The Black Yin Ancestor instantly scowled, his heart shivering . They might have had a chance before, but now that Wang Chong was recovering his energy, this hope had become tiny .

Cough, cough!

At this moment, coughing came from the distance, an ordinary cough that would have been ignored at any other time . But at this time, from this direction… Everyone immediately turned to look . Even Wang Chong raised an eyebrow as he turned his head .

The coughing was coming from the direction of the passage, and it was followed by a weak and derisive voice .

“Heh, you think you’ve won, don’t you?”

The area suddenly became much quieter . Even though Wang Chong’s formidable strike had seemingly killed all the men in black, a fish had still managed to escape the net .

“The Tiger Immortal!”

The Black Yin Ancestor grimaced, and fear appeared in his eyes . They had all seen the Tiger Immortal’s power, and even though he sounded extremely weak, just the fact that he was still alive made the hearts of many people grow cold .

The members of the Five Ancestor Alliance who had been greedily eyeing Wang Chong immediately began to back away . Even the Black Yin Ancestor and Myriad Ghost Ancestor quailed, their eyes losing their sharpness .

“Hmph! A bunch of villains!”

Wang Chong glanced in contempt at them before grabbing the Origin Immortal Sword and striding over . After making his way ten-some meters into the passage, Wang Chong finally saw the body of the Tiger Immortal .

A vicious wound across his chest had cut him almost in half, and his organs were exposed .

The Tiger Immortal was on his dying breath, but he was still alive . Wang Chong’s attack that could make gods and devils weep had not been able to instantly kill him .

As he watched Wang Chong get closer and closer, there was no fear in his eyes, only a bizarre smile .

“Hah, you must think that everything is over now that you’ve defeated us . Unfortunately, none of you understand that this is only the beginning . Even if you give your all, none of you will be able to leave this place alive . “

The Tiger Immortal’s voice was tinged with indescribable derision .

Whoooah!

The crowd grimaced, and some of the weaker martial artists even paled .

“This bastard! Even when he’s dying, he still wants to scare us!”

The Black Yin Ancestor’s group was furious .

“You’re not the one who can decide whether we can get out of here alive!”

Wang Chong’s eyes flashed as he coldly laughed and used the Origin Immortal Sword to end the Tiger Immortal’s life .

The Demonic Emperor Old Man suddenly walked forward and sternly said, “Chong-er, this matter isn’t as simple as it seems!”

The Wushang Village Chief ambled forward on his white cane and added, “This scoundrel didn’t seem like he was making a mere threat . “

“Mm! I know!”

Wang Chong nodded .

Unlike the Black Yin Ancestor, he sensed that the Tiger Immortal was not merely trying to frighten them with his dying words .

But for Wang Chong, it wasn’t important whether these words were true or false .

“There’s a way to deal with everything . Regardless of what he means, we just need to be more careful . Besides, everything is over, and only one matter remains now . “

The men in black had been wiped out, so all they needed was to obtain the Origin Immortal Art to bring everything to an end .

Buzz!

Wang Chong opened his hand and drew the Seven-Inch Immortal Axe off the ground in a flash of golden light, taking the Tiger Immortal’s ritual tool as his own .

Everyone saw this, but no one said a word . Not even the Black Yin Ancestor or Bone Devil Ancestor dared to voice an objection .

Wang Chong had defeated the Tiger Immortal, so the spoils were naturally his .

Everything calmed back down now that the battle was over, but no one noticed a pair of eyes staring at Wang Chong .

Thump! As the crowd fell silent, there was a thump of a pair of knees striking the ground in front of Wang Chong .

“The Origin Immortal lineage pays respects to the young patriarch!”

A middle-aged woman, her appearance rather ragged but her eyes still brimming with dignity, had kneeled in front of Wang Chong .

“Paying respects to the young patriarch!”

“Paying respects to the young patriarch!”

The other Origin Immortal Villagers in the back also kneeled behind the middle-aged woman .

Swoosh!

The crowd exploded, and all the martial artists, whether righteous or evil, instantly focused on the Origin Immortal Villagers, particularly the middle-aged woman . All of them clearly recalled that she was their chief .

Strictly speaking, the Origin Immortal Formation from before and this Origin Immortal Cave belonged to them, and they had been controlling everything from behind the scenes .

And for various reasons, they actually had a tense and hostile relationship with the Origin Immortal Villagers .

But after all the twists and turns, no one had expected these people to kneel to Wang Chong and take him as their leader .

“What’s going on? Isn’t the Demonic Emperor’s disciple the Imperial Court’s King of Foreign Lands? Why does he have a connection to these Origin Immortal Villagers?”

Everyone glanced at each other in confusion .

Wang Chong was just as baffled as everyone else .

“Chief, did you make some sort of mistake? I don’t recall having any sort of interaction with your Origin Immortal Villagers before . “

Wang Chong frowned .

“There is no mistake!”

The female chief of the Origin Immortal Villagers shook her head, her eyes falling on the Origin Immortal Sword in Wang Chong’s hands .

“Anyone who can pull out the Origin Immortal Sword is the true master of us Origin Immortal Villagers . This is a law passed down by the ancestors of the Origin Immortal Villagers for generations, carved into stone .

“For a thousand years, no one has ever been able to pull out this divine sword… but that has now changed!”

The Origin Immortal Chief excitedly glanced at Wang Chong .

“After waiting for so long, we Origin Immortal Villagers finally have a true master!”

“Yes, the one who can pull out the Origin Immortal Sword is our true master!”

The other two Origin Immortal Villagers in the back sounded off in agreement, their expressions similarly excited .

Wang Chong exchanged suspicious glances with the Demonic Emperor Old Man and Wushang Village Chief .

They had all experienced the viciousness of the Origin Immortal Villagers . Their Origin Immortal Formation had ended the lives of countless people, but now, they were making Wang Chong their master . All this was simply too absurd .

“…You said before that no one in the last thousand years has ever been able to pull out this sword . The Origin Immortal Cave had all those successors, but was none of them capable of pulling out the sword?”

“No!”

The middle-aged woman shook her head .

“Only those exceptionally talented who can pass the trials of the Origin Immortal Art can become a successor to the Origin Immortal Lord, but only the one who can pull out the sword can be considered the true master of the Origin Immortal Villagers and the entire Origin Immortal Palace!”

“!!!”

Wang Chong’s eyebrows rose in astonishment .

Based on what the Origin Immortal Chief said, pulling out the sword had a very special meaning to the Origin Immortal lineage, and not even the six successors of the Origin Immortal Art had ever been able to pull it out .

An indescribable strangeness took hold of Wang Chong’s mind .

Boom!

But at this moment, a massive boom interrupted Wang Chong’s train of thought .

Wang Chong looked up and saw that several figures were standing in front of the golden barrier around the Origin Immortal Palace and trying to break through .

“These bastards are trying to get the Origin Immortal Art first!” someone shouted, and the crowd instantly roared .

It was obvious that these people had run over to the Origin Immortal Palace while Wang Chong was dealing with the Tiger Immortal in hopes of taking the treasure for themselves .

“Bastards! Anyone who dares to steal from me will be killed by me!”

Countless figures began to charge toward the Origin Immortal Palace .

Those who had reached this place were extremely strong and had endured all kinds of bitter trials, and it had all been for the sake of obtaining the supreme Origin Immortal Art and becoming the world’s number one .

It was said that fortune was found in danger, and many people had lost their lives to become the world’s number one . Now that the treasure was right in front of them, no one could allow anyone else to take it for themselves .

Whoosh!

The sound of clothes snapping in the air could be heard as numerous people made their move .

“Chong-er, this situation is no good!”

The Wushang Village Chief walked up, a worried look in his eyes as he watched the crowd charge at the Origin Immortal Palace .

Unlike the others, these two had not come with Wang Chong over a vast distance so that they could become the world’s number one .

The Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art within Wang Chong’s body was a clear and present danger . Although the Origin Immortal Sword had vanquished the various kinds of Stellar Energy in Wang Chong’s body, it had only treated the symptoms .

If the root of the problem were not cured, Wang Chong would have a fatal weakness: if the Origin Immortal Sword were stolen or lost, Wang Chong would once more fall victim to the cultivation defect .

The only solution to all this was the Origin Immortal Art!

“It’s useless! If the Origin Immortal Art were that easy to obtain, we would have already had countless masters!”

The middle-aged woman stood up, her eyes fixed on the distance as she spoke .
