663: The best

It truly was strange.

Shen Bei had thought that after entering through the vortex door, it would be a complete city, but he hadn't expected the grand city seen from the outside to be merely an illusion.

Upon truly entering, he found himself in a place resembling the outskirts.

However, the sight of a real, grand city in the distance greatly eased Shen Bei's mind.

At this moment.

As more and more people poured in.

The Royal personnel in front were also taken aback.

It was too late to try and drive them away.

Some of the unique individuals even jostled with the Royal guards; in the face of profit, everyone became a madman.

Just as the situation was becoming extremely uncontrollable, it was the Sixth Prince who managed to calm things down: "If you want to enter, then enter. Whether you can take away treasures depends on your own abilities."

Nine Lives Raven also showed an indifferent attitude.

Only then did the scene quiet down.

The Royal procession in front moved forward.

Everyone then turned their gaze to their surroundings.

What greeted their eyes was a beautiful, idyllic scene.

In the center was a lake, its surface like a mirror.

The lake water was as green as jade, reflecting the azure of the sky, like a bright pearl embedded in the earth.

To the west of the lake was a peach tree forest. Although the underground realm was now in late autumn, the peach trees here were in full bloom, with peach blossoms stretching for ten miles. As the gentle breeze blew, petals floated lightly like snowflakes, creating a captivating beauty.

Adjacent to the peach tree forest was an orchard, which contained a variety of trees: grapevines, orange trees, jujube trees… a colorful assortment.

To the east of the lake was a pastoral area, with scattered small houses of red tiles and green bricks, small bridges over flowing water, like a fairy tale land on earth.

"Is this where the Royal family lived back then?!"

Someone exclaimed at this moment. Everyone knew the Royal family loved pastoral settings. And the beauty of this place fully revealed the Royal family's preferences.

Looking at the scattered small houses, everyone's eyes widened. These small houses should be where the Royal family resided back then.

In Shen Bei's understanding, it was similar to an ancient Royal summer resort.

The attraction for unique individuals was immense.

Just at this moment.

Shen Bei looked sideways and saw an old yellow ox appearing in the distance, beside a rice field.

Previously, no one had noticed it because the rice stalks in the field had obscured their view. At that moment, a gust of wind made the rice stalks bow, revealing the back of an ox.

"An ox?"

Shen Bei found it a bit strange. Why would an ox appear in this place?

As more and more people entered, while marveling at the Royal family's creation of this idyllic beauty, they also turned their attention to the ox.

Everyone seemed to know that the ox was not simple, and no one was willing to be the first to challenge it, so countless people fell silent for a moment.

"Everyone… the Royal residence is over there. Who will go take a look?" A one-eyed unique individual asked.

"Clearly, that ox is blocking the way. Who would dare go?!"

"Are you taking us for fools?"

The one-eyed unique individual then pointed at the ox and said, "Afraid of that ox? If so, then let's deal with it, shall we? Who will make the first move and test how strong it is, to make it easier for us to deal with it?"

Everyone fell silent again.

An ox left behind by the Royal family—could it be easy to deal with? The best option would be… for someone to distract it, and then they could seize the opportunity to rush into those small houses.

The one-eyed unique individual looked at this scene, sighed, and said, "This place cannot be considered the true Old Capital. This is merely a space created by the Royal family back then. Are you all willing to stop here?"

Seeing that everyone still didn't respond to him, the one-eyed man sighed, "I know what you're thinking. You all want me to take the lead, right? Fine! Someone always has to do things. Since none of you will, then I will."

As he spoke, the Aura on the one-eyed unique individual surged, erupting violently. True Qi covered his entire body, and like the wind, he charged towards the ox with murderous intent.

The one-eyed unique individual went straight for the yellow ox, carrying a chilling murderous intent, his Aura soaring like a rainbow.

He was like a lone wolf, solitary, resolute, and charging forward without hesitation.

Someone watching this scene couldn't help but exclaim, "This one-eyed man, his character is truly impeccable!"

That one sentence made many people nod.

Watching his solitary figure charging single-handedly towards the yellow ox, some couldn't help but feel a sense of shame.

A bald unique individual watched the one-eyed man's body charge towards the black ox. He pursed his lips and looked at the crowd, saying coldly, "There are so many people here. Letting him go alone—don't you feel ashamed?"

"You stay here, I'll go with him to test the yellow ox's strength!"

After speaking, the bald unique individual used a spell, wind generated beneath his feet, and he chased after the one-eyed unique individual.

At this moment, someone shouted, "He's right. How can we take the benefits if no one bears the risks? How can we let him bear all the responsibility alone? We should face it together. That yellow ox might be very strong, but if we go together to kill it, it will absolutely not be able to resist."

"Yes! There's no need to let the one-eyed man risk it alone!"

"Everyone, follow me to kill the ox!"

Someone else also rushed forward to kill, and other powerful individuals were also inspired, following suit and charging forward.

Seeing this, others also didn't want to be preempted and followed along to kill.

"Kill!"

A mighty host of countless powerful individuals charged together, their Aura surging.

Everyone praised him endlessly, admiring the one-eyed man even more.

Thus, many Cultivators exerted all their strength, rushing frantically, like wild horses galloping.

Hundreds of Cultivators, each with a rainbow-like Aura and chilling murderous intent.

The original idyllic paradise became a scene of grim slaughter.

The one-eyed unique individual led the charge, like a king leading his team. Behind him, countless Cultivators followed, raising dust wherever they passed, cutting down all vegetation.

With irresistible force, they were determined to kill the yellow ox!

And that yellow ox mooed.

But in the next instant, everyone saw the one-eyed unique individual fly backward, spitting blood, and crashing at the yellow ox's feet.

Those who saw this scene all blanched.

What a terrifying yellow ox; it dealt with an eighth-stage Cultivator so effortlessly.

They looked at the one-eyed unique individual at the yellow ox's feet, fearing he would be trampled to death. The other people suddenly increased their speed, charging directly at the yellow ox, unleashing their strongest killing moves.

They held nothing back!

The yellow ox looked at the person at its feet, and it shook its head.

For a moment, it couldn't figure out what was happening.

It had been eating grass, enjoying its meal.

Suddenly, countless people charged at it with murderous intent, but it didn't care; they were merely ants.

So it ignored them, waiting for them to come. With a single breath, it could knock them all down.

Therefore, seeing the first ant charging at it, it was already preparing to impale him with its horn.

After the other unique individuals had all rushed over.

The yellow ox looked at the others, then opened its mouth and mooed.

This sound was earth-shattering, shaking the mountains.

A single moo!

It was like thunder from the Nine Heavens, affecting the hundreds of Cultivators present.

Regardless of their stage, they only felt their Qi and blood violently shake, and their True Qi was directly dispersed.

No matter what Martial Skills or spells they used, they were instantly dispersed, all their strength completely lost, unable to muster an ounce of power.

The unique individuals who had been soaring into the air, unleashing powerful attacks on the yellow ox, now plummeted directly, crashing onto the ground.

Everyone looked at this yellow ox in terror!

They had never imagined this yellow ox to be so powerful.

The yellow ox didn't care what they thought. After a disdainful glance at them, it then snorted again. This time it wasn't thunder, but a gust of Qi snorted from its nostrils.

As this Qi snorted out, black mist rolled, like a black hurricane, directly rushing towards these people.

Wherever it passed, everything was swept up. Hundreds of Cultivators were caught in it, spinning. Each of them felt a heavy blow, and intense pain shot to their heads.

But the intense pain wasn't what they cared about most; it was the smell of this black Qi.

"It stinks so bad!"

Everyone wailed. This was ten thousand times worse than the smell of hundred-year-old fermented feces.

It stank so much that every one of them couldn't bear it and directly fainted.

Even powerful unique individuals felt they had suffered a devastating impact. They felt like they were dying from the stench, and unable to bear it, they lost consciousness.

Hundreds of practitioners were swept by this Qi and thrown to the ground, lying scattered everywhere.

In just a few breaths, regardless of their strength, everyone was lying on the ground.

The ox didn't care at all, lowering its head to take another bite of grass.

Shen Bei looked at this yellow ox, his heart inexplicably shaken. This could no longer be described as powerful; it was simply explosively powerful.
