Chapter 339: Just Dead? What Else!_1
Translator: 549690339
The aura of Yao Zu plummeted from its peak until it vanished completely, and at the same time, the Sea of Origin of the Third Universe started to tremble violently.
“Swish!”
“Swish, swish!”
Six figures appeared abruptly before the Sea of Origin, their expressions grim as they observed the turbulent Sea of Origin ahead.
“Why is the Sea of Origin shaking like this?”
“This is the most violent tremor it has had in countless years.”
“Moreover, I feel a sense of sorrow coming from it.”
A middle-aged face wore a trace of confusion.
“Could something have happened to them?”
Another voice spoke up, belonging to an old man with grey hair.
His words caused the expressions of the other five to change dramatically.
Soon after, the figure of the old man disappeared, and the others followed suit.
Within a mysterious space, there were two solid walls. On one wall, many divine soul auras were emanating, while the other wall was exceptionally silent.
At this moment, those six figures appeared within this mysterious space. Upon seeing the silent wall, an extremely unpleasant look spread across their faces.
“It seems that Yao Zu and the others have failed.”
“Everyone, I think it’s time we consider our own escape route.”
The old man with grey hair stated.
“Elder He, what are you thinking?”
The middle-aged man looked towards the grey-haired old man, similarly, the other four did the same.
“I think we can strike a deal with the First Universe.”
“Offer the original source of the Third Universe to the First Universe, in exchange for our future there.”
“What do you all think?”
“This is the best option we have now given the circumstances.”
“After all, among the remaining five universes, the First Universe is the strongest. Rumour has it that they have already produced no less than ten cultivators who have found new paths, each of them overwhelming the Half-step Eternal Realm, any of them much stronger than Yao Zu.”
“Rather than sitting ducks waiting to be swallowed by the Twelfth Universe, we should take a shot at it. We might also have a chance to take that step.”
As the grey-haired old man continued, the lustre in the eyes of the other five grew brighter.
“Elder He, if we surrender our universe, can we truly secure our future?”
A middle-aged woman questioned, her heart fraught with concern. In truth, the others felt the same, they just didn’t have any other escape route.
“I can’t say for sure, but it should be better than our current situation.”
A subtle glint flickered in the eyes of the old man, unnoticed by the others.
“If so, I agree with Elder He’s method!”
The middle-aged man took the lead.
“I also agree.”
The woman followed suit, gritting her teeth as she spoke. Seeing her agreement, the remaining three had no other option but to follow suit and agreed with the old man’s proposal.
Meanwhile, under Ye Feng’s gaze, Yao Zu’s body was filled with countless cracks that were slowly patched up, before subsequently exploding with a boom.
After Jin Ling used the Chaos Clock to resonate the Chaos Space again and failed to find any remainders of Yao Zu’s cause and effect, Ye Feng directly retracted JinLing back into the Second World. Then, with a flash, he returned to the Sea of Origin of the Twelfth Universe.
Suddenly, Ye Feng’s figure appeared before the six individuals, their startled expressions meeting his arrival.
“Ye Feng, you managed to drive that guy away?”
Shen Wujiu, who usually spoke the least, suddenly asked.
“No, I didn’t drive him away.”
Ye Feng shook his head.
“Not driven away?”
The group became confused. Even Pan Qing bore an expression of puzzlement.
“I should say, I didn’t let him get away. I killed him.”
“Hiss!”
Faced with Ye Feng’s declaration, the five people sucked in a breath of cold air. Even Beast God, who had known Ye Feng for the longest time, was stunned by his prowess.
Only Pan Qing managed to recover the fastest, even though his eyes were wide open in shock.
“I plan to visit the Third Universe. Since others have started, there’s no reason for me not to.”
“Moreover, even if we don’t take part, when the other five universes come to attack, all we can do is take the beating and die in fear. That’s not my style.”
Ye Feng’s words made everyone nod in agreement.
“So, I need to know how to refine the Sea of Origin of the Third Universe, to allow the Twelfth Universe to complete the devouring.”
Hearing Ye Feng’s words, everyone directed their gaze towards Pan Qing. At that moment, Pan Qing’s gaze met with Ye Feng’s.
While Ye Feng was asking Pan Qing about how to devour the universe’s original source, the First Universe, which was countless times bigger than the Third Universe and the Twelfth Universe, was taking part in a unique transaction.
The grey-haired man, looking towards the top of the stairway to heaven at the youth holding a wine glass superiorly above all, his expression was extremely respectful.
“Honoured Pedro, I He Yu am willing to offer the Third Universe to you. All I ask in exchange is for you to take me in.”
The moment the grey-haired man finished talking, he knelt down on both knees, bowing sincerely.
“Oh?”
“You are willing to offer the Third Universe to me?”
“Are you the number one person in the Third Universe? What’s his name again… ah, right. Are you Yao Zu?”
“Err… No!”
“Then on what basis do you say you will offer the Third Universe to me? Are you trying to fool me? Do you know the consequences of cheating me?”
The celestial voice descended from above, causing a huge shock to the grey-haired man, forcing him to spit out a mouthful of blood, his face full of terror.
Is this the new path that has been opened up?
Too powerful – he was injured just by hearing the voice. What was even more terrifying was that the voice was filled with an overwhelming power.
It felt eternal.
“I dare not deceive you.”
“Yao Zu is dead. He was killed by someone from the Twelfth Universe.”
“We are unwilling to let the Third Universe be swallowed by the Twelfth Universe.”
“Given the relationship between our Third Universe and the Twelfth Universe, they won’t let us survive.”
“Therefore, I want to live!”
In front of the youth, He Yu did not dare to hold anything back and laid all his cards on the table.
“Good.”
“In light of your honesty, you can follow me from now on.”
“Remember, it’s only you. If there were more, I would have to keep only one of you alive to follow me.”
The youth swirled the liquid in his wine glass and downed it in one go.
“Thank you, sir!”
“You can return now. Regarding the Third Universe, it’s not time yet. I will take action to deal with the person from the Twelfth Universe.”
A glimmer of light flashed in the youth’s eyes. Neither of the two universes that hadn’t completed the devouring was a concern for him. The powerhouses in these kinds of universes were easier to deal with than those in the other four universes who had already completed the devouring.
Although his strength was not the strongest among those who opened up new paths in the First Universe, he was ambitious. He did not want to be under anybody, and thus He Yu’s offer fit perfectly into his needs.
“Yes, sir!”
Finally, He Yu heaved a sigh of relief in his heart and turned away to leave the First Universe.
