Chapter 1513: Arriving At the Floating Twilight Land (1/2)
Half of the several hundred big world surfaces' overlords died in that battle!
Although the little cow did not specify a number, it did not hinder Huang Xiaolong from imagining how tragic that battle would have been.
“After that? Was that Archdevil master killed?” Huang Xiaolong asked.
The little cow shook her head and said, “Probably not dead.”
Probably? Huang Xiaolong stilled for a second.
“He took a full hit from the Ancient Heavenly Emperor’s Ancient Heavenly Court treasure. While his body had exploded, he did not really die. After his body gathered back, he escaped with a secret method.” The little cow explained. “But there are people who believed that his soul and flesh weren’t that far from complete destruction, even though he escaped, he couldn’t have lived much longer. Since then, the Archdevil master and his four odd beasts have not appeared again.”
“The Divine World and various world surfaces’ overlords were more willing to believe that he’s dead.”
As she said this, the little cow shook her head. “We both know it’s almost impossible for masters like the Ancient Heavenly Emperor to die.”
“So, you’re saying that Archdevil master is not dead yet?” Huang Xiaolong’s eyes brightened for some reason.
The little cow nodded her head. “Yes, that’s why I say he’s probably not dead yet. Moreover, the place where the four odd beasts were sealed, should be the place he hid after escaping. My guess is that he himself sealed the four odd beasts.”
“Why would he seal the four odd beasts?” Huang Xiaolong asked in bafflement.
“That year, the four odd beasts had also suffered unimaginable injuries, maybe, he wanted to let them heal by sealing them through some kind of chaos formation. Or maybe, he realized he was laden with sin from the slaughterings he had committed, thus sealed the four odd beasts so that they wouldn't wreck anymore destruction.” The little cow shook her head, and added, “Only he knows the real reason.”
“Do you think it’s possible that the Archdevil master also fell into a slumber because of severe injuries like the Nine-Colored Divine Phoenix?” A thought flashed across Huang Xiaolong’s mind and he asked aloud.
“Indeed, there is this possibility.” The little cow nodded in agreement, “Moreover, the darkness where the four odd beasts were sealed is probably where he is residing!”
Huang Xiaolong’s breathing quickened slightly.
But the little cow squinted her eyes and smiled sheepishly as she said, “Don’t think too much about that Archdevil master now, even if he really fell into a slumber due to severe injuries, he’s not something you can covet. This sentence will stand valid, even if you break through to high-level Heavenly Monarch Realm, you still won’t be able to awaken him, much less control him, unless…”
“Unless what?” Huang Xiaolong asked quickly.
“Unless you could reach the Emperor Realm. There might be a slim chance.” The little cow spoke each word with deliberate slowness.
Huang Xiaolong was stupefied. He then shook his head as if shaking his earlier idea out of his head.
Emperor Realm, that was too far away for the current him.
His cultivation was merely at late-Third Order God King Realm, how many years would he need to cultivate to reach Emperor Realm? He was still a long way from touching the border of Heavenly Monarch Realm, what’s more to the Emperor Realm.
His immediate goal was to find the second half of the Blood Eye Devil Stele and advance to Fourth Order God King Realm before the Fortune Emperor Palace’s selection competition.
Huang Xiaolong subsequently asked the little cow more about the Archdevil master and four odd beasts. But the little cow kept her mouth shut, tighter than a clam, replying ‘don’t know’ to most of Huang Xiaolong’s questions,, which greatly frustrated Huang Xiaolong.
Then again, maybe the little cow really did not know.
The Dragon Shark Flying Ship sped across the Divine World’s vast space at high speed, and Huang Xiaolong’s group was soon out of the Extraterritorial Devil Battlefield’s boundary. Looking back over his shoulder, Huang Xiaolong vowed to break through to Heavenly Monarch Realm as soon as possible.
“I wonder if the Fortune Emperor Palace’s Emperor’s Disciple would rush back from Hell for the selection competition?” Huang Xiaolong’s thought changed in another direction.
