277 Death Of A Destiny (1/2)

277

”Grug!” Bluepeacock vomited a mouthful of blood once again. However, this time, it was worse as he almost coughed out his lungs. He even supported himself in all fours because if not, he would lie down face first due to weakness.

That attack was critical and it injured him gravely. Though the attack didn't reach his heart, a vital blood vein did. He didn't expect that he would experience such things as this right now.

”Shit…” Now, even breathing was getting hard for him as he tried to catch his breath and in order to stabilize himself. He couldn't help but curse under his breath as he saw this situation he was in.

”Say, you said something about Dreamland Emperor, right?” Owner Bu spoke with a ice-cold tone, ”You said something about him being in the afterlife, so what is that about?”

Dreamland Emperor was a genius Fate Emperor and a best friend that had been guided and protected Owner Bu when they were young. Many were wondering how could a mere immortal emperor survive there and successfully descended? There, Dreamland was the reason.

Dreamland was like a dao protector in a sense for Owner Bu. And Owner Bu had a very big amount of debt to Dreamland that he knew he wouldn't be capable of repaying even after many lifetimes.

Dreamland was also the one that Bluepeacock's talking about who 'stole' the World Treasure from their constellation.

”That's right… Cough! Cough!” Bluepeacock wanted to shout but he spat two mouthfuls of blood again, he wiped the left blood beside his lips and continued, ”Dreamland Emperor was sentenced to death! Do you think that after what he did, he would be forgiven? Nonsense!”

”I already expected it from the start.” Owner Bu answered with a solemn expression. Indeed, he was already expecting this. After all, it was a long time now since he saw Dreamland Emperor. In fact, Dreamland Emperor had already assumed this, that's why he used all of his reserved resources and helped Owner Bu to escape this incoming death and bore everything.

Owner Bu couldn't help but clench his fist. Though he knew that his friend was already dead, he still held on to the little possibility that Dreamland Emperor was still, perhaps, alive. Owner Bu wanted to believe that he was all wrong about this. But reality was cruel, as it slapped him right into his face.

Now, the only memento Owner Bu had was Dreamland Emperor's prized treasure, the World-Destroying Sword.

While Owner Bu was in a dazed state, Bluepeacock was accumulating enough qi to open a teleportation portal and escape. He wasn't willing to die here. He had yet to reach the apex of this world, the Ethereal. Thus, he was not planning on dying here. He was too young and talented for that. The accumulating process was slow because of his injuries but he could manage.

”Time to end this.” However, as if Owner Bu sensed this, he shot a glare filled with killing intent to Bluepeacock and said, ”You think you can escape? It's now time for you to die.”
