Chapter 858: The Last Token (1)
“Actually, these tokens are useless in our hands.”
Tang Zimeng said earnestly when she learned that Li Lingtian already had forty-nine tokens.
Even if they each had a token, they wouldn’t need 49.
At that time, he still had to take out the token. Otherwise, the Xiaoyao Immortal Palace would not be able to open.
“Hehe, I will naturally be useful when the time comes.”
Li Lingtian said with a smile. If it was useless, he would not have gotten so many of them.
Following that, Li Lingtian focused all of his energy on healing his injuries. Tang Qingyue and the rest had a rare break outside, so they naturally went out to play.
After resting in the cave for a full day, Li Lingtian left the cave and quickly flew forward.
It was unknown how far this place was from Xiaoyao Immortal Palace. He could only roughly know the location of Xiaoyao Immortal Palace from the array of the ninety-nine tokens. Although he did not know how to enter Xiaoyao Immortal Palace, he had to at least find Xiaoyao Immortal Palace first.
“Rumble!”
Li Lingtian, Bei Minxue, and Lin Zhirong flew at high speed.
However, at this moment, the island began to tremble. The entire world was trembling.
Moreover, the island was rapidly shrinking. Seeing this, the three of them were shocked. They did not dare to make the slightest movement. They could only stop and wait for the island to calm down in case something unexpected happened.
Indeed, in the blink of an eye, the originally boundless island had now returned to its original size of a thousand miles.
All the experts who had not died were already on the island.
However, there were originally more than 500 powerhouses, but now there were only more than 200. Moreover, they were all Martial God powerhouses, and there were only a few Ninth Firmament Martial Saints.
“Rumble!”
“Rumble!”
A series of earth-shattering explosions rang out on the island. Li Lingtian and the other two retreated quickly and flew backward.
At the beginning, they were flying toward the Xiaoyao Immortal Palace. At that time, the island was boundless. Now that the island had returned to its original form, it was only a thousand miles wide. Their position was very close to the Xiaoyao Immortal Palace.
Right now, there was a Martial God expert fighting above Xiaoyao Immortal Palace. Destructive attacks were constantly bombarding out.
Li Lingtian and the rest looked at the powerhouses on top of Xiaoyao Immortal Palace. They finally understood what was going on because there was a token on top of Xiaoyao Immortal Palace.
Li Lingtian looked at the token with a puzzled expression as he left a powerhouse to fight for it.
This was because the 49 tokens in his hands were all exactly the same. It was just that some of the auras and engravings inside were different.
However, the token on top of the Xiaoyao Immortal Palace was actually larger than the other tokens. Moreover, this token was emitting a scarlet color, which was different from all the other tokens.
“This command medallion is the sixty-sixth command medallion. It looks like this is the core of the formation.”
Li Lingtian looked at the token and thought to himself that it was one of the two tokens that he had asked Bei Minxue to keep an eye on previously.
The 33rd token was in his hands. However, when the 99 tokens appeared, they scattered on the island. He only had his eyes on the 33rd token, but the 66th token had disappeared.
He did not expect that none of the experts had made a move on the top of Xiaoyao Immortal Palace. It seemed that all the other tokens had been found, except for the one on the top of Xiaoyao Immortal Palace.
Just now, someone had touched the token on Xiaoyao Immortal Palace, causing the island to return to its original size.
If no one touched this token, the island would not return to its original form. Similarly, if the ninety-nine tokens were not gathered, the Xiaoyao Immortal Palace would not be able to open.
In fact, all the experts would be trapped on the island forever. Now that the last token had been activated, the island returned to its original form and all the living experts gathered together.
Ninety something tokens were naturally not enough for a few hundred experts to distribute. It was certain that most of the experts did not have a token. Naturally, this token was the most intense competition.
The casualties were also the most severe. If one affected the whole body, it would basically be a narrow escape if one wanted to gather 99 tokens.
Just fighting for the token was already so intense. If they entered the Xiaoyao Immortal Palace, who knew how intense it would be.
At the thought of this, Li Lingtian was shocked. Similarly, the other powerhouses were aware of this problem.
However, this was the nature of humans. For treasures and wealth, they would take risks, even if it was a narrow escape.
“Rumble!”
“Ah, ah.”
“Kacha, kacha.”
“Boom! Boom!”
“..”
Explosions continued to ring out in the sky, and from time to time, an expert would be destroyed.
Even though they saw a Martial God being killed, the other experts didn’t stop. They didn’t just want to save face, they also wanted one last chance.
There were more than two hundred experts present, and no one had made a move. The experts fighting in the air did not know who had the token below, so they naturally did not dare to take the risk to make a move on the experts below.
Now, he could only look at the token on the Xiaoyao Immortal Palace and would not give up easily.
“Sou!”
At this moment, a First Firmament Martial God on the ground watched the battle between the experts in the sky. He thought that he had not noticed the token. His figure flashed, wanting to take advantage of the situation. However, just as he flew up, he was attacked by several experts at the same time, and he instantly disappeared.
In this place, the life of a Martial God expert was extremely fragile. They were like ants.
“Wait a moment. If anyone goes up, stop them.”
With his hands behind his back, Li Lingtian stared at the token on the top of the Xiaoyao Immortal Palace. He did not even notice the battle between the powerhouses.
He was thinking about something, but in the end, he spoke softly to Bei Minxue and Lin Zhirong.
“Yes.”
“Alright.”
Both of them agreed without hesitation. Although they did not understand why Li Lingtian did not compete for a token in other places, he chose to compete for a token in this most dangerous place.
Moreover, Li Lingtian had half of the tokens in his possession, so there was no need to take the risk.
However, even though they did not have much contact with Li Lingtian, they were confident in Li Lingtian’s style and methods.
This was because no matter what Li Lingtian did, he always put the big picture first and had his own views. He would not take such a risk unless it was absolutely necessary.
Li Lingtian’s hands were clasped behind his back. He was calm and composed without a trace of fear.
This scene was undoubtedly a mockery to countless super experts.
A Second Sky of the Martial Saint Realm was actually able to come out of danger so easily.
Facing danger was like walking on flat ground, as if they were in their own backyard.
After the first expert who wanted to take advantage was killed, no one dared to go up anymore.
They were all waiting for the last chance, waiting for the last expert above to find an opportunity to attack.
“Rumble!”
“Kacha.”
“Chi chi.”
The destructive attacks continued. There were originally six experts, but now there were only two left.
The remaining were all at the second firmament of the War God Realm. The two of them were heavily injured and did not have much of an attack.
“Pfft.”
With the sound of blood spurting out, one of the Martial Gods fell. The remaining second level Martial God expert in the air stood at the end, but he didn’t have the slightest bit of joy.
This was because he understood that he was the last person. He had become the target of all the powerhouses, and all the powerhouses were eyeing him covetously. Even a Second Firmament War God would not be able to withstand this pressure.
“I don’t want it.”
The Second Sky of the War God Realm expert could no longer withstand the invisible pressure brought by all the experts. His face was pale, and traces of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
With a flash of his body, he quickly left Xiaoyao Immortal Palace and landed on the ground.
This situation was beyond the expectations of all the experts.
He did not expect things to turn out like this. For a moment, the top of Xiaoyao Immortal Palace was empty. There was no one.
However, the token above was floating above. Everyone looked at the token, but no one was the first to go up and take it.
Li Lingtian was surprised to see this.
However, in the end, he was no longer surprised. This was because this Second Firmament Martial God was a heaven-defying supreme expert. He naturally knew when to retreat and when to retreat. His mind was also calm. He would not instantly destroy himself for the token, so it was normal for him to retreat.
The island was silent for a moment.
However, the atmosphere in the air was strange and oppressive. No one spoke.
No one fought for the token, but they all looked at the token.
“Sisi, Sisi.”
“Sisi, Sisi.”
The sound of the wind also became strange at this moment. All the experts felt extremely uncomfortable in this strange atmosphere.
“I want this token.”
At this moment, the silence in the air was broken by a calm voice.
All the experts were stunned and turned to look at the person who spoke. When they saw the person who spoke, their expressions changed several times.
There was anger, confusion, mockery, disdain, and even more shock!
It was because the person who spoke was actually a Martial Saint, a Second Sky Martial Saint that everyone looked down upon.
In this place, this Second Sky of the Martial Saint Realm was simply an ant.
The Second Sky of the Martial Saint Realm dared to speak at this time, which made people puzzled. A Second Sky Martial Saint asking for this token made them angry because a Second Sky Martial Saint actually ignored all the experts here.
What was shocking was that this Second Sky of the Martial Saint Realm could survive on this island for so long.
Indeed, the person who spoke was Li Lingtian.
As soon as Li Lingtian finished speaking, he walked forward step by step, completely ignoring the gazes of all the powerhouses.
He was elegant and had a smile on his face.
“Kacha.”
Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Li Lingtian walked toward Xiaoyao Celestial Palace step by step.
Gradually, he stood up and walked in the air as if he was climbing a flight of stairs.
This was not a big deal because any powerhouse could achieve this. However, the void trembled with every step Li Lingtian took.
Furthermore, the Inferno World beneath Li Lingtian’s feet was terrifying as if it was going to burn everything in its path.
On the other side was a world of ice, as if it wanted to freeze the world.
Every step he took left behind a fiery footprint and an icy footprint. The two extreme destruction attributes were too close to each other, but there was no repulsion between them.
Li Lingtian walked a distance of dozens of miles step by step. Although he seemed slow, each step he took covered a distance of one to two miles. He was extremely confident and did not put on any airs.
