Chapter 166: It's over, this person has gone mad
"Really, human hearts are unfathomable."
Ye Chen said, he didn't have much feeling about it, just sighing.
"Actually, such things, when I was surviving in Xingkong, I often saw them; when I saw those three people squatting looking for the Undying Elixir, I already guessed this outcome."
Spring Flower also said then, for such matters, it was already commonplace; if they hadn't killed each other, it would have been greatly surprised.
At this time, more than ten Mahayana cultivators had already become entangled in battle, while Ye Chen and the others were still watching calmly.
After all, many Mahayana cultivators and Quasi-Emperor experts hidden in the darkness had not yet taken action.
They all wanted to be the oriole behind the mantis.
Xingkong trembled; fortunately, this expanse of Xingkong is immensely vast, so although their battle was extremely shocking, its influence did not spread far, after all they were not yet Immortal Kings who could casually affect heaven and earth.
As the battle proceeded, many Mahayana cultivators fell; Ye Chen looked at their fallen corpses, unmoved.
"If I absorb the cultivation of these fallen Mahayana cultivators, I could quickly reach Mahayana perfection; just thinking about it makes my heart itch."
Ye Chen said in his heart.
But now is not the time; obviously, the value of that stalk of Undying Elixir is far greater than the cultivation of those Mahayana cultivators.
Therefore, Ye Chen did not intend to absorb the cultivation of those fallen Mahayana cultivators, even though he was tempted.
"Stop, everyone, if we keep fighting like this, we'll achieve nothing but pointlessly sacrificing our lives."
At this moment, someone suddenly shouted, and as he shouted, the cultivators who were fighting all stopped their actions.
How could they not understand this reasoning?
But they had no choice, after all, they all wanted to secretly take the Undying Elixir for themselves.
The Undying Elixir, a supreme treasure that can let experts below the Celestial Emperor live another life, they could not possibly remain unmoved.
"Then what do you suggest we do?"
At this time someone asked the question, and as the question was posed, everyone looked toward the person who had shouted earlier.
Seeing everyone's gaze turn to him, he lightly exhaled and said, "We can split the Undying Elixir equally; although this would reduce its potency, it would be better than us dying here and letting others reap the benefits."
He said each word deliberately.
And as his words fell, the others also began to ponder.
An Undying Elixir with reduced potency would no longer be called an Undying Elixir; that is also why everyone suddenly fell silent.
The person who had shouted earlier also saw everyone's thoughts and said, "Although the Undying Elixir's potency would be reduced, it is still an Undying Elixir, effective for experts below the Great Emperor; are you really willing to fight until you're battered and bloody, only to let someone else reap the benefits in the end?"
His words undoubtedly struck deep into their hearts.
Indeed, they were not willing to just let others take advantage of them.
"We have six people here; splitting it six ways, okay?"
At this moment another voice sounded; as the proposal was spoken, the others did not veto it, apparently all approving this method.
Immediately, they surrounded the Undying Elixir; the Undying Elixir, being spiritual, showed a fearful expression upon seeing itself surrounded.
The Undying Elixir's potency is extremely terrifying, but the world's balance gives it terrifying potency without giving it terrifying combat power.
Otherwise, if the Undying Elixir could fight while repairing itself, even an Immortal could not withstand it.
The six stared at the Undying Elixir with tiger-like intensity; just as they were about to act, suddenly a beam of divine light carrying supreme might struck them, its terrifying power shattering the surrounding space.
The six quickly dodged, but two failed to dodge in time, were struck by the divine light and fell on the spot; the few still alive instantly realized this was a Quasi-Emperor... making a move!
"Damn it!"
"How is this possible?! I hadn't sensed anyone nearby before!"
"Flee!"
Suddenly a loud roar rang out, and the remaining four survivors fled in panic; even the Quasi-Emperor had intervened, so they no longer needed to contend for the Undying Elixir.
Before a Quasi-Emperor, aside from those unparalleled heavenly talents, others basically have no strength to fight; before a Quasi-Emperor, they can only be slaughtered.
However, just as they were preparing to flee, an irresistible aura suddenly appeared; the moment this aura appeared, the four's expressions instantly turned to terror.
"This is the technique of the Void Whale Clan that grows in the Void! Damn it, we can't escape!"
Among the four, whoever spoke those words, the moment they were uttered, their faces turned ashen.
The Void Whale Clan, born in the Void, takes the Void as its home; entering the Void is their best escape method, yet now it has become a place that can take their lives.
"Oh? I didn't expect anyone to recognize my identity; how rare. In that case, I could consider leaving you a complete corpse."
In the Void, a suddenly resounded incredibly ethereal male voice; as this voice appeared, the three individuals among them ignited with black flames, and in an instant their bodies were completely burned to ashes.
And the remaining person also died silently in vain; the whole process occurred within three breaths.
At this time, Ye Chen and the others also clearly saw the owner of that voice, a youth clad in purple robes.
With sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, a pair of purple pupils that seemed to contain the vast starry sea, profoundly deep.
And with his appearance, Spring Flower told Ye Chen that in this expanse of Void, many people had come and gone over time.
Currently, five Mahayana cultivators remain, and one Quasi-Emperor has not left.
Ye Chen heard this and furrowed his brow.
This is not good news for him; with so many Mahayana cultivators gone, how is he supposed to absorb cultivation?
But fortunately, one Quasi-Emperor remains, which is also not bad for him.
Yes, Ye Chen hasn't even started fighting yet, but he's already eyeing those five Quasi-Emperors.
One of them is even renowned as the Void's darling, the Void Whale Clan.
Spring Flower sensed Ye Chen's gaze and tremulously asked, "You wouldn't be thinking of targeting them, would you? I can tell you, if I don't join the fight, five Quasi-Emperors would scare a donkey to death."
"Let's see; maybe they'll start fighting among themselves—the temptation of a second life is something few can resist, especially for such powerful experts with deep cultivation."
Ye Chen said.
"Everyone, aren't you planning to come out? This stalk of Undying Elixir, I, Xue Teng, claim it; whoever disagrees, feel free to fight me—if you beat me, the Undying Elixir is yours."
The moment Xue Teng's words fell, the remaining five Mahayana cultivators all fled, leaving only Ye Chen as the sole Mahayana cultivator present.
Are you sure you won't run? But you're the only Great Vehicle cultivator.
Chun Hua suddenly asked Ye Chen.
「Why would I run? 」
Ye Chen counter-questioned, and at this moment, Chun Hua also noticed the light in Ye Chen's eyes, that was...... the light of excitement as if seeing prey.
「It's over, this person is crazy...... 」
