Chapter 2036

"Good!" Everyone agreed to Daoist Tianchong's suggestion.

Gu Baiping said: "Then let us go collect the Primordial Purple Qi here right now!"

"No one is to secretly enter the Grand Hall!"

"Otherwise, they will have to endure the all-out attacks of the other three!"

The four flew off in four different directions, and with a boom, plunged into that boundless Primordial Purple Qi.

He had originally thought this stuff could be collected.

But when he reached the location of the Primordial Purple Qi, He Pingsheng discovered he was wrong.

Layer upon layer stacked here; it looked like Primordial Purple Qi, but actually was not.

It was merely a clump of qi bearing the aura of Primordial Purple Qi.

Or rather, a reflection, something similar to what an illusion array produces!

"Wrong!" Gu Baiping shouted, saying: "This isn't Primordial Purple Qi, this is an illusion array!"

Four streaks of light flew back respectively, landing once more beneath this smooth cloister.

"This should be an illusion array!" Gu Changsheng frowned and said: "It's not real Primordial Purple Qi; I said, how could so much Primordial Purple Qi possibly exist in this world!"

"Fellow Daoists, there is no other choice now!"

"Go in!"

He gestured with his chin toward the Grand Hall on the left.

The majestic Grand Hall had eight gates in total!

Each gate was several dozen zhang wide and three hundred zhang high!

The eight gates as a whole presented a bronze-gold color, flowing with a matte luster, looking brand new.

Moreover, there were no arrays or restrictions outside these hall gates.

But He Pingsheng's Divine Sense could not penetrate them, unable to sweep inside.

"Fellow Daoists!" Gu Changsheng spoke again: "Before entering, this poor Daoist has a few words to say first!"

Everyone nodded.

Gu Changsheng paused, then continued: "There may be heavy treasures inside the hall, but it may also be a trap meticulously set by someone!"

"If unknown danger is encountered, please everyone unite as one and strike with full force!"

"If treasures are bumped into, then it's every man for himself!"

"Good!" He Pingsheng nodded.

Everyone else also had no objections.

"Follow me!" Gu Changsheng took a step forward, his Divine Sense and divine power both surging, then pushed against those heavy eight gates.

Very unexpectedly, the gates opened easily.

A purplish-red light, like flowing water, spilled out from within the gates!

The piercing red light even made He Pingsheng unable to open his eyes.

In that instant, He Pingsheng's Divine Sense also could not sweep out.

This time lasted a full four breaths, then the flowing light finally vanished.

He Pingsheng opened his eyes, and simultaneously his Divine Sense swept out; he finally saw the situation inside the Grand Hall.

The Grand Hall was huge!

Length and width both spanned a thousand zhang, height reached three to four hundred zhang.

Four people stood at the entrance, compared to the entire Grand Hall they were like ants.

And in the void at the very center of the Grand Hall, floated a black-cored thing shooting out purplish-red light.

That thing presented a round shape, about a chi in size, just like a bead.

The key point was, on this bead, it was entirely the aura of Primordial Purple Qi.

The light spilling out was precisely Primordial Divine Light.

"This is..." Daoist Tianchong was the first to fly out, lunging toward that bead.

Gu Baiping said: "Fellow Daoist Wang, quick... this is the Primordial Origin!"

As she spoke, Gu Baiping also flew out; her speed was also very fast, only lagging behind Daoist Tianchong by a single body length.

As for Gu Changsheng, he was even faster; he had actually charged out even earlier than Daoist Tiancheng, his speed unmatched.

Only He Pingsheng gave a cold laugh.

He did not move at the first moment, instead standing leisurely in place.

It wasn't that He Pingsheng reacted a beat slower than the others, but that there was simply no need!

"Boom—"

A black spear-shadow flashed past!

Daoist Tianchong had attacked.

He worried that the even faster Gu Changsheng would seize the Primordial Origin first, and his own speed couldn't catch up, so he could only directly launch an attack to slow the other's speed!

Gu Changsheng wasn't a fool, naturally he was also prepared.

He early on propped open a silver shield, blocking Daoist Tianchong's attack.

Simultaneously his Divine Sense moved, a silver rope flew out, instantly binding the slender waist of Gu Baiping who was flying forward.

Thus, all three were dragged to a halt in midair.

Gu Baiping said: "Gu Changsheng, what is the meaning of this?"

Gu Changsheng didn't speak, raising his hand he brought the blade down, a slash chopping toward the top of Daoist Tianchong's head.

None of the three could approach that black-red bead; instead they fought in midair, each guarding against the others while simultaneously restraining them.

One after another, thick and surging energy surged outward, but when these energies struck the walls of the hall, they vanished without a trace.

They could not damage the hall in the slightest.

Gu Baipin said: "Wang Dun, why are you standing there? Hurry up and charge forward!"

He Pingsheng smiled, performed a Void Swift Movement, and vanished from the spot.

When he reappeared, he was already beside the pearl about a chi in size, reached out to test it, then instantly took the pearl and secretly placed it into the treasure basin.

Seeing this, the three people who had been fighting chaotically stopped instantly and then, without prior agreement, flew toward He Pingsheng.

In an instant, the three surrounded He Pingsheng.

"Kid……hand it over!" Tian Chong Daoist glared at He Pingsheng with malice.

He Pingsheng coldly laughed: "Just before entering, we agreed that virtue resides with the capable—whoever has the ability takes it……Isn't that right?"

"Courting death!"

Tian Chong Daoist's black long spear erupted again, this time aimed at He Pingsheng.

As the spear emerged, a fierce black spear wind blew forth.

He Pingsheng did not dare to be careless, yet he was not overly fearful either.

Now everyone is at the Divine Lord realm—do I, He Pingsheng, still fear you?

He drew the Hongmeng Purple Gold Staff, casually blocked it, even without using any divine ability, and managed to deflect most of Tian Chong Daoist's attack, leaving only a remnant force that blasted into He Pingsheng, sending him flying and slamming him hard against the wall.

Though He Pingsheng appeared to be at a disadvantage, he actually was not.

He was not unable to block it—he simply had not exerted his full strength in defense.

"Damn……" Tian Chong Daoist's pupils narrowed slightly: "This strong……again……"

"Chi Xiao Burn God……"

"Make me die……"

Boom……

Tian Chong Daoist shouted, launching another spear blast at He Pingsheng.

This time was different.

The previous spear was just a casual thrust, but this one was Tian Chong Daoist's innate divine ability.

This divine ability is named 【Chi Xiao Burn God】, and it is his strongest strike.

The divine spear carried fire-attribute divine power, instantly sealing the surrounding void, preventing He Pingsheng from escaping.

At the same time, the incoming divine spear echoed with the sound of wind and thunder.

The black divine spear turned crimson, and around the crimson divine spear, billions of runes flickered upon it; the divine spear, originally only about a zhang in size, instantly expanded to a hundred zhang, obscuring a large portion of He Pingsheng's vision before crashing down upon him.

"Good timing!" He Pingsheng did not dodge.

Everyone is at the Divine Lord realm—just a one-on-one, old man doesn't need to dodge.
