[Congratulations, Host. You have obtained a purple reward: a fragment of the Black Emperor Scripture.]

Su Yang gazed at the purple reward he had finally managed to draw. It was actually related to the Black Emperor again—and it was even an incomplete version!

Several black lines immediately appeared on his forehead. The Black Emperor really was impossible to shake off!

[Congratulations, Host. You have obtained a purple reward: Undying Heavenly Emperor fragment 1/100.] [Congratulations, Host. You have obtained a purple reward: Ten Thousand Year Vermilion Fruit.]

"Hmm? This is indeed good news. The Undying Heavenly Emperor fragments... Gathering them all will probably be troublesome, but this Ten Thousand Year Vermilion Fruit should at least improve my strength considerably."

Su Yang nodded in satisfaction. He was fairly pleased with these rewards.

He then looked toward the final reward.

Suddenly, a golden light flashed through the System Space, and a trace of surprise appeared in Su Yang's eyes.

"No way!"

Sure enough, as the golden light grew brighter and brighter, the final reward finally appeared!

"Looks like if my luck is good enough, even a purple reward can turn into a gold one. If my luck is bad, I can only keep getting the Black Emperor's junk?"

Su Yang took a deep breath and opened the final reward.

The instant he saw what it was, he couldn't help holding his breath.

With this, he could at least say he had acquired another life-saving trump card, right?

[Congratulations, Host. You have obtained a gold reward: Immortal King Anlan Summoning Card.] [Description: After use, you can summon Immortal King Anlan in his peak state for five shichen! His strength will be at the peak of the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm!]

Looking at the summoning card, Su Yang was deeply shaken. The peak of the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm!

With this card, even if he left the inn, Su Yang would have a certain ability to protect himself in the Primordial World!

However, it wasn't long before he recovered.

"Wait. Anlan shouldn't appear in the Shrouding the Heavens World, should he?"

A trace of doubt arose in his heart. In the entire plot yesterday, Anlan had seemingly never been mentioned?

The system immediately responded:

[Rewards from the Shrouding the Heavens trilogy may all appear. Host need not be surprised.]

Upon hearing this, Su Yang's heart trembled. He could actually draw items from the Shrouding the Heavens trilogy when drawing rewards from the Shrouding the Heavens World?

In other words, he could also draw rewards from Perfect World and that "kidney-deficiency work"?

Su Yang sucked in a sharp breath. Then, looking at the Grand Unity Golden Immortal strength marked on the summoning card, he developed another question.

"Could my previous deduction have been wrong? Is the Immortal King realm equivalent to the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm?"

[The Immortal King is not Anlan's strongest state. In the Divine Void World, Anlan once appeared at the peak of the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm.]

Only after hearing the system's explanation did Su Yang understand why Anlan possessed such terrifying combat strength.

"I still have twenty thousand points. Should I draw once more?" Su Yang pondered silently.

Then he reconsidered. He wasn't far from the one hundred thousand points required for the Gold Prize Pool, so he decided to keep his points for now and make arrangements later.

Su Yang then took out the Ten Thousand Year Vermilion Fruit and prepared to swallow it, using it to improve his strength and cultivation realm.

After all, in the Primordial World, only strength could provide a foothold and allow one to control one's own fate.

At present, Su Yang's cultivation was merely equivalent to the Primordial World's Refining Qi into Spirit level. Compared with this world, it was far too weak.

He activated the Heaven Devouring Demonic Art and absorbed all the energy within the Ten Thousand Year Vermilion Fruit into his body.

As the energy circulated, a faint halo began to rise around Su Yang.

Strands of radiance coursed through his body. From a distance, he looked like a bright beacon, his entire body radiating golden light.

At the same time, his strength began to rise rapidly.

Before long, Su Yang broke through to the first layer of the Dao Palace Secret Realm!

Even more surprisingly, the energy within the Ten Thousand Year Vermilion Fruit had not yet been exhausted!

The Heaven Devouring Demonic Art continued operating. Its powerful suction even caused the System Space to tremble slightly.

Ruthless Great Emperor, who was observing from the edge of the System Space, was also drawn over. Her gaze fell on Su Yang, and she appeared thoughtful.

"The Heaven Devouring Demonic Art has actually fallen into your hands as well? Did you obtain it with the help of that mysterious object?"

Although Ruthless Great Emperor was puzzled, she did not investigate further.

At that moment, the energy within Su Yang's body finally began to stabilize.

His cultivation unexpectedly rose to the second layer of the Dao Palace Secret Realm!

The Dao Palace had five layers in total. Yet with only a single Ten Thousand Year Vermilion Fruit, he had already entered the second layer. This speed was astonishing.

If he could obtain more points and draw more rare heavenly treasures, Su Yang's cultivation would probably advance by leaps and bounds.

He sighed inwardly. The Heaven Devouring Demonic Art truly was the cultivation method most suited to him!

By comparison, the many cultivation techniques of the Primordial World were simply far too slow.

Many cultivators would enter seclusion for a thousand or even ten thousand years at a time. But if they cultivated using the Heaven Devouring Demonic Art, they would probably have long since achieved great mastery.

Just as Su Yang finished cultivating and began adapting to his new strength, a strange sound suddenly came from within the System Space.

At almost the same moment, Su Yang and Ruthless Great Emperor turned their heads together and looked toward the source of the sound.

The piece of Divine Source Su Yang had casually left in a corner earlier was now slowly splitting open, as if something within was about to awaken.

The two exchanged a glance, both revealing expressions of surprise.

Why was the Divine Source splitting open on its own? Logically speaking, it should only open when Su Yang cut it apart himself.

Just as the two were wondering about it, another hoarse, low sound came from within the System Space.

A terrifying aura spread along with it, and Su Yang instantly felt a chill penetrate to his bones.

Ruthless Great Emperor flashed forward and instantly stood in front of Su Yang. Her expression was grave as she stared at the crack in the Divine Source. A withered hand was slowly reaching out from within.

Su Yang was not the only one who sensed it. Ruthless Great Emperor also felt that the thing crawling out of the Divine Source was unusual, as though it were far from ordinary.

When Su Yang clearly saw the face of the thing crawling out of the Divine Source, shock and disbelief flashed through his eyes.

That thing had actually been sealed inside the Divine Source he had drawn back then?!

The figure then stared at Su Yang and Ruthless Great Emperor and slowly spoke in a hoarse, low voice.

"I was once Heavenly Emperor's close friend, and I followed several of the most powerful existences."

"We once fought all the way to the end of darkness and entered the source of the turbid river of chaos."

"We fought throughout our lives, only to ultimately wither and vanish. Who still remembers our names?"

Who could dominate the dog world at its peak? Once the Black Emperor appeared, all else became meaningless!

That's right. It was the Black Emperor.

After Su Yang had plucked its fur, pulled its teeth, obtained the Black Emperor Scripture it had created,

and even taken its Tengshe-skin underwear, no one could have expected that the Black Emperor would now emerge from the Divine Source.

It bared its teeth and walked upright, wearing a pair of brightly colored underwear.

The imposing aura of those words just now could not be called weak!

Of course, that was assuming one ignored its outfit.

Looking at its "majestic" appearance, Su Yang raised an eyebrow and said calmly, "What a huge dog."

"What the hell did you say!?" The Black Emperor immediately glared at him and roared, "Watch yourself, or this Emperor will take you as a servant!"

Hearing this, Su Yang was rendered speechless. As Ruthless Great Emperor looked at the Black Emperor, a trace of familiarity arose in her heart. She seemed to have seen this creature somewhere before.

"This dog—"

Before Ruthless Great Emperor could finish speaking, the Black Emperor let out a long howl.

"Awooo! You're the dog! I'm the Black Emperor! The Black Emperor whose name has shaken the ages! Do you know who I am? My boss is Great Emperor Wushi! Do you know how powerful Great Emperor Wushi is?"
