1169 Blackmail, Threat, & Respect

Wang Ju and Hong Meiling focused all their powers, but that claw that resembled a crab was persistent, trying everything in its power to prevent being sealed.

"Roar!"

A terrifying scream rushed from the other side of the portal, and the two immediately started hearing murmurs. An irritating voice kept repeating the sentence: "Nothing is real, everything is false, and the only truth is the Dreamer in the Deep."

This simple sentence seemed to contain an undeniable truth, so as soon as they heard it, these two powerful cultivators immediately started to question everything they knew to be real. Was their world real? Was the sky truly blue? Do stars really exist? What about the people close to them? Were the relationships they cherished real? More importantly, was their strength real or another great illusion of life?

"Wake up," roared a voice deep in Wang Ju's mind, and she instantly recognized it since she spent all her life dedicated to that voice. She experienced the change from a child to an adult and to the powerhouse that stood at the top of the world. Wang Ju used Wang Wei's Pain Innate Talent on herself, using the pain to distract herself from the murmur.

She then helped Hong Meiling with the same method. "Is the pain bearable?"

"I'm fine," she replied with a groan. The pain was indeed terrible, but it was an excellent way to ignore the terrifying murmurs.

"Then, let's continue." The claw had used this opportunity to push further from its prison. Wang Ju further pushed her body to the limit, resulting in all her black hair turning white. As an immortal, she does not lack a life span, but this change indicates that the essence of her body and soul are running out, and she will not survive for long.

Sadly, her action did not have the effect she wanted. The two made little to no progress with the plan to teleport this gate to Samsara and only managed to delay the creature's freedom.

"Damn it, what is this thing?" Wang Ju cursed. However, determination flashed in her eyes as she realized she made the correct choice. That creature had weakened to an extent, but its power was still fierce. Her master will definitely pay a steep price to deal with it, so she must prevent that from happening.

'But what should I do?'

[Seal of Darkness]

Yu Yan suddenly appeared with an orb in her palm that seemed to embody darkness. The orb became a seal before adding to the gate, pushing the creature's claw back a few inches. Her eyes turned red briefly before reverting to their original state.

Yu Yan expected this change and protected herself with a brilliant technique called [Seed of Darkness]. She created a seed inside her body capable of absorbing all negative emotions, buffs, or status. In other words, the creature's spiritual attack only made the seed bloom faster, which she can use as a potent attack.

Yu Yan frowned. Her seed was growing at an alarming rate, unlike anything she had ever seen. Furthermore, her attack did not do as much as she hoped for.

Wang Ju glanced at her and immediately noticed her 10-fold or 69.999% strength. 'I was right,' she thought. People might think the Sect Madam's current strength might result from a talisman left by her son beforehand to protect her, but her eyes saw the truth. She saw Yu Yan's current robe was the Golden God's armor transformed to hide from others.

'Focus,' she reminded herself. They were still in a precarious situation. 'Forget about teleporting it; we will be lucky if we manage to buy enough time.' Countless thoughts flashed in her mind, trying to find a solution.

'What would my lord do in this situation?' Wang Ju asked herself.

Boom!

"I owe him karma? Those are bold words," Chen Tong chuckled.

"You do."

"Why don't I know about it?"

"Because of your secret observation of the lower dimension, you've learned countless great secrets from masters - valuable secrets that even people in your level would kill for."

Cheng Tong frowned, "So?" Although she was correct, it did not mean she owed Wang Wei any karma. It was his ability to get that information without being detected.

"You're a great being that is detached from karma," Wang Ju continued. Great Emperors already had high immunity to karma, let alone Paragons. "However, my master is a master of karma. And once he reaches your level, if he wishes to use this fact to make you owe him karma, you'll be able to do nothing about it."

"Are you threatening me?"

"Yes, I am."

"Do you understand I can annihilate you and your master with a single thought, and there is nothing you can do about it?"

Wang Ju's body trembled as she sensed a deep fear even greater than facing that weird creature.

"Then, I wonder what makes you so daring?"

"Because I know you won't dare do it," Wang Ju replied calmly. Chen Tong squinted his eyes. She was correct as he did dare kill Wang Wei because of all the things connected to this man.

"I might not dare kill him, but it's not the same for you."

"My master loves me very much," Wang Ju calmly rebutted.

"Enough to make a Paragon his enemy?"

"Enough to face Grand Dao himself," she replied without hesitation.

"Hehehe, interesting," Chen Tong chuckled. "I must admit that I envy him for having such a loyal and capable follower. Fine, I'll help you." He knew what a nightmare it could be to owe a Dao Overlord with Karma Dao any debt, so he accepted this blackmail.

"But remember this: only this time," Chen Tong said with a fierce killing intent in his eyes. His killing intent would have instantly annihilated the lower dimension if they were not inside a spiritual realm.

"If you dare try to blackmail me again, I'll risk everything to eradicate you and your master from this universe."

"I understand, and I do apologize for my actions. I had no other choice," Wang Ju said while bowing ninety degrees.
