Moments later, when Wen Yu had finished eating and drinking, Bai finally spoke.
"Is the preliminary preparation complete?"
Hearing this, Wen Yu nodded and then rummaged through his Spatial Ring for a moment before tossing out two corpses.
Bull Head and Amida.
The appearance of Bull Head was somewhat acceptable, with only a large hole in its head, but Amida... this guy had died rather tragically, his body torn apart by Wen Yu, leaving only a pile of unrecognizable flesh.
The two corpses were casually thrown on the ground by Wen Yu, and then he rummaged through his Spatial Ring again, taking out two crystal-clear magic crystals and placing them on the table.
Two eleventh level magic crystals and the corpses of two eleventh level strongmen—this was the loot from this encounter and also the key to the next plan.
Seeing the corpses tossed aside by Wen Yu, Bai and Ye Nan showed no reaction, but the eleventh-tier demonic creature Leogua had a flash of light in his eyes. He stared greedily at the magic crystals and the corpses until he met Wen Yu's gaze.
Those eyes were filled with mockery and teasing, even carrying a hint of a smile and anticipation, a mix of complex emotions that made Leogua slowly narrow his eyes.
An eleventh level strongman was a treasure trove in itself... and the fastest and most effective way for an eleventh level strongman to become stronger was to consume everything belonging to other eleventh level strongmen!
Leogua wanted to devour Wen Yu's loot to strengthen himself, while Wen Yu couldn't help but want to provide a sumptuous feast for the one-eyed creature...
For a moment, the two strongest individuals in the entire hall were locked in a standoff.
Until Bai looked at the corpse of Bull Head and exclaimed in shock, "I know this guy..."
"Oh?"
"Treasure land guardian no. 87, he was quite a figure in the Immortal Heroic World, I didn’t expect you to kill him. By the way, I remember he belonged to the faction of guardian no. 7..."
"You’re talking about Lindsay, right? That dwarf who’s only 1.2 meters tall? He’s dead too."
Wen Yu replied succinctly, summarizing his achievements. As soon as he finished speaking, Bai immediately gasped—perhaps others didn’t understand Lindsay’s value, but Bai knew it all too well.
At his peak, he was nearly on par with Lindsay, and the fact that Wen Yu could kill Lindsay rendered Bai speechless after a brief moment of thought.
Meanwhile, Leogua, faced with Wen Yu’s accomplishments, temporarily set aside his thoughts and fell silent—killing three treasure land guardians in one go, while Leogua didn’t fully understand the strength of Lindsay and others, it ultimately proved Wen Yu’s combat ability; such a person wouldn’t easily become enemies over minor differences in power.
The hall fell silent for a while before Bai finally spoke again.
"I need something to solve your problem."
"What is it?"
"A Fragment of the Heart of the Demon Realm."
Upon hearing this familiar term, Wen Yu frowned slightly, recalling what Tang Haofei had said during their first ranking battle.
At that time, Tang Haofei had vaguely hinted that the Fragment of the Heart of the Demon Realm was related to breaking free from the control of the sovereign, but the specific details were likely known to Wen Yu now more than to Old Tang.
Wen Yu had also conducted several experiments along the way, yet the black crystal on the head of the demonic entity, although similar in appearance to the Fragment of the Heart of the Demon Realm, would vanish once the demonic entity perished—this proved that the two were fundamentally different things.
In other words, Wen Yu currently did not possess the Fragment of the Heart of the Demon Realm.
Perhaps sensing Wen Yu’s doubt, Bai explained.
"The Fragment of the Heart of the Demon Realm is similar to the crystals on the foreheads of demonic entities. In fact, they are not too different in essence. The crystals on the foreheads of ordinary demonic entities are usually immature; they immediately collapse once the demonic entity dies. However, eleventh-tier demonic creatures are different."
