CHAPTER 746: CHAPTER 612 PRIMORDIAL HOLDER

Sare Town.

S-level Club Pub.

Emperor Bai stood in the center of the pub, his hands forming seals, chanting mysterious and abstruse spells.

With the incantation, layers of light and shadow emerged within the dilapidated pub.

The events that had once taken place in this pub, those past people and occurrences, were brought back to life before Emperor Bai by the spell.

Emperor Bai was about to observe closely, searching for some useful intelligence.

Suddenly, an abrupt change occurred—

A violent roar erupted from outside the pub.

Following that,

all thirty-six of his guardians crashed into the pub, tumbling to the floor, moaning in pain with human voices.

Emperor Bai was furious, his face clouded with anger as he said:

"Which being dares to trouble me?"

A black light descended onto the pub’s bar, transforming into a human man.

He wore tight leather pants, was shirtless above the waist, and his body from hand to torso was covered in black runes, with a long Mohawk atop his head, his narrow eyes filled with killing intent.

He squatted on the bar, saying listlessly:

"It’s me, Bai."

"Night King!" Emperor Bai’s face changed, and he was about to make his move.

The Night King also raised his hand slightly, ready for battle.

But at this moment, in this pub, the Flowing Light Retrospection Skill belonging to Emperor Bai was still in operation.

Only the shadows had changed.

They gathered behind the Night King, slowly turning into a scene of brand-new light and shadow.

In the midst of the light and shadow—

The Night King was fighting a young man.

The battle of endless kicks and forceful grabs was being displayed before Emperor Bai’s eyes.

Emperor Bai was momentarily stunned, the killing intent on his body suddenly cleaned off completely.

In that split second—

He realized many things.

But still, there were some things he needed to confirm.

"Night King, what brings you here to find me?" Emperor Bai asked.

"Nothing much, just came to see if you’ve found that human yet," the Night King said somewhat unexpectedly.

Behind him, in that field of light and shadow, the scene where the Night King parted ways with the young man appeared.

—The Night King didn’t recognize that guy!

He didn’t know that the one he’d fought was the youth who had unleashed "love, dreams, and world peace"!

But he knew!

Emperor Bai completely calmed down.

In front of him, in the Void, rows of prompt runes visible only to him madly appeared—

Those were the great Epic Task prompts issued by the "Sage" sequence.

The sequence had already captured the movements of that young man.

—Killing him could change the entire era!

As for the Night King—

The Night King was strong, and it was clear that he had come looking for trouble.

There was no need to get entangled with him.

Once he completed this vital task, the "Sage" sequence would immediately elevate his power, taking him to unprecedented heights!

By that time, what would the Night King count for?

The clock hand ticked.

"I have lost his trail."

Emperor Bai continued the conversation without leaving a trace.

The Night King stared at him for a while.

Obviously, the fluctuations of Magic in the Void were clearly some sort of light and shadow retrospection skill.

Emperor Bai was examining what had happened here.

—He truly hadn’t found the young man.

"Bai, it seems that your aspiration to become our co-sovereign is just a delusion," the Night King mocked.

"I had no choice, he vanished without a trace, I admit I underestimated humans," Emperor Bai sighed and said.

He shook his head, seemingly a bit helpless.

The Night King remained silent for a few breaths, and suddenly felt somewhat disinterested.

What had he come here for?

This Bai character was utterly incapable, and the possibility of him climbing to his position was nonexistent.

He had traveled tens of thousands of miles, utterly a waste of time.

"Bai, it’s boring anyways, let’s have a fight,"

the Night King said.

"Are you insane?" Emperor Bai directly shook his head and said, "The spell of ’love, dreams, and world peace’ has not yet been lifted, the Primordial Tribulation is still ever-changing, and in such a situation, you want to fight me?"

"Just want to try out, I want to see if you’ve really improved," the Night King continued to test.

Emperor Bai outright sneered and said:

"Night King, you’ve truly gone mad."

——Continuing to yield will only make it more suspicious.

Then——

With gritted teeth, Emperor Bai whispered, "Life Wheel, turn!"

Around him, five guardians screamed in unison, their bodies falling motionless to the ground.

Yet five shadows rose from them, entering Emperor Bai’s back and forming a blurry, spinning wheel.

"Night King, since you want a decisive battle, bring it on. Today, it’s either you die or I perish!"

Emperor Bai roared.

He began to radiate a tremendous aura.

At this point, the Night King started to regret.

Looking at the constantly spinning Life Wheel behind Emperor Bai, it said in a low voice, "Is that the Life Replacement Plate? Will those five guards die for you?"

"Yes, that’s right. You wanted to fight me, didn’t you? Come now——"

Emperor Bai’s eyes were filled with blood as he continued, "I know you’re formidable, but now I have six lives. I will fight you to the death."

Then he vanished from the spot.

The Night King’s pupils shrank, shouting, "Wait, I was just joking with you, we don’t have to fight!"

However, Emperor Bai had already lost five guards.

In such a situation, how could he possibly give up?

If he stopped just because of a single sentence from his opponent, he might as well not show his face again!

Boom——————

The entire bar was torn apart by the immense power.

...

As Emperor Bai and the Night King clashed.

Thousands of miles away from Sare Town, amidst towering mountains.

Deep within an underground cave.

Wu Xiaode squatted on a pile of stones by the river underground, lighting a fire.

Since the rain tribulation, one thing had been confirmed:

Buildings and shelters were crucial for hiding from the Initial Tribulation.

Even Fire Giants couldn’t penetrate buildings and gaze upon any life within.

Caves.

They were a natural form of cover, even considered a primary dwelling for humans in the primordial era.

Wu Xiaode took a deep breath and opened the Book of the Dead.

"Goldie."

"Boss, you look like someone who’s just been beaten and is seeking revenge, am I right?" asked Goldie.

"Continue to sacrifice the Cultivation Techniques from the jade mountain, don’t stop," Wu Xiaode said.

"Are you planning to continue evolving the ’Matriarch Python’?"

Wu Xiaode answered, "I encountered a Mysterious life that can combo endlessly. The ’Matriarch Python’ must evolve, or else I won’t stand a chance next time!"

Goldie nodded its head, replying, "Then I’ll start the sacrifice... Considering efficiency and compatibility, this time I’ll sacrifice 327 Cultivation Techniques, which will take 17 hours and 59 minutes."

"Start!" Wu Xiaode said.

He placed the Holy Treasure Ring on Goldie’s head, allowing it to sacrifice the skills one by one to the "Matriarch Python" on the Wall of Sighs.

Narrowing its eyes, Goldie reminded him:

"I don’t have any issues with the work at hand, but I think you should take a look at that thing on your finger first."

As it spoke, Wu Xiaode had already lifted his hand.

On his finger——

The ring bestowed by the World Will of the Virtual World was twinkling with a faint light.

"Ring of the Oblivion River!"

This Divine Artifact originally had two effects:

"Effect 1: You can communicate with the World Will at any time through it."

"Effect 2: You represent the will of the Virtual World; you can assist the World Will in examining and selecting contestants for the champion battles."

"——The other functions of this ring have been sealed."

But at this moment, the ring seemed to be changing.

Rows of ice crystal letters emerged beside the ring:

"Activation condition one discovered:"

"Wearer: Champion of the battles (basic condition)."

"Activation condition two discovered:"

"The current champion hasn’t progressed along the pre-designed path of evolution (rare condition)."

"Activation condition three discovered:"

"The ring has detected the existence of ’Pangu’ World (a condition almost impossible to meet)."

"With the above three conditions met, to ensure the sequence gains power, this ring is now activating."

"Attention!"

"The ring has unveiled a secret special identity mark:"

"Primordial holder."

"From now on, the bearer of this ring, should they do nothing else, will once a day have a chance to encounter a gift pushed by the Pangu World, thereby strengthening the sequence and continuously progressing."

"——Pangu has long been shattered, but the mechanisms left behind have been waiting for a successor."
