Beyond the gate of the hall was a path connected to the White Jade Avenue Several people stood atop the White Jade Avenue. Liu Wenyan and Hong Tan were looking around cautiously. Far away from them, Mo Duona and Blood Fire Devil King stood. Both of them were aware that Hong Tan and Liu Wenyan were there as well. Standing further away from them was Endless Passage of the fate race. Su Yu had not bothered about his disappearance earlier. Surprisingly, he had appeared here. Someone else stood there as well. He wore a half-golden mask. This would be a familiar mask to Su Yu as the half-gold mask signified that this was an enforcer elder of the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion, also a Pseudo Invincible. There were nine elders in the Enforcement Unit of the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion. The first elder was an Invincible. The third and eighth elders had died. The elder here was one of the few surviving elders. Not far away, a golden and dazzling old man stood alone. The old man was grinning, showcasing his golden teeth. This was a subordinate of the Bountiful Treasure General, someone from the Allheaven Treasure House. Seven of them had entered the eighth level. All of them were looking solemn. That was especially true for Blood Fire Devil King, who was standing there with a dark expression. The others were surprised to see him here. Wasn't he supposed to be fighting over the skylotus on the seventh level? What was he doing here? Sure, one could gain a lot from the eighth level. But it was also extremely dangerous here. One could easily die here. It was normal for weaker individuals like them to take a bet here. But it would be abnormal for Invincibles to take this bet. That was even more so for a ninth-degree Eternal. It would be stupid for someone to come here. The benefits they could gain at the outer zone of the level were too insignificant. But the benefits at the inner zone were too dangerous for them to take. They were better off staying on the seventh level and fighting over the skylotus. Blood Fire Devil King had arrived not long ago. He had been standing there with a cold and indifferent expression since arriving. He did not try to attack anyone. After all, he had lost two bodies, sustained heavy injuries on his one remaining body, and sustained heavy damage to his sea of willpower. He was still strong enough to deal with several Pseudo Invincibles even with such heavy injuries. But he might no longer be the strongest expert present. The strongest expert present could very well be Endless Passage of the fate race. An expert at the same level of September and the others. Blood Fire Devil King had forgotten about him, but he had surprisingly entered the eighth level as well. Blood Fire Devil King was not too worried about the others. He did not spare much attention to Mo Duona either. Mo Duona had gone missing right at the start of the battle. After noticing that he didn't stand much chance at snatching the skylotus, he had entered the eighth level. At the moment, everyone was locked at a standstill here. This was their first time here. All of them were unfamiliar with this place. Thus, none of them dared to move around rashly. Here, any mistake could kill them. Nobody said anything. The arrival of Blood Fire Devil King caused the others to grow even more alert. They all wondered about the seventh level. What happened there? Did Blood Fire Devil King win the skylotus? Was he injured? His aura felt weak. It was clear he was injured. Did he fail? Or did he flee here after succeeding? Naturally, Liu Wenyan and Hong Tan were the most nervous of all. They had been here for a day. But they had not dared to go far. Suddenly, the power of time flickered in Endless Passage's eyes as he said, "Lord Blood Fire, do not use force lightly here. This is the location of the ancient assembly. It is filled with the power of the laws. Using force might trigger the power of the laws easily." Blood Fire Devil King said, "Endless Passage, I don't need your guidance." He did not bother to spare the others much attention, including the two humans. He hated the humans, but the eighth level was too dangerous for him to try anything. In any case, he also wanted to hide the extent of his injuries. Thus, he had refrained from doing anything. He could still scare the others by being there, but the moment he exposed his actual condition, things might grow dangerous. Even now, some lingering fears from the events on the seventh level remained in his mind. He had nearly died. Su Yu and the others might still be alive. That terrifying existence was likely someone lured out by Su Yu. And Su Yu was not the type to kill himself just to kill his enemy. Thus, it was likely that Su Yu and his companions were all alive. Blood Fire Devil King was determined to go deeper into the eighth level and find a safe place to recuperate. At the very least, he had to go before the others arrived. But after arriving, he had changed his mind. As crimson light flickered in his eyes, a token appeared. That was his token of identity. With the token in hand, he looked around and studied the power of laws in the air. This place was extremely dangerous for someone without a correct identity. He did not stay for long. After looking around, he walked along the White Jade Avenue, making sure to stick to the very edge of the path. He had entered with the identity of a deputy general. His status was even lower than that of an untitled general. Here, the Human Emperor held the highest status with his first-grade authority. Culture king and Martial King were both holders of the second-grade authority. The Pseudo Emperors and other human kings were holders of the third-grade authority. Marquises enjoyed the fourth-grade authority while titled generals enjoyed the fifth-grade authority. Untitled generals enjoyed the sixth-grade authority. As a deputy general, Blood Fire Devil King was similar to Lan Tian. He had the seventh-grade authority. There were two more grades below them. Those below the ninth grade would not be qualified to enter the eighth level. Here, the seventh-grade authority wasn't too low. It was right in between the rulers and the ruled. Even someone with the seventh-grade authority would be considered a big shot outside the mansion. Su Yu's identity as the mayor of Grand Dream City was not enough to grant him the fourth-grade authority. Even the old turtle only enjoyed the fifth-grade authority back then. But thanks to the Culture Tomb, Su Yu had been granted the fourth-grade authority. Evidently, the guardian of the Culture Tomb was considered someone as important as a marquis during the ancient past. According to what Blood Fire Devil King knew, he was not allowed to enter the areas three grades above him. For example, he was not allowed to enter the area reserved for marquises. However, he could freely enter the area reserved for the titled generals. As for Su Yu, he did not have enough authority to enter the ninth level. Without an official summon, he couldn't enter the Myriad Realm Palace either. Only those of sufficient authority could enter that place. But other than the palace, he could enter most of the areas on the eighth level. Naturally, Su Yu was unaware of all that. He was still too young. He had not gotten the chance to educate himself in the affairs of the ancient past before this. Blood Fire Devil King walked as the crimson light flickered in his eyes. When he walked past Liu Wenyan and Hong Tan, a faint murderous intent rose from his body. Instantly, Liu Wenyan's expression changed. His aura surged to the peak ninth-stage Sunmoon Realm in the blink of an eye. Yes. He was relying on a character. The final Ye Batian's character he had on him. He had previously detonated all his remaining characters, but he had also given one to Wu Jia before. To enter the eighth level, he had retrieved the character from Wu Jia to ensure his safety. But he did not intend to actually use it. He knew that even with this character, Blood Fire Devil King could still kill him easily. However, he would not accept the fate of dying without fighting. He was prepared to provoke the heavenly laws and get Blood Fire Devil King to die alongside him. Noticing what Liu Wenyan was planning, Blood Fire Devil King cursed inwardly. If he were at his peak, would he be afraid of this? The heavenly laws at the mere outer part of the eighth level were incapable of harming him. Alas, he was no longer at his peak. Thus, he could only sigh and ignore the lunatic. He wasn't even thinking of killing Liu Wenyan. What was this madman doing? Provoking the heavenly laws would force him to expose his condition. As a ninth-degree Eternal, the others might start targeting his sea of willpower and his treasures in his weakened state. He decided to leave promptly. Liu Wenyan might be Su Yu's teacher, and Blood Fire Devil King had been reduced to such a state due to Su Yu, but this wasn't important enough for him to risk his life. Thus, he merely snorted, "Ridiculous." With a look of disdain, he walked away. How childish. Would a ninth-degree Eternal like him bicker with a mere Sunmoon? How laughable. With that, Liu Wenyan exhaled in relief. This was so damn dangerous. That was so scary. He did not dare to say anything. That was a super expert comparable to the strongest human alive. Liu Wenyan might be arrogant, but he wasn't arrogant enough to provoke such an existence. When Blood Fire Devil King was gone, everyone exhaled in relief. A super expert like Blood Fire Devil King had actually spared them due to his arrogance. How lucky. Just then, someone pushed the nearby gate open. It was Lan Tian. But nobody recognized this clone of his. They all looked at him curiously. Who was this? There was no helping it. Lan Tian had too many faces. He also had too many auras. It was hard to determine who he was just by looking at him. When Lan Tian saw the others, he blanked out slightly. But soon, he giggled and said, "Hey! My sweeties! So you're all here? Where's Blood Fire? Where's my cute little Blood Fire?" Lan Tian. They finally knew who he was. Liu Wenyan exhaled in relief and hurriedly asked, "Senior Lan..." Lan Tian looked at them and asked, "Oh, you're here? Where's Blood Fire? Did you see him?" "Oh...that guy was quite heavily injured. He sure is good at running. Looks like I need to look around for him. I need to kill him before doing anything else." That stunned everyone. Killing Blood Fire Devil King? Killing a super expert like that? Lan Tian grinned and asked, "Yes? Is there a problem with that? Endless Passage, you're actually strong enough to kill him now. He has less than one percent of his original strength remaining. He's as good as dead." Endless Passage blanked out slightly. When he recalled how Blood Fire Devil King had acted earlier, he asked, "He's injured? What happened on the seventh level?" Lan Tian laughed and said, "It sure was fun there. Let's see...hmmm...about thirty Invincibles have died so far..." Everyone blanked out. Wasn't that near the total number of Invincibles in the mansion? How was that possible? The elder from the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion asked, "What about the department head..." "Him?" Lan Tian laughed, "Dead, I guess. I'm not sure. Either he's dead or crippled or here or in the Death Realm. I don't know, but I sure know things were terrible for him earlier..." Their hearts thumped. Even Mo Duona couldn't resist asking, "Did Su Yu do that?" Well, that was rude. Su Yu, who was pretending to be shadow, was rendered speechless. Why was Little Mo saying that? Little Mo seemed to have misunderstood him as a person. That was a ninth-degree Eternal. How was he supposed to kill someone like that? Su Yu sank into thought. Should he kill everyone here? Mo Duona, pavilion elder, fate, and the guy from the Allheaven Treasure House. Should he kill them all? It shouldn't be too hard, right? Endless Passage was strong, but he was probably slightly weaker. But Endless Passage would most likely be as strong as Xia Longwu prior to dao affirmation. Or even stronger. Someone wouldn't be easy to kill. As for the other two, Su Yu did not foresee any trouble killing them. Mo Duona was probably still in possession of a teleportation talisman. He would most likely flee at the first sight of trouble. "I can kill the two guys from the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion and Allheaven Treasure House. Are they regular Pseudo Invincibles?" Su Yu started thinking. Things would be much simpler with fewer survivors around.
