Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

“Tell me how many pieces of Bloody Black Gold there are,” Zhao Wuji demanded. “Are there 99 of them?”

“There are one hundred and eight of them. I’ve counted many times,” Yang Dingtian said. “But, most of them are growing on a cliff, and there is boiling magma at the bottom. I only managed to dig out three of them after going through lots of hardship and almost dropped down into the magma.”

Yang Dingtian took out the two remaining ten-thousand-year-old Bloody Black Gold.

Immediately, Zhao Wuji was no longer suspicious and asked, “What idea do you have? Tell me about it.”

“Senior, this is Bloody Black Gold that is ten thousand years old. Even one piece surpasses others of its kind over ten times over. As a result, these 99 pieces are already sufficient to forge the most powerful sword.” Yang Dingtian looked at Zhao Wuji and said, “Then, the remaining 9 would not be of any use to you. Could you give them to me? I’m the only one who knows the path, and I’ll bring you there. Out of 108 pieces, you take 99, and I’ll take 9. Deal?”

Zhao Wuji stared at him coldly. “Do you think that you are in a position to bargain? You have already told me to dive 100 meters down. How can I not know how to get there?”

“You won’t be able to find the Bloody Black Gold mine without me showing you the way. You can try it if you don’t believe me,” Yang Dingtian said. “I only want 9 pieces, which won’t be useful to you anyway. You can either make a promise with me or just kill me!”

Zhao Wuji raised his palm lightly and showed a violent gaze, wanting to kill Yang Dingtian with one hit.

“Treasures are really tempting, so much so that you aren’t even scared of death.” Zhao Wuji gave a cold sneer and put down his hands. “Show me the way, and I’ll give you 9 of them.”

“That’s the deal. Make an oath now,” Yang Dingtian said.

Zhao Wuji’s expression turned angry, and there was a glimpse of killing intent. Then, he clenched his teeth and said, “Later on, I will definitely split 9 pieces of Bloody Black Gold that is of ten thousand years old to give to this young man, or I will die terribly.”

“Okay, I will bring you there now.” Yang Dingtian said excitedly. Then, he immediately jumped into the unfreezing water and dove down.

“Dumbass, as soon as I find the Bloody Black Gold mine, I will immediately tear you into pieces,” Zhao Wuji said coldly as he stared at Yang Dingtian’s back. Then, he followed him into the unfreezing pond.

…..

He dove to 80 meters below the surface!

90 meters!

95 meters!

This was the depth that Zhao Wuji had never reached before, and while Yang Dingtian’s entire body was already stiff, Zhao Wuji only felt his limbs stiffen. He was still an Honorable Master, and his cold resistance was still stronger than Yang Dingtian’s. It was just that he was more cautious before and thought that the pond was 200 meters deep. When 80 meters was not even halfway down, he thought he’d freeze to death before reaching the bottom.

“It couldn’t be that this child wants me to freeze to death here.” Zhao Wuji was a little worried and was about to kill Yang Dingtian in the water.

Yang Dingtian, who was in front, instantly rushed forward, pushing through 100 meters, rolled over in the water, and began to float up.

Zhao Wuji rushed forward as well and found it weird that he began to float after flipping over.

“There is an anti-gravity field here?” Zhao Wuji was shocked and happy.

An anti-gravity field could only be formed when two large energy forces repel, which indicated that there really was a huge Bloody Black Gold mine beneath the pond. It seems that Yang Dingtian had not lied to him.

“Ah!”

Instantly, the two of them floated to the water surface, the other side of unfreezing pond.

Looking at this huge cave after experiencing the anti-gravity field, Zhao Wuji was extremely shocked and said to Yang Dingtian, “Please show me the way.”

“Okay, follow me.” Yang Dingtian went up and climbed into the crystal cave hole, walking towards the inside while Zhao Wuji followed closely behind.

Following the crystal mine passage, Yang Dingtian walked deeper and deeper, and the surrounding temperature became higher and higher. The ice that Yang Dingtian held in his hands had completely melted. He was smarter this time as he had consumed a stomach-full of ice water beforehand so that he won’t be dehydrated later on.

Two thousand meters into the passage.

Three thousand meters.

Four thousand meters.

Zhao Wuji became more and more impatient as he asked,” Why have we not arrived yet? How far is it?”

“Soon, soon.” Yang Dingtian continued walking forward.

“If you dare to lie to me, I guarantee that I will let you experience all kinds of pain before you die,” Zhao Wuji said coldly.

“Still have one thousand meters to go,” Yang Dingtian said as he continued walking forward.

The further they went, the higher the temperature rose.

Zhao Wuji’s hair and eyebrows began to curl. He rubbed them with his palm, and all of his hair and eyebrows were instantly shaved away, leaving only his shiny head behind.

“Child, I’ll let you live for a little while longer. As soon as I find the Bloody Black Gold, I’ll make sure that you die without a burial ground,” Zhao Wuji said angrily in his heart.

They walked another thousand meters, and the heat at that moment was already unbearable.

Yang Dingtian stood before the last corner and said, “Senior, it’s right there. I can’t go any further or I’ll be burned alive…..”

At the moment, Yang Dingtian’s voice was completely husky as his throat had completely dried up.

This was already the end of the crystal mine, and they could already see large amounts of blinding light.

Zhao Wuji’s eyes were wide open, and his heart was beating extremely fast. He moved forward step-by-step, but he slowed down as he was afraid that Yang Dingtian was lying to him. He could no longer handle another failure.

Zhao Wuji walked past the last corner, and his eyes instantly widened!

He was shocked and surprised!

He was so happy to the extent that he was about to go insane as he beheld everything before his eyes.

The walls of the huge cave were filled with countless pieces of Bloody Black Gold that were ten thousand years old. Although he didn’t know how many there were, it was definitely more than the 108 Yang Dingtian said there were.

But at the moment, he no longer cared. Who would complain about too much treasure?

“They’re all mine. They’re all mine!” Zhao Wuji said to himself. “All this Bloody Black Gold is mine, my splendid soul sword, my emperor soul sword!”

“The title of world’s number one will be mine now.”

“Cloud Sky City, I will wipe you all out.”

“Northwest Qin Family, I will wipe you all out.”

“Yang Peipei, I will make you my female slave.”

“I will become the Lord of this world!”

“Hahaha….”

“Dumbass, you have completed your mission. You can die now.” Zhao Wuji let out a cold laugh, raised his hands, and prepared to kill Yang Dingtian. But, he realized that Yang Dingtian was already gone. The latter had escaped secretly when he was overwhelmed with joy.

“A useless enlightener. Where can you escape to?” Zhao Wuji turned around and was moved to hunt for Yang Dingtian.

He was still very spiteful, choosing not to mine the Bloody Black Gold but to kill Yang Dingtian first.

However, a beautiful piece of ten-thousand-year-old Bloody Black Gold caught his eye. It was merely an inch away from him.

“Didn’t you say that you wanted the Bloody Black Gold? I will put this Bloody Black Gold into your stomach and let you choke to death.” Zhao Wuji laughed and reached out to grab that piece of Bloody Black Gold, preparing to remove it from the wall.

As soon as his hand touched the Bloody Black Gold, an extremely powerful energy instantly emerged from the cave.

“Roar….” There was a roar from somewhere beneath the magma.

A huge beast rose up from the abyss.

It was the lord of the abyss with eight heads and sixteen hands, and it was exactly a hundred meters tall when it stood up.

Zhao Wuji was stunned. He was completely stunned.

“Small little dumbass, you cheated me!” Zhao Wuji yelled as he madly tried to escape.

“Bang!” The lord of the abyss’s hundred-meter-long flame whip flew over and struck Zhao Wuji’s back like a bolt of lightning.

“Ah….” A horrible scream sounded out, and he coughed up copious amounts of fresh blood.

Zhao Wuji flew dozens of meters, his entire body having been sliced into two pieces. Everything below his chest had been cut off by the flame whip.

“Hong…” A dozen meters of the solid crystal cave collapsed, and a huge crystal rock slammed down onto Zhao Wuji’s body, burying him beneath it.

The lord of the abyss sighed, and its gigantic body dove back into the magma, leaving only its two eyes floating on the surface.

Yang Dingtian, who was hiding in the distance, was completely stunned. An Honorable Master Elite, one of the strongest in the world, had no means of fighting back against the lord of the abyss and was split in half. This lord of the abyss was really very powerful.

“Master, this lord of the abyss is actually this powerful? Will I be able to kill it when I become a Xuan Martial Artist Elite?” Yang Dingtian asked in disbelief.

“As long as you have the Xuan Fire of Heaven and Earth, I will have ways to kill it. And even cultivate it to turn it into a soul spirit to feed your soul sword and speed up its progression,” Dongfang Niemie replied.

At the moment, Zhao Wuji was not dead yet. He looked at Yang Dingtian, filled with hatred and resentment. “You trapped me?”

Yang Dingtian looked at him and said coldly, “That’s right, you must die.”

“I will kill you. I will break you into pieces,’ Zhao Wuji shouted angrily, and his hands shook like those of an angry ghost.

But as soon as he moved, he bled profusely. The body below his chest has been sliced apart. As such, he no longer had an energy sea and no longer had any energy left. He wouldn’t last another 5 minutes.

Yang Dingtian only stared at him coldly.

“I never thought that this hero would end up dying by your hands.” After shaking for a while, he already reached his limit and could no longer even spit up any blood.

“You wanted to have all this Bloody Black Gold. You had to keep it a secret, which is why you wanted to kill me?” Zhao Wuji said.

“That’s right, these 999 pieces of Bloody Black Gold, I want them all,” Yang Dingtian said. “Today, if you don’t die, then I’m the one who will be dead!”

“Destiny, destiny, it’s all destined!” Zhao Wuji moaned.

Then, he became quiet, and the only remaining sound was that of Zhao Wuji’s life slowly bleeding away.

“I’ve killed countless people in this life through violence and cunning. It’s not surprising for me to die like this,” Zhao Wuji said softly. His voice had become extremely weak. “Child, can you tell me your name?”

“Yang Dingtian.”

“The new Cloud Sky City Lord? Dongfang Niemie’s disciple? It was you! No wonder, no wonder.” Zhao Wuji was incredibly shocked.

Then, Zhao Wuji said, “Yang Dingtian, can you do me a favor?”

“Speak,” Yang Dingtian said.

“Three hundred miles southwest from here is my Horror Mountain Village,” Zhao Wuji said. “I have only one child. He was struck by someone four years ago and has been poisoned ever since. His cultivation can no longer be recovered. I will no longer be in this world, and he won’t be able to take care of himself. Pass him a message for me and tell him to leave the Mountain Village, to go to a normal small mountain village and live the life of an ordinary person. Let others fight for the position of the village head. In four days, there will be a catastrophe that will destroy the entire village.”

“In four days, isn’t that just when both moons cover both suns? Although something will happen, there may not be a catastrophe,” Yang Dingtian said.

Zhao Wuji said, “For other families, there may not be a catastrophe, but there is a thousand-year-old owl that is sealed in the deep dungeon of Horror Mountain Village. During the Yin Yang festival, its strength will grow, allowing it to break through the seal. At that time, everything within around a hundred Li radius around Horror Mountain Village will be completely destroyed by it….”

Zhao Wuji hadn’t finished his words, but Yang Dingtian’s heart jumped. He trembled and asked, “Master, is the owl an electric breast? Is it a rare electric beast…?”
