Seeing that the Essence Devouring Pearl was about to devour him, the Emperor of Destruction was first stunned, then laughed heartily: ‘Well, it’s better to die cleanly than to be possessed and turned into neither human nor ghost.’

    ‘Damn it, I am unwilling to submit!’

    The quasi-immortal consciousness also sighed, very unwilling, but not afraid of death either.

    Thus, both of them were devoured by the Essence Devouring Pearl, their bodies turning into essence, their origins and mana into energy, and their souls into pure soul energy.

    As for the items within the Emperor of Destruction’s internal world, they were spat out by the Essence Devouring Pearl.

    ‘He was indeed a character; although unwilling to die, he did not beg for mercy in the face of certain death.’

    After retrieving the Essence Devouring Pearl, Wang Ping gave the Emperor of Destruction a fairly objective evaluation.

    Next, after storing all those top-grade divine sources and precious herbs in his internal world, Wang Ping absorbed a portion of the soul energy, wanting to see if there were any secrets left by the Emperor of Destruction and the quasi-immortal will.

    A quasi-immortal of the demonic path, who had fallen to this point, must have a story; Wang Ping wanted to see what he had experienced.

    Soon, Wang Ping found the answer.

    The Emperor of Destruction did indeed have secrets, but his secrets were of no use to the current Wang Ping.

    As for the secrets of this demonic path quasi-immortal, they surprised and pleasantly surprised Wang Ping.

    This quasi-immortal of the demonic path was actually not from the Upper Realm but from another world.

    Like the Purple Spirit Realm, the Upper Realm also has different worlds, some separated by great distances, some closer together.

    And this quasi-immortal of the demonic path came from a world quite close to the Upper Realm.

    In that world, he was already invincible, and that world held no more secrets for him, so he made an extremely domineering choice, attempting to forcefully connect to another world.

    His combat power was indeed terrifying, much stronger than the ten dark quasi-immortals Wang Ping had seen before; he actually succeeded in such an outrageous endeavor.

    However, after breaking the barrier of the Upper Realm and arriving in this world, he was ambushed, the assailant being a hidden dark quasi-immortal.

    This dark quasi-immortal was extremely powerful, following the Spacetime Dao, possessing a Spacetime Dao Body that had reached the Great Perfection Domain.

    In the battle with this dark quasi-immortal, he lost. His physical body was destroyed, his origin severely damaged, his soul mostly annihilated, and he barely escaped with his life through a secret technique.

    In the end, he created this secret place, quietly attracting strong individuals to refine them and help heal his injuries.

    Unfortunately, his injuries were too severe. Even refining emperors didn’t help much; he would eventually perish.

    For this reason, he harbored the thought of possession.

    Later, the Emperor of Destruction also fell for it and came here. The demonic path quasi-immortal found the Emperor of Destruction to be a suitable host for possession to live another life.

    ‘The Emperor of Destruction really is unlucky. But, it turns out there are other dark quasi-immortals in this world? And one with a Great Perfection Spacetime Dao Body.’

    Wang Ping sighed and began to ponder.

    It seems that the ten dark quasi-immortals who emerged before were not all of the dark quasi-immortals slumbering in the Source of Darkness; there are probably other dark quasi-immortals.

    The dark quasi-immortal with the Great Perfection Spacetime Dao Body is one of them.

    However, this one is extremely patient, disregarding even the emergence of the Immortal Artifact and Wang Ping’s Chaos Body.

    ‘Or perhaps, these dark quasi-immortals who haven’t emerged are more aware of Senior Leng Yue’s true strength and are very wary, so they have no intention of making a move.’

    Wang Ping’s eyes flickered as he thought of this, finding it very reasonable.

    It seems that in this era, the Upper Realm has remained unscathed without the emergence of any dark quasi-immortals, largely due to Senior Leng Yue’s deterrent effect.

    ‘With my combat power, I can fight and even kill an ordinary dark quasi-immortal. However, if I were to face that dark quasi-immortal with the Great Perfection Spacetime Dao Body, I would likely not be a match.’

    Wang Ping frowned, thinking silently.

    However, his Chaos Body needs the origin of a quasi-immortal who cultivates the Spacetime Dao to reach the Great Success Domain.

    It seems there is no more suitable existence than the quasi-immortal with the Great Perfection Spacetime Dao Body.

    But the current him is no match, which is quite frustrating…

    “It seems that Senior Leng Yue knew about the existence of this quasi-immortal with the Great Perfection Spacetime Dao Body long ago and deliberately told me the conditions for achieving the Great Success Chaos Body. This too is a test for me, right…”

    Wang Ping slightly shook his head, guessing Leng Yue’s intentions.

    If he couldn’t even kill a dark quasi-immortal, dreaming of becoming immortal by himself would simply be a fool’s errand.

    “To kill him, I either need to draw a seven-colored talent that can greatly enhance my combat strength, or break through to the quasi-immortal level. Unfortunately, breaking through to the quasi-immortal level requires refining an immortal spirit or an immortal source. Currently, there’s no such condition…”

    Wang Ping sighed, feeling a headache.

    A seven-colored talent depends on luck.

    As for the immortal spirit, the Immortal Gate in the Immortal Palace has it, but it can’t be opened right now.

    The immortal source is in the Immortal Tower, but since Wang Ping is already an emperor in cultivation, he can’t enter any longer.

    Perhaps, his emperor-level cultivation was chosen too early.

    “I thought Senior Leng Yue, the transmigrator, would block the door anytime, but who knew he was a Supreme Protector, scaring me into frantically increasing my cultivation.”

    Wang Ping couldn’t help but complain a bit.

    “Master, you still have me. As long as you give me enough emperors and even quasi-immortals to devour, that vast energy can help you condense a quasi-immortal body, quasi-immortal soul, and also the most crucial immortal source, assisting you to break through to the quasi-immortal level.”

    At this moment, a crisp voice sounded.

    Then, the Essence Devouring Pearl floated out by itself, looking somewhat showy.

    “You can really condense the immortal source?”

    Wang Ping’s eyes brightened, and he asked happily.

    “I have devoured the immortal source, and after analyzing its structure, I can completely refine it through a quasi-immortal.”

    The clear voice of the Essence Devouring Pearl sounded again, quite proud and smug.

    “Hahaha, great!”

    Hearing this, Wang Ping immediately burst into laughter, very delighted.

    It seems that besides enhancing combat power, the Essence Devouring Pearl’s greatest effect remains unchanged, which is to be a cultivation cheat.

    With the Essence Devouring Pearl, he could smoothly hit the quasi-immortal realm.

    As for becoming immortal, it’s probably impossible to rely on the Essence Devouring Pearl, even if he wanted to break through by devouring a large number of quasi-immortals. This world doesn’t have the conditions.

    In addition, becoming immortal might have enlightenment conditions, which is something the Essence Devouring Pearl can’t help with.

    “With the top-grade divine sources I have, I can simulate three times. I hope I can refresh a seven-colored talent. Then, I need to use the Life Simulator to experiment and see how many dark emperors and dark quasi-immortals I need to slaughter to condense the immortal source. Besides, I also need to know the positions of the nine innate creatures and that spacetime quasi-immortal through simulations.”

    Wang Ping’s eyes sparkled with brilliance as he thought silently.

    Then, he sat cross-legged directly and said in his heart: “System, I want to perform a paid simulation.”

    “Ding, consuming 20 billion jin of top-grade divine sources, Life Simulator activated, talents refreshing…”

    The System’s voice rang out.

    “Ding, talent refresh successful, congratulations to the host for successfully refreshing the seven-colored talent: Flashes of Ephemeral Splendor; golden talent: Explosive Garment Maniac.”

    Seven-colored talent: Flashes of Ephemeral Splendor: As long as this talent is activated, the host’s strength will soar to a terrifying level within a very short time. However, this burst is extremely short-lived, and once the time ends, the host will lose a life.

    PS: Due to the significant side effects of this talent, its effect somewhat exceeds the scope of seven-colored talents.

    Golden talent: Explosive Garment Maniac: Having this talent, the host will love to blow up his own clothes in battle, and after that, the host’s combat power will get a slight boost.

    “This is really like getting exactly what I need…”

    Looking at the newly refreshed seven-colored talent, Wang Ping was full of surprise.

    The seven-colored talent: Flashes of Ephemeral Splendor, allows him to gain terrifying power within a short time. Although the side effect is significant, costing a life each time it’s used, he has the Rebirth Talisman, so one life can still hold up.

    He just didn’t know how strong this talent, which supposedly exceeds the scope of seven-colored talents, really is, if it could give him the power to crush the spacetime quasi-immortal.

    As for the golden talent: Explosive Garment Maniac, it was truly a mischievous talent. It’s surprising he could touch something at the golden talent level.

    “System, I choose the seven-colored talent: Flashes of Ephemeral Splendor…”

    After venting, Wang Ping said firmly to himself.

    “Ding, talent selection successful, Life Simulation begins.”

    The voice of the System rang out again, and Wang Ping’s consciousness flickered, then he entered an immersive simulation state.

    The screen lit up, and familiar text appeared in front of Wang Ping, causing his eyes to flicker unpredictably.

    “I don’t have much time left. Once I’m discovered to have entered the immersive simulation state, Senior Leng Yue will act against me. This point in time is even earlier than in previous simulations, only one year. I estimate that after I enter the simulation state, Heavenly Calculator will wake up in a year and inform the simulated Senior Leng Yue that I have again conducted a Life Simulation.”

    Wang Ping muttered to himself.

    The simulated Senior Leng Yue did not consider himself a false existence, so he would strike against the worthless simulated Wang Ping to take back what belonged to him.

    Therefore, this senior transmigrator Leng Yue is really frustrating…

    In reality, he’s the Supreme Protector, but in the simulation, he’s the big boss. These identity changes are too absurd.

    Then, Wang Ping composed himself and stared at the screen.

    【Day 1, you chose to take immediate action, heading to the Hell Ancient Star, directly breaking the seal of the Incinerating Heaven Emperor and releasing the Innate Emperor Flame. After releasing the Innate Emperor Flame, it attempted to escape, but you easily suppressed it.】

    【This time, your act of taking the Innate Emperor Flame did not provoke an attack from the Incinerating Heaven Emperor, who cowered within the Source of Darkness, having no intention of emerging. Clearly, the Incinerating Heaven Emperor had no courage to fight you. This is quite understandable; your previous performance was too monstrous, even quasi-immortals feared you, let alone a top-tier emperor.】

    【However, despite the Incinerating Heaven Emperor having no intentions of seeking you out, you chose to actively seek him. For this, you boldly entered the Source of Darkness.】

    【Your invasion into the Source of Darkness terrified many Dark Emperors within. Along the way, they all avoided you, fearing they’d be annihilated. Although you wanted to eradicate them, your primary goal was to kill the Incinerating Heaven Emperor first to lift the curse on the people of Chi Village.】

    【You captured a Dark Emperor at random, asking for the Incinerating Heaven Emperor’s location. This Dark Emperor, desperate to survive, betrayed the Incinerating Heaven Emperor and revealed his whereabouts.】

    【Upon hearing the location, you casually killed the Dark Emperor, allowing the Essence Devouring Pearl to absorb it. This process was casual and effortless, like crushing an ant.】

    【Soon after, you found the Incinerating Heaven Emperor, killed him with ease, and let the Essence Devouring Pearl absorb and refine him.】

    【After achieving your main goal, you began a killing spree within the Source of Darkness, hunting down every Dark Emperor hiding there.】

    【Your rampant actions infuriated the Dark Emperors. Despite their fear of your combat power, they realized that fleeing was futile and must unite against you.】

    【Thus, tens of thousands of Dark Emperors gathered together, forming a massive array in an attempt to suppress you. Surprised, you did not expect so many Dark Emperors to be hiding in the Source of Darkness.】

    【However, reflecting on the countless epochs the Source of Darkness had existed and the numerous emperors who fell into it with time, it made sense that it housed so many Dark Emperors.】

    【Simultaneously, you discovered many Emperors mentioned in ancient texts. Among them, there was even the third Emperor of Taiyi Emperor Palace. Evidently, not all Emperors of Taiyi Emperor Palace possessed the inherent nobility like Emperor Tianyu and Emperor Taiyi, who chose self-demise over falling.】

    【You had no interest in speaking with them. Since they had fallen, they were enemies and must be killed.】

    【Thus, the battle between you and tens of thousands of Dark Emperors erupted. It must be said, the force of tens of thousands of Dark Emperors is indeed terrifying. Even a quasi-immortal would be severely threatened, but you were stronger than an ordinary quasi-immortal. Most importantly, emperors, after all, fell within the realm of the seven-colored talent: Instant Death Attack.】

    【Following, during the fierce battle, you repeatedly injured the Dark Emperors. Though you also suffered, as soon as the effect of the seven-colored talent: Instant Death Attack was triggered, numerous emperors wounded by the counterforce perished violently.】

    【After this battle, you earned an achievement of standing alone against thousands. Then, you used the Essence Devouring Pearl to absorb all these Dark Emperors. Though due to their immense number, the Essence Devouring Pearl couldn’t refine them immediately, but you were in no rush.】

    【Considering whether to retreat first to absorb the gains, a quasi-immortal appeared before you. This quasi-immortal, to your surprise, was the dark quasi-immortal with the Perfect Spacetime Dao Body you were searching for.】

    【Seeing you, the dark quasi-immortal’s eyes turned cold, stating that your actions were too extreme.】

    【In response, you sneered coldly and rebuked his words, saying that fallen ones are tumors of this world and deserve to die, there was no such thing as being too extreme.】

    【With killing intent, the spacetime quasi-immortal announced that given your stubborn cruelty, even with Leng Yue’s protection, he would make you pay the price.】

    【Mocking him, you pointed out that the spacetime quasi-immortal did not stand up for the fallen ones, but sought a pretext to defend himself. After all, your continued growth will make him restless.】

    【With his intentions exposed, the spacetime quasi-immortal’s expression darkened further. He wasted no words and attacked you directly.】

    【It must be said that this dark quasi-immortal with the Perfect Spacetime Dao Body was exceedingly powerful, stronger than the ten dark quasi-immortals you had fought before. Despite using every technique and immortal skill, you still couldn’t defeat him.】

    【Of course, this was assuming your tenfold critical strike wasn’t triggered. If it were, you were confident you could injure him… However, killing him seemed far off.】

    【With no hesitation, you activated the effect of the seven-colored talent: Instant Glory. In an instant, your strength soared to terrifying levels, reaching the ranks of a quasi-immortal within a short period.】

    【This scene shook the spacetime quasi-immortal; even you were startled. You never expected this seven-colored talent: Instant Glory to be so powerful, elevating your cultivation to the quasi-immortal level instantly.】

    【Originally, you thought the effect of Instant Glory would boost your strength beyond that of an emperor but still far from quasi-immortal. Now, it directly elevated you to the quasi-immortal level…】

    This time, you finally understood the weight of surpassing the seven-colored effects. You also acknowledged that this seven-colored talent should be the pinnacle of all seven-colored talents…

    Next, without waiting for the Spacetime Quasi-Immortal to react and without wasting any time on the talent’s effect, you began a frenzied attack…

    Facing your wild assault, the Spacetime Quasi-Immortal no longer remained composed. Instead, they were terrified to the extreme, sensing a mortal danger. After all, when you were at the Great Perfection of the Emperor realm, you already possessed quasi-immortal level combat power. Now, with your cultivation directly boosted to the quasi-immortal tier, equal to him, this power surge was utterly monstrous, a complete qualitative change…

    Therefore, the Spacetime Quasi-Immortal was utterly no match for you, being consecutively blasted to pieces in a short time. Although he quickly recovered each time, he grew significantly weaker with every recovery…

    In other words, he could perish at any moment. This filled him with even greater fear. He couldn’t comprehend which secret technique could elevate cultivation by so much…

    However, he knew this wasn’t the time to ponder so much; he had to escape immediately, or he would surely die…

    Naturally, you noticed the Spacetime Quasi-Immortal’s intention to flee. Seeing this, you sneered coldly and stopped fooling around. Your previous attacks were just testing blows; you hadn’t used the critical effect of golden talent: Multiple Symphony or the explosive effect of the seven-colored talent: Explosive Blade, nor had you employed the Sky Spirit Immortal Technique…

    This time, you no longer held back, directly activating the talent effects and employing the Sky Spirit Immortal Technique…

    Unexpectedly, neither the Multiple Symphony effect triggered, and the Explosive Blade merely triggered a double effect…

    Furrowing your brow, you realized that at this level, the golden talent: Multiple Symphony had become obsolete. As for the Explosive Blade, although still usable at the quasi-immortal tier, it seemed less potent…

    However, at your level, even a double critical hit was terrifying enough. With the full execution of your fatal immortal technique, the Spacetime Quasi-Immortal was utterly horrified, trying to escape and defend, but all was in vain. You easily subdued and killed him…

    Thus, an immensely powerful Dark Quasi-Immortal fell at your hands. With the fall of the Spacetime Quasi-Immortal, the Essence Devouring Pearl became excited and began frantically devouring him…

    Quickly, you stopped him, preventing it from directly devouring the Spacetime Quasi-Immortal’s Spacetime origin…

    Feeling a bit wronged, the Essence Devouring Pearl refrained from consuming the Spacetime origin. However, it did swallow the shattered flesh of the Spacetime Quasi-Immortal, indicating that after refining, it might still extract some Spacetime origin…

    Hearing this, you were quite surprised. It reminded you that the Spacetime Dao Body could also refine Spacetime origin, and you felt that the Essence Devouring Pearl was indeed very useful, capable of doing many things for you…

    At that moment, your body trembled, and you felt your life rapidly fading away, nearing death. You knew this was the side effect of the seven-colored talent: Flashes of Ephemeral Splendor…

    Trying to use the purple talent: Substitute Puppet to transfer the damage was in vain, as it seemed to have long exceeded its capacity. This left you quite helpless…

    In the end, you still had to die. However, before dying, you swiftly left the Source of Darkness to prevent anyone from lurking when your revival countdown began…

    After you left, three more Dark Quasi-Immortals appeared deep within the Source of Darkness. They were no weaker than the Spacetime Quasi-Immortal. Gazing in the direction you left, their eyes flickered with dread. They never expected you to have hidden cards. The combat power you displayed was too terrifying…

    Although the side effect of such a hidden card was obvious, it elevated your cultivation to the quasi-immortal tier and swiftly killed the Spacetime Quasi-Immortal, a fact. In facing you, even if they acted, it would probably end in their defeat…

    Hence, even though it seemed you had weakened, they dared not pursue and could only let you go, fearing they might fall into your trap…

    Finally, the three Dark Quasi-Immortals exchanged glances and sighed. There were originally fourteen Dark Quasi-Immortals in this world’s Source of Darkness. One was killed by you previously, and Nine-Star Pavilion Master Leng Yue killed nine. Now, you killed another one, leaving only three old fellows…

    They knew clearly that staying in the Source of Darkness would spell doom once you grew stronger. Hence, they decided to break the world barrier and escape to other worlds to preserve their lives. They couldn’t stay in this wretched place any longer…

    Unaware of the three remaining Dark Quasi-Immortals’ intention to flee, you had already arrived at a secret location. When you reached it, the side effects fully erupted, and you died…

    As your method of death had surpassed the revival limit of the Rebirth Talisman, you couldn’t resurrect and thus died completely…

    With your death, this simulation ended…

    The text simulation came to an end here, with Wang Ping’s figure appearing, his face full of speechlessness.

    “Good heavens! As my cultivation and combat power rose, all sorts of talent tools are now obsolete… It’s frustrating. But this time, the Rebirth Talisman failed due to the severity of the death method. Seems like the side effects of this seven-colored talent are much greater than I imagined…”

    Wang Ping grumbled…

    Still, he understood…

    Talent abilities always had corresponding caps…

    As for the Rebirth Talisman, using it to the Great Emperor level was already extraordinary. After all, this thing was initially created with just 100,000 Group points…

    A revival tool created with 100,000 Group points, being used until now, was already astonishing. Wang Ping even felt that Alpha gave him special treatment…

    While Wang Ping was reflecting, his consciousness flickered, his vision shifted, and he returned to the real world…

    “Ding, reward generation success. The host may choose one of the following rewards:

    1. Seven-Colored Talent: Flashes of Ephemeral Splendor.
    2. Golden Talent: Manic Battle.
    3. Random quasi-emperor weapon.
    4. Random precious herb.

    “System, I choose number one… seven-colored talent: Flashes of Ephemeral Splendor.”

    Wang Ping looked at the reward list, shook his head slightly, and made his choice.

    As Wang Ping made his choice, the method of using the seven-colored talent: Flashes of Ephemeral Splendor appeared in his mind.

    “This talent is strong, indeed, but the side effects are truly severe… Even a standard Rebirth Talisman cannot revive from it. It seems that unless I refresh a seven-colored resurrection talent or get a better resurrection items from the Allheavens Playground, I can’t use it casually…”

    Wang Ping’s eyes flickered, and he muttered to himself.

    “Alpha, how many group points are needed to enhance the Rebirth Talisman to the point where it can revive me?”

    After thinking for a moment, Wang Ping felt it was more reliable to have Alpha create a new Rebirth Talisman than to rely on himself to refresh a seven-colored resurrection talent.

    “In Allheavens Playground, talents and abilities have corresponding levels. The previous Rebirth Talisman was indeed secretly enhanced by me; otherwise, it would have long lost its effect.”

    Alpha’s voice confirmed Wang Ping’s speculation.

    “Uh, how many group points do I need now to enhance it so that it can restore its effect and revive me after I use that seven-colored talent?”

    Wang Ping was stunned, then smiled and asked.

    “Five billion group points.”

    Alpha’s voice sounded.

    “Wait, how many did you just say?”

    Wang Ping’s face twitched, thinking he might have heard it wrong.

    “I said five billion group points.”

    Alpha’s voice repeated.

    “Goodbye, sorry to bother you.”

    Wang Ping’s face twitched again, and he said silently.

    After all, Wang Ping, after the previous splurge, was already broke.

    Now, he was likely not as wealthy as Lin Yuanyuan, who crazily did tasks. Expecting him to come up with five billion group points was impossible.

    “Next, let’s continue the simulation. This time, let’s first try to gather intelligence on the Nine Great Heavenly Dao beings, and then take action on the Spacetime Quasi-Immortal.”

    Wang Ping exhaled softly and, calming his mind, intended to continue the simulation.

    “System, I want to do a paid simulation.”

    “Ding, consuming twenty billion jin top-grade divine sources, the Life Simulator is starting, refreshing talents…”

    The System’s voice sounded.

    “Ding, refreshing talents successful. The host has successfully refreshed a red talent: Drunken Fist.”

    Red Talent: Drunken Fist – The host’s combat power will slightly increase after getting drunk, and they will be able to fight using Drunken Fist.

    “What’s the use of this useless talent…”

    Wang Ping rolled his eyes at the refreshed talent.

    However, he had no choice but to select it.

    “Ding, talent selection successful, Life Simulation starting…”

    Then, the System’s voice sounded, and Wang Ping’s consciousness blurred, entering an immersive simulation state.

    Immediately, the screen appeared, with familiar text emerging.

    【On the first day, you did not act the same as in the previous simulation, capturing the Emperor Flame and killing the Incinerating Heaven. Instead, you directly visited the Immortal Palace.】

    【The Immortal Palace was shocked by your arrival and dared not refuse your visit, treating you with great politeness. Even the quasi-immortal of the Immortal Palace came forward to converse with you in person.】

    【To this, you revealed your purpose, hoping the Divine Calculator of the Immortal Palace could help you observe the celestial phenomena to locate the Nine Great Heavenly Dao beings.】

    【Hearing this, the quasi-immortal of the Immortal Palace was quite surprised but decided to do you this favor, asking the Divine Calculator to start deducing the celestial phenomena. However, concerning the Nine Great Heavenly Dao beings, deducing celestial phenomena was no small task. Thus, you and the quasi-immortal of the Immortal Palace assisted in this endeavor.】

    Ultimately, after performing the Heavenly Calculation, you finally discovered the locations of the nine Heavenly Dao beings. It must be said, the nine Heavenly Dao beings were quite miserable… apart from two who were still free, the rest were sealed like the Innate Emperor Flame. The Gu family alone suppressed four of these Heavenly Dao beings.

    However, the Gu family did not imprison and refine them like the Incinerating Heaven Emperor. They simply captured them and kept them confined within their clan, so they did not suffer from the Heavenly Dao curse. Of course, considering the Gu family’s level of quasi-immortal power, they might already be able to deal with the current Heavenly Dao curse.

    Next, after thanking the Divine Calculator and the quasi-immortals of the Immortal Palace, you started gathering the scattered Heavenly Dao beings. Once you had collected all the external Heavenly Dao beings, you headed to the Gu family.

    Your sudden visit greatly surprised the Gu family. Therefore, the quasi-immortal of the Gu family, just like the quasi-immortals of the Immortal Palace, decided to formally receive you with great respect.

    After a pleasant conversation, you directly stated your intention, hoping the Gu family could hand over the four Heavenly Dao beings and promising a satisfactory reward in return.

    The Gu family’s quasi-immortal was quite surprised to hear this. Although he had many thoughts, he smiled and said he could hand over the four Heavenly Dao beings, provided that you didn’t destroy the Gu family’s heritage in the future as long as they didn’t provoke you.

    You naturally accepted and agreed to this condition. The Gu family’s quasi-immortal was very pleased and handed over the four Heavenly Dao beings to you.

    Thus, you easily and happily collected all nine Heavenly Dao beings. Now, you only needed the essence of the Spacetime Quasi-Immortal.

    After some thought, you proposed another deal with the Gu family’s quasi-immortal, asking him to help you kill the Spacetime Quasi-Immortal and seize his essence.

    Hearing your request, the Gu family’s quasi-immortal’s expression changed, and he tactfully refused. He also reminded you that the Spacetime Quasi-Immortal is very powerful, and even if the two of you teamed up, it wouldn’t be possible to defeat him. Unless… you also breakthrough to the quasi-immortal realm or achieve Great Perfection in the Chaos Body, otherwise, you wouldn’t be able to triumph over him.

    After saying this, the Gu family’s quasi-immortal tentatively suggested that you invite the Nine-Star Pavilion Master Leng Yue instead. If Leng Yue were to take action, the Spacetime Quasi-Immortal would surely fall.

    You chuckled and said that you already knew this, then ceased mentioning the matter and chose to leave.

    After you departed, the Gu family’s quasi-immortal was lost in thought, unable to understand your relationship with the Nine-Star Pavilion Master Leng Yue. After all, if you wanted to deal with the Spacetime Quasi-Immortal, asking Leng Yue to take action would undoubtedly be the best choice. Unless… you couldn’t persuade Leng Yue and came to him instead.

    You didn’t care about the Gu family’s quasi-immortal’s subsequent thoughts. Instead, you went alone to the Source of Darkness and started a massacre, slaughtering the Dark Emperor.

    This massacre also attracted the attention of the Spacetime Quasi-Immortal and the other three Dark Quasi-Immortals. However, this time you had no intention of confronting the Spacetime Quasi-Immortal and merely indicated that if he took action, the Nine-Star Pavilion Master Leng Yue might intervene.

    Your threat made the Spacetime Quasi-Immortal’s expression change repeatedly. In the end, he coldly snorted and let you leave. You left easily.

    After leaving, you checked the time and realized that Leng Yue should come looking for trouble soon. Therefore, after some thought, you decided to use the seven-colored talent: ‘God of Escape,’ attempting to escape to a better world to refine the emperor corpses within the Essence Devouring Pearl, enhance your combat power, and then return to this world to confront the Spacetime Quasi-Immortal.

    Unfortunately, you miscalculated, and the seven-colored talent: ‘God of Escape’ failed to transport you to another world. You still remained in this world.

    Shaking your head, you chose to rely on your own power to break through the world barrier and journey to another world. Fortunately, you had some memories of the demon path quasi-immortal, knowing the coordinates of his world.

    Thus, you took action, breaking the world barrier, attempting to move to another world for development.

    Regrettably, the commotion of breaking the world barrier was too big, and you were detected. Leng Yue blocked your path again, discovering your situation.

    However, this time, he didn’t choose to kill you but instead invited you to accompany him to the Source of Darkness.

    You chose to follow. Upon arrival, the Nine-Star Pavilion Master Leng Yue attacked the Spacetime Quasi-Immortal.

    This caused the Spacetime Quasi-Immortal’s expression to drastically change. He stated that he hadn’t attacked you previously and that Leng Yue’s action was indeed unreasonable. This puzzled you; after all, you hadn’t asked Leng Yue for help, he acted on his own.

    Furthermore, you were quite confused about why Leng Yue’s attitude differed from the free simulation. Initially, Leng Yue had discovered the simulated Wang Ping a year later and killed him immediately.

    You could only speculate that the differing plot progression might have led Leng Yue to notice the nine Heavenly Dao beings on you and intended to help you this time. Or perhaps, he planned to let you achieve Great Perfection before striking you down, allowing you a dignified death.

    While you were pondering, the other three Dark Quasi-Immortals, upon seeing that the Spacetime Quasi-Immortal was about to be killed by Leng Yue, couldn’t stay idle and joined forces to counter Leng Yue.

    But, Leng Yue was truly too powerful. Even when fighting four formidable Dark Quasi-Immortals simultaneously, he still handled them with ease, effortlessly killing them.

    Thus, the four Dark Quasi-Immortals perished at Leng Yue’s hands. Apart from the one Dark Quasi-Immortal you had killed, Leng Yue alone exterminated all the others in the Source of Darkness.

    Next, he handed you the Spacetime Quasi-Immortal’s corpse and essence, allowing you to devour and refine them, attempting to achieve the Great Success Domain in your Chaos Body.

    Naturally, you wouldn’t miss this opportunity and began using the Essence Devouring Pearl to assist, devouring and refining the nine Heavenly Dao beings and the Spacetime Quasi-Immortal’s essence.

    Finally, after nearly ten thousand years, you completely refined and absorbed them, integrating them into your Chaos Body.

    Thus, your Chaos Body reached the Great Success Domain, filling you with immense excitement and curiosity about your current combat power.

    Therefore, you looked to Nine-Star Pavilion Master Leng Yue, the senior transmigrator, seeking a battle to test your strength.

    Leng Yue did not refuse your challenge, expressing coldly that if you could defeat him, you could live… if you lost, you would die and become nourishment for him.

    You showed no fear, leaving the Source of Darkness with him to fight outside.

    It must be said, Leng Yue was truly too powerful. Even though your Chaos Body had reached the Great Success Domain, giving you a significant advantage in physique, you still couldn’t defeat him. Fighting opponents above your level depends on the opponent’s strength. Now, you could easily crush the Spacetime Quasi-Immortal, but against Leng Yue, you were still lacking. Leng Yue had created the Devouring Immortal Demon Body, empowering himself further, and had also comprehended the Immortal Scripture and possibly the Dao above the Heavenly Dao true meaning.

    In other words, Leng Yue could no longer be considered a mere quasi-immortal. He remained in this world only because the environment of the Upper Realm restricted him. If he were in the Immortal Domain, he would likely become immortal at any time.
