85: These are all the spoils of war of this divine child!

"How is this possible!"

Zhou Chen looked at the broken Formation Plate in his hand, greatly astonished.

This was a reward he had obtained from the trial.

Chu Changge actually broke it so easily?

Zhou Chen couldn't believe such a result.

At this moment, those who had been forced to hand over their rewards by his Formation, seeing their reliance disappear, all became emboldened.

"Zhou Chen, give This Zhou's things back, and This Zhou might consider not killing you, but merely crippling your cultivation!"

"Zhou Chen, return the items to This Divine Son, and This Divine Son might consider leaving you a complete corpse!"

'...'

A chorus of angry shouts arose, and Zhou Chen's expression grew increasingly grim.

He glared at Chu Changge.

"Damn bastard, This Zhou should have killed you first!"

Zhou Chen's face was extremely unsightly.

However, he was not without other contingencies.

He had many contingencies; as soon as he ascended the Chaos Divine Mountain, he used the Heavenly Secret Pavilion to deduce the existence of an ancient Formation, and he had completely mastered this Formation before the trial!

Originally, with the Great Blood Refining Array Formation, he thought that ancient Formation was no longer needed.

However, now it seemed that using that Formation now was just right.

"You all forced This Zhou!"

Zhou Chen said coldly.

He could control the Great Blood Refining Array Formation, decide people's life and death, and control it perfectly.

But for this ancient Formation, he only knew it was a killing Formation, and most importantly, he couldn't stably control this Formation.

Zhou Chen didn't hesitate, directly activating that ancient Formation.

Boom!!!

The bloody light barrier that originally enveloped the Chaos Divine Mountain now transformed into a black light barrier, with various profound golden runes suspended in the air, emitting waves of power.

The previously arrogant crowd was once again suppressed to the ground.

"What kind of Formation is this? How does this Zhou Chen have so many tricks!"

Someone said through gritted teeth. Just as they were about to snatch back their items, they didn't expect Zhou Chen to use another one of his contingencies.

"This is an ancient killing Formation, filled with murderous intent. Everyone, be careful!"

Xiao Changsheng finally moved at this time, his face serious as he stared at this ancient killing Formation, reminding everyone.

"An ancient killing Formation? Damn it, just destroyed a Great Blood Refining Array Formation, how did another ancient Formation appear? Everyone, whoever among you is skilled in Formation, quickly make a move and destroy this Formation!"

"Mad! This is an ancient Formation, from a distant era. How can ordinary people like us come into contact with such ancient Formations?"

"Divine Son Chu, he has a way, he must have a way! He just broke the Great Blood Refining Array Formation, he must still have a way to break this ancient killing Formation!"

'...'

The crowd quickly placed their hopes on Chu Changge.

After all, when everyone was helpless against the Great Blood Refining Array Formation just now, he appeared like a savior, acting without regard for his own failure to break the Great Blood Refining Array Formation.

This act of righteousness made them once again place their hopes on Chu Changge.

They hoped he could act again like before and break this ancient Formation.

Zhou Chen was currently outside the ancient killing Formation, looking in from the outside.

He could clearly see people inside constantly kneeling and wailing, begging for mercy.

Zhou Chen looked triumphant.

"Chu Changge, This Zhou has bad news for you. This Zhou doesn't have the ability to control this ancient killing Formation. You'd best hand over the items before This Zhou fully activates it!"

"That way, This Zhou might still consider giving you a chance to live. Otherwise, once the ancient killing Formation is fully activated, this killing Formation won't be like before, where This Zhou wants someone to die, and they die. Instead, all of you will die!"

"..."

Zhou Chen's words reached inside the Formation, and upon hearing them, these people...

One by one, they changed their tune and urged Chu Changge.

"Divine Son Chu, why don't you just give the trial rewards to Zhou Chen first? After we get out, we'll have our respective Families and forces jointly condemn the Heavenly Secret Pavilion and Zhou Chen!"

"That's right! Divine Son Chu, why don't you listen to Zhou Chen? Anyway, so many of us have already given him the rewards, it won't be a loss of face for you to give them to him too!"

'...'

These people all had their own thoughts.

They had given away the trial rewards they received, so why shouldn't you, the Divine Son of the Chu Family, have to give yours?

Seeing Zhou Chen pressuring Chu Changge, they also chimed in with their advice.

Chu Changge was currently looking at the ancient killing Formation, searching for its core.

Listening to these voices, he frowned.

"A bunch of good-for-nothings!"

It seemed that after dealing with Zhou Chen, he wouldn't return those people's trial rewards to them after all.

Chu Changge silently mused in his heart.

Originally, he had thought of dealing with Zhou Chen and then being a good person, returning these trial rewards to them.

But now it seemed completely superfluous.

The surrounding crowd, being called good-for-nothings by Chu Changge, all looked extremely displeased.

But due to his status, they didn't dare to act out.

They just continued to stand by, offering advice to Chu Changge with a facade of being concerned for his well-being.

"Found it!"

Chu Changge ignored them. He quickly found the core of this ancient killing Formation.

Zhou Chen, outside the Formation, saw the strange look in Chu Changge's eyes.

He immediately had a bad premonition.

"Oh no, this guy actually found the core of the ancient killing Formation?"

"It seems This Zhou can't hold back anymore; This Zhou needs to deal with him quickly!"

Zhou Chen activated the Formation without hesitation.

Since Chu Changge was unwilling to proactively hand over the trial rewards, then he would just have to take them from him himself!

But just as the ancient killing Formation was activated by him...

The terrifying murderous intent only emanated for an instant.

The next second, a loud 'boom' resounded from the ancient killing Formation.

Immediately after, the black light barrier was covered in spiderweb-like cracks, like glass struck by a hammer; with just a light touch, it would instantly shatter!

"Bang!!!"

A figure suddenly rushed out from inside the Formation.

Seeing this, Zhou Chen was about to burn his vital blood and flee the area.

Before he could react, a hand had already gripped his neck.

"Still trying to escape???"

Zhou Chen's face was filled with terror, his expression full of disbelief.

He had once calculated his own fortune, and today was supposed to be extremely auspicious. Why was it that everything he had done so far had not gone smoothly?

"Divine Son Chu, spare This Zhou's life. This Zhou is willing to trade a heaven-shattering secret for This Zhou's life!"

"Secret?"

Chu Changge sneered; he didn't care about any secrets.

His hand suddenly exerted force.

With a 'crack' sound...

Zhou Chen's neck was twisted.

His life force was instantly extinguished.

[Ding! Host has completed Choice Two, obtaining the Emperor Weapon, Chaos Bell!]

[Chaos Bell: A complete Emperor Weapon, capable of suppressing Chaos and imprisoning space-time!]

Chu Changge obtained an Emperor Weapon, and he was very satisfied.

Although with his cultivation, he couldn't fully unleash the complete power of this Emperor Weapon, his Family's Quasi-Emperor Ancestor could! His Family's strength had increased several times, and when they encountered some larger Families in the future, his confidence would be even greater!

At this moment, after he had dealt with Zhou Chen, a group of people who had survived the ordeal gathered around.

Their eyes were fixed on Zhou Chen's corpse, clearly wanting to retrieve their trial rewards.

However, Chu Changge, right in front of them, put all the rewards Zhou Chen had just plundered into his own storage ring.

This action instantly angered the crowd.

"Divine Son Chu, what do you mean by this? These are our trial rewards; please return them to us!"

"Divine Son Chu, thank you for saving our lives, but please return the trial rewards to their rightful owners!"

'...'

Looking at this group of people, Chu Changge said in a very cold tone.

"Get out!"

"There's nothing of yours here! These are all This Divine Son's spoils of war!"
