Chapter 566: Chapter 566

The ground beneath his feet split open without him realizing.

A shadow shattered, turning into Bone Powder.

The White Bone Young Master twitched at the corner of his mouth.

This Sword Beauty attacked him, in fact.

The one who attacked him was the Shadow Beauty.

Taking advantage of the moment of being welcomed by the Sword Beauty’s strike, the Smiling Beauty launched a full-force assault.

Aiming to affect someone at the Late Stage of Nascent Soul, the Smiling Beauty’s skin had already cracked, revealing bones with visible fissures.

Clearly, that one smile had cost her greatly; although she hadn’t died, she temporarily lost her combat ability.

This is the Demon Dao, never lacking the ability for self-harming bursts.

Otherwise, how could the Smiling Beauty, only at the Early Stage of Nascent Soul, affect two Nascent Soul powerhouses?

With a smile, the Sword Beauty performed a life-sacrificing strike to draw attention.

The Shadow Beauty launched a full-force surprise attack.

Yet was counterattacked and killed in return; this person realized and chose to retaliate even at the cost of enduring a full-force strike.

To take a full-force surprise attack solidly and still retaliate, and yet not die.

No, something’s wrong.

The Nascent Soul powerhouse at the Late Stage, though not dead, was visibly dimming, continuously dimming.

Dimmed to the point of transparency now.

"Sorry, hold on." He smiled apologetically, his figure turning into light spots and disappearing.

The mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator guarding was almost in tears.

How did the situation reverse so quickly? This was nothing like he imagined.

He had the Magical Treasure Water Element Pearl for defense, and many cultivators roaming inside the Array, including Nascent Soul cultivators ready to support at any time,

The most important was this Array Hub, which could directly summon clones of other cultivators at the hub, possessing as much as ninety percent combat power.

And every quarter can summon one, at most thirty-six.

With such strong power, holding on for a while, just these clones could annihilate the demon rogue completely. The most update n0vels are published on novel·fire.net

The Water Element Shield of the Water Element Pearl, capable of taking attacks from many Nascent Soul cultivators, was seriously injured with one hit.

The strongest among the thirty-six Late Stage Nascent Soul cultivators summoned from the Array Hub, was also killed instantly?

He suddenly panicked.

The White Bone Young Master also suffered heavy losses, his subordinates struggling to resist, his Lifebound Treasure, the White Bone Beauty Painting’s strongest, the Sword Beauty, as well as the Shadow Beauty and Smiling Beauty, either dead or lost their combat ability.

The Illusory Beauty was holding a formation with followers and Daoist Soldiers to barely maintain support, most of the other beauties were supporting roles, not excelling in combat strength.

It can be said, his combat power had been more than halved.

However, in this life, to reach this point, the White Bone Young Master had encountered more dangerous situations and had survived them all.

Thus, he looked calm, gazing at the guarding Nascent Soul, and said: "Last chance, ...!"

His expression continuously changed, looking at his damaged Magical Treasure, the Water Element Pearl.

Without a thousand years of nurturing, don’t even think of restoring it, and now, it can only exert seventy percent of its defensive power.

The most crucial was, if another terrifying strike like the previous one came, it couldn’t be blocked, and the Magical Treasure would be destroyed.

If he died, so be it, but losing this family-inheriting Magical Treasure would make him a sinner of the family.

"I must vow the Four Heavens Oath, it’s only me, nothing to do with the family." He finally spoke.

The White Bone Young Master smiled.

At this point, the task of breaking through the formation was perfectly completed.

Coercing him to switch allegiance was equivalent to breaking through a key hub of the Array.

The Four Heavens Oath, a rule revised by the collaboration of the Four Celestial Great World’s four Celestial Beings, had already been integrated into the entire Four Celestial Great World’s Heavenly Dao rules.

Though only those achieving Nascent Soul, using Nascent Soul power, could sign it, and it was effective only in the Four Celestial Great World.

Without reaching Divinity Transformation, one wasn’t qualified to join the Outer Battlefield nor could they leave this world.

Small Knife came out from the underground secret chamber, chatting with Big Beard.

Hadn’t seen each other for a while, Big Beard was worried about Small Knife’s safety.

This conversation shocked Big Beard repeatedly, as the secrets Small Knife mentioned casually, even with his Nascent Soul-level cultivation, he had only heard rumors about and wasn’t qualified to access.

Especially Small Knife’s offhand remarks about the Four Celestial Great World’s strategies, policies, etc., opened Big Beard’s eyes.

Particularly the unique existence of Demon Heaven, although the Four Heavens were harmonious, life-and-death struggles existed below, accompanied by some strange rules.

Being Nascent Soul now, the circles one encountered were different, and there were some speculations.

But speculations were only that.

Now with the understanding gained from Small Knife, he comprehended much.

Not reaching Divinity Transformation, even the top levels he once yearned for, Nascent Soul cultivators, were nothing but ants from above.

Struggling within prescribed rules, on a chessboard.

Only by reaching Divinity Transformation could one escape.

Only then could one step out of the chessboard and enter the Outer Battlefield.

The Bearded Sword Cultivator, decisive in slaughter, could only sigh and feel emotional, some heroes met a dead end, because achieving Nascent Soul already relied on help from this one.

In this life, there’s no chance to become Divinity Transformation nor enter the Outer Battlefield.

If he could go there, even if it meant a chance in ten thousand to survive, there might be a chance for a breakthrough, but alas, below Divinity Transformation, only Daoist Soldiers had a chance.

Thus, Big Beard felt deeply.

Not to mention, he knew, he probably wouldn’t be able to leave this domain in this lifetime.

Ten thousand years of confinement.

"If you truly wish to go, there’ll be a chance in the future." Small Knife smiled mildly, confident.

Big Beard widened his eyes, stupefied, incredulous, watching Small Knife, sensing he wasn’t joking.

The goods sold, though prices kept rising, never ceased flowing, an amount could always be procured as long as the funds were in place.

This inherently suggested a connection with the outside world.

This domain being sealed, with an outside connection?

Perhaps Divinity Transformation powers could achieve it, but it’s accepted that they wouldn’t intervene.

No one was foolish, Small Knife’s influence was thriving in the Inner City, freer than those Nascent Soul Clans, making big profits on Spirit Stones, yet no one dared provoke him.

Indeed, the constant supervisors becoming Nascent Soul level powerhouses were helpless.

And several times probing attempts, wanting to buy some special rare things,

Generally, such materials weren’t in stock; only by connecting with the outside could they be acquired.

Small Knife naturally set a sky-high price, completing deals smoothly.

By now, Small Knife had almost emptied the resources of the Wu and Feng Families’ Nascent Soul clans in the Wu Feng Domain.

This was far more profitable than robbery.

Thus, these Nascent Soul clans dared not move against Small Knife.

These thoughts flashed through his mind.

Big Beard understood, this was his opportunity, and encountering it once in a lifetime was as if blessed by ancestors burning incense.

He bowed respectfully and said, "Young Master, if not despised, henceforth, I will be your Daoist Soldier, only hoping to one day enter the Outer Battlefield, seeking a chance for my Divinity Transformation."

Seeing this, Small Knife nodded, a satisfied smile appeared.

Subsequently, Small Knife led him into the underground secret chamber.

New arrays were laid here.

Speaking of the arrays originally optimized by Heavenly Dao consciousness, stolen effects increased tenfold.

Now, relying on the Core Disciple status, acquiring the knowledge of Earth Vein Extreme Point and World Core arrays, the effects could enhance tenfold again.

With World Consciousness optimizing again, enhancing further.

The effect was a hundred times faster than before, extracting Earth Vein Extreme Point Origin Energy was already swift.

But how could one ever be satisfied?

This is called endless learning.

It’s because of never being satisfied that progress is made, right?

Thus, inviting Big Beard in, hosting by this Nascent Soul cultivator, the effect could enhance tenfold again.

A simple introduction made Big Beard’s face change.

This was stealing the Earth Vein Origin, digging the foundation of the Wu and Feng Families in the Wu Feng Domain.

This was very unethical, if discovered, it’d surely be a fight to the death.

Of course, Big Beard wasn’t afraid to die, but doing such deceitful things contradicted his nature.

"You’re just an Outer Sect disciple, so you don’t know. This is a trial from above on those below, whether to guard the Earth Vein or seize it, it’s based on one’s abilities, and those above tacitly agree; this Earth Vein Extreme Point doesn’t belong to the Wu and Feng Families."

Small Knife said flatly, reaching out, taking something out that suddenly changed Big Beard’s face.
