252 – Ruthlessly Overpowering the Anomaly!

【After entering the secret realm, you were teleported into a trap. However, you didn’t notice that Lin Yuanyuan was also teleported into the trap.】

【You are not surprised by this. After all, Lin Yuanyuan has always been hidden by you, never making a grand entrance or appearing on the Three Saint List. Of course, this is also because top-tier talents couldn’t be entirely exploited.】

【As a result, Lin Yuanyuan’s current level, while capable of passing the second trial of the Immortal Palace, does not warrant being targeted by anomalies.】

【Again, you chose to remain low-key as always, waiting for all parties to break the formation together. Once done, you located Lin Yuanyuan, saved friends Huang Yin and Huang Qing, then quietly observed the situation develop.】

【Ultimately, as you recalled, the anomaly gained the Chaos Body and became arrogant, fighting against thousands of top talents.】

【Seeing this, you finally decided to take action. With your actions, all sides were shaken.】

【The previously extremely powerful Chaos Body anomaly, in front of you, was like a child without any resistance, getting a thorough beating from you…】

【For a moment, all parties were a bit fearful, not expecting such a monster like you among the same generation, and didn’t foresee that you were hiding so deeply. With a minor Spacetime Dao Body, minor Origin-Breaking Divine Eyes, and half-step Supreme enlightenment of the Heavenly Dao’s true meaning, how could others compete?】

【The anomaly was equally shocked and outraged, not expecting a monster like you to suddenly appear and suppress him so easily.】

【Though the anomaly was easily suppressed by you, he didn’t worry about his safety, merely launching a suicidal attack with a cold smile.】

【As an anomaly, he could not only seize and grant others’ origins to control them but also erupt curses. If killed, you would be cursed and eventually fall, and your extraordinary origin would become his possession.】

【Facing the anomaly’s suicidal attack, you remained calm and indifferent. You naturally anticipated the anomaly’s plans and abilities, knowing it couldn’t be killed easily.】

【Additionally, if the anomaly wanted to escape, he could have done so long ago. However, he was equally interested in your origin.】

【Thus, you only used one-tenth of the Heavenly Dao’s true meaning, without employing your comprehended Spacetime Emperor’s Scripture and various talents, keeping many trump cards reserved.】

【After all, showing everything would surely scare the anomaly, potentially causing a reactive escape. Besides, with your current abilities, dealing with the current anomaly didn’t require so many trump cards. At the same realm, both sides’ combat power was no longer on the same level.】

【Frankly speaking, in today’s Upper Realm, you are invincible beneath the Supreme level. If not for weakening your cultivation to half-step Supreme, you would still be invincible within the Supreme Realm.】

【Realizing his suicidal attack was ineffective against you, the anomaly grew frustrated. He had planned so long to obtain the Chaos Body, only to be beaten by you soon after obtaining it, leaving him extremely depressed.】

【The Chaos Body was supposed to be the strongest; whoever acquired it was invincible, with no match in the same realm. Yet this belief was utterly shattered. He began to question whether everything he had plotted so far was worth it.】

【However, the anomaly soon grew ecstatic once more when he noticed you switching from offense to defense, believing his battle strategy validated, thinking the gap between you two wasn’t that big. Since he could wear you down with multiple lives, even if you didn’t actively attack and kill him, he could still defeat you through reckless methods.】

【At that moment, consuming merely two lives didn’t seem much to him. As an anomaly, lives were his abundant asset.】

【At the anomaly’s moment of complacency, you revealed a sharp gaze, going all out, instantly using terrifying divine abilities to warp the space-time around the anomaly, forming a space-time illusion.】

【This left the anomaly deeply terrified; he never imagined you had such hidden powers.】

【Nonetheless, he calmed down with a cold sneer. After all, no matter how strong you were, killing him completely was impossible. Moreover, using a lethal move would mean your end as well.】

【Yet, the anomaly didn’t foresee the crucial variable: Lin Yuanyuan’s existence.】

【As Wang Ping controlled the anomaly, Lin Yuanyuan struck decisively, using her ability against the anomaly.】

【You couldn’t help but marvel at Lin Yuanyuan’s prowess and the sheer terror of her ability, which didn’t require the opponent’s physiological response.】

【Soon, the anomaly sensed something wrong as his power and life force started getting drained by someone…】

However, it was useless even after he realized it; once entangled by Lin Yuanyuan, the process could not be stopped.

Ultimately, the anomaly was sucked dry by Lin Yuanyuan, turning into a mummified corpse, completely dead. No matter how many substitute puppets he had, it was useless; he could not revive.

Sensing the anomaly’s absolute death, you marveled once again, feeling that Sister Yuanyuan was the true nemesis of anomalies. The number of anomalies dying at her hands was several times more than yours—all of them difficult to deal with cockroaches.

Afterwards, Lin Yuanyuan, after marveling at her own formidable power, handed over the source of the small Chaos Body she had extracted to you.

You were quite pleased with Lin Yuanyuan’s generosity, feeling that your previous investment was indeed correct; you hadn’t helped the wrong person.

After all, this was a Chaos Body. Although it could only be called a small Chaos Body, it far surpassed the Spacetime Dao Body. Lin Yuanyuan’s ability to be so generous, handing it over without hesitation, was not something an ordinary person could do.

You had to know that the Incinerating Heaven Emperor committed such cruel deeds, slaughtering friends and abandoning family, just to obtain the Innate Emperor Flame. If a small Chaos Body were placed in front of them, you believed most emperors would go mad.

…

“This really makes Yuanyuan even more likable.”

Wang Ping looked at the simulated text and chuckled softly.

It seems that it would be difficult for other group members to keep up with his pace, but Lin Yuanyuan could.

At the same time, Wang Ping thought that when he goes to Allheavens Playground, he could also take Lin Yuanyuan along.

When he becomes strong enough, he could strive to get a Rules Stone for Lin Yuanyuan as well.

Wang Ping had already decided to cultivate Lin Yuanyuan as his right hand.

After receiving the source of the small Chaos Body, you initially thought you could attain the small Chaos Body, but something astonishing happened.

This matter was that the source of the small Chaos Body resisted you, being incompatible with your physique. If you tried to forcibly refine the small Chaos Body source, there was a risk of your body exploding and dying.

This left you vexed, wondering why this was the case. Soon, you recalled Emperor Tianyu’s description of the conditions for obtaining a Chaos Body.

You suspected that to bear the Chaos Body, it might require the special constitution with nine major attributes to match the Chaos Body, acting as the foundational carrier for fusion. Aside from this, there might be other conditions unknown to you.

As for the anomaly, it had devoured the source of so many geniuses, using the Devouring Immortal Demon Body to refine the Chaos Body, which might have unconsciously met this condition.

Regarding Lin Yuanyuan, she extracted it through the ability of her Golden Finger, so perhaps there were no such hidden risks.

Of course, all this was just your speculation. Whether your guess was correct remained unknown.

At this moment, you had no time to think too much and chose to return the source of the Chaos Body to Lin Yuanyuan.

In the end, Lin Yuanyuan obtained the small Chaos Body, and you ended up busy for nothing. This left you quite frustrated.

It was at this moment that Lin Yuanyuan noticed she was about to face a terrifying Heavenly Tribulation.

As the tribulation aura emerged in the secret realm, Lin Yuanyuan panicked, and your pupils shrank.

After all, the Heavenly Tribulation of the Chaos Body was no small matter. If it appeared in this not-so-large secret realm, it would encompass you both within its range. By then, the intensity of the Heavenly Tribulation would be enough to shatter the secret realm, killing you both.

However, no matter how anxious you were, it was useless. Because this secret realm couldn’t be exited at will. To leave, you would have to wait for the strong ones of the Immortal Palace to detect the anomaly.

Unfortunately, by the time the Immortal Palace found something amiss, it would be a month or two later. By then, it would be too late.

At this moment, the other prodigies also snapped out of their shock and began to panic.

They genuinely did not expect that entering the secret realm would lead to so many events. First, they were ambushed and attacked, then they witnessed the Devouring Immortal Demon Body devour prodigies to condense the Chaos Body and slaughter many.

Finally, they saw you suppress the Chaos Body forcefully and Lin Yuanyuan extracting its essence. What shocked them even more was the act of you both gifting each other the Chaos Body’s essence, which made their scalps tingle and eyes turn envious.

Now, they were caught in the crossfire, facing life-threatening danger, it was just too ridiculous.

In an instant, these remaining prodigies scattered like frightened monkeys, running as far as they could to quickly distance themselves from Lin Yuanyuan.

However, among them, there was one who did not choose to run.

That person was Gu Xuan. Gu Xuan looked at you and Lin Yuanyuan with a complex expression.

You also noticed Gu Xuan and smiled at him, congratulating him on breaking free from the anomaly’s control and regaining his freedom…

Hearing your words, Gu Xuan was very surprised, not expecting you to know what had happened to him.

Then, Gu Xuan solemnly bowed to you, expressing his gratitude for saving him. Such a great favor, Gu Xuan remembered it in his heart and promised to repay it in the future.

Upon hearing this, your eyes gleamed with brilliance. You didn’t expect to form a friendship with Gu Xuan in this manner. Perhaps through this, you could learn some secrets about the Chaos Body from Gu Xuan.

At the same time, you also thought that maybe through Gu Xuan, you could escape the secret realm and avoid the fate of being struck to ashes by the Heavenly Tribulation and dying repeatedly…

You then expressed that the matter of thanking should be discussed over a drink. For now, you hoped Gu Xuan could tell you how to leave the secret realm…

Gu Xuan smiled and agreed that indeed, gratitude should be shared over immortal wine at a banquet. For now, it was more crucial to leave this place.

With that said, Gu Xuan formed a hand seal and opened the portal of the secret realm.

As the portal opened, Lin Yuanyuan rushed out first.

Then, you and Gu Xuan also left the secret realm one after the other.

After exiting the secret realm, you found yourselves transported to an unknown starry sky. In the distance, Lin Yuanyuan was there, the Heavenly Tribulation brewing around her, growing increasingly terrifying…

You both watched the commotion, each with your own thoughts. Finally, Gu Xuan sighed in admiration, expressing surprise at the existence of such an extraordinary woman in the world, truly impressive…

Hearing Gu Xuan’s words, you looked at him with a strange expression, suspecting that Gu Xuan might have fallen for Lin Yuanyuan. If that were the case, Gu Xuan’s preferences were truly admirable…

However, in the end, you didn’t ask whether Gu Xuan had fallen for Lin Yuanyuan but instead brought up serious matters. You asked Gu Xuan how he got targeted and controlled by the anomaly…

Your question made Gu Xuan’s eyes flicker, guessing that you knew he was controlled by the anomaly but didn’t know about his past…

On this matter, after some contemplation, Gu Xuan decided there was nothing worth hiding, especially since the anomaly was already dead, making it even less necessary to conceal anything…

Thus, Gu Xuan revealed the reason to you. It turned out that after the golden age emerged, he appeared. Initially, he planned to use his identity as the Gu family’s heir to battle all the heroes of the world and temper an invincible heart…

However, in his first battle, he encountered a setback. Just as he left his family, he encountered an anomaly…

At that time, he didn’t know the opponent was an anomaly. In that battle, they fought fiercely, resulting in mutual injuries…

Because of their injuries and damaged essence, he was controlled by the anomaly’s ability. Even his Supreme Protector did not notice it. The anomaly’s ability was truly terrifying…

Just like that, he was always forced to obey the anomaly, helping him with many things…

To even keep things secret, the anomaly had him kill his own Supreme Protector who had witnessed this battle…

Hearing this, You too had a subtle look in your eyes, not expecting Gu Xuan to be so unlucky, brimming with confidence as he emerged, only to run into an anomaly…

“Gu Xuan, that boy, is really pitiful… However, the anomaly is more cautious than I imagined. This also means he worries about the discovery of his existence and manipulating Gu Xuan by the experts of the Gu family. Therefore, altering the secret realm’s entrance and other means couldn’t possibly be provided by the Gu family…”

Wang Ping looked at the simulated content, his eyes flickering, silently analyzing in his heart.

Originally, he thought the anomaly had a cooperation relationship with the Nine-Star Pavilion Master, but later simulations disproved this guess.

Since it wasn’t the Nine-Star Pavilion Master cooperating with the anomaly, there must be another force.

Otherwise, the anomaly couldn’t have acted so brazenly.

Now, excluding the Gu family, the real mastermind should reveal themselves.

Wang Ping found Emperor Fengxin quite suspicious.

After all, this guy’s actions in the previous simulation were overly targeting him and the Taiyi Emperor Palace, which inevitably raised suspicions.

Of course, even if Emperor Fengxin wasn’t the mastermind, Wang Ping still had no plans to let him go. He must capture him and give him a thorough beating.

Various thoughts flashed through Wang Ping’s mind as he continued to stare at the screen.

Next, You asked Gu Xuan which force or powerful entity was behind the anomaly. Gu Xuan clenched his fists, his eyes filled with killing intent, coldly speaking of the Slaughter Paradise and Emperor Fengxin. The spatial tools for relocating the secret realm entrance were created by Slaughter Paradise. As for Emperor Fengxin, he stood behind the anomaly.

Upon hearing Gu Xuan’s answer, You frowned. The mastermind, Emperor Fengxin, was correctly guessed by you. But you didn’t expect the anomaly to have Slaughter Paradise backing him. Slaughter Paradise also originated from the multiverse, their actions undoubtedly breaking the rules.

Ultimately, after some thought, you felt that Slaughter Paradise likely didn’t have the audacity to cooperate with the anomaly. Their actions were probably due to losing contact with their headquarters and being unable to reach Allheavens Playground, leading to such extreme measures.

This suggests that the root cause still lies with you; it’s likely a matter of cause and effect.

Next, you asked Gu Xuan if the anomaly had any connection with the Nine-Star Pavilion and the Nine-Star Pavilion Master.

Gu Xuan shook his head, indicating that the anomaly had no relationship with the mysterious Nine-Star Pavilion Master, who was elusive. Even his Eternal Life Gu family couldn’t fathom what the Master was thinking.

You weren’t surprised by Gu Xuan’s response and asked again if Gu Xuan knew which multiverse force the Nine-Star Pavilion Master hailed from.

Gu Xuan, noticing your increasing questions, gave you a somewhat exasperated look. But he answered your question in the end. The Nine-Star Pavilion Master appeared in the distant past, which could be traced back to the previous era. This means the Nine-Star Pavilion Master was a formidable figure from the same era as his Eternal Life Gu family.

Gu Xuan’s answer shocked you, not expecting the Nine-Star Pavilion Master to be from the previous era. The information was indeed astonishing.

However, you quickly found a blind spot. If the Nine-Star Pavilion Master came from the previous era, then he had lived for too long. After all, the previous era could be traced back to a billion years ago. Or perhaps, quasi-immortal beings could live that long.

If so, wouldn’t that mean the Nine-Star Pavilion Master had already reached the quasi-immortal level a billion years ago?

Sensing your doubts, Gu Xuan shook his head, indicating that quasi-immortals couldn’t live that long. However, the Nine-Star Pavilion Master seemed to possess some longevity-extending means. As for which multiverse force he came from, even his Eternal Life Gu family didn’t know. They only knew one thing: the Nine-Star Pavilion Master wasn’t from any currently known multiverse force and existed like a lone wolf.

Hearing this, you frowned tightly, feeling that the Nine-Star Pavilion Master was indeed too mysterious and unfathomable.

However, very quickly, you gave up on thinking and began to look in the direction where Lin Yuanyuan was. At this moment, Lin Yuanyuan had already started her tribulation. Although Lin Yuanyuan also possessed the small Chaos Body and absorbed the powers and divine abilities of anomalies, her control over these powers was ultimately inferior to an anomaly.

Because of this, the terrifying Heavenly Tribulation that could have killed an anomaly was extremely difficult for Lin Yuanyuan to withstand. She was struck very miserably and was in danger of dying at any moment.

Seeing this, you frowned deeply, wanting to help Lin Yuanyuan but ultimately held back. After all, the Heavenly Tribulation was too terrifying. If you forcibly intervened, it would only make the tribulation even more dreadful. At that time, you would also be affected and die.

So, you could only hope Lin Yuanyuan could get through it. Lin Yuanyuan had also purchased a Rebirth Talisman, so she should be able to make it through. Even if she was struck dead once by the Heavenly Tribulation, she could be revived, thus avoiding the tribulation. Although this would mean that her small Chaos Body couldn’t be further tempered and perfected by the tribulation, as long as she survived, it would be a good outcome.

On the other hand, Gu Xuan became anxious seeing Lin Yuanyuan in such a dire state. He also wanted to help Lin Yuanyuan, so much so that he considered summoning the incarnations of his ancestors.

At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared here. He had a cold and stern face, dressed in white, with a peculiar moon pattern on his attire. After he appeared, he looked down at Lin Yuanyuan, completely ignoring the presence of the Heavenly Tribulation.

This scene astonished both Gu Xuan and Lin Yuanyuan. They had no idea who this suddenly appeared figure in white was or what he intended to do.

When you saw the newcomer, your pupils contracted sharply, revealing a look of astonishment. Because this person was someone Alpha had once told you about. This was none other than the first-generation chat group’s transmigrator senior, known as the Emperor of the Cold Moon.

You never thought that the Emperor of the Cold Moon from the first-generation Transmigrator Chat Group would suddenly appear here and set his sights on Lin Yuanyuan.

For a while, you felt a huge problem had arisen. After all, the Emperor of the Cold Moon was a great emperor, not someone you could resist. Even if you had a great emperor’s incarnation, you would most likely not be his match.

Just when you were shaken, the Heavenly Tribulation also noticed the presence of the Emperor of the Cold Moon, instantly enraged. The tribulation energy began to multiply, intending to shatter the Emperor of the Cold Moon as well.

However, in the face of this terrifying Heavenly Tribulation, the Emperor of the Cold Moon simply clasped his hands together, conjuring an extraordinary Half-Moon Divine Ability, illuminating the universe. He directly froze, suppressed, and crushed the Heavenly Tribulation.

Just like that, the terrifying Heavenly Tribulation formed by the small Chaos Body, even after being reinforced, was crushed by the Emperor of the Cold Moon in such a simple manner.

Seeing this, your expression became increasingly grim, extremely wary of this transmigrator senior, the Emperor of the Cold Moon. This guy, although he had never appeared in the previous simulations, was evidently an extremely powerful emperor.

It was just that Alpha had previously mentioned that he had long been hiding in the Source of Darkness and had never appeared, so you had always ignored his existence. Now, for his first appearance, he showcased such powerful combat prowess, making you extremely wary.

Next, the Emperor of the Cold Moon looked down at Lin Yuanyuan and casually grabbed her into his hands. Then, the Emperor of the Cold Moon looked toward your direction, calmly revealing your identity and addressing you as juniors.

You weren’t surprised that the Emperor of the Cold Moon saw through your and Lin Yuanyuan’s identities. After all, although you disguised yourselves well, it was still hard to hide in front of such a figure. Not to mention, as a member of the first-generation chat group, the Emperor of the Cold Moon was more sensitive to the group’s aura.

Gu Xuan, on the other hand, was quite surprised that you were actually acquainted with the Emperor of the Cold Moon. For a while, he wanted to say something, but after opening his mouth a few times, he ended up saying nothing and just looked at the Emperor of the Cold Moon with great apprehension.

After calming down, you showed a warm expression and respectfully bowed to the Emperor of the Cold Moon, expressing that since you all originated from the same chat group lineage, it would be better to advance and retreat together instead of becoming adversaries.

The Emperor of the Cold Moon looked at you calmly and stated that unlike many other transmigrators, he did not resent the chat group, nor did he resent Alpha. After all, without Alpha, he wouldn’t be where he was today. As for the harsh missions and deaths, in his view, since you wished to gain power and lead a spectacular life in the multiverse, this was the price you had to pay. Without giving anything, how could there be any returns? As for those who died, they were simply incapable.

Hearing the Emperor of the Cold Moon’s words, you agreed somewhat. Previously, you had been too naive, unable to see the essence, and spoke only from your own standpoint. Indeed, without Alpha, your lives wouldn’t have been as brilliant. Although Alpha was quite ruthless, wanting to mix in the multiverse leisurely without paying any price was a fool’s dream.

Without Alpha, many group members today would probably still be poor people who couldn’t have enough to eat, pitiful NPCs on Earth Online.

At the same time, you had to admit one thing. Compared to the ruthless members of the first-generation chat group, you, the transmigrators of the third-generation chat group, were indeed like flowers in a greenhouse, playing house. As a result, even with a Golden Finger, you felt that most group members probably couldn’t grow. Without Lin Yuanyuan, let alone becoming Supremes and great emperors, even becoming emperors would be a problem.

Subsequently, the Emperor of the Cold Moon showed no intention of making a move against you but just cast a deep glance at you and left with Lin Yuanyuan, disappearing from sight.

Seeing this, you sighed, not knowing Lin Yuanyuan’s fate. But you thought it probably wouldn’t be good. The Emperor of the Cold Moon, this transmigrator senior, seemed disdainful of targeting you juniors, but he was evidently very interested in Lin Yuanyuan’s small Chaos Body. As a result, Lin Yuanyuan’s situation was extremely dangerous, most likely facing refinement.

However, even though you could guess the outcome, there was nothing you could do to stop it. Then, you prepared to leave this place.

Just as you were about to leave, you saw Gu Xuan directly activate the Great Emperor’s incarnation he carried, roaring for the Emperor of the Cold Moon to release Lin Yuanyuan.
