Chapter 457: Otherworld Flower Seed Obtained

On the altar, as the Artifact Maniac turned into dust and dissipated bit by bit, only a Prison Heaven Staff and a withered Otherworld Flower were left on the altar.

The people below all looked at these two things with glowing eyes, their breathing rapid.

Finally, someone couldn't help it anymore and was the first to step on the altar steps. If there was a first, there would be a second. Soon it was the third. Not long after, the Gu Kings below frantically rushed onto the altar. The Gu Kings rushed onto the altar from the east, south, west, and north sides at the same time.

Everyone had a crazy expression, looking at the two things on the altar with greedy eyes.

Especially the divine artifact Prison Heaven Staff, which gathered the most gazes.

When Long Xuan perceived that the Otherworld Flower still had a seed with life aura, he couldn't help it anymore and immediately rushed toward the altar.

He planned to plant the Otherworld Flower in his mobile medicine garden. Not to mention the heaven-defying effect of the Otherworld Flower that could resurrect the dead, just the boost the Otherworld Flower brought to the Heaven-Devouring World Toad was enough to make him go to great lengths.

What's more, the Otherworld Flower was one of the top eight divine flowers in the world, the highest-level spiritual flower known in this world. He was looking forward to what kind of changes the honey made from Otherworld Flower nectar would bring to the Bee King Bing Bing.

Once Bing Bing evolved because of this, under the promotion of its royal jelly, the entire ice bee group would have a huge improvement.

Under such temptation, Long Xuan finally decided to participate in the competition for the Otherworld Flower.

So what if there were more than two hundred Gu Kings here

He had used the Magma Heavenly Fire Lightning Tribulation to temper his body, so his physical strength was already superhuman. With all abilities disabled, he was invincible here. How could this group of Gu Kings be his match? So what if he single-handedly challenged these two hundred Gu Kings? His face was fake anyway, so what if he offended all the Gu Kings here? Realizing that he was invincible here, Long Xuan no longer took any Gu King seriously and charged toward the altar at full speed.

With his powerful physical strength, his speed in climbing the steps was far faster than the others, and he soon caught up from behind, leaving all the Gu Kings in his wake.

Not long after, Long Xuan was the first to rush onto the altar. Before he could carefully examine the two treasures, he took the Otherworld Flower and the Prison Heaven Staff into his storage ring amidst the angry glares of everyone.

"You brat! How dare you!"

"Kid! Are you looking for death!"

"A mere Spirit Sea stage Gu cultivator dares to lay a finger on such divine objects; you truly don't know how to value your life!"

Seeing both divine objects taken away by a lowly Spirit Sea stage Gu cultivator, the expressions of all the Gu Kings changed, and they all revealed angry looks.

Soon, one Gu King after another climbed onto the altar, glaring angrily as they attacked Long Xuan.

Yet, how could Long Xuan take these tigers who had lost their sharp claws and teeth seriously? With one punch, an old man had a row of teeth knocked out and fell heavily to the ground. With one kick, another Gu King was sent flying, rolling to the bottom of the altar and knocking over who knows how many Gu Kings along the way.

Long Xuan swung both fists, and not a single Gu King in the arena was a match for him. The Gu Kings who got close were either knocked to the ground by a punch or rolled off the altar in a sorry state, their dignity as powerhouses completely gone.

This scene made the group of Gu Kings even angrier.

Two hundred Gu Kings were being beaten up by a Spirit Sea stage junior; where were they supposed to put their faces?

If this matter got out, they, this group of Gu Kings, would have no face left to mix in the Gu World. Since it concerned the dignity of Gu King powerhouses, the Gu Kings in the back, even knowing this kid was not to be trifled with, still glared angrily and charged up one after another.

"Junior! Stop being so presumptuous; let this King meet you!"

A fat Gu King raised a large hammer and smashed it toward the back of Long Xuan's head. However, it was as if the back of Long Xuan's head had eyes; his palm suddenly turned golden, and he turned around to smash a heavy punch into the incoming hammer! "Bang!" The fist collided with the hammer, the sound of the impact deafening, and those nearby felt their eardrums ache.

The fat Gu King's hand went numb, the large hammer flew out of his hand, and his entire body was sent flying horizontally. He vomited a mouthful of blood and rolled heavily down the steps, smashing into a crowd of people.

Long Xuan swept his right leg horizontally, and three more Gu Kings were struck in the head. They screamed and fell down the steps in a sorry state.

"This... this kid... how can his body be so strong? Two hundred Gu Kings are being beaten to a pulp by a Spirit Sea stage kid; this is truly the biggest joke in the world!"

Zhuge Yuan pointed at the altar with trembling fingers, his voice shaking, his speech incoherent.

"A freak! This kid is truly a freak! How exactly was this body tempered? With all abilities disabled, he treats fighting Gu Kings across a major realm like beating up his own grandsons. Two hundred Gu Kings joining forces are not his match; it's truly unbelievable."

Jiu Kang looked at him in shock, his expression as uncomposed as it could be.

"Sigh! Single-handedly challenging two hundred Gu Kings across a major realm; this kid will have plenty to brag about after he gets out. We established powerhouses have become stepping stones for this kid's fame."

He Jiong wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and revealed a bitter smile.

The group of Gu Kings were miserable, but Long Xuan was enjoying himself. A Gu King under his left foot, a Gu King under his right fist, sweeping through the crowd of Gu Kings across a major realm—it couldn't be more satisfying.

With his physique, he could rush down the altar at any time, break through the encirclement, and escape.

But he didn't do that; instead, he stood on the altar without moving, letting the endless stream of Gu Kings charge up.

He wanted to beat all the Gu Kings half-dead; otherwise, after he rushed down the altar, all the Gu Kings would recover their abilities. Even if they weren't at the Gu King realm, he didn't need to fear them, but being hunted by a group of Gu Kings who could use their abilities would still give him a headache.

It was better to take this opportunity to severely injure all the Gu Kings. The more severely injured the Gu Kings were, the safer he would be after walking off the altar.

With this thought in mind, Long Xuan's punches became three parts heavier. Even when a beautiful female Gu King rushed over, he showed no mercy, slapping her to the ground without hesitation.

Not long after, the altar was covered with Gu Kings lying in all directions, their wails constant.

"Who else?"

Long Xuan stepped on a Gu King, stood on the altar, and looked around. Seeing that there were very few people left standing, he laughed wildly, walked down the altar, carried Zhu Jiuge on his back, and finally ran far away.

Watching the back of this fierce star as he left, Zhuge Yuan let out a long sigh and raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.

The pressure this kid put on him was simply too great. He was afraid that this kid, in order to have no resistance while escaping, would rush over and give him a punch before leaving.

Now it seemed his worry was unnecessary.

But now that this kid dared to jump off the altar and leave, didn't that mean he wasn't afraid of them chasing him after they recovered their abilities? Just how strong was this kid? Even when suppressed in the secret realm, a Gu King was enough to kill a Spirit Sea stage Gu cultivator in seconds. Yet, when outnumbered, he didn't take them seriously at all.

Zhuge Yuan's gaze became increasingly grave. (End of chapter)
