Gao Wu: Others practice martial arts, but you cultivate immortality?

"This won't work, that won't work... Tell me, how can you be sure of my sincerity?"

"I will bestow upon you a supreme secret technique, how about it?"

"I dare not cultivate. With your level of cultivation, leaving a hidden door in the secret technique would be a piece of cake..." Chu Yuan also realized that it would be very difficult for him to get any benefits from the other party.

Even if the other party offered him some benefits, he wouldn't dare to accept them...

The black-robed supreme being laughed, "Didn't you have a lot of confidence in your clan's supreme being? I'll bestow upon you a secret technique; you can have them test it. If there are any hidden tricks, wouldn't that just prove I have ulterior motives?"

"You've always harbored ill intentions..." Chu Yuan retorted, but ultimately, he was somewhat tempted.

That makes sense...

Even if he has difficulty discovering the hidden door, isn't there still the Supreme One?

Surely the Supreme Being can tell?

Even if you don't cultivate it, you can still study it and maybe discover its weaknesses... Why not take it if you can!

"However, what you said does make some sense..." Chu Yuan deliberately said, "But if I were to join you, wouldn't I also have to transform into a monster?"

"Of course not, we had no other choice..." The black-robed supreme ruler shook his head, seemingly unwilling to say anything more;

His body collapsed, leaving only a rune in place that was completely different from the original;

"Chu Yuan, I'll be waiting for you on the first battlefield..."

"......"

Chu Yuan thought to himself, "Then you can wait and see." He decided that he would absolutely not go to the First Battlefield before advancing to the Great Ascension stage...

He put away the rune, carefully examined it, and found no danger.

However, Chu Yuan was not in a hurry to read the information; he needed to wait for the Supreme Being to examine it before he could determine its credibility...

The most important thing now is to go back and deal with the Lord of Nightmare Time, so that he doesn't run away after learning about this strange realm.

Even healing should wait...

.......

On the edge of the eerie realm, battles occasionally take place;

Three human martial artists at the Origin Realm were being besieged in a bizarre and perilous situation.

But as time went on, one of them keenly noticed... that his strange strength seemed to be declining?

"Are these strange phenomena... getting weaker?"

"Could it be some kind of trap?"

"Judging from the panic on his face, it doesn't seem feigned..."

"Strange, why is that?"

After exchanging words in a flash, the three discovered that the group of strange beings attacking them had stopped and scattered in all directions.

"Should we pursue them or not!?"

"...Pursue! This situation is unusual; if we find anything, it will be a great achievement!"

"I agree!"

This is not an isolated case. All martial artists who have encountered the strange phenomenon have found that the strange power has weakened.

The realm remains the same, yet it seems as if a heavy shackle has been placed upon it...

Some people hesitated and watched from the sidelines.

But some people believe that fortune favors the bold and take risks, so they grit their teeth and chase after the bizarre.

As they ventured deeper into the eerie realm, they discovered something that defied common sense... Logically, the deeper they went into the eerie realm, the stronger the omnipresent chilling aura in the void became!

But now, the deeper they go, the lighter the chilling feeling becomes;

There seem to be signs of the night sky turning into a normal night sky?

Given the strange weakness, some have already begun to speculate... that something extraordinary may have happened deep within the realm of the uncanny...

......

"Lord of the Burning Star".

"Chu Yuan!? You're back?" The Lord of Burning Star breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Chu Yuan's expression was normal.

Chu Yuan was also observing his reaction at this moment;

The Lord of Nightmare is mysterious, but who knows if the Lord of Burning Star is too?

From what we can see so far, there is no suspicion. When the Lord of Burning Stars saw him, he did not give him that strange look in his eyes.

But given Feichen's example... who knows if he was faking it?

He wanted to ask the city lord, but the city lord seemed to be busy with something and did not reply...

However, the words spoken by the Lord of Burning Stars temporarily dispelled Chu Yuan's doubts.

He whispered, "Chu Yuan, why did you attack Yan Shi? Do you know... he has already transformed into a monster?"

Chu Yuan's gaze sharpened: "What do you mean? You knew all along?"

"Of course I know, one of my tasks is to keep a close eye on him..."

Chu Yuan's expression was extremely unpleasant: "Since you knew, why did you let it go?!"

Although his tone was harsh, the Lord of Burning Star didn't care. Others were high-level rulers, while he was only middle-level... So what if he was a little impolite?

He then explained, "Because he is still useful for the time being... In this war zone, what we humans face is not just the supernatural; in fact, the supernatural are the newcomers, they only appeared ten thousand years ago."

Originally, this war zone was fought over by humans and demons...

Even though Yan Shi is at least a Sovereign Realm warrior, if he wants to remain in hiding, he must do his part for humanity.

That's why I let it go...

This was not his intention; it was a decision made by the higher echelons of humanity.

Chu Yuan frowned, not because his anger had subsided, but because he suddenly remembered that the city lord had once told him that this situation could indeed occur...

Being identified by the clan as a mysterious ruler of the starry sky is not always immediately exposed;

Instead, they first extract some of the remaining value...

"When was he possessed?"

"Possessed? He wasn't possessed by any strange entity, but rather he refined a seed of strangeness..." The Lord of Burning Stars smiled bitterly;

"Doesn't he know the function of the Seed of the Strange?" Chu Yuan found it somewhat absurd;

Among those who have the potential to advance to the Starry Sky Dominator and come into contact with strange Origin Realm warriors, the taboo against refining strange seeds is almost universally known!

"It seems... the supernatural forces must have made some kind of preparations;"

"If it were immediately obvious that it was a strange seed, he wouldn't have refined it," the Lord of Burning Stars sighed. "By the time I realized something was wrong with him, it was too late. I could only report to the clan to investigate."

I only found out about the result later...

He also felt it was a pity. Originally, after the drastic change in the universe ten thousand years ago, the laws were active, and Yan Shi had a chance to advance to the Starry Sky Ruler through normal means.

Just like the new rulers emerging from the ranks of the races...

pity.......

Chu Yuan remained silent for a moment, feeling somewhat weary: "Since that's the case... let's kill them."

"Chu Yuan, he's still useful during Nightmare Time..."

"I have broken through the Ghost Realm; Nightmare will soon find out."

At that time, it will be inevitable that they will flee.

"The Ghost Realm... you broke through it?" The Lord of Burning Star was dumbfounded: "...What do you mean?"

"It means that this strange realm will no longer exist, and I have killed all the strange rulers within it!"

Do you think Yan Shi will run away after learning this news?

"Really!?" the Lord of the Burning Star exclaimed incredulously. "How did you do that?"

He knew that no matter how unbelievable the story sounded, Chu Yuan wouldn't use such an easily debunked lie to amuse him.

"...We'll talk about how I did it later. Shouldn't we get down to business first?" Chu Yuan sighed. "I was injured in this battle, so I didn't participate."

"Nightmare isn't very strong, you should be confident you can take him down, right?"

"Don't worry..."
