Library of Heaven's Path 2: Eternal Fate of the Heavens

It was indeed another bronze artifact forged by Prince Shen Ling during the soul ritual.

In total, there were four bronze artifacts, and he had managed to obtain two of them. Truly a household of wealth. He was indeed very rich.

"What should we do? His resources haven't run out yet. If we let him continue the soul ritual, we will no longer have any chance..."

Someone exclaimed. Experience more on My Virtual Library Empire

Everyone's expression simultaneously darkened.

Everyone had fought desperately to come here; who wouldn't want to obtain the inheritance? Even if they couldn't get to the very core, even just a peripheral piece would mean entrance into the ranks of those with Second-level Heavenly Destiny, with limitless prospects for the future!

Therefore, they couldn't possibly miss this opportunity.

Humm!

As more items for the soul ritual were added, the second cauldron broke through the space and fell down, caught by Prince Shen Ling. With a flick of his wrist, he placed it into his storage ring.

After collecting two bronze tripods, Prince Shen Ling grabbed in large hand, gathering all the remaining celestial treasures and resources into his storage ring, then looked around again, "Everyone, as you have seen, relying on my resources, forging another bronze tripod should not pose a problem, but... I am willing to give this opportunity to you all! Those who wish to forge, may do so with their own abilities. Let's meet again in three days!"

Having said that, Prince Shen Ling took a step back with his Shen Wujun and the death soldiers and walked towards the outside of Zhilan Valley.

"This..."

Everyone had been thinking, if he continued the soul ritual, they would have rushed to stop him. They had not expected him to stop outright, actively yielding the opportunity when he clearly had the resources. In a flash, they were all stunned.

"Prince Shen Ling is so noble!"

"If none of us can forge the Heavenly Destiny of Ceremony in the end, I'd rather he obtain it than let anyone else have it!"

"Yes, he's refined and courteous, measured in his actions, indeed the most suitable candidate..."

The hidden elements within the crowd continued to play their part.

Indeed, with these words spreading, many people began to waver.

"He's talented!"

Witnessing all of Prince Shen Ling's actions, Zhang Xuan couldn't help but commend him.

It had to be said, truly befitting a member of the royal family, his thoughts were indeed meticulous.

The items he brought might indeed allow for the third bronze tripod to descend through the soul ritual, but it would surely attract everyone's covetousness. At that time, whether he could keep it would also be uncertain.

Rather than risking that, it's better to willingly share the profit with everyone. Not to mention gaining favor, perhaps later, if he wanted to trade these items for the bronze tripod, people might agree!

Mo Baiye was clever as well, but compared to Prince Shen Ling, there was no difference from a fool.

"I want to give it a try..."

"I want to try too!"

"Let's all go together!"

As Prince Shen Ling left, those present immediately started discussing excitedly, ready to rush over. However, before they got close, they saw more than ten Galaxy Realm 6-dan experts once again encircle the altar.

"Shi Yunjing, what are you planning to do?" A voice shouted out in anger.

The ones surrounding the altar were none other than the Heavenly Destiny Hall Master Shi Yunjing and Qian Yuhuan of the Zouyi Dynasty.

The two powerful clans together, with more than 20 Galaxy 6-dan Peak experts, were an absolute force to be reckoned with among the present crowd.

"Nothing much, we'll forge first. If our resources aren't enough, then we'll trouble the rest of you..."

Shi Yunjing waved his hand dismissively, not bothering with more idle talk. With a flip of his wrist, a bunch of artifacts appeared. The rest of the people did likewise, throwing out their artifacts, and in just over a dozen breaths, the ground was likewise filled with a large pile of resources.

With the onset of the soul rituals, the artifacts on the ground turned into pure streams of Strength, extending towards the sky. After an indeterminate amount of time, just as the resources were about to run out, the cliffs trembled and a Bronze Tripod flew down.

Shi Yunjing reached out and caught the giant cauldron, storing it in his storage ring, and led the people of Heavenly Destiny Hall and Wanxiang Hall out of the Zhilan Valley.

The remaining crowd exchanged glances, but none dared to speak up.

After all, with over twenty Galaxy 6-dan fighters and one Galaxy 7-dan, even Du Xinyu would not dare to cause trouble, let alone the others.

"Zhang Xuan, there's only one left, shall we perform the ritual sacrifice? Our Fu Family may not be as wealthy as the royalty and Heavenly Destiny Hall, but we can still bring out some resources. Perhaps we could make the last one descend..."

Fu Qingyao looked at Zhang Xuan and communicated via a soul transmission.

She had no intention to change her practice of the Fox Charm Destiny. Therefore, the likelihood of inheriting the Heavenly Destiny of Ceremony was slim to none, but this "son-in-law" in front of her was a possibility!

If he succeeded, it meant that the Fu Family would have an expert with control over the Second-level Heavenly Destiny to rely on, with boundless prospects ahead.

So, she would not hesitate to invest where needed.

"No need, the last one will definitely provoke fierce competition. Let's just stand aside and enjoy the show," Zhang Xuan waved his hand.

If he truly intended to contest for the cauldron through ritual sacrifice, he would've acted when the first Bronze Tripod descended. The reason he had remained motionless was that he did not want to waste effort and resources.

"Really not going to make a move? This is an opportunity..." Fu Qingyao's face was filled with doubt.

She had never seen someone who remained unmoved even in the face of a Second-level Heavenly Destiny.

"Opportunities are not obtained like this, just wait and see!" Zhang Xuan waved his hand again, leading the people from the Fu Family and several disciples towards a corner of Zhilan Valley.

"Last one, I'll fight anyone who dares to snatch it!"

"Indeed, we've risked life and limb to get here. If we can't even grasp one opportunity, we might as well be dead!"

"I must use my resources for this ritual sacrifice..."

Before even leaving the center, as expected, everyone's eyes turned red, and they all charged towards the altar.

"Get out of the way!"

Before reaching close, a barrage of forces crisscrossed.

A Galaxy 6-dan peak fighter threw a punch at a Galaxy 5-dan, exploding his head, only to have his own chest pierced by someone else.

This scene was being repeated everywhere, as the whole Zhilan Valley, no longer quiet, turned into a hellish battleground in the frenzy to seize the opportunity.

Mo Baiye, too, fought desperately for the last chance, wielding his Mo Dao nonstop. Du Xinyu closely followed, thrusting his knife out over and over.

At first, everyone showed some restraint, but with the growing number of deaths, many lost control, fearing their possessions would be stolen or the opportunity lost, they attacked on sight.

"How could this happen?" Fu Qingyao's eyes widened in disbelief.

Just moments ago, everyone was still clear-headed. How could they suddenly become like this? As if entering a pack of wolves.

"This is human nature..."

Zhang Xuan shook his head.

Everyone has a sunk cost, having come so close to grasping an opportunity for grasping the fragments of the heavens after so much peril, who could easily let go?

Thus, for even the slightest glimmer of hope, they wouldn't give up.

In just over ten minutes, the valley that held hundreds reduced its numbers by nearly half, with at least three hundred dead!

"Something's not right... Empyrean Kong shi has yet to show himself; could he have already anticipated this?"

Suddenly, a thought crossed Zhang Xuan's mind.
