CHAPTER 48: CHAPTER 48: WATCHING COLDLY, GAMBLING WITH LIFE

"Ah, my hand..."

The Transcendent clutched his mangled arm, screaming in agony.

The nearby Transcendents quickly gathered around, urgently asking, "What on earth happened? How did it get like this?"

However.

The injured Transcendent gritted his teeth, painfully saying, "I don’t know why either, but this All Heavens Reflecting True Crystal seems odd. The moment I caught it, I felt some mysterious great force within it..."

"My entire arm couldn’t bear it and exploded directly."

Everyone present heard this and their gaze fell upon the All Heavens Reflecting True Crystal almost embedded in the man’s hand bones.

Among them, an Overlord Level expert, disregarding the injured Transcendent, forcibly took the All Heavens Reflecting True Crystal from his hand and began to study it carefully.

"There’s nothing different..."

"I can’t feel any great power on it either."

At this moment.

Su Qi also came closer. He stared at the injured Transcendent’s arm, and a thought suddenly occurred to him. He pondered, "My friend, about your injury..."

"I have a way to heal it. Would you like me to treat it?"

Hearing that this top-level big shot was offering to heal him, the injured Transcendent quickly nodded like a pecking chicken, his expression eager, "Yes, of course, yes."

"I didn’t expect this lord to be skilled in healing, about the treatment fee..."

Evidently, this Transcendent was very astute, knowing that nothing in this world comes without a price.

Su Qi raised a finger, "One All Heavens Reflecting True Crystal for one treatment."

"Hiss..."

Everyone couldn’t help but draw a sharp breath; wasn’t this taking advantage of the situation!?

Outside, using cell repair technology to restore a lost arm would cost only a few million.

However, considering this mysterious big shot’s strength...

He seemed like he didn’t even need to take advantage of the situation to rob them, hmm... that’s fine.

The injured Transcendent hesitated for a moment, although it pained him a bit, in the end, he chose to give up one All Heavens Reflecting True Crystal to have his injury treated.

After all.

In this perilous place, being dragged down by an injury could very possibly mean losing his life here.

Besides, he had harvested quite a lot of All Heavens Reflecting True Crystals, no less than fifteen in total!

At worst, it was just doing the mysterious big shot a favor; if he was remembered by the big shot, and something happened later, the big shot might lend him a hand.

Su Qi took one All Heavens Reflecting True Crystal, casually applied a Slow Healing ability.

The injured Transcendent immediately felt a tingling sensation on his arm, and the terrifying injury began to heal quickly, at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In just a few breaths, it was completely restored and could move freely.

Everyone widened their eyes at this scene, their hearts filled with shock; the mysterious big shot actually knew healing methods.

This All Heavens Reflecting True Crystal was worth it!

With such a swift recovery, it seemed like they could go back to catching All Heavens Reflecting True Crystals again!

Exactly.

Even if there were casualties, they couldn’t dampen this group of Transcendents’ desire for the All Heavens Reflecting True Crystal!

After all.

The probability of casualty wasn’t high; it didn’t necessarily have to be oneself!

The celebration continued.

Some easily caught All Heavens Reflecting True Crystals, some even managed to catch several in succession.

Others paid a terrible price to catch even one.

Some were directly smashed to death!

Su Qi, after casting a Holy Light Guardian on himself and Yun Jin, stood aside with his hands behind his back, patiently watching the feast like an outsider.

It’s a pity, he still couldn’t see through the mystery hidden in the raining streaks of light.

It seemed there was no pattern to speak of, all relying on luck.

As the number of casualties kept increasing.

Su Qi’s harvest of the All Heavens Reflecting True Crystals reached over fifty, leading the pack!

All he gave was the Slow Healing ability again and again, a way of accumulating wealth that others greatly envied.

Of course.

Had he been willing to take risks, the gains could have been beyond imagination, but he restrained himself; without insight into the patterns, he would not easily join in.

As a Support Element Transcendent, it’s naturally better for others to take on the risks.

"Since the All Heavens Reflecting True Crystals contain danger, why don’t we wait for them to land on the ground and pick them up?" someone suggested.

But things didn’t seem so simple.

The place they were in didn’t seem to be a real ground, but rather within a Star Domain.

When the All Heavens Reflecting True Crystals fell, they passed right through.

Everyone watched helplessly as the All Heavens Reflecting True Crystals beneath their feet kept moving further away, feeling extremely upset.

Such misfortune.

It was supposed to be mine...

Soon.

Others thought up different methods, if it was dangerous to catch them by hand, why not use weapons, swords to intercept them?

Seeing someone succeed.

Others also began to imitate this method.

However, there were still more than ten Transcendents who were smashed to bits along with their swords by that dreadful force!

"Is... Is the only way really to trade lives?"

Many Transcendents were both eager and fearful.

Indeed.

Even Fei Wuji, who had captured eight All Heavens Reflecting True Crystals, couldn’t help but hesitate, as he sensed that the great power contained in different All Heavens Reflecting True Crystals varied.

There was no way to identify them.

One almost went beyond what even he could handle!

An Overlord Level expert seemed to discern some patterns; he arrogantly and swiftly caught two All Heavens Reflecting True Crystals in succession.

"Those who were smashed to death were basically Control Level, they didn’t have enough strength to bear this great opportunity."

Just as he was full of joy, reaching for the third All Heavens Reflecting True Crystal.

Suddenly.

A vast great power surged through his arm, instantly pervading his entire body.

Bang!

An Overlord Level expert.

Without any warning, without any resistance.

Exploded like a balloon!

In a flash of terror-stricken eyes of those around, it was replaced by extreme madness.

Could this scare us away?

No, it couldn’t!

Here, regardless of strength, all beings are equal!

Even strong as Overlord Level may perish, but the more All Heavens Reflecting True Crystals I catch, the longer I live!

What does this prove...

It proves that I am the child of destiny!

I am the one truly chosen by fate! Hahaha!

Death seemed to add a shade of fear to this feast, yet it stimulated everyone’s nerves even more.

Life and death are within fate, wealth and rank lie in the heavens, isn’t that the most genuine depiction of the Wilderness!?

If you’re not even aware of this, you might as well be stashed in a city district as a wealthy idler, indulging every day in pursuits of pleasure!

Extreme...

Madness.

Greed.

Melded together fiercely, reaching a peak, at this moment, an indescribable change occurred in everyone’s hearts.

Watching all this, Su Qi inexplicably recalled a question from the internet in his previous life—

If there were a button in front of you, pressing it would give you a fifty percent chance of dying, and a fifty percent chance of gaining a billion.

Would you press it?

How many times would you press it...
