Chapter 474: Courting Death

The Qi and blood that surged straight into the heavens lasted a full three days and three nights before calming.

The area around Myriad Symbol Pavilion was filled with countless cultivators gathering.

This is Jin Tian Zhou, famed as a land of chaos; when such a huge commotion erupts, who wouldn't want to come see? A share of the spoils?

But when they saw the source of the Qi and blood came from Myriad Symbol Pavilion, they halted.

The title of the Lord of Myriad Symbol Pavilion has long resonated throughout Jin Tian Zhou; even many super powers cannot contend with it. Who dares to raid Myriad Symbol Pavilion for loot?

Isn't that courting death?

Today Myriad Symbol Pavilion is a ruthless player that dominates both the righteous and demonic Dao, and is hailed by the world as the destined next super power.

Many cultivators only dare to watch from the outside.

"Everyone scared of death?"

At that moment, a loud laugh rang out, "You bunch of cowards, so timid and death‑afraid—what are you doing in Jin Tian Zhou?"

"You don't even dare to seize the opportunity before you."

"All the Lord of Myriad Symbol Pavilion's treasures are right there, waiting for you to take them."

Before the words finished, a streak of light already surged toward the interior of Myriad Symbol Pavilion.

This act stirred countless cultivators into restless motion.

Wealth and honor are sought within danger.

Many desperados followed, leaping up, trying to outrun that streak of light and seize the initiative.

A group of cultivators chased after, thrusting into Myriad Symbol Pavilion; the first streak of light that entered abruptly turned upward and retreated far away.

"Whoa! Who's that? That's so lame!"

"Deliberately luring people in to be the vanguard?"

But at this moment the cultivators couldn't care less about that.

There were the clever, the foolish, and the idiots who thought themselves clever; no one knew what was happening inside Myriad Symbol Pavilion.

If there truly were treasures, the one who rushed forward first and then fled bravely would probably have his guts rotting.

"Huh, that's not right."

At that moment, a great being of the Void God Realm stationed at the rear sensed something abnormal, "Look, the Lord of Myriad Symbol Pavilion hasn't broken out, he's just defending."

"Maybe something really happened."

More and more cultivators saw the clue and rushed into Myriad Symbol Pavilion.

Given the Lord of Myriad Symbol Pavilion's temperament, being ambushed yet not breaking out, only forced to defend, it must mean a major incident.

Too many cultivators covet Myriad Symbol Pavilion; such an opportunity once in a thousand years, they'd risk their lives to try.

Not to mention there are already so many cultivators leading the charge.

Even the Lord of Myriad Symbol Pavilion, however strong, could never slaughter all the cultivators here.

"Kill!"

Desperados near Jin Tian Zhou all joined the charge.

Inside Myriad Symbol Pavilion.

In the small courtyard.

Lin Chuan and Ye Xue, with Lü Ya sipping fine wine, while on the tree beside them a Monkey, angry, clawed at its ears and scratched its face; Shangguan Meng, frightened, turned a deathly pale.

"Your temper is this good?"

Ye Xue raised an eyebrow at Lin Chuan, somewhat puzzled, "Those desperados have already battered up to your doorstep, and you just let them make such a ruckus?"

She didn't understand.

If she were the master of Myriad Symbol Pavilion, she would have already slain the outside desperados clean.

If you dare cause trouble, be prepared to be killed!

"No rush."

Lin Chuan's expression remained calm, "What's there to argue with a bunch of petty thugs?"

Ye Xue sneered, "A swarm of flies is also quite annoying; if you're too lazy to act, I'll take care of it for you."

"Stop."

Lin Chuan halted, "The fish hasn't taken the bait yet."

"Who is the fish?"

Ye Xue was even more confused.

Given Lin Chuan's current strength, he could stride across the two great realms of living beings; if those outside cultivators learned his true power, they'd never dare offend.

An opponent that would make Lin Chuan resort to a 'fishing' tactic...

At the very least, they'd have to be on par with Lin Chuan.

"Some peak True God? Perhaps even a gaze toward a strong one?"

Lin Chuan sipped the fine wine, leisurely saying, "Haven't you noticed a strange aura permeating the air?"

"Although most cultivators of Jin Tian Zhou are desperados, they wouldn't be so reckless."

"You mean someone is pulling the strings behind all this?" Ye Xue frowned.

"Is it that hidden mastermind? the Yang Demon?"

Ye Xue suddenly realized, "What kind of specter is this Yang Demon, targeting you everywhere, destined to decide life or death?"

"I don't know the reason," Lin Chuan laughed, "Perhaps it's coveting some treasure I possess, or maybe I blocked his path."

"Can we catch him?"

Ye Xue couldn't see through at all; that's not an opponent on the same level as him.

"Wait a bit longer, let them cause trouble for a while."

If it were in the past, Lin Chuan could only capture faint traces and truly could not deal with the Sun Demon, but now it is different.

Having returned from the Purple Star Emperor Sect, he advanced the Mediating Creation Method further, and also succeeded in breaking his Physical Body into the Void God Realm, while his soul path also condensed the True God Core.

The ultimate path he walks, with the two supreme techniques in hand, plus the Sword of All Beings.

Enough for him to handle all opponents beneath the Immortal Realm.

Among the cultivators trying to break into Myriad Symbol Pavilion, some are pawns sent by the Sun Demon; he can capture those Karma traces.

As long as he gathers enough Karma traces, he can reverse‑push with the Mediating Creation Method.

Thus he can locate the Sun Demon's position.

Ye Xue also fell silent, sipping fine wine with Lin Chuan and tasting rare delicacies.

Time slipped away bit by bit.

Lin Chuan's silence not only failed to quiet the outside; the turmoil grew ever more intense.

Obviously, the outside world believes the Lord of Myriad Symbol Pavilion truly met misfortune, thinking a heavenly opportunity awaits them.

Just like those ancient tombs that keep emerging in the ruins.

This is still a hot tomb.

Even the Sun Demon was deceived; now the Sun Demon cannot discern Lin Chuan's true or false form at all, and can only probe in this manner.

The Sun Demon is very cautious; Lin Chuan had prepared for a costly capture of the opponent.

Now it seems he overestimated the opponent a bit.

The Sun Demon certainly knows he hasn't died, and has even gone further, yet employs this method to probe, not fearing that he will trace it back and reverse Karma to retrieve it.

Proving the Sun Demon is very confident in his own methods.

Perhaps the Bai Ze clan has never suffered a loss on the Karma path.

"Indeed."

Lin Chuan smiled, "If the Bai Ze clan were all‑knowing and all‑powerful, the Bai Ze of past ages would not have perished; after all, something beyond their comprehension has emerged."

"Almost."

The Karma convergence was collected by the formation he had set up early inside Myriad Symbol Pavilion.

Lin Chuan stood up and stretched lazily.

Beneath his feet, a black spirit sea churned, spreading in the blink of an eye to cover the area around Myriad Symbol Pavilion, and an invisible ripple expanded.

The cultivators striking Myriad Symbol Pavilion hadn't reacted yet when their eyes went white and they fell from the Heavenly Dome as if a torrential rain were pouring down,

smashing onto the ground with a series of bangs.

Those cultivators watching from far away, upon seeing the scene, turned pallid, fled wildly, yet were still affected by the invisible ripple.

At the same time, an invisible aura converged toward Lin Chuan.

Above Myriad Symbol Pavilion, specks of starlight lit up, coalescing into a massive compass, unfolding like a miniature Chaos Universe.

At the compass's center stood a figure in a proud blue robe.

"Karma, reversal."
