Chapter 6217 Each Side Scheming Against Each Other

The innate bead was a crystallization of the Primal Chaos Vermilion Bird’s soul and will—a divine treasure forged through its bloodline’s power.

It was meant to serve as the core for its nirvanic rebirth. Unfortunately, its life had long since ended. All that remained was a sliver of its indomitable will.

Whoever could subdue this will would become the new master of the innate bead, inheriting not only the Vermilion Bird’s legacy but also dominion over this entire world of flames.

The moment the bead appeared, everyone went mad, charging toward it without hesitation. Though it was merely a bead to the Vermilion Bird, to ordinary cultivators, it was as large as a mountain.

“Now’s the moment!” Kun Wufa shouted at Long Biluo, charging toward the innate bead himself.

His Kunpeng wings unfurled, tearing through the air with a sonic boom. Though many others had moved first, he was the first to reach the bead. His speed was unmatched.

However, just as he was about to enter the bead, a lightning javelin shot toward him.

Seeing this, Kun Wufa snorted, and over five hundred Sovereign flames ignited around him.

“No wonder he’s so arrogant. He’s on the same level as Di Mengyao,” Long Chen muttered, slightly taken aback.

Kun Wufa sneered and unleashed a palm, blowing apart the lightning javelin.

“A group of ants thinks they can bar my way?”

BOOM!

“Ants? Do you really think you’re the only one with five hundred Sovereign flames?” retorted Lei Qianlang disdainfully.

The next moment, thunder cracked, and his Sovereign flames flared to life—he too was a five-hundred-flame divine sprout.

“A second five-hundred-flame divine sprout?” Long Chen was stunned.

But then, he realized his mistake. For clans like the Kunpeng and Divine Blood Lightning Phoenix races, concentrating the karmic luck of their entire bloodline into a few supreme geniuses was a feasible strategy. Creating a five-hundred-flame divine sprout wasn’t difficult for them.

In contrast, the dragon race’s karmic luck had been split amongst all the dragon races throughout the heavens thanks to Long Chen. Although the Heaven Dragon Law Domain got the biggest share, they had countless geniuses as well. And with the Sovereign King Crown shattered, their karmic fortune was no longer centralized—everyone had to fight for it.

If the dragon race had been capable of using a similar method, compressing their entire race’s karmic luck into a certain few, Di Mengyao would have far surpassed even these so-called elites.

Suddenly, the void trembled. A black vortex appeared, sucking space into itself. The terrifying suction threatened to yank Kun Wufa backward.

It was Yun Wu.

She was another terrifying five-hundred-flame divine sprout, and her Heaven Swallowing Art caused even Kun Wufa’s face to change.

BOOM!

Kun Wufa roared and flared his golden wings. They stretched out like heavenly blades, anchoring him in the air and halting his retreat.

Though he resisted the suction, he could no longer move forward. He was furious.

Just then, the experts of the other world also charged toward it.

Furious roars split the air and multiple divine abilities shook the heavens. No matter who wanted to get to the innate bead, they would have to get through everyone’s blockade as they fought amongst each other. It was extremely chaotic.

Amidst the turmoil, Long Biluo remained motionless, her gaze fixed on the Eight Desolation Devil Subduing Spear. She ignored the others.

“Long Biluo, why aren’t you helping?!” roared Kun Wufa, unable to escape from Yun Wu’s technique.

“You idiot,” Long Biluo snapped, her expression irritated. “You’re too impatient. If it weren’t for my faint friendship with your brother, I wouldn’t even bother speaking to you. It’s not the time to fight over the bead. Even if you reach it, how would I protect you from attacks on all sides? If you’re disturbed while trying to subdue the bead’s will, you’ll fail immediately.”

Her words were transmitted via spiritual communication.

“Oh...”

Kun Wufa’s fury started to cool. After all, her logic was flawless.

To conquer the innate bead, he needed to focus every ounce of his will. Even under perfect conditions, success wasn’t guaranteed. If he was distracted midway, he had essentially no chance at all.

Moreover, the battlefield was teeming with elite experts. Unless Long Biluo could wipe them all out in one move—which she wouldn’t dare to do due to the political fallout—there was no way to ensure his safety.

Long Biluo couldn’t possibly start a massacre, as that would offend an incredible number of powerful factions. The consequences were something the Kunpeng and Jiuli races couldn’t endure.

Only now did Kun Wufa notice: many of the others were putting on a show of desperation, but were actually holding back. They were scheming, not truly fighting.

Hence, he continued to act crazy, looking like he had to obtain the innate bead no matter what.

But inside, he was flustered. Of all the people here, he had played the fool.

As everyone fought and dragged each other down, one figure suddenly relied on their immense speed to bypass the blockade and reach the innate bead.

BOOM!

Before anyone could react, he was blasted apart. His body disintegrated into a mist of blood.

“A three-hundred-flame divine sprout dared to try to touch the Vermilion Bird’s legacy? Truly courting death?” sneered one of them.

The moment the cultivator had entered the innate bead, a Vermilion Bird manifestation appeared and slew him in a single blow.

This was the guardian of the bead—the embodiment of the Vermilion Bird’s will. Only by defeating it could one gain the legacy. Clearly, a three-hundred-flame divine sprout didn’t even qualify.

This discovery caused all the three-hundred-flame divine sprouts to feel a burst of despair. To be killed instantly without even the chance to struggle meant they had no hope of succeeding. The disparity in strength was simply too great.

Still, they didn’t leave. Though eliminated from competition, they clung to faint hopes. After all, this was the Vermilion Bird’s legacy—a chance for them to change their fate and defy the heavens. No one would surrender such a possibility lightly.

BOOM!

Just then, an expert with four hundred Sovereign flames passed through the blockade and entered the innate bead.
