Chapter 48: The Cave Entrance

“Jinhui Armor, this defensive suit—take it for five yuan.”
Qu Yi held the defensive suit left behind by Gongye Bo after his death and quickly learned about its properties, then immediately told Wu Yuan.
Wu Yuan’s relentless combat technique, once activated, would continue without pause, attacking endlessly until he ran out of strength. Thus, when using this technique, he never defended himself, making him vulnerable to skilled opponents.
Now, with this Jinhui Armor at the Divine General level, Wu Yuan no longer had to worry about distractions when using his relentless technique.
Without hesitation, Wu Yuan snatched the Jinhui Armor as soon as he heard Qu Yi’s words, claiming it through blood sacrifice and refining it.
Qing Wugui smiled indifferently. He felt no jealousy at Qu Yi giving this rare defensive suit from the Divine Realm to Wu Yuan. Qing Wugui had always relied solely on his own strength.
Soon after, Qu Yi’s consciousness entered Gongye Bo’s space ring.
“Hehe, life essence—countless amounts of it. Divine artifacts—also countless. All the loot from Ze Dui Divine Realm’s battles in the Galaxy Battlefield is here in this space ring. It’s all mine now,” Qu Yi said, overjoyed after scanning the items inside.
Nearly 20 billion cultivators from the Shui Kan Divine Realm and Huo Li Divine Realm had died, leaving behind many divine artifacts and life essence, most of which were collected by Gongye Bo.
Since Qu Yi, Wu Yuan, and Qing Wugui had already reached the limit in terms of the number of spiritual entities in their bodies, they no longer needed this life essence. However, after this great battle among Divine Weapon level cultivators, many of them died, especially those from the Shui Kan and Huo Li Divine Realms, who were nearly wiped out. Those who would soon reach the Divine Weapon level desperately needed this life essence to expand their spiritual entities and these divine artifacts to enhance their strength.
The life essence and divine artifacts in this space ring were a vast treasure.
“Ugh, Qu Yi, do we have to kill more people next?” Wu Yuan exclaimed excitedly.
Life essence, wealth—none of it interested Wu Yuan. Only combat was what he pursued now. Especially thinking that this golden planet was full of cultivators, with battles everywhere, his blood boiled with enthusiasm.

Qu Yi heard this, thought for a moment, and then said, “Wuyuan, Wuqing, fly up into the air now and see if your spiritual awareness is still restricted by the spatial rules of this star.”
In the battle just now, Wuyuan had killed quite a number of cultivators from the Zedui Divine Realm, so Qu Yi wanted to confirm exactly how many people needed to be killed before they could move freely on this golden star.
Soon, Wuyuan took off into the air and began flying freely, just like anywhere else in the Galaxy Battlefield.
Seeing Wuyuan’s performance, Qu Yi became confident.
“It seems that one must kill a hundred thousand people before escaping the suppression of this star’s spatial rules. Well, now only Wuqing hasn’t reached that kill count. Let’s fly to look for the Void Mountain while helping Wuqing kill people,” Qu Yi said with a smile.
Qing Wugui had been cultivating his killing skills on this star and hadn’t killed many people yet, so he was still restricted by the spatial rules.
Wuyuan immediately laughed and shouted, “Wuqing, your strength isn’t as good as mine, is it? Look, I’ve already killed millions!”
Qing Wugui smiled faintly but didn’t argue with Wuyuan. If they really fought, Wuyuan would only be crushed, because the Golden and Wood elements he had awakened were both suppressed by Qing Wugui and held no power at all.
“Let’s fight now,” Qing Wugui said immediately.
Wuyuan flew away in an instant.
Qu Yi chuckled, then quickly turned his eyes and released Xu Ming from the Inch Realm Ball.
Xu Ming had been in the Galaxy Battlefield without going out, as Qu Yi had asked him to focus solely on refining his Soul Orb while also providing him with plenty of vital energy to strengthen his spiritual body. Now, thinking that there might be a peerless divine artifact on this star, Qu Yi wanted Xu Ming to go out and try his luck as well.
“Qu Yi, what’s the matter? Why did you let me out?” Xu Ming was a bit confused before sensing the immense pressure in the surrounding space.
“Come out and get some exercise too. First, kill some people, then help me fight for treasures,” Qu Yi explained directly.
Xu Ming nodded immediately.
After that, the four of them—Qu Yi, Wuyuan, Qing Wugui, and Xu Ming—flew swiftly to look for other cultivators. Since Qu Yi and Wuyuan’s spiritual awareness was no longer restricted, they could quickly find many cultivators. Qing Wugui and Xu Ming also soon killed a hundred thousand cultivators each.
All four of them were no longer under the oppression of this golden star’s spatial rules.

Qu Yi brought Xu Ming back into the confined space, then flew above the star together with Wu Yuan and Qing Wu Gui. Inside the star, waves of cultivators were fighting each other; they had also discovered the secrets of this star and realized that they had to kill others to avoid being oppressed by its spatial rules. For survival and to seize the legendary treasure, all the cultivators from the six realms fought mercilessly. Suddenly, golden light burst forth from the ground on the golden star, killing those cultivators who hadn’t killed enough people and were still on the ground. Only those not affected by the spatial rules were able to escape. The golden light flashed across the area before disappearing, restoring the star’s golden surface. At that moment, the words “Void Mountain” reappeared above the star. Below those words, there were three thick white beams of light, as if the words were projected by them, with the beams intersecting as if pointing to a certain spot on the ground. “Quick, Void Mountain has appeared!” In an instant, all the surviving cultivators understood what the beams pointed to and rushed toward the direction indicated by the white lights. Qu Yi, Wu Yuan, and Qing Wu Gui, all of whom moved at incredible speeds, quickly arrived and saw a towering golden mountain with the words “Void Mountain” floating on it. Undoubtedly, the Void Mountain that everyone had been searching for had finally appeared. In the air, Guo Huo, Liu Shi, Mu Rong, and Pang Shu gathered together, quite close to Void Mountain, but they looked anxious because they couldn’t find anything special about it. Soon after, Qiu Tong, Tian Wen, Bai Fang, Sang Guang, and Jin Muqing also arrived at Void Mountain, just like Yan Tan and Wu Qin, who had seemingly disappeared earlier. All the leaders of the eight divine realms were present, except for Gongye Bo, who had already died. There were only five thousand other cultivators left. Almost all the cultivators at the Divine Weapon stage in the entire divine realm had died, indicating that the fierce battle over the legendary divine weapon had completely wiped out those at that stage. “There’s no sign of life on this Void Mountain. How can we obtain the treasure?” Many cultivators in the air looked puzzled. All the cultivators flew around Void Mountain repeatedly, examining it thoroughly, but still found nothing special—let alone any signs of a divine weapon emerging.

One day passed.
Suddenly, on Mount Void, the three “Void” characters floating above the peak emitted a burst of white light before disappearing.
After those characters vanished, a cave entrance in the shape of “Void” appeared right beneath the peak, emitting an exciting energy fluctuation. When sensed with the divine consciousness, the entire soul space was filled with a very pleasant atmosphere.
Moreover, all the cultivators, upon sensing this special energy, immediately felt that they could master the third law quite quickly. In other words, staying in this special energy would make it easy to break through from the Divine Weapon stage to the Divine General stage.
“Wuyuan, Qingwu, let’s fly in through the cave entrance,” Qu Yi shouted as soon as he saw it.
Qu Yi was astonished by the aura emanating from the cave entrance, as that energy was extremely similar to chaotic energy—like the energy that existed at the beginning of the universe. If a Divine King were here, he would surely recognize this special energy as the Primordial Qi.
Without delay, Qu Yi, Wuyuan, and Qingwu leaped toward the cave entrance like lightning and rushed inside.
“Everyone, hurry in! We can’t let them steal the treasures,” Guo Hu said. He had been sensing the Primordial Qi moments earlier when he suddenly saw Qu Yi enter the cave. Realizing now was not the time to hesitate, he knew entering to search for treasures was the right course of action.
Immediately afterward, Guo Hu, Liushi, Murong, and Pang Shu left behind afterimages in the air and entered the cave as well.
“Damn it! They’re ahead of us again,” Qiu Tong, Tian Wen, Bai Fang, Sang Guang, and Jin Muqing shouted anxiously.
Almost simultaneously, the five of them arrived at the cave and, without hesitation, rushed in.
Yan Tan and Wu Qin also quickly flew to the cave entrance and entered as well.
Naturally, after those dozen or so top-ranked cultivators entered the cave, it spurred the other cultivators still flying in the air to come to the entrance as well and dash in.
When treasures emerge, those destined to possess them will find them.
Since it wasn’t necessarily the strongest who could obtain these rare treasures, which of the surviving cultivators would give up such an opportunity? If they could get these unparalleled divine artifacts, they might be able to rise rapidly in the divine realm.
In a very short time, everyone entered the interior of Mount Void through the “Void” cave entrance.
