334: Chapter 334 Purple Moon

Time flew by like a white stallion passing through a gap, with days slipping away one after another.

During this period, those elites hailed by the world as young Prodigies were being slaughtered continuously; once high-spirited and ambitious, they had all now become terrified and uneasy.

Many Prodigies felt timid and wanted to return home, but at the thought that such a peerlessly powerful existence might be enraged by it, they hesitated and dared not act rashly.

However, as the death toll rose, fear gradually gained the upper hand.

Finally, some young Prodigies could no longer bear this immense pressure and resolutely chose to flee the terrifying place that was the Main City of Myriad Realms.

When others saw that someone could actually escape successfully, they followed suit like grasping at a final straw, fleeing this great city they had once yearned for.

Facing the departure of so many young Prodigies, Cao Yang did not step in to stop them.

Even as those Children of Destiny who bore the mandate of heaven fled in a steady stream, he remained indifferent.

In fact, for Cao Yang, the flight of these young Prodigies could actually be considered a good thing.

Firstly, this allowed him to save a large amount of top-grade source crystals and chaos stones; one must know that to invite these so-called Prodigies, he had promised to pay a considerable price.

Secondly, out of sight, out of mind—after all, he had personally slain far too many Children of Destiny, to the point where now, as soon as those Children of Destiny saw him, they would naturally develop an indescribable feeling of loathing.

This situation was not caused by any person, but was influenced by the power of the Heavenly Dao in the dark.

Speaking of the beginning, when Cao Yang issued the notice, he specifically requested that the young Prodigies come together to attend the ball.

The reason was simple: if he only invited those peerless beauties, they would likely become suspicious, fearing the ball harbored hidden schemes or was a trap, and thus be too wary to keep the appointment.

It was out of this consideration that Cao Yang decided to include the young Prodigies in the invitation list.

However, Cao Yang had no intention of letting those Children of Destiny who took the opportunity to escape off the hook.

He had already firmly memorized each person's unique aura.

Whenever he had free time and could spare his hands, he would perform that terrifying Heart Curse Technique.

At that time, it would be as easy as turning over a hand to effortlessly obliterate these fleeing Children of Destiny.

In this way, he could harvest a staggering number of sign-in opportunities.

As the young Prodigies chose to flee the city one after another, the originally chaotic situation within the city gradually stabilized.

At the same time, due to the reduction in personnel, many places in the city became vacant, no longer as overcrowded as before.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, an entire month had gone by.

During this time, Cao Yang focused intently on his cultivation to consolidate his Realm, finally succeeding in stabilizing it completely.

Just then, the invited Prodigies continued to pour into the city in a steady stream.

However, at this moment, not a single young male Prodigy could be seen boarding the ships; they were replaced entirely by peerless beauties.

Perhaps because the news of the young Prodigies being slaughtered had spread far and wide, other young male Prodigies felt timid upon hearing it and dared not come rashly anymore.

However, the number of women whose Aptitude could be called Heaven-Defying and whose appearances were peerlessly beautiful became increasingly scarce.

Perhaps having heard of the slaughter of the young Prodigies, they felt wary and anxious, and thus did not dare to easily set foot here.

Despite this, people still arrived one after another even to this day.

But the vast majority of these women could not meet the standards and requirements set by Cao Yang.

But even facing such a situation, Cao Yang still chose to continue waiting.

This was only because there were still two full months until the Goddess Yuer of the Wanjie Pavilion would arrive to hold the Seven-Colored Assembly.

Cao Yang had already successfully stabilized his cultivation base completely and used his powerful Divine Sense to scan and investigate.

The result showed that many women were currently immersed in bitter cultivation, and only that quirky little girl A Yinggu could no longer restrain her nature, slipping out of the city alone to play and frolic.

Fortunately, A Yinggu was not alone; not only was the loyal Hong Yi following closely by her side, but there was also that small yet incredibly capable bird, Tian Qing, whose strength was unfathomable, guarding her.

As such, Cao Yang did not need to worry too much about A Yinggu's personal safety.

Cao Yang sneakily slipped out of the majestic and solemn Heavenly Emperor Hall, his footsteps light as if he were afraid of waking a sleeping Dragon within the hall.

He secretly calculated in his heart: while the women were all in secluded cultivation and had no time to attend to other things, he had to seize the moment to quietly win over a few world-toppling beauties first.

At this time, in a private room of a luxurious restaurant on the main city street, a remarkable scene was unfolding.

A young girl with purple hair cascading down like a waterfall sat quietly in the private room.

Her appearance was peerless, with skin like snow, eyebrows like distant mountains, eyes like autumn waters, and vermilion lips red without adornment.

At this moment, she was elegantly savoring the fragrant aroma emitted by a cup of top-grade tea.

Opposite this peerless woman sat another equally striking figure—an invincible powerhouse at the Early Stage of the Source Emperor Realm.

This woman had a graceful and curvaceous figure, and her every frown and smile radiated endless charm.

That face was even more like a Fairy descended to the mortal world, beautiful enough to take one's breath away.

The purple-haired peerless girl gently placed the exquisite teacup on the table, her small, cherry-red lips parting slightly.

She let out a crisp, pleasant, and heart-stirring voice: "Aunt Wan, do you think I have a chance to be taken as a Disciple by that super powerhouse who stands above the Source Emperor?"

Between her words, a hint of anticipation and unease was revealed.

The beautiful young woman called Aunt Wan heard this, and a gentle smile bloomed on her face, as warm and kind as the spring sun.

She gently patted the girl's hand and comforted her with full trust: "Yue'er, you must not overthink it. With your outstanding natural talent and extraordinary gifts, that mysterious powerhouse will certainly look upon you with favor, so rest assured!"

"But my Aptitude and talent are still a notch below Bao Yuer of the Wanjie Pavilion.

This really cannot be considered a Heaven-Defying talent; it can only be said to be mediocre.

Moreover, besides our Number Three Source Universe, in the remaining nine Source Universes, there also exist several Prodigies whose talents are not at all inferior to mine.

In this way, the hope of me standing out and being favored by that powerhouse is not great!"

Zi Yue gently shook her head, and a faint look of worry involuntarily surfaced on that peerless face.

In her eyes, which were as clear as autumn waters, there was now nothing but confusion.

All along, she had been filled with endless yearning for the mysteries contained above the Source Emperor Realm.

Especially after hearing various legends about that peerless powerhouse who guarded the entire Great Universe, her heart craved that terrifyingly powerful strength even more.

She looked forward immensely to one day personally experiencing the elegance of the Realm above the Source Emperor and feeling that power that transcended the Source Emperor.
