Primordial Emperor

Zhou Liang's gaze fell on the arena's competition, watching with great interest. He couldn't wait for Lin Chen to lose those ten thousand low-grade Spirit Crystals, which would force him to sign the Bloodline Contract. Now, Lin Chen's karma was coming for him, Zhou Liang secretly rejoiced.

At this moment, the competition on the arena had already begun.

After Lin Chen leaped onto the arena, he immediately launched an attack.

Although the defender in front of him had a Peak of the Nirvana Realm cultivation, Lin Chen still paid him no mind.

Not to mention the Peak of the Nirvana Realm, even if it was a half-step to the Creation Realm, Lin Chen could easily defeat it.

However, to avoid revealing his identity and attracting too much attention, Lin Chen still put on an act, battling with the defender for over half an hour, appearing as if he was about to win yet also seemingly about to lose.

Watching the two fight, many people were on edge, clenching their fists, fearful that Lin Chen might lose.

Thus, as the battle progressed, the crowd under the arena cheered for Lin Chen, shouting words like "Go, Master Qingxu, beat the crap out of him!".

Boom——

With a powerful punch from the defender, Lin Chen collided with him, resulting in Lin Chen being blasted off the arena by the violent energy, looking rather disheveled.

Seeing this scene, everyone under platform nine, including the bookmaker, was stunned.

Lin Chen actually... lost!

All eyes fell on Lin Chen, and after being stunned for a few moments, everyone suddenly went wild.

"Ah, how could this be, how could Master Qingxu lose, I bet my entire fortune!"

"Lost, Master Qingxu actually lost, who said Master Qingxu would definitely win?"

"Mr. Tang, pfft, Old Dog Tang, we trusted you so much, and now we've lost everything."

"My money, ah..."

As Lin Chen was defeated, many people below the arena were furious and agitated. Some even had their Dao hearts crumble, vomiting blood on the spot and fainting.

Tang Yue, known to many as Mr. Tang, had been mingling in Yunlong Heavenly Palace for decades and had quite a reputation in the betting world. He led many to win lots of money over the years, but this time he bet his entire fortune and immediately howled towards the sky, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood and fainting.

Even the bookmaker and others who set up platforms under platform nine were caught off guard as they didn't expect Lin Chen to lose, as Lin Chen had wagered twenty thousand low-grade Spirit Crystals on himself.

With the outcome of this contest, the person in charge of platform nine calculated briefly and his face turned extremely ugly.

Because the challenger lost in this gamble, they were supposed to make a huge profit as countless people bet on the challenger to win.

However, when the manager at the betting table in front of platform nine cast his gaze upon Zhou Liang waiting nearby, his heart skipped a beat.

Damn, he almost forgot this guy, presumed to be a "big sucker", who bet ten thousand low-grade Spirit Crystals on the defender.

As the person in charge, watching earlier as everyone bet on the challenger, even he thought Lin Chen was holding back his strength, making the challenger undoubtedly victorious, so he changed the challenger's odds from 1:10 to 1:20 to attract attention, wanting to lure the big sucker to bet.

Now as he thought, he would have to give Zhou Liang a twentyfold payout, which means two million low-grade Spirit Crystals.

So this gamble, they as the bookmaker, after deducting Zhou Liang's two million low-grade Spirit Crystals, didn't earn much.

However, the person in charge was now relieved that, thanks to past lessons, he hadn't changed the challenger's odds from 1:10 to 1:100, or else they would have been ruined.

Zhou Liang stood there in a daze, unable to believe that he actually won this gamble.

Was it a coincidence, or did Lin Chen see it all along?

Afterwards, Zhou Liang stepped forward to claim his payout under the man-eating expression of the opposite manager, accepting the Spatial Ring. Zhou Liang then probed it with his Divine Soul, checked, and felt exhilarated.

Damn, it's really two million low-grade Spirit Crystals.

Zhou Liang had never seen so much money in his life, let alone held it in his hands.

If it weren't for the Bloodline Contract with Lin Chen, Zhou Liang would have undoubtedly fled with the fortune right now, even if it meant leaving Yunlong Heavenly Palace.

After all, this fortune was enough to support him breaking through to the Creation Realm or even higher levels.

Zhou Liang looked around, trying to find Lin Chen's figure, but found nothing.

"Stop looking, I've been watching you. Put the Spatial Ring back in its place and leave; I will retrieve it myself."

"Your Bloodline Contract is in my hands, don't play any tricks if you don't want to become a cripple."

Lin Chen's voice transmission echoed again in Zhou Liang's mind.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Liang dared not hesitate and, carrying the Spatial Ring, walked into the small forest to the east.

Zhou Liang had no idea that the Lin Chen he was looking for in every direction was actually Master Qingxu in disguise, standing not far away.

Zhou Liang didn't find Lin Chen, and was surprised, silently thinking how adept this guy was at concealing his form.

Walking into the small forest, Zhou Liang placed the Spatial Ring at the specified location Lin Chen had given, then left.

After Zhou Liang left, Lin Chen walked into the small forest, came under the designated big tree, took out the Spatial Ring, and used his Divine Soul to verify the amount of low-grade Spirit Crystals. Indeed, it was two million pieces, indicating Zhou Liang didn't play any tricks.

Subsequently, Lin Chen put away the Spatial Ring and left, returning to the Yellow Hall.

Today, Lin Chen gained a lot, previously he had won two million low-grade Spirit Crystals, and this time he earned another two million, totaling four million low-grade Spirit Crystals.

With this, Lin Chen was not far from illuminating the ninth path on the Star Map within the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron.

Originally, Lin Chen thought that illuminating the ninth path would be very difficult, as it required a large number of Spirit Crystals.

However, unexpectedly, the Spirit Martial Arena held by the Heaven Hall allowed him to make a huge profit.

One has to say, the Heaven Hall really helped a lot this time, by holding this Spirit Martial Arena when he needed money.
