102. Choosing

“Kill me? Hah! Let's see if you're even qualified!”

At this moment, Chen Xuan had used various methods to elevate his cultivation to the Samsara Realm.

With additional techniques.

He could now contend with a King-tier alien demon at the Reincarnation Realm, the Heavenly Nether King!

He might even…

Have a chance to injure him.

However…

To be safe, he glanced at the system interface.

Currently, he had over 10,000 emotion points.

The shop didn’t offer anything that could directly kill the Heavenly Nether King.

The soul slaves within the Ten Thousand Souls Banner also couldn't likely kill him.

Therefore…

He directly opened the system’s lottery interface.

"System, ten draw!"

Take a gamble, and a bike might turn into a motorcycle! Ding! Congratulations, host, for obtaining the martial art, Great Desolation Palm.

Ding! Congratulations, host, for obtaining the Buddha's Fire Lotus.

“???”

Wait, you're not giving me the different flames.

How am I supposed to create the Fire Lotus?

Am I supposed to make it out of thin air?

Chen Xuan could only sigh.

Ding! Congratulations, host, for obtaining Earth-level battle skill, Flame Splitting Wave Ruler.

Ding! Congratulations, host, for obtaining the Nine Secret Words, the 'All' Secret.

Ding! Congratulations, host, for obtaining the divine item, Time Stopping Divine Talisman (Fragmented)!

…

Soon, a series of system rewards appeared in front of him.

His eyes focused on two items in particular.

Nine Secret Words, the 'All' Secret: The user can instantly boost their combat strength by ten times.

Time Stopping Divine Talisman (Fragmented): Can immobilize an opponent for three seconds. The greater the power difference between the user and opponent, the shorter the immobilization! (Note: Cooldown time is ten days.)

This was practically a divine artifact!

Chen Xuan didn’t hesitate and activated the ‘All’ Secret.

He boosted his strength again, reaching close to the Reincarnation Realm.

The Heavenly Nether King suddenly noticed Chen Xuan's aura rising again, and his expression instantly changed!

If he was 100% confident of victory before, now it was only 50%!

He’d learned from the remnant soul of the Ninth King that Chen Xuan possessed not only strength-enhancing secrets but also the Devouring and Dark Ancestral Symbols.

Even the Ancestral Stone was with him!

So many things that countered alien demons.

A chill of fear ran through the Heavenly Nether King.

Ding! The Heavenly Nether King feels fear and a desire to flee. Emotion Points +999.

"Retreat!"

The Heavenly Nether King made a swift decision, shouting out loud.

Hearing his order, Zheng Zhong and the others quickly nodded.

Even the Heavenly Nether King was retreating.

They weren’t foolish either.

Endless demonic energy surged out of the Heavenly Nether King's body.

With a flap of his demonic wings, sky split open, revealing a black fissure!

"Trying to escape? Too late!"

Chen Xuan tapped on the Devouring Ancestral Symbol in his collection.

In an instant, a terrifying suction force emerged from his palm.

Forming a vortex, it pulled Zheng Zhong and the others into it.

“Damn it!”

The Heavenly Nether King roared in anger.

Ding! The Dark King feels anger. Emotion Points +999.

Seeing the situation turning against him, he reached out with his demonic claws, pulling Zheng Zhong and the others to his side.

Then, he struck toward Chen Xuan, hoping to interrupt him.

Buying himself a chance to escape!

"Time Stop!"

A calm voice slipped from Chen Xuan's lips.

In that instant! A strange power rippled out from the Time Stopping Divine Talisman.

Like ripples in water, it spread instantly.

The next moment.

The entire ancient battlefield fell silent.

Everyone’s expressions froze.

Only Chen Xuan could move.

In a flash, he appeared behind the Heavenly Nether King and, with blinding speed, severed the Heavenly Nether King's head.

Then, he used the Ten Thousand Souls Banner to collect his soul.

Just as he finished doing this.

The time-stopping effect wore off.

“Look! The Devil King has been decapitated!”

“Oh my gosh, who did it?”

“It’s Chen Xuan! Look, his sword is still dripping with blood!”

“What? How did he do that in the blink of an eye?”

“He’s incredible!”

…

Not only were the Nirvana Realm disciples astonished, but even Ling Qingzhu, Qi Lei, and others were shocked!

A cultivator at the Profound Life Realm, able to instantly kill a Reincarnation Realm devil!

How…how was that possible?

With the Heavenly Nether King's death, the black rift closed, and the demonic energy prison he created crumbled to dust.

Those who had been trapped were finally freed.

Once out, they all turned on Zheng Zhong and his followers.

“Zheng Zhong, you traitor, time to meet your end!”

“You from the Western Xuan Region, have you all been corrupted by these demons?”

“Die! Don’t come back in your next life as a demon’s lackey!”

With Qi Lei and the others attacking in a frenzy, Zheng Zhong and his group were killed on the spot, their souls completely obliterated with no chance of revival.

“Young brother Chen Xuan, we owe this victory to you. I suggest we declare you the champion of this event—no objections, right?” Lu Feng announced, though his expression looked a bit uneasy.

He had his own motives for this, too.

Qi Lei raised his hand enthusiastically. “I’m all for it!”

“I agree…”

“Me too!”

…

Only Ling Qingzhu hadn’t spoken yet. All eyes turned to her.

Ding! Ling Qingzhu experiences shock + disbelief, emotion points +999.

Just as Ling Qingzhu was about to speak, she noticed Chen Xuan staring directly at her, making her feel a chill down her spine.

In the next moment, she disappeared from the area in a flash.

The others didn’t think much of it.

At that point, Qi Lei stepped forward.

“Young brother Chen Xuan, on behalf of the Dao Sect, I sincerely invite you to join us. Name any conditions you want!”

As he finished speaking, a swordsman from the Sword Sect added, “Our Sword Sect not only has supreme swordsmanship, but the female disciples are also quite charming.”

Then, an elder from Great Precipice Cave chimed in, taking out a portrait: “Heh heh, young friend, take a look at Song Yan from our sect. Not satisfied? We have others…”

After that, representatives from other sects like the Symbol Valley and Divine Sect followed suit, all using beautiful disciples to entice Chen Xuan to join.

“You guys have no shame! Using beauties to recruit talented disciples? I’m embarrassed for you!” Lu Feng’s mouth twitched in exasperation.

There were too many competitors!

His chances of winning Chen Xuan over were shrinking.

After all, he really wanted that secret technique!

The swordsman from the Sword Sect chuckled, “Lu Feng, if you’re upset, you could use the same tactic!”

“You…shameless!”

Lu Feng shouted angrily.

Qi Lei ignored this. “Young friend Chen Xuan, I am Qi Lei, Palace Master of Dao Sect’s Sky Hall. Our sect has no shortage of talented female disciples…”

The group began arguing again, as if haggling in a marketplace.

The commotion was overwhelming.

Some of the other participants looked on in awe, envy filling their eyes.

When would they get fought over like this?

They could die without regrets if it ever happened!

“Esteemed seniors, I appreciate the offers, but I already have an answer in mind,” Chen Xuan interrupted.

They all looked at him expectantly, waiting for his decision.
