Chapter 2440 - Primordial Spatial Worm


Chapter 2440: Primordial Spatial Worm

Yan Zhexian was happy to win, but she didn’t want to lose. She said, “If you can really prove the value of this worm, more than 1,000 Godstones. If I win, I’ll give it to you for free.”

“Okay! I’ll remember that!” said Zhang Ruochen.

Zhang Ruochen walked up to Seven-Armed Elder, reached out his hand, and said, “Senior, can you let me keep this worm for the time being?”

Seven-Armed Elder opened his palm, and the colorful worm flew into Zhang Ruochen’s palm under the cover of spiritual power.

For some reason, the colorful light on the worm’s body was much dimmer than before. It had lost a lot of its lifeforce and was in low spirits.

After falling into Zhang Ruochen’s hand, the worm’s spirit suddenly increased. It opened its small, lively eyes and crawled intimately in the palm.

Its lifeforce recovered speedily.

The cultivators present were amazed.

Zhang Ruochen said, “This is the Primordial Spatial Worm. It shuttles through the universe and feeds on all kinds of Spatial Treasures. It’s the fastest creature in the world.”

Cang Baizi couldn’t help but snicker, “What Primordial Spatial Worm? I’ve never heard of it. The fastest creature in the world? I think it’s the slowest creature!”

A gambler who had bet 1,000 Godstones said, “The fastest creatures in the world are the Golden Rocs, the Nine-talons Dragons, the Heavenly Phoenixes. Some cultivators specialize in the Path of Flowing Light. The golden-winged Immortal Vampires and the jade-bone Rakshasa are also known for their speed. Have you heard that a worm can become the fastest creature in the world?”

Many cultivators laughed and shook their heads.

Zhang Ruochen said, “You are all powerful figures among the Supreme Saints. I didn’t expect you to be ignorant. How about we make a bet? I will ride this worm to Mount Immortal, which is 300,000 miles away. Whoever is faster than me and arrives before me, I will never mention that I bought the worm with 1,000 Godstones. Moreover, I will give that person 1,000 Godstones as compensation.”

Hearing this, countless people were tempted.

1,000 Godstones was definitely not a small amount.

“I’ll bet with you.”

“I’ll bet too.”

“If you follow the rules and only use this worm as a mount, and not rely on your own cultivation to travel, then I’ll bet with you too.”

Zhang Ruochen said, “Don’t worry. In front of so many powerful figures, I don’t need to play word games. It’s definitely the worm that’s traveling, not me.”

“Okay, I’ll bet too.”

“I want to join too.”

Not only did everyone in the gambling hall want to join the bet, but even the Neverwither Realm Supreme Saints who couldn’t enter the gambling hall also wanted to win Zhang Ruochen’s 1,000 Godstones.

Zhang Ruochen waved his hand and said, “Not everyone is qualified to participate in this bet. If you want to bet with me, you have to take out 1,000 Godstones.”

Countless cultivators immediately gave up. Only the thirteen Supreme Saints, including Cang Baizi, received 1,000 Godstones. They quickly threw the Godstones onto the gambling platform and they looked for Ye Xiao to be notarized, as if they were afraid Zhang Ruochen would retract his words.

Yan Zhexian secretly transmitted her voice, she reminded Zhang Ruochen, “The rules of your bet are too lax. There is a teleportation array between the House of Enchanteurs and Mount Immortal. What if they use it? Moreover, the Fane of Destiny has set up many barriers. If you want to reach Mount Immortal, you need to go through at least seven of them. So, you can’t win just by being fast.”

Zhang Ruochen was taken aback. He had no idea Yan Zhexian would think of this. This woman appeared to have a cunning side.

Of course, even if she said so, Zhang Ruochen only smiled.

Yan Zhexian frowned. She really didn’t understand what the Emperor Who Slaughtered the Heavens and Earth was thinking. The mysterious veil on this person made her even more curious.

Not all cultivators thought that Zhang Ruochen would definitely lose.

At least, the black-veiled cultivator and Seven-Armed Elder didn’t join the bet. That was because 1,000 Godstones was too little for them. Another reason was that they couldn’t figure out what Zhang Ruochen was playing and couldn’t see the result clearly.

“If you lose, you’ll have to pay 13,000 Godstones. Do you have that much to pay?”

Zhang Ruochen took out a token and pinched it between his fingers. He threw it onto the gambling table with ease.

Ye Xiao took the token and looked at it. His expression changed slightly. “The purple gold token of the Realm of Star Ocean can only be obtained by cultivators who have completed large transactions of more than 100,000 Godstones there.”

“Am I qualified to bet with you now?” Zhang Ruochen looked across and asked.

Cang Baizi and the others sneered in their hearts, tacitly acknowledging Zhang Ruochen’s wealth and strength.

Zhang Ruochen looked at the northern night sky and said, “Let’s set off from here. Let me ask you in advance. If I win, can I prove that this worm is worth more than 1,000 Godstones?”

Everyone looked at each other and finally nodded in unison.

If this worm could reach Mount Immortal 300,000 miles away before the group of top-notch Supreme Saints, it would undoubtedly prove its rarity. It was worth 1,000 Godstones, which was not too controversial.

“In that case, let’s begin!” said Zhang Ruochen.

Zhang Ruochen made a gesture and invited the thirteen Supreme Saints to leave first.

This was a huge bet involving 1,000 Godstones. The thirteen Supreme Saints didn’t hold back. They all rushed out of the gambling hall at their fastest speed.

The walls of the gambling hall were decorated with inscriptions of an array. They could only use the door.

Zhang Ruochen shook his head slightly. He slowly raised his hand and said to the Primordial Spatial Worm, “Little guy, let’s go!”

Although it was the first time they had met, the Primordial Spatial Worm was very intimate with Zhang Ruochen. It was very obedient. Its small body rolled around. Suddenly, a huge spatial energy tide erupted from its body.

Countless threads appeared in the space around Zhang Ruochen. They were quickly stretched.

The palm-sized space became as big as a palace.

The earthworm-like Primordial Spatial Worm’s body expanded and became hundreds of feet long. Like a seven-colored python, it opened its mouth and gnawed at the space. Suddenly, the space in front of it caved in and became pitch black.

Seven-Armed Elder was knowledgeable after all. He exclaimed, “Wormhole… Wormhole in space…”

Countless cultivators present were shocked to the point of numbness.

This worm had bitten out a wormhole in space.

Could it be…

Could it be that the wormholes all over the universe had been bitten out by this worm?

Some wormholes could cross a starry sky and connect to places tens of thousands of light-years away. No matter how powerful a spatial cultivator was, he couldn’t do this.

“There’s no need to compete. The winner has been decided. Lord Ye, send a message to tell them to come back!” The black-veiled cultivator said.

When he said this, the black-veiled cultivator’s eyes were fixed on Zhang Ruochen. It seemed that he wanted to see through him and understand.

Before they left the Citadel Casino, they received a message from Ye Xiao and returned to the gambling hall.

Obviously, Ye Xiao had told them about the Primordial Spatial Worm’s ability. At that moment, they were all staring at Zhang Ruochen, who was standing on top of the colorful giant worm, and the spatial wormhole that had just been gnawed on. They were both shocked and unable to accept it.

There was such a strange worm in the world.

Since it could gnaw out wormholes, the array and barrier could not stop it.

Its ability was definitely not as simple as rushing on the road.

“No wonder this guy is so confident!” Yan Zhexian’s pretty face could not help but show a charming smile.

Zhang Ruochen looked down from above and said, “Since everyone has returned, does it mean that I have already won? Cang Jie, go and collect the Godstones.”

Cang Jie’s blood was boiling. He didn’t know how to express his admiration for his senior. It was amazing. He had won more than 10,000 Godstones with just a casual attack.

The Godstones he had won before were nothing!

“I want to hang out with you, senior. I want to acknowledge you as my teacher. I want to cling to you tightly,” said Cang Jie.

Cang Jie gulped. He was very excited. He put away the bags of Godstones on the gambling platform and carried them on his back. He retreated to Zhang Ruochen’s side and stood straight.

It was as if being Zhang Ruochen’s underling was a great thing.

Clap! Clap! Clap!

A series of applause rang out. Yan Huangtu stood up and laughed, “Wonderful, wonderful. What an amazing worm. The final winner of this round should be self-evident now, right?”

Cang Baizi’s face was extremely gloomy. He stared at Zhang Ruochen with murderous intent.

The six Supreme Saints who had bet 1,000 Godstones felt even colder and more murderous.

If it wasn’t for this Emperor Who Slaughtered the Heavens and Earth, they would have been the winners. How could they lose again and again?

Ye Xiao’s forehead was covered in sweat. He wasn’t sure what to do. He wanted to seek the leader’s advice.

Seven-Armed Elder suddenly said, “The wormholes in the universe are all eaten by Primordial Spatial Worms,” he said. “Such a divine worm should be worth more than 1,000 Godstones. In my opinion, they’re worth more than 560,000 Godstones.”

Hearing this, Cang Baizi and the others’ eyes lit up and immediately agreed.

“Senior Noqoilpi is right. Controlling this worm is equivalent to having a powerful Spatial Array Master. Besides, isn’t it easy to break all kinds of barriers and arrays? I think its value is even higher than a Supreme Artifact.”

“It’s a divine beast! Godstones can’t measure its value.”

“It should be Senior Noqoilpi who wins.”

They had just lost 1,000 Godstones and hated Zhang Ruochen. How could they be willing to see Zhang Ruochen go to the Primordial Spatial Worm?

Yan Huangtu and Yan Zhexian’s eyes turned cold, but they couldn’t refute these people. After all, they also felt that the Primordial Spatial Worm was very valuable.

The news of the Primordial Spatial Worm’s birth had been quickly sent out by many cultivators.

The Communication talisman flew out of the House of Enchanteurs like raindrops.

Many of them sent messages to the gods.

After all, the Primordial Spatial Worm had never been heard of or seen before. It was probably because it was hard to catch. Now, there was one that was born. Even the gods would be moved!

Seven-Armed Elder smiled and saluted Zhang Ruochen with his withered hands. He said, “Thank you, young cultivator. If you hadn’t seen the origin of the Primordial Spatial Worm, I would have lost more than half of my fortune here today. Don’t worry, I will give you 10,000 Godstones as a thank you. Now, shouldn’t you return the Primordial Spatial Worm to the real winner?”

Looking at the open palm of Seven-Armed Elder, Zhang Ruochen realized that once he handed over the Primordial Spatial Worm, it would be impossible to purchase it with another 1,000 Godstones.

Zhang Ruochen sighed and said, “You overestimate its value!”

Cang baizi chuckled. “Not at all. I’m willing to spend 570,000 Godstones to buy the Primordial Spatial Worm on behalf of the Hall of Permanence.”

“The House of Enchanteurs is willing to spend 1 million Godstones to buy the Primordial Spatial Worm.”

“The Fane of Asura is willing to spend 2 million Godstones to buy the Primordial Spatial Worm.”

Shocking bids kept ringing out.

Even a Supreme Artifact couldn’t cause such a fierce fight.

Zhang Ruochen whispered to Seven-Armed Elder, “Why don’t we sell the Primordial Spatial Worm to the Fane of Asura for 2 million Godstones? After that, we’ll split it 50-50?”

Seven-Armed Elder laughed hoarsely. “Why should I split it 50-50 with you?”

“Because if I say a few more words, the price of this Primordial Spatial Worm will fall below 150,000 Godstones. Not only will you not get one Godstone, but you’ll also have to offer a large sum of Godstones that you lost in a bet. Why should you refuse such a win-win situation?” Zhang Ruochen said with a sinister smile, “It’s a win-win situation.”

Seeing Zhang Ruochen’s smile, Seven-Armed Elder, who had been confident, became uncertain.

The Thousand-Koan Realm Supreme Saint who represented the Fane of Asura was called Xing Qian. Hearing this, he could not help but feel nervous.

Although he was a disciple of a god in the Fane of Asura, if he misjudged the value of the Primordial Spatial Worm, he would definitely die.

The Fane of Asura would never give him two million Godstones.

Only by killing him could he sever the relationship between this matter and the Fane of Asura.

“I’ve already sent the news to my master. Why hasn’t he replied?” When Zhang Ruochen and Seven-Armed Elder looked at each other without saying anything, Xing Qian was extremely nervous. He was afraid that Seven-Armed Elder would suddenly agree.

This was another grand gamble!

An even grander gamble.

The battle between Zhang Ruochen and Seven-Armed Elder.

It was a gamble of the heart.

The difference was that Zhang Ruochen’s victory was within his grasp. He was already in an undefeatable position. He just… wanted to win more.

It all depended on Seven-Armed Elder’s judgment?

Xing Qian couldn’t bear the mental torture anymore. He said in a trembling voice, “I can take it back…”

“Alright, I agree. I’ll sell it to the Fane of Asura for two million Godstones,” Seven-Armed Elder said.

At that moment, Xing Qian heard his master’s divine voice and transmitted it into his mind. “It’s just a puny worm. The price to raise it into an adult is too high and its value is limited.”

Not only Xing Qian, but the other cultivators who had sent the message also received a reply from the gods.

“Although Primordial Spatial Worms are rare, some powerful gods can still catch them. The reason why they aren’t raised is that the cost of raising them is too high. Raising one adult worm is more expensive than raising ten gods.

“Even gods can’t control the adult Primordial Spatial Worms, so they have no value.

“If there are no Spatial Treasures to devour or spatial cultivators to provide it with Saint Qi to absorb, the young Primordial Spatial Worm will die within a day.

“You can buy them to research and refine medicine. If the price of a larva exceeds 30,000 Godstones, don’t buy it!”

The Primordial Spatial Worm was very unfamiliar to Saint Realm cultivators, but the gods clearly knew of its existence. Information about the Primordial Spatial Worm spread.

Some gods gave it an estimate of 30,000 Godstones.

After all, a god that had just died was only sold for hundreds of thousands of Godstones.

Xing Qian of the Fane of Asura was ashen-faced. He looked at Seven-Armed Elder with pleading eyes and said, “I won’t buy it, I won’t buy it, the Fane of Asura won’t buy it… No, no, it is I who won’t buy it!”

Seven-Armed Elder’s aura of death was exuberant. He said, “You Fane of Asura can buy it if you want to, but you won’t buy it if you don’t want to. Do you really think I’m easy to bully?”

The outcome was set. Yan Huangtu was in a good mood. He said, “The Fane of Asura is the number one fane of the Asuras after all. There are many gods, so of course, they can look down on you, Noqoilpi.”

“The Fane of Asura also has a lot of gambling properties in the metropolis. If you don’t give me these two million Godstones, I’ll make sure that your gambling cities won’t be able to open. You’d better believe that I have such strength,” said Seven-Armed Elder.

Xing Qian knelt down on one knee and said, “Dear Sir Noqoilpi, I was wrong this time. Please let me live!”

Seven-Armed Elder naturally knew that the outcome was set. No matter how hard he tried to scare Xing Qian, he could not take out two million Godstones. The Fane of Asura would not be able to fork out this amount of money.

The final result was to force Xing Qian to death.

He had already lost. What was the point of forcing Xing Qian to death?

Seven-Armed Elder shook his head and said, “From today onwards, you will be my servant for a thousand years. Are you willing?”

“I am willing.”

Xing Qian heaved a sigh of relief. He had finally saved his life.

Seven-Armed Elder was the first-class powerhouse below divinity. In addition to his godly gambling techniques, the various major forces had no time to recruit him. Who would be willing to provoke him?

It was already the best outcome to appease his anger in such a way.

Although Xing Qian had a godly master, this matter would definitely spread to the world. For the sake of the Fane of Asura’s face, the god did not dare to interfere in the secular world and personally deal with Seven-Armed Elder.

Although the Fane of Asura did not care about killing, it cared about being looked down upon by the world.

This gamble that had alarmed countless cultivators had finally come to an end.

The winner was Yan Zhexian. After deducting all the expenses, she had earned close to a million Godstones.

Although the price of a Supreme Artifact was more than a million Godstones. However, Supreme Artifacts were priceless. Even if they were to be sold, they would be bartered with other Supreme Artifacts, elixirs, and Yuanhui sacred herbs.

In reality, many gods had never seen a million Godstones before.

With such a large amount of wealth, Yan Huangtu and Yan Zhexian were both excited and cautious.

Yan Huangtu ordered, “Send a message to Yan Yu and ask him to come to the House of Enchanteurs personally.”

High Demon Elder Kun Yunhuang said in shock, “Milord, does Master Yu need to personally handle this?”

“Do you think that a million Godstones is a small amount? Even gods would be tempted.”

“But this is the Divine Domain of Destiny.”

“The Scioness of Destiny had died in the Divine Domain of Destiny.”

After thinking for a moment, Yan Huangtu said again, “Of course, other than the Master of the Avīci Pavilion, no other gods would dare to do such a heaven-defying thing. He had asked Yan Yu to come here to collect the debt. Seven-Armed Elder and the black-veiled cultivator were not people to be trifled with. Only Yan Yu would be able to suppress them.”

“I understand!” Kun Yunhuang said.

The black-veiled cultivator and Seven-Armed Elder had only given them a bargaining chip and had yet to take out the Godstones.

For more than 500,000 Godstones, it was enough to tempt the gods. Moreover, the two of them were not gods yet. They could escape and deny the payment of the Godstones.

Even if they wanted to collect the debt from the House of Enchanteurs, they needed a powerful figure.

“Where did the Emperor Who Slaughtered the Heavens and Earth go?”

Yan Zhexian searched everywhere for Zhang Ruochen, but unfortunately, there was no trace of him in the Citadel Casino.

Among the nine palaces of the House of Enchanteurs, the Peacock Palace was where the core members of the House of Enchanteurs lived. Outsiders could not enter it.

Zhang Ruochen’s figure was invisible. He hid in the Profound Spatial Dimension and followed Lord Huanxu into the Peacock Palace.

Lord Huanxu was a Demonsky Clan Supreme Saint. His training had advanced to the Thousand-Koan Realm and was considered one of the first-rate saints. He was a gambler for the Rainbow Viburnum and he’d wagered 1,000 Godstones.

After leaving the Citadel Casino, Lord Huanxu was very careful. He changed his appearance and activated an invisible treasure. He walked around the Jadehill Palace four times before taking a small boat to the Peacock Palace.

When he arrived at the Peacock Palace, he entered a courtyard filled with exotic flowers and plants.

Zhang Ruochen came to the courtyard. With his hands behind his back, he looked around and smiled. “It’s quiet here!”

There was an array outside the courtyard.

However, it could not stop the Master of Time and Space. Zhang Ruochen quietly passed through the array and sneaked into the courtyard. He hid behind a blood-red sacred tree.

With the help of the dim light, Zhang Ruochen saw four figures standing under the pavilion in the courtyard.

He knew all four of them.

He had just seen them in the Citadel Casino.

Besides Lord Huan Xu, two other participants had bet 1,000 Godstones. They were all first-class Supreme Saint powerhouses, each with an impressive background.

The fourth person in the green robe was Cang Baizi.

Two rows of white jade spirit lamps were lit in the pavilion.

In the middle of the hall, a black figure sat. It was the mysterious black-veiled cultivator.

“Greetings, Lady Bai.”

Four Supreme Saints from different forces bowed to the pavilion at the same time.
