King of Creation Chapter 1822 - 1807: Heavenly Dao’s Retribution

Ye Zhen never expected that despite being extremely careful and cautious, he was still deceived by Wang Baimu.

Clearly, Wang Baimu brought Ye Zhen here as part of a setup, a pre-planned trap.

Even Wang Baimu accepting this bounty was a conspiracy from beginning to end.

Ye Zhen just hadn’t figured out what exactly it was that led these three powerful Dao Realm experts to go to such lengths to set up an ambush for him here.

Faced with Ye Zhen’s questioning, Wang Baimu outright denied it.

"Who said I tricked you?"

"I took your bounty to find the location of the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Objects that could replenish origin power for you. I found the entrance to the passage, definitely genuine!"

Wang Baimu smiled and pointed to the magma whirlpool at the center of the Magma Sea, then shrugged, pointing at the suddenly appearing three Dao Realm experts, "As for these three, they’re part of another job I took. Your bounty didn’t specify I couldn’t bring other people, right?"

"I’m someone who maintains credibility in my affairs."

Wang Baimu proudly boasted, holding up the storage ring he just snatched, and blew it with satisfaction, "Ladies and gentlemen, I’ve met your requirements too. I’ve brought you the real target of this bounty.

Now it’s time for you to pay up.

Well, fifty Spirit Void Fruits, you’re welcome!"

As he said this, a hint of ecstasy appeared in Wang Baimu’s eyes, as these two deals completed today were of great significance to him.

An angry Ye Zhen felt a stir in his heart and casually asked, "Why, are you desperately in need of Spirit Void Fruits?"

"Of course, with a large amount of Spirit Void Fruits, I might be able to break through my current bottleneck in a short time and fully enter the Dao Realm rather than being stuck in the Half-step Dao Realm."

At this point, Wang Baimu chuckled and said to Ye Zhen, "Naturally, if you want to leave any last messages or requests for me to pass on, just provide a certain amount of Spirit Void Fruits now, and I promise with my integrity that I’ll fulfill your last wishes."

"Your integrity?" Ye Zhen sneered.

Wang Baimu nodded his head vigorously like a pecking chicken, "Of course, my integrity is beyond words, practically perfect, a promise of gold, anything agreed upon will definitely be fulfilled."

Ye Zhen’s expression turned colder, a hint of sarcasm in his eyes, "Given your flawless integrity, I specially prepared a gift for you. I’m sure you’ll like it."

"A gift? If it’s Spirit Void Fruits, I’d definitely enjoy it," Wang Baimu teased.

"It is indeed related to Spirit Void Fruits."

Ye Zhen’s confirmation made Wang Baimu’s eyes show a trace of alertness; he’s not foolish, Ye Zhen already fell into his trap, how could he prepare Spirit Void Fruits for him?

Just when Wang Baimu subconsciously tightened his palm around the thirty Spirit Void Fruits promised by Ye Zhen as a reward, an imperceptible Divine Sense fluctuation flashed by.

Boom!

A Heavenly Thunder Spirit Fire suddenly erupted from Wang Baimu’s tightly clenched storage ring.

In an instant, the storage ring Wang Baimu had just obtained exploded violently.

There are two types of storage rings: one purely dependent on the Grandmaster Artifact Refiner’s mastery in spatial formation, crafted using several Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to support spatial characteristics.

The space in these storage rings is generally very small.

The other type contains Void Profound Dark Gold, and these storage rings have a much larger storage space.

But regardless of the type, once the storage ring itself is blasted apart from outside, the storage space within the storage ring will collapse instantly.

When the storage space collapses, everything inside the storage ring will vanish in an instant.

Wang Baimu’s mood, along with this burst of Heavenly Thunder Spirit Fire, dropped from heaven to earth, or more precisely, straight to hell.

Wang Baimu watched helplessly as the thirty invaluable Spirit Void Fruits inside the storage ring were shattered by the collapsing storage space, pulverized into oblivion.

"You!"

Wang Baimu’s eyes instantly turned blood-red, overwhelming killing intent locking onto Ye Zhen.

"You dare play tricks on me and destroy my Spirit Void Fruits? You’re doomed, kid, no matter what, you’re dead today." Wang Baimu’s chest heaved violently as he roared at Ye Zhen.

In response, Ye Zhen taunted Wang Baimu with a derisive bow, "Courtesy demands reciprocation!"

"I left a little surprise on that storage ring, but if you’d taken the bounty and left honestly, without scheming against me, I wouldn’t have activated it.

Now, all I can say is, you—deserved it! Hahahahaha!"

Ye Zhen laughed heartily, unafraid of being targeted by the three Dao Realm experts’ powerful auras.

Wang Baimu was about to explode with rage.

The Spirit Void Fruit’s price is rising daily, and it’s now a rare market item. As its circulation continues to tighten, nearly everyone at the Martial Capital understands that Spirit Void Fruits are hard to acquire.

Those who have it hesitate to sell, those without it seize every chance to buy it for future needs.

This has driven the price of Spirit Void Fruits to forty thousand High Grade Spiritual Stones each, and the rate continues to climb, with significant increases.

Thirty Spirit Void Fruits amount to over twelve hundred thousand High Grade Spiritual Stones, a sum that would take a lifetime of risking life and limb to earn.

The real problem now is that Spirit Void Fruits aren’t something you can buy just because you have the money.

Otherwise, why did he spend nearly two years risking his life exploring this forbidden area?

It was all for the thirty Spirit Void Fruits offered as a reward.

The hateful thing is, just as he got them, they were destroyed.

In an instant, Wang Baimu’s hatred for Ye Zhen reached its peak. Seeing Ye Zhen’s smug smile, Wang Baimu immediately exploded with rage.

"I’ll make you laugh! I’ll slaughter you first and see how you’ll still be laughing!"

Consumed by anger, Spirit Light burst all around Wang Baimu as he moved like light smoke towards Ye Zhen, ready to attack.

But at that moment, one of the three Dao Realm Experts who had been locking onto Ye Zhen with his aura opened a golden vertical eye on his forehead.

As the golden vertical eye moved, a beam of golden light split forth, slicing the space in front of Wang Baimu right by the tip of his nose into two.

An endless force of tearing came, trying to swallow Wang Baimu into the spatial rift, causing him to scream in terror, punching continuously to stir up the wind, slowing down the pull of the rift.

Luckily, the spatial barriers of the Primordial Continent were incomparably strong, and the rift quickly closed up, sparing Wang Baimu’s life.

As Wang Baimu stopped in front of the closed rift, his forehead was already drenched in cold sweat.

At the same moment, Wang Baimu glared angrily at the Dao Realm Expert who attacked him and shouted, "What was the meaning of your actions?"

"This person in front of you is our target. His life and death are ours to decide and have nothing to do with you."

"You..."

Wang Baimu was infuriated, but as soon as the auras of the three Dao Realm Experts moved slightly, he backed down.

"Alright, I accept it! His life and death are indeed up to you, but I’ve fulfilled my part of the agreement. Now hand over the fifty Spirit Void Fruits to complete our deal," Wang Baimu urged.

Upon hearing this, the eyes of the three Dao Realm Experts all shifted, and one laughed coldly, "We wanted the person behind him.

You only brought him, and let us be seen too early, disrupting our plans. Do you still want the Spirit Void Fruits?"

These words left Wang Baimu dumbfounded.

The thirty Spirit Void Fruits on Ye Zhen’s side were destroyed, and now these guys wanted to renege, letting the fifty Spirit Void Fruits here slip away too.

Wang Baimu was so angry he nearly coughed up blood.

Though he knew reasoning with a group of Dao Realm Experts was pointless, he still wanted to try.

After all, it was two years!

Two years of countless life-and-death experiences and a consumption of many Pills and Spirit Talismans, collecting numerous clues just to finish the task for Ye Zhen’s reward.

He had thought to make a big profit from both sides, but ended up with nothing.

Wang Baimu could not accept such an outcome.

"I say, you all can’t just ignore your agreements, right?"

"Initially, we agreed I would only need to bring someone who could produce thirty Spirit Void Fruits. He did present thirty Spirit Void Fruits," Wang Baimu argued.

"He showed thirty Spirit Void Fruits, but who knows who gave them to him?"

"You..."

The three Dao Realm Experts were blatantly reneging.

Watching Ye Zhen locked by their aura also chuckled.

This Wang Baimu was duped miserably, but Ye Zhen had never seen such shameless Dao Realm Experts before.

But even after racking his brains, Ye Zhen could not figure out when he had offended these three Dao Realm Experts.

Meanwhile, an extremely furious Wang Baimu calmed down, his expression turning incredibly grim.

"The face you show while reneging is rather ugly, isn’t it? Moreover, have you forgotten the Divine Soul Oath you made when we agreed?

You three are all Dao Realm Experts, are you not afraid of the Heavenly Dao’s retribution?" Wang Baimu harshly rebuked.

Wang Baimu always had a certain security basis in all the deals in his bounty trade route.

Strangely, when the three Dao Realm Experts heard Wang Baimu’s words about ’Heaven’s retribution,’ they not only didn’t worry but burst into uproarious laughter.

Leaving Wang Baimu rather puzzled, even Ye Zhen found it extremely bizarre.

After all, Dao Realm Experts were indeed prone to fulfilling Divine Soul Oaths.

The next moment, one of the Dao Realm Experts who was laughing heartily pointed at Wang Baimu as if he was an idiot and laughed,

"Fool, when have you ever seen the Demon Clan afraid of Heaven’s retribution?"

"What, the Demon Clan?" Wang Baimu was dumbfounded on the spot.

"You’re from the Demon Clan?"

As Ye Zhen and Wang Baimu gasped in shock, the three Dao Realm Experts suddenly revealed their true forms.
