Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven

While Jun Wuxie cultivated, several figures appeared at the place where he had killed the two top prodigies of the Azure Water Sect.

It was none other than Bai Yishan, the Holy Son of the Azure Water Sect, and two other King-level prodigies from other sects.

Since entering the Abyss of Nether Darkness, the King-level prodigies from various forces had been acting separately.

Even those from the same sect were doing so.

Now, some of them encountered each other within the Abyss of Nether Darkness.

Xu Wangchuan and the King-level prodigy who, like him, had died at Jun Wuxie's hands were such examples.

Bai Yishan and the two King-level prodigies beside him were also in a similar situation.

At the time, they were not too far from this place.

Bai Yishan vaguely sensed the aura of his sect's immortal techniques.

When he and the two King-level prodigies he happened to meet arrived at this place, they did not see any of their fellow sect members.

"Fellow Daoist, there has been a fierce battle here."

The two King-level prodigies, one from the Scarlet Sun Immortal Sect and the other from the Blood Sun Immortal Cult, examined the traces on the ground.

Based on the aura emanating from the scattered bloodstains, they couldn't help but look at Bai Yishan, "Fellow Daoist, your fellow sect members, I'm afraid..."

Bai Yishan was silent, his expression grave, as he cast an immortal technique to cover this area.

Specks of azure immortal light lit up in the places where traces of battle remained on the ground.

Many streams of light and smoke gathered in the air.

He was using an immortal technique to trace back to what had happened here.

However, those streams of light and smoke ultimately failed to reflect the scene at the time and dissipated.

"Fellow Daoist, judging from the bloodstains here, forgive me for speaking frankly, but your sect's King-level prodigies are probably already dead."

"Although we are all unwilling to admit this fact and are quite shocked, based on the currently known information, the truth is likely so."

"Besides the aura of your Azure Water Sect's King-level prodigies, the aura left here seems somewhat similar to that of Yuan Chu."

The two King-level prodigies from the Scarlet Sun Immortal Sect and the Blood Sun Immortal Cult also had solemn expressions.

How could this be?

According to the situation here and the aura left behind, two King-level prodigies from the Azure Water Sect came here together.

But they were both suspected to have fallen.

If they encountered Yuan Chu, it would be too unbelievable.

Yuan Chu had the Guanyin Jade Bracelet, which could construct a domain of equality for all beings.

In this state, he was indeed very strong, there was no doubt about that.

However, things were different now than in the past.

These King-level prodigies all had the blessings of the Immortal Emperors, with Emperor's aura added to their bodies, amplified a hundredfold, up to two hundredfold.

A King-level prodigy was already among the top of their generation.

On this basis, to become two hundred times stronger, what was that concept?

One should know that in a battle between those of the same realm, being one times stronger was absolute suppression, let alone hundreds of times.

How could Yuan Chu achieve such a feat, killing the two King-level prodigies of the Azure Water Sect who had the Emperor's aura added to their bodies?

Thinking about this matter felt incredibly absurd.

However, all the clues left behind pointed to such an answer!

"Yuan Chu! My Azure Water Sect is not finished with you!

This debt, this Holy Son will definitely settle with you!"

Bai Yishan's chest heaved violently with anger, his eyes were incomparably gloomy, and he was filled with baleful aura.

"Brother Bai, if that person is really Yuan Chu, we must be cautious and not capsize in the gutter, losing our lives in vain!

Now, it is known that Yuan Chu has the strength to kill King-level prodigies with the Emperor's aura added to their bodies.

If the three of us face him, I'm afraid we can only fight to a draw at most, and there is almost no possibility of killing him, so we must consider it carefully!"

"You two, as things stand, perhaps we can only borrow external force again to suppress him when we encounter Yuan Chu!"

Upon hearing this, the King-level prodigies from the Scarlet Sun Immortal Sect and the Blood Sun Immortal Cult looked at Bai Yishan in surprise, "Brother Bai, how can we borrow external force again?

We have no external force to borrow except for the Emperor's aura blessing bestowed by the Supreme Immortal Emperor."

"You two, everyone is a sensible person, why hide it?

At that time, we all obtained the ancient artifacts left by the Great Emperor of Nether Darkness in the same place.

What this Holy Son means by borrowing external force, I believe you two are very clear about.

Now, the situation is pressing.

Within this Abyss of Nether Darkness, before encountering Yuan Chu, we may find it difficult to meet other King-level prodigies.

If we want to gather strength to deal with Yuan Chu, perhaps it will not be as we wish.

Furthermore, I believe that the Sect Masters of both of your sects should have told you to capture Yuan Chu alive, right?

I once asked the Sect Master why they had to capture Yuan Chu alive instead of killing him.

The Sect Master vaguely hinted at me.

Although he didn't say it too clearly, this Holy Son can hear the meaning in it.

Capturing Yuan Chu alive may be the meaning of the Supreme Immortal Emperor.

You two think about it, if we capture Yuan Chu alive and take him out, will we gain the attention of the Supreme Immortal Emperor, or even be bestowed with opportunities?

Opportunities are often left to those who are most prepared.

If we do not make a choice, when we encounter Yuan Chu, we can only temporarily endure.

When the King-level prodigies of various forces gather together, then the credit can only be divided equally, so how can we attract the attention of the Immortal Emperor alone?"

The King-level prodigies from the Scarlet Sun Immortal Sect and the Blood Sun Immortal Cult listened, and there was obvious struggle and entanglement on their solemn faces.

Indeed, as Bai Yishan said, this was a rare opportunity.

If such an opportunity was not seized, it might be a lifelong regret.

Those Supreme Immortal Emperors were existences who had attained Dao in the last ten thousand years.

Their Emperor's Dao will was integrated with the heaven and earth, and they were the Immortal Emperors who suppressed those who wanted to attain Dao in this era the most.

If they could gain their special attention and thus strive for the favor of the Immortal Emperor.

Perhaps, the Immortal Emperor's will would be biased towards them, which would be of great help to attaining Dao.

Simply put, this was an excellent opportunity to improve the success rate of attaining Dao and becoming an Emperor in the future!

If there were only benefits, they would not hesitate.

The key was that opportunity and danger coexisted.

Those ancient artifacts harbored terrifying wills.

At that time, when they went to the ancient artifacts, it took them a lot of effort to suppress and seal them.

They originally planned to slowly resolve it after leaving the Abyss of Nether Darkness, or to ask the strong men of the sect to help.

Now, Bai Yishan proposed to borrow the power of the ancient artifacts, which meant that they had to obtain the consent of the will lurking in the ancient artifacts, so they could only compromise with it.

This was a very dangerous thing.

Due to special reasons, the will in the ancient artifacts could only temporarily urge some power of the ancient artifacts.

Once they compromised with it and helped it control the ancient artifacts, would they suffer backlash at that time?

"Brother Bai, since you said that, after collecting that ancient artifact, did you also hear the voice of the will inside the ancient artifact?

Brother Bai, if we compromise with it, I'm afraid we will never be able to completely seal it.

At that time, if that will uses the power of the ancient artifact to backlash against us, how should we deal with it?"

"That's right, this method does have a certain danger.

However, it is worth it for us to take this risk.

How cruel the struggle for the Emperor's Road will be, I believe you two are clear.

This era is more special, the number of Emperor positions is more than in the past, but the number of competitors is also many times more than in the past eras.

Now, an excellent opportunity is in front of us, how can we not cherish it?

Although compromising with the will inside the ancient artifact may cause backlash.

But we can control the degree of compromise.

Besides, even if we wholeheartedly help it control the power of the ancient artifact, it is not something that can be done in a short time.

We can selectively let it control part of the power of the ancient artifact.

In this way, it needs us to continue to help, and will not choose to backlash against us.

Furthermore, we can also use its power to deal with Yuan Chu.

To take a step back, even if it backlashes against us, we will at most lose control of the ancient artifact.

At that time, abandoning the ancient artifact and saving our lives should not be a problem.

If it weren't for considering that Yuan Chu was too evil, and this Holy Son was worried about some variables, I would not have let you compete for such good fortune!"

"Okay, we'll do it!"

The King-level prodigies from the Scarlet Sun Immortal Sect and the Blood Sun Immortal Cult no longer hesitated and made their choice.

This opportunity was too tempting.

As Bai Yishan said, although there would be danger, it was worth taking the risk!

"Very good, from now on, the three of us will work together to deal with Yuan Chu and firmly grasp this excellent opportunity in our hands!

Let's go, we will follow the traces and try to track down the aura to see if we can track his departure route!"

Bai Yishan went ahead.

At the moment of turning around, the corner of his mouth raised a cold smile.

Work together?

He was of course just saying that.

At that time, he only needed to control the degree of helping the ancient artifact's will to control the power of the ancient artifact, keeping it at a level where he could compete with it, and let the King-level prodigies of the Scarlet Sun Immortal Sect and the Blood Sun Immortal Cult do the hard work, and he could reap the benefits.

The King-level prodigies from the Scarlet Sun Immortal Sect and the Blood Sun Immortal Cult followed closely behind Bai Yishan, looking at his back, and there was also a sneer in their eyes.

This Bai Yishan actually wanted to use them and use them as knives.

The opportunity was indeed not to be missed, but we still had to pay attention to the methods.

This Bai Yishan was not credible.

After all, the future was a competition on the Emperor's Road.

Would he cooperate so sincerely with himself?

Rather than cooperation, it was better to say mutual use, and at that time, it would depend on who could have the last laugh.

"Fellow Daoist, Bai Yishan wants to use us, if the two of us don't cooperate, with our own thoughts, we might not be able to deal with Yuan Chu in the end, and we will be busy for nothing, missing this opportunity.

Why don't we two, one of us take the lead, and the other escort, so it will be more stable, and Bai Yishan's thoughts will be in vain, what do you think?"

"Okay, but which of us two will take the lead?"

The prodigy king of the Blood Sun Immortal Cult couldn't help but glance meaningfully at the prodigy king of the Crimson Sun Immortal Sect.

“Well, anyone will do. If you, brother, want me to take the lead, I won’t refuse.

Since we're going to cooperate, we must show sincerity.

But one thing: we must make a soul oath that we won't harbor ulterior motives or betray each other during this event, and that we must cooperate sincerely.

If you agree, friend, how about I take the lead?”

“Good, that sounds fair.”

… …

The two reached a consensus, smiles appearing on their faces as they looked at Bai Yishan ahead.

Bai Yishan, ah, Bai Yishan, you want to use us, but you didn't expect us to join forces, did you?

At this moment, Bai Yishan felt the gazes of the two people behind him.

He couldn't help but sneer inwardly.

These two guys are probably secretly joining forces, wanting to trick him.

Two prodigy kings, trying to fight this Holy Son?

You're still a bit lacking. You'll find out who the ultimate beneficiary is!

The three people had eight hundred schemes in their hearts, all guessing each other's intentions, all thinking of ways to use each other.

For several days in a row, Bai Yishan and the prodigy kings of the Crimson Sun Immortal Sect and the Blood Sun Immortal Cult had been traveling deep into the Abyss of Nether Gloom, yet they still hadn't seen any trace of their target.

That day, they followed the aura to track him.

But after a certain distance, the aura disappeared.

They could only head deeper into the Abyss of Nether Gloom.

Presumably, that Yuan Chu would also go deep.

Although they couldn't track Yuan Chu's traces and aura, the general direction and route he took should be correct.

Therefore, they believed that they were very likely to meet him somewhere.

… …

At the same time.

Wan, carrying the Eight Nine Profound Palace, was already approaching the edge of the core area of the Abyss of Nether Gloom.

She didn't continue to go deeper, but stopped and chose to wait for her man to emerge from the Eight Nine Profound Palace after breaking through his realm.

These past few days, she had been carrying the Eight Nine Profound Palace mainly because she didn't want her man to waste time on the road.

Now, the core area was not far away.

She naturally wouldn't continue to go deeper.

Within this Abyss of Nether Gloom, whatever opportunities he might obtain, whatever fortuitous encounters he might have, she didn't want to directly participate, trying her best not to affect his karma.

This was the path he had chosen himself, and it was also the path he had to take.

Otherwise, with his supreme Dao fruit, why would he have had to work so hard all these years?

Perhaps for other living beings in the world, there was no need to pursue perfection so much.

But he was different. He had to pursue perfection as much as possible.

Only in that way could the future become stronger, could he fight against the ultimate transcendents behind the scenes, otherwise everything would be completely destroyed in the future.

… …

Wan sat under an ancient tree on a mountain, looking at the clouds in the sky.

A gentle breeze stirred her ink-like black hair, fluttering in the wind.

Her eyes were slightly dazed.

Thinking of these things, she couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache in her heart.

Since meeting in the lower realm that year, following him all the way, it had been more than a hundred years.

She had witnessed his growth process in this life, the hardships of which were hard to describe.

The man she deeply loved lived too tired a life, with too heavy a responsibility on his shoulders.

Sometimes, she would uncontrollably entwine with him madly, wanting to use her deep affection and tenderness to let him temporarily cast aside those troubles and responsibilities and enjoy life to the fullest.

His personal charm made her deeply infatuated, infatuated with his divine posture, his greatness, his spirit.

At the same time, she also felt heartache for his difficult life, heartache for the burden on his shoulders.

“Husband, Wan'er will be the most obedient woman by your side in this life…”

Her voice drifted in the wind, her eyes tender as water.

She wanted him to feel her gentleness and obedience, to inject more warmth into his difficult life.

She didn't want to add any burden to him, only wanted to do everything she could to warm him, to let him feel more beauty on this difficult road.

For this, she was willing to do so with relish.

To love him wholeheartedly was happiness, and it was also sweetness.
