NOVPUBThose who had come out from the second challenge were mostly aware of the situation.
The mood was naturally self-explanatory.
When everyone had emerged, the entire gladiator arena suddenly began to shake.
The bent horns that surrounded the area each projected a beam of black light that soared into the sky.
As the light reached towards the heavens, it shrouded the entire firmament above.
Suddenly, a line of text appeared in the sky.
"The final battle, kill everyone. The last survivor will receive the legacy."
Upon seeing these words, the faces of most people turned ugly.
Many even felt as though they had been toyed with; the numb slaughter of the first challenge, and the second even causing many to falter in their spiritual resolve, only to find in the end, only one could live.
At this moment, many people were looking at Xu Zimei.
After all, he was the strongest here and most likely to acquire the legacy.
"Brother Xu, you’re not seriously considering…?" even Hao Chen beside him looked at Xu Zimei with some wariness, managing a strained smile.
"Although I do not care about the life or death of you people, I also do not wish to be led by the nose," Xu Zimei said.
"So what do we do now?" Hao Chen sighed.
"We’re all trapped here with no way out. Had I known that a legacy would be so risky, I would never have come."
Xu Zimei laughed and shook his head, as the inheritor of the God of Slaughter, one should have been aware before entering.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I’m only going to say this once, listen carefully," Xu Zimei looked at everyone present.
He spoke loudly, "I will open this barrier. You must leave at once and not touch the legacy.
Anyone who dares to question my words will have no one but themselves to blame for my lack of courtesy."
"My lord, rest assured, as desirable as the legacy is, one must be alive to claim it," a Loose Cultivator hastily said from the side.
"Right now, we just want to survive, nothing else matters."
Xu Zimei nodded slightly, and with a wave of his right hand, Chaos emerged from the Space Gate.
Five Steps to Immortality,
One-Step Mysterious Immortal,
Two Steps Heavenly Immortal,
Three Steps Immortal King,
Four Steps Undying Immortal,
Five Steps Extreme Immortal.
Chaos too had advanced from Profound Immortal to Heavenly Immortal.
When his imposing Monster Beast might swept through, everyone present instantly turned pale.
"A Monster Beast in the Stepping into Immortality realm," someone stammered.
"Just who is this guy? We in the Tianluan Domain have never heard of such a being. Could it be that he’s a Talented Disciple from some other domain?"
The crowd was abuzz with speculation, yet none dared to move forward, quickly retreating to the edges of the gladiator arena.
Chaos lifted a paw, as its overwhelming beastly might spread out like the sea, and with a light roar, it slammed forcefully onto the barrier.
The barrier "boom" shuddered slightly but did not break.
Chaos’s gaze intensified, and at that moment, its wings, which could obscure the sky and sun, slightly closed in.
A black hole formed at its belly.
Within this black hole, red-purple Thunderbolt crackled and snapped, electric arcs filled the space, and it seemed as though a great terror was brewing within.
At that moment, the Spiritual Energy around Chaos surged, and an extremely purple, almost red Thunderbolt Torrent erupted forth.
Thunderbolts shattered through layers of space, like shockwaves, they boomed against the barrier.
A series of explosive sounds of "rumbling" arose overhead, followed by a "crack, crack" from within the barrier.
One after another, cracks began to appear.
Chaos roared lightly, "Break," and with a "boom," the vast barrier instantly shattered into pieces and drifted apart.
Right in front of the fragmented barrier stood a platform.
Above the platform floated three items wrapped in light, and beside the platform was a throne.
On the throne sat skeletal remains, the bones were red, and the clothes had completely decayed.
The skeleton sat there, with a sword in its left hand thrusting into the ground, a scene that was heart-stoppingly striking.
Before anyone could react, a figure suddenly flew upwards toward the three glowing orbs on the platform.
Everyone hastily looked and saw that it was Luo Shengqing, the Saintess of the Long River Immortal Sect.
"You are the first to dare to snatch treasures in front of me," Xu Zimei said with a light laugh.
As Luo Shengqing’s figure was about to reach the platform, Chaos’s huge hand pressed down, sealing off the entire space.
The moment the great hand pressed down, Luo Shengqing was also suppressed on the spot, unable to move.
Just then, from Luo Shengqing’s Storage Ring, suddenly a leaf flew out.
The moment the leaf appeared, Luo Shengqing’s figure darted through space, evading Chaos’s suppression, and appeared beside the platform.
"Void Leaf," Xu Zimei’s gaze slightly hardened, he said with a smile, "So you were prepared."
The Void Leaf came from Void Valley, although less effective than Void Wood, it still possessed the ability to traverse space.
Even the suppression of a Stepping into Immortality strong practitioner couldn’t withstand the space-breaking power.
Seeing this, just as Luo Shengqing was about to sweep the three orbs of light into her Storage Ring, Bai Meng, who was hidden in the darkness, received Xu Zimei’s instruction.
He personally acted to seal off that piece of space.
Under Bai Meng’s seal, the extent of the space encased made it unbreakable even for the Void Leaf.
Just as Luo Shengqing was about to succeed, she was abruptly frozen in place, unable to move her body no matter how much she struggled.
Droplets of cold sweat trickled down her forehead.
"I’ve said before, I never give a second chance," Xu Zimei spoke calmly, "Kill her."
Chaos’s claw fell, aiming a swipe at Luo Shengqing, who was about to be obliterated within its grasp.
However, a great power suddenly burst from around her, shaking off Chaos’s claw, and turning into a streak of light, she made a disgraceful escape.
"As expected of the Saintess of the Long River Immortal Sect, so well protected," Xu Zimei said with a light chuckle.
However, seeing this scene, other Loose Cultivators with ulterior motives didn’t dare to make a move.
Some had begun to retreat towards the exterior of the Palace of the God of Slaughter.
Xu Zimei approached the three orbs of light, and Hao Chen hesitated before saying, "Brother Xu, regarding what I mentioned earlier... "
"I’ll see if it’s of any use to me first," Xu Zimei replied.
Hao Chen quickly nodded and waited in silence by the side.
There were three sources of light on the platform, and Xu Zimei picked up the first one to examine it.
Inside was precisely the piece of the True Divine Sword he had been searching for, the fifth fragment.
As he picked up this fragment, Xu Zimei could feel the other four pieces inside him trembling.
It was a sign of excitement, a Sword Intent turned into a warm flow, circulating through his Extraordinary Meridians.
Xu Zimei stored the fragment of the True Divine Sword in his Storage Ring and then turned his gaze to the second source of light.
Inside was a dragon-shaped pill, this Dragon Pill was crafted to look vividly lifelike.
