The liver is a late bloomer!

"Once you enter a battle at the level of the 100,000 Prodigies Ranking, the powerful figures watching the battle and the stakes placed by both sides will be different."

"In addition, these kinds of Golden Immortal Realm geniuses don't make a move easily, which leads to particularly large bet amounts."

"So only two games are needed."

"In addition, the winner of the battle between the two sides will own all the Great Dao light and shadow. After the arena is sold, the winnings will split the profits 50/50. According to the usual practice, it will be worth about ten million catties of Great Dao Origin Immortal Crystals."

"After these two battles, we'll call it a day."

"When the time comes, Ru Hai, you can gamble here with me for fun, and don't participate in the fighting anymore." Mu Chunlei's tone was somewhat regretful.

"What if I were even stronger?" Xu Chen had a vague idea in his mind.

"For every thousand people in the 100,000-strong ranking of prodigies, there will be roughly one more battle."

“If there are any more, I can’t guarantee you’ll survive,” Mu Chunlei said slowly.

"I understand." Xu Chen nodded slightly, picked up the immortal tea that Mu Chunlei had poured for him, took a sip, and watched the battle in this battle world together.

Just as the battle was raging, Mu Chunlei suddenly received a message and hurriedly pulled Xu Chen to teleport to another battle world.

Upon being teleported, Xu Chen found the square packed with members of the Divine Race, and the tea stalls were all full.

"It's so lively." Xu Chen looked at the world above with a puzzled expression.

Two Golden Immortal Realm experts, who were slightly stronger than Xu Chen in his eyes, were releasing their auras.

"This involves a battle within the Top 100,000 Prodigies Ranking, and one of the prodigies on the list has already been confirmed: Kong Che, the 93,415th ranked prodigy of the Divine Race," Mu Chunlei explained.

"Such a prodigy, dragged here to fight to the death." Xu Chen looked at the prodigy introduced by Mu Chunlei, whose main cultivation was still the space path.

"Since you've come here, you must have made some preparations."

Mu Chunlei gazed at the two prodigies emanating their auras from that world and began placing his bets.

"Listen to me, bet 1 jin of Great Dao Origin Immortal Crystals on the other prodigy to win." Mu Chunlei patted Xu Chen on the shoulder.

"Then lend me 1 Great Dao Origin Immortal Crystals first."

Xu Chen used his divine eye to examine the Dao Origin Immortal Crystals in the spatial treasure and found that they weighed less than 10,000 jin.

"?" Mu Chunlei couldn't believe it, but in the end he still lent it to Xu Chen.

After passing through the crowded square, Mu Chunlei spent a thousand catties of Daoyuan Immortal Crystals to have the owner of the open-air tea stall add a new table.

"Once the battle begins, let's see if you're confident you can defeat these two?"

Xu Chen heard Mu Chunlei's voice.

"My opponent behind me?" Xu Chen asked curiously.

"If we are confident, we will arrange a second round."

At this moment, in the battle world, under the fervent gazes of numerous gamblers, the battle begins.

The entire world of battle began to tremble, with two aspects of combat: the way of the sword and the way of shadow assassination.

Sword intent roams freely, its shadow striking without form.

The display of the two ultimate paths astonished the gamblers in the Golden Immortal Realm below.

Xu Chen sat at the tea stall, his gaze scrutinizing the battle as he continued to assess the level of the Yushen Clan's 100,000 Prodigies Ranking.
Xu Chen could tell the difference in skill between the two sides in the battle, and with his previous experience, he dared not speculate on who would win or lose.

"There are countless sword techniques, but Kong Che's method of swift killing allows him to traverse the depths of the void, making him impossible to defend against."

"Although the Shadow Assassination Path is a minor path, it is unpredictable and mysterious. During battle, it transforms into a phantom, and even a Great Luo Realm expert cannot find the clone."

Mu Chunlei explained the two cultivation paths of the two people fighting above.

"These two may look strong, but I'm confident I can beat them," Xu Chen said leisurely.

“Okay.” Mu Chunlei looked over; he trusted Xu Chen’s judgment.

In the battle world, Kong Che wields the acquired spiritual treasure sword, moving so fast that he seems to effortlessly traverse the void, slashing at any place where shadows might exist.

A dark shadow tried to attach itself to Kong Che, but was killed by Kong Che every time it got close.

"You worm in the gutter, the shadow you release moves as slowly as a crawling insect."

"Come out, there's no use hiding."

A sharp voice rang out in the battle world.

A shadow emerged from the void, then transformed into a clear, empty form, with a blue dragon formed from the Shadow Path appearing behind it.

"Finally showing some skill. How much of my strength does your shadow form possess?" Kong Che stopped fighting and asked with considerable interest.

"You'll see once you try it!"

A sinister voice echoed through the battle world.

"Good~"

The battle continued, and in an instant, the entire battle world transformed into a bizarre, empty battlefield.

However, the intense fluctuations that occasionally erupted from the deepest part of the void indicated that the two sides were still fighting.

The void and reality intertwined. At first, Kong Che was suppressing the shadow figure, but as the battle went on, the shadow figure's strength gradually increased.

However, when their strength increased again, the side that was skilled in the Shadow Path also consumed a large amount of their essence.

Seeing this, Xu Chen finally spoke up with certainty: "The one using swordsmanship is going to lose."

An hour later, a magnificent shadow flower bloomed from Kong Che's body.

After the battle ended, the true form of the Golden Immortal expert from the Shadow Cultivation Path appeared.

"Are you still confident?" Mu Chunlei asked Xu Chen.

"I'm much more confident now."

Xu Chen smiled slightly. The sword path is one of the 3000 great paths, and there are many ways to counter the shadow path. It just so happens that the second immortal divine power that Xu Chen has learned is just right to counter the shadow path.

At this moment, the betting ticket in Xu Chen's hand burned, and a spatial treasure chest was teleported over from the void.

"A little gambling is harmless fun. Winning a small bet every day adds up to a considerable amount over time." Mu Chunlei looked quite pleased with himself after winning again.

“If this continues, wouldn’t the previous person’s wealth amount to hundreds of billions of jin of Dao Origin Immortal Crystals?” Xu Chen looked at Mu Chunlei with a puzzled expression.

"No one can win all the time in a casino. There are always times when you get ripped off, but overall, I win more than I lose."

"Follow me for a few more bets, and I'll arrange your opponent for the first match."

Mu Chunlei pulled Xu Chen to other dueling arenas.

Three days later, in a restaurant within the Dark Dao Network, Xu Chen watched a battle scene unfold.

"How about it? Are you confident about this?" Mu Chunlei asked from the side.

"It's alright, it just takes a little more effort."

Watching the battle in the light and shadow, Xu Chen mentally simulated the combat scene.

"That's good! Then the battle will be scheduled for half a month from now." Mu Chunlei smiled and added more than a dozen dishes.

"it is good."

Half a month later, the 11th battleground.

At this moment, the plaza below the battle arena was also crowded with powerful figures from various races, and Xu Chen was releasing his aura in the battle arena.

Meanwhile, above the battlefield, several enormous divine thoughts intertwined.

"The Nebula Clan has really grown up to be able to cultivate such powerful prodigies right under the noses of my Divine Clan. Aren't they afraid that their painstakingly trained prodigies will perish here? They don't have any means to counteract the annihilation of true spirits." A faint voice rang out.

"They must be confident to come here. If this person performs well enough, the arena might personally intervene. After all, such a pure swordsmanship prodigy is rare." Just as several powerful divine senses were chatting, an even more powerful divine sense descended upon the area.

"Fellow Daoists, since you've all come to my precious land, how about we have a small bet? The two prodigies below are evenly matched, so the outcome of their fight will be uncertain." A kind voice rang out.

"Coming here might mean taking a gamble. I think these two prodigies below are quite good, one from the Divine Race and the other from the Nebula Race. I usually bet on the Divine Race to win, but today I'll try something different."

A primordial spiritual treasure appeared in the void, and then transformed into a gambling ticket.

Subsequently, several more innate spiritual treasures or innate spiritual treasure embryos transformed into gambling tickets in the void.

At this moment, in the battle world, Xu Chen and the genius of the Divine Race who were fighting against each other sized each other up.

Xu Chen was thinking about how to act in a way that would make it seem like he was the weaker party winning.

Meanwhile, the prodigy of the opposing Divine Clan was thinking about how to celebrate his victory.

"The battle begins!"

In an instant, a dark power enveloped the entire battlefield.

A devouring force enveloped Xu Chen's entire body, slowly absorbing the Golden Immortal power emanating from him.

"The path of devouring allows one to grow stronger with each battle under normal circumstances."

"but!"

Xu Chen brandished his battle sword, and in an instant, a destructive intent condensed into a giant sword a thousand feet long, suppressing the entire battlefield.

The power of the Great Dao of Destruction directly suppressed this Netherworld power.

Xu Chen also stepped into the void and swung his sword at the genius of the Divine Race.

At this moment, the gamblers outside the battlefield were either excited or frustrated.

"The Nebula Clan's immortal divine power, Annihilation!!" A gambler familiar with the Nebula Clan recognized this divine power.

With terrifying destructive power, Xu Chen shattered the shield of the Divine Race with a single sword strike, and with his final strike, he destroyed the Devouring Abyss that suddenly appeared beneath him.

"Is that all you've got? The battle is about to end," Xu Chen said leisurely.

"It's not over yet!"

An excited voice rang out, and twelve acquired spiritual treasures, the Chaos God Pearls, appeared around the young man of the Divine Race.

Six basketball-sized Chaos God Beads, controlled by the genius of the Divine Race, hurtled towards Xu Chen.

The immense power unleashed by each Chaos God Pearl as it dances is enough to destroy an entire Mystic Immortal World.

Xu Chen switched from offense to defense, dealing with these Chaos God Pearls, and also leaving a backup plan on the battlefield.

At this moment, the genius of the Divine Race once again unleashed his devouring power, attempting to destroy the giant sword of destruction that was in the center of the battlefield.

"You're overthinking it." Xu Chen reached out and pressed down, and a terrifying destructive force shot out from the blade of the giant sword, directly locking onto the genius of the Divine Race.

Seeing the immense destructive power, the genius of the Divine Race dared not underestimate it. The six Chaos God Pearls around him instantly enlarged and lined up in a straight line to block the destructive power.

"boom!!!"

The violent destructive power was blocked after penetrating the triple Chaos God Pearls.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xu Chen unleashed wave after wave of destructive sword light, but all of them were blocked by the other six Chaos God Pearls.

"This is indeed a bit troublesome." Xu Chen frowned slightly, looking at the God-Controlling Clan prodigy who was as tough as a tortoise shell.

Meanwhile, an even greater devouring force was brewing deep within the void, which, once unleashed, could devour the destructive giant sword he had condensed.

The genius of the Divine Clan looked at Xu Chen, who seemed to have been forced into a desperate situation, and a smile appeared on his face.

As long as he devours that greatsword of the Path of Destruction, he will be able to unleash an even stronger devouring power imbued with the power of destruction, pulling Xu Chen back into a war of attrition.

With the balance of power shifting, he will surely prevail.

"Sword kills seven lives, sword kills a hundred realms!"

"Sword kills seven lives, giant sword annihilates spirits!"

A world of sword intent descended, and Xu Chen, transformed into his true sword avatar, wielded a giant sword towards that terrifying devouring power.

The six Chaos God Pearls transformed into pearls hundreds of feet in size and hurled at Xu Chen once more.

Just then, a figure appeared from the depths of the void beside the genius of the Divine Race.

However, the genius of the Divine Clan was clearly prepared for this move, and the illusion could not break through the defense at all.

The Illusion Sword struck the Chaos God Pearl and instantly unleashed a terrifying sword intent that enveloped the genius of the Divine Race.

At this moment, the destructive power attached to the sword intent, with the blessing of the Hundred Kill Sword Realm, suddenly increased several times in power.

Meanwhile, a wisp of sword intent took the opportunity to penetrate the defenses of the Divine Clan prodigy and enter his body.

Subsequently, more and more sword-themed fantasies appeared around the geniuses of the Divine Race.

Meanwhile, Xu Chen unleashed his strongest sword strike with his true sword form, destroying the terrifying devouring power in the void.

"boom!!"

A massive wave of energy swept across the entire battlefield.

In that instant, Xu Chen unleashed the sword intent that had entered the body of the Yu Shen Clan prodigy.

In an instant, the essence of the God-Controlling Clan's prodigy was consumed by 30%, while Xu Chen's true sword body crossed the void.

The swordsman's true form split into two, launching a fierce attack on the geniuses of the Divine Race.

As the raging sword intent entered the bodies of the Yushen Clan prodigies time and again, an elder of the Yushen Clan outside the battle world sighed.

"boom!!"

Without warning, the genius of the Divine Race, who was in the middle of the battle, suddenly self-destructed, and the violent power directly consumed five-tenths of Xu Chen's source energy.

After the battle ended, Xu Chen stood in the middle of the battlefield with a puzzled expression.

Meanwhile, 40% of the gamblers outside the battle world began to cheer.

Xu Chen, who was originally teleported to the plaza, was instead pulled into a secret realm by a mysterious spatial force.

"Why were I teleported here?" Xu Chen asked, looking at the God Clan manager of the gambling arena not far away.

"Young friend's strength is already qualified to enter the list of 100,000 prodigies of my Yushen Clan. Once you enter this level, my arena invites you to fight against strong people of the same level. Of course, it is not mandatory."

"I wonder if you'd be interested, young friend?" the manager of the gambling arena asked in a friendly tone.

"I'll think about it," Xu Chen said, preparing to leave.

"A single bet starts at 30 million catties of Dao Origin Immortal Crystals; bets will be calculated separately."

Xu Chen stopped in his tracks.

"I have another battle to fight. I'll discuss it with you in detail after that." Xu Chen calculated in his mind that if he bet on the Great Dao Origin Immortal Crystals again, he could earn a massive amount of Great Dao Origin Immortal Crystals in each battle.

"Waiting for news from my little friend."

The Dark Path Network is a secluded realm with beautiful mountains and rivers.

Xu Chen and Mu Chunlei are fishing.

"If you're not hiding your strength, it's best to refuse," Mu Chunlei said leisurely.

"With 30 million catties of Great Dao Origin Immortal Crystals per game, plus the bets, I can win over 100 million Great Dao Origin Immortal Crystals in one game," Xu Chen said leisurely.

"Be careful, you might earn it but not live to spend it," Mu Chunlei retorted, returning Xu Chen's earlier words. (End of Chapter)
