Chapter 2352
"You all... have gone too far!" Jue Wuqing roared with a deliberately sobbing voice, turning to glare at Zi Chen, "From this day forward, you and I are mortal enemies!"
Despite his fierce curses, his hands moved with lightning speed, pressing the array to infuse the Flame Dragon Realm twenty times in succession—a full two thousand Chaos Units!
With odds of 0.5 to 35, if Chen Xuan loses, this single bet would be enough to force him to auction off the entire ancestral property of the Heartless Holy Land to pay off the debt.
As for Chen Xuan's fate?
Everyone present knew perfectly well that if they lost, the only outcome would be death and the debts wiped clean.
Above the sky, the odds of 0.5 to 35 intertwined with the glow of the sunset, dazzling and eye-catching.
Even seasoned immortal kings felt a chill run down their spines and their scalps tingle upon seeing this – winning meant a fortune, but losing meant all the chaotic units they had bet on today would be enough to empty their coffers, and they might even have to sign life-or-death debts and mortgage their very essence to escape.
"Unbelievable! A mere twenty-odd junior Celestial Immortals have managed to escalate the betting to such a scale!" A Celestial King unconsciously tapped the armrest of his chair with his fingertips, his face as solemn as iron.
"It's more than astonishing! The original bets plus off-site bets totaled nearly 700 million Chaos Units. Even ordinary First-Class Immortal Kings might not dare to enter this game easily!"
"Winged Brilliance will surely win this battle! Chen Xuan is nothing but a desperate, mad gambler; he won't last long." Another True Immortal sneered, his tone resolute.
"Just now, Chi Mang said he wouldn't use the 'Golden Rainbow of the Sun' and would suppress his strength, but he didn't make a vow to the Heavenly Dao—what does a verbal agreement count for? Losing a little face in exchange for two Seven-Colored Immortal Golds is a sure win!"
“That makes sense! With victory or defeat at hand, what is the value of face? Even if Chen Xuan has hidden tricks up his sleeve, he has absolutely no chance of winning.”
"Both sides enter!" The True Immortal Puppet's cold shout interrupted the discussion, the sound wave causing the void to tremble slightly.
The previous mania and anger on Chen Xuan's face gradually faded, leaving only indifference.
He raised his eyes and swept them over the people from the Winged Blade Realm, the Heavenly Demon Realm, and the Celestial Realm. His voice was calm but carried immense power: "Winged Blade, and you all—once this battle begins, there will be no turning back for either of us. Have you thought it through?"
"Enough with the nonsense!" The purple-robed holy son glared angrily. "You dared to wager my sect's Innate Purple Light Mirror, which means this is a fight to the death!"
"Chen Xuan, in the battle of Devouring Demon Star Void, you devoured the Seven-Colored Immortal Gold all by yourself, leaving my Heavenly Demon Realm's Holy Son to shield you from the calamity. This is a great disgrace, and I will avenge it today!" The Heavenly Demon Holy Son gritted his teeth, his demonic aura surging around him.
"Hmph, only now are you scared?" Palace Mistress Mengdie fluttered her robes, her eyes filled with contempt and coldness. "You killed my cousin and repeatedly treated me with disrespect and rudeness. You should have expected this day to come!"
Seeing Chen Xuan's feigned composure, Chi Mang slightly fluttered his golden wings, the tips of his feathers gleaming coldly, and sneered:
"What? You've come to your senses after the impulsive act? It's too late to regret it now!"
He surveyed the entire arena, laughing triumphantly, "Many senior experts and powerful figures inside and outside the arena have already placed their bets. If you dare to back down or try any tricks, you will be directly judged to have lost by the rules of Boundless City! But don't worry, considering that you brought two Seven-Colored Immortal Gold, I will spare your body and not hold a grudge against a dying man."
"Chen Xuan of the human race, enter the battlefield immediately, or you will be declared the loser!" The True Immortal Puppet's tone was icy, showing no room for compromise.
Chen Xuan slowly turned around, his gaze sweeping over Dao Yi, Huang Quan, and the others—they were still feigning dejection and wailing, but they understood each other the moment their eyes met his.
A hint of a smile flashed across Chen Xuan's eyes. He blinked quietly, then put his hands behind his back, stepped into the void, and slowly flew towards the battlefield.
A gentle breeze ruffled his snow-white hair, his black robes fluttered in the wind, and his figure stood tall and straight like a pine tree on Kunlun Mountain, a faint smile playing on his lips. Even with the gazes of hundreds of True Immortals and Immortal Kings focused on him, he showed no sign of unease, but rather an air of composure that allowed him to stand out from the crowd.
This appearance instantly drew ridicule from the entire audience:
"What are you pretending for! What's so amazing about a spendthrift who's gambled away the sect's fortune?"
"Get on the field and face your death! Or just admit defeat to avoid getting beaten up and losing face!"
"Hahaha, I've bet everything on Winged Light. Even with odds of only 0.5, I can still net a thousand Chaos Units. Thanks to this adorable little Chen Xuan!"
“That’s not quite right.” A refined-looking Immortal King stroked his beard and spoke calmly, “Just considering that he can raise the betting pool to seven hundred million Chaos Units, this young man has already made a name for himself in the major Supreme Dojos of the first and second lines of defense. He is by no means an ordinary talent.”
"Qu Cong, you're arguing again! No wonder you advanced so quickly, you just pick on twisted logic to praise people? Tell me, how much did you bet?"
Qu Cong shook his head and chuckled: "I am not fond of gambling, I am here purely to observe the ceremony."
Upon hearing this, the powerful figures around them cast strange glances, their eyes seemingly saying, "You're just wasting space by coming here to reserve a spot instead of gambling."
Meanwhile, in a private room on the ninth floor of Louwailou, Qifeng and Anye exchanged a glance, both seeing shock in each other's eyes.
"A mere junior at the Celestial Immortal Realm can actually manipulate a betting pool of seven hundred million Chaos Units?" Qi Feng's Adam's apple bobbed as he clicked his tongue in astonishment. "I've witnessed dozens of juniors fighting to the death, but I've never seen anyone go to such lengths!"
"Such a betting pool is something only first-class Immortal Kings and God Kings are qualified to touch, yet a mere Celestial Immortal has overturned the entire structure." The Dark Night God King was also full of amazement.
The state of mind of Daojun Liuyue has already undergone several changes - from the disappointment after Chen Xuan's crushing defeat in the sixth game, to the doubt when Chimang mocked him and Chen Xuan angrily bet on the Immortal Gold, and now to Chen Xuan guiding the powerful into the game step by step, the turmoil in his heart is hard to calm down.
"First, he accepted the forced bet from Chi Mang, and then used his crazy attitude to lure more Immortal Kings and True Immortals into the game." June stared at Chen Xuan, who calmly entered the arena, and tapped the table with her fingertips. Her eyes became more and more profound. "When Chi Mang tested you for the second time that the bet was unfair, you angrily threw away the Innate Purple Light Mirror, confirming your crazy appearance of losing your Dao heart."
At this point, his pupils suddenly contracted, and he was secretly alarmed:
"A series of emotional build-ups and atmosphere creations have naturally led all the powerful beings to place heavy bets. Chen Xuan, I was right about you. Regardless of the outcome of this battle, just considering your strategic planning and meticulous execution, you have far surpassed many True Immortals, and even Immortal Kings!"
A smile of appreciation appeared on June's lips, and her gaze towards Chen Xuan softened further.
"Even if you are not one of the three dark horses that my senior sister mentioned, your wisdom alone is enough to make me look at you differently. A leader is one who plans the overall situation and controls people's hearts, and this young man is already showing the beginnings of that."
He used his supernatural powers to eavesdrop on Chen Xuan and the others' plans throughout the entire process, watching the scheme unfold from its inception to its completion, from scheming against juniors to restraining powerful figures. He was filled with shock – Chen Xuan was not scheming against the Void Reversers or Celestial Immortals, but against the hundreds of True Immortals, Immortal Kings, and God Kings present who were several realms above him, and not a single one of them saw through it!
"Interesting, truly interesting." June tossed a jade bottle onto the table, looked at Seven Peaks and Dark Night, and laughed, "Why don't you two join me for this final round of fun?"
"Heh, you think I'm afraid of you?" Qi Feng raised an eyebrow and immediately took out his treasure to place a bet. "I want to see if this kid can pull off anything!"
"Hahaha, you're offering us a treasure, how can we refuse? Let's bet!" The Dark Night God King laughed and waved his hand, channeling his bet into the array pattern.
Meanwhile... on the life-or-death arena.
