041. Reaching a Consensus

“That’s right, it’s exactly as you think.” With those words, he changed direction and launched an attack at Yi Hanxuan. Yi Hanxuan could only dodge.

Thus, at the grand contest of Celestial Machine City, most participants in the Opening Aperture realm were numerous, but as it reached the Self-Fusing Aperture stage, their numbers dwindled.

On the right, the first person was an elder with disheveled hair, unkempt in appearance, clutching a large wine jug in his hand.

Li Tianyou’s arm tensed abruptly, true energy coiling around it. Autumn Water Without a Trace sensed Li Tianyou’s strength, and the sword’s blade emitted an intense, dazzling white light.

“So… what was the outcome…” Lan Youming, now harboring a deep-seated resentment against the agency, spoke in a hoarse voice.

At this moment, Karete was utterly confused as to why Jose was calling again, and even more so, she had no way of knowing from where he was dialing.

“Bang!” In another corner of the arena, the utterly exhausted Tang Xiao’s spirit relaxed, and he fainted, crashing onto the wooden planks.

Only the golden pillar of light that soared skyward grew even brighter and more piercing, accompanied by faint echoes of wind and thunder.

However, the process of perfecting the heart’s primal fire was long and arduous. Ding Huo had not yet completed even the most basic advancement, which was merely the ability to absorb the total amount of primordial energy at the warrior level. Thus, Ding Huo needed earth-ranked fire techniques for reference.

It was clear that Iron Shell was reluctant to discuss such matters behind anyone’s back, but Ael pressed relentlessly, leaving no chance for evasion. Comparing the two, their storytelling skills were worlds apart, their presence on entirely different levels, and the result was obvious—a display of ineptitude before a master.

Li Qian felt as if she were encased in a thick cocoon. She desperately wanted to break free, yet no matter how she tried, she couldn’t escape, and the cocoon only grew thicker. Why was it like this?

A wounded foot soldier lay on the ground, trampled several times by fleeing comrades; one step landed squarely on his chest, causing him to spit blood.

“Courting death!” A Sichuan foot soldier’s gaze turned icy as he looked at the civilian beneath his feet, raising his spear swiftly.

“Someone’s coming out.” A few minutes later, six or seven people slowly emerged from the Twin Towers. Leading them was the shadow shrouded in a black robe.

He had never before visited Bai Zhi’s mansion. When he had first returned from the Xuanming Realm, he’d hurried away to rescue Brahma, but now Bai Zhi’s residence was genuinely lively—not only were Old Zhang and Bai Luo present, but even other immortals friendly with Lord Bai Zhi had come to offer congratulations.

Elder Blackback nodded, exchanged a few polite words with Qin Tian, sent him off, then buried himself in the practice chamber.

Seeing Tang Fuyi accept his invitation with a cheerful smile, Sun Xiangfu signaled to Xi Junmai with a glance. Understanding, Xi Junmai quietly withdrew, and those condemned prisoners nearby, hoping to beg some food or drink, were sent off with a stern look.

The queue was necessary because the people of Jiuwan County had also come to offer gifts. According to local custom, a full moon banquet required red eggs, so everyone brought eggs. As a result, the Sun family received so many eggs they could be measured by the ton.

The real challenge was the construction of the new city in Weinan. Before leaving, Sun Xiangfu had actually given Li Shimin several suggestions, intending for Ma Zhou to take charge of building the new Weinan City.

Now, before me appeared two faces ashen and grim, fissures running across them, blood seeping from within, and maggots crawling out—utterly terrifying.

That slap was delivered with considerable force, immediately leaving five finger marks on Shen Zhiqin’s fair skin.

Those resentments had long taken root in Nie Yingcheng’s heart. As he said himself, from the very beginning, every approach was a premeditated act of revenge.

[Sky Shatter]: A blow that rends the heavens, charging full speed at the opponent. After use, unable to fight for thirty seconds.

Li Nuo was extremely curious about the Silent Forest, especially since he mastered the Silent Thunder, giving him an inexplicable fondness for the forest.

Meng Zhong was naturally placed as the chief contributor by Lord Zhang, who also rewarded him with a large chest of cloth coins. Yet Meng Zhong distributed all of it to his soldiers, treating both the Xinwei Army and the thousands of Dai County troops equally.

“Master, I thought you were above earthly pleasures, but you eat more than I do!” Li Zhuang said, belching after his words.

Yet Xueze had no idea what poison Liu Qing had contracted; using Tianshan healing techniques only made it worse. Suddenly, his strength surged and he broke through the wrecked boat, plunging into the deep river.

Sword Sovereign Jianying had trained long in the Land of Chaos, facing countless dangers. He instantly countered, blocking with a reverse grip, and a golden sword aura slashed horizontally at the black dragon.

Just the thought that, because of her injury, Shen Zhiqin had the opportunity to get close to Shi Jiacheng made Tang Yinluo even angrier.

After finishing, he grasped my hand, his face filled with gratitude, calling me a true master.

Phantom felt an immense surge of energy rush toward his brow, shocking him to his core. He knew exactly what the other intended, but was powerless to stop it; the difference in strength between them was too great. Just as his mind thundered and his sea of consciousness was about to be shattered—

All of it was entrusted to him by Dustless, who had also placed a special treasure upon him. If necessary, it could be activated at any time. Of course, this had nothing to do with Leo’s will, since the treasure would only appear after Leo’s will had dissipated.

Camilla nodded in agreement. Previously, other contestants couldn’t even break through Ael’s barrier, but now Dustless nearly crippled him with a single kick—the difference was staggering.

“Catching ghosts isn’t a problem, but we just can’t find them now.” Having drunk, my words were somewhat slurred and mystical, thumping my chest loudly.

“We’re still troubled over how to overthrow the World Government, while you’ve already anticipated the future course of the great sea. The difference is clear.” Long sincerely admired.

“There’s actually… such a thing.” The only one who half-believed listened to her recount the past, “But who could go to such lengths to drive you out of the Donka family?” Would Catherine Donka really threaten them?

Obito nodded in agreement. The size of this gigantic Buddha exceeded the bounds of human understanding. Calling its technique divine was no exaggeration, but its target was equally massive; such a size was hardly suited for movement.

“I’ll go with you, even if it means dying by your side—” Yang Yue’s voice was ethereal, yet her gaze at me held no hesitation.

Chen Ziming couldn’t keep up the pretense of unconsciousness any longer. Lying in Yan Chengxi’s arms, he looked at the frost-cold Gu Jiaojiao and, even his voice trembled as he asked.
