The not-so-subtle implication of the 'casual' remark was that Fang Yu and Yuo Ruluo were not themselves but disguises of former reincarnated Dao Fruit practitioners from the outside world. In the Eternal Purgatory World, the concept of foreign cultivators was often associated with pillage and destruction. As a collective, the native cultivators on the planet were wary of outsiders for this reason. Sure enough, the expression on everyone's faces changed when the Elder made this comment. Suspicion, hate and disgust replaced the former awe on the Young Supremes faces very quickly. Meanwhile, a few people such as Ji Xizi, Su Mei, her Master and Hu Zehzi frowned. 'As they say, the older the ginger, the spicier!' Fang Yu let out a disappointed sigh. It had only taken a single remark to undo all the damage Yue Ruluo had done so far. From now, it wouldn't matter if he drew a hundred more paintings exposing the true nature of the Ri

Previously, Hu Zehzi had confidently held back the Righteous Path Elders, not because they were wary of his strength but because his surging momentum had declared an unspoken warning; he could be taken down by them, but not before one or more lost their lives to his sword. The open threat was particularly effective thanks to his prior action of ruthlessly killing Old Wen not long ago, as no one wished to be the one to lose their life over this matter. However, the events had escalated to this extent and they now cast aside their hesitation to confront the swordsman. The Vajra Saint Temple Master, an Elder from the Divine Mammoth Sect Elder, the Nine Petals Pavilion Master, the fifth Elder of the Surging Snow Peak, the Elder from the Bamboo Enlightenment Academy and finally the Frigid Icicle Sect Master unsheathed their weapons and prepared to strike. Just when the onlookers could almost forsee the scene of Hu Zehzi spitting out blood with his aura wanin

Due to the urgency of the situation, Fang Yu had no time to ponder on all the possibilities of things going wrong. Above all, one thing was certain; doing nothing meant he would be left with the sole option of undergoing the tribulation with the hope that his transformed godshard would suffice for the Immortal Root transformation. Otherwise, his soul would be extinguished under the tribulation thunder and scattered between the heaven and the Earth with no chance at reincarnation. "You dare?" The Vajra Saint Temple Master was angered when he saw Fang Yu moving towards the entrance and impulsively threw a palm strike. Immediately, Hu Zehzi started to launch a sword strike of his own to shatter the attack but stopped when Master Zhao hurriedly held his arm with a smile of schadenfreude on his lips. Seeing this, Yue Ruluo who had already retrieved a trump card and was about to activate it to rescue his Junior Brother was perplexed but chose to stay his hand

Almost immediately, the terrain underneath Fang Yu's feet shook and underwent a sudden transformation.It was akin to a reconstruction of the square zone he stood on, now merging into a rectangular battle zone. In front of him, a startled cultivator faced him as an opponent.From the hands of the two, two demon cores flew out to merge into one and floated grandly above their heads. At the same time, the cultivators received a message that the merged demon core would be awarded to the winner of this round."This guy also staked a demon core?" The opponent wanted to cry but had no tears.After assimilating the rules of the challenge, the young man had intentionally chosen to stake a relatively ordinary item thinking that the really strong participants would surely stake items with a far higher worth, thus steering himself clear of matching with them. Unexpectedly, Fang Yu had chosen to stake exactly what he did and resulted in this development.

Within different battle arenas of the separate Battlefields, the challenges continued.Every couple of breaths, victories and simultaneous losses emerged. The fortutious cultivators who fell in the former category instantly absorbed the double gains and prepared for the next challenge while the latter lost their qualifications to hold square zones and got transported somewhere away from the battlefields.In the Knight Battlefield, Fang Yu came across opponent after opponent and fought tediously. This was his first experience fighting against cultivators from the same generation as himself, and he finally got to witness firsthand the might of the famous Young Supremes. However, he grew bored after a couple of battles and simply stuck to summoning the War Domain at the start of every battle, employing the continuous spawning of light weapons to fight. This created a situation where the weaker opponents were finished off in one or two slashes while the more
