CHAPTER 857: CHAPTER 857: ENTERING THE RIFT

"Determined to win?"

In Taishang Wuqing’s eyes, traces of chill flickered. The Supreme Divine Status was Taishang Ni’s target, and it was also his. If Taishang Ni desired it, how could he not want it? This divine status, he was equally determined to win.

"If that’s the case, then who among us is qualified to seize that divine status? It’ll come down to skill!"

A cold voice echoed.

This person went straight toward the firmament; he aimed to enter the Hongmeng Rift.

"Taishang Wuqing?"

Watching Taishang Wuqing head towards the Hongmeng Rift in the firmament, traces of chill flickered in Taishang Ni’s eyes. The two were rivals, fully aware of each other’s formidable nature. If either seized that Supreme Divine Status...

Fearfully, neither would spare the other.

What does it mean to be this second person? Once Taishang Wuqing seizes the Supreme Divine Status, he would undoubtedly kill Taishang Ni, leaving no potential peril behind for himself.

In the heavens.

"Buzz, buzz!"

The blood rained down from the void, and at that moment, terrifying energies vibrated. As the blood approached the ground, it weirdly vanished, and simultaneously, an immense aura rose from the Hongmeng Rift.

"Hongmeng Pathway, open!"

The vast voice emanated from that rift, and upon hearing it, Ren Changsheng’s eyes instantly shone brightly. He promptly activated the Supreme Eye, and after a moment, the Hongmeng Rift in the firmament disappeared.

What appeared before Ren Changsheng.

Was an endless expanse of laws and paths—the Hongmeng Pathway—with terrifying laws and paths interwoven, emitting fearsome power from that region, a truly daunting area.

"Who is it?"

Ren Changsheng’s eyes subtly gleamed. The area defined by these laws seemed empty, but Ren sensed a dreadful force lurking deeper within that region. Unfortunately, his Supreme Eye merely allowed him to probe this far.

Going further.

Was already very difficult!

"The Hongmeng Pathway has opened; this Hongmeng Rift is certainly not simple!"

Ren Changsheng pondered to himself.

Within that rift lay more than just the pathway opportunities; there were also Hongmeng Gods, even more terrifying—the Hongmeng Supreme Divine Status, which even the cultivators of divine statuses, Taishang Ni and Taishang Wuqing, desired.

"The Hongmeng Pathway has opened, hurry into the Hongmeng Rift to seize those opportunities!"

"Enter the Hongmeng Rift—even if you can’t seize the pathway opportunity, you must secure a Hongmeng God so that next time the rift opens, you’ll still have a chance to seize the Supreme Divine Status!"

"Enter the Hongmeng Rift..."

...

One by one, figures darted towards the Hongmeng Rift, and at this moment, Taishang Wuqing had already reached the edge of the rift. He turned his head, giving Ren Changsheng a profound glance before stepping into the rift.

"Boy, you’re quite impressive!"

The cold voice, although seemingly a compliment, sparked traces of chill in Ren Changsheng’s eyes. Being praised by Taishang Wuqing? He certainly wasn’t a good person. If given the chance, he would certainly erase Ren.

Ren Changsheng was sure.

When it came time for him to be killed, there’d be no hesitation!

In Taishang Wuqing’s view, besides the Hongmeng Supreme Divine Status, other things were secondary. If Ren aimed to seize that status, he would inevitably clash with him!

"Enter the Hongmeng Rift!"

From the firmament, figures fervently gazed at the Hongmeng Rift, following Taishang Wuqing in, while group after group darted directly into the rift.

In moments.

Dozens had already entered!

"Boy, I’m waiting for you!"

The cold voice echoed. Taishang Ni, leading the experts from the Heavenly Rebel Palace, headed towards the Hongmeng Rift. His gaze at Ren Changsheng unabashedly revealed his intent to kill.

But the unfortunate truth was.

Ren Changsheng’s strength was too formidable, and with the rift opening, Taishang Ni didn’t want to face him head-on. If something happened, it would affect his seizure of the Hongmeng God; he dared not gamble and aimed to maintain his state.

Contesting with Taishang Wuqing.

To seize that Supreme Divine Status!

"I’ll be waiting for you too!"

Ren Changsheng’s eyes remained calm and steady. Although Taishang Ni was strong, Ren was unafraid. In a true fight, the outcome was uncertain; but if he seized a Hongmeng God...

Things would be different!

Taishang Ni would surely not spare Ren. If he captured a Hongmeng God, both Ren and Taishang Wuqing would be marked for death to eliminate any potential future rivals!

Because Taishang Ni understood well.

The Ren Changsheng before him.

Was a remarkable prodigy!

Ren Changsheng’s cultivation hadn’t yet reached the Great Dao Realm, but his physique had already ascended to it. How terrifying was this? If Ren broke through to the Great Dao Realm, how formidable would his power be?

"Buzz, buzz!"

Upon the Chaos Origin Continent, figures entered the Hongmeng Rift, and Ren Changsheng couldn’t bother with these people, most of whom were at the Taishang Realm; others were at the Supreme Realm and Heaven Rank.

Ren estimated.

The supreme ones going in were marching to their deaths, while those at Heaven Rank might last a few days, and that was already commendable!

"Human Emperor!"

A low voice sounded, and beside Ren Changsheng appeared a figure—it was Bu Yi. At that moment, Bu Yi was exceedingly excited; last time the pathway opportunities arose, his cultivation was limited.

He dared not enter the Hongmeng Rift.

But this time.

His cultivation had reached the Taishang pinnacle, notably possessing fragments of the five Great Dao, making him capable of entering the rift. Even if seizing the Supreme Divine Status was impossible, capturing the pathway opportunity was very likely.

At worst.

He intended to procure a Hongmeng God!

"Bu Yi, how much do you know about this Hongmeng Rift?"

Ren Changsheng asked solemnly.

"Know?"

Bu Yi hesitated briefly, then replied gravely: "The Hongmeng Rift is incredibly mysterious. Each appearance heralds the advent of pathway opportunities. Seizing them allows one to ascend to the Great Dao Realm!"

"Furthermore, the Hongmeng Rift is perilous. Inside, it’s teeming with Hongmeng mythical beasts whose battle strength rivals those at the Great Dao level, and quite possibly even more fearsome ones exist!"

Bu Yi’s eyes showed a hint of dread.

"Mythical beasts beyond the Great Dao level?"

Ren Changsheng’s eyes flashed sharply.

"Apart from that, there are the Hongmeng Gods. Although the rift is dangerous, it’s filled with countless Hongmeng Gods. Even those with slightly weaker cultivation can, with sufficient luck, secure a Hongmeng God. Once out and they refine this god, they can ascend to the Great Dao Realm!"

Gazing at Ren Changsheng, Bu Yi spoke again.

"Hongmeng God?"

Ren Changsheng’s eyes subtly gleamed. Supreme Divine Status, pathway opportunities, Hongmeng Gods—where did these things come from? How did the Hongmeng Rift originate, offering such treasures?
