The high-grade treasures within the Ten Thousand Treasures Labyrinth held little allure for Fang Fan—like a peerless beauty batting her eyes at a child, it evoked no reaction. Thus, the first trial of greed collapsed effortlessly.
But Chen Yi was different. He was utterly enchanted at first sight!
Like a mouse stumbling into a granary or a pauper ascending a mountain of gold, he hadn’t even stepped inside properly before he began furiously "sowing seeds" at the entrance!
These were no ordinary seeds, but lustrous, multicolored Chaos Orbs!
He wasn’t there to claim treasures—just to leave his mark. Then, locating the labyrinth’s vital nodes, he drove the orbs deep like dragon-pinning nails, ensuring the Ten Thousand Treasures Labyrinth would never escape!
For now, only one Five-Star avatar had entered, barely capable of preparatory work—locking down the labyrinth. Only after two more Five-Star avatars arrived as reinforcements could he truly run amok!
Soon, eighty Chaos Orbs were embedded into every critical node of the labyrinth.
Only a One-Star avatar remained active.
After all, the energy-level bar overhead imposed heavier suppression the higher one’s cultivation. Only True Immortals could move freely here.
"Good, it’s locked. This Ten Thousand Treasures Labyrinth won’t be going anywhere. Time to proceed—I wonder if the next trial will be even more enticing?"
"Ah, best not get too greedy. This labyrinth is likely the most valuable challenge in the entire treasure realm, second only to the Chaos Supreme Treasure..."
"Best check if Little Fang is still alive."
With his mind made up, Chen Yi finally directed his One-Star avatar to advance.
Navigating a maze was child’s play for cultivators, and the tantalizing treasures were already as good as his. Nothing could shake his resolve!
So Chen Yi strolled through as if it were his own backyard, leisurely admiring the radiant glow of the treasures along the way...
Fang Fan had cleared this place by luck, but Chen Yi did so by sheer skill!
The Ten Thousand Treasures Labyrinth was powerless against him. With its dragon-spine meridians pinned, it couldn’t even activate the second trial, leaving Chen Yi free to wander unimpeded, taking in every sight...
"A Nine-Rank Ember Pearl? Not bad—almost on par with a Dao Ancestor-grade artifact!"
"A Chaos Spirit Root, the Creation Green Lotus? Excellent! This is the embryo of a Dao Ancestor-grade treasure, and no ordinary one at that. Its mechanics... are quite advanced!"
"‘Exempt from karma for one lifetime, reborn anew upon the Green Lotus... Nine hundred and ninety-nine lives, replenishable with Chaos Essence.’ The value here is exceptional!"
"This treasure belongs in my Purple Tenuity Celestial Court!"
Like master, like disciple—Chen Yi’s thoughts mirrored Fang Fan’s. Both agreed such treasures should be hauled home for shared use!
Without hesitation, Chen Yi marked another key target before stepping out of the maze and arriving before the trial’s terminus stele.
Yet the moment he saw it, his fiery enthusiasm was doused. His gaze turned icy, and the faint smile on his lips vanished.
Because there was no encrypted missive from Little Fang on the stele.
What did this mean?
It meant Little Fang was likely trapped inside the Ten Thousand Treasures Labyrinth!
Given his diligence, he would never have forgotten to leave a declaration on the terminus stele.
But Chen Yi had scoured every corner of the labyrinth and found no trace of him—not even a single hair!
Though he loathed to assume the worst, the evidence pointed to one conclusion: Little Fang might truly be lost forever within the labyrinth.
Perhaps absorbed as nourishment by the World Tree, melted upon the Crimson Sun Immortal Gold Mountain, or dissolved into nothingness by the Bitter Sea of Weak Waters beneath the Creation Green Lotus...
Aside from the encrypted missives he’d left on the steles, not a single trace of him remained in the treasure realm.
Chen Yi stood silently before the terminus stele for a long time before finally sighing.
"Little Fang, you’ve done well. Your name will stand among the foremost on the Purple Tenuity Celestial Court’s Merit Stele, and the Annals of Time will reserve a page for you alone."
"I arrived too late. Since this malicious realm took your life, let it be your funeral offering!"
As the words fell—
A massive black halberd slowly materialized in his grasp.
Simultaneously—
In the second trial, the Five Elements Mountain Range, streaks of Chaos Orbs shot forth, defying the immense suppression as they raced toward the summit.
The laborers forced to mine here trembled, clueless about the upheaval.
In the third trial, the Chaos Crucible—
Feng Jinhuang was attempting to discreetly remove the eighty-one Chaos Orb necklace around her neck when—
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The orbs streaked past like meteors, piercing through obstructing Star Core Eyes with ease. The terrifying power they radiated even pacified the violently chaotic field around them!
"Tsk—"
"Is that kid throwing a tantrum?"
"What in the world did he encounter in the later trials?"
"Summoning so many orb avatars—is he trying to seize the Supreme Treasure by force?"
"Eighty-one orbs can suppress a Great Luo with ease. Over a hundred... Is he planning to fight a Dao Ancestor?"
"Just what is his background?!"
Feng Jinhuang was utterly shaken. She immediately tightened the necklace around her neck and decided to behave.
Now was not the time to provoke him—lest she suffer dire consequences.
Soon—
A full one hundred and sixty-five Chaos Orbs converged upon the Ten Thousand Treasures Labyrinth!
Without hesitation, Chen Yi fused and elevated them!
In an instant, two Five-Star avatars manifested, anchoring the north and south. One hand resisted the treasure realm’s energy-level suppression while the other imprinted their will upon the labyrinth, forcibly refining it!
The Ten Thousand Treasures Labyrinth, a sentient maze, sensed imminent peril.
Countless treasures within trembled, attempting to flee into the void—
But Chen Yi had prepared well.
The eighty Chaos Orbs embedded in the labyrinth’s dragon-spine meridians blazed to life, and with the One-Star avatar at the terminus stele wielding the halberd, they formed a sealing array!
Treasures trying to escape?
The entrance was sealed, the exit guarded by Chen Yi—none would slip past!
BOOM!
The entire space quaked violently. The realm’s rules couldn’t fully suppress Chen Yi’s rampage as the halberd’s strikes distorted, shattered, and annihilated everything in their path!
CRACK!
The indestructible treasure realm fractured, spiderweb-like fissures spreading as the chaotic void energy surged in, seeking to reduce all within to nothingness.
But alas—
Before the void energy could wreak havoc, Chen Yi’s own overwhelming domain crushed it into submission.
In the blink of an eye, the raging void energy grew docile, calm...
ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
ut it can buy an entire year of absolutely perfect training results! Su Yu stared at his empty wallet and decisively opened up various online loan platforms. “Borrow a thousand bucks! Recharge my vitality!” Boom! His vitality broke a hundred points, shattering the limits of the human body! “Borrow ten thousand bucks! Recharge my combat skills!” Boom! A basic punching technique so common it was everywhere instantly maxed out, revealing the ultimate assassination technique of Five Elements Unity—Inner Force! When a rich kid hired assassins for a midnight ambush, aiming to break both of his legs, they instead ran headfirst into a monster—a human-shaped tyrannosaur, brimming with dragon-like vitality. With just two fingers, Su Yu snapped a steel staff reinforced with alloy. Staring at the killer’s stash of stolen cash—a staggering quarter-million dollars—he showed a corporate-sincere smile: “Thanks for the pre-exam gift pack, Mr. Zhao! I’m gonna go re-invest this!” Three days later, at the National Martial Arts College Entrance Exam, while everyone else struggled just to reach the passing line, Su Yu threw a single punch—and more than a thousand vitality points literally detonated the entire arena!
for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
