After they conceded, he claimed the star core and demanded five Chaos Immortal Fruits from the Mystic Armor Battle Dragon, staying behind to pursue his objective.

• Xiao Tian invoked the Undying Immortal Sect’s ancient lineage and proposed a contest: if Ouyang Kai and his brother could touch his clothes within ten exchanges, he would leave; otherwise, they would give him the star core.
