Chapter 236: Dividing the Spoils

Blade Light Long River engulfed the golden‑robed elder entirely, without a trace of waste; all the power converged, all used to erase his Divine Body.

Boom!

The golden‑robed elder instantly vanished, his Divine Body disappearing, leaving only his armor, weapon, and a World Ring.

Xiao Yu casually performed a move; the World Force drew the loot in, absorbing it into his internal world.

"San Yan Wang, you're really getting stronger!"

"One move killed a Seal King Peak Strong One!"

"Even if this move weren't inside the altar tower, without a Space Seal, that golden‑robed elder couldn't escape."

You Huang Wang, Xuan Dao Wang, Hong Ye Wang, and Yu Dao Wang marveled at the power of Xiao Yu's strike.

Inside the altar tower control room.

"Tribe elder!"

"Brother!"

"Everyone, I've just obtained the Permission for this altar tower," Xiao Yu suddenly said, "I just discovered there are eight Seal King natives inside the altar tower, and they've already arrived."

Xuan Dao Wang, Hong Ye Wang, and Yu Dao Wang, five in total, walked to the ancient treasure chest bound by twelve chains; there they alternated brute force and various techniques, tried every method, and finally, unwillingly, kicked the chest hard, causing the space itself to collapse.

"Revenge for the tribe elder!"

All sorts of methods were tried, yet still couldn't open the chest.

The treasure room, entirely cast from G-level Metal, was covered with countless Secret Patterns; the interior measured 20 m long, 20 m wide, 10 m high, and the metallic floor bore twelve iron locks, tightly sealing the ancient chest that had existed for billions of years.

"Not bad, according to the AI, this altar tower connects to the natives' Divine Kingdom, and it's a Gu Ding Tong Dao." Xiao Yu continued, "Besides the eight arriving Seal King strong ones, the other strong ones, the strongest are only Seal King primary level."

"Alien Tribe, you all should die!" shouted the black‑robed Seal King among the eight six‑armed Alien Tribe.

"Let's fight them!"

This chest cannot be taken, but it can be opened.

The movements of the eight native Seal Kings were all transmitted in real time by the altar tower to Xiao Yu.

Suddenly, eight strong, overwhelming Immortal breaths assaulted.

"San Yan, why don't you try it?" You Huang Wang suggested.

"Alright, let them out, then close the control room doors; without my Permission, no one may enter again," Xiao Yu ordered.

"Fine." Xiao Yu nodded slightly.

"Master, they are about to rush out to revenge you," the altar tower AI transmitted.

Without employing the system or the Ultimate Treasure Thousand Faces Mask, Xiao Yu still cannot open it; the chest requires the natives' Life Breath and a sigil to be opened.

"Give me those eight," Xiao Yu turned, rushing toward the passage, "Now that I've obtained the altar tower's greatest treasure, I naturally need a bit more power."

Xiao Yu tried various methods, yet still couldn't open the chest.

You Huang Wang and the five others followed closely, charging out.

"What? This altar tower actually has AI!" You Huang Wang exclaimed, surprised that his own companion AI hadn't detected the altar tower's intelligence, let alone breached it.

"The natives have arrived; two of them are Seal King Peak Strong Ones," You Huang Wang gripped his Great Axe tightly.

"Revenge!"

Behind the black‑robed Alien Tribe were many of their kin sharing the same hatred, and waves of Immortal Divine Power attacks surged toward Xiao Yu.

"Hmph!" With Xiao Yu's cold snort, the surrounding space's Time Pause activated.

Regardless of the Seal King Alien Tribe or the attacks they launched, everything froze.

Then Xiao Yu swung the Chaos Blade in his hand, unleashing eight cuts; under Space-Time Acceleration, he was like one slash producing eight Open Heaven strikes.

The dim blade light cut through space; as it passed, it left a long black line that remained frozen, never restoring.

The blade light moved faster than light, instantly piercing the target; each Blade Light Long River contained Xiao Yu's lifelong insight.

The eight time‑paused Alien Tribe Seal Kings instantly vanished, leaving only piles of loot on the passage floor as proof of their existence.

Xiao Yu's mind communicated with the temporal fluctuations; the Time Pause was lifted.

These eight Alien Tribe's lineages were broken, lacking secret arts and treasures; their strength ranks at the bottom among Seal Kings.

If Luo Feng encountered a Seal King's Time Pause, perhaps his strong will could break free from its shackles. But these eight Alien Tribe certainly could not.

"Hey, San Yan, if you use your Time Pause ability again, could you separate friend from foe?" You Huang Wang complained lightly.

"Indeed! Fighting alongside you, I'm always worried you might kill me someday!" Long Zhan Wang said.

Last time battling the venerable one, the situation was urgent and we overlooked it; now, facing only eight Seal King Alien Tribe, we already managed to pause five of them as well.

"Haha! My mistake," Xiao Yu scratched his head, laughing awkwardly.

Within this altar tower, the Space Seal is highly unfriendly to those seeking the spatial origin, but especially friendly to those probing the temporal origin.

Xiao Yu pointed at the eight piles of loot on the ground and said, "These eight people's items will serve as my compensation to you all."

"Really?" Long Zhan Wang said, "Although these Alien Tribe are poor, a Seal King's worth is at least tens of billions of Mixed Yuan Units."

"San Yan, your strength is formidable and you're generous; I even want to cling to your leg," Yu Dao Wang pretended to be shy.

"Yu Dao Wang, you gay, you can't be stupid from cultivation!" Xuan Dao Wang slapped Yu Dao Wang.

"Really, everyone take it generously," Xiao Yu smiled, "Actually, besides the altar tower itself, I'm only truly interested in one thing: the Secret Pattern weapon, or the method to forge a Secret Pattern weapon."

Yu Dao Wang was the first to take the Seal King Peak Alien Tribe's World Ring; Immortal Divine Power seeped into the World Ring, "Not bad, huh, there are quite a few treasures."

"Damn, you kid got it first again," Xuan Dao Wang, who only managed to snatch a World Ring belonging to an Immortal Lord King High Strong One.

The five quickly finished distributing the loot.

Xiao Yu returned to the treasure room, approached the ancient chest bound by twelve chains; with a thought, the Ultimate Treasure Thousand Faces Mask simulated his Life Breath as that of a native.

Xuan Dao Wang and the other five followed.

Xiao Yu took a deep breath, gently brushed his right hand over the chest.

"Drip!"

The chest's sensing system begins to identify.

Life Breath confirmed!

Faith sigil confirmed!

"Snap!" the chest's previously locked lid automatically releases.

Inside the chest lie three World Rings.

"San Yan Wang, quickly see what treasures are inside," Yu Dao Wang urged.

Xiao Yu's World Force sweeps over, and the three World Rings are all ownerless.

They examine them one by one.

Within the first World Ring is a boundless world; towering metal mountains rise, countless rare liquids form lakes, fleets of E Ji Feichuan ships, etc., and all the items are in massive quantities.

"The first World Ring contains various treasures for use by Realm Lords, Domain Lords, Universe-level, star-level, and planet-level tiers," Xiao Yu said casually, "I guess you all might not be able to use them either; these happen to be exactly what I need."

Xiao Yu tosses the first World Ring to the crowd for inspection.

"We are already Immortal Lord Kings, we no longer need those basic cultivation resources; even if it contains an entire world's resources, it's actually not much and not worth much money," Long Zhan Wang said as Immortal Divine Power swept over the first World Ring.
