5170 But You've Been Hooked

The weakened Perfected Nine Revolutions were all fallen, leaving only a few strong ones among them. If they intended to surround and kill one of these strong Perfected Nine Revolutions Grand Yan Immortals, it would take them a considerable amount of time.

After all, battles between the strong, lasting tens of thousands of years, were quite common. When the difference in strength wasn't significant, swiftly killing an opponent relied on grand formations or burning divine bodies.

"Hu Qing, I will lure them away while you hide in the grand formation. Remember, once I enter the formation, be careful when controlling it not to harm me," Jian Wushuang instructed earnestly.

Even though this formation was a simplified version, it was still immensely powerful. Only by combining their strengths could they barely hold it. Hu Qing was the only one who could operate the formation, and controlling its power was challenging. Any misstep could backlash and harm both of them.

"Rest a.s.sured!" Hu Qing's eyes were resolute as he nodded. Whoos.h.!.+

Jian Wushuang's figure had already left the canyon. After a quick scan of the surroundings, he felt a fluctuation of Yan power in the nearby mountains. Concealing his own Yan power, he swiftly flew towards the source of the fluctuation.

The original planet, though called a planet, was as large as some small domains. Even a Perfected Nine Revolutions would need a year to fly around it, and teleportation was impossible within the original planet.

During his flight, Jian Wushuang observed the surroundings. The geological structure of the original planet, being a battleground for Grand Yan Immortals, was peculiar. The surface of the planet was exceptionally tough, making it difficult to destroy the mountains with ordinary means. However, after several large battles, many mountains were cut in half, and remnants of Yan power still burned in the ruins, lingering endlessly.

Jian Wushuang had also seen the road made of Immortal bones. He could accept all of this since it was the Qishen Temple. To gain benefits here, one had to fight for them. Even in some cosmic mysteries, many Grand Yan Immortals would perish.

But this time, the appearance of the Qishen Temple was a feast for the entire universe, albeit a feast of slaughter.

After this encounter, it was antic.i.p.ated that the formidable beings in the Original Universe would likely reduce by half. A decrease in numbers was advantageous for the cosmic source; it lightened the burden.

Although their quant.i.ty dwindled, the quality increased several folds. Soon, it was expected that the Original Universe would truly rise within the long river of time, illuminating an entire era.

On a fallen mountain range in the original planet, a st.u.r.dy middle- aged man with bare arms stood, holding a long spear in his hand. His face bore several scars, and his muscular upper body displayed numerous cracks—a testimony to irreparable injuries inflicted upon his divine body. He stood motionless amidst the ruins of the battlefield.

The fluctuation emanated from him. Jian Wushuang's senses were keen; as he approached, he honed in on his target's location.

Within the span of a tea ceremony, he arrived at this desolate battlefield. Jian Wushuang descended swiftly, his figure hovering three feet above the ground. He scanned the surroundings and fixed his gaze on the Grand Yan Immortal, Zhong Sheng, whose aura was feeble.

"Ranked 9,867th in the 'Original Planet Alpha Nine, Perfected Nine Revolutions Grand Yan Immortal, Zhong Sheng," Jian Wushuang muttered.

Zhong Sheng hailed from a small world, where he was the top expert and the ruler. However, he was merely a tier 2 Emperor in that world, the sole tier 2 Emperor therein. There weren't many Nine Revolutions Grand Yan Immortals, and among them, only three had reached the Perfected Nine Revolutions level. Zhong Sheng was one of them.

Solitude wasn't exclusive to the powerful; it afflicted the weak more. They lacked connections and influence; once they entered the original planet, they were solitary warriors.

Union seemed impossible-Zhong Sheng's strength was ordinary among his peers, and without a backing, no alliance would accept him. Seeking alliance with other Nine Revolutions beings was akin to volunteering for death.

The Perfected Nine Revolutions had already formed an alliance, scouring the realms for weaker Perfected Nine Revolutions, attempting to trap and kill them.

A formidable expert, a grandmaster in any major world, now found himself hunted across the battlefield like prey.

Jian Wushuang clenched his ident.i.ty token, holding over 30,000 points within it.

"My luck can't be this good! Just stepping out and I stumble upon a corpse!" Jian Wushuang pinched the token of the fallen, acutely sensing the severe injuries it bore, clearly not feigned.

Now that he had the ident.i.ty token in his possession, even if he was in disguise, he wouldn't casually hang it around his waist!

That distinct ripple, he could feel it even from millions of miles away; he simply didn't believe he would encounter such good fortune.

So, this was a very shoddy set-up.

Jian Wushuang tossed the token to the ground, swiftly retreating.

In the instant he withdrew, concealed Perfected Nine Revolutions around him began to reveal themselves.

17 Perfected Nine Revolutions Grand Yan Immortals appeared simultaneously around this battlefield.

Indeed, just as Jian Wushuang had antic.i.p.ated, this was a trap!

If he could think of besieging weaker Perfected Nine Revolutions, others surely could too. After all, no one who came here was a fool. It was just that these people's trap was too poorly constructed.

This happened to be his first venture outside. Other Perfected Nine Revolutions might have noticed something was amiss as they approached and left the area immediately.

"Big brother, this person's cultivation level seems a bit vague; he's probably not at the Perfected Nine Revolutions stage!" said a rough and burly man, his tiger-like eyes glaring, his stature comparable to seven or eight ordinary men combined.

Jian Wushuang glanced sideways, finding himself blocked at the back by seven Grand Yan Immortals emanating a murderous aura. In front, there were three Perfected Nine Revolutions Grand Yan Immortals, with the rest surrounding him on both sides.

Although there was no grand formation, the way they positioned themselves indicated that if a Perfected Nine Revolutions fell into their trap, it would be challenging to escape. Those weaker in strength would likely meet their end here.

"Fellow Daoists, we're all at the Perfected Nine Revolutions stage, why must we make things difficult for each other?" Jian Wushuang's aura fluctuated, his divine sword had long been shattered, and he didn't even have a supreme treasure on him anymore.

Among these 17 individuals. there was a second-grade Origin Great Dao expert, while the weakest among them were third-grade Origin beings. Additionally, a few of them were exceptionally formidable even within the third-grade Origin category.

The young man leading the group wore luxurious robes, and his triangular eyes exuded a cold indifference as he said lightly, "Kill him."

In the past, encountering a Perfected Nine Revolutions might have led them to recruit the person, but now the strong were few, and the weak were many.

"Once we kill this kid, let's change our location and head to the Flame Demon Valley; there are no more good catches here." The man with triangular eyes spoke with a sinister tone.

He had caught quite a few formidable experts here, and his achievements were considerable. Everyone present was ranked within the top 20,000, with himself positioned within the top 10,000.

All of this was thanks to that Perfected Nine Revolutions Grand Yan Immortal. They had first besieged and severely injured him, then sealed him in this place, using him as bait to lure other Grand Yan Immortals.

Due to this scheme, he had been elected as the leader by these people.

There was a glint in Jian Wushuang's eyes. None of these individuals were weak; dealing with all of them at once wouldn't be easy.

More importantly, if they couldn't resolve the situation quickly and it attracted other powerful beings, things could turn dire.
