40: Ao Haotian, devastated by the robbery, and Xu Jinhuan, who rebelled against the Heavenly Gang.

His heart skipped a beat.

"Who's there?!"

Ao Haotian's expression changed drastically. He whipped his head around, and when he saw that familiar, handsome face, his pupils constricted suddenly.

A figure in white appeared outside the grand Formation as if taking a leisurely stroll in a courtyard.

It was none other than Xu Jinhuan!

"How did you find this place again?!"

Ao Haotian was both shocked and enraged. Even though he had already activated the grand Formation in the Pill Refining Room, seeing Xu Jinhuan still filled him with an inexplicable sense of panic.

This guy was simply too bizarre; he had been intercepted so many times that it had left him with a psychological shadow!

"Hmph! Human ant, don't waste your energy!"

Ao Haotian quickly regained his composure, returning to a state of indifference and calm.

Looking at the light barrier around him and then at Xu Jinhuan outside, a flash of disdain and mockery crossed his eyes.

"Do you see this? This is the Great Manor-Protecting Formation of Senior Saint Demon King."

"Even experts of the God Realm cannot break it. You, a mere pipsqueak in the Life and Death Realm, think you can break in? Utterly delusional!"

"Hahaha, I'll see how you try to snatch my Opportunity this time!"

In response, Xu Jinhuan merely smiled faintly, a golden light shimmering in his eyes.

Double Pupil Technique, activate!

Instantly, the entire Formation was laid bare before him, every flaw visible to his eyes.

Since it was already a damaged grand Formation, he easily found a path through.

He stepped forward and walked straight into the grand Formation.

Turning left and right, moving forward and back, he passed directly through.

That pale golden light barrier, which even God Realm experts could not breach, was like non-existent before him.

Completely unscathed throughout, Xu Jinhuan strolled into the Pill Refining Room as if taking a walk in a courtyard.

It was as effortless and natural as walking through his own back garden.

In the blink of an eye, he stood before Ao Haotian with a smile on his face.

It was as if he were meeting an old friend he hadn't seen in a long time.

???

Seeing Xu Jinhuan in front of him, the smile on Ao Haotian's face froze instantly. His pupils shrank, and his whole body went stiff, as if he had seen a ghost.

What drove him even further into despair was...

Liu Changxi, Fang Qingyao, and Su Zihan followed closely behind, entering the Pill Refining Room as well.

The grand Formation he had worked so hard to activate at the cost of his essence blood...

Was actually completely useless!

At this moment, Ao Haotian's Dao Heart almost collapsed!

"Damn! This... how is this possible?!"

He truly could not understand what kind of monster this human brat was!

To even be able to ignore a Saint-Grade Formation?!

Ignoring his shock, Xu Jinhuan had already swept all the treasures in the Pill Refining Room into his possession.

His movements were smooth as flowing water, completed in one go.

Just like the previous two times.

Inept husband X3... "F*ck! Can't you pick someone else to fleece?!"

Ao Haotian could no longer restrain himself. He let out a roar of despair, his towering rage piercing the clouds as he trembled with fury.

In fact, his eyes were already brimming with tears, looking as if he were about to cry.

He had truly been driven to a breakdown by Xu Jinhuan's interceptions!

"From the Saint Heart Grass to the Roc Essence Blood, and now you even want to steal the Saint Pills! Xu Jinhuan, you are no son of man!"

He suddenly drew the Blood Dragon Bone Sword from his back. The half-god power within his body surged wildly as he prepared to lung at Xu Jinhuan to kill him.

Intercepted three times in a row.

He couldn't take it anymore; he was going to blow up at this bastard!

However, this strike fueled by rage was effortlessly blocked by Xu Jinhuan.

"Little Loach, I know you're anxious, but don't be anxious just yet."

Xu Jinhuan raised a hand to signal him to calm down, saying with a smile.

"The Opportunities in this Pill Refining Room are good, but they are merely secondary. In the core area of the Secret Realm, there is the Saint Demon King's intrinsic divine soul and Legacy; those are the true great Opportunities."

"If you fight me to the death now and we both end up injured, losing the qualification to compete for the final Legacy, wouldn't that be more loss than gain?"

"Since the things here have already fallen into my hands, why don't you go to the core area and look around?"

"Perhaps you can snatch even better treasures. At that time, wouldn't it be better for us to have a final showdown?"

Hearing these words that turned the natural order upside down,

Ao Haotian's movements suddenly halted. The fire in his eyes gradually faded as his intellect reclaimed the high ground.

Reminded by Xu Jinhuan, he finally remembered that he possessed a massive advantage regarding the Saint Demon King's Legacy; there was no need to rush now.

This bastard's words indeed made sense.

The Saint Demon King's intrinsic divine soul and Legacy were the greatest Opportunities in the grand tomb!

If he fought to the death here and missed the core Opportunity, that would be a truly massive loss.

But the problem was, why did this feel so strange and so unpleasant?

"Thanks for the reminder."

Unable to figure out what was wrong, Ao Haotian could only glare resentfully at Xu Jinhuan and leave in a huff.

"You, surnamed Xu, I'll let you go this once."

"The next time we meet, I will definitely tear you into ten thousand pieces to avenge today's grudge!"

As his voice fell, he stayed no longer, turning into a golden stream of light and fleeing toward the core area of the Secret Realm without looking back.

It wasn't until he was tens of millions of miles away that he suddenly realized something.

"Wait! Weren't those supposed to be my lines?"

"How did that bastard steal them too?!"

...Back at the original spot, The Three Women watched the scene of Ao Haotian being bamboozled by Xu Jinhuan, all of them covering their mouths and giggling.

My Lord/Young Master is simply too interesting!

Not only has he awakened a mysterious Physique suspected to be the Chaos Body and possesses unparalleled talent,

But he is also wickedly clever!

That Golden Jiao had his things stolen and his Opportunity snatched, yet before leaving, he even said 'thank you' to my Lord/Young Master.

Such a man is simply a nightmare for all his enemies!

"Fortunately, I can see the future and know my Lord's terrifying potential, so I decisively chose to follow him!"

Fang Qingyao felt a secret joy in her heart.

"Fortunately, I fell in love with Young Master at first sight and bravely pursued love!"

Liu Changxi looked proud.

Only Su Zihan felt an increasing shock deep in her eyes.

Xu Jinhuan's method of ignoring a Saint-Grade Formation and directly finding its flaws just now had already surpassed her understanding!

At the same time, her heart felt increasingly bitter.

"Although this man is perfect in every way, to me, he is like the moon—visible but unreachable..."

Seeing Ao Haotian far away, Xu Jinhuan waved his hand and distributed all those half-saint medicines among The Three Women.

He had experimented and found that half-saint medicines had no effect on Awakening his Physique.

Among them, Fang Qingyao and Liu Changxi took the lion's share, while Su Zihan was given a few stalks as a symbolic gesture.

Even so, Su Zihan cast a grateful look at Xu Jinhuan.

After all, she hadn't done anything.

"Thank you, sequence!"

Su Zihan bowed to express her gratitude.

"Thank you, Young Master/My Lord!"

Fang Qingyao and Liu Changxi went even further, hugging him and kissing Xu Jinhuan on his left and right cheeks respectively.

Giving away seven or eight half-saint medicines just like that—this man was simply more generous than their own fathers!

"Alright, alright. Hurry up and digest them to improve your strength. There will be a fierce battle when the Saint Demon King's divine soul appears."

"You can also explore the surroundings to find Opportunities and get prepared."

Xu Jinhuan said with a smile.

However, his tone became slightly more serious.

"I have a premonition that the moment for the final battle is not far off."

...Half an hour later, Fang Qingyao secretly walked out of the Pill Refining Room, her face filled with uncontrollable wild joy.

"I finally found an Opportunity with a side effect!"
