Unparalleled After Ten Consecutive Draws - Chapter 1569
1569 A Golden Opportunity, What Are You Waiting For?
“You’re not allowed to lay a finger on the egg!” Lan Yu said, and her words were shocking to everyone.
All of them looked at her, baffled. They had no idea what she wanted to do, but since the majority of the sky-prides and Prodigies wanted the treasure inside, Lan Yu was making herself a common enemy.
She was alone, and even if she was an Arch Gilded Immortal, what could she possibly do against the overwhelming numbers?
“We’re not allowed to lay a finger on the egg? Who do you think you are?” the Eastern Sovereign Divine Daoist said coldly.
!!
As one of the masterminds behind the Immortal Ranking, the Eastern Sovereign Divine Daoist had heard of Lan Yu but never took her seriously.
“It’s fine. I want to hear what she has to say,” Xue Kunpeng said with a wave of his hand.
He looked at Lan Yu and said with a grin, “Woman, I’ll give you a chance to explain yourself. Why can’t I touch the egg?”
The crowd instantly knew Xue Kunpeng had his eyes on Lan Yu.
However, it was understandable. Lan Yu was a talented Prodigy, powerful, beautiful, and could rival Yu Zhi in terms of beauty.
She was known as a goddess by many, so it was not surprising that Xue Kunpeng had fallen for her.
“Even heroes have a weakness for the charms of a beautiful woman. It has always been like that.”
“Hmph. If Chu Kuangren knows about this, I wonder what he would feel?”
“What’s he going to do? Why can’t others admire her?”
Lan Yu frowned. Knowing what Xue Kunpeng was thinking, she grunted and continued, “If the massive egg holds an Innate Source Supreme Treasure, I would like to know who it belongs to. It shouldn’t be yours just because you say you want it, right? Why don’t you ask the others?”
The others immediately exchanged a quick glance.
They thought of the problem before but were not in a hurry to solve it. However, now that Lan Yu had brought the table under the spotlight, they had to solve that problem first.
Xue Kunpeng laughed. “Hahaha. Good question. There’s only one treasure here, so of course, it belongs to the strongest. Who else dares to challenge me as the strongest?”
His arrogant words infuriated many of the sky-prides and Prodigies.
“You really are arrogant.”
“Yeah. Does he really think he can seize the treasure for himself?”
“Does he really think he’s Chu Kuangren?”
The cultivators grunted and voiced their dissatisfaction.
Xue Kunpeng heard their complaints, and his eyes gleamed red as he stepped forward. Then, his figure flashed and appeared before that one particular cultivator.
He was so fast that almost no one at the scene could detect him. He said with killing intent, “Are you saying that I’m weaker than Chu Kuangren?”
The cultivator quivered under his intense killing intent.
However, Xue Kunpeng punched the cultivator mercilessly and took his life on the spot.
“Who else dares to say I’m weaker than Chu Kuangren?”
Xue Kunpeng’s frosty gaze scanned over everyone at the scene. Crimson Immortal Sparks circulated around him and shook the realm.
The intense and rampant Arch Gilded intent swept across the field and struck fear in people’s hearts.
Xue Kunpeng was strong, and only less than a handful at the scene could rival him.
Even the Eastern Sovereign Divine Daoist and the Golden Crow Pseudo-Forefather were slightly deterred.
“Fortunately, he’s an ally,” the Eastern Sovereign Divine Daoist thought.
Xue Kunpeng grunted at the silent crowd.
Then, he turned to Lan Yu. “Woman, you have one chance. Bow to me, and I can share the treasure with you once I get my hands on it.”
“Are you dreaming?” Lan Yu said.
“I rarely admire a woman, but it doesn’t mean you can use it against me and insult me.”
“To me, you’re simply daydreaming, and you must be out of your mind.”
“How audacious!”
Xue Kunpeng grunted. As he raised his fist, his crimson yokai qi burst forward in the shape of a Kun Peng.
Lan Yu stood firm without any intention of dodging.
If she dodged, the fist energy would surely hit the restriction seals or even the egg behind her.
“Heavenly God Ray!”
Lan Yu fired a dazzling beam at the fist energy.
The moment the two energy collided, a loud explosion went off in the void.
Lan Yu, having been blasted more than a dozen meters backward, stared at Xue Kunpeng with a grim expression.
As the Peerless Prodigy of the Subspecies Restricted Area, Xue Kunpeng was indeed powerful.
Even though Lan Yu had broken through to become an Arch Gilded Immortal, she was still not Xue Kunpeng’s match.
“Oh, you’re protecting the egg behind you.”
Xue Kunpeng narrowed his eyes in suspicion when he learned what Lan Yu was trying to do.
The Eastern Sovereign Divine Daoist scanned over the field and pondered. Then, he chuckled and said, “I don’t see Chu Kuangren anywhere here. If an Innate Source Supreme Treasure appears, he ought to be here. Besides, the restriction seal on the egg is manmade, and judging from your actions, I believe Chu Kuangren is inside the egg!”
His words made the crowd tumultuous.
“What? Chu Kuangren is inside the egg? What’s going on?”
“Wasn’t it the Innate Source Supreme Treasure? How did it become Chu Kuangren?”
“Something is not right.”
“I got it! Chu Kuangren must be cultivating a technique or refining some treasures. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have attracted this much attention.”
The Eastern Sovereign Divine Daoist’s gaze turned frosty. “I don’t care what Chu Kuangren is doing inside. Be it cultivating or refining, we cannot let him succeed. He would only be stronger then, and it will be harder for us to deal with him. Since Chu Kuangren can’t do anything, now is a good chance for us to take him down!”
If Chu Kuangren could attack, he would have done it already.
Chu Kuangren was nowhere to be seen until now, so it was obvious that he could not do anything at the moment. The discovery put a delighted smile on the Eastern Sovereign Divine Daoist face.
It was a golden opportunity!
Even the Golden Crow Pseudo-Forefather, who tried to be as careful and calm against Chu Kuangren, was moved by the suggestion.
“Golden Crow Pseudo-Forefather, what are you waiting for?!”
The Eastern Sovereign Divine Daoist shouted, “Are you planning to live under Chu Kuangren’s shadow for the rest of your life?”
His words made the Golden Crow Pseudo-Forefather regret his actions even more.
If the attack could succeed, that would be great, but what if it failed?
Would he be able to escape alive?
The Eastern Sovereign Divine Daoist disregarded the Golden Crow Pseudo-Forefather, who was in a trance, and looked at the massive egg coldly.
Now!
He attacked without a second thought.
As the one who ruled over the nine houses, his first attack already contained terrifying power. Golden Immortal Sparks exploded, and his power attempted to crush Lan Yu and the egg crashed downward like the sky was falling.
It was the Emperor Dao!
“No!”
Lan Yu’s expression changed. She wanted to stop the attack, but Xue Kunpeng stopped her with his speed. He stood in front of Lan Yu and threw another crimson fist at her.
Bang!
Lan Yu managed to activate a layer of Immortal’s Core energy on her chest plate to protect herself, but she was still hit by the fist. She spat out a mouthful of blood, and her face looked pale.
However, she quickly turned around to the restriction seals.
Fortunately, someone else had blocked the Eastern Sovereign Divine Daoist’s attack.
