Chapter 3166: All Are Misfits

It's also good if others take the mission, after all, the more people, the greater the strength.

The old man reckoned he had a few trump cards, but with his cultivation level, rescuing two demon ancestors remained a nine‑deaths‑one‑life chance, almost impossible.

If he weren't truly driven to desperation, he wouldn't have taken this path.

After all, anyone capable of capturing two demon ancestors certainly isn't an easy opponent.

So if there were helpers, that would naturally be good.

Anyway, he only needed one demon ancestor; as long as he rescued it, he could escape, and the mission reward was irrelevant.

From various places in the myriad heavens, seven figures, without prior agreement, all rushed toward the direction of Beyond the Heavens.

As for Beyond the Heavens, the seven were utterly unfamiliar, none having been there before, and each of them had been driven to a dead end, all wanting to give it their all.

There were no particularly strict restrictions from the myriad heavens to Beyond the Heavens; on the contrary, the seven entered Beyond the Heavens quite smoothly.

However, merely entering Beyond the Heavens was only the beginning; to rescue the Tiger Ancestor and the Deer Ancestor, they had to find a way into the Human Race's Immortal Realm.

Moreover, compared with entering Beyond the Heavens, wanting to enter the worlds where the various races reside is entirely different.

Not to mention the Shenjie of the innate races; even the ordinary world of the acquired races requires outsiders to undergo strict screening to enter.

As for that, the seven had already prepared, each thinking they would first go to the Human Race's Immortal Realm to scout the situation before deciding further.

After all, seeing is believing; since they still didn't know what the situation was like for the Human Race in Beyond the Heavens, they naturally couldn't devise an accurate plan.

Thus, the seven happened to meet not far from the Immortal City Beyond the Heavens, without prior arrangement.

"From the myriad heavens?"

The seven bumped into each other, all looking sneaky as they surveyed the Immortal City Beyond the Heavens, and quickly guessed each other's purpose.

The old man spoke first, though his brows were tightly knit.

His gaze swept over the other six, his mouth twitched, and he muttered, "Damn, what a bunch of freaks."

I had thought he was already desperate enough to risk his life.

With such cultivation, daring to take on the job of rescuing demon ancestors is truly somewhat ignorant of the heights of heaven and depths of earth.

But upon seeing these six others, the old man suddenly felt he was comparatively more steady.

At least he still had perfect cultivation in the Ancient Immortal Realm; although his attempt to break through to the Present Era's Strongest had failed, he was still only one step away.

But these six right here—damn, they've even brought out Heavenly Immortal Realm cultivators.

Such cultivation, placed in the myriad heavens, would be a dime‑a‑dozen existence even in the lowest‑tier worlds.

After sizing them up, the old man finally spoke slowly.

"What on earth were you thinking, daring to come here?"

Among the six, the two Heavenly Immortal Realm cultivators are the young disciple and the girl.

There is also a middle‑aged man at the Immortal King Realm, and a married couple both at the Immortal Emperor Realm.

The highest cultivation among them belongs to an old woman at the Immortal Sovereign Realm; with this lineup, the old man felt the rescue of the demon ancestors was about eighty percent doomed to fail.

In response to the old man's inquiry, the young disciple stepped forward and bowed.

"Senior, I am forced into this; since we're all doomed anyway, why not give it our all?"

"Me too."

"Us too."

"Huh???"

Hearing the six's words, the old man understood: each of the seven in their team was someone who couldn't go on living, which is why they had chosen to come here for a desperate gamble.

If they succeeded, it would be defying heaven to change fate and live a second life.

If they failed, it wouldn't matter either, since they were all destined to die anyway.

For a moment, the old man was so angry he laughed; he had expected help, but instead got six burdens.

Even the old woman with the highest cultivation, an Immortal Sovereign Realm, had such a feeble, floating aura that one couldn't tell how many drugs she had taken to get there.

This was nothing but a hollow show, a paper tiger; her true combat power might not even match that of the Immortal Emperor Realm couple.

What a fine pair of hidden dragons and phoenix chicks.

Thinking this to himself, the old man then spoke directly.

"If that's the case, then let's each rely on our own abilities."

"Senior, are you leaving? Not going with us?"

"You lot? This old man prefers to act alone."

Casting a contemptuous glance at the six, the old man offhandedly threw down a line.

"Acting together with you six would be a sure death, damn it."

Having said that, without waiting for a reply, the old man flickered and vanished on the spot.

Although he was no great talent, he at least had perfect cultivation in the Ancient Immortal Realm, achieved through his own effort and innate aptitude in Xiūliàn, and was utterly unlike that drug‑popping paper tiger of an old woman.

Therefore, compared with acting alongside those six good‑for‑nothings, he felt he had a better chance on his own.

As the old man departed, the six did not try to stop him, after all, they couldn't have stopped him anyway.

Afterward, the six exchanged greetings, each gave a brief introduction, and the old woman spoke first.

"Alright, then how should we enter the city now?"

To enter the Human Race's Immortal Realm, we must first get into the Immortal City Beyond the Heavens; if we can't even enter the city, everything else is empty talk, meaningless.

However, the six's identities are unclear, and only the youth, the girl, and the middle‑aged man belong to the Human Race; the other three are not.

Lacking credentials and not being of the same race, entering the city is no easy feat.

Regarding that, the girl lowered her head and spoke weakly.

"I might be able to give it a try."

"You? What method do you have?"

Upon hearing this, the gazes of the remaining five all fell on the girl. A little Heavenly Immortal realm maiden—could she help them get into the city? That sounds utterly unreliable.

Under the five's gazes, the girl lowered her head even further, her voice as faint as a mosquito's buzz; if not everyone present were cultivators, they likely wouldn't hear what she was saying.

"I have a way to temporarily bewilder the people in the city; then we can take the opportunity to enter the Immortal Realm."

Huh???

As soon as she said that, the five all froze. Bewilder the whole city's people? Little brat, who do you think you are?

An ancestor-level figure? Besides bewildering the whole city, why don't you just say you'd charge straight in and slaughter your way to rescue those two demon ancestors?

That sounded too fantastical; after a moment of dazed silence, only the young disciple spoke, half-believing, half-doubting.

"Are you sure you can do it?"

"I suppose so."

"Then how would you administer the poison?"

"Innate Divine Ability."

Huh???

Just four simple words, yet they made the five present startle again—does this little girl have a special constitution?

That's not really strange; after all, special constitutions aren't many, but they're certainly not few.

Among the myriad worlds, in any world, people with special constitutions are plentiful.

Moreover, special constitutions vary in strength; a strong one can help one reach the pinnacle and dominate a region.

As for a weak special constitution, it's actually useless, sometimes even a burden.

Yet looking at the girl's appearance, everyone simply couldn't tell what kind of special constitution she possessed to wield such power.
