The Primordial War: The Symbol Emperor

"I'll give you ten innate spiritual materials, stop now!" Wei Chen cried out in pain.

Zhuque ignored him, inwardly scoffing, "Do you still think of me as you did back then? You've taken such a big advantage and you think you can just settle things with ten innate spiritual materials? Dream on."

"Twenty, is that enough? Release me now." Wei Chen didn't want to endure this torture for another second.

Zhuque glanced coldly at Weichen, her expression ruthless and cold, waiting for him to reach his bottom line.

"Thirty, that's the most I can go. I don't have that much left," Wei Chen pleaded. At that moment, he gained a new understanding of the importance of not flaunting one's wealth.

Zhuque's cold expression changed slightly. Thirty innate spiritual materials could at least give birth to twenty innate spiritual treasures, and at the very least, they could be used to forge twenty acquired spiritual treasures.

This would be of immense help to her Vermilion Bird Clan; it would be an absolute treasure that would tempt any top-tier race.

Although there are many treasures in the primordial world, there are even more innate deities. Most of these innate deities are empty-handed, possessing at most one acquired spiritual treasure.

There are very few innate deities who possess innate spiritual treasures; this type belongs to the great beings of the primordial era.

Now that he had suffered a slight loss, he could obtain at least twenty innate spiritual treasures. Zhuque was very tempted and wanted to agree immediately, but when he thought of Weichen's wealth, he held back.

"Forty, that's really the most I can do," Wei Chen pleaded pitifully.

Zhuque pondered whether or not she should continue to exploit him. She was now struggling with a sense of despicable behavior.

Although Wei Chen possessed an outrageous amount of treasures, they all belonged to him and had nothing to do with him.

Was it too much to cheat him out of his treasure like this? How is doing this any different from being a shameless person?

But is there such a thing as right and wrong in the primordial world? Suzaku was caught in a dilemma.

"Stop! Let's talk this out!" Wei Chen roared, this time he was truly enraged. Wanting the treasure was one thing, but torturing him like this was another.

Zhuque realized he was truly angry, so she withdrew her natal fire and said, "I don't want innate spiritual materials, nor do I want ordinary innate spiritual treasures."

"Aren't you going too far?" Wei Chen said in a deep voice, his face dark. His wounds were still painful, and his whole body was charred black. If it weren't for the Self-Salvation Technique, his injuries would probably be even more severe.

Zhuque is far too arrogant. She only gained a small advantage from her, and yet she's tormented herself like this. She even wants a supreme treasure, practically naming it and specifying which one she wants.

Zhuque's expression was unnatural. Weichen had already given her enough, yet she was still not satisfied.

Suzaku finally realized that she had gone too far this time, and it was no wonder.

It's all Wei Chen's fault; he spoiled her to this extent.

Every time Wei Chen took advantage of her, he would make up for it with a precious gift. Over time, Zhu Que got used to it.

Zhuque's eyes darted around, and her voice was unnatural as she asked, "Fellow Daoist, are you alright?"

"Hmph~~" Wei Chen snorted coldly, his expression softening somewhat when he saw Zhu Que admit her mistake.

He took out a small bead containing over a hundred innate spiritual materials and handed it to Zhuque, saying, "There won't be any more. I truly have none more!"

Clearly, after this lesson, he realized his past mistakes.

Zhuque's expression changed slightly, and she pushed the bead back, not daring to accept it.

He said, "Fellow Daoist has already given me enough; I cannot accept any more!"

"Take it!" Wei Chen grabbed her delicate hand, placed the bead in her palm, and closed it.

"I really can't take it anymore." Suzaku panicked and tried to return the bead to him.

Wei Chen grabbed her hand and laughed, "What are you afraid of? Are you afraid I'll get angry? Or are you afraid I'll leave?"

Zhuque withdrew her hand; that was indeed what she was thinking. Wei Chen had suddenly given her so many treasures—could it be for no reason?

Compared to these spiritual materials, Zhuque didn't want Weichen to leave, no matter the reason.

"Why did you give me so many innate spiritual materials, fellow Daoist?" Zhuque asked, feeling somewhat flustered.

"Haven't you always wanted this? Now I've given it to you, and you won't have it even if you want it again."

Wei Chen stepped forward and put his arm around her shoulder, laughing, "I also know of a great opportunity that can help you achieve enlightenment, even better than the Southern Flame Banner."

"It really exists—" Upon hearing about such a treasure, Suzaku forgot that someone was playing a trick on her.

“It really is! It suits you even better than the Twelve-Petaled Lotus Platform!” Wei Chen’s voice was magnetic, with an almost imperceptible hint of desire.

Wei Chen had a fire burning in his heart. Zhu Que's delicate body was too soft and smooth, and it was also very hot, which completely set his heart ablaze.

"What kind of treasure is it? I've never heard of it before!" Zhuque asked eagerly.

"Fire Lotus, it is a fire lotus. I don't know its exact name, I only know that it is a spiritual object with a trace of chaotic origin." Wei Chen held the Vermilion Bird and stroked it greedily, wishing he had more hands.

"A chaotic spiritual object?" Zhuque exclaimed, shocked, utterly shocked.

There are primordial spiritual objects in the primordial world; if obtained, the path to the Great Dao may be within reach.

"Where?"

At this moment, Suzaku's mind was filled with the Fire Lotus, and everything else had long been forgotten.

Wei Chen inwardly cursed his bad luck and changed the subject, asking, "Do you want it?"

Only by changing the subject in this way can you gain an advantage for a little longer.

"I must have it, even if it costs me my life." Suzaku's eyes were red.

“That’s a dead end!” Wei Chen said, his hand moving, his head also joining in the lust.

The Vermilion Bird's fragrance is both faint and intense, elegant and refreshing, but once inhaled, it becomes like a raging fire, burning his blood and soul, making him unable to resist.

Without a second thought, Suzaku firmly declared, "Even if it means certain death, I will go. Where exactly is it?"

However, no answer was received.

Suzaku noticed a head rubbing against her neck, an arm around her waist, and another arm...

"Ah—" The heavens trembled, and the void was filled with rolling winds and surging clouds.

Wei Chen woke up with a start and quickly said, "I'll take you there right now, let's go, let's go—"

Zhuque stood still, her black mist swaying and tumbling with her colorful dress.

Her peerless face was shrouded in a black mist, within which shone a five-colored divine light. Her eyes were even more terrifying, like two abyssal black holes, seemingly capable of devouring all things and burning and melting everything.

She intended to choose someone to devour—

Wei Chen felt a chill run down his spine, and he shrank back involuntarily.

He knew he had gone too far this time, but he didn't regret it. If he could do it all over again, he would still do the same thing.

Although Zhuque seemed terrifying, Wei Chen believed that at most he would teach him a lesson or torture him for a while, but he would never kill him.

Knowing this, he dared to act with impunity and take advantage of others without restraint.

"I promise you'll get that fire lotus, just let me go this time!" Wei Chen begged for mercy.

Suzaku's anger rose and fell, but she was clearly furious. Hearing about the supreme treasure, she wanted to give up, but couldn't bear the humiliation.

"The Fire Lotus is in the capital of the Demon Emperor of the Prison Scythe—" Wei Chen revealed the truth.

He hadn't wanted to say it so soon, wanting to take advantage of Suzaku for a while longer, but now he had no choice but to say it.

Upon hearing this, Suzaku's world-destroying black flames shifted and then, filled with rage, roared, "Bastard, shameless! Is that a forbidden zone?"

"Screech..." The Vermilion Bird transformed into its true form and soared straight into the sky.

Her rage—only by unleashing an endless sea of ​​fire can her fury be quelled.

She was still hesitating, but she absolutely could not give up this treasure, even if it cost her her life.

But she wasn't afraid of death; she was afraid that after her death, no one would lead the Vermilion Bird Clan, and that the Vermilion Bird Clan would decline and disappear into the primordial world.

However, it was all a lie. She was furious and wanted to tear Wei Chen to pieces, crush him, and burn him to ashes.

But she couldn't bring herself to do it—

Zhuque was furious. Unable to kill Weichen, she could only unleash a boundless sea of ​​fire, burning the heavens to ashes.

“Screech…” Countless fireballs rained down from the void, the Vermilion Bird carrying boundless fury, burning black trails into the void.

With an elegant spin, she extended her incomparably sharp claws, their black light gleaming. She crushed a blue sky and white cloud into black mist, and then, with another elegant turn, shattered all the blue sky and white clouds into dust.

Wei Chen wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. It was terrifying!

He made a firm decision in his heart: he would definitely seize all the treasures of those powerful beings in the future.

If we take advantage of the Vermilion Bird, we can use it to redeem our lives.
