"Sky Crossing Demon King, if I go down to gather intelligence for you, will you protect me?"

"Yes, we are in the same boat, if you face troubles, naturally I will help you!"

Sky Crossing Demon King responded with a calm tone.

"Alright, then I'm going down!"

Cao Wentian exhaled a turbid breath, although he felt that Sky Crossing Demon King's reply was not very firm, as he thought about it, he felt that the other party would not abandon him.

Though Cao Wentian felt that Sky Crossing Demon King might not truly help him at the crucial moment, he no longer cared.

Cao Wentian looked down at Duan Gujin, his eyes widened, pupils suddenly constricted, a cold gleam flashed in his eyes.

He despised Duan Gujin deeply, knowing that unless he could eradicate all the Martial Artists present today, it would be difficult for him to establish himself in the Qiankun Continent in the future.

Previously, in a fit of rage, he had recounted the miserable past events.

He also understood in his heart, by betraying the Human Clan of Qiankun Continent and siding with Sky Crossing Demon King, he had become a public enemy of the entire continent.

Unless he could completely annihilate every Martial Artist here today, otherwise he would become the subject of others' casual conversations in the future.

Thinking of that dreadful situation, he wished he could perish together with Duan Gujin.

Previously, Duan Gujin and others had overheard the conversation above the skies, and they realized that Cao Wentian had volunteered to battle them.

"Cao Wentian, if you are a man, don't act cowardly! Come down and face me one-on-one!"

Amidst the crowd, Lie Lei and others immediately shouted loudly.

"You all step back! I want a one-on-one duel with Duan Gujin!"

Cao Wentian certainly understood that his strength was no match for other Martial Artists at the Martial Sect Realm. So, he chose Duan Gujin.

"Cao Wentian, are you a man? If you are, then agree to a one-on-one duel with me! Don't think that just because you can handle a thousand old women, you can handle me alone!"

At that moment, a Martial Artist roared angrily.

Other Martial Artists also roared, their shouting was no less intense than the first roarer.

Hearing the extremely provocative words of those Martial Artists, Cao Wentian glanced around, his pupils revealing a cold gleam.

"If my strength were strong enough, today I would tear everyone here into thousands of pieces!"

Cao Wentian vowed in his heart.

"Cao Wentian, do you want to defeat those annoying flies down there?"

Just then, Sky Crossing Demon King suddenly asked.

"Yes!"

Cao Wentian immediately replied.

"Good, I will lend you some more strength now!"

Sky Crossing Demon King moved his mind, and a powerful force immediately emanated from his body.

That powerful force immediately pulled Cao Wentian in front of him, and then he handed over a black object, about the size of his head, to him.

Cao Wentian looking at the black object in his hand, various doubts flashed in his mind.

"What is this?"

"This is the Heart of the Demon King, as long as you merge with it, you can obtain part of my strength! Once you go down, you will easily defeat those Martial Artists below!"

Sky Crossing Demon King said indifferently.

"What price do I need to pay?"

Cao Wentian's eyes flickered as he asked.

He had dealt with Sky Crossing Demon King before, knowing it was not a kind being, and it wouldn't give him any benefits for no reason.

Sky Crossing Demon King had previously made it clear to him that if he wanted anything good, he would have to pay a corresponding price.

"I want to share life with you!"

Sky Crossing Demon King said indifferently.

"What is life sharing?"

Upon hearing this, Cao Wentian immediately became interested and inquired about life sharing.

"It means that you and I make a vow, and we can share our lives! You are from the Human Clan, I am from the Netherworld Dark Clan, my lifespan is much longer than yours. By sharing my life, your lifespan will increase! For someone from the Human Clan whose lifespan is originally short, this is an incredible fortune! If your lifespan is longer than your enemies, you can completely wipe out your enemy's family after they die!"

Upon hearing this, Cao Wentian's pupils suddenly constricted.

"Indeed, if it's truly so, then I can possess a lifespan far longer than others in the future! If I can't eliminate my enemies now, then I will wait for my enemies to die and eradicate their families! But, if it is so, then what price must I pay?"

"Sky Crossing Demon King, what price must I pay?"

Cao Wentian pondered in his heart.

He thought to himself that if the price he had to pay wasn't significant and was within his capacity, then he would agree to the Sky Crossing Demon King's suggestion.

"After sharing life with me, you will become like me, you must avoid sunlight and not stay exposed to it for long. If exposed to sunlight, our skin will be harmed. If our bodies are exposed for too long, we might sustain severe damage! You must think carefully, after sharing life, you will share my weaknesses and flaws."

The Sky Crossing Demon King inwardly sneered, he merely told Cao Wentian about some changes that would occur to his body after sharing life.

In fact, once they shared life, although Cao Wentian's power would climb swiftly, he would also inherit innate weaknesses inherent to the Netherworld Dark Clan.

The Sky Crossing Demon King did not inform Cao Wentian of those weaknesses; in its heart, Cao Wentian was merely a vessel.

The Sky Crossing Demon King only told Duan Gujin that after sharing life, there would be some insignificant changes in him.

Cao Wentian pondered for a moment, sensing that the Sky Crossing Demon King must have some tricks up its sleeve.

"I suspect that the Sky Crossing Demon King definitely has some tricks reserved! As long as those tricks aren't too severe, then this deal is still worth it!"

"Alright, I agree to share my life with you!"

After contemplating for a while, Cao Wentian made his final decision known to the Sky Crossing Demon King.

Upon hearing this, the Sky Crossing Demon King was overjoyed.

"Very well, come up here!"

This time, the Sky Crossing Demon King drew Cao Wentian into the Nine Nether Dark Sea.

Below, the audience saw Cao Wentian originally full of vigor, seemingly intent on wiping out everyone present.

Suddenly, his previous forcefulness vanished, replaced by confusion.

"What is Cao Wentian up to?"

The crowd knew that between Cao Wentian and the Sky Crossing Demon King, the latter was far more powerful.

As they observed the sudden change in the sky, they all had the same worry flashing through their minds.

"What are they doing up there?"

Moments later, the crowd saw Cao Wentian's aura visibly enhancing at an observable speed.

"What is Cao Wentian trying to do?"

The same thought concurrently flashed through everyone's minds.

Duan Gujin and two others frowned tightly as they looked at Cao Wentian in the sky, unsure of what was happening to him.

After a while, Duan Gujin sensed that Cao Wentian's aura was advancing towards the Martial Sect Realm.

In the sky, Cao Wentian was rapidly enhancing his power with the help of the Sky Crossing Demon King's treasure.

At this point, Cao Wentian was forcibly absorbing the power of the Sky Crossing Demon King.

Seeing this, Duan Gujin's brow furrowed deeply.

After a while, he realized that the Sky Crossing Demon King's power was rapidly diminishing, while Cao Wentian's power was soaring at an astonishing pace.

"So that's it!"

After another hour, the crowd realized that Cao Wentian had broken through to the Martial Sect Realm.

"My goodness! Cao Wentian can still break through to the Martial Sect here!"

Duan Gujin gasped in shock, hurriedly preparing for combat, ready to launch a fierce attack on Cao Wentian.

"In the martial world, speed is invincible!"
