The Sky Wielding Crystal was suspended quietly and defenselessly in the void. Anyone could grab it simply by reaching out.
It could be said that the Sky Wielding Crystal was basically at the fingertips of everyone present.
Everyone engaged in the fight stopped at once. Although there was an agreement between them, no one was willing to let such a great opportunity go when it was right in front of them.
Similarly, no one was willing to act rashly because it would jeopardize their chances of obtaining the Sky Wielding Crystal and make them the prime target.
It wouldn’t be good to become everyone’s prime target, as it was very likely that the person who acted first would become the first to be eliminated. Hence, all of them waited patiently.
They were waiting patiently for someone to act rashly. Waiting for someone else to move first.
Luo Yunyang eyed the Sky Wielding Crystal while he calculated the odds of him obtaining it. While he could increase his Speed to the extreme and make sure no one would be able to surpass him, escaping after he obtained the Sky Wielding Crystal wouldn’t be easy.
Perhaps everyone present was not as quick as him, but there were still many people that could execute techniques at lightning speed.
The range of a half-step Taiyi Yuan Venerate could also make it difficult for Luo Yunyang to take full advantage of his speed.
Unless someone could be there to shield Luo Yunyang from the attacks of the others.
While conducting these calculations, Luo Yunyang did not look at Yuan Venerate Flowing Sky. Instead, he glanced at Yuan Zi.
Given Luo Yunyang’s status and his relationship with the Human Race and Tianding Realm, the first person he thought of should be Yuan Venerate Flowing Sky. However, after musing for a moment, he chose to believe Yuan Zi.
Yuan Zi’s eyebrows were slightly furrowed, as he was also in a dilemma. He had many tricks up his sleeves, but it wouldn’t be easy for him to snatch the Sky Wielding Crystal either.
While struggling with his dilemma, Yuan Zi saw Luo Yunyang looking over.
He understood Luo Yunyang’s glance instantly and returned the glance, as if trying to ask, “How do we split this?”
There was only one Sky Wielding Crystal, so splitting it would be a big problem. Luo Yunyang was not a gentleman per se, but he would never break a promise.
“We can both think about it.” Luo Yunyang hesitated for a moment and then said, “Whether we decide through a battle or other means, we will decide together and agree before going ahead with it.”
Luo Yunyang’s words sounded like an empty statement, but after pondering it for a split moment, Yuan Zi said, “I agree.”
Although Luo Yunyang trusted Yuan Zi more than Yuan Venerate Flowing Sky and the rest, he had not expected Yuan Zi to agree to his proposal.
After all, it seemed like Yuan Zi was at a disadvantage from all angles.
He would have to remain behind to fend off the enemies for Luo Yunyang, and the Sky Wielding Crystal would end up in the hands of Luo Yunyang as well. It would be a wasted effort if Luo Yunyang fled after obtaining the Sky Wielding Crystal.
“Aren’t you afraid that I’ll take the Palm Sky Crystal and leave for good?” Luo Yunyang knew that it wasn’t a good decision on his part to ask this question but he still couldn’t help it.
Yuan Zi replied, “Of course, but I don’t have any better options.”
Yuan Zi said this without any hesitation!
Luo Yunyang did not communicate further with Yuan Zi. Instead, he turned back to look at the Sky Wielding Crystal again. At the same moment, a shadow that looked like a thin silk thread rushed directly toward the Sky Wielding Crystal.
The shadow-like silk thread was as fast as lightning and got within 100 meters of the Sky Wielding Crystal in a flash.
Someone also made a move the moment the silk thread appeared and sent his strong attack over at a spider, whose entire body looked like a purplish divine crystal.
The fact that the Purple Divine Tarantula had made a move at such a time naturally showed that it had a very clear understanding of the situation it was going to encounter.
Hence, its body quickly shrank in the face of the impending attacks and turned into a purple crystal stone that was merely the size of a speck of dust as it continued scuttling along the silk thread.
The Purple Divine Tarantula was very swift, and the strategy it adopted was also spot on, as many of the attacks failed to hit it.
However, even though shrinking its body was a good decision, it had encountered the Three-Headed Monkey, which was also the size of a speck of dust.
The Three-Headed Monkey spat out three different long rivers that severed the silk thread. At the same time, it also rained down a barrage of punches against the Purple Divine Tarantula.
The Purple Divine Tarantula only managed to gain a split-second advantage by shrinking, as it only shook the other half-step Taiyi Yuan Venerates for a moment.
Once this was over, the half-step Taiyi Yuan Venerates came out with countermeasures immediately. The Nine-Headed Snake immediately shot out 18 beams of light from its eyes and aimed at the Purple Divine Tarantula right away.

The beams of light converged to form a massive net that trapped the Purple Divine Tarantula within it.
The Purple Divine Tarantula knew that this couldn’t go on, so it grew back in size quickly as its six massive legs turned into a bunch of sacred lances to meet the beams of light sent forth by the Nine-Headed Snake.
In terms of cultivation level, the Purple Divine Tarantula was not the weakest compared to Luo Yunyang and the rest. However, it made a fatal mistake by striking first.
This fatal mistake caused it to become everyone’s target. Even if it did not die immediately because of its half-step Taiyi Yuan Venerate cultivation, it would still be pounded to a sorry state.
As a half-step Taiyi Yuan Venerate, the Purple Divine Tarantula also knew when to advance or retreat. Knowing that it had lost its only chance of obtaining the Sky Wielding Crystal, it immediately took flight and fled.
It would be safe as long as it was out of the range of the Sky Wielding Crystal.
The Purple Divine Tarantula thought that no one would chase after it if it left now.
However, another powerhouse attacked the moment it took flight in the air. This time, it was the Three-Headed Monkey.
The nomological law of the Three-Headed Monkey was also sharp enough to sever anything. It had always been at the forefront of the battle against the Purple Divine Tarantula, so it could be said that the Three-Headed Monkey had ruined the Purple Divine Tarantula’s plan.
The moment the Purple Divine Tarantula retreated, one of the many arms of the Three-Headed Monkey suddenly moved forward as fast as lightning to grab the Sky Wielding Crystal.
The move was extremely fast.
It was already too late when someone noticed the action of the Three-Headed Monkey. After all, any action or movement executed by a half-step Yuan Venerate was extremely fast.
However, while most of the people thought that the Sky Wielding Crystal was going to fall into the hands of the Three-Headed Monkey, an arm suddenly appeared and caught hold of the Sky Wielding Crystal.
It was Luo Yunyang’s arm. After seizing the Sky Wielding Crystal, Luo Yunyang zipped away as quick as lightning toward the front.
Given his cultivation, his speed was already many times faster than the speed of light. Thus, in an instant, he had escaped more than thousands of light-years away.
Fast, fast, fast!
Yuan Venerate Flowing Sky and the rest had been preparing themselves. They had never expected Luo Yunyang to make a move so suddenly. After feeling momentarily shocked and stunned, they took flight immediately.
Although Luo Yunyang was a part of the Human Race, the Sky Wielding Crystal was of even greater importance. They couldn’t sacrifice their opportunities just to fulfill Luo Yunyang’s.
They weren’t noble enough to give up that readily.
However, this momentary hesitation at such a critical juncture caused them to lag behind as they went after Luo Yunyang. The first to make a move was the Divine Roc, who hated Luo Yunyang very much. Its wings flapped in the void, sending countless black-and-white wing shadows that formed a blanket of sword-light that enveloped Luo Yunyang.
The Divine Roc had never attacked all this while but was ready to take Luo Yunyang’s life the moment it did.
However, although the Divine Roc’s actions were quick, someone was already prepared. Yuan Zi had already moved into position behind the path that Luo Yunyang was escaping through.
He said with a smile while facing the black-and-white wings, “Sir, your attack still has a long way to go.”
As soon as he said that, a massive golden tower condensed above his head and flew forward to meet the countless black-and-white wing shadows.
Dang! Dang! Dang!
The sound of metal colliding against metal reverberated through the void as all the wing shadows of the black-and-white wings were parried. However, while he managed to stop the attack of the Divine Roc, the Three-Headed Monkey, who had been overtaken by Luo Yunyang in the bid for the Sky Wielding Crystal, roared and shot out a series of light beams from its mouth.
Yuan Zi was unperturbed. The moment these light beams arrived, a black-and-white light had appeared under his feet.
Although the three-colored light beams were extremely incisive, there was no way they could puncture the lights beneath Yuan Zi or do anything to him as a result.
The Purple Divine Tarantula, which had already escaped, turned back silently. Its body had turned the size of a star in an instant while it shot out a massive amount of web that transformed into a huge net toward Yuan Zi.
Yuan Zi scoffed at the attack as a black banner appeared in his hand. He waved it in the air and sent surging chaos energy toward the spider web net descending on him.
Although the spider web net seemed omnipresent, it seemed like it couldn’t move at all while facing the retaliation of Yuan Zi.
Yuan Zi actually wasn’t at a disadvantage while fighting off everyone single-handedly.
At the same time, the attacks of Yuan Venerate Flowing Sky and the rest had also arrived. Yuan Zi waved his treasure banner again and blocked Yuan Venerate Flowing Sky’s attack before snapping angrily, “The Human Ruler has obtained the supreme treasure. Why are you still attacking him?”
His words, which were full of righteousness, shook everyone present. Although Yuan Venerate Flowing Sky was very determined, he couldn’t help but feel his determination waver upon hearing Yuan Zi’s voice.
However, some people had already started to shout out. “Quick, chase after the little thief who took the Sky Wielding Crystal!”
