The elder was still being stubborn, so the cultivator who had just exchanged for a storage ring began to curse at him, "Old fool, stop embarrassing yourself here! That storage ring is way too old, it's no longer something that can be unlocked. A little mana fluctuation will make it blow up! I actually believed your nonsense and chose this cursed thing!"

The reason he chose that storage ring was undoubtedly because he overheard the elder's persuasion to Lu Ye. As a result, he lost everything. Thirteen thousand Asura Seals may not be much, but it's not something to be wasted casually.

The elder snorted coldly, "I didn't make you choose it; you wanted to snatch it yourself. Who can you blame?"

The two of them immediately started arguing.

Lu Ye didn't bother with them, stepped aside, and casually exchanged for a storage ring from a pillar, picking it up with a look of astonishment.

Because he found that this storage ring actually didn't have a restriction lock...

Without a restriction lock, it means there's no need to unlock it, and the contents of the ring can be taken out freely.

Upon closer inspection, the ring contained quite a lot of things. Just the pile of spirit jade and spirit crystal was huge, roughly estimated to be around ten to twenty million.

There were also several well-kept magic treasures.

Without taking them out for a closer look, since this wasn't the place for detailed inspection, Lu Ye roughly estimated that the contents of this storage ring were worth about thirty million spirit jade.

Exchanging one for thirteen thousand Asura Seals to get thirty million spirit jade was undoubtedly a massive profit!

Could the Dice of Fate really be effective?

But he quickly discovered something; as he exchanged for this storage ring, the strong sense of confidence he had just now vanished without a trace, which undoubtedly indicated that the mystical luck provided by the Dice of Fate had been exhausted as he exchanged for that storage ring.

With some thought, he moved swiftly out of the area, found a secluded corner, and took out the Dice of Fate once more, tossing it in front of him.

Despite the previous test, which almost confirmed the Dice of Fate's effect, he decided more attempts were needed for a definitive answer.

Watching intently, the dice rolled a few times. As before, a character quickly formed amidst the ghostly glow on the upward face.

Lu Ye's eyes twitched.

Because there it was—the character for "Misfortune"!

He had just gotten a "Fortune," and now it suddenly turned to misfortune; the reversal of luck seemed somewhat excessive.

The misfortune character transformed into light and shot towards him. Lu Ye was prepared and dodged, but it was unavoidable. The light curved with a sentient precision and struck him on the forehead.

Lu Ye, as if struck by lightning, stood there, his expression shifting unpredictably.

For in that moment, he suddenly felt a profound unease, as if something terrible was about to happen.

Just then, a figure rushed towards him from a distance, radiating a fierce and surging mana wave, clearly a Late Stage Moon Jade cultivator.

However, at this moment, the cultivator's expression was panic-stricken, for reasons unknown.

Upon seeing Lu Ye standing there, the person charged straight at him, reaching out to grab him.

Lu Ye frowned, completely unprepared for this unfortunate encounter, because within this Sky Asura World, conflict was prohibited no matter where cultivators found themselves, which was why this grand gathering of Constellation, Moon Jade, and Sun Blaze cultivators from all over the stellar space was possible.

These were the rules of the Asura Field, and any cultivator with sense would not violate them.

Lu Ye initially thought this person might be out of their mind to dare attack him here, but quickly dismissed the idea, seeing the panic and terror on their face without any sign of madness.

He raised his hand and gripped the Boulder Mountain Saber's handle!

However, before he could draw his saber, a mystic light descended from the sky, enveloping the cultivator within.

The rushing cultivator's figure suddenly stiffened, as if struck by an immobilization curse, the panic on their face almost becoming corporeal.

In a terrifying scene, enveloped in mystic light, the entire cultivator melted away like a heated candle, along with their clothing and storage ring.

In merely three breaths, an active Late Stage Moon Jade disappeared bizarrely in front of Lu Ye, leaving not a trace behind.

Lu Ye remained in a stance gripping his saber, looking down to see a piece of his robe missing—undoubtedly grazed by the mystic light.

He blinked, quickly bent down to pick up the Dice of Fate from the ground, and with a thought, returned to his cave residence!

Indeed, it was very ominous! No further verification was needed. It wasn't a suitable time to wander outside; staying in his cave dwelling seemed safer.

However, he also realized something—that cultivator had unquestionably violated some rule and was mercilessly erased by the Asura Field, perhaps due to not adhering to an Asura Pact with someone or for some other reason.

Yet their ill fate brought them to his presence, inexplicably attacking him—likely unwilling and seeking to drag someone down with them before dying.

But none of this concerned him, and moreover, he didn't make a move just now, merely posed a defensive stance, which doesn't count as violating the Asura Field's rules, so that kind of obliteration naturally wouldn't befall him.

Sitting cross-legged, Lu Ye immersed his mind to investigate.

The Talent Tree was burning fiercely, a large cloud of gray mist arose, something intangible was being incinerated!

Lu Ye speculated that it should be the Mysterious Power bestowed by the Dice of Fate on him.

The first time the Talent Tree didn't react was because the first bestowal was beneficial to him, hence the Talent Tree showed no signs.

However, the second bestowal was malefic, so the Talent Tree responded.

The chains formed by the Asura Pact last time were incinerated by the Talent Tree, but it took several days. Lu Ye estimated this time it wouldn't be quickly accomplished either.

Compared to before, the Asura Pact is a hint of the supreme treasure's power, whereas his Dice of Fate is merely the affiliated treasure of the supreme treasure, undoubtedly inferior in many aspects, so the time required shouldn't be longer than last time.

Lu Ye secretly decided that before the Talent Tree incinerates the power of the Dice of Fate, he definitely wouldn't leave his little hideout.

Time flew by, three days later, Walnut sent a message, informing Lu Ye he has finished his training and returned to the Sky Asura World, and he can start the challenge anytime.

Lu Ye told her to wait because the power of the Dice of Fate hasn't been thoroughly burnt out. If he participates in the combat field's contention in such a state, who knows what bad things might happen.

During this period, Yuk Yaorao came to find him again, but was refused at the door by Lu Ye, leaving Yuk Yaorao rather unhappy, pouting and mumbling outside for a long time before leaving.

Several days later, Lu Ye confirmed that his body was already fine, that bad feeling had vanished without a trace, and only then did he send a message to Walnut.

Regarding the Dice of Fate... it should still be used less in the future. Although it's the affiliated treasure of a supreme treasure, there are too many uncontrollable factors.

What makes Lu Ye speechless the most is that this thing can't even be stored in the storage ring, not even the Small Flower World can fit it. Helplessly, Lu Ye could only find a rope, wrap it tightly, and hang it on his waist as a pendant.

Today is exactly the third day before the combat field rankings are settled. Those cultivators who aspire to secure a ranking have returned early to the Sky Asura World, because if they don't come back now, if challenged, they would automatically lose.

Cultivators ranked lower don't care as much, the ranking upgrade is minor, and the rewards during settlement won't change much, but those ranked higher will certainly return.

Lu Ye checked his ranking and was shocked to find he actually climbed to fifth place!

Before this, the names of the two ranked above him had vanished without a trace.

This undoubtedly means either they died or left the Asura Field.

Lu Ye couldn't help but recall the time he encountered someone obliterated by the Asura Field in the treasure vault... that person was precisely at the Moon Jade Late Stage cultivation.

Could it be that one of them was that person?

No matter if they were, it doesn't concern him anyway; Lu Ye directly issued a challenge to the fourth place.

To his surprise, not long after issuing the challenge, his ranking jumped up a position, seemingly indicating that the opponent hadn't returned from their training scenario yet.

These occurrences are common, they were probably delayed by training, but as long as the opponent returns before the settlement deadline, there's still a chance to reclaim their ranking.

Helplessly, he could only challenge the third-ranked person.

Meanwhile, in a cave residence within the Sky Asura World, a member of the Stone Race lay on a bed, another Stone Race member beside him was urging power to heal the wounds, judging by the fluctuation of the person's mana, they were indeed a Sun Blaze.

The Stone Race isn't adept in medical skills, constrained by their physical constitution, but the wounds on this Stone Race member on the bed are extremely peculiar, not something simple medical skills can resolve; it requires strong power to suppress and remove.

The Sun Blaze Stone Race member has been staying here for ten days now, nearly resolving the issue.

Just then, the Stone Race member lying on the bed spoke up, "Elder, someone challenged me."

The Sun Blaze Stone Race member heard this and restrained his mana, nodding, "Then go ahead, but don't exert too much force; the peculiar power lingering on your wound, though mostly resolved, could worsen if you continue to exert force."

The Stone Race member on the bed rose, nodding with a rumbling voice, "I understand, Elder, don't worry, it won't take long, I'll be back soon." He wanted to see which dim-witted fool dared to challenge him, something he hadn't encountered in a long time.

If it were under normal circumstances, he'd definitely be interested, but now being interrupted at a crucial healing moment undoubtedly left him a bit agitated, secretly resolving to teach the challenger a lesson.

He stands with the title of the eternal third in the Moon Jade level combat field!

The vast combat field, tens of thousands in the Moon Jade level, being able to consistently occupy the third place is proof enough of his formidable strength.
