Xu Nian reflects on the Origin Energy and the Origin Key, realizing the Desolate Sky Battle Field is a vast chess game. He decides to bring his avatars here later to increase their strength and search for his companions. Meanwhile, Cold Crow reveals his scheme to use the Origin Key to lure the Alliance of Ten Thousand Races into a trap, intending to have his clan's experts seize it and eliminate their enemies.

"Boom!"

The third energy storm quickly swept in.

This time, it was even more intense than the last, and the origin energy contained in the energy storm was much more abundant.

It was even more potent than the previous two combined.

Xu Nian naturally wouldn’t miss this chance, and frantically absorbed a massive amount of origin energy.

His origin space kept expanding, filled with dense origin energy, gray and very rich.

"This origin energy seems somewhat similar to the birth of my new world," Xu Nian thought in surprise.

In this light, this origin energy is also the foundational energy that constructs this world.

No wonder it can enhance one’s insight and deepen understanding of the Ten Thousand Dao.

As Xu Nian absorbed the origin energy, he also deduced the Ten Thousand Dao.

And the origin energy was like a guide, leading Xu Nian in the right direction.

As the origin energy grew thicker, Xu Nian’s mind became clearer, and his understanding of the Ten Thousand Dao became more distinct.

If feeling the Ten Thousand Dao in the past was like searching for a pearl in a vast sea, difficult to find,

then now it’s as if the pearl emits a heavenly beam, connecting heaven and earth, naturally easy to locate.

Through absorbing the origin energy, Xu Nian was in greater harmony with the world.

"Boom!"

The origin energy space shook slightly.

A new mark appeared on Xu Nian’s forehead.

The sixth level!

It was faster than the Wind Attribute Avatar’s insight; the avatar was now also at the sixth level of the Ten Thousand Dao.

It wouldn’t be long before he surpassed the Wind Attribute Avatar.

As his understanding of the Ten Thousand Dao deepened, Xu Nian’s control over power became even more formidable.

The power of the Geng Metal Sword Technique he could now wield was much stronger.

"Continue!"

The energy storm hadn’t stopped, and Xu Nian continued to absorb and gain insights into the Ten Thousand Dao.

As time passed, Xu Nian’s comprehension of the sixth level of the Ten Thousand Dao deepened, reaching the peak of the sixth level but remaining halted at that peak.

The origin energy gradually dissipated, and the third energy storm was over.

"Everyone be careful, the Origin Fruit is about to mature, and soon it will emit fragrance. These people will probably rush into the mines," Xuan Ye reminded everyone.

The Origin Fruit?

Xu Nian’s eyes also flashed with a hint of anticipation.

If he could obtain the Origin Fruit, perhaps his origin space could expand further, allowing his insight into the Ten Thousand Dao to break through to the eighth or even ninth level?

If this were the case, he naturally had to vie for the Origin Fruit.

"Uncle Master, we won’t participate in the fight for the Origin Order Fruit this time. Our Senior Brother and Second Senior Sister haven’t arrived yet, possibly detained by some affair, and we simply lack the strength to fight for it. Even if we got it by chance, it would be seeking death," Zhang Tao said to Xu Nian.

The other disciples of the Yetian Sect also nodded.

They hadn’t entered the threshold of the Original Realm; obtaining it would be a death sentence.

Xu Nian nodded: "I’ll just try, not necessarily succeed. It’s best if you don’t vie for it."

Zhang Tao was right; it would indeed be like seeking death if these people fought for it.

While he had some means to protect himself, there was still the risk of falling.

"I wish you success in securing the Origin Fruit, Uncle Master," Zhang Tao cupped his hands.

Xu Nian nodded, saying no more.

"I won’t compete either," the Vajra God King said.

His strength was only at the eighth level of the Ten Thousand Dao, not having broken through to the ninth level, so he wouldn’t stand a chance either.

Xuan Ye naturally wouldn’t give up.

"Alright, then I’ll go with the Xuan Ye God King," Xu Nian said.

Xuan Ye nodded, having gained significantly this time, being just a tiny step away from the Origin Talisman.

She could condense the Origin Talisman anytime she wanted, but it would only be a mid-level Origin Talisman, which she was reluctant about, preferring to attempt a high-level one.

Xu Nian could see Xuan Ye’s thoughts.

In fact, regarding Xuan Ye, Xu Nian still found her somewhat mysterious.

She held a significant position in the Fighting God Hall, and her talent was exceptionally strong, stronger than the average genius.

Among the people he’d encountered, few could compare to her.

"Jinfeng God King, you and I should stay together, don’t separate lightly. This is an invisible origin thread that prevents us from getting lost. Rest assured, no one but us can see it," Xuan Ye waved her hand, entwining an invisible thread around his and Xuan Ye’s wrists.

This thread was visible only to him and Xuan Ye.

The mine was complex, with many passages, making it easy to get lost.

Through this thread, they could quickly find each other.

Xu Nian was also surprised by Xuan Ye’s methods, but this was good. Many Original Realm experts were here, so it wasn’t easy to secure benefits; teaming up with Xuan Ye was the wisest choice.

At this moment, an incredibly rich fragrance wafted over.

Xu Nian inhaled a little of the scent, and the next moment, his origin space expanded significantly.

"How terrifying, just a wisp of fragrance, and my origin space expanded so much. So what about the Origin Fruit?" Xu Nian thought, horrified.

Xuan Ye also showed surprise on her face.

It was evident she had felt the terror of the Origin Order Fruit for the first time.

"Charge!"

All the surrounding Divine Kings went mad.

Even some Divine Kings who hadn’t intended to vie for the Origin Fruit rushed toward the mine entrances with frenzy.

Xu Nian glanced at Zhang Tao and the others, noticing their agitation, and frowned slightly.

Earlier, he wondered why so many had died.

By abstaining from the fight, it shouldn’t have led to so many Divine Kings falling.

Now, it seemed he was wrong; the power of the Origin Fruit was too terrifying, hard for many to resist its temptation.

Two disciples from the Yetian Sect couldn’t resist, a trace of madness flashing in their eyes as they rushed into the mines.

The other four’s expressions changed immediately, hesitating.

"Stick to your convictions!" Xu Nian called out immediately.

At his words, the four seemed to regain some clarity, hastily reinforcing their resolve.

Meanwhile, the Vajra God King had already dashed into the mines.

Soon, almost everyone in the massive mine pit had left.

Out of more than three hundred Divine Kings, only about twenty remained.

"What a terrifying allure," Xu Nian remarked with genuine awe.

"It’s truly terrifying. All these people seek strength, and the Origin Order Fruit and the Origin Key are fast ways to enhance insight cultivation. They won’t give up easily; let’s leave too," Xuan Ye said coldly.

Xu Nian nodded, somewhat amazed at Xuan Ye’s composure.

Her determination was much stronger than he had imagined.

"Let’s go!"

Xu Nian shouted, then charged into the mines with Xuan Ye.

"Ah!"

At that moment, a shrill scream echoed from deep within the distant mine.

Clearly, someone had already died!

Xu Nian furrowed his brow, wondering if the fighting had already started.

Xuan Ye’s expression turned vigilant, God King Power circulating within her, enveloping her entire body.

Xu Nian didn’t act, but secretly activated the Demon-Subduing Pestle.
