Villainous Cao Cao: Inheriting Everything from the Chosen One

213: Obtain the treasure from the ruinsWhen Cao Bu arrived at the entrance of the Yin-Yang Jade Ore Vein ruin...

Only a few hundred scattered Cultivators remained here.

A massive spatial crack hung in mid-air, with Cultivators constantly flying in.

The area around the crack was filled with thick Yin and Yang Spiritual Qi, sometimes transforming into a taiji diagram, sometimes manifesting the scene of the Sun and Moon Shining Together.

”This is the aura of an ancient ruin.”

Cao Bu’s eyes lit up; if the Yin and Yang Spiritual Qi leaking from the entrance was already this thick, wouldn’t the Spiritual Qi inside be even more pure?

He looked around and realized that the original Yin-Yang Jade Ore Vein had already been completely reduced to powder.

”It seems this mine was stripped clean long ago.”

Cao Bu redirected his gaze toward the ruin’s entrance.

Now, all hope could only be placed within this ruin.

Without thinking much, he turned into a streak of light and rushed directly into the spatial crack.

The scene before his eyes changed instantly!

After entering the ruin.

Cao Bu found himself standing on a desolate Ancient Battlefield.

Various broken weapons and skeletal remains were scattered on the ground, and a faint smell of blood permeated the air, which had not dissipated even after endless ages.

”Such pure Yin and Yang Spiritual Qi!”

A look of joy appeared on Cao Bu’s face; if he could Cultivate here for a month, his cultivation would surely Breakthrough once again.

”The concentration of Yin and Yang Spiritual Qi here is ten times that of the outside; it seems the treasures in the ruin are mostly related to Yin and Yang.”

Cao Bu scanned the surroundings with his Divine Sense and found that the Cultivators who had entered were all rushing in the same direction.

There, a towering main hall stood between heaven and earth, exuding a profound aura.

”That’s it.”

Cao Bu’s figure flickered as he deployed his movement technique and flew toward the main hall.

Along the way, he saw many Cultivators fighting fiercely to snatch treasures found by the roadside, blood staining this Ancient Battlefield red.

Cao Bu did not stop; his goal was the Opportunity in the main hall.

Half a quarter-hour later, Cao Bu finally arrived in front of the main hall.

This was a magnificent building a thousand zhang tall, emitting black and white light throughout its body.

The hall doors were wide open, and intense sounds of fighting and screams already came from within.

”It seems someone has already beaten me to it.”

Cao Bu’s eyes narrowed, and he rushed into the hall without hesitation.

The internal space of the hall was much larger than it appeared from the outside, clearly utilizing the spatial Law.

At this time, there were already over a thousand Cultivators in the hall; the weakest were in the Realm King Realm, and the strongest had reached Quasi-Emperor Peak. Everyone was fighting madly to snatch treasures.

In the center of the hall.

A skeleton as crystal clear as jade sat cross-legged on a Lotus Platform.

Three items were placed in front of the Lotus Platform: a Jade Talisman, a Jade Slip, and a strange stone emitting Yin-Yang Two Energies.

”The treasure is mine!”

”That Jade Slip must contain an Emperor Scripture!”

”Grab it!”

The Cultivators had all gone mad; various Moves erupted violently, and the entire hall was instantly submerged in wild energy.

Cao Bu stood at the doorway.

Quietly watching the slaughter of those thousand people in the center of the hall.

Time passed bit by bit.

In the entire hall, finally only four Quasi-Emperor Peaks remained standing.

Blood flowed from their bodies, their auras were weak, and their faces were pale.

They looked at each other warily, none of them being the first to strike.

”Everyone, how about we share it?” a burly man broke the silence and proposed.

The other three were panting heavily, clearly all seriously injured.

After a long silence.

A man who looked like a scholar spoke in a deep voice: ”I agree. If we keep fighting, no one will benefit.”

Hearing this, the other two nodded one after another: ”Then we share.”

”Good, share!”

The next moment.

The four of them turned their heads in unison and looked at Cao Bu at the doorway.

The burly Quasi-Emperor Peak sneered: ”A mere World Venerable thinks he can be the fisherman? In your dreams.”

The scholar Quasi-Emperor Peak said coldly: ”Kid, I’ll give you a chance to live. Leave now, otherwise, die.”

At this time, the Yao Race Quasi-Emperor Peak frowned and said: ”Wait, this kid looks a bit familiar.”

The burly Quasi-Emperor Peak took a step forward, his coarse voice ringing out: ”Who cares if he’s familiar or not? If he doesn’t beat it, he dies!”

After saying that, his Quasi-Emperor Peak aura erupted, and he pointed a finger: ”Kid, beat it!”

The corners of Cao Bu’s mouth curled up slightly as he stepped toward them, simultaneously taking out the ten thousand fragrances paying homage to the phoenix diagram.

Seeing this, the burly Quasi-Emperor Peak instantly became enraged: ”Kid, you’re looking for death!”

Before his voice could fade, his figure flashed, turning into a streak of light as he rushed toward Cao Bu.

Cao Bu softly called out: ”Ruo Dan, come out.”

The next moment.

A flash of light appeared on the ten thousand fragrances paying homage to the phoenix diagram, and Fang Ruodan appeared by Cao Bu’s side.

Simultaneously, the terrifying pressure of a Ninth Level of the Great Emperor Realm instantly enveloped the entire hall!

The burly Quasi-Emperor Peak’s figure froze, his eyes widening in shock: ”Pill... Pill Emperor!”

Hearing this, everyone focused their gaze on Fang Ruodan.

These Quasi-Emperor Peaks basically knew all the Great Emperor powerhouses of the Spirit Realm.

There was no helping it; if they didn’t remember them clearly, it would be over if they accidentally offended one.

For a moment, the expressions of the several people became grave.

Finally, the scholar Quasi-Emperor Peak stepped forward and said: ”Lord Pill Emperor, how about we share it?”

Fang Ruodan looked at Cao Bu: ”Cao Bu, what do you think?”

The four of them looked at Cao Bu simultaneously.

A hint of confusion flashed in their eyes, not understanding why a dignified Great Emperor would consult Cao Bu.

At this time, that Yao Race Quasi-Emperor Peak shouted: ”I said he looked familiar! He’s the Gu Clan Vice Clan Leader, Cao Bu!”

Upon hearing this, the faces of the other three changed in unison.

They stared intently at Cao Bu, only now realizing that his appearance was indeed somewhat familiar.

The Gu Clan Vice Clan Leader—for Cao Bu to take this position with an outsider’s surname.

Was it simple?

It certainly wasn’t!

He was someone they couldn’t afford to provoke, simply couldn’t afford to provoke.

If it were the old Cao Bu, they might not have cared.

But the current Cao Bu could not only Cultivate but had also reached the World Venerable realm.

Adding Pill Emperor Fang Ruodan, the two were clearly together.

Right now, they could only hope the two were willing to share the treasure.

Cao Bu ignored them and spoke indifferently: ”Leave none alive.”

As his voice fell, the air in the hall instantly froze.

The four Quasi-Emperor Peaks’ expressions changed drastically; none of them expected Cao Bu to be so ruthless, not even giving them room to negotiate.

”Cao Bu, don’t push people too far!” the burly Quasi-Emperor Peak roared: ”You’re just a World Venerable. Do you really think you can do whatever you want just by relying on the Pill Emperor? If the four of us risk our lives, don’t think you’ll have it easy either!”

Before he could finish speaking, Fang Ruodan had already appeared beside him.

She raised her fair hand and pressed it lightly toward the burly Quasi-Emperor Peak.

A pure Pill Dao Law rune emerged from her palm, silently imprinting itself onto him.

”No—!”

The burly Quasi-Emperor Peak’s hair stood on end; he tried to circulate his cultivation to escape, but suddenly found himself unable to Move.

That rune landed lightly on his forehead, and his distorted expression instantly froze. Then, his entire body shattered inch by inch, turning into nothingness along with his Primordial Spirit, leaving not even a speck of dust behind.

For a Ninth Level of the Great Emperor Realm to kill a Quasi-Emperor Peak was just a matter of a single thought.

The other three were scared out of their wits with their Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering, where was there even a shred of Battle Intent left?

”Escape separately!”

The scholar Quasi-Emperor Peak screamed hoarsely, and three figures instantly turned into streaks of light, rushing in different directions of the hall.

Fang Ruodan’s face was calm, her steps didn’t Move, she only tapped several times toward the air.

With each tap, a finger force penetrated space, accurately catching up with a Quasi-Emperor Peak.

”Puff!”

”Puff!”

”Puff!”

Three soft sounds in succession, and the three Quasi-Emperor Peaks who dominated their respective regions were wiped out physically and spiritually before they could even scream, vanishing in the air.

The hall fell into an instant, deathly silence.

The residual energy turbulence in the air gradually settled.

”It’s settled.” Fang Ruodan withdrew her pressure and looked at Cao Bu.

Cao Bu nodded and raised his hand to release Zhao Wei and Lin Rou from the ten thousand fragrances paying homage to the phoenix diagram.

”Cao Bu, did you get the treasures in the ruin?” As soon as Zhao Wei came out, she was attracted by the corpses on the ground.

Cao Bu pointed not far away: ”The treasures are over there.”

After saying that, he led the three women to the Lotus Platform.

The three women looked at those three treasures and then at Cao Bu.

Cao Bu picked up the Jade Slip to check.

After his Divine Sense probed inside, a sharp light flashed in his eyes.

”This is an Immortal Rank Cultivation Technique called the ’Yin Yang Sword Sutra’, which of you wants it?”
