Chapter 23 Fortune favors the bold; opportunity is right before our eyes, how can we let it slip awa
at the same time!
A surge of pure and precious energy, so rich that even Niu Ben, a Taiyi Golden Immortal, was shaken to his core, swept in like a storm!
This precious energy was so thick that it seemed to have materialized. Taking a deep breath made one feel comfortable throughout their body, and even their magical power seemed to increase!
You can't go wrong!
This is absolutely a unique sign of the birth of a primordial spiritual treasure!
Moreover, judging from this earth-shattering momentum, it is probably not as simple as a low-grade innate spiritual treasure!
A ripple finally stirred in Niu Ben's eternally cold eyes. He abruptly stopped, standing proudly above the clouds like a god!
"Ding!"
It was at this moment.
The cold, mechanical yet incredibly comforting system notification sound that filled his mind arrived as scheduled!
[The opportunity of "the birth of a primordial spiritual treasure" has been detected, triggering a divine choice.]
[Option 1: Prioritize stability. This place may be coveted by powerful beings; danger lurks everywhere. Immediately return to Kunlun Mountain, ignoring the glow of this place and focusing on your cultivation. Completing this choice will reward you with 100,000 years of magical power.]
[Option Two: Fortune favors the bold; opportunity knocks but once, why let it slip away? Immediately head to the Land of Glowing Light to seize the treasure. Completing this choice will reward you with: One Supreme Divine Power (random).]
The cold, icy system light screen appeared in Niu Ben's sea of consciousness.
Looking at the two options in front of him, Niu Ben's lips curled into a cold, matter-of-fact smile.
Ten thousand years of magical power?
It may sound like a lot, but for him, who is now a late-stage Taiyi Golden Immortal with a vast foundation of magical power, it's just like pouring a ladle of water into a lake, not even causing a ripple.
It's a drop in the ocean, utterly meaningless!
But their supernatural powers are completely different!
The terrifying power of the [Great Dao Clone Technique] that the system rewarded him with last time, which was as powerful as heaven and earth, is still fresh in his memory and he can't stop thinking about it!
This supreme divine power is his greatest trump card, allowing him to live and run rampant in this perilous prehistoric world!
Magical power can be cultivated slowly, but such heaven-defying divine abilities are a supreme fortune that can only be encountered by chance and cannot be sought!
The more the better!
Do we still need to choose?
"I choose option two!"
Without the slightest hesitation, the moment Niu Ben made his decision, his entire demeanor changed!
boom!
His figure blurred, like a black lightning bolt tearing through the void, carrying unparalleled power, and he descended fiercely towards the mountain range where the rosy clouds soared into the sky!
As he stepped onto the mountaintop, his divine senses spread out like a tide, and he discovered that many creatures attracted by the precious light had indeed gathered there.
These creatures are bizarre and varied, representing all walks of life, from demons and monsters to all sorts of beings.
There was a giant demon with horns on its head and an aura of demonic power emanating from its body.
There were also ghost cultivators surrounded by eerie ghostly energy, their faces deathly pale.
There is even an ancient tree that has cultivated itself into a spirit, taking root in the ground, its branches swaying constantly.
Their eyes were bloodshot and glowing green as they stared intently at the true source of the rosy light—a seemingly ordinary, even somewhat dilapidated, valley.
Greed, desire, and murderous intent intertwined in the air, forming an invisible net.
However, none of them dared to be the first to rush in and take the lead, creating a delicate balance among them, with each wary of the other.
The cold smile on Niu Ben's lips grew even more pronounced.
How powerful is his divine will?
With just a sweep, he could clearly discern the cultivation levels of all living beings, leaving nothing out.
The strongest among them was only a late-stage Golden Immortal with a somewhat weak aura, who must have been in seclusion for many years and was nearing the end of his lifespan, so he came to fight for this sliver of hope.
The rest were a bunch of second-rate True Immortals and Mystic Immortals.
That's it?
A bunch of worthless chickens and dogs, how dare they covet innate spiritual treasures?
That's an absolute joke!
Niu Ben didn't even bother to look at them again, and made no attempt to conceal his presence.
Boom—!
The terrifying pressure of a late-stage Taiyi Golden Immortal was unleashed without reservation, like the Milky Way pouring down from the heavens, transforming into an invisible ancient divine mountain that crashed down upon the entire mountain range!
At this moment, the wind stopped, the clouds dispersed, and even the clamorous precious light seemed to pause!
boom!
The entire mountain range, stretching for thousands of miles, could not withstand this oppressive force and let out a mournful cry of unbearable strain, trembling violently!
Countless rocks crumbled and turned to dust!
All living beings present were as insignificant as a small boat in a storm before this terrifying pressure that seemed capable of crushing the eternal sky!
Their magical power was instantly suppressed and rendered unable to function. Their souls were as if they were being tightly gripped by an invisible hand, making it difficult for them to breathe!
"Thump!"
"Thump!"
Those True Immortals and Profound Immortals with slightly weaker cultivation couldn't even utter a scream before their legs went weak like mud, and they were directly pressed to the ground, collapsing to the ground!
Their bones crackled and popped, blood even seeped from their seven orifices, and their bodies trembled violently like sieves!
"A...a Taiyi Golden Immortal! A powerful Taiyi Golden Immortal!"
The old demon who had previously been proud of his superior cultivation and was quite pleased with himself was now completely pale, his old face as white as paper!
He used all his strength to barely keep from kneeling down on the spot, but his legs were shaking uncontrollably, and he was horrified and speechless!
He just couldn't understand it!
Damn it! How could such a remote, godforsaken place possibly attract a forbidden being of this caliber!
How can we even bother stealing any treasures like this?!
Niu Ben stood with his hands behind his back, his black clothes fluttering in the oppressive aura. His gaze was calm, or rather, extremely indifferent.
That gaze was like that of the Heavenly Dao, high above the ninth heaven, looking down upon a group of ants struggling to survive.
He slowly scanned the entire scene, and finally, his gaze landed on the horrified face of the Golden Immortal Demon.
He parted his thin lips slightly, his tone indifferent and devoid of any emotion, as if he were pronouncing the fate of everyone.
"I want this."
With a single sentence, the death sentence was pronounced on all living beings in this place.
Although the old demon Jin Xian was filled with resentment, he could only suppress it forcibly. He knew very well that if he dared to utter even a single word of dissent, he would be annihilated in the next second.
The other creatures didn't dare utter a sound, all lowering their heads for fear of being noticed by this powerful being.
Just as Niu Ben was about to enter the valley and take the treasure...
An ancient voice, filled with boundless majesty and contempt, descended from the heavens without warning, resounding throughout the entire world.
"How dare a mere little calf speak so arrogantly here!"
The moment the voice fell, a vast pressure, ten or even a hundred times more terrifying than Niu Ben, suddenly descended!
The sky darkened instantly!
It wasn't just dark clouds obscuring the sun; it was truly pitch black!
A colossal figure, whose size defies description, slowly emerged from the clouds, blotting out the sun and casting endless shadows as if it would completely devour the world!
It was a ferocious behemoth with a jet-black body, two wings on its back, and a single horn on its head!
Its eyes, like two blood-red suns, coldly gazed down at the tiny, dust-like bull below.
Demon King!
Great Golden Immortal!
