"You darned turtle hiding in its shell, come out and talk if you dare!"
"Wu Tian, you stray dog of the Demon Ancestor Luohu, what are you being so arrogant about!"
"World-Ending Black Lotus, get out of the way, let me stab this guy to death!"
The magical treasures, upon hearing Wu Tian's taunts, could no longer bear it. They cursed incessantly and unleashed their attacks simultaneously, their power blazing forth with astonishing might.
Wu Tian, of course, couldn't hear the words of the magical treasures. Seeing the myriad of treasures under Xu Fang flying and swarming in a frenzy of attacks, he found it immensely amusing.
"This scene is like these treasures are all angry too."
Wu Tian smiled faintly, observing the treasures isolated outside by the World-Ending Black Lotus, and shook his head.
"But, what does it matter?"
"Although Island Master Xu Fang possesses many treasures, none of them can compare to my World-Ending Black Lotus!"
These words ignited the fury of the magical treasures completely.
"World-Ending Black Lotus, get out of the way, let me beat this turtle to death!"
"World-Ending Black Lotus, I know the God-Slaying Spear, we're all familiar treasures, don't be a lackey!"
"Exactly, always leave a way out, for future encounters. We all roam the Primordial Era, World-Ending Black Lotus, you better watch yourself!"
The treasures loathed Wu Tian, yet even in their anger, they understood that as long as the World-Ending Black Lotus stood, they could do nothing to Wu Tian within.
Thus, they all began shouting at the World-Ending Black Lotus, urging it to move aside and give them a chance to beat up Wu Tian.
To persuade the World-Ending Black Lotus, they even brought up the God-Slaying Spear, attempting to make it recognize the situation and clear the path.
However, the World-Ending Black Lotus remained as steadfast as a mountain, utterly unmoved.
In fact, upon hearing the treasures' pleas, it scoffed with disdain.
"You lot of trash, how dare you try to negotiate with me, the World-Ending Black Lotus? Heh heh!"
The cold laughter of the World-Ending Black Lotus resounded, its contempt undisguised.
"Back when I followed the Demon Ancestor Luohu, you bunch of treasures were still eating dirt somewhere. How dare you show off with your pile of scrap metal?"
Hearing these words, the treasures' anger intensified further.
They had gathered under Xu Fang and roamed the Primordial Era, establishing a formidable reputation, making them second to none among countless magical treasure factions.
To be repeatedly mocked by a remnant of the demonic path and a demonic treasure was simply unbearable!
Therefore, the treasures stopped wasting their breath on the World-Ending Black Lotus and charged forward one by one.
Countless beams of treasure light erupted, the sky ablaze with splendor, the might of the treasures rippling outwards, their pressure surging like a tide.
However, all this might, upon reaching the World-Ending Black Lotus, was instantly intercepted and entangled by the black aura, quickly neutralizing it.
Not only could they not harm Wu Tian within the World-Ending Black Lotus, but they couldn't even breach the Black Lotus itself!
"Damn it, I can't break through you, Black Lotus! The Treasure-Dropping Golden Coin is not convinced!"
"It's no use, the defense of this World-Ending Black Lotus is too formidable. None of us can break through!"
"Quickly send someone to the void to retrieve the God-Slaying Spear, let it meet its old friend!"
The treasures were furious, yet also helpless.
In truth, the power of the World-Ending Black Lotus was far inferior to theirs, given their sheer numbers.
But its defense was extraordinary. As long as it didn't engage in a contest of might, it could simply defend.
"Is the World-Ending Black Lotus really this strong?"
Xu Fang, watching his treasures repeatedly fail and gazing at Wu Tian seated within the black lotus, felt incredibly vexed.
Sensing Xu Fang's gaze, Wu Tian looked over and spoke with a smile.
"Island Master Xu Fang, I have long heard of your reputation and am quite wary of the treasures in your possession."
"However, as you can see, even with all your treasures unleashed, you still cannot do anything to me!"
Wu Tian shook his head. He had initially had a high chance of dealing with Patriarch Styx, even if he couldn't lure Patriarch Styx into the Sea of Blood for a massacre, he could at least suppress him.
But he never expected, after all his calculations, that Xu Fang would follow Patriarch Styx to the Sea of Blood.
With Xu Fang's abundance of treasures, even though he possessed the strength of a quasi-sage mid-stage, he dared not clash head-on, let alone with Patriarch Styx also present?
Seeing that his defensive strategy had left Xu Fang helpless, Wu Tian seized the opportunity to speak.
"Island Master Xu Fang, you and I have no grudges. Since neither can do anything to the other, why doesn't Island Master Xu Fang retreat?"
Upon hearing Wu Tian's words, how could Xu Fang not understand Wu Tian's intentions? He wanted Xu Fang to retreat so he could deal with Patriarch Styx.
Patriarch Styx also looked at Xu Fang with apprehension, fearing that this Daoist friend would leave.
"I apologize, I have no enmity with you, but Daoist Patriarch Styx has shown me great kindness. I am not someone like you, who is ungrateful."
Xu Fang replied, glancing at Patriarch Styx and comforting him.
"Rest assured, Daoist Patriarch Styx, I don't believe I can't break through this World-Ending Black Lotus today. Suppress!"
Xu Fang shouted, and the treasures once again attacked the World-Ending Black Lotus.
However, just like before, they were still unable to harm the World-Ending Black Lotus. The treasures were filled with frustration and rage.
Just then, black energy swirled on the World-Ending Black Lotus, solidifying further, appearing even more powerful than before.
"What's going on?"
Patriarch Styx exclaimed. This was already troublesome enough, why did it get stronger?
Xu Fang glanced at the description of the World-Ending Black Lotus and shook his head.
"A miscalculation. This World-Ending Black Lotus can absorb the surrounding violent energy to strengthen itself!"
Now, with Xu Fang and Patriarch Styx unable to break through, they were both becoming somewhat enraged. The treasures, too, were filled with anger and anxiety.
In such a situation, violent energy arose and was naturally absorbed by the World-Ending Black Lotus to enhance itself.
Upon hearing this, Patriarch Styx became even more despairing. It was already difficult to fight, and now the difficulty coefficient had skyrocketed!
"As expected of Island Master Xu Fang, you have a thorough understanding of the situation of treasures in the world. Your title as the treasure hunter of the Primordial Era is truly well-deserved!"
Wu Tian clapped his hands in praise, then chuckled.
"Heh heh! Since that's the case, Island Master Xu Fang, knowing that the task is impossible, why don't you retreat?"
Wu Tian's face was full of smiles, confident of victory. In this situation, even if they had the strength to suppress him, they couldn't unleash it. He only needed to wear down their patience.
"Haha! How exhilarating! I never thought that after the fall of Demon Ancestor Luohu, we would still have such a moment of glory! It's far better than the God-Slaying Spear!"
The World-Ending Black Lotus also burst into laughter. With itself as a single treasure, it had defeated so many treasures. This was a feat that even the Demon Ancestor Luohu in his prime had never achieved!
Xu Fang, listening to the words of the demon and the treasure, was also filled with annoyance.
Was there truly no way to deal with them?
Should he really bring in the God-Slaying Spear to help, and teach them a lesson about being demons and treasures?
