Chaos is the root of power.
The weak die, the strong unite.
Four great worlds, the Thunder Realm, the Desire Realm, the Seven Kill Realm, and the Cold Realm.
The Thunder Realm, ruled by Lei, possessed the ultimate yang and rigid thunder law. Pan Shi Heavenly Emperor joined the Thunder Realm. Including the ruler Lei, five sixth-rank Heavenly Emperors were stationed there.
The Desire Realm cultivated the great path of desire, with four sixth-rank Heavenly Emperors.
The Seven Kill Realm and the Cold Realm each had four sixth-rank Heavenly Emperors.
Among the four great worlds, the Thunder Realm was the strongest.
"Your name is Chen Fan?"
The ruler of the Thunder Realm approached Pan Shi.
His entire being was imbued with a powerful thunderous force, and his supremely rigid and yang aura caused the strong cultivators from the Desire Realm nearby to frown and instinctively move away.
"Yes."
Chen Fan nodded, looking at the other.
The ruler of the Thunder Realm spoke directly, "How about joining my Thunder Realm?"
"Huh?"
Chen Fan was momentarily stunned.
What did he mean?
Pan Shi Heavenly Emperor's expression changed; he harbored great hatred for Chen Fan.
Seeing that the ruler of the Thunder Realm intended to annex the Life and Death Realm, he quickly said, "My Lord, you cannot. This person controls life and death, forges yin and yang... If such a monstrous talent is recruited, it will surely be a great disaster in the future."
Such a heaven-blessed monstrous talent, if not properly managed, could not be easily recruited.
It was highly possible that they would be usurped.
Lei waved his hand, "It's nothing. They can integrate into the Great Dao universe."
He then looked at Chen Fan and continued, "Serve me as your master, and you can live."
The ruler of the Seven Kill Realm stepped out, looking at Lei with a cold laugh, "What, already trying to poach people?"
The Life and Death Realm was now a large cake, and the four great worlds were here to divide it.
The ruler of the Cold Realm also spoke, "We agreed that my four realms would divide the Life and Death Realm equally. What, is your Thunder Realm picking first?"
The Desire Realm remained silent.
Lei shook his head, "I only want this person. The rest is all yours."
He valued Chen Fan's talent.
Compared to the other powerhouses and world origins of the Life and Death Realm, he was more eager to recruit Chen Fan as his subordinate.
He had received some exclusive insider information from Pan Shi.
"Oh?"
The gaze of the ruler of the Seven Kill Realm fell upon Chen Fan, a smile in his eyes, "To make Lei willing to give up such a large piece of meat, it must be for even more meat."
"It seems you hold a great secret."
No one present was foolish.
The ruler of Lei was known for never taking a loss.
They had joined forces many times before, starting from when they were fifth-rank great worlds.
After tens of thousands of years, this was the first time the ruler of Lei had voluntarily relinquished food.
"Heh heh."
The ruler of the Cold Realm was a woman.
At this moment, she also reacted and looked at Lei, "What secret is it? Tell us, or we won't back down."
They had already considered the Life and Death Realm as theirs.
Lei wanting to monopolize the larger share was out of the question.
The other three realms would not allow it.
"Hmph."
Lei snorted, "You're overthinking it. I'm merely valuing his talent and the Dao of Life and Death, Yin and Yang."
"You think we don't value it?" Seven Kill did not retreat.
Lei frowned, "What do you want?"
"Simple..."
Seven Kill smiled, "As long as the Thunder Realm is willing to offer some compensation, I will step back. Of course... I can't speak for the other two, I can only represent my Seven Kill Realm."
Lei looked at Seven Kill coldly, but Seven Kill did not yield.
*Heh...*
You are so obviously coveting Chen Fan, and you think we are foolish enough to back down without getting anything?
"..."
Lei fell silent.
After a while, he actually nodded, "Alright, tell me what you want."
"Tang Bi..."
Seven Kill directly pointed at a sixth-rank Heavenly Emperor from the Thunder Realm and said with a smile, "My Seven Kill Realm practices the Seven Star Killing Dao. Tang Bi's Dao of Killing is very suitable for my Seven Kill Realm."
Tang Bi, behind Lei, showed no change in his expression.
To the rulers of the realms, these individuals were merely commodities to be traded.
They had all submitted and joined the Great Dao universe. Their lives were no longer their own.
Once a person submits, they lose their ambition.
Without ambition, their future is sealed; survival is all that matters.
"Seven Kill."
Lei's expression turned grim, "Do you know what you are saying?"
"Of course, I do."
Seven Kill was unfazed by Lei's threat.
The Seven Kill Realm was not necessarily afraid of the Thunder Realm.
If you want the person, you can have them... as long as you can afford the price.
"..."
Lei fell silent.
After a while, he actually nodded, "Fine."
He agreed.
However, he still added, "You can have the person, but they will not take the Dao power of my Thunder Realm with them."
"Naturally..." Seven Kill smiled.
With one more person, Seven Kill had gathered five.
He was one step closer to completing the Seven Kill.
Under the gaze of Lei and Seven Kill, Tang Bi reluctantly severed his connection to the Thunder Realm's Dao and reconnected to the Seven Kill Realm's Great Dao universe.
He was somewhat resigned, yet helpless.
"Thank you."
Seven Kill was a man of his word and immediately took a step back.
His part was over. As for the Desire Realm and the Cold Realm, it had nothing to do with him.
"I don't want anything."
Unexpectedly, the ruler of the Cold Realm wanted nothing. Instead, he said, "Let's divide the world normally, with each realm taking a quarter. I only want the portion that belongs to the Thunder Realm."
In other words, the Cold Realm would take half of the share for itself.
One-third was unacceptable.
"No."
The Desire Realm disagreed, "The Thunder Realm is withdrawing, and the division is one-third. Half... is impossible."
The negotiation thus reached a stalemate.
The Seven Kill Realm was indifferent. He could even give up the cake in front of him.
A top-tier Heavenly Emperor compatible with the Seven Kill Dao was, in his eyes, more important than the cake before them.
"..."
The negotiation reached a stalemate.
"Hey, hey, hey."
However, the cake-dividers had forgotten whether the cake itself was willing.
Chen Fan was displeased, "Did you forget about me?"
The gazes of the four realm rulers shifted towards him, then away.
Seventeen Heavenly Emperors pressing down, do you think you can still resist?
"Really..."
Chen Fan glanced at the Immortal Emperor beside him, "What do you say?"
"Heh."
The Immortal Emperor also had a bad temper.
He let out a cold laugh, "You don't take us seriously, do you?"
"So..."
*Boom.*
The Immortal Emperor went berserk.
His black and gold staff struck out directly.
The nearest Heavenly Emperor was instantly suppressed by the black staff.
The Great Dao was like a dragon, all the physical Dao, all one hundred and eighty energy orbs, were poured into the Emperor's weapon.
An eighth-rank Emperor's weapon, a full-power strike from a sixth-rank Heavenly Emperor.
*Boom.*
A sixth-rank Heavenly Emperor from the Cold Realm, before he could react, was struck by this sudden blow.
His physical body exploded with a 'bang'.
Simultaneously, his Great Dao shattered as well.
"Haha."
The Immortal Emperor laughed heartily.
Having successfully launched a surprise attack, he casually swept out his hand, plundering the scattered Dao and directly stuffing it into the Life and Death Realm.
"..."
Silence.
An eerie, profound silence.
Everyone was stunned.
Until...
"You are seeking death."
The ruler of the Cold Realm instantly exploded with rage.
A subordinate Heavenly Emperor had died just like that, right before his eyes.
He had vanished into thin air without even a chance to resist.
He could not accept this.
