Top Grade Immortal Emperor in the Flower City

One strong contender after another stepped forward, entrusting their fates and lives to the whims of destiny and those damned dice.

My god, if we were to die in battle, we would have nothing to say, but damn it, to die because of dice, it just feels so unjust.

At that moment, everyone's gaze turned to the Saintess and the strongest member of the Dark Council approaching the steps.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Yo, not bad, let's see how Lady Luck treats this old geezer and the Saintess!" Ye Ling chuckled with interest.

"Elder Crow is invincible—darkness is eternal!"

"May the light of the gods shine upon the world, the Saintess will lead us to glory!"

Ye Ling was surprised; damn, the strongest member of the Dark Council was actually called Crow? What a weird name.

The two stepped onto the steps, and the slowly floating steps suddenly changed, stunning everyone.

In front of the Saintess, only five steps disappeared, while for the Dark Council's Elder Crow, it was just seven. This was a miracle compared to the others.

Both of them, unfazed, began to roll the dice. They threw them, then ascended according to the numbers rolled.

Along the way, neither of them encountered the slightest bit of danger. The Saintess was the first to step onto the Divine Platform, followed by Crow.

The strong from the Dark Council and The Holy See cheered from below the steps. The luck of these two was simply unbeatable; they hadn't faced any danger.

But the moment the two arrived on the Divine Platform, two streams of golden light twined around them. Ye Ling's eyes suddenly widened, revealing a mysterious smile.

"Nice one, you old immortals, still pulling this kind of stunt! Is this a test of fate? It's outright plunder!"

The golden light represented their own luck and destiny. Those who died below the Divine Platform had their destiny plundered by those on the Divine Platform, and the strong ones on the Divine Platform would automatically plunder the destiny of others based on the strength of their own fortunes.

"Shenfeng, Tianhao, follow behind me later and go up last," Ye Ling sneered.

Since it was like this, then this young master will just collect their fortunes, transferring all their luck onto myself, heh heh.

On the hundred-step staircase, one after another person fell to their death, and everyone hardly dared to breathe heavily, as the bouncing dice became the god that decreed their demise.

A dice controlling the death of these strong figures?

It's complete bullshit.

Finally, everyone had finished throwing, leaving only Ye Ling and nine others. Ye Ling had Shenfeng and Li Tianhao take different paths, then all ten of them stepped onto the stairs at the same time.

Hum, hum, clatter clatter, the steps flipped and slowly rotated.

Ten people, each different, of which Li Tianhao and Shenfeng's were already pretty good, with less than ten empty steps out of a hundred. The other few had between twenty to thirty empty steps.

But the moment Ye Ling set foot on the steps, the steps changed, and everyone was shocked, then burst into curses.

"Dammit! I protest, protest! This is cheating, outright cheating!"

"Cheating! If it's not cheating, I'll smash my balls!"

"Hammer and stick! I'm in too! You're going too far!"

Amid the cursing, Ye Ling laughed proudly. Below his feet, all one hundred steps were intact, not a single one missing.

And on the steps, a protective golden light shimmered on both sides, making it seem like he was walking on the red carpet.

Ye Ling chuckled, picked up the dice, and tossed them forcefully into the air. The dice fell and rolled non-stop on the ground, finally settling on one side.

"Damn it, damn it! I'm not playing anymore; this is a BUG, a BUG!"

"Lord, strike this demon down with lightning!"

"Out of the way, let me kill him, I will kill him!"

The nine people who ascended the steps with Ye Ling were also stupefied, including Li Tianhao and Shenfeng, each and every one of them agape in shock.

"This is impossible! You, you're defying the heavens!"

"Can we still have fun? Can we still be friends?"

Everyone was cursing angrily, cursing the unfairness because, on the dice in front of Ye Ling, there was astoundingly a huge number one hundred written in Chinese characters.

"Haha! See that? Little old me is so fated, tch tch, you can't even deny it. I'm outta here!" Ye Ling laughed heartily, stepping forward and directly leaping up a hundred steps.

With one step onto the divine platform, Ye Ling stood beside the Saintess, and in that moment, the golden light radiating from everyone else on the divine platform suddenly dimmed significantly.

And the golden light swirling around Ye Ling, as thick as an arm, roared and twined around his body, unruly like a mighty dragon.

Ye Ling felt that in this moment, the world became much more amiable, and amid the vastness, he seemed to sense that he had become the darling of the heavens, blessed by the world, and indescribably at ease.

As for the others, when their golden light dimmed, they suddenly felt uneasy, but no one thought too much about it. They merely supposed they were scared by Ye Ling. No one imagined that their luck had been completely plundered by that bastard Ye Ling.

"Tch tch, little old me is so awesome!" Ye Ling laughed heartily, hands on hips and loudly proclaimed in a smug demeanor.

Everyone inwardly lamented the injustice of the heavens. How could such a scoundrel ascend smoothly to the divine stage?

Below the platform, the remaining nine individuals were cautiously rolling the dice, step by step ascending the high platform. Among the nine, Shenfeng and Li Tianhao were so fortunate it was enviable. They reached the divine platform effortlessly.

The rest of the seven, however, saw three fall, leaving only four. Even so, this final group of ten had the highest success rate.

Now standing on the divine platform, having triumphed in this challenge, there were only fifty-six, from the initial five hundred or more, only one tenth remained.

The death toll was terrifying, countless forces were devastated, their pillars crushed.

"First of all, congratulations to you all for successfully passing the tests of strength, courage, heart, and fate. You have earned an opportunity to receive the legacy, but you still need to continue to exert yourself to grasp it," a familiar voice rang out once again.

Then, all the steps beneath the divine platform vanished, and underneath the platform extended an endless dark sea.

In the next moment, a dense forest quietly sprung up around the divine platform, stretching out indefinitely.

"Enter the Forest of Death and engage in slaughter; only ten of you may survive, all others must die," the voice declared.

"And all of your cultivation levels will be suppressed to the Innate Realm."

Everyone's heart suddenly clenched, fifty-six people, and only ten could survive. What a brutal death rate.

Everyone was alarmed, even Ye Ling couldn't help but inhale sharply. These old fellows were really ruthless.

You say to kill, then kill, but to even suppress the cultivation to the Innate Realm...

Ye Ling smiled faintly. However, this was perfect. With the Golden Core within him radiating boundless Spiritual Power, who in the Innate Realm could rival him?

"Enter the Forest of Death!"

Suddenly, an irresistible force enveloped them all, transporting them into the boundless forest.

The killing began!
