  BOOM!

  Suddenly, the hatchet tried to run, but Long Chen slashed Evilmoon down at it, blocking its path. He caught it and tossed it into the primal chaos space.

  Two small trees appeared in the air. That was the Xuan Beast expert’s current harvest. Chu Yao had taken them out.

  “He only had these few,” said Chu Yao.

  “Just two is decent. After all, there’s also a divine item. We got it all for free, so let’s not care too much about it.” Long Chen laughed.

  There were many things on that expert that were useless to humans. They were only treasures to Xuan Beasts.

  Things had ended here before Liu Ruyan even arrived. The three of them continued onward, but now their luck was no longer as good. It seemed that they were crossing areas that others had already passed.

  He was just about to discuss whether or not they should change direction when the world shook. A beam of light shot into the sky in the distance, illuminating the world.

  “Let’s go take a look!”

  The three of them immediately rushed over to that beam of light.

  Chapter 1862 World of Immortal Light

  Long Chen, Chu Yao, and Liu Ruyan rushed over in the direction of the light. At this time, Long Chen noticed several other experts flying over as well.

  In the distance, there were even more people. They were like shooting stars gathering.

  “There are actually so many people here!” Chu Yao was startled. A brief examination revealed at least a hundred powerful auras.

  The gate to this place was blocked by those vines. Without the power of an Empyrean whose manifestation had started to awaken, it was almost impossible to charge through it.

  “If there’s a fight, you should focus on protecting yourself. Leave it to me,” said Long Chen.

  Although Chu Yao was definitely strong, she wasn’t vicious enough. As for Liu Ruyan, she was definitely vicious enough, so Long Chen would prefer if the two of them stayed together.

  This place was different from the outside. Those who could enter here were all experts of a high level. If a fight started, he would be unable to look after others.

  As they got closer to the light, Long Chen found that this was a new world, a world of immortal light. There was immortal mist filling this area, making it like a wonderland.

  It was unknown if someone had activated it or if it had activated automatically, but this light was now illuminating this world, drawing over all the experts present.

  This world of immortal light was filled with mountains and mist. There were trees on the mountains, and their leaves touched with dew. Immense life energy could be sensed even from a great distance.

  “There are definitely treasures inside!” A shout rang out as everyone rushed over to it as quickly as possible as if afraid they would fall behind others.

  There were already people present within that world of immortal light. There was no danger, so everyone was rushing in as fast as possible.

  Long Chen also charged into the light. The outer edge of this world of light had no defensive power, so he passed through effortlessly.

  Once in, a majestic immortal spiritual qi rushed over him. With just a breath, his entire body relaxed.

  However, at the same time, he noticed that this world was completely different from the world outside.

  From the outside, this world looked to be less than ten thousand miles wide. Inside, he found that it was many times bigger, and most definitely worthy of being called its own world.

  Just as he entered, a sharp attack followed him.

  “Courting death!” Long Chen snorted. Without looking, he smashed a fist behind him.

  BOOM!

  Long Chen’s fist smashed into a bronze rod, and a powerful qi wave blew Long Chen back a dozen steps. His arm was a bit numb.

  As for the attacker, he looked at Long Chen with surprise. Just now, he had stealthily activated the power of his divine item, but Long Chen had received it barehanded.

  “Little ancient race brat, I’ll remember you. I don’t have time for you now, but later I’ll settle our debts.” Long Chen swung his arm a few times and shot off, a pair of lightning wings on his back. He had no time to waste. He had to search through this area as fast as possible.

  It wasn’t just Long Chen who was thinking this way. Everyone who entered this world was searching through it without wasting any time.

  Some people were extremely quick, and they had reached the mountains ahead. As a result, a furious roar suddenly rang out from the closest mountain. A multicolored tiger came flying out of a cave.

  “It’s an ancient beast, the Cloud Treading Sword Teeth Tiger!”

  Startled cries rang out. The fastest expert was the unluckiest. By the time he noticed the Cloud Treading Sword Teeth Tiger, it was too late to run.

  Seeing it bounding at him, he let out a shout. His manifestation appeared behind him, and his sword unleashed a wave of divine power. In the face of this twelfth rank ancient beast, he had no choice but to go all-out.

  BOOM!

  The result was that the Cloud Treading Sword Teeth Tiger’s paw slammed into his Sword Qi, blowing it to pieces. The expert coughed up blood as he flew back.

  However, that person was truly powerful. Although his attack had been broken, he left a bloody line on the tiger’s paw. To receive a twelfth rank Magical Beast’s attack, he had to be very powerful.

  Hacking up blood, he was almost torn apart by the shockwaves. A twelfth rank Magical Beast’s power was not something that he could receive.

  Blessing his luck at surviving, he fled. However, just as he exhaled, the Cloud Treading Sword Teeth Tiger opened its mouth. A transparent ball shot toward him.

  BOOM!

  The ball was like a shooting star, giving him no time to dodge. He was blown to pieces, not even his Yuan Spirit surviving.

  The Cloud Treading Sword Teeth Tiger roared. Having been injured, it became even more berserk. It began to attack the other experts.

  Those experts all fled. However, the Cloud Treading Sword Teeth tiger was too fast. Opening its mouth, another ball shot out.

  This time, the ball struck three experts. In the face of death, those three experts went all-out, managing to block its attack. However, they paid an immense price and were sent flying into the distance.

  Seeing this, everyone else avoided the beast. With so many people, all of them avoiding it, in the end, it would be up to the unlucky fellow to draw its attention.

  Because Long Chen hadn’t been in the first wave to enter, he had time to avoid the Cloud Treading Sword Teeth Tiger.

  “This place’s aura is completely different from the outside. Is this the legendary immortal qi?” Long Chen was shocked by this majestic aura. He had never felt this kind of aura, not even in the Spirit World.

  This aura vaguely felt similar to the Spirit World’s Life God Tree, but only ever so slightly.

  “If there’s immortal qi, there must be immortal medicines. I have to find them.” Long Chen’s divine sense suddenly spread in every direction.

  “Hmph, courting death.” The experts around him felt it, and their own Spiritual Strength erupted, attacking Long Chen’s divine sense.

  “Scram!” Long Chen shouted, and his Spiritual Strength suddenly burst forth. The experts who tried to stop him let out screams, almost falling from the sky.

  Long Chen’s Spiritual Strength was incredibly powerful, and if he had mastered spiritual attacks, they’d have died.

  BOOM!

  Long Chen suddenly slashed his saber, cutting across the waist of a mountain. He tossed the portion he had severed into the primal chaos space. He had seen a strange tree that he didn’t recognize, but his intuition told him that it was very likely a treasure.

  He would rather gather it and find out it was trash later on than let it go. He would investigate it later.

  He had just gathered the mountain when he sensed a sharp Sword Qi silently stabbing toward him. By the time he
sensed it, it was about to pierce his body.

  “I’ve been waiting a long time for you, idiot.”

  Long Chen didn’t even look back. Evilmoon stabbed toward his attacker just like that.

  A normal sword was between three and four feet long. Evilmoon on the other hand was nine feet long. That person would have long since struck by the time his sword reached Long Chen.

  A clanging sound rang out as Evilmoon stabbed that person’s arm. His sleeves were torn apart, revealing a black armguard.

  The armguard managed to block Long Chen’s attack, but Long Chen’s saber had so much power behind it that it caused his arm to burst open. Blood poured out of it.

  However, in exchange, his sword stabbed into Long Chen’s shoulder.

  Originally, his sword was aiming for Long Chen’s heart. To a cultivator, that might not be fatal, but it would definitely greatly affect their power and reactions. Rather than aiming for the head which would cause someone to feel mortal danger, aiming for the heart was less likely to raise their guard. So assassins usually targeted the heart first.

  However, Long Chen’s saber was stabbing into his arm, and Long Chen’s body also turned. His sword ended up deviating from its original target.

  His sharp sword pierced Long Chen’s shoulder, but after an inch, it couldn’t stab in any further.

  Dragon scales covered Long Chen’s shoulder, blocking the majority of the sword’s power. The dragon scales were broken now, but strangely, the blood that Long Chen was bleeding out of his shoulder was black.

  BOOM! Light exploded out of Evilmoon, driving that person away.

  Long Chen suddenly slashed his own shoulder. A hunk of flesh was torn off, and it was already turning black and corroding.

  “This is the part of the Bloodkill Hall that I look down on the most. Even in the secular world, assassins don’t put poison on their blades. The reason they’re called assassins is because they like the thrill. They rely on their supreme assassination arts that give them the high of dancing on the tip of a blade. But your Bloodkill Hall will sink to such depths. You’re not even worthy of being called assassins.” Long Chen contemptuously shook his head at that person.

  The one facing him was a man in a silver mask. He slowly took off his mask with his left hand, revealing a very ordinary face. But his eyes were like a viper’s.

  “You don’t even know what assassination arts are. Death shouldn’t be the same every time. Only various assassination methods are able to diversify this art,” he said.

  Long Chen smiled mockingly. “Let’s not talk about such meaningless things. All I want to know is, what Bloodkill number are you?”

  Chapter 1863 Yin Yang Immortal Grass

  This person gave Long Chen a sensation of great pressure. Long Chen even suspected that he was the Bloodkill Hall’s strongest assassin. Rumor was that the Bloodkill Hall’s strongest assassin was above the number rankings.

  However, the only one he knew was Dong Mingyu, who had gotten on the Devil Slaughter Rankings. That name sounded like it belonged to a woman, so this person should not be her.

  “Bloodkill 1 has been slain by you. A new Bloodkill 1 has already been born, but they are no longer qualified to assassinate you. That’s why the mission for your head has been given to us. We belong to the Killing God Hall. I am one of the Killing God Hall’s three divine emissaries. My name and title is Man Killer. The three divine emissaries are ranked heaven, earth, and man, and I am third. I am also the one who will take your life, so remember it,” said that assassin of the Bloodkill Hall.

  “Heaven Killer? Earth Killer? Man Killer?” Long Chen smiled mockingly. “There really is no one that brags like your Bloodkill Hall. If you brag this much, I’ll think that you’re Dong Mingyu. Why hasn’t she come?”

  The assassin shook his head. “Someone like you isn’t qualified to have the divine daughter personally chosen by the Killing God to come kill you. It’s the three divine emissaries that will take your life.”

  Long Chen looked at him. Pointing at Man Killer’s feet, Long Chen shook his head. “You’re bragging so much, but you’ve already made preparations to run. You have no intention of fighting with me. Is there a point to your bragging?”

  The space beneath the Bloodkill Hall’s assassin was starting to shake. It formed a portal for him. He was ready to run at any moment.

  “The Bloodkill Hall’s assassins don’t face people head-on. We’ll just wait for a chance to kill you in one blow. No matter what time it is, as long as you relax the slightest bit, my sword will summon you to the Killing God.”

  “Are you trying to play mental warfare with me? If so, you’re too immature. When you attack the next time, I’ll show you just how laughable your ‘diverse’ assassination arts are.”

  Long Chen laughed and turned away, leaving. The Bloodkill Hall’s assassins were all crafty and slippery. Their fleeing arts were even greater than their assassination arts. If Long Chen tried to fight him head-on, he would immediately slip away.

  The chances of killing a strong assassin were abysmal. Without catching them, there was no chance. They had their own ways of protecting themselves.

  Long Chen wanted to see if he could eliminate such a powerful assassin head-on, but he didn’t have the time to waste. There were more important things to do here.

  That assassin didn’t stop Long Chen from leaving. With a snort, he vanished into thin air. His movement art was inexplicable. There was no way to track him.

  Ignoring that so-called divine emissary of the Killing God, Long Chen rushed toward the mountain range. More Magical Beast roars could be heard from within.

  They were clearly there to defend this place, but the people that had entered were all crazy with greed. These mountains had countless precious medicines growing on them.

  Someone plucked a fruit and ate it. It instantly dissolved, transforming into blood-colored runes that covered his body. Spiritual qi surged toward him crazily, causing his expression to change. He punched himself in the chest, coughing up a mouthful of blood.

  The runes on his body faded. However, he was delighted. This fruit was actually able to allow someone to rapidly advance.

  However, this place was the Yin Yang World, and he was already at the peak of Soul Transformation. He couldn’t make his breakthrough here, so he had to forcibly interrupt that fruit’s effect.

  Seeing the people ahead obtain such priceless treasures, everyone was going crazy. They even ignored the terrifying twelfth rank Magical Beasts, charging deeper into the mountain range.

  Long Chen reached out and grabbed an unremarkable little tree growing out of the cliffside. He also didn’t know its name, but his intuition said it was a treasure.

  He had just gathered it when he saw a python swing its tail like a whip, blowing apart a powerful Empyrean.

  This dangerous region meant a few unlucky people would be targeted by the twelfth rank Magical Beasts. Even Empyreans with awakening manifestations and divine items were only able to endure one or two attacks at most before being killed.

  After killing that person, the python suddenly shot toward Long Chen.

  “Fuck, all I did was look at you!” Long Chen turned and fled. His lightning wings were in full force, and he had no intention of foolishly fighting a twelfth rank Magical Beast directly.

  The python opened its mouth, shooting out a black runic sword at Long Chen. The huge sword was incredibly powerful, but Long Chen activated the Celestial Lightning Body Blink, vanishing and reappearing at the bottom of a distant mountain. He immediately concealed his aura.

  The runic sword missed. The python lost its target and switched to another direction. Several experts there changed their expressions and immediately fled.

  Long Chen stealthily climbed the mountain, looking into the distance. He quickly saw Chu Yao’s figure, but she was very low-key. She was covered in green mist so others couldn’t see her clearly. She was silently profiting.

  “Is that place the core
of this world?”

  Long Chen suddenly noticed a pillar of light in the distance. He sensed the air of primal chaos within it. Black and white runes interwove there, causing the world to shake.

  Within that pillar of light, he could vaguely see a mountain. There was some kind of vegetation growing atop the mountain, one that looked like a flower or a grass but was neither.

  That vegetation was hundreds of meters tall. It had long leaves falling from it. Each leaf was split evenly in the middle with half being black and half being white. The black was the blackest black, while the white was the purest white.

  Between the black and white leaves was a large pole. It was covered in black and white marks.

  At the top of the pole was a sphere several meters thick. It was like a fruit, but this fruit was translucent, and it was sometimes black as night and sometimes white as jade.

  When it was black, a burst of death energy would surge out, raising people’s hair.

  When it was white, endless life energy would nourish the world, filling it with peace.

  Intertwining black and white, alternating Yin and Yang, it was like the world’s Daos were contained within its transformations.

  “Heavens, that’s definitely a legendary Yin Yang Immortal Grass!” shouted someone.

  Yin Yang Immortal Grass. That was something said to be an undying divine medicine that could make a person rise from the dead, transcend reincarnation, and live forever, gaining a lifespan as long as the heavens.

  However, no one had ever seen it. It was only found in stories and myths. Even any details about it were very vague.

  Nevertheless, all those legends had one common point: the Yin Yang Immortal Grass possessed alternating Yin Yang energy that could topple the world.

  If anyone could obtain it, they could control the cycle of life and death, becoming the ruler of a world.

  Of course, as soon as someone shouted the name of the Yin Yang Immortal Grass, everyone’s eyes became crazy with greed. That was something that contained the power to control the world, and whoever possessed it could dominate everyone else.
