"They're here!"

"White cloaks with 'Ritian Sect' on them, it's them! They're from the Ritian Sect!"

"Hahaha, only one Level Five life form, the rest are Level Four. This is just too easy!"

This city is way beyond any Earth city. According to Gou Dan's scans, the adventurers in the whole city exceed 2 million, all transmitted to different corners of the city.

Actually, these people all come from different civilizations, but they seem to have formed an alliance and have some way of communicating. Everyone is swarming towards the location of those 127 people.

These folks are the elite selected from various civilizations, all at the peak of Level Five life forms. The sheer pressure they bring is akin to a brutal clash between civilizations.

"Dean, it's getting lively here."

"Tsk tsk tsk, the first time meeting and they're welcoming us like this. I feel a bit flattered!"

"Oh my, so many people, it's scary. What now, are we going to be wiped out?"

"My big sword is itching for action."

Faced with this encirclement of hundreds of thousands, they showed no fear or panic, just bantering back and forth.

"Twin Whales Cosmic Empire? Ritian Sect? I'm not impressed!" A burly peak Level Five life form stepped out from the crowd, "You only got so many slots because you have a level nine life form backing you. It's a complete waste for you to have these slots!"

"Who do you think you are?" Zhang Menglong glanced at him.

"From the Carmonte of the Xilo Cosmic Empire!"

"The Xilo Cosmic Empire?"

"Wow, we really ran into each other, I heard from our king that the Xilo Empire was supposed to get 8000 slots, but the Twin Whales Cosmic Empire stole half from them."

"I also heard that the king of the Xilo Cosmic Empire was seriously injured by that level nine life form of theirs."

"Not only that, the Ritian Sect people extorted him heavily, several thousand Cosmic Coins!"

"Really? This is pretty much a vendetta now."

"Those Ritian Sect folks are screwed. I've heard of this Carmonte; he already has one foot in the Level Six life form territory, and in a few thousand years, he'll become a full-fledged Level Six life form. He's only 120,000 years old at the moment."

"That's a genius, huh? I don't even know if I'll be able to cross that threshold in my lifetime!"

Chatter rose around, suggesting Carmonte was somewhat famous in the cosmic civilizations.

In fact, every civilization has a place like an online duel arena in their Martial Dao Association, where Artificial Intelligence can simulate all the information of a life form for dueling, and the results are shared throughout the universe.

Among all the Level Five life forms, anyone whose name is remembered is not easy to deal with.

"Oh, from the Xilo Cosmic Empire," Zhang Menglong laughed, "How's your king doing?"

"None of your business!" Zhang Menglong's sarcastic tone infuriated Carmonte, "Our king instructed, if we meet you in the treasure vault, we must treat you well. If you guys keep a low profile, so be it, but unlucky for you, you ran into me."

"Hey, why are you babbling so much?" Zhang Menglong shrugged, "Can you cut to the chase? What do you guys want?"

"Hand over all your Fire of Fate and then commit suicide to leave the treasure vault. Perhaps then you can avoid some pain," Carmonte said. "Though dying here won't truly kill you, the pain will remain one hundred percent. We don't want to waste our energy, so it'd be best not to make us do it ourselves."

"That's right, you guys are only over 100, while we have at least a million here. Do you think you have the ability to resist?"

"Hahaha, don't even think about running away. If we let you escape, we'd be total losers."

"Hey, where do you get your confidence and courage from? Did we say we were going to run?"

"Maybe Liang Jingru gave it to us."

"Listen up, you're surrounded by us 127 people. Hand over everything valuable you have, then give up your Fire of Fate, and put a green hat on yourselves. We might not kick you out of the treasure vault!"

"Damn it, Wu Yunan, who told you to steal my lines?" Zhang Menglong kicked the young man on the butt.

This left everyone a bit stunned.

What did they mean? Did they not understand their current situation? 127 against over a million, anyone not crazy would be shaking by now, yet they seemed to imply that they were the ones in a favorable position.

"Since you don't want to accept my goodwill, don't blame me," Carmonte stepped forward alone, "This is a matter of our Xilo Cosmic Empire, no one else interfere!"

The Xilo Cosmic Empire, ranking second among civilizations, is very prestigious in the cosmic civilizations. Their selected elite warriors are the elite of the elites, so others generally respect their face.

As for the outcome? One mid-Level Five life form, 126 life forms, any peak Level Five life form could handle them easily. The difference in life level is vast!

"Wait!" Zhang Menglong raised a hand.

"Hmph!" Carmonte sneered, "Scared? Then you'd better do as I said."

"Idiot, do you think you have horns on your head or a tail on your back? Do you deserve it?" Zhang Menglong gestured at everyone, "I'm not targeting any one of you, I want to say, every single one of you here is trash. Come at us all together!"

"All together?"

"Hahaha, that's a joke."

"Are all Ritian Sect people brainless?"

"They think they're War Gods? One against ten thousand?"

"Fine, don't waste time, just kill them. We still need to find treasures in this vault!"

"Right, as for the Fire of Fate, whoever kills gets it. No jealousy allowed!"

"No objections!"

...

Over a million Level Five life forms charged menacingly, making the ground tremble.

"Hold your horses!" Zhang Menglong halted them once more, "Give us a few minutes!"

"Stalling for time? Even if all 50,000 from the Twin Whales Cosmic Empire were here, no one would leave alive today!"

"Hahaha, give them a few minutes, let's see what last words they have."

"Okay, five minutes for you!"

Everyone looked confident, after all, a few million against over a hundred, no one expected to lose.

"Who wants to go?" Zhang Menglong asked, "The higher the level of the Fire of Fate, the more credit points I'll reward you!"

"I'll go!"

"Damn it, Liu Yang, you already have the most credit points among us, stop hogging!"

"Yeah! I just redeemed some Spirit Martial Arts with my credits, now I'm broke. Brothers, let me have it!"

"No way, clear accounts among brothers, I still have lots to redeem!"

"Shall we rock-paper-scissors?"

"Deal! Rock-paper-scissors! The last one standing goes!"

"Rock-paper-scissors!"

"Rock-paper-scissors!"

...

"What are they doing?"

"Seems like playing rock-paper-scissors?"

"I think I heard them say whoever wins will fight us."

"What? They're fighting over this?"

"They kinda look down on us."

"Be more confident, without the 'kinda'. They do look down on us!"
