Chapter 2054 - 2051: Aren’t You a Bit Too Confident?

The most important treasure in the Netherworld is the Three-Life Stone.

In the past, countless factions waged wars to seize the Three-Life Stone; even the Painting Saint and the Netherworld Emperor engaged in fierce battles, turning the entire Netherworld into countless battlefields. These battlefields later became what we know as the Nether Ruins.

Now, in this D-level Battlefield of the Heavenly Nether Domain, there are actually fragments of the Three-Life Stone.

Everyone’s eyes turned red; what they wanted could not compare to the Three-Life Stone Fragment. Once in possession of it, it was akin to owning immense power. Regardless of physique or talent, they all appeared insignificant before the Three-Life Stone Fragment.

"These people, they’re all opponents."

Xu Wendong swept his gaze across those present. Besides the people from the Heavenly Nether Sect and Divine Yin Hall, all other faction’s disciples were from the Da Yin Dynasty. Each of them had formidable cultivation levels, and dealing with them would be challenging.

However, Xu Wendong had the Sword Array; he could trap these people.

And even kill them.

"Everyone can tell; this is a fragment of the Three-Life Stone. There’s no one who doesn’t want to obtain it," Li Jiayin said with a bitter smile. Even she could recognize what it was, so naturally, others wouldn’t mistake it.

In front of the Three-Life Stone Fragment, everyone had only one thought.

Kill everyone else and get it.

"Why hasn’t anyone moved yet?" Zhao Ying’er asked curiously.

The Three-Life Stone Fragment was right there; why hadn’t anyone stepped forward?

Was everyone afraid to act recklessly?

"There’s a restriction on the altar. It hasn’t been lifted yet, so it’s impossible to get through," Li Jiayin explained.

She pointed towards the edge of the altar.

There lay a corpse.

Earlier, someone had tried to approach the altar under everyone’s watchful eyes, but was blasted to death by a terrifying soul power from within the altar.

This was why no one dared to approach blindly.

"Only when the restriction dissipates can you charge in. Look at the sky above the altar; there’s an array pattern. Once that array pattern disappears, you can rush in," Loli pointed out, and everyone looked up.

Indeed, there was an array pattern in the sky.

"Soon, everyone will probably fight to seize it; the pressure is immense," Zhao Ying’er said somewhat nervously.

Those disciples from major forces of the Da Yin Dynasty were very strong. If they acted, Heavenly Nether Sect’s people would probably have no chance.

Only Xu Wendong had the ability to deal with them.

"Oh dear, why hasn’t my Imperial Family arrived yet? It would be great if they came; I would make them help you, Brother Lin Mo, to seize the Three-Life Stone Fragment," Zhu Xuan said somewhat grumblingly.

Zhao Ying’er showed a teasing smile.

The members of the Imperial Family were long dead and couldn’t help at all.

Even if they came, they’d probably make moves against Xu Wendong, not help him seize the Three-Life Stone.

"If we split into two factions, neither of us will get the Three-Life Stone Fragment; Li Jiayin, we need to work together now," Loli clearly understood the situation. Facing other factions, they in the Heavenly Nether Domain were no match.

Only by cooperating might there be a glimmer of hope.

Li Jiayin nodded, then looked at Xu Wendong.

"Junior Brother, I’ll hold off the others outside with the people from Divine Yin Hall; take the opportunity to seize the Three-Life Stone Fragment."

"Take the chance if you can; if not, keep yourself safe."

Li Jiayin was sensible, not losing her mind to the temptation of the Three-Life Stone Fragment. The treasure must be seized if possible, but not at all costs.

They were, after all, from the Heavenly Nether Domain, their overall power truly couldn’t compare to the major forces of the Da Yin Dynasty.

"Don’t worry, I won’t act recklessly," Xu Wendong said with a smile, patting Li Jiayin’s shoulder, reassuring her.

At this moment, the array pattern above the altar suddenly dissipated.

A gust of wind came from the altar, stirring up dust.

At the same time, people from all factions moved, their eyes flashing with ferocity as they immediately made their moves.

"Quick!" Li Jiayin shouted, and Loli also waved her hand.

Disciples of the Divine Yin Hall and Heavenly Nether Sect all knew that only by joining forces could they seize the Three-Life Stone Fragment, pairing up ready to directly block the others.

Xu Wendong quickly darted out at that moment.

In just a moment, he was already on the altar.

At the same time, the twin sisters from Joyful Holy Land were already by Xu Wendong’s side.

"Little brother, this isn’t something you can take," the shorter woman said with a cheerful smile, holding a small knife, slashing it towards Xu Wendong’s neck.

The taller woman took out a scythe, slashing it down hard at Xu Wendong’s nape.

This set of movements was so smooth, it was clearly practiced to perfection.

"Clang!"

With a loud clang, Xu Wendong blocked both attacks, one hand holding a knife, the other an axe.

The two women were surprised, as no one had ever blocked their attack before, yet Xu Wendong succeeded.

"Little brother, you’re really quite strong," the shorter woman said with a sweet smile, her face exceedingly pretty.

But Xu Wendong was not caught off guard, immediately reversing the axe in his hand and slashing it towards her.

"No one can take the Three-Life Stone Fragment from my hands!"

With those words, a surge of axe energy was released, causing the short woman to narrow her eyes; she hadn’t expected the axe to be so fierce.

Meanwhile, people from the Wind Thunder Pavilion had already made their move on the other side.

With a proud look, he said, "No one can take it from your hands? You’re too confident, aren’t you?"

"You’re just a bumpkin, yet you dare to show off in front of us."

After saying this, he’d already reached into the well of the altar.

He was going to grab the Three-Life Stone Fragment!

But at this moment, Leng Shan arrived, holding a large knife and slashing fiercely.

With one strike, dust swirled, and the person from Wind Thunder Pavilion withdrew his arm; otherwise, that swing could have cut it off.

"Leng Shan, do you dare to fight me for it?"

The proud man angrily shouted.

"Jiang Bufan, do you really think you can steal away under everyone’s nose?" Leng Shan said with a mocking smile, "You people from the Wind Thunder Pavilion truly like sneaky tricks. Even when you’re called out, you won’t admit it. If you’re capable, then come at us head-on."

Such arrogant words ignited Jiang Bufan’s rage.

He drew a long spear and instantly attacked Leng Shan.

Seeing this, Xu Wendong immediately moved to seize the Three-Life Stone Fragment.

But in the next moment, the taller woman swung the scythe down harshly.

"What a bother!"

Xu Wendong frowned, drawing his large sword to block the strike.

With a clang, sparks flew.

A fierce melee quickly erupted.

On the altar, five experts struck simultaneously, each with their own target; the twin sisters from Joyful Holy Land attacked Xu Wendong together, while Leng Shan faced off against Jiang Bufan.

The rest were held off outside by the Heavenly Nether Sect and Divine Yin Hall.

"Lin Mo, now’s your chance!"

Zhu Xuan shouted, darting forward like a ghost!
