The Scavenging Night of the Deep Root Blood-Fanged Liu Yuan Practitioner
At the Deep Root Lower Layers, around the 392nd fault, the rock walls seem to have been silently cleaved open by a sharp blade, revealing a narrow, deep cave that swallows all light.
A Void Emanation Realm · Supreme Liu Yuan Practitioners, whose body was covered in cracks and whose aura was as cold as the abyss of death, was huddled in the deepest part of the cave, wearing a tattered cloak. His breathing was so light that it was almost inaudible, but his pupils gleamed with the greedy chill of a predator.
At the bottom of the cave, he carefully took two items out of his pocket.
The first item is "the Bone of Halted Reading".
An invisible bone needle.
Truly invisible—it cannot be seen with the naked eye; you can only barely feel a trace of coolness, even fainter than air, on your fingertips.
The moment he lifted it, all "thoughts" in the cave seemed to be abruptly cut off, and even his own breathing seemed to forget to continue at that moment.
The second item is the "Lid of the Final Coffin".
A semi-transparent coffin lid, seemingly cast from fragments of a world -World Extinguisher tomb.
The surface has no patterns, yet faintly emerges the afterimages of countless "resurrection paths," "fate's backup plan," and "opportunities for rebirth" that were forcibly erased.
It hovered quietly above his palm, as if waiting to cover the whole world again.
The corners of Liu Yuan Practitioners's mouth slowly turned up, as if he dared not speak loudly, yet he couldn't help but laugh.
The next moment--
Boom!!!
The entire cave seemed to burst open with his laughter.
Haha--hahahahaha!!!
He could no longer suppress his voice; his throat felt as if it were being torn apart by a mixture of despair and ecstasy.
"These two treasures... just fell into my hands like that? Those useless trash from the Silent Nothingness Divine Hall... haha, they still think they're the First Divine Hall? In this Deep Root Lower Layers, cunning is the key to victory. Even if that Qiongqi doesn't come, I'll outmaneuver them sooner or later!"
He gently twirled the Bone of Halted Reading between his fingers.
The invisible bone needle flashed with a chilling aura that even light could not detect.
"This thing... with just one stab, no one even has the right to 'remember I stabbed them.' The Silent Nothingness Divine Hall... ha, the rulers of the Void Obliteration Domain are about to change."
He looked at the Lid of the Final Coffin again, and the moment his fingertips touched it, the bone patterns that had been dormant on the cave wall for hundreds of millions of years turned gray and dissipated into white mist.
"As for this... the Lid of the Final Coffin... hehehe..."
His voice grew softer and softer, more sinister.
"Once I start building it, everyone's fate will be sealed... including the Asura Immortal Hall... including the Nine Alliances Gang... even those so-called temples... hahahahahaha..."
Maniacal laughter echoed through the cave, spreading with a frenzied intensity.
But suddenly—a strange reddish-purple light shone from the outside.
Like World Extinguisher blood thunder tearing open the sky, like a certain Fate Authority flowing backward, like the oldest forbidden zone Deep Root Lower Layers being forcibly awakened.
The light pierced through the cave walls, casting an eerie purplish-red hue on his face, as if a demon had been revealed in its true form.
The Liu Yuan Practitioners's laughter paused, and he stared at the light with disbelief.
"... What is that...? How could such light appear from the Deep Root Lower Layers?"
The light surged in the distance, accompanied by a low-frequency rumble that sounded like "Fate Soul being twisted."
He licked his lips, and a smile returned.
"Heh... Could it be... that another unlucky soul has been swallowed by some monster or otherworldly being?"
He stood up, shook his cloak, and carefully concealed the two treasures close to his body. The shadow beside him narrowed into a sharp black line.
"Let's go take a look."
He lightly touched the ground with his toes, and the cave space seemed to be torn open with a crack, his figure instantly disappearing into it.
Behind Liu Yuan Practitioners, only that beam of reddish-purple light flickered in the distance—like an unawakened god or Gods and Devils breathing.
Between the Deep Root Lower Layers cracks, crimson sandstorms swirl back and forth, like embers scattered in the void after being swallowed up.
The Void Emanation Realm · Supreme Liu Yuan Practitioners, having reached the pinnacle of his cultivation, took a single, seemingly effortless step, his entire being like a shadow cleaving through the sky—
The void was compressed into a deep black mark. And then...
Ahead of him, ten Annihilation Dawn Realm · Supreme were rapidly moving about, seemingly a small gang acting collectively to avoid the aftermath of the battle between the two great temples.
Unfortunately, they avoided the temple, but they couldn't avoid him.
The void was torn apart by a single finger. Swoosh—
It's as if someone used a sharp blade to tear space in two.
The figure of Liu Yuan Practitioners slowly emerged from the crack, still carrying the chilling aura left over from devouring the elders of the Silent Nothingness Divine Hall, pressing down on this entire area as if it had been sunk into a deep well.
The ten Annihilation Dawn Realm · Supreme instantly became alert, their Martial Souls and Fate Soul instinctively activated, but they were still pressed down by the powerful Void Emanation Realm aura, causing their throats to tighten.
An older expert at the Annihilation Dawn Realm forced himself to speak, "Senior... what brings you here?"
The Liu Yuan Practitioners stared at them as if they were a group of faint flames that could be swallowed at any moment.
"It's nothing."
His voice was as calm as still water, yet it carried a chilling coldness that sent shivers down one's spine.
I just wanted to ask one question--
He casually raised his hand, and the void suddenly collapsed, splitting into a deep abyss.
"Hand over all the treasures you've obtained from the Deep Root Lower Layers."
The ten people looked at each other, their expressions changing in an instant.
They had only been in the Deep Root Lower Layers for ten days, and indeed found nothing.
A powerful expert at the Annihilation Dawn Realm, dressed in an iron-patterned Daoist robe, forced himself to speak:
"Senior... we have not yet found any great treasure, and truly have nothing to offer."
The Liu Yuan Practitioners lowered its head slightly, as if scrutinizing the prey's final struggle.
"No...?"
A wisp of transparent light emanated from his fingertip, like a ripple of divine soul that "detects destiny patterns".
The ten men shuddered. "I'm warning you—"
Liu Yuan Practitioners raised his hand, his tone as casual as if he were talking about something extremely insignificant.
"If I discover the treasure, but you say you don't... then the next moment, you won't even have the right to lie."
The air seemed to freeze at his fingertips. At that moment, a younger, more powerful Annihilation Dawn Realm · Supreme couldn't contain his rage and coldly retorted:
"Even if we have treasures, why should we give them to you? Everyone at the Deep Root Lower Layers society seeks opportunities, relying on their own abilities. You—"
Before he could finish speaking... pfft
It didn't explode, it didn't shatter, and there was no sound at all.
The rebel's body began to turn into grayish-white dust from the feet up, as if it had been "erased" and gradually dispersed, turning into silent white ash, Does Not Exist trace of death.
The whole thing happened in the blink of an eye.
The pupils of the other nine people shrank instantly, and their hearts felt as if they had been squeezed by something.
Liu Yuan Practitioners didn't even raise a hand, merely glancing at them. "Now, who still objects?"
Facing the Void Emanation Realm · Supreme... facing someone who had just casually rendered a fellow Annihilation Dawn Realm · Supreme utterly unworthy of even "death"...
Even the most foolish of the nine people fully understood that this was the kind of monster that was most dangerous to provoke Deep Root Lower Layers.
All nine people lowered their heads, silent as if trembling in fear. Liu Yuan Practitioners slowly withdrew his killing intent, his smile beneath his cloak cold and filthy.
"Very good."
The Liu Yuan Practitioners continued, "I'm giving you five seconds to hand over all your treasures, or you'll end up like the person before."
The wind howled Deep Root Lower Layers within the cave walls, like the wailing of ghosts being torn apart and stitched back together. Crimson and greyish-white light flickered in the night-like cavern, and the Liu Yuan Practitioners stood there, his back like a crack in the shattered sky.
He raised his hand, his fingers slightly spread, as if he were manipulating some kind of invisible countdown.
"I'll give it to you now--"
"Five."
The air crackled and distorted, as if time itself had been compressed into a painful crease.
Seven out of the ten people's expressions changed drastically, and cold sweat began to seep from their palms.
"Four."
A network of crisscrossing cracks appeared in the void, each crack resembling a sharp blade that could "scoop out" their very existence at any moment.
Their Adam's apples were trembling.
"Three--"
The seven men could no longer hold on; they almost all knelt down, handing over all the treasures that had been found on their bodies.
Boundary Stone, Silent Bone Fragment, Ancient Stele Fragment, Boundary Sand Bottle, Nine-Leaf Soul Grass...
They were released into the air.
The radiance of the treasure illuminated their terrified eyes.
Liu Yuan Practitioners didn't even glance at the seven people, he simply waved his hand.
"Roll."
The seven streaks of light, like startled birds, vanished instantly into the shadowless void Deep Root Lower Layers.
Only two people remained in the cave.
The two Annihilation Dawn Realm · Supreme remained standing. They neither knelt nor handed over anything.
One of them, his eyes cold and menacing, said, "We haven't offended you."
The other man clenched his fist. "We won't hand over the treasure to a beast who profits by ambushing and severely injuring people."
Liu Yuan Practitioners slowly turned his head, a smile playing on his lips.
It was a laugh that sent chills down your spine.
"It seems you two—"
With a flick of his finger, the mirror-like void shattered.
"--They won't shed a tear until they see the coffin."
Two Annihilation Dawn Realm · Supreme roared simultaneously, smashing through the void from the left and right, instantly unleashing the power of their life Fate Soul and bloodlines.
Boom--!!
The person on the left conjured an Annihilation Star Falling Wheel in their palm, and the entire void seemed to be swallowed by the night, with the black shadow sinking into the nine dimensions.
The person on the right drew out his own Fate Soul bone blade, on which ten thousand soul fragments burned. When it fell, it was as if the entire Soul Realm of heaven and earth was set ablaze with ashes.
"Kill!!!" The two roared as they charged toward Liu Yuan Practitioners.
In an instant, the entire Deep Root Cave Domain was illuminated by the calamity explosion: starbursts, soul fire, sky-ripping, crimson lightning, and the life chains shattered—
It was like a world- World Extinguisher planet exploding here!
The stone wall shattered into a massive crack, the spiritual sea surged and churned wildly, and shattered light rain poured down as if from the sky.
But Liu Yuan Practitioners... merely raised his hand slightly.
With a tap of the fingertip, snap. The world seemed to have been frozen in time.
The combined attacks of the two Annihilation Dawn Realm · Supreme arrived at the Liu Yuan Practitioners the instant they reached it.
It's like stumbling upon a blank page devoid of matter, time, and logic.
The Annihilation Star Falling Wheel shattered into Annihilation black dust.
The Fate Soul bone blade was stripped away invisibly, and even the concept of "weapon" was deleted along with it.
Their pupils dilated in shock. "This... how could this be—" Before they could finish speaking, crack, as if licked by the flames of Annihilation.
The two turned into silent white ash from their chests down, and with a gust of wind, they vanished into the Deep Root Lower Layers crevices that would never be recorded.
Before he could even scream, Liu Yuan Practitioners gently blew on his fingertips, as if he had just brushed off a layer of dust.
"One Void Emanation Realm · Supreme can annihilate ten Annihilation Dawn Realm. Do I need a reason?"
He withdrew his hand, his figure blurred, and he walked towards the direction where the red and purple light was flashing.
He smiled slightly. "The Deep Root Lower Layers are getting more and more interesting."
Only Liu Yuan Practitioners remained in the Deep Root cave. The stench of blood mingled with the ashen, erased aura in the air, like two different dimensions of death devouring each other.
The two "gray shadows" at the Annihilation Dawn Realm · Supreme were blown away by the wind and completely vanished into Emptiness.
As if he had never existed. Liu Yuan Practitioners raised his hand, clenched his fist, and it was as if he had seized some kind of "right to record" the air.
Instantly—buzz—all the treasures handed over by the seven Annihilation Dawn Realm...
The storage crystal cores, life-pattern rings, and Soul Seal boxes of the two Annihilation Dawn Realm · Supreme who were just Annihilation...
It's as if they were all summoned by some kind of "law of ownership."
They trembled and flew back from the void, hovering in front of him.
The light of the treasures converged into a dragon-shaped radiance: crimson, purple flames, silver soul, black sand, Realm Splitting crystal, broken Dao bone...
They collide and swirl, as if vying for the right to exist.
Liu Yuan Practitioners's gaze shifted indifferently. "They're all mine."
With a sudden roar, all the treasures sank, their light receding as if forcibly extinguished.
Ten storage crystal cores, hundreds of secret treasures, several rare and precious materials, four mid-grade world Realm Artifact...
In an instant, like a stream of light flowing backward, it was swept up by his sleeve without any wind and swallowed entirely into his crystal core world.
The already dim light in the cave dimmed instantly as the treasure was taken away.
He clapped his hands lightly, as if he had completed a very ordinary scavenging task.
"As for the ownership of treasures Deep Root Lower Layers..."
A cold, slanted smile curved his lips. "Of course, strength decides everything."
He looked at the increasingly intense reddish-purple pillar of light in the distance.
The beam of light is like the pulse deep within a heart.
Each thud caused the entire Deep Root Lower Layers wall to tremble slightly.
Liu Yuan Practitioners licked his lips. "I wonder who... has prepared the next big gift for me."
With that, he took a step forward, the void splitting into black lines, and his figure swept towards the depths of the red and purple light.
The cave was left with only warmth, ashes, and a silence that had been completely erased.
