Chapter 2499: Chapter 2499: Instead of Thanks, How About Something Real?
"Think about it, in today’s Immortal Realm, which immortals have the ability to quietly infiltrate your Golden Crow Sect and steal your Heaven Devouring Art?"
Fang Bai began to coax the Golden Crow Immortal Emperor.
Following Fang Bai’s prompt, the Qilin Immortal Emperor and the Bixie Immortal Beast stopped their attack and retreated to the mountain peak where Fang Bai and Baimei Fairy were located.
The Golden Crow Immortal Emperor regained some rationality. Knowing that with the Qilin Immortal Emperor and Bixie Immortal Beast present, he could not threaten Fang Bai, he did not rush to attack, and loudly said, "Every Immortal Emperor in the Immortal Realm has this skill! What exactly does a little immortal like you know? Spill it out!"
Fang Bai asked again, "Think about it, the entrance to your underground palace is protected by an exquisite formation, which Immortal Emperors have the skill to break it?"
"This..."
The Golden Crow Immortal Emperor frowned in deep thought.
Although the Immortal Emperors of the Immortal Realm have some understanding of the Array Path, the Golden Crow Immortal Emperor, aside from the War Emperor of old, was one of the few array masters in the Immortal Realm, so only a few Immortal Emperors could break a formation set up by him personally.
"The seven top Immortal Emperors... Only they have the ability to break my formation... Could it be that one of them really stole my Heaven Devouring Art?"
The Golden Crow Immortal Emperor mumbled to himself, the more he thought about it, the more he believed it was possible. Furthermore, when his Golden Crow Palace was destroyed, the seven top forces were involved, which inflamed his anger and hatred even more.
Fang Bai chuckled, "Why just one? Maybe they did it together?"
The Golden Crow Immortal Emperor was taken aback, clearly skeptical.
He felt that there were also conflicts among the seven top Immortal Emperors, and it was unlikely they would join forces against him.
Fang Bai said, "Think again, if you cultivated the Heaven Devouring Art and successfully ascended to the Great Emperor, how would you treat the seven top Immortal Emperors?"
The Golden Crow Immortal Emperor waved his hand dominantly and said, "Needless to say? If I become a Great Emperor, the first thing I’ll do is eliminate them and seize everything they possess!"
Fang Bai said, "Exactly. If I were the seven top Immortal Emperors, I wouldn’t allow this to happen! So, upon learning that you possess the Heaven Devouring Art, the seven top Immortal Emperors would certainly be restless, trying every possible way to prevent you from ascending to the Great Emperor Realm! And collaborating to steal your Heaven Devouring Art is the best way!"
The Golden Crow Immortal Emperor thought over Fang Bai’s words carefully and found them reasonable.
If it were him, knowing that other Immortal Emperors had obtained an Immortal Law with the potential to reach the Great Emperor Realm, he would undoubtedly be anxious and then go to great lengths to stop and sabotage them.
No wonder the seven top forces joined the battle to destroy the Golden Crow Palace; they must have feared retaliation after stealing the Heaven Devouring Art, so they joined forces with other immortals to annihilate the Golden Crow Palace, leaving him powerless to oppose them. freёwebnovel.com
"Dragon Taming Emperor, Myriad Sword Immortal Emperor, Ice River Immortal Emperor... all of you Immortal Emperors deserve to die!"
After hearing Fang Bai’s analysis, the Golden Crow Immortal Emperor was convinced that only the seven top Immortal Emperors had both the capability and the motive to steal his Heaven Devouring Art.
Thinking of the vengeance against the seven top forces for the destruction of Golden Crow Palace and the theft of the Heaven Devouring Art, his heart was filled with wrath and hatred, and he let out a shrill howl towards the sky.
This howl transformed into an invisible sonic wave, containing traces of emperor’s might, spreading across a radius of two thousand miles. Some spectators, caught off guard, became dizzy under the impact of the sonic wave, their faces pale, their bodies swaying.
Amidst the howl, the Golden Crow Immortal Emperor tore open the void with his hands and disappeared into the Endless Space, destination unknown.
"The old Golden Crow has finally left..."
The Qilin Immortal Emperor watched the direction in which the Golden Crow Immortal Emperor disappeared and breathed a long sigh of relief.
The battle just past put him under tremendous pressure; if not for the Bixie Immortal Beast’s assistance, he might have already been defeated.
A thousand years ago, he had a battle with the Golden Crow Immortal Emperor, which ended evenly matched. Unexpectedly, after not seeing him for a millennium, his strength had indeed improved a lot, but the Golden Crow Immortal Emperor’s progress was even more significant.
He looked around coldly, released his emperor’s might, forcing the watching immortals to retreat, then transformed back into human form and stepped lightly to where Fang Bai and Linghu Baimi were on the mountain peak.
"Who would’ve thought, after a thousand years, we can meet again... If Baimei Fairy hadn’t mentioned you, I wouldn’t have known you’re still alive! You have really strong luck!"
The Qilin Immortal Emperor scrutinized Fang Bai a few times, suddenly bursting into hearty laughter, the laughter filled with emotion and relief.
Fang Bai said in bewilderment, "Qilin, I concealed my aura and altered my appearance, yet you still recognized me?"
The Qilin Immortal Emperor laughed heartily, "Of course! Baimei said she became an immortal partner with you in the lower realms, and I saw her being very intimate with you just now, which made me suspect. Besides, with your half-step Immortal Emperor cultivation level, you can command a quasi-emperor like Bixie Immortal Beast, which only you in the Immortal Realm can achieve! If I can’t guess your identity at this point, I don’t deserve to be considered your close friend!"
The Bixie Immortal Beast also transformed into human form, landing on the mountain peak. Towards the fellow Immortal Beast, Qilin Immortal Emperor, he held feelings of curiosity and some reverence.
"Bixie Immortal Friend, thank you for your assistance just now."
Although his strength greatly surpassed the Bixie Immortal Beast, the Qilin Immortal Emperor showed no arrogance and expressed his thanks amiably with a cupped fist gesture.
As an Immortal Emperor, the Qilin Immortal Emperor naturally knew far more about the past affairs of the Immortal Realm than other immortals. He was aware that the Bixie clan, like his own Qilin clan, possessed the bloodline traditions of a Divine Beast, belonging to a rare race of Immortal Beasts among the beast clans.
It was only a matter of time before the Bixie Immortal Beast would certify his position as an Immortal Emperor.
Therefore, the Qilin Immortal Emperor treated him as an equal from the start.
The Bixie Immortal Beast was flattered by such courtesy from a prominent Immortal Beast. Imitating the gesture, he replied, "Actually... I didn’t plan to help initially. But Fang Bai promised that if I lent a hand, he would help me certify as an Immortal Emperor sooner... Haha... I’m just being honest, don’t be angry."
The Qilin Immortal Emperor was momentarily stunned but then shook his head, bursting into laughter, "You’re quite straightforward! But nevertheless, without your help, I might have been the one tearing the void to escape. So, I still need to thank you!"
The Bixie Immortal Beast extended his hand, "Instead of thanks, how about something practical... You’re an Immortal Emperor, give me some Imperial Grade cultivation resources?"
Does he really have the nerve to ask for cultivation resources?
This guy has no shame!
Fang Bai turned his head away with an expression of distaste, pretending not to know the guy.
The Qilin Immortal Emperor, however, appreciated the directness of his peer and casually handed him a Space Immortal Ring, saying, "Consider this a thank-you gift, don’t find it too little!" ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
The Bixie Immortal Beast beamed with joy, ran off to the side to inspect the Space Immortal Ring.
"Alas, poor choice of friends!"
Seeing the Qilin Immortal Beast looking at him, Fang Bai shook his head and sighed.
