"The competition for the title of the number one provocateur is indeed quite interesting." A cold voice tinged with deep arrogance spoke up: "Indeed, I am somewhat intrigued by you all." As the voice sounded, a man as steadfast as an ancient pine slowly emerged from the crowd. His demeanor, though bearing traces of weariness, was that of a man of unparalleled dignity and soaring heroism. As he walked forward, an overwhelming pressure emanated from him, causing the surrounding cultivators to step back involuntarily.

Seeing the intense provocation in the newcomer, Xiao Huohuo invited with a leisurely tone: "Brother Gu Du, since you're interested, why not join us?" Lin Shuishui also smiled faintly with a hint of provocation: "You are worthy to be our opponent. Gu Du Bu Bai, just by the name, it resonates enough to thunder across myriad realms."

"Boom!" The crowd was once again stirred. Looking at the man who had just appeared, their expressions were filled with even more awe and admiration. The Sword Demon of Myriad Realms, Gu Du Bu Bai! A mythical figure had arrived! How many renowned beings from myriad realms had this marriage meeting of Chi Tian Fairy attracted? Another cosmic-level powerhouse had appeared, and he too was joining the game of Li Congxin and his companions. Surprises were indeed coming one after another.

"Ha ha," Lin Shuishui, who had just praised Gu Du Bu Bai, spoke lightly again: "Sir, the last to appear isn't necessarily the most boastful."

Hearing this, Gu Du Bu Bai, the Sword Demon of Myriad Realms, who was both righteous and decisive, with the cunning to navigate through schemes and the talent to lead grand strategies, could be called a hero of the ages without exaggeration. Xiao Huohuo also said lightly: "Ah, seeing you today, you are no taller than me, and no more handsome."

"People are all of the same height, all of the same appearance," Gu Du Bu Bai said coldly: "What differs is the sword in hand, the perseverance in the heart, the boiling in the blood."

"Admirable, admirable." The prodigies began to show off, only Li Congxin remained humble: "All of you are of extraordinary talent, naturally surpassing me tenfold in every aspect."

"However, let's not boast yet." He got straight to the point: "If you want to join, bring out the real challenge first."

Xiao Huohuo's mouth twitched. Lin Shuishui's face stiffened. Gu Du Bu Bai's brow furrowed. Sometimes, humility isn't just humility. What a Li Congxin, seemingly modest, but in fact, clearly the most boastful.

"A real challenge, I do have one here." Gu Du Bu Bai extended his arm, and in his palm appeared a treasure. The moment the treasure appeared, its dazzling light instantly dyed the entire world a fierce blood-red, as if the whole world was soaked in blood. In the space, a terrifying sense of apocalypse was felt by everyone, as if standing in the most terrifying place in the world, making everyone's hair stand on end involuntarily.

Li Congxin's eyes narrowed slightly. Another ancient and mysterious super treasure had appeared. Floating in Gu Du Bu Bai's palm, the treasure that dyed the entire world red with its light was a drop of blood. A deep red drop of blood. That drop of blood, its age and mystery unknown. Li Congxin could sense that the power contained within that drop of blood, its terror and wonder, was certainly no less than Xiao Huohuo's 'spark of fire' or Lin Shuishui's 'drop of water (cosmic embryo)'.

The Forbidden Blood of the Primordial Era! This drop of blood contained the trials and tribulations of a forbidden deity from the Primordial Era; it could forge an indestructible body and an immortal soul. This drop of blood, shaking the ancient and dazzling the present, unmatched, could dye the heavens with demonic blood! The release of this drop of blood's power would surely move the heavens and tremble the gods!

"What you all have brought out is extraordinary, so I will use this drop of 'Forbidden Blood of the Primordial Era' as my stake to play with you all." Gu Du Bu Bai displayed his wager with a calm expression and demeanor.

"Pangu's Axe, Xuanyuan Sword, Spark of Fire, Cosmic Embryo, Forbidden Blood of the Primordial Era, thrilling, haha, thrilling." Xiao Huohuo: "If one person could possess all these treasures at once, it's really unimaginable, that person would truly be invincible."

"Interesting, too interesting." Lin Shuishui: "Since the challenges are all tough, let's see who has the higher divine nature, who can consume all these 'tough challenges'."

The four of them looked towards the stepping stone in front of the Primordial Gate. Li Congxin, Gu Du Bu Bai, Xiao Huohuo, and Lin Shuishui all seemed full of confidence, as if they were determined to win the treasures of the others. Yet none of them stepped forward first.

The prodigies, wild and proud in appearance, were actually very cautious and meticulous in their hearts. Xiao Huohuo, who had not yet seen the specifics of the stepping stone, first pointed to Huang Shu, the city lord of Primordial City: "Old man, you go first and set an example."

Huang Shu was taken aback. Then, a bitter smile appeared on his face. He was the manager of this checkpoint, the esteemed city lord of Primordial City, and today he had been reduced to setting an example for others. It was truly humiliating.

"Alright, I will go and set an example for you young masters." But he only smiled bitterly for a moment, then immediately spoke respectfully, straightened his spirit, and strode towards the stepping stone.

Everyone's spirits lifted. Here we go, the big shots are about to show their stuff.
