A day later, four utterly exhausted bodies drifted through the starry sky.
Their fleshly bodies were gone, their Spirit Platforms damaged, their laws depleted. Right now, any Eighth Order warrior who came along could wipe out these four Ninth Order Transcendents in one fell swoop.
Yet Jiang Yan did not seize this chance to strike.
"Where's the other one?"
He remembered that five Ninth Order beings had been pursuing him. Why were there only four bodies now?
He waited for roughly another half day.
A figure clad in a black cloak appeared in the depths of space.
The newcomer looked around at the scattered remnants, at the four Ninth Order Transcendent mighty beings who had been so lofty and untouchable half a day ago.
"Ha ha ha ha! Just as expected, the one who hides until the end is the real winner!"
"The treasures, the World Stone—they're all mine now! Ha ha ha ha!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
The hoarse voice startled some weak Transcendent creatures who had been watching the show, sending them fleeing in every direction.
The four heavily wounded Ninth Order mighty beings had already been difficult enough to deal with. Now that a completely intact Ninth Order being had arrived, how could they possibly get a share of the spoils?
"Heh, trying to run?"
With a casual wave of his hand, the cloaked man turned a mass of sinister ghostly qi into skeletons that chased after the fleeing crowd.
Barely half a second passed before the ghostly qi dispersed, leaving behind only a dozen or so white skeletons that had been devoured clean.
"Hmph. Now, all the treasures are mine!"
The cloaked man released ghostly qi, turning the four Ninth Order Transcendents clinging to life into shriveled white skeletons.
Four Space Rings floated in the void.
