571: Chapter 571 Northern Ruins

As the words fell, everyone looked up, their eyes widening!

Ten were gone in an instant!

Then, Qin Wushang opened his eyes, and brilliant light erupted from his pupils!

"Ahhh!"

The pupil light swept across, and none of the Saint Venerable Realm cultivators present were spared; they all exploded.

The moment their bodies exploded, their destiny value tokens slowly floated up.

At the same time, their Storage Rings also began to fly out continuously.

Qin Wushang reached out with a large hand and gathered them all.

All the tokens underwent Fusion with his Golden Heavenly Token, and the number on his forehead jumped to 256,370.

Two hundred and fifty thousand!

With this level of destiny value, he was definitely among the top tier in the second round!

"Pfft!"

Leng Wushuang spat out blood as the ancient Ice Phoenix diagram that had appeared on her forehead shattered instantly.

It was gone!

Her life-saving measure had resisted one strike from the Supreme Double Pupils, but it had completely lost its power and become trash.

"To think you still had a life-saving measure; no wonder you were so arrogant."

Qin Wushang landed in front of Leng Wushuang and spoke indifferently.

Being able to withstand the light of the Supreme Double Pupils, she was already someone of note.

After all, this thing was only at the Quasi-Emperor Realm, the same Realm as her.

"You are so ruthless!"

Leng Wushuang said with a gloomy expression.

At this moment, she was frantically circulating her Cultivation Technique to replenish her own losses.

The shattering of that life-saving ancient diagram had caused a not-insignificant backlash.

"Stepping onto this path, everyone is an enemy. There are no friends, only interests."

"Don't you understand this?"

Qin Wushang smiled disdainfully.

The struggle of those in the Emperor Realm is built upon stepping over the corpses of others to grow stronger.

If I don't take their lives now, what if they get lucky, stumble upon some Heaven-Defying Opportunity, and make it to the end? Wouldn't that just be creating trouble for myself?

"I naturally understand that."

"But I do not want to die."

She said, standing up unsteadily.

She wanted to live.

"And so?"

Qin Wushang took a step forward, closing the distance to her.

His vigorous Qi and blood rushed towards her like a furnace, causing Leng Wushuang's delicate body to tremble and her breath to hitch.

"I have a bargaining chip."

She forced herself to remain calm, but her voice was trembling.

"You have just arrived here and surely do not know how to leave this damned place."

"But I know! I can tell you!!!"

"Speak."

Qin Wushang spat out only one word, cold as a blade scraping across a neck.

"You must let me leave. I also know of an Opportunity. If you agree to let me go, I will tell you everything..."

She didn't finish her sentence.

"Ah!"

Qin Wushang raised his hand, his two fingers pinching her chin. Her delicate skin sank under his fingertips, the force so great it felt like it would crush her bones.

Leng Wushuang's face was forced upward; her eyes filled with terror, humiliation, and anger.

"Do you think you have the qualifications to negotiate with me?"

Qin Wushang tilted his head slightly, a sneer curling the corner of his mouth.

He did not loosen his fingers; instead, he tightened them further.

"You, you... I come from the Ancient Emperor Star Domain!"

She said with difficulty, her meaning clear.

She was trying to bring up her backing!

Although the hope of it being effective was slim, she still wanted to try.

"A weak and stupid woman."

Qin Wushang looked into her eyes, mocking her coldly.

"To leave this place, one must obtain the Dao Crystal of this continent."

"This thing appears every once in a while. Obtaining one allows you to tear open the Heavenly Dao blockade and go to other places..."

"When I was in the Saint Venerable Realm, I once saw an old thing in the Quasi-Emperor Realm snatch one, escape, and leave this hellhole!"

"If your destiny value are exhausted and you don't obtain more within three days, you will be frozen to death completely."

Leng Wushuang spoke quickly.

She could be certain that the guy in front of her would not care about her identity at all...

If she was the slightest bit careless, he would really kill her directly.

"And I know... there are ruins appearing in the north of this continent."

Leng Wushuang's voice became hurried; her chin hurt from being pinched, making it difficult to speak.

"An ice and snow palace; that is the coldest place, and it is very likely the source of this continent's cold."

She panted heavily and continued: "The rate of destiny value consumption there is more than ten times that of here! I suspect that the Dao Crystal of this continent might be there."

Qin Wushang's eyes flickered slightly, but the force in his hand did not relax in the slightest.

Leng Wushuang's trip this time was originally to find people to explore that place together.

Unfortunately, along the way, she hadn't encountered many powerful Quasi-Emperor Realm cultivators.

Qin Wushang's appearance was, for her, not necessarily a bad Opportunity.

"You want me to scout the path for you."

Qin Wushang sneered, guessing the thought hidden in her heart at a glance.

"You still have a trump card on you, right? Your intentions are quite vicious."

Leng Wushuang's expression changed instantly.

Not because she was seen through, but because the hand pinching her chin was increasing in force.

"I... I was indeed looking for a few Quasi-Emperor Realm cultivators to explore it together before!"

She defended herself anxiously, her voice changing pitch.

"But after several months, I only met two! One came from the Five Domains and Two Heavens just like you, and she already agreed, but it wasn't enough... I still needed to keep finding people!"

Fine cracks had already appeared on her skull, and the intense pain caused her entire face to twist and distort.

"That place is very strange! One person alone is too weak; we need to join forces!"

She shouted it out almost at the top of her lungs.

Upon hearing the term Five Domains and Two Heavens, Qin Wushang slowly loosened his grip.

"What is the name of the person you are talking about?"

This was something he was slightly interested in.

Leng Wushuang let out a sigh of relief and hurriedly responded: "She calls herself Tianzun... She seemed to be injured and didn't talk much with me... but she agreed that once enough people were gathered, we would explore together."

"Then she left in a hurry, saying that if enough people were gathered within three months, she would wait at the original location!"

Hearing this, Qin Wushang was visibly stunned for a moment.

"Tianzun?"

Qin Wushang raised an eyebrow, his gaze passing over her and landing on an ice peak in the distance.

He hadn't expected that stubborn woman to be here too.

"Turn into an Ice Phoenix."

He withdrew his gaze, looked at Leng Wushuang, and said indifferently.

Leng Wushuang was stunned.

"What?"

Qin Wushang stood with his hands behind his back and continued: "You possess the Primal Phoenix Bloodline, yet you can't even turn into an Ice Phoenix?"

"Skree!"

Leng Wushuang gritted her teeth, spread her hands violently, and a brilliant icy blue light erupted from her body.

Wings grew wildly, her body towered, and in the blink of an eye, a gigantic Ice Phoenix flapped its wings, soared into the sky, and shrieked.

The cold air covered the sky and earth, and the entire snowfield trembled.

"Where are we going?"

She asked.

"To find Tianzun! To the ruins you mentioned."

Qin Wushang said.

"But... including you, we only have four Quasi-Emperor Realm cultivators. Will that work?"

Before Leng Wushuang could finish her sentence, she felt a great mountain land on her back.

As a Prodigy of the Ancient Emperor Star and the former daughter of the Heavenly Mandate Great Emperor, being used as a means of transport...

This was a humiliation!

But she didn't dare to even make a sound!

"Three are enough; we don't need more people."
