very worried that Vast Treasure True Lord would be blinded by his anger and seek revenge on Wang Chen regardless of the consequences.

That would bring about the destruction of the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce.

Moreover, Manager Zhao felt that his worries were very likely to come true.

After all, not long ago, Vast Treasure True Lord ordered him to perfunctorily deal with Wang Chen regarding the sale of flame earth.

If this continued, Manager Zhao didn't know what other crazy decisions Vast Treasure True Lord would make.

But one thing was certain: if it continued, Vast Treasure True Lord and even the entire Wanbao Chamber of Commerce would be on a path to self-destruction.

" President, a moment of patience brings calm, a step back opens up a vast sky."

"I am also very sad about Young Master Heavenly Gift's death, but the dead cannot be revived; we must look forward."

Manager Zhao bowed, carefully trying to persuade him.

"Hehe!"

"Old Zhao, you are still as cautious as ever, and as capable of forbearance as ever."

"It's just, why should I endure?"

Turning his head to look at Manager Zhao, Vast Treasure True Lord said with a sneer:

"I know what you are worried about, but you don't need to worry!"

"Wang Chen, he won't live much longer!"

"This..."

Hearing Vast Treasure True Lord's words, Manager Zhao's expression was astonished, his face full of disbelief.

Wang Chen, who was invincible among those below the Great True Lord, wouldn't live much longer?

What a joke!

With Wang Chen's strength, he could sweep away all forces in the Netherworld except for the Eight Great Sacred Grounds.

To deal with him, at least a Great True Lord-level expert would need to make a move and set up a corresponding killing formation.

It could be said that even a Holy Land-level force would need to deploy most of its power to deal with Wang Chen, and they would still suffer significant losses.

Not long ago, a Divided Soul of Supreme Elder Hua Teng, a Great True Lord of the Four Symbols Holy Land, was severed, and his branch in Wanshou City was completely annihilated, yet they still haven't taken any targeted action against Wang Chen.

The reason for this is simply that the Four Symbols Holy Land is worried about losing eight hundred while killing a thousand, and once their strength is severely damaged, they would fall out of the ranks of the Holy Land.

Although there was also the reason that Mystic Tortoise True Lord of the Four Symbols Holy Land had an affair with a demon from the Six Desires Demonic Sect, it also showed Wang Chen's current might.

Although he was only one person, he had already surpassed any first-rate force and could almost stand shoulder to shoulder with a Holy Land!

So Manager Zhao simply didn't believe what Vast Treasure True Lord was saying at this moment.

This was too fantastical!

However, just as he was about to speak and continue to dissuade him, Vast Treasure True Lord directly waved his hand to stop him.

"Old Zhao, I know what you want to say, but this is not my fantasy."

"Wang Chen is strong, but the forces that want to kill him are even stronger!"

"Tomorrow, you go to the Xuantian Sacred Ground Branch, inform Wang Chen that flame earth has appeared in Linhe Town, and lure him here."

"As for the reason, just say that there will be an auction held in Linhe Town in the evening."

"This auction often appears in Linhe Town, so it shouldn't arouse Wang Chen's suspicion."

As he spoke, Vast Treasure True Lord looked at Manager Zhao solemnly, his entire being exuding a chilling killing intent.

"As long as he comes, he will surely die here!"

...

...

While Vast Treasure True Lord intended to use flame earth as bait to lure Wang Chen into a trap, in a secret room at the Xuantian Sacred Ground Branch in Wanshou City, Wang Chen was playing with an irregular object the size of a fist, radiating intense heat.

This object looked like rock, but it was extremely soft; a gentle press of a finger could leave an imprint on it, like modeling clay.

"It's truly peculiar; it came from deep within a volcano but wasn't melted into magma, instead forming such a unique substance!"

Playing with the modeling clay-like object in his hand, Wang Chen said with interest.

This thing was precisely the main Materials needed for the Earth Vein Azure Ox to advance to its juvenile stage, red soil essence, which was the flame earth here in the Netherworld.

Speaking of which, this flame earth was quite difficult to obtain; after Xu Yun searched all of Wanshou City without success, he used a super long-distance teleportation array to directly retrieve it from the Xuantian Holy Land's treasury.

The spirit crystals consumed by using the super long-distance teleportation array were almost equivalent to the value of this flame earth.

"No wonder Manager Zhao of the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce dared to be perfunctory with me; it turns out he had previously determined that flame earth couldn't be bought in Wanshou City."

Thinking to himself, Wang Chen turned to look at the Earth Vein Azure Ox, who was eagerly staring at him from the side.

"Eat, eat, quickly enter the juvenile stage, so I can take you to continue leveling up."

He handed the flame earth to the Earth Vein Azure Ox, saying with a smile.

Now, improving his strength was the top priority; no matter what Vast Treasure True Lord was plotting, in the face of absolute strength, it would all turn to dust.

"Moo Moo!"

The Earth Vein Azure Ox let out an excited bellow, then directly stuck out her tongue and rolled the flame earth into her mouth.

Crunch, crunch!

The little guy ate with relish, and the fist-sized flame earth was gone in a moment.

At this moment.

After eating the flame earth, a rich earthy yellow light emanated from the Earth Vein Azure Ox's body, and an incomparably heavy aura appeared in the secret room.

This aura contained a vast and steady might; in a trance, the Earth Vein Azure Ox seemed to transform into a towering mountain reaching the sky.

Feeling this might, a hint of anticipation appeared in Wang Chen's eyes.

Apparently, after eating the flame earth, the power deep within the Earth Vein Azure Ox's Bloodline was stimulated, and she began to advance towards the next growth stage.

Buzz buzz buzz!!

With a burst of magical agitation, various auxiliary magic Materials placed around the Earth Vein Azure Ox's body were pulverized into the purest magic power, which then surged into the Earth Vein Azure Ox's body.

In an instant, the earthy yellow light on the Earth Vein Azure Ox's body intensified, finally solidifying into a substantial, silk-like weave forming an earthy yellow giant egg that completely enveloped the Earth Vein Azure Ox.

Thump thump thump!!

A drum-like heartbeat sounded from within the giant egg; with each contraction, an ancient and heavy inscription condensed and then merged into the egg.

Faintly, Wang Chen felt that this giant egg was connected to the secret room beneath his feet, making him seem to hear the pulse of the earth.

Soon.

Under Wang Chen's gaze, the speed at which those ancient and heavy inscriptions formed became faster and faster, and the light on the surface of the giant egg grew brighter.

Crack!

With a crisp sound, an indescribably profound fluctuation slowly spread, and the giant egg's shell shattered, transforming into pure power that surged into the body of a small life within it.

Seeing this scene, Wang Chen knew that the Earth Vein Azure Ox's advancement was about to end.

As the pure earthy yellow magic power continuously surged in, the body of the Earth Vein Azure Ox after her advancement gradually materialized before Wang Chen's eyes.

Compared to before, the Earth Vein Azure Ox's size had increased significantly; if she was a miniature calf before, now her size was no different from a normal calf.

Moreover, the Earth Vein Azure Ox's fur was more lustrous, and the two horns on her head, pointing diagonally towards the sky, were more translucent and brilliant, like crystal, making her even more majestic.
