As the Blood River Lord charged into the Hall of Three Immortals, he was greeted by a blank whiteness. The entirety of the Hall of Three Immortals was engulfed in fog.

Through the clouds, one could see countless jade pillars, shrouded in violet clouds and radiating rainbow glows. There were even five-clawed golden dragons curled up on the pillars. In the distance, the palace roofs were topped by blue-green ceramic tiles, and various exotic beasts decorated the flying eaves, the fog seeming to flow off them like waterfalls.

Besides the three major halls, there were also several small halls scattered about the complex. They were connected by bridges made of white jade, and as the wind blew away the fog, it was revealed that beneath those bridges was an empty void.

Plants and flowers were planted in the clearings of the palace complex.

These plants were growing in the clouds, and the clouds that served to hold them would become Cloud Mud. These were all spiritual plants, and the medicines made from them were bound to be the best of the best.

There was even a gentle rain, its source unknown, wetting the clouds and dripping from the ceramic tiles.

The several dozen Blood River avatars shared a glance, and then they split up.

A Blood River avatar was walking along when the clouds suddenly rolled back, revealing a tusked, golden-armored man wielding two hammers of violet gold.

That man looked at the Blood River avatar and swung a hammer without a word.

The Blood River Lord grunted, and crimson light flowed out, turning into a blood river that engulfed the hammer, which was soon lost in the waters.

The armored man said nothing, simply swinging his other hammer. The Blood River Lord’s eyes flashed as he reached out a hand, and the hammer was stopped cold, unable to go any farther. The Blood River Lord snorted. “Trash!”

He thrust out a finger, and the hammer shattered, after which that fingertip fell on the armored man. The golden-armored man swayed a few times, and then his body exploded into metal shrapnel—it had been a puppet.

While the Blood River Lord had seemingly disposed of the puppet very easily, it had actually been very tough and powerful, enough to hold down a Heart Demon True Person. Thus, after destroying the puppet with a finger, the Blood River Lord’s complexion had grown slightly lighter.

This finger thrust had expended a great deal of energy.

But the Blood River Lord continued his rapid advance.

He understood that Divine Genesis made it so that there was actually no end to the puppets in the Hall of Three Immortals. At certain intervals, more puppets would be created within the Hall of Three Immortals to protect everything within it. Thus, just getting past the sword light outside the hall didn’t guarantee one’s safety inside.

It was just that these defenses, from the Blood River Lord’s perspective, were still rather weak. As he advanced, several more puppets appeared, wielding hammers, sabers, and spears. They swung their weapons at him, but the Blood River Lord easily tore them apart and obliterated them.

Seething waves of blood cloaked the several dozen Blood River Lords as they advanced. Following in their wake would actually save one some strength.

But the sight of the Blood River Lord pushing unstoppably through all opposition left the representatives stunned.

At this time, a Soul Transformation avatar was walking toward one of the side halls when a white tiger suddenly blocked his path.

Upon closer inspection, one would realize that this wasn’t a white tiger, but a tiger that had been carved from white jade, white only because of the stone that it was made from.

A stone monster!

Wherever Divine Genesis was located, all things would be blessed, so even jade could gain intelligence and become a monster.

The stone tiger roared and charged at the Blood River Lord, its paws stirring up powerful gales.

The Blood River Lord waved a hand, but a single palm failed to break the tiger, and he ended up being pushed back. From this, he concluded that the stone tiger had probably been intelligent for a long time and had already entered Soul Transformation,so its body was as tough as diamond and impervious to spell arts and treasures. This avatar was at Soul Transformation, so it had drawn over Soul Transformation monsters.

But all that means is that I have to spend a little more effort, the Blood River Lord proudly thought to himself.

He was about to activate the Blood Sea Divine Connection to destroy the stone tiger when the fog in the distance churned, and a lightning-clawed gray wolf, a giant ape, and an iron-skinned bull appeared. ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by ovl_Fir.et

These three beasts were also made from jade, and they were also at the Soul Transformation Tier. They turned to the Blood River Lord and immediately charged at him.

The Blood River Lord felt slightly annoyed, and he was no good in a one-versus-four, so he immediately sent out a mental command, upon which several avatars in the area came to his rescue.

Situations like this happened all around the Hall of Three Immortals.

It wasn’t just the Blood River Lord. The representatives who came in after him were also unable to avoid these encounters. There were all kinds of various rare existences charging out of the clouds, from intelligent monsters to powerful puppets, and even some treasures that could transform.

A Transformation stone monster came under attack by three representatives, and after a struggle, it died with a miserable wail, turning into a pile of debris. A representative with sharp eyes noticed something shining in the stone and hastily picked it up. He found that it was a jade marrow and said in delight, “Monster marrow! It’s monster marrow!”

A giant wolf howled as it flew through the air, but in the end, under the concerted attacks of the representatives, it exploded into a puff of smoke. But this smoke didn’t dissipate, instead flying back into a snuff bottle. Someone then discovered that this was a divine treasure called the Wolf Snuff Bottle, and it could release a powerful Smoke Wolf to aid one in battle.

A coiled golden dragon was brought down by a group, and the sharp-eyed and swift-footed Liu Qianyi got ahead of everyone, finding that what had fallen into her hand was a Golden Dragon Flute divine treasure. It could play a draconic song that intimidated souls and could also turn into a powerful dragon and strike.

More and more treasures appeared in these battles. These had originally been part of the defenses of the Hall of Three Immortals, and they were influenced by Divine Genesis into attacking everyone who entered, revealing their true forms only upon their defeat.

Everyone went crazy.

They attacked every creature that they saw flying through the air, attacked everything they could attack, trying to see if any valuable treasures would reveal themselves. And the more difficult to deal with a creature was, the more powerful the treasure it represented.

For this reason, the representatives welcomed these attacks.

The standouts here were undoubtedly Xuan Gui, Liu Qianyi, and Na Shan’s group. Xuan Gui was at the Soul Transformation Tier, the highest level of cultivation among them, and so while he came under the strongest attacks, he also received treasures of the best quality. Moreover, as a black turtle, his strongest point was defense, and seizing treasures while under heavy assault was his specialty. As for Liu Qianyi, while her charming arts had no effect on Tang Jie, charming arts were something that either had no effect or wondrous effect, so they were quite effective against other people. Quite a few men were converted by her seductive gaze and began to do as she said. Even those with stronger resolve couldn’t help but waver under Liu Qianyi’s charming arts, becoming momentarily distracted. While this wasn’t enough for them to fall in battle, it often meant that they missed their chance and could only watch as Liu Qianyi seized the treasure. As for Na Shan’s group, even though they were missing one of their members for their Minor Five Elements Combat Formation, they were still able to use some of its power, and the overwhelming power was enough for them to get quite a few decent treasures.

But all of their gains put together couldn’t compare to those of the Blood River Lord!

Several dozen Blood River avatars ran freely through the Hall of Three Immortals, seizing all the treasure they could take.

Upon encountering any formidable existence, the Blood River Lord would use his powerful Divine Connection to destroy it in a single strike.

His strength was much higher than those of the same level, a single Heart Demon avatar able to go toe-to-toe against Na Shan’s group. Now that there were thirty of them and four Soul Transformation avatars, they were so strong that one could only sigh in wonder.

The Blood River Lord’s figure could be seen everywhere, and with every flash of crimson light or gout of blood, another treasure would fall into his hands. These avatars were all mentally connected, and their teamwork was perfect. If any of them ran into trouble, several avatars would rush to their aid and swiftly dispatch the foe, after which they would withdraw and go back to their own business. Let alone talking, they didn’t even need to exchange glances. Their teamwork was simply immaculate.

Thus, the Blood River Lord dominated the Hall of Three Immortals, being everywhere and taking all the treasures.

This conduct infuriated the representatives.

He had already angered everyone by forcing his way in and ignoring the rules, but this group was so powerful that they could only stomach their rage. But now, he was helping himself so freely to all the treasure that they just couldn’t stand it anymore.

Hei Yan sent a black dragon flame at a large yellow bird made of sand. It let out a shriek and fell to the floor, where it became a zither. Hei Yan was just about to take it when a Blood River avatar appeared in a flash of crimson, taking the zither and disappearing.

“My Sand Phoenix Zither!” Hei Yan cried out.

But the Blood River Lord had completely ignored him, vanishing without a word.

“Bastard!” At the same time, Reverend Xuan Gui shouted in anger.

One of his treasures had just been stolen by the Blood River Lord.

“Raaa!” There was another mighty roar as another Soul Transformation fiend expert shot a beam of light at the Blood River Lord. This fiend was a black bear with a violent temper, so when the Blood River Lord stole his things, he even dared to attack the Blood River Lord.

But the Blood River Lord simply dodged the attack and disappeared, paying the fiend no mind.

In his eyes, these representatives were all trash. If not for the Celestial Flame Pagoda, he would have killed them all long ago.

As the Blood River Lord’s avatars flew around and seized treasures, they took the treasures into their bodies. The Blood River flowed within these avatars, and so even though the Blood River Lord had seemingly created various individual avatars, they were all connected as if there existed an underground river. When a treasure entered the body of an avatar, the surging Blood River would send the treasure through some spatial spell to the body of a specific Soul Transformation avatar.

These treasures would then emerge from that avatar’s body. By this bizarre method, the treasures were all gathered in one spot.

This avatar was also the only avatar who didn’t participate in the contest for treasure.

He advanced firmly and steadily, his eyes gleaming with expectation and greed.

Finally, he arrived in front of a small building.

This hall was unremarkable, the most unremarkable among all the numerous halls in the Hall of Three Immortals. Inside the hall was an incense burner, behind which was a statue.

The statue was of a white and chubby old man, like a laughing Buddha, holding a fishing rod in his hand.

The Blood River Lord stood in front of the statue and muttered, “We finally meet again, Celestial Hook, my old friend.”
