“Fatty!”

Du Gang shouted, his face full of anger.

This fat man scammed him out of fifty thousand Saint Crystals!

This outburst immediately drew the attention of the surrounding crowd.

Seeing it was Du Gang, they couldn’t help but expose their joyful expressions.

After all, earlier in the temple, Du Gang was synonymous with luck. Now that Du Gang was in their vicinity, how wonderful! It meant their chance at fortune was close at hand!

On the other side, the fat Taoist burst into laughter when he heard the shouting: “I have a name, you can call me fat, but why add the word ‘dead’ to it?!”

“Fatty, fatty, fatty!”

Du Gang shouted thrice in succession, still not feeling vented, he angrily demanded: “What’s your name? Dare you expose it?!”

He didn’t even know who this fat man was, so asking his name was quite necessary.

The chubby Taoist laughingly said: “I am Duan Youde. How about it, isn’t the name nice? Much better than your Du Gang…”

“Du Gang, with ‘Gang’ as a single character, it’s so boring, just like a greenhorn…”

As he spoke, he began to mock Du Gang’s name.

Du Gang coldly snorted, “You call yourself ‘Youde’ (meaning righteous)? I think you should be called ‘quede’ (meaning unscrupulous)!”

“You, the kind of person who digs up people’s ancestral graves all day, do you have any righteousness?”

He had personally seen Duan Youde dig up two family’s ancestral graves, not only did he jump in, making the ancestral bones creak under his weight, he even impersonated the family’s ancestors to deceive others!

Unexpectedly, Duan Youde simply laughed: “My actions accumulate righteousness. Taking the deceased to see the world isn’t unscrupulous…”

Du Gang was speechless, he felt this guy’s ideas were twisted.

Digging up people’s graves, he didn’t feel excessive, instead he thought of it as accumulating righteousness.

Even the others, upon hearing Duan Youde’s words, couldn’t help but look at him twice.

After all, one needed to remember and be wary of a person who liked to dig up people’s graves.

But Duan Youde didn’t mind the crowd’s gaze.

“Why care about these people who cannot appear on the stage of the Primordial Continent?”

In his eyes, these people were nothing but small fries, totally unworthy of his attention.

The only one worth noting was the Ancient God Du Gang, who as the one destined to face the calamity!

“What are you doing here?!”

Du Gang shouted angrily, thinking it over, he didn’t feel vented enough and went on: “You have already cultivated into a deity, why are you still here? Moreover, are you at the God Spirit Level or the Sector Lord Level?!”

He intentionally wanted everyone else to know Duan Youde’s background to draw attention.

After all, in his speculation, the following situation might be similar to what happened inside the temple, aside from opportunities that could be had without any effort, there should still be other opportunities that required effort to obtain.

Sure enough, after hearing Du Gang’s words, everyone wore surprised faces, looking curiously at Duan Youde.

Although Duan Youde didn’t care about people’s opinions, he also didn’t want to be mobbed, since he had limited strength currently. He explained with a smile: “I advanced to the God Spirit Level long ago, but injuries caused my realm to drop. I’m here just to find some treasures. Rest assured, I’m not interested in your opportunities to become gods!”

At this, many people looked surprised.

“He’s a God Spirit?!”

“Can God Spirit Level even come here?”

“That’s not right, I heard from the elders before. God Spirits can’t come in here!”

Duan Youde laughed: “I have a special way to suppress my strength, which happened to deceive the banishment at the gate here, hence I managed to sneak in…”

On hearing this, not only did the crowd not relax their guard, but their gaze towards him became even more wary.

After all, a person able to deceive a divine ban and sneak in, no matter how you look at it, wasn’t ordinary.

Knowing that during the time when the eighteen kings were alive, they didn’t allow other God Spirits to enter, didn’t it mean this chubby Taoist’s methods were even more cunning than theirs?

“Who among you knows him?”

Someone couldn’t help but ask.

Upon hearing this, Du Gang quickly asked: “Do any of you from the Penglai Island recognize this person?!”

He also felt that Duan Youde was very strange, not like an ordinary person, and suspected he was from the Primordial Continent.

“No. The Penglai Island doesn’t have any family with the surname Duan unless he’s a loose cultivator…”

“A loose cultivator?”

Du Gang looked surprised, “There are loose cultivators on the Penglai Island?!”

“Yes. Some people who don’t want to join a family, or have left their families, live independently on the outer islands of the Penglai…”

“No, he’s probably not a loose cultivator!”

Someone spoke up, “Judging by his appearance, he may not be from Penglai Island…”

At that moment, Duan Youde sneered, “Such a place as Penglai Island, I wouldn’t even fancy going…”

Seeing everyone looking at him, he laughed out loud, “I am from the Primordial Continent, this time, mainly here to see the Ancient God…”

“What?!”

All people were shocked, staring at him!

Unexpectedly, he truly admitted it!

Doesn’t this mean…. he really is a god spirit?!

Otherwise, how could he have left the ‘eggshell’?!

The ‘eggshell’ possesses a particularly powerful force, anyone who tries to pass through, if not possessing a God Spirit level power, would basically be annihilated.

Du Gang also frowned, if this fellow did not come to become a god, then why did he come?!

Could it be…

His pupils suddenly contracted.

This guy, couldn’t be planning to dig up the grave of Pangu Supreme, could he?!

If Pangu Supreme had a grave…

Damn it!

Du Gang immediately glared at Duan Youde with ill-intent.

Pangu Supreme, although lived over ten billion years ago, was, strictly speaking, his ancestor in a sense.

Wouldn’t Duan Youde digging up the grave of Pangu Supreme be the equivalent of digging up his family’s ancestral grave?

Moreover, he suspected that Duan Youde might also have some ideas about his own weapon.

This guy, must be killed when the opportunity arises!

Du Gang quietly decided, when the time comes for any independent actions, he will get rid of Duan Youde.

And indeed, he guessed correctly.

At that moment, Duan Youde was muttering to himself while walking, calculating the location of Pangu Supreme’s grave.

He knows quite a lot, understands that Pangu Continent is merely the physical body of Pangu Supreme, but the tomb of the God who died was hidden deep.

So, he came here planning to rob Pangu Supreme’s grave as well.

After all, this was his bread and butter.

Of course, he still keeps a smile on his face, “Of course, I’ll also take some treasures along the way…”

Thus, everyone continued internally harboring their divergent thoughts, incessantly moving forward.

Finally, after covering three fourths of the distance, the crowd around them doubled in size. Everyone could finally see the pattern on the Pangu Axe.

“It’s so beautiful!”

“So mysterious, is this the Pangu Axe?”

Many people were deeply impressed, just staring from a distance was breathtaking, mesmerizing their hearts and minds.

“This Pangu Axe should be sealed, otherwise, its power alone could kill us all in a second!”

“Not only that, my father once told me, for these supreme divine artifacts, the power that seeps out alone, could destroy True Gods or even the Great Powers!”

“And if it’s controlled by someone, it’s even possible to defy the heavens and kill immortals!”

“Hiss!”

Upon hearing this, everyone sucked in a breath of cold air.

Defying the heavens and killing immortals!

It’s not a joke, the farther you go, the harder it is to defy the heavens and kill immortals.

Looking at this supreme divine artifact, everyone was mesmerized, but there was no greed, because they knew, this was not their possession.

“A supreme artifact, reportedly to hold and unleash all its power, requires at least the strength of a sage…”

“Even under a king, no one can handle a supreme divine artifact, even the Great Powers, dare to touch a supreme divine artifact, could possibly end up with no place for burial!”

About this, everyone already knew, and had heard some.

The so-called opportunities must actually be something one can bear.

Some opportunities, which are obviously something you can’t bear, are not called opportunities, they’re called disasters!

As the members of large families, it’s basically taught since childhood.

Act according to your capabilities, it’s the survival rule taught by their elders!

Nevertheless, seeing the inscription engraved on the Pangu Sky-Opening Axe, everyone was excited and quickened their pace.

After a little while, they reached the final distance, but the people who arrived first were stuck in front as if facing an invisible wall, unable to move forward.

Before their eyes stood a very large platform, sprinkled with seats atop it.

“Those seats could very well be the God’s Mechanism. I heard from the people in the temple, there were nine stone platforms back then. All who made it onto the platforms became gods…”

“Back then, the nine prodigies, outsmarting all, traded with Du Gang first. When the platforms open, the nine of them were sucked right in…”

“Therefore, this time, to take a seat may also need to involve Du Gang…”

“Is it finally here?!”

Somebody was incredibly excited, “This time, I brought a lot of money, just in case this situation occurred!”

“Du Gang, brace yourself, the price I’m offering will certainly satisfy you!”

Now, people in front of him started to call out Du Gang’s name one after another.

But at this moment, Du Gang was not paying attention to the crowd. He frowned, looking towards Duan Youde in the distance.

He saw Duan Youde standing at the end position, starting to pull out a bunch of random things.

In them was a rope, made of some unknown material, that really caught the eye.

It looked like Duan Youde was a bungee jumper, tying one end of the ropes to the iron chain and the other end to his ankle.

“What are you doing?!”

Du Gang roared out loud.

Suddenly, everyone turned their heads, looking towards Duan Youde’s direction.

Their faces filled with surprise, “What is he doing?! ”

Could it be that he wants to go down?”

Many people were filled with curiosity, “Jumping off from this rope, won’t he be eliminated? What is he doing?!!”

Duan Youde laughed heartily, saying: “Don’t mind me, I’m just going after some treasures. The God’s Mechanism isn’t below!”

After that, he made faces at Du Gang, then without hesitation, he jumped straight down.

“Damn it!”

Du Gang saw what happened, his eyes turned red. He aimed at Duan Youde’s position, lunged, and jumped right off.

Even though he had no idea what Duan Youde was planning, knowing this man’s nature, he was always one for profit. It was certainly a conspiracy, most likely with the intention of stealing something that should belong to him.

“Stop, where do you think you’re going?!”

Du Gang roared in anger, his body darted up swiftly in mid-air, grabbing onto the swinging rope tied around Duan Youde’s ankle, swiftly sliding down afterwards.

“Holy shit!”

Everyone watched in amazement as these two jumped off the iron chain in the blink of an eye.

“Where are they going?”

“I don’t know!”

“What do we do now?”

“I don’t know!”

Everyone was gobsmacked, “Quickly see if we can get onto that platform!”

At this moment, those who had already reached the end heard this and moved quickly forward, alas, the previously existing air wall still stood.

“It’s no use!”

“Damn it, Du Gang jumped off, what do we do now?”

At this time, everyone was in grave urgency.

What happened to the deal where after stepping on the platform, we give you money, and you provide us the opportunity?

Where did everybody go?!!

Long Aotian had a furrowed brow, a certain urge bubbling in his heart.

Should he follow them down?!

He glanced at the situation at the end, then finally made his decision.

Follow them down!

Even if he stayed above, he couldn’t get in. It would be better to take advantage of the rope still being there and slide down.

Thinking this, he quickly adjusted his position, lunged forcefully, and pounced towards the rope.

“Snap!”

Without any strenuous effort, he successfully grabbed the rope and began sliding down.

“What…”

All the people on site were taken aback.

“Isn’t he afraid that he’ll be eliminated if he goes down?!”

Some people were worried, afraid of being eliminated if they went down.

At this time, Yu Shuiyao also adjusted her position and quickly jumped down.

Yao Zijie, however, was reminded of the words his sister told him before he left.

“Zijie, Du Gang is a man of great fortune, he is the person destined to overcome the calamity. You can only have the chance to advance to eternity if you stick closely to him and stay alert.”

Thinking of this, he hesitated no more and quickly followed suit.

Seeing these outstandingly talented individuals jumping down one after another, the others were greatly moved.

“Should we go down or not?!”

However, many people were extremely nervous, fearing they would be eliminated.

“Damn it, no risk, no reward!”

A young man not far from Duan Youde’s rope shouted angrily, leaped forward, and quickly bounded onto Duan Youde’s rope, sliding down.

Possibly influenced by his emotions, others followed suit and jumped down one after another.

However, the ropes not far from Duan Youde weren’t numerous, barely more than twenty in total.

Basically, everyone on these twenty or so ropes went down.

At this moment, a young man on a rope more than twenty ropes away jumped down.

But to his surprise, he didn’t have enough strength, or the distance was too far. He didn’t grab the distant rope and fell down due to gravity.

“Ah!”

Accompanied by this scream, everyone understood that this person must have been eliminated!

Suddenly, those who were far away had their intentions checked.

There’s no way, the distance is too far!

Du Gang slid down alongside Duan Youde, forgetting why he came here and only focusing on Duan Youde.

Soon, they both slid into another space, where a huge palace hung underneath.

“What is this?!”

Du Gang was stunned, he didn’t expect that underneath, there would be a palace!

Duan Youde was at the very bottom, aware earlier that quite a few people had followed him down. He sneered, “I specialize in tomb raiding…”

“To be honest, there is a certain suppression in your universe. Powerful beings above the king level, unless they stay in a special palace, would suffer some damage if they show up…”

“So, I conclude that the Supreme Pangu must have had a temporary sheltering palace. Although it might not be his usual residence, it certainly was his last palace!”

Hearing this, Du Gang’s expression turned serious.

“Is this the last palace where the Supreme Pangu lived?!”

He asked with a frown, “What’s inside?!”

Duan Youde shrugged and said with a smile, “I don’t know, we have to go in and find out!”

Just then, “whoosh!” “whoosh!” “whoosh!”—a series of breaking air sounds came.

The others who had jumped down together all descended, landing one after another in front of the palace.

Long Aotian and the others couldn’t help but rejoice. They were glad that they had followed. Otherwise, they would surely have missed this opportunity!

Although they didn’t know what the palace was, in such a place, it must hold benefits!

“Du Gang, as a descendant of the Ancient God, you should try and see if you can push the door open!”

Duan Youde quickly spoke.

Having arrived at such a place, Du Gang had no choice but to go and check out, no matter what was inside. So, he approached the palace gate and slowly pushed it open.

The palace gate was swiftly pushed open as if it wasn’t locked at all.

However, he didn’t enter. In the moment the door opened, he stepped back, guarding against any danger.

“Whirling sounds!”

Just then, radiant pearls and jades were suddenly emitted from within.

“Is that… a divine artifact?!”

“Such strong fluctuation, this artifact is not simple. My goodness, there are so many treasures inside!”

All present were extremely excited. Some even couldn’t restrain themselves, crossed over others and quickly rushed in.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

Who knew that a moment after a few people entered, intense vibrations occurred.

The few people who had just entered were instantly shattered and their remains scattered in the wind.

“Damn!”

Duan Youde’s face changed, saying, “I just knew there was something unusual in there!”

Du Gang frowned and asked, “What do you mean, are there traps left by Pangu Supreme inside?”

The others also woke up, all stopping in their tracks and looking at Duan Youde. Obviously, in such a place, only he would know something.

Duan Youde shook his head and said, “Pangu Supreme couldn’t have set traps, but this palace has existed for tens of billions of years. This time is long enough to breed some terrifying entities!”

“Terrifying entities?”

Du Gang frowned, “What do you mean?!”

Duan Youde darkly said, “There might be ghosts inside…”

“What?”

Everyone was suddenly scared and stepped back.

This thing, even these cultivators, are still terrified, carrying horrifying legends.

However, after saying this, Duan Youde stepped forward as if seeking death.

“What?”

Everyone was shocked, no one dared to follow. Because not long ago, a few people went in and mysteriously died.

Yet Du Gang frowned. He didn’t believe Duan Youde sought death, would such a shameless guy actively seek death?

With that thought, he didn’t hesitate and followed right after.

However, he kept a distance of one meter, as a precaution.

Long Aotian, however, steadfastly followed behind Du Gang.

On this return trip, he’d been lectured by his father: he should stick with Du Gang, which would facilitate chances of luck.

Therefore, as long as Du Gang dared to go, he would dare to go too, at worst they would die together!

Yu Shuiyao and Yao Zijie looked at each other, both seeing something in each other’s eyes. They shared an unspeakable understanding, then followed along too.

Only about ten people remained outside, looking at each other in dismay, unsure of what to do.

“What should we do? Should we follow?”

Everyone hesitated for a moment. Finally, one person moved. He tried to walk up to the doorstep, took two steps forward, saw no danger, and immediately followed.

Seeing this, the others quickly caught up.

In this way, a group of people, at a certain distance, kept moving forward.

The palace looked quite large. Looking up, you could even see the stars. Although everyone knew it was an illusion, it still failed to remove the admiration they felt for this place.

After all, this was the last place where Pangu Supreme stayed when he was alive.

“Perhaps, Pangu Supreme thought through the result here, and finally created our universe!”

“Really?”

“Very likely, after all, he was also a human, and all humans fear death. If they were not forced to, who would want to sacrifice their own life?!”

These words, coming from Duan Youde, seemed somewhat credible to everyone.

Although he was quite vile, he was also mysterious enough and clearly knew a lot of things.

If it were not for some shocking inheritance, he must have been born into a powerful family.

Du Gang looked around at everything that was empty, frowning, “Where’s the treasure?”

Duan Youde laughed, “How would I know? I am not Pangu, but keep walking, we will eventually come across it!”

Soon after they had walked some distance, a sumptuously decorated palace once again appeared in front of everyone.

“How is this possible, there’s another palace within the palace?”

“So, how did we come over this journey?”

Du Gang and the others were shockingly surprised.

Duan Youde, however, laughed and said, “This is normal. The outside palace is a large space, this palace might be where Pangu Supreme rested!”

Suddenly, everyone noticed that a few corpses were laid at the entrance of this palace.

“What is that?!”

“Could it be that someone had been here before?!”

Everyone was utterly shocked.

Duan Youde promptly took a few steps forward, looked at the corpses on the ground, and said with a frown, “Damn, someone actually managed to arrive before us!”

“Looking at these corpses, it seems like they’re from a billion years ago…”

“A billion years ago, could it be…”

Everyone was taken aback, but they quickly reacted.

“Wasn’t the era of the Ancient Holy Body a hundred billion years ago?”

“They say that era was also a vividly colorful time…”

“Could it be that someone from that era entered the palace of Pangu Supreme?!”

At this moment, Duan Youde did something that made everyone feel disgusted. He slowly squatted down, dipped his finger into his tongue to wet it, then felt the corpse’s bones with it. After that, he put it back into his mouth, as if he was tasting it.

“Eww”

Everyone was repulsed.

However, Duan Youde laughed and said, “The body doesn’t lie. This thing has indeed been around for a hundred billion years. Moreover, its strength was just right at the Sector Lord Level…”

“Also, signifying that these people could die here, enter the outer palace, means that at the time, there was also an Ancient God leading the way!”

“What?!”

Du Gang was utterly surprised and quickly asked, “How can you be sure that there was an Ancient God here? I just pushed the door and it was very light, with no resistance at all?!”

Duan Youde sneered, “Rest assured, when I say there was an Ancient God, there must have been an Ancient God!”

Next, he started feeling the bodies.

After a while, he actually managed to find a small piece of jade from one of them.

“What kind of jade can withstand a billion years?!”

Everyone was amazed and curiously asked a question.

Duan Youde laughed and said, “This thing is a great treasure, and it is… cough, I don’t know!”

Seeing his behavior, everyone knew that he didn’t want to reveal it.

No one insisted on asking him.

However, Du Gang took a step forward and began to touch the bodies, following Duan Youde’s lead.

Witnessing this, everyone was speechless. The two of them behaved similarly, lacking propriety. They showed no respect for the dead!

“Haha!”

Duan Youde laughed, “Relax, the corpses I’ve touched are spick-and-span…”

Before he finished his sentence, Du Gang pulled out an amulet from one person’s neck.

“Hmm? What did you say?!”

Duan Youde’s smile froze, and his mouth twitched.

“Slap, slap, slap!”

He looked half mad as he started slapping himself in the face.

“The treasure was within my grasp…”

“The treasure was within my grasp…”

“I let that treasure slip away!”

With each sentence, he slapped himself, leaving everyone speechless.

It was too harsh, slapping his own face, as though he was hitting someone else.

However, Du Gang coldly smirked, “It’s not your face, what’s the use of hitting it?”

He had observed carefully. Duan Youde’s face still wasn’t his own, but one he borrowed when escaping earlier.

“What?!”

Everyone was stunned, not understanding his point. They all scrutinized Duan Youde, speculating about his situation.

Duan Youde just smirked and said, “Whose face it is doesn’t matter, as long as I learn my lesson…”

Everyone didn’t understand, but Du Gang did.

He had seen Duan Youde’s face switch to someone else’s with his own eyes.

Hearing this, he frowned.

Could it be, the borrowed face had its own consciousness?

Can it communicate with him?

Remembering this, Du Gang realized that Duan Youde’s slap indeed looked like he was scolding someone.

Suddenly, a sense of uneasiness crept over him.

Duan Youde, on the other hand, didn’t care much. Instead, he quickly moved to the entrance of the main hall and began to survey it.

Soon, he stopped at a pattern on the entrance of the hall.

“Du Gang, come here!”

Du Gang walked over and asked, “What is it?”

Duan Youde pointed at the pattern in front of him, laughing: “Put your hand on it…”

Du Gang was alert, “What are you trying to do!?”

Duan Youde laughed: “Don’t worry, I’m not going to harm you. This is the mechanism to open the door to the temple, and only you can unlock it…”

After hearing this, Du Gang shook his head and said: “You want me to open it for you? Dream on! Once you’re gone, I’ll open it myself!”

Duan Youde was very calm and laughed: “You’re overthinking. Without my knowledge, you won’t go far on your path ahead!”

“What threat could be in there…”

Duan Youde laughed: “Dangers? Inside, it’s teeming with horror. Don’t believe me? Just you wait!”

After hearing this, Du Gang hesitated. He thought for a while and felt that Duan Youde was not trying to frame him. Moreover, he was strapped for time. If this place were to close, he might not be able to enter again in the future.

With that in mind, he didn’t hesitate any longer and swiftly placed his hand on it.

Immediately, the previously tightly sealed door, as if equipped with automatic intelligence, slowly opened up.

“Boom!”

At that moment, a gust of wind suddenly rushed over.

Du Gang instinctively swung his hand, “Bang!”

What he did not expect was that the black object in front of him was actually sent flying by his blow.

“What’s going on?”

He was merely a mortal now with his power sealed, yet the monster that suddenly attacked him at least had the ability to fly, indicating its significant force. Shockingly, he was able to flick it away with an instinctive punch.

“Truly!”

Then, Duan Youde chuckled, saying: “You bear the bloodline of the Ancient God, the equivalent of Supreme Pangu’s bloodline. Basically, nothing here can hurt you!”

Next, to Du Gang’s surprise, as he took a step into the temple, the once pitch-black temple suddenly lit up.

“Cackle cackle cackle!” Immediately, a group of dark creatures, fluttering their wings, flew disorderly in all directions.

However, although these beings were blinded by the sudden brightness, they still did not approach Du Gang.

It was as if Du Gang was surrounded by some sort of protective shield, preventing them from getting close.

Seeing this, others quickly followed close to Du Gang.

However, these dark creatures, in their flight and shrieks, one by one, gradually turned into ashes, as if incinerated.

Seeing this bizarre spectacle, everyone stopped lingering and pressed forward quickly.

Within a while, everyone reached a divine platform.

On the divine platform, streams of splendid light flicker, and on top of it, lies an ancient scroll made of unknown animal hide.

“What’s that?!”

Everyone was curious and did not dare to act rashly, so they asked Duan Youde.

Duan Youde seemed very excited, “This is… This is a top-level technique, a supreme technique?!!”

“What?”

Du Gang was shocked when suddenly a gust of wind blew, and he instinctively dodged. However, a human silhouette passed by him.

“What are you doing?!”

Everyone roared.

That silhouette did not slow down. With excitement, he grabbed the scroll on the divine platform.

“Boom!”

To everyone’s astonishment, as soon as the silhouette touched the scroll, it immediately burst into flames. Within a second, it was turned into ashes.

“Ah!”

Everyone present was taken aback.

“One of the nine secrets!”

Duan Youde was extremely excited, nearly throwing himself to grab it.

Fortunately, he cherished his own life and stopped midway each time he reached out.

Seeing this, Du Gang was somewhat regretful that the fatty didn’t act rashly and die.

However, when he saw that Duan Youde was not going to die, he couldn’t be bothered to think about it and directly asked: “What’s the nine secrets?”

“Nine secrets, are respectively Draw up a formation before engaging in battle…”

Duan Youde, who seldom kept things to himself concerning this, enthusiastically explained: “The Nine Secrets, they are the top-level techniques created by the earliest nine Supremes…”

“Such a technique may be even stronger than the Heavenly Level Cultivation Method. It represents an extreme path!”

“Stronger than the Heavenly Level Technique?!”

Du Gang was astounded.

“Exactly!”

Duan Youde exclaimed excitedly, “Each of the Nine Mysteries possesses an invincible effect that could give a person the chance to slay a god against the course of nature!”

“What?”

The crowd was astonished.

Duan Youde nodded, “Yes, even if a person who masters one of the Nine Mysteries is still at the God Spirit Level, they have a chance to slay gods.”

“This…”

All of the more than ten people present were astounded, for they had never heard of such a thing.

Even Long Aotian, Yu Shuiyao, Yao Zijie, and others wore surprised expressions, evidently hearing about this for the first time.

“Why have I never heard of this?!”

Long Aotian voiced the question foremost on his mind.

Duan Youde scoffed, “What level do you all even stand at? Don’t even mention you, but some things, even your elders behind the scenes may not necessarily qualify to know…”

“You…”

At this remark, Long Aotian was lost for words. If he hadn’t been reduced to a mortal at this moment, he would have made his move already.

But Duan Youde paid no mind to Long Aotian and instead lamented, “What a pity, I guess this thing is not intended for outsiders…”

His gaze fixed on Du Gang brimmed with envy as he said, “Kid, this time, it’s probably yours again!”

“Mine?”

Du Gang hesitated. The guy who had just died was still fresh in his memory, and he felt uneasy, unsure if he should take it.

Duan Youde firmly nodded, “Yes, it’s definitely yours. It must have been left behind for you by Pangu Supreme, alas…”

Seeing his resigned attitude, Du Gang became somewhat suspicious.

Could this guy be genuinely kind-hearted?!

However, he cast his worries aside and took a couple of steps forward, preparing to try and see if he could pick it up.

One of the Nine Mysteries!

The strongest technique created by the earliest nine Supreme beings in legends!

Overflowing with curiosity, Du Gang soon arrived at the front and grabbed the animal skin scroll placed on the divine platform.

“Whoosh!”

Just then, Duan Youde, who had previously been some distance from Du Gang, suddenly lunged forward. Like a hungry tiger lunging at its prey, he tried to snatch the animal skin scroll from Du Gang’s hand.

“Seeking death!”

Du Gang roared in anger, at the same time lifting his fist to strike.

However, Duan Youde seemed to have gone mad, disregarding the incoming fist and continuing to reach towards the scroll in his hand.

“Bang!”

Du Gang’s fist landed solidly, but unfortunately, it didn’t inflict much damage.

After all, although their powers were suppressed, their physical defenses were still intact. The punch didn’t pose a threat.

And Duan Youde successfully touched the Nine Mysteries.

“Ah!”

Just as his face lit up with joy, it suddenly changed, and he cried out in pain.

His body instantly ignited in flames, and shortly after, Duan Youde was rolling on the ground.

The others quickly stepped back in fright, fearing that they would be accidentally injured by the blaze engulfing him.

“Pangu… I didn’t expect… even after you’ve… died… you still want to harm me…”

Duan Youde muttered incoherently, rolling on the ground non-stop.

What was shocking was that, while the previous person had quickly turned to ashes in the flames, Duan Youde, despite being continuously consumed by the flames, showed no sign of being burnt to death.

From this, one could infer that his physical strength was extraordinarily mighty!

Ps: This time, Orange Cat is prepared to go all out. If Hawk writes three tens of thousands daily, I’ll write three tens of thousands plus five hundred daily, resolved to take first place in the Combat Power Ranking for January.
