570: Chapter 573 Oh no, I'm being watched!

Lu Chen stared at him coldly.

His gaze was icy.

As if weighing whether this Demon Race creature should be killed or spared.

Bokona felt his heart pound uncontrollably.

The fear originating from the depths of his Soul almost devoured him.

"You are already a Fifty-Dimensional Lifeform. Tell me, outside of this Origin Dimension, how many more Realms are there?"

"What is the level of the strongest existence currently?"

Lu Chen's tone carried a hint of curiosity.

Although his previous life self had become immensely powerful, he had never stepped beyond the boundaries of the Origin Dimension.

The world outside was an entirely unknown Domain to him.

He had once attempted to explore the limits of the Origin Dimension.

But he discovered that this space was vast beyond measure, seemingly endless.

"Replying to Your Excellency, the strongest known existence outside is named the Trans-Dimensional Lord."

"They are all supreme experts at the Eighty-Dimensional Lifeform level."

"As for whether there are higher levels of life above the Trans-Dimensional Lord, this humble one does not know."

"After all, the Dimensions are boundless; perhaps there are, perhaps there are not."

Bokona fell silent immediately after saying this.

"Hand over your Origin and become my slave."

"With your strength, you might be useful in the future."

"Serve me well. If you prove sufficiently loyal, I will bestow upon you the Physical Body of a Sixty-Fourth Dimensional expert... the very body that all factions are currently scrambling to obtain."

Upon hearing this, Bokona immediately began kowtowing frantically, drawing blood from his forehead.

To be able to serve an existence stronger than the Trans-Dimensional Lord—this was an immense fortune; how could he possibly miss it?

"Master! This humble one asks for no reward; being able to serve by your side is the greatest honor of this life!"

Before his words faded,

He unhesitatingly offered up all of his Origin to Lu Chen.

The Demon Race possessed an innate instinct to submit to the strong.

Bokona felt that he had finally found the meaning of life.

Before this, the reason he considered ruling this "Tomb" and becoming a hegemon

Was merely because he had lived too long and was too bored and lonely.

His kin

Were either slaughtered entirely by external forces,

Or suppressed tightly, never to rise again for eternity.

"Do your job well, and rewards will naturally not be lacking for you. It is settled then."

"Now, get out and fulfill the wager of the Origin Contract."

"Also, keep an eye on that woman..."

"Although she is a Forty-Dimensional Lifeform, she carries several extremely powerful treasures on her person."

Lu Chen waved his hand, signaling him to withdraw.

Bokona bowed respectfully and deeply.

Only then did he turn and exit the Sea of Origin.

All the conversation between the two just now

Was completely transmitted into Lu Chen's memory,

Allowing him to understand everything that had just occurred.

After Bokona left,

The 'Origin Lu Chen' looked up into the distance, his gaze profound.

"Trans-Dimensional Lord, huh? I would very much like to meet these so-called strong ones."

...Outside World

On the training ground, everyone's gaze was focused on Lin Fan and Lu Chen.

The two had been confronting each other for quite some time but had made no move.

Just as someone could not resist urging them on,

The two finally moved.

Lin Fan was seen collapsing onto the ground.

While Lu Chen still stood tall, his bearing proud.

The victor and loser were already clear at a glance.

Elder Tuotian revealed a brilliant smile.

The Origin Sacred Hall had won this wager!

Lu Chen truly had not disappointed him.

Conversely, the Guardian from the Ancient Heavenly God Clan

Had a face so grim it looked like water could drip from it.

He had been completely confident in Lin Fan's victory earlier.

After all, having received guidance from the Ancient Dimensional Demon God,

His speed in comprehending the Origin far surpassed ordinary people.

What reason did he have to doubt Lin Fan's strength?

But the result was a harsh slap to his face.

Lin Fan was currently collapsed on the ground, utterly defeated.

The Ancient Heavenly God Clan had consequently missed the opportunity to curry favor with that expert from beyond the Origin Dimension.

Elder Tuotian walked up to the old man from the Ancient Heavenly God Clan.

He said with a beaming smile:

"This child, Lin Fan, let our Origin Sacred Hall handle his discipline. Your Excellency need not worry."

The old man's face twitched violently; he was so angry he almost cursed out loud on the spot.

But in front of so many people,

He could only let out a cold snort, his face ashen, and storm off.

"Who else wishes to challenge me?"

"How about this: I just won five Origin Divine Fruits from Elder Tuotian. Why don't I use these five Divine Fruits as the wager?"

"As long as someone can defeat me, these five Divine Fruits belong to them."

"However, the challenger must also put up something equivalent in value to one Origin Divine Fruit as a stake."

Lu Chen held a faint smile on his lips and spoke loudly:

"How about it? Do you dare to gamble?"

"Or perhaps, from now on, you will acknowledge me as the undisputed leader of the new generation?"

"You can also come at me all at once, but each person must provide the corresponding stake."

The crowd below gnashed their teeth,

Their gazes toward Lu Chen filled with rage.

This bastard was too arrogant!

He just defeated the Saint of the Ancient Heavenly God Clan, took him as a slave, and now he wants to take advantage of the situation to fleece their resources!

"We are not afraid of you! However, considering you are the Saint of the Origin Sacred Hall, we will give you some face."

"Since that is the case, the five of us will go up together!"

A youth shouted righteously from the crowd.

Everyone present cast looks of admiration toward him.

"Big Brother, you are amazing! Your skin is even thicker than the Thirty-Sixth Dimensional Layer! I admire you so much that I prostrate myself; please take me as your follower!"

The youth's cheeks instantly flushed red; he wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

But the temptation of those five Origin Divine Fruits was too great.

He simply could not resist.

Lu Chen was also speechless for a moment, then chuckled lightly, asking in return:

"That's fine. But what stakes can you put up?"

"The five of us will each put up one Origin Divine Fruit—five against five, a fair duel!"

"Don't think that just because there are more of us, we are trying to bully you or take advantage of you!"

The youth said, forcing himself to speak, attempting to salvage some dignity.

"No problem. You can make your move whenever you are ready."

Lu Chen replied faintly.

Immediately following this, five figures leaped out from the crowd and landed on the training ground.

They came from different God Races and were all Four-Dimensional Lifeform experts.

Moreover, they were all formidable characters who had condensed the fourth Dimensional Seal above the fifteenth layer of the Ascension Tower.

It was no wonder they were so confident.

As soon as the words fell,

The five attacked Lu Chen simultaneously with perfect coordination.

Judging by their teamwork, they clearly knew each other well and had sparred together often.

Lu Chen chose to confront them head-on and did not use his full strength.

Seeing this, many in the audience felt that these five might actually win.

Quite a few people secretly regretted not having rushed forward earlier.

After a fierce entanglement, Lu Chen finally "laboriously" defeated the five, taking their five Origin Divine Fruits into his possession as well.
