“Look over there!”

“An altar! It’s an altar!”

There was an uproar as the agitated crowd watched an ancient altar rise from beneath the four stone pillars.

This altar was extremely old. Clouds and ancient beasts had been carved onto its exterior, but these were now mottled and damaged.

The altar immediately drew everyone’s attention.

“Let’s go and take a look!”

To the southwest, the Bone Devil Ancestor’s eyes flashed as he lunged toward the mysterious altar. He was closely followed by the Black Yin Ancestor, the Myriad Ghost Ancestor, the Lone Silence Ancestor, the Four Ends Martial Lord, and all the other martial artists. A great flood of people was converging on the center of the formation.

The altar’s surroundings were soon packed with martial artists.

Wang Chong and the Demonic Emperor Old Man, walking side by side, were the last to arrive.

At the center of the altar, between the four pillars, was a round pillar of bronze. The moment Wang Chong and the Demonic Emperor walked onto the altar, everyone looked toward them.

“Demonic Emperor, Young Master Wang, we’re just waiting on you.”

Wang Chong had just stepped onto the altar when the Black Yin Ancestor spoke, his voice as sinister as a venomous snake.

“Young Master, the six map pieces are all with you. The method for opening the treasury is definitely with you as well,” the Lone Silence Ancestor said.

Nearby, Song Yuanyi and Xie Guangting stood together and stared at Wang Chong.

The atmosphere gradually turned strange. Even the Four Ends Martial Lord was staring at Wang Chong, countless thoughts seemingly flitting through his eyes. The thousands of martial artists around the altar were also silently staring at Wang Chong.

“Wang Chong…”

The Formation Elder lightly pulled on Wang Chong’s sleeve, a nervous look on his face.

With the six map pieces found, the precise location of the Origin Immortal Treasury had been exposed, and that atmosphere of teamwork and cooperation had long ago ceased to exist, slowly supplanted by an air of conspiracy and scheming. Even the expression of the surrounding unaffiliated martial artists had begun to change.

And just who could resist the temptation of the Origin Immortal Art and the chance to be the world’s number one?

“Hmph, I’d like to see who is suicidal enough to try anything in front of this old man!” the Demonic Emperor Old Man said in his domineering and imposing voice.

Everyone’s expressions instantly went stiff. Even the likes of Song Yuanyi and Xie Guangting couldn’t help but frown.

A deathly stillness reigned.

Even now, the might of the Demonic Emperor could still terrorize the people of the martial arts world.

“Hmph, Demonic Emperor, so many people are watching. You and your disciple don’t plan on playing some sort of trick to take everything for yourselves, right?”

The Black Yin Ancestor coldly laughed.

“Everyone, if the Demonic Emperor wants to take the Origin Immortal Art for himself, do we all say yes or no!?”

“NO!”

Everyone called out in unison.

The Lone Silence Ancestor suddenly spoke up. “Everyone, calm down a little. The Origin Immortal Treasury has not been opened. Now is not the time to fight amongst ourselves!”

He turned his head to Wang Chong and the Demonic Emperor.

“Gentlemen, we have managed with great difficulty to obtain all six map pieces. Only the last step is missing. Once the treasury is open, we can test our skills against each other. Demonic Emperor, what do you think?”

The Demonic Emperor said nothing, exchanging a glance with Wang Chong.

“Heh, everyone is overthinking it. Please stand aside and I will open the treasury.”

Wang Chong smiled as he walked forward.

Beneath the calm surface, an undercurrent was surging, but at least for now, they had not resorted to blows.

Everyone watched as Wang Chong slowly walked to the center of the altar and stood before the bronze pillar.

The bronze pillar was about one meter tall and was covered in wavy patterns and complicated inscriptions, even some characters that were older than Bird Seal Script.

There were no mechanisms on the surface of the pillar, so no one understood how this round pillar could be used to open up the Origin Immortal Lord’s treasury.
