65: Chapter 65 Is your name on the list of opportunities? If you can't beat me, then shut up!

By the banks of Qingyuan Lake, water vapor rose.

The lake water appeared dark red, with a large amount of scales and shredded meat floating on the surface.

Old Ghost Wanxue panted heavily, his withered chest heaving violently.

More than half of his blood-colored magic robe was torn, his left arm hung limply by his side, and blood dripped from his fingertips.

Daoist Minggu stood ten steps away, the bone staff in his hand broken in two.

He hunched his back, the Nether Ghost Fire surrounding him dimming and flickering, as if it could go out at any moment.

On the shallow beach ahead, two mutated Lava Magic Dragons, over a hundred zhang in size, lay in the mud.

These two Saint Grade Great Perfection Yao Beasts were covered in wounds deep enough to see bone, and dark red lava blood flowed out, charring the surrounding soil black.

They emitted weak wails, their massive bodies twitching from time to time.

“I have finally beaten these two beasts into submission.” Old Ghost Wanxue straightened up and looked at the small island in the center of the lake, only a few zhang in size.

A silver tree, less than half a person tall, grew in the center of the island.

At the tip of a branch hung a fruit the size of a fist.

The fruit was silver-white all over, with Dao patterns flowing on its surface and faint dragon-shaped phantoms swimming inside.

heavenly saliva silver dragon fruit.

With this immortal fruit, he could not only make up for the Lifespan he had just lost but also use it to comprehend the Laws of heaven and earth to charge into the Supreme Realm.

Old Ghost Wanxue swallowed hard, his eyes shining.

He turned to glance at Daoist Minggu.

Daoist Minggu immediately took half a step back, holding his broken staff across his chest.

For this fruit, the two had fought together for half an hour, exhausting all their trump cards.

Now that the Yao Beasts were incapacitated, it was time to divide the spoils.

“Minggu, according to our previous agreement, this fruit belongs to me. I will compensate you with three Saint Grade Magic Treasures and five Top-Grade Spiritual Veins.”

Old Ghost Wanxue exerted force through his feet, his body turning into a streak of blood-red light as he lunged toward the island in the center of the lake.

Daoist Minggu snorted coldly but did not block him.

He was more severely injured and wasn't confident in snatching anything from Old Ghost Wanxue; taking compensation was the best choice.

Old Ghost Wanxue landed in front of the small silver tree and reached out his withered right hand toward the heavenly saliva silver dragon fruit.

He was only three inches away from the fruit.

Just then.

The space above the small silver tree distorted.

A pitch-black spatial rift appeared out of thin air.

Immediately after, Lu Chen's figure appeared on the island, looking straight at Old Ghost Wanxue.

Old Ghost Wanxue was stunned, his hand frozen in mid-air, unable to advance or retreat.

Lu Chen didn't look at Old Ghost Wanxue at all and casually turned around.

On the shallow beach, the two Lava Magic Dragons that were originally on the verge of death seemed to sense a heart-palpitating aura and suddenly raised their heads in a death struggle.

They opened their bloody maws, preparing to spit out their final lava dragon breath.

Lu Chen raised his right leg.

Bang!

He kicked the jaw of the Magic Dragon on the left.

The massive Magic Dragon didn't even let out a scream as its entire body soared into the air, turning into a crimson stream of light that instantly flew ten miles away and crashed heavily into the distant mountains.

The mountain collapsed, and dust soared into the sky.

Lu Chen retracted his right leg and then raised his left.

Bang!

The Magic Dragon on the right was also kicked away, crashing into another mountain peak, its life or death unknown.

The lakeside was silent.

Old Ghost Wanxue and Daoist Minggu stood there dazed.

Those were two Saint Grade Great Perfection mutated Yao Beasts! The two of them had risked their lives just to barely wound them.

Lu Chen turned around to face the small silver tree.

He extended a hand of spiritual power and grabbed the stem of the heavenly saliva silver dragon fruit, but he didn't refine it instantly.

Crack. The fruit was plucked by its roots.

Only then did Lu Chen bring the fruit in front of him.

The space behind him rippled again, and Yan Lingji appeared, followed by Wei Hongyu, who walked out of the Void Realm with a swaying posture.

Her phoenix eyes stared intently at the fruit in Lu Chen's hand.

“Here.” Lu Chen tossed it casually.

Wei Hongyu hurriedly reached out to catch it, cradling it in her arms with a beaming smile; the debt of 380 million Top-Grade Spirit Stones wasn't canceled for nothing.

Watching this scene, Old Ghost Wanxue's blood boiled, a sweet taste rose in his throat, and he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

The Opportunity he had fought so hard for, burning his Lifespan to obtain, was taken right in front of him just like that?

“Senior Emperor Yun!” Old Ghost Wanxue gritted his teeth, the voice squeezed out from between them.

Lu Chen turned his head and looked at Old Ghost Wanxue.

“How? Is something the matter?”

Old Ghost Wanxue trembled all over, pointing at the fruit in Wei Hongyu's arms and then at the wounds on his own body.

“Senior is a Great Emperor of this era, a person of Supreme status. How can you be so devoid of martial ethics?”

Old Ghost Wanxue complained about the injustice.

“This heavenly saliva silver dragon fruit is an Opportunity that this Junior and Fellow Daoist Minggu fought to the death against the guardian Yao Beasts to obtain!”

“For Senior to seize it by force like this, snatching a Junior's Opportunity, I'm afraid it won't sound good if it gets out!”

Daoist Minggu also spoke up boldly: “Senior Emperor Yun, the cultivation world has its own rules, first come, first served. Doing this is indeed beneath the status of a Great Emperor.”

Lu Chen picked his ear.

He looked at the two old men in front of him, who were fuming with rage, and laughed out loud.

“Rules? First come, first served?” Lu Chen spread his hands.

“What? Not convinced?”

“Does an Opportunity have someone's name written on it? Is it whoever sees it first that owns it? Shouldn't it belong to whoever gets it and can keep it?”

Lu Chen walked up to Old Ghost Wanxue and looked down at him.

“Call out to it; will it answer you?”

Old Ghost Wanxue was choked up, unable to speak.

Lu Chen continued:

“Opportunities in the cultivation world are snatched in the first place. If you can snatch them from Yao Beasts, why can't I snatch them from you? What kind of logic is that?”

“So what if I'm a Great Emperor? Once someone becomes a Great Emperor, they can't snatch things anymore? They have to maintain peace!” Lu Chen said righteously.

“Did I Cultivate so hard to reach the Emperor Realm just to talk reason with you old geezers every day?”

“I Cultivated to the Emperor Realm so that I could do whatever I wanted without worrying about being beaten to death.”

Old Ghost Wanxue and Daoist Minggu looked at each other.

Having lived for thousands of years, they had never seen someone talk like this.

What was even more fatal was that this person happened to be the only Great Emperor in the world; they simply couldn't afford to provoke him.

Old Ghost Wanxue's hands trembled with rage inside his sleeves.

Lu Chen caught this movement.

“Want to hit me? Hit me then!”

“Come, hit me right here.” Lu Chen patted his cheek.

“As long as the two of you can beat me today, I'll return this medicine to you exactly as it was, and I'll even throw in two additional imperial weapons of the utmost path.”

Old Ghost Wanxue and Daoist Minggu turned pale and took three steps back.

Hit a Great Emperor? They wouldn't dare even if they were given a hundred times more courage.

“Can't win?” Lu Chen stopped smiling and looked at the two expressionlessly.

“If you can't win, then shut the hell up!”

“However, you're right to remind me. If this gets out, it really won't be good for my reputation!”

“So if you two are going to stay here, it's better if it doesn't get out!”

Old Ghost Wanxue and Daoist Minggu trembled all over, chilled by the killing intent in his words.

Neither of them dared to make a sound. They immediately turned around, transformed into two streaks of light, and fled from Qingyuan Lake without looking back.

They didn't even dare to collect the corpses of the two Magic Dragons.

Lu Chen looked in the direction they fled and curled his lip.

Wei Hongyu put the heavenly saliva silver dragon fruit into her Storage Ring, walked to Lu Chen's side, and bumped him with her shoulder.

“Nicely done. Now there's hope for me to Breakthrough to the Supreme Realm.”

“The debt is cleared, alright? Don't annoy me with that crappy bill anymore.”

In the distance, behind a low hill.

Jiang Yifei, Nangong Ziyi, and Ji Linger had just arrived, and they happened to witness the entire process of Lu Chen snatching the immortal fruit and rebuking the two Saints.

Jiang Yifei crouched behind a bush, shaking his head repeatedly as he watched Lu Chen.

“This Senior really has cultivation for nothing; his actions are so disgraceful.”

“As a Great Emperor, he actually lowered himself to snatch things from two Saints and even said those kinds of things.”

“Where is the dignity of a Great Emperor? If my Jiang Family's Old Ancestor saw such behavior, he would surely be heartbroken and scold him loudly.”

Jiang Yifei turned to look at Nangong Ziyi and Ji Linger, trying to find agreement on their faces.

He felt that these two young ladies from prestigious families would certainly not be able to stand Lu Chen's behavior.

However, what he saw were two faces with flushed cheeks and eyes shining with light.

Nangong Ziyi turned her head and glared fiercely at Jiang Yifei.

“What do you know!” Nangong Ziyi scolded.

“This is called the Law of the cultivation world!”

“Senior Emperor Yun has long transcended worldly constraints. He follows his heart and acts unconventionally; this is what it means to be truly free and easy!”

Ji Ling'er followed immediately.，Clench both fists in front of your chest。

“Exactly! Cousin, you're too pedantic!” Ji Linger retorted to Jiang Yifei.

“Senior is teaching us the cruel truth of the cultivation world through his actions!”

“Senior is letting us see that the cultivation world isn't just about the immediate struggles, but also the mindset of the strong bullying the weak and the norm of using power to suppress others!”

Jiang Yifei was completely stunned.

He opened his mouth but couldn't say a word for a long time.

Ji Linger's words, “the mindset of the strong bullying the weak and the norm of using power to suppress others,” kept echoing in his mind.

This can be justified too? But it actually makes sense!

No! A Great Emperor's robbery is called following one's heart?

So as long as one is handsome and has high cultivation, even their farts smell good?

Is this what they mean by 'as long as one looks good, their values follow their features'?
