Chapter 123 – Three-seven split? Saw an acquaintance!

“Is the Secret Realm Ghost Seed in this area?” Ye Sheng’s gaze swept across the entire Black Wasteland.

The Black Wasteland was extremely flat, showing no abnormalities, and there was no sign of the Secret Realm Ghost Seed.

Jiang Wuya nodded, “The Secret Realm Ghost Seed is lying dormant beneath this wasteland. It will only emerge on the surface when it hatches the ancient city. That will be the moment for us to act.”

Ye Sheng frowned, finding it somewhat difficult to understand how the ‘Secret Realm Ghost Seed’ could hatch an ancient city. It sounded rather fantastical.

Jiang Wuya said, “Brother Ye, you must give it your all when the time comes. The other Giant Levels will show no mercy.”

As he spoke, fearing Ye Sheng might be apprehensive, he reassured him, “Don’t worry, with me here, the other Giant Levels won’t be able to harm you. When the time comes, just cooperate with me fully! I can guarantee your safety!

Once we seize the opportunity, we’ll split it 70-30!”

“A 70-30 split?” Ye Sheng smiled.

This 70-30 split naturally meant he would take three parts, while Jiang Wuya would take seven.

Jiang Wuya saw nothing wrong with this, believing his combat power far surpassed Ye Sheng’s. For a bottom-ranked Giant Level like Ye Sheng to receive three parts was already an act of utmost generosity on his part.

…

As the warship approached, the lineups of the various factions became clearer.

Jiang Wuya swept his gaze around and sneered, “As expected, many unfamiliar Giant Level faces have appeared. For this Secret Realm Ghost Seed competition, all sorts of shady characters have come out of the woodwork.”

Ye Sheng also looked.

In front of each faction’s camp, there was a massive ball of light.

Within each ball of light was a mysterious figure, radiating an aura of thousandfold combat power.

The unfamiliar faces Jiang Wuya referred to were some Giant Levels not ranked among the top twenty. Usually lying low, they had now emerged to participate in this competition.

“Jiang Wuya, you’ve come too! Aren’t you afraid of perishing?”

From a massive icy ball of light, as Jiang Wuya’s faction appeared, a cold gaze shot out.

As he spoke, surging icy energy spread in all directions, freezing the ground within a three-mile radius with a thick layer of frost.

Even the members of his own faction had to retreat three miles to avoid the icy aura, fearing they would be turned into Ice Sculptures.

“Old Ghost Dong, if you can come, why can’t I?”

Jiang Wuya was not to be outdone, laughing heartily, his voice booming like a bell.

As he spoke, Jiang Wuya stepped into the air, manifesting a giant Sword Radiance Lotus high above. He then sat cross-legged atop this Sword Radiance Lotus, looking down arrogantly at the various Giants, showing no weakness.

This move undoubtedly boosted the morale of the Boundless Ghost Market Faction, stirring their blood and making them shout “Boundless Giant” in fervor.

Ye Sheng stood on the deck, surrounded by fanatical people for a moment.

Huang Wenyue, feeling afraid, stood closely behind Ye Sheng.

“Jiang Wuya, no one will ally with you this time. You’d better be careful, lest you lose your life!”

Not far away, another Giant Level spoke up, mocking him.

This was an Elder, sitting cross-legged atop a massive Mechanical Ghost Dragon.

The Mechanical Ghost Dragon was about a hundred meters long, its entire body forged from steel. However, unlike cold machinery, the Mechanical Ghost Dragon seemed to possess life, coiled in the Void, emitting a startling aura of thousandfold combat power.

Ye Sheng looked over, somewhat surprised by the Mechanical Ghost Dragon.

Huang Wenyue said, “Senior, this Mechanical Ghost Dragon is not a product of technology, but an artifact crafted through artifice. Its master, ‘Ghost Dragon Giant,’ is an Artifice Master.

This Mechanical Ghost Dragon was entirely forged by him alone. To complete it, Ghost Dragon Giant spent a full thirty years.

The moment the Mechanical Ghost Dragon was unveiled, it possessed Giant-level combat power within the 3rd Revolution Domain! It shook many factions.”

“An artifact crafted through artifice?” Ye Sheng watched with great interest, thinking how vast this world truly was, with wonders at every turn. He then looked toward the ‘Ghost Dragon Giant’ seated atop the Mechanical Ghost Dragon’s head and said, “An Artifice Master? How fascinating! To be able to craft a puppet with such combat power!”

In the sky, within the enormous Sword Radiance Lotus, Jiang Wuya laughed heartily, “Ghost Dragon, as an Artifice Master, why don’t you stay home and focus on your artifact crafting instead of coming out to join this commotion? Be careful this time—your Mechanical Ghost Dragon might get dismantled!

Without the Mechanical Ghost Dragon, you’re nothing!”

Seated atop the Mechanical Ghost Dragon’s head, Ghost Dragon snorted coldly, “Come and try if you dare! Let’s see if your Sword Qi is stronger or my Mechanical Ghost Dragon is mightier! Don’t end up unable to withstand even a single breath from the Mechanical Ghost Dragon!”

The Mechanical Ghost Dragon seemed to possess a spirit of its own. Its massive, ferocious mechanical dragon head roared toward Jiang Wuya, causing the surrounding Void to tremble violently and stirring up hurricane-force winds!

Nearby Invincible Realm cultivators couldn’t stabilize their footing amidst the tremors and gales. In shock, they retreated backward.

With Jiang Wuya’s appearance, the other Giant-level figures also turned their attention one by one.

Some nodded to Jiang Wuya in acknowledgment, while others cast cold glances…

“Boundless Giant!”

A Giant greeted politely, having a good relationship with Jiang Wuya.

“Wind-Extinguishing Giant.” Jiang Wuya cupped his hands in return. This was one of the few Giants he was on good terms with. Then, sweeping his gaze around, he chuckled, “Why haven’t the top three ranked Giants arrived yet?”

Upon hearing this, the assembled Giants all showed peculiar expressions!

These three could not be ignored by anyone!

They were also the greatest opponents in this upcoming struggle!

The Wind-Extinguishing Giant was also a middle-aged man. Seeing that no one else spoke, he smiled and said, “You know as well as anyone that the top-ranked ‘Mao Tiandu’ is elusive as a dragon—seen only in glimpses. He probably won’t show himself until the very last moment!”

Jiang Wuya nodded, then looked at the gathered Giants and stirred the pot, saying, “Everyone, with Mao Tiandu here, that complete 4th Revolution Mythic-Grade Set won’t fall to any of us. When the time comes, we must unite and work together to drive him away first!”

The Giants remained silent, not taking the bait, each harboring their own thoughts.

The Wind-Extinguishing Giant continued, “As for that madwoman and Bai Zihan, the two of them went off to fight. Whenever those two meet, neither will yield to the other!”

After speaking, the Wind-Extinguishing Giant couldn’t help but shake his head and laugh, as if finding it quite amusing.

“Went off to fight? Hahaha!” Jiang Wuya burst into laughter. That was something he hadn’t expected.

On the deck, Ye Sheng listened to these Giant-level conversations, using the opportunity to observe them.

Huang Wenyue supplemented by introducing them one by one.

…

As everyone spoke.

From the northwest, another fleet of over a thousand warships flew in. As they approached, tens of thousands of people soared out from the warships. Their numbers were so vast that they blotted out another portion of the sky.

“It’s the Bai Family arriving!”

“The Bai Family is here. Will Bai Zihan appear soon?”

“Didn’t you hear? Bai Zihan went off to fight with that madwoman!”

The crowd began to buzz with discussion.

Ye Sheng swept his gaze over them, his eyes turning slightly somber.

Among the crowd of the Bai Family, he spotted familiar faces.

All four of the Bai Family’s Invincible Realm Prodigies who had besieged him at Yin Water Mountain were present—Bai Zijian, Bai Ziwen… and the other two.
