Protagonist:

Jiang Xuan

Without a doubt, the one who had arrived was Jiang Xuan.

"Greetings, Senior!" Huo Huang hurried forward, his expression respectful, his voice filled with awe.

His inner heart surged like turbulent waves, both excited and anxious.

This was an opportunity that could change fate; he silently prayed, hoping to obtain an unparalleled opportunity.

Shi Huang and the others belonged to the same camp as Huo Huang; witnessing this scene, their hearts trembled violently.

They had "inside information," knowing that a deity had descended to the mortal world.

Shi Huang also hurriedly followed suit, imitating Huo Huang's manner, performing a great bow of respect.

Shi Huang kept his head lowered, his heart filled with mixed feelings; on one hand, he felt awe at Jiang Xuan's power, and on the other, he worried that Jiang Xuan would once again blame Shi Guo because of that child.

The moment the gazes of the rest touched Jiang Xuan, they felt their hearts suddenly contract.

Shock, terror, inconceivability...

The blood throughout their bodies seemed to freeze in an instant.

Merely seeing Jiang Xuan's figure, they felt as if they were facing an Ancient Tai Gu Shen Shan.

It was an indescribable pressure, like the flood of years rolling in, and like endless mountains spanning before their eyes.

It made their breathing difficult, and their legs could not help but tremble slightly.

A master of an ancient family appeared calm on the surface, but his inner heart was in utter panic.

He cursed silently in his heart; if he had known this would happen, he should not have easily stepped into this muddy water. Now gathered here by Jiang Xuan, he did not know if it was fortune or misfortune.

"Would such a great power lack the means to destroy souls?"

Who exactly is this person?

Could it be the mysterious and unpredictable Overlord behind the scenes?

Does Huo Huang's inheritance come from this person?

"Is everyone here?" Jiang Xuan asked Huo Huang calmly.

Huo Huang quickly nodded, replying: "Within the Eight Domains, most masters of top-tier powers are already here."

The Eight Domains were vast and boundless, with mountains, rivers, and seas crisscrossing.

Most people spent their entire lives merely leaving shallow footprints in this vast Tian Di, unable to tread every inch of land.

However, the news of the Hongmeng Dao Tree spread like a prairie fire at an astonishing speed throughout the Eight Domains; whether in prosperous cities or remote villages, everyone knew, everyone had heard.

It was rumored that the Hongmeng Dao Tree nurtured endless mysteries, with countless opportunities born within.

Obtain one, and benefit for a lifetime.

"Something's not right?"

"Does Huo Huang know this great power?"

Hearing the conversation between Jiang Xuan and Huo Huang, everyone was shocked!

This situation, no matter how one looked at it, seemed like a carefully laid trap to gather them all in one place and then wipe them out completely.

Just as everyone was full of suspicion and unease, Jiang Xuan suddenly waved his hand.

In an instant, the wind and clouds changed color, as if the order of the entire Tian Di was thrown into chaos, and space was twisted and folded at will by a pair of invisible giant hands.

When everything gradually returned to calm, everyone felt the scene before their eyes change suddenly, and they were actually standing beneath the Hongmeng Dao Tree.

Jiang Xuan sent everyone from the Chu Shi Di to the place where the Hongmeng Dao Tree was located.

"What kind of divine ability is this?"

"Why do I feel nothing?"

"Welcome to beneath the Hongmeng Dao Tree."

Jiang Xuan floated above the Void, surrounded as if by a mysterious halo.

Behind him, countless stars twinkled, and the vast Star River spread out like a beautiful scroll behind him, with every star containing endless mysteries.

"The Dao you seek may perhaps be found within the branches, leaves, and veins of this Hongmeng Dao Tree."

"The power you crave is hidden in every trace of light it sheds."

"Here, there is no high or low status; only strength is the key to obtaining everything. Whether you sink into depravity or soar to the heavens in one leap depends entirely on a single thought of yours."

Jiang Xuan's voice echoed continuously in the Void, like a great bell and a grand chime.

"Today, the gate of opportunity of the Hongmeng Dao Tree is officially opened."

"I look forward to seeing you all shine and embark on the path of proving the Dao in this Hongmeng Zao Hua Zhi Di!"

Like a divine oracle, echoing in everyone's heart.

Everyone's heart surged with the same thought.

This world was going to change.

For a while, the entire scene fell into a deathly silence.

Everyone's gazes flickered uncertainly, their inner hearts surging like waves.

Constantly comprehending the deep meaning contained in Jiang Xuan's words, and what kind of changes all this would bring to the Eight Domains.

Just then, a stooped old man with a weathered face slowly stepped out from the crowd.

His aura was profound, and every move displayed the accumulation of years.

The old man coughed lightly, "Daring to ask Senior, how should we proceed to obtain an opportunity? And what must we pay?"

The divine abilities Jiang Xuan had previously displayed had long since inspired awe in every Great Figure present.

Even the lord of a major Powerful Force could only speak and act with utmost caution at this moment.

However, these people were ultimately old foxes who had weathered countless storms; naturally, they would not easily believe that pies fall from the sky.

The more beautiful a thing, the greater the risk behind it!

"Pass the trial, and Opportunity arises naturally." Jiang Xuan's voice was calm.

"As for the price——" his words cut off abruptly.

The next moment, an ancient, heavy stone stele suddenly appeared before everyone's eyes.

Eight large characters engraved on the stele gleamed with a faint cold light under the moonlight: "Take my Inheritance, bear my Karma!"

Everyone stared at these characters, falling into deep thought.

The two words "Karma" have never been a simple concept in the cultivation world. What does accepting this Karma imply?

What kind of power would this Great Figure gain because of it?

And what about themselves?

There exist Karma curse-killing arts in this world.

For a while, the scene fell into a deathly silence.

No one wished to have a sword hanging over their head.

Of course, some also thought Karma was too ethereal and illusory; accepting it seemingly would not bring any substantive threat.

"Why should we believe what you say?" A vigilant voice rang out from among the crowd.

This was an exotic Ferocious Beast, with profound cultivation, already at the Supreme Realm.

"If you don't believe, you may leave." Jiang Xuan's answer was brief and cold.

As soon as the words fell, this Ferocious Beast was actually "thrown" out of the Xu Shen Jie, disappearing without a trace.

It did not know that for the rest of its life, it would never again have the possibility of approaching the Hongmeng Dao Tree to obtain Opportunity.

These words struck like a heavy hammer, hitting the mind of every single person present.

"This Opportunity is limited to the initial realm of the Hongmeng Dao Tree. When conditions ripen, the Opportunities of other realms will naturally open in succession." Jiang Xuan's voice rang out again.

Hearing this, everyone instantly understood the trial's requirements. However, just when they thought the matter was settled, Jiang Xuan's next sentence was like a Bomb, leaving everyone speechless.

"There must be a current-realm Number One Under Heaven acknowledged by me, and a sufficient quantity of Jing Ji, before the Eight Domains can gain the Qualification to open the next realm." Jiang Xuan's words brooked no doubt.

As soon as these words came out, an uproar went through the entire venue.

Number One Under Heaven, and moreover acknowledged by Jiang Xuan — this meant that even if there were publicly recognized powerhouses in the Eight Domains, they might not necessarily obtain this Qualification.

Moreover, the Eight Domains teemed with powerhouses, competition was fierce; who could stand undisputed at the Peak and become Number One Under Heaven?

"One month is the limit; the last one standing in battle shall be the Bǎnhuè Realm Number One Under Heaven!"

As soon as the words fell, a Lei Tai appeared out of thin air.

Upon entering this Lei Tai, cultivation would be automatically suppressed to the Bǎnhuè Realm.

"Ao Wu Shuang of the Tai Gu Shen Shan is here; who dares to fight?" A three-headed lion leaped onto the Lei Tai, wanting to be the first lion to eat the crab.

"I'll face you." A young Disciple from the Butian Pavilion went up, wanting to test his mettle.

Never mind whether the Opportunity is real; just the title of Bǎnhuè Realm Number One Under Heaven is enough to make people fight for it.

"Die!" The three great mouths of the lion demon Ao Wu Shuang lit up simultaneously, three beams of light shooting out straight at the Butian Pavilion youth.

"Not good!" The Butian Pavilion youth hurriedly unleashed a precious technique, trying to block, yet it was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot; in an instant he was pierced through by the light and disappeared without a trace.

Within this Lei Tai, being killed does not mean true death; no Forbidden Artifact works either, unless the Forbidden Artifact's rank has reached the Immortal King Realm.

……

The great battle continued, and even many Kings and Marquises entered the fray.

"Boy, go up!" Jiang Xuan tossed Boy out with one hand.

"Ahhh……"

In the crowd, a sudden cry of alarm rang out: "Tie Guo Ao Ru Nai?"

This sound instantly attracted everyone's attention; they saw a person pointing at Boy, his face full of the excitement of discovering something novel.

In an instant, everyone's gazes were drawn like magnets, swiveling in unison to focus on Boy.

Boy's unique title of "Tie Guo Ao Ru Nai" in the Xu Shen Jie was truly one of a kind.

Boy's feet were dangling in midair at this moment, full of panic.

When the words "Tie Guo Ao Ru Nai" clearly drilled into Boy's ears, he froze in place as if hit by a body-binding spell.

Immediately after, a wave of heat rapidly spread from his ear roots to his whole face.

In an instant, his face flushed crimson, red as if it could drip blood.

"You've got it wrong! It's not me! I didn't, don't talk nonsense!"

"I'm absolutely not that person who loves using an iron pot to stew beast milk the most; you must have confused me with someone else! I rarely even touch an iron pot normally, let alone use it to stew beast milk; you've really mistaken the person!"

"Haha……"

The crowd burst into laughter.

Boy landed steadily in the center of the Lei Tai; only then did the crowd sober up.

"I remember, this brat destroyed the Passage in the Chu Shi Di two years ago……" Someone recalled an interesting scene from two years ago.

"Indeed, this milk baby is truly a piece of work!"

"What about his Combat Power?"

"If it's him, he does count as the strongest in the Bǎnhuè Realm, only…… he's a bit too young."

"What does youth matter? Watching his conduct, he has quite a bit of the sharp vigor we had in our youth. Even many records of the Bǎnhuè Realm, I set one or two in my youth."

The crowd whispered, gazes turning one after another toward that unprepossessing Boy in the arena.

"This little brat is quite interesting."

The several Great Figures exchanged a glance, a trace of meaningful amusement flashing in their eyes.

They had long since glimpsed the extraordinary nature of this "Beast-Milk Brat" from Boy's past deeds.

Boy and a youth dressed in Bu Tian Ge attire were enveloped within this battlefield.

"Brat, remember today's humiliation! The one who defeated you is Bu Tian Ge——"

Before the words had even fallen, Boy had already transformed into a streak of lightning, lunging straight at that youth.

His fist was plain and unadorned, not even a shred of Spiritual Qi leaking out, yet this ordinary Fleshly Body Strength was like thunderclaps, directly beating that Bu Tian Ge Disciple into pieces.

That person had not even reacted before he had turned to dust.

You must know, those who bear the name of Bu Tian Ge are all Heaven-defying Talents without exception, yet before Boy they didn't even have the power to fight back.

"Not worth mentioning."

Boy shook his hand, a smug smile hanging on the corner of his mouth. He knew that in this Xu Shen Jie, victory or defeat lies in a split second; true Life and Death would not descend here.

Bu Tian Ge Zong Zhu did not burn with rage over his Disciple's crushing defeat; instead, he narrowed his Eyes slightly.

His gaze toward Boy actually carried a few hints of profound implication.

"He has absolutely reached the Blood Moving Extreme Realm, Divine Strength reaching a terrifying one hundred thousand catties."

"Such terrifying strength, even the most powerful Ancient Era Ferocious Beast cub, compared to him, would likely be hard to distinguish who is superior."

Bu Tian Ge Zong Zhu, appreciation surging in his eyes, stared at Boy, as if seeing Bu Tian Ge's future hope.

Boy's appearance was like a ray of dawn tearing through the Darkness.

"If such a youth of Unparalleled Talent could be brought under Bu Tian Ge's banner, relying on his world-shaking Cultivation Talent and limitless potential, perhaps Bu Tian Ge could recreate the Ancient Era's brilliance?"

Every time Boy acted, the powerful strength he displayed stirred up shocking waves among the crowd.

Everyone looked at that small Silhouette in the arena, their eyes full of reverence and astonishment.

They finally understood that this seemingly unweaned Xiao Po Hai being able to break open the Chu Shi Di Passage was by no means accidental; the strength and Cultivation Talent hidden behind him far exceeded everyone's imagination.

Shi Huang's Inner Heart intertwined with bitterness and resentment.

"This was supposed to be the Shi Clan's Glory!"

He looked at Boy, his Gaze filled with loss and unwillingness.

This was supposed to be my Shi Clan's Kylin Son!

"Yu Clan, Wu Wang Fu!"

A flash of cold light flickered in Shi Huang's eyes.

Boy's stunning emergence, though like a basin of cold water, extinguished the fighting spirit in the hearts of some so-called geniuses, making them thoroughly recognize the enormous gap between themselves and Boy, snuffing out their thoughts of challenge.

But for another portion of young powerhouses who fancy themselves true Heaven's Pride, Boy's existence was like a massive Whetstone; not only did it not frighten them, it instead ignited the most intense Battle intent deep in their hearts.

At this moment, a valiant and graceful young woman slowly walked toward the battlefield.

Her figure was beautiful, her bearing Extraordinary, yet her every gesture exuded a confidence and heroism.

"I am from Zhu Lu Shu Yuan, He——" Her words were not yet finished when Boy had already become like a bolt of black lightning, instantly closing in, a deafening roar erupting from his mouth: "Fat girl, take my three punches first, then announce your name!"

Everyone held their Breath, eyes wide open, staring dead at the two in the arena.

Only to see Boy's Silhouette agile as a ghost, every Punch swung carrying the force of a thousand jun, the air as if torn apart, emitting bursts of sharp whistling sounds.

And that Zhu Lu Shu Yuan young woman, under Boy's powerful offensive, actually had no power to fight back, like a fallen leaf in a gale, beaten into beaten retreat.

Merely three punches, merely three rounds, the Battle had already determined victory and defeat.

Boy didn't even use the power of runes, relying solely on that Fleshly Body Strength pure to the extreme, he easily blasted apart this young woman regarded as a Zhu Lu Shu Yuan genius.

The young woman's body like a kite with its string cut, flew backward and crashed heavily onto the ground.

On-site eyes wide open.

"This Xiao Po Hai..." The crowd for a while didn't know what to say.

"Anyone else?" Boy landed steadily.

At this moment he was like a towering Mountain Peak, standing proudly erect in the center of the battlefield.

He raised his head, gaze blazing like a torch, casting a sidelong glance at the crowd beyond the battlefield. (Chapter End)
