Chapter 811 - The Biggest Mistake

The fiery red flames in the Black Moon Divine Palace's representative station were slowly starting to go out.

The [Red Lotus Hellfire] might have been terrifying, but ultimately, it was just a form of fire. Thus, without anything to burn, it would naturally start to go out. Everyone within the representative station whose bodies were tainted with karma all caught fire. Those with a heavy karmic debt were immediately turned to ashes while those with an average karmic debt were also unable to withstand the terrifying flames and died from serious injuries. The weaker ordinary martial artists had low karmic debts and thus the burns that they sustained were not as serious. Nonetheless, they had also fainted, so even if they were not dead, they would not be able to last long either.

The flames gradually grew weaker.

Those who were watching from the outside could still glimpse what was going on through the black web radiance of the [Black Moon Pentagon Immortal Trap Formation]. When they saw the end result, those who sympathized with Ye Qingyu let out a sigh.

"It's such a pity. This young man is definitely a remarkable talent. If he survives past today, he could go on to achieve great things in the future. He was a rare talent amongst the Human Race but now, he is bound to be killed by his fellow humans, the Black Moon Divine Palace."

"You're right. Indeed, it's remarkable he was so powerful considering that he was born in such a lowly domain. He must have been blessed with great fortune, but that aside, his innate talent must have been equally extraordinary. It's such a pity that he could not rein in his brashness and that he allowed his rage to get to him. After he revealed himself, it's just as though a tiger had descended the hills to enter the plains. He doesn't stand a chance now."

"His speech earlier was filled with grief. The Black Moon Divine Palace has really gone too far this time. Why would they attack the Heaven Wasteland envoy mission when they were fellow humans? It is truly baffling."

"How odd. Didn't the Black Demon Race, the Phoenix Race, and Hurricane City all voice their support for Ye Qingyu? How can they just stand by and watch as this young man dies tragically? Won't they try to save him?"

"This is likely just a power game between the large forces. These large forces were probably never really in this young man's camp and were only using him to send a message to the forces backing the Black Moon Divine Palace. When they noticed how things were developing, they ultimately decided against helping Ye Qingyu."

"Yes, that makes sense. I felt that Ye Qingyu was a scheming fellow and tried to use his life to force the hand of the large forces who supported him. Unfortunately, he has overestimated his own worth and couldn't force the hand of the Black Demon Race, the Phoenix Race, nor Hurricane City. This one miscalculation will bring about his downfall."

All across the Void, on the ground, and the surrounding buildings, people started to reveal themselves. These experts greeted their friends, and as they spoke in low voices, they lamented the tragic fate of this young man. Those amongst the crowd who supported the Black Moon Divine Palace were all delighted by this development.

"Haha, this kid was like an ant trying to topple a mighty tree and had ridiculously overestimated himself. Ultimately, he is just a peasant from a lowly domain and is as good as dead."

"He's already so calculating and scheming at such a young age. He deserves to die."

"Why are there even people lamenting the fate of this lowly peasant? Are they all blind? He killed close to a thousand experts within the representative station. This shows how cruel and ruthless he is. A troublemaker like that should have been exterminated earlier."

The crowd was all abuzz, just like water coming to boil.

However, the atmosphere was now a lot more relaxed as compared to an hour ago.

Through the black radiance of the [Black Moon Pentagon Immortal Trap Formation], they could clearly see the final wisp of the [Red Lotus Hellfire] go out. However, its terrifying burning power remained, and the Void wobbled slightly as though it was about to melt. Surprisingly, most of the buildings remained intact. The buildings that were destroyed had mostly been destroyed by the experts who struggled in their last moments to fend off the flames.

Many experts who had chosen to hide in the Void also revealed themselves.

A greedy glint glimmered in the eyes of several experts.

By this time, most people were already aware of Ye Qingyu's identity and his good fortune. In particular, the legend of how he had managed to survive past the 18th district of the Black Demon Pool made him a walking target to many experts and forces. These ambitious and evil people had dared to attempt to assassinate the young master of the Sinful Pit and the Celestial Phoenix Maiden, so Ye Qingyu was nothing to them.

Since Ye Qingyu was doomed to die, then the treasures on his body would no longer belong to anyone. If they openly snatched his treasures now, they would not risk offending a terrifying figure like [Quasi-Emperor Xiaofei] either. This was a crucial moment and those who had been waiting for the standoff to come to an end would not sit by idly while the Black Moon Divine Palace helped themselves to his treasures.

Gradually, many experts from the various races who possessed extraordinarily powerful auras soundlessly inched their way toward the [Black Moon Pentagon Immortal Trap Foundation]. None of them spoke but their intent was clear.

Master Zhu sensed that danger was approaching.

Great Saint Zhong Yuan's brows creased as well.

"A word of warning to all: please refrain from making a grave mistake." Zhong Yuan's gaze was as sharp as a knife as he looked at the figures who crept toward the formation. He shot the crowd a warning look as he said, "The plan we have laid out to kill Ye Qingyu was not formulated by the Black Moon Divine Palace alone. The forces who lent their support to this plan are stronger than you could ever imagine, and even the Black Moon Divine Palace would not be eligible to take the treasures from this troublemaker. Everyone, none of you can afford to get yourselves involved in this. If you don't wish to die or for your families to be ruined, please leave now."

The approaching crowd all halted at his words.

Some started to waver but others only paused for a moment before inching their way forward again.

"Hehe, I don't have much longer to live and have only got one breath left in me. My family and friends are all dead and if I can't obtain the rare elixirs from this troublemaker, I will be dead in a few days. Why would I be afraid of vengeance? Hehe…" Someone let out a frightful cackle. His aura was terrifying and he was not weaker than Great Saint Zhong Yuan, but death qi circled his body. It was clear that this was a powerful expert who was reaching the end of his lifespan.

"You're right. Hehe, we can't give this golden opportunity up, we might never have the chance again…" someone else cackled. His laughter was as bone-chilling as the sound of a Night Owlet monster and his aura was equally powerful. His figure was hidden within a grey mist that obscured his features but it did not hide his ghastliness.

Boom!

Someone immediately attacked the [Black Moon Pentagon Immortal Trap Formation] from the outside. The attacking force was extremely powerful and the black web radiance quivered. The person who had attacked was extremely powerful and was at the Great Saint level.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

More and more experts started to mercilessly attack the formation in increasing numbers, unleashing terrifying power that chaotically shot out in all directions. In an instant, the [Black Moon Pentagon Immortal Trap Formation] faced attacks from all directions and the five Saints who had been reinforcing the formation turned pale as blood flowed from their mouths.

This formation had the ability to trap the enemy within it but it was susceptible to attacks from the outside. Most importantly, those who had attacked the formation were all extremely powerful and none of them were weaker than the five Saints. Since these people had ruthlessly attacked the formation with the intent of destroying it, the force from these attacks was not something the five Saints could deal with.

The [Black Moon Pentagon Immortal Trap Formation] showed signs of collapsing.

Master Zhu's face changed at the sight of this.

This was not part of his plan. He had not counted on Ye Qingyu killing all those who were lying in wait within the representative station, so he could not react in time to the events thereafter…

Great Saint Zhong Yuan thought quickly.

His figure flashed and he flew toward the center of the representative station.

Since he could not stop the frenzied experts outside, he would make the first move and strip Ye Qingyu of all his treasures. Regardless of what happened next, these artifacts could not fall into the hands of the others, especially that cauldron of his.

At the same time—

Boom!

The [Black Moon Pentagon Immortal Trap Formation] was finally shattered.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

The crowd frantically rushed toward the center of the representative station. They were all afraid that others would get there first and even started to exchange blows in midair, killing their fellow treasure hunters.

In the distance—

There were several figures who stopped to observe the action unfolding.

"Sigh, what a pity."

"This young man is doomed."

"Those treasures in his possession landed him in trouble. Perhaps the Black Moon Divine Palace had attacked the Heaven Wasteland envoy mission for the very treasures he possessed as well."

Someone sighed.

At the same time, around thirty figures had entered the Black Moon Divine Palace's representative station and joined the frenzied melee.

"Where is it?"

"Why can't I find it?"

"The cauldron is mine…"

"Everyone, all I need is an elixir that can extend my lifespan. I don't need anything else…"

There was chaos all around.

Around this time, some people started to realize that Ye Qingyu, who should have been burned to death, was now nowhere to be found. As hard as they searched the surrounding area, they could not find a trace of him, as though he had never been there.

"Was he burned to ashes?"

Some were stunned.

However, something unexpected suddenly happened.

Boom!

The [Red Lotus Hellfire], which had gone out earlier, suddenly exploded without warning from the Void. This time, it raged more violently than before and was much more terrifying than the flames he had unleashed earlier. It enveloped the entire representative station, and those who were within the station were all engulfed in flames.

"Ah… what is going on?"

"Oh no, we have fallen into his trap."

"Damn!"

Horrified cries rang out all around.

The crowd finally discovered a giant cauldron which was thousands of meters tall floating in the Void. [Red Lotus Hellfire] spewed crazily from the mouth of the cauldron and the troublemaker who should have been burned to death stood proudly on one of the handles. His white robes were as pure as snow and scorn and pity could be seen on his face as he surveyed the chaos.

“You little punk… you tricked us!”

"I can't believe he still has some of that Hellfire left."

"Goddamnit…" an expert who was at the Great Saint level blurted out a curse. "This bastard deliberately led us all into a trap. He means to kill us all. How ambitious of him."

Those Saint-level experts could not figure out how they missed spotting the giant cauldron. They could not understand how this troublemaker had laid out his plans in such a way that they were rendered completely defenseless.

Great Saint Zhong Yuan's face was immediately leeched out of all its color.

His heart truly sank this time.

He truly realized that he had made a huge mistake.

He had underestimated his opponent.
