I'm willing to give you a chance.

Hearing the insulting words "little chick,"

they would have resisted long ago.

But now, no one said a word, as if they had accepted this title.

"I did just save your lives, after all. Do you have any good things to offer me? Otherwise, there will be a few more corpses in here."

Hearing the Yao Beast speak, several people shuddered.

The dense, endless piles of bones surrounding them—could they have all been eaten by this creature?

Chu Xinghe shifted his gaze.

He took out quite a few Saint Herbs.

"Senior, this is for you."

The Yao Beast looked at the Saint Herbs Chu Xinghe produced, its eyes filled with disdain.

"Is this all the trash you have?"

The others had originally wanted to take out Saint Herbs, but upon hearing the Yao Beast call them trash,

they didn't know what to offer instead.

Chu Xinghe, however, was resourceful.

He wondered if he could think of another way.

Chu Xinghe took a deep breath; he knew there might be some danger ahead.

It was a risky, suicidal move.

"Senior, the reason there are so many corpses here is likely because this is a battlefield, and you cannot leave this place."

"There is an Opportunity here itself. Why hasn't Senior obtained it?"

Hearing Chu Xinghe's words, the Yao Beast stared at him.

"What Opportunity could there be here?"

Chu Xinghe didn't believe it.

There must be an Opportunity here.

Furthermore, he could vaguely discern something.

This was not the Yao Beast's true form.

"Senior Yao Beast, don't you want to restore your true form?"

Hearing Chu Xinghe's telepathic message,

the Yao Beast did not answer immediately.

It turned its gaze toward the other four people.

"Do you have anything to offer me? Take it out quickly, or I will eat you."

The four people glanced at Chu Xinghe.

Chu Xinghe gave them a look that said he couldn't help them.

Helpless, the four people handed over their Storage Rings.

Their possessions were nothing compared to their lives.

The rings floated beside the Yao Beast.

After looking at them, it snorted.

The rings flew back into their hands.

"You few are somewhat obedient. Get out."

The Yao Beast snorted coldly.

The few people turned into streams of light and flew off in different directions.

Only Chu Xinghe remained where he was.

The Yao Beast's giant eyes stared at Chu Xinghe.

"You are not the person I am looking for."

Hearing this, the corners of Chu Xinghe's mouth curled up.

"Of course I know I am not the person Senior is looking for. The person Senior is looking for is right here in this Secret Realm."

"And I know him. But can Senior be sure he can save you and get you out?"

The Yao Beast was silent for a moment.

"How did you see that I am incomplete?"

The Yao Beast looked at Chu Xinghe; this guy was not strong at all.

Yet he could actually tell this was not its true form.

"If I am not mistaken, Senior, your Bloodline has been extracted."

Chu Xinghe changed his way of answering.

The Yao Beast did not speak, its eyes full of chill.

And even killing intent.

"The person Senior followed must have been a Great Emperor, right?"

The Yao Beast's pupils shifted, and it scrutinized Chu Xinghe seriously.

"Kid, you are very smart, and very bold. But this will also be your undoing."

"How long has it been since I heard the words 'Great Emperor'? It has been a long time. Great Emperors are immortal and indestructible; they are the rulers of this Grand Void Heaven Realm."

Before the Yao Beast could finish speaking,

Chu Xinghe shook his head.

"Senior, Junior must correct you on one point: Great Emperors can also die."

The Yao Beast's pupils shifted.

"Heh, how could a Great Emperor die? Every Great Emperor is a darling of this world."

The corners of Chu Xinghe's mouth curled up.

"What if this world has changed?"

The Yao Beast fell silent.

This time, it did not refute him.

Chu Xinghe thought to himself, 'As expected.'

This Yao Beast knew many things.

Its Bloodline had been extracted.

It could no longer remember many things.

In its impression, the Great Emperor was still an invincible existence.

"Senior, how about we cooperate?"

"I help you regain your Bloodline, and you help me obtain the Opportunity?"

The Yao Beast shook its head.

"Without that object, the Opportunity in this place cannot be taken."

Chu Xinghe flicked his finger.

A palm-sized coffin appeared in his hand.

Upon seeing it, the Yao Beast's pupils contracted.

Its giant eyes were filled with disbelief.

It leaned close to the coffin.

After looking at the dao rhyme on it,

its eyes were filled with greed.

But it quickly vanished.

"I didn't expect this thing to still exist. I searched for a long time and couldn't find it. So it was on you, kid."

Chu Xinghe raised his eyebrows.

"Does Senior need this thing?"

The Yao Beast shook its head.

"I like this thing, but this thing has no fate with me. Some things cannot be forced, or you will easily get yourself killed."

"Although I have memory loss now, I have some impression that someone died for this thing back then. If I am not mistaken, it should have been a Great Emperor."

Chu Xinghe's expression shifted.

Could it be that Yue Wuyou, that Great Emperor Reincarnation, is because of this coffin?

Then what secrets does this coffin contain?

Just hearing the name, it doesn't sound simple.

Chu Xinghe hadn't carefully investigated it yet.

He didn't know its specific function.

He only knew it could currently be used as a defensive Magic Treasure.

"You being able to obtain this thing might mean you are not the person I am waiting for, but I am willing to give you a chance, and give myself a chance."

"I also want to know why I am trapped in this dark, sunless place—one year, ten years, a hundred years, ten thousand years—until I don't know how much time has passed."

Chu Xinghe looked at the Yao Beast's body.

He discovered it had dense scars.

It seemed this Yao Beast had tried to commit suicide.

Even a Yao Beast of this level could not endure this torture.

After speaking, the Yao Beast grabbed Chu Xinghe and placed him on its shoulder.

"Let's go. I will take you to see."

The Yao Beast walked inside step by step.

"Senior, was this place called Yin Mountain before?"

The Yao Beast shook its head.

"This place belongs to Yin Mountain, yet it does not belong to Yin Mountain."

"If my memory serves me correctly, this was formed by a fragment that broke off."

"Even just this fragment contains other worlds within it."

"I have been trapped here for too long. Today, I wanted to try and see if I could walk out, but as soon as I appeared, I was pulled back."

"I still cannot leave this place."

"After waiting for so many years, for the chance to see the light of day again, I do not want to continue waiting."

"I know that luring outsiders in might result in death, but I am willing to try."

"Waiting here is worse than death."

"I have committed suicide countless times, but each time I would automatically heal. This place is like a special Restriction that prevents me from dying."

Chu Xinghe's eyes showed surprise.

This place has this effect?

"I advise you not to try. It might also have to do with me. I have lost my memory and do not remember my identity."

Chu Xinghe nodded.

Besides, he wouldn't actively take risks to seek death.

The way of death is not pleasant.

The Yao Beast stepped on the bones.

Making a creaking sound.

"Senior, did you create all these corpses?"

The Yao Beast shook its head.

"When I woke up, these corpses were already here."

"This must have been a battlefield back then."
