The Great Martial Saint!

Chapter 701 Fortuitous Encounters and Spiritual Objects, Full Power (Bonus Chapter for 10000 Monthly Tickets)

"The spiritual restrictions on this stone gate, at their peak, should have possessed fourth-order power."

Looking at the dim, bluish-gray stone door that was about to be opened, Chen Ping'an made a judgment.

Unlike some powerful spiritual arrays that serve as the foundation of a sect, the spiritual restrictions on this bluish-gray stone gate are small-scale arrays, and their power is considerably inferior.

Comparatively speaking, it is also easier to overcome.

Of course, most importantly, this cave dwelling must have been around for quite some time. Its overall power and grade have dropped considerably.

Thus, with everyone working together, it was so easy to overcome the obstacle.

However, Chen Ping'an had no idea what preparations the group had made beforehand.

Both the Lord of Ten Thousand Demons and the Lord of the Evil Path were once powerful figures, and their vision and experience were unmatched by ordinary people.

"Be careful." Watching the stone door slowly open amidst the spiritual vibrations, Chen Ping'an sent a secret message to remind Gu Qingchan.

"Mmm." Gu Qingchan spoke softly, burying her head in Chen Ping'an's body.

Compared to her usual self, Gu Qingchan appeared much more frail at this moment. It was unclear whether this was due to her injury or some other reason.

Previously, when everyone joined forces to break the seal, the chaotic state of their minds made Gu Qingchan's recovery extremely inefficient.

Chen Ping'an's gaze was solemn as he looked at the gray stone door in front of him.

The fourth-tier quality restriction suggests that the owner of this cave is likely no ordinary person.

"opened!"

The crowd looked excited, but they were secretly thrilled.

Just as the stone gate opened and a crack was revealed, several streaks of bluish-gray light shot out.

call out!call out!call out!
The speed of the streaks of light is beyond what ordinary people can react to.

puff!

Ge Yuntao's eyes widened in shock, and before he could react, he collapsed to the ground with a thud.

"This is."

His body stiffened, and he died instantly.

With a damaged mind and extinguished vitality, even a martial arts grandmaster cannot escape death.

The Xuanling Ge family, the supreme grandmaster, the Golden Light Spear, Ge Yuntao, has fallen!

In an instant, various colored lights lit up inside the stone passage.

Amidst the various sounds of collision, everyone was on high alert.

The bluish-gray light came quickly and went quickly.

Only now have people had the energy to pay attention to Ge Yuntao's situation.

"Brother Ge!" Yu Wenqiao exclaimed in surprise.

Among the group, she was closest to Ge Yuntao. Although they weren't that close, this situation inevitably evoked a sense of shared sorrow.

Ge Yuntao's combat strength was roughly equal to hers. The reason she survived while Ge Yuntao died was purely a matter of luck.

If she and Ge Yuntao were in each other's shoes, their situations would be completely reversed, and she would be the one who dies.

"What a vicious method." The Devouring Fiend Old Monster trembled inwardly, looking as if he still had lingering fear.

That streak of bluish-gray light was moving at an incredibly fast speed; he couldn't react in time. The fact that he managed to dodge it was purely a matter of luck.

Looking around the arena, apart from the Demon Lord, the Skeleton Elder, and Blood Nightmare Luo, everyone else was probably too slow to react.

"That was close!" The White Bone Prince was shocked, and a bead of sweat appeared on his forehead.

The bluish-gray light just now was terrifying. If he hadn't been lucky, he probably wouldn't have even had a chance to use the White Bone Secret Technique.

A supreme grandmaster has fallen. He died so easily, so casually, without causing the slightest ripple.

Gazing at Ge Yuntao's corpse not far away, Chen Ping'an's eyes were calm, as if he were lost in thought.

Exploring hidden treasures is a journey of both opportunity and risk; the opportunity may be great, but you also need to be alive to claim it.

Success means life, failure means death.

True martial arts battles don't involve many fancy tricks; they are simply about the pure struggle between life and death.

At this moment, the stone gate opened wide, but as everyone stood before it, no one dared to enter.

"Go in!" The Demon Lord put away the Thousand Machine Bag and Golden Light Spear from among Ge Yuntao's corpse and pointed at the Devouring Demon Old Monster.

Upon hearing the words of the Demon Lord, the Devouring Demon Old Monster's face turned green.

He couldn't help but look at Blood Nightmare Luo not far away, only to see that the other party had no reaction.

"Damn it!"

Thinking of the tragic death of Ge Yuntao, the Devouring Demon was filled with fear and trepidation.

He had a Blood Demon Restriction implanted in his body. If he did not follow the orders of the Lord of Ten Thousand Demons, he would surely die if he did not go in, but if he went in, he might survive.

Between two evils, choose the lesser one!

With a fierce determination, the Devouring Demon Old Monster gritted his teeth and stepped into the gray stone gate.

Everyone stared intently as the Devouring Demon Old Monster stepped through the gray stone gate.

Inside the stone gate was a massive, towering hall, seemingly protected by a spiritual barrier that prevented spiritual exploration. It was extremely difficult to detect from the outside using only the divine soul or spiritual sense. To the naked eye, one could only see an empty hall and rows of stone doors; little else could be discerned.

Looking at the appearance of the Devouring Demon Old Monster, Chen Ping'an found it somewhat amusing.

Evil people need to be punished by evil people.

"Does that make you feel better?" Gu Qingchan's voice rang in Chen Ping'an's ears.

It was gentle and soft, fresh and sweet, delicate and crisp, with a sweet aroma mixed with its warmth, making Chen Ping'an feel itchy.

Although there was no evidence, Chen Ping'an felt that Gu Qingchan was doing this on purpose.

Although she didn't say it explicitly, Chen Ping'an knew she was referring to the Devouring Demon Old Monster's slander that he was his mistress.

He encountered the Devouring Fiend Old Monster twice, once outside Xuanling Heavy City and once now. In both encounters, the Devouring Fiend Old Monster's malicious teasing revolved around the terms "young master" and "little lover."

The previous arguments had not been entirely successful, but now we see the Devouring Demon Old Monster getting his comeuppance.

"Has this been discovered? Or..."

Chen Ping'an focused his mind, without giving it much thought. In the current situation, everything should be based on the overall situation.

We'll leave Gu Qingchan's matter for another time.

"Barely." Chen Ping'an said in a low voice, ignoring Gu Qingchan's reaction, and focused all his attention on the Devouring Demon Old Monster's condition.

After entering the stone gate, the Devouring Fiend Old Monster quickly appeared in the main hall. Due to the spiritual barrier, everyone could only observe him with their eyes. The Devouring Fiend Old Monster walked very cautiously with each step, appearing extremely careful, as if afraid of triggering some kind of array or restriction.

Banners fluttered around him, swirling and emitting black mist, providing him with a layer of psychological security.

Although the Devouring Demon Old Monster's combat power was not bad, he did not have much confidence in himself because of the previous death of Ge Yuntao.

These secret cave dwellings are of extremely high quality, already exceeding the limits that a Grandmaster can explore.

If one encounters any spiritual restrictions, even with preparation, it would be extremely difficult to escape unscathed.

"Push open that stone door!" The Demon Lord controlled the actions of the Devouring Demon Old Monster from outside the gray stone door.

Inside the main hall, there were many stone doors. He randomly selected one and had the Devouring Demon Old Monster test the situation inside.

The old monster Devourer looked bitter. Upon hearing this, he followed the instructions of the Lord of Ten Thousand Demons and pushed open one of the stone doors.

hum~
As soon as the Devouring Demon touched the stone door, a stream of light flickered within. The Devouring Demon was startled, and just as he thought some kind of restriction on the stone door had been activated, he saw the stone door slowly open.

"Go in," the Demon Lord commanded.

The Devouring Demon Old Monster broke out in a cold sweat. After calming his emotions, he gritted his teeth and stepped into the stone gate.

Nothing happened until the Devouring Fiend Old Monster walked through the stone gate. Due to their limited perspective, they couldn't see what happened after that, only that the Devouring Fiend Old Monster was safe and sound.

Whoosh!
With a flick of his wrist, Xue Yanluo flew towards the gray stone gate.

The Demon Lord's expression changed. He had originally intended to observe further, but who knew that Blood Nightmare Luo would react so quickly, entering the stone hall before him.

Even so, the Lord of Ten Thousand Demons was not careless in the slightest. After observing the situation and finding that Blood Nightmare Luo was not abnormal, he rolled up his robes and flew into the stone hall.

"Get in!"

"go!"

The White Bone Prince and the Withered Vine Elder exchanged a glance before stepping into the stone hall.

Yu Wenqiao hesitated for a moment, but seeing the others go inside, she gritted her teeth and followed them in.

Chen Ping'an noticed that the skeletal elder of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect did not enter the gray stone gate, but stood outside, waiting quietly. A pair of decaying eyes, devoid of any emotion, calmly fell upon Chen Ping'an.

Chen Ping'an changed his mind and carried Gu Qingchan through the gray stone gate.

By this point, the situation on the field was quite clear.

Judging from the situation, the Evil Path Master, Blood Nightmare Luo, is alone, forming his own faction. The Lord of Ten Thousand Demons and the Skeleton Elder belong to the same camp, as do the Devouring Fiend Old Monster, Yu Wenqiao, and the deceased Ge Yuntao, who also belong to this camp due to the Blood Demon Restriction. Compared to the others, the White Bone Prince and the Withered Vine Old Man are relatively free, naturally belonging to the same camp.

Among them, the two were the most powerful. Although they were no match for the Lord of Ten Thousand Demons or Blood Nightmare Luo when they joined forces, they were enough to contend with a pseudo-celestial being.

In addition, the two also served as a buffer between the Demon Lord and Blood Nightmare Luo. The reason why the Demon Lord did not place the Blood Demon Restriction on them was probably not only because of their considerable combined strength, but also because of Blood Nightmare Luo's attitude.

These are the three factions in the arena. After Chen Ping'an and Gu Qingchan joined, a fourth faction was added to the crowd.

Although Chen Ping'an had not yet displayed his full combat power, he had already reached the level of Fengyun. With the assistance of the Azure Thunder Pearl, and having also directly defeated the giant hand of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect Master, in terms of overall strength, he was no weaker than the strategic alliance of the White Bone Prince and the Withered Vine Elder.

This is under the assumption that the White Bone Prince possesses the White Bone Secret Technique.

The reason why the Demon Lord and Blood Nightmare Lord agreed to his joint exploration was probably not only because they might need him in some areas, but also because of other considerations.

However, since Chen Ping'an had come, he also had his own considerations.

Rather than fighting outside and risking escape, it's better to
Chen Ping'an smiled and suppressed his thoughts.

When Chen Ping'an entered the stone hall, apart from Yu Wenqiao who had just pushed open the stone door, everyone else was already exploring their respective stone chambers.

Whether it was tacit understanding or something else, everyone intentionally avoided the stone chambers chosen by others.

Inside the stone hall, although the stone chambers were arranged in a similar manner, careful observation revealed differences in size. Chen Ping'an noticed that both Xue Yanluo and the Lord of Ten Thousand Demons were walking through the central stone chamber, which, in terms of its external form, was the largest of all the chambers.

Chen Ping'an glanced around the area, found a stone chamber, pushed open the stone door, and went inside.

Throughout the entire process, Chen Ping'an behaved in an orderly and extremely composed manner.

Just as he pushed open the stone door, the Devouring Demon Old Monster, who had entered first, came out from a stone chamber.

The Devouring Demon Old Monster showed a hint of apprehension, glanced at Chen Ping'an, and quickly ran to the door of another stone chamber.

"This kid's combat power is terrifying; we cannot defeat him by force!" After the previous battle, the Devouring Demon Old Monster's mindset had changed.

Even he had to admit that he was no match for the ruthless Chen Ping'an.

"Once we get out, we'll spread the word about them immediately!" The Devouring Fiend Old Monster's eyes were cold as he plotted, "Let you hide, let's see how long you can hide! Perhaps, after today, you won't have another chance to hide!"

The Devouring Demon Old Monster was as clear-headed as a mirror and had already made a judgment on the current situation.

Right now, they seem to be conducting a friendly investigation because they haven't found any opportunities or secret treasures. If they were to find any truly rare and precious items, their investigation team would likely fall apart immediately, leading to a major fight.

He was under the Blood Demon's restriction, which seemed extremely risky, but if handled properly, it might not be an opportunity.

Judging from the current situation, the most powerful figure in the arena is the Lord of Ten Thousand Demons.

However, Blood Nightmare Luo is a formidable fighter, so we cannot be careless.

We should be careful about this matter, lest we bring trouble upon ourselves at a critical moment.

Given the previous events, Chen Ping'an, the Brute Blade, is undoubtedly a thorn in the side of both the Demon Lord and the Blood Nightmare Lord. If they were to clash, Chen Ping'an would be the first to be dealt with.

What he needs to do now is to stick to one side and try to survive in the crisis. If handled properly, it might just be a stroke of luck.

Good fortune may be a harbinger of misfortune, and misfortune may be a harbinger of good fortune; they are interdependent.

What happens today may well provide the resources for further progress in the future!

Although I accidentally stumbled into the den of evil cultists, given the circumstances, I must fight against fate!

The Devouring Demon Old Monster suppressed his thoughts and began to investigate in a new stone chamber.

He searched the previous stone chamber thoroughly but found nothing of value. Over the years, many items had weathered away, and the elixirs, for example, had long lost their medicinal properties.

"I hope we can find something of great value here." The Devouring Fiend was eager as he searched the stone chamber.

"The library?"

Chen Ping'an looked around and quickly recognized the purpose of the stone chamber.

Inside the stone chamber stood rows of tall bookshelves, densely packed with books. The bookshelves bore inscriptions of spiritual runes, but over time, they had lost their original function.

Without the protection of the barriers, the books on the shelves have begun to show signs of weathering and decay.

At a glance, Chen Ping'an saw that only a small portion of the books were relatively well-preserved. But even those that were relatively well-preserved inevitably had some damage.

Chen Ping'an picked up a book, glanced at it casually, and found that it mainly recorded the local customs and traditions of the state. The book in his hand happened to record some situations in Beihai.

"The contents on this page must be quite old."

Gu Qingchan leaned against Chen Ping'an's back, effectively reading through the book as well. The book's descriptions of geography and landforms were fine, but the accounts and descriptions of certain forces were clearly different from those of the present world.

Chen Ping'an nodded slightly. They were still inside the secret realm, and the risks were unknown, so it wasn't convenient to put Gu Qingchan down.

However, neither he nor Gu Qingchan mentioned it, and she simply leaned comfortably on his shoulder. This behavior was completely unlike Gu Qingchan's.

Based on what he knew of Gu Qingchan, he had only made her carry him out of necessity and as a compromise. If she had a choice, she would probably have asked to get off him immediately.

But now.
Chen Pingan couldn't help but sigh.

His identity may really come out.

Even if he were slow to notice, he could sense that Gu Qingchan was treating him differently now.

Chen Ping'an first suppressed his thoughts and began to explore the stone chamber.

As he expected, the books in this stone chamber were not cultivation techniques, but rather books about local customs, travelogues, and secret texts.

They look quite old, and much of the content on them has probably been updated.

However, Chen Pingan didn't care much.

As for power and the changes in information regarding experts, it doesn't matter. As long as some classic texts and secrets are still available, you can broaden your knowledge by reading them more often.

Although the stone chamber contained many books, after screening, only a small number actually ended up in Chen Ping'an's hands. Most of the weathered and damaged books were rejected by Chen Ping'an, and some were so fragile that they would crumble at the slightest touch.

These books are just ordinary books, and the paper they use is nothing special.

"Would you like to keep a copy, Senior Gu?"

Whether it was a joke or not, Chen Ping'an took the initiative to address Gu as Senior Gu.

Gu Qingchan leaned on Chen Ping'an's shoulder, her face flushed, seemingly lost in thought.

Seeing that Gu Qingchan did not answer, Chen Ping'an prepared to go to the next stone chamber.

However, before he could even step out of the stone gate, a violent tremor came from outside.

boom!
The violent shockwave and the stirred spiritual energy caused Gu Qingchan, who was behind Chen Ping'an, to turn pale. Her previously suppressed injuries were at risk of being aggravated.

She lay on Chen Ping'an's back, where she could have rested, but the continuous battles had left her with no opportunity to do so. Even when she had a little time, her overall efficiency was extremely poor.

"A fight started?"

Chen Ping'an's mind raced, but upon closer examination, he realized it didn't seem quite right.

He flashed and carried Gu Qingchan out of the stone chamber.

When he emerged from the stone chamber, most of the people were already inside the stone hall.

Rumble~
"This is..." Chen Ping'an's eyes flickered slightly.

In the center of the stone hall, a stone pillar rises.

It's not quite a stone pillar; it's translucent, with a crystal-clear texture and a warm, jade-like feel, more like white jade or amber.

The jade pillar was transparent, and at its rising top, a bottle of elixir could be clearly seen sealed inside. The bottle was white, and although the elixir inside could not be seen, the markings on it revealed the answer.

"Shangqing Pill!"

Someone gasped in surprise, their breath becoming slightly hot.

The Shangqing Pill, a high-grade spiritual pill, can temporarily enhance one's mind and intelligence, keeping the spiritual platform clear and ensuring that not a single spark of spiritual light is lost. It is an excellent aid for overcoming inner demons.

Rumble~
The stone palace shook, the ground trembled, stone pillars rose from the ground, and more and more jade pillars were exposed.

"Soul-Condensing Jade Elixir!"

Another breakthrough artifact appeared in everyone's sight.

Soul-Condensing Jade Elixir can help condense the divine soul and enhance one's foundation, making it an excellent spiritual item for martial arts grandmasters breaking through to the Martial Dao Celestial realm. Its effects are equivalent to the breakthrough elixirs meticulously refined by renowned alchemists. With the aid of Soul-Condensing Jade Elixir, the potential for a martial arts Celestial realm breakthrough will increase by at least 20%.

A 20% investment may not seem like much, but for a perilous and unpredictable pass like the Martial Arts Celestial Realm, it is an unimaginable investment.

At this moment, the appearance of the Soul-Gathering Jade Liquid caused the gazes of Blood Nightmare Luo and the Lord of Ten Thousand Demons to change.

However, as pseudo-celestial beings whose paths to enlightenment had been severed, they were extremely envious of such breakthroughs, but they could still barely maintain a calm demeanor.

For them, the greater value of these breakthrough-level spiritual items lies not so much in their efficacy, but in their strategic significance and worth. They can be used as strategic assets to trade for resources; having these spiritual items as bargaining chips to exchange for rare and precious items is undoubtedly much simpler.

Blood Nightmare Luo and the Lord of Ten Thousand Demons were able to remain calm, but the Grandmasters in the arena were not.

The breathing of the White Bone Prince, the Withered Vine Elder, the Devouring Demon Old Monster, Yu Wenqiao, and others became rapid.

Shangqing Dan, Ninghun Yuye
With the help of this spiritual object, even if their chances of breaking through to a higher realm are low, the overall probability is still 20% to 30%. If they receive further assistance from other fortuitous encounters, their chances of breaking through might not be lower than 30%.

With a 30% chance of breaking through to the Martial Dao Celestial Realm, who wouldn't want such an opportunity!
A martial arts master! This is a martial arts master!
Overlooking the world, may you enjoy a thousand years of longevity!

Even if one has not yet become a Celestial Being, with this opportunity and spiritual object, one should have a great chance to become a pseudo-Celestial Being in martial arts!

As the stone pillars gradually rose, and with the final section of the pillars revealing what lay within, the atmosphere in the room reached a fever pitch.

"Yin Yang Dew!"

Blood Nightmare's eyes gleamed with excitement.

"It's actually Yin-Yang Dew!"

The Demon Lord's expression trembled, filled with inexplicable excitement.

Yin-Yang Dew is an excellent aid to the soul, used for soul purification and improvement. Most importantly, it is also effective against pseudo-celestial beings.

This means that, with the help of the Yin-Yang Dew, their path to enlightenment still has the potential to advance further!

Although the chances are slim and the process will be fraught with difficulties, an opportunity is an opportunity, and the mere possibility of continuing one's journey is something no one can refuse.

"There's actually Yin-Yang Dew?"

Chen Ping'an had heard of the reputation of Yin Yang Dew. It was an extremely rare and high-grade spiritual item, second only to the rare treasures of heaven and earth, such as Xuanjin Treasure Mine, in terms of value.

Even for celestial beings, it offers considerable benefits.

Although the souls of martial arts masters are pure, no one doesn't wish for their souls to advance further and become even more refined.

Even among Martial Dao Celestials, Yin-Yang Dew is an extremely difficult item to trade. If it's so rare for Martial Dao Celestials, imagine how rare it is for Pseudo-Celestials.

boom!
A chilling and sinister aura surged through the area. Blood Nightmare Luo, terrified, was ready to seize it. Once the stone pillar was fully raised, he recklessly attacked.

The Demon Lord, standing to the side, remained undeterred, his ferocious aura raging throughout the area. At the same time, a dark red light flashed, and the skeletal old man who had been guarding the gray stone gate appeared inside the stone hall.

An aura of deathly stillness swept across the land, giving rise to the third pseudo-celestial aura in the field.

The moment the Yin-Yang Dew appeared, they knew that a battle today was now unavoidable.

No one would give up such a rare and precious opportunity!
Not only would they not give up, but even when it came to allocation, no one would be willing to do so.

"Fight!" The men's fighting spirit soared, their eyes fixed intently on the object in the arena.

boom!
As the stone pillar rose and fell, a violent shockwave, mixed with terrifying sonic waves and imbued with spiritual power, rippled outwards from the pillar.

"Not good!" The old monster's expression changed drastically, and he looked terrified.

A violent shockwave instantly enveloped him, and at the last moment of the attack, the constantly swirling and fluttering banners completely enveloped him.

Bang!
Yu Wenqiao was thrown out and crashed heavily into the stone wall of the main hall.

The White Bone Prince looked horrified, his white bone jade fan swirling in his hand, surrounded by countless yin winds, as he retreated explosively.

The old man with withered vines seemed to burst forth with life, countless vines rising up and transforming into a dense net that wrapped around his entire body.

Chen Ping'an was prepared; he had been ready to respond at any time when the stone pillar was raised.

Although the shockwave caught him off guard, he handled it with ease. However, considering the situation, he didn't try anything too unconventional, responding in a conventional manner, and then collapsed to the ground.

puff!
Gu Qingchan slumped onto Chen Ping'an's shoulder, spitting out a mouthful of blood before falling into a deep coma. Despite Chen Ping'an's timely protection amidst the sonic shockwave, the attack still aggravated Gu Qingchan's existing injuries.

If she were at her peak, with Gu Qingchan's foundation in the Mystic Maiden realm, she naturally wouldn't be in such a sorry state. However, her previous attacks, coupled with the poison of the strange wood and the effects of the blood demon, had left her extremely weak. Now, once triggered, she could no longer maintain her strength.

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
Several streaks of light flashed across the scene and stopped on one side of the main hall.

Although the previous shockwaves and sonic booms were terrifying, they were just minor tremors for them and did not cause any major problems.

The group was in high spirits, arguing fiercely, their eyes fixed on the stone pillar in the center of the arena.

The Supreme Clarity Elixir, the Soul-Condensing Jade Liquid, and the Yin-Yang Dew!

If they were to distribute the items among themselves, each of the three would receive one. But who would be willing to give up such a fortuitous and precious opportunity?
If they could continue their path with Yin-Yang Dew, retrace the path of Heaven and Man with Soul-Condensing Jade Liquid, and be protected by Shangqing Pill, these pseudo-Heaven and Man might not be unable to compete with true martial arts Heaven and Man!
Inside the stone hall, apart from the three of them, there was no one else capable of fighting. At this moment, the stone hall had become their exclusive stage.

"Lord of Ten Thousand Demons, with this opportunity before us, there's no point in saying anything now. You won't give up, and neither will I. But shouldn't we sweep away the scum and trash in this arena?" Blood Nightmare Luo's voice was icy, his cold gaze sweeping across the arena.

He has cultivated himself for hundreds of years, how could he not know the principle of the fisherman reaping the benefits?

Some things should be settled long before they even begin!

"The Lord of the Evil Path is indeed quite cautious." The Lord of Ten Thousand Demons' dark red hair fluttered even without wind. "However, I have the same intention! You cannot kill my two subordinates, but you can kill the rest!"

The voice of the Demon Lord was hoarse, but it revealed his murderous intent.

I originally thought that leaving a few people behind would be of some use, but I never expected that the opportunities in this exploration of the secret place would be so great. In that case, there is no need for those people to stay.

"Good!" Xue Yanluo's voice was hoarse, like a rotten iron chain being dragged through a dry well.

Whether to kill or not is entirely up to him; a mere verbal agreement has no effect whatsoever.

Clearly, the Demon Lord was aware of his thoughts. At this moment, although the two had reached an agreement, their figures remained unchanged, and their hands made no movement whatsoever.

In the current situation, they were all focused on the central stone pillar, and if anyone moved, they would inevitably be distracted.

If you are even slightly careless, the other party may take advantage of your weakness.

No one wants to take such risks. A single mistake could lead to irreparable regret.

The Demon Lord was clearly aware of Blood Nightmare's concerns. Against such a long-established monster, mere words and schemes were almost impossible to employ. The possibility of him exploiting this opportunity was simply out of the question.

In such situations, real combat will eventually have to be fought.

"I'll leave the others to you, and this 'Brutal Blade' will remain with me." The Lord of Ten Thousand Demons didn't waste any words and gave his answer directly through his actions.

His aura changed, and he stretched out a large hand.

However, Xueyanluo made no move, nor did he advance any further for the time being.

He has already given his attitude; now it depends on Xueyanluo's sincerity.

If the other party still tries to distract him and seize the spiritual object inside the stone pillar, he would rather give up this opportunity, settle things once and for all, and then do other things.

While there is a risk in the "fisherman reaping the benefits" scenario, it only works if the other party has sufficient strength.

After the Demon Lord finished speaking, no one made a move for a moment.

"Let's attack together!" Blood Nightmare Luo's voice was cold, clearly indicating that the skeletal elder would not be able to stay out of it either.

"Alright." The skeletal elder held a blood-red compass, and blood-red ripples faintly emanated from his body.

As an old monster who has lived for hundreds of years, even with the opportunity before him, he is still able to make the most correct choice at this moment, otherwise his mind would be clouded by impulse.

Of course, besides their rationality, what also made them decide to act together was their fear of the other party's strength.

Rather than leaving others behind and increasing the risk, it's better to eliminate it early.

boom!
The aura surged, and just as the group was about to make their move, a calm and serene voice rang out within the stone hall.

"I think you all seem to have forgotten that before deciding on Chen's life or death, shouldn't you have asked for Chen's opinion?!"
"Why are you all so dismissive of what Mr. Chen said? Don't you take him seriously?"

As he spoke, an incomparably powerful aura rose up, climbing steadily until it exceeded the limit of the Grandmaster of Martial Arts, and the aura did not stop.

"I just wanted to take a shortcut, why are you forcing me?"
