Chapter 1249 - Backstab (1/2)

Translator: Chaos_  Editor: Chaos_

Xue Ying did not dare believe him. Currently, the desire Supreme Shi Fa had for the ‘Thousand-Eyed Water Droplet’ made him completely willing to team up and attack them. Hence, for the sake of his life, Great Emperor North River would definitely make a compromise. Nonetheless, when they were about to leave this Shi Fa Island, Great Emperor North River would most likely backstab him for the sake of theThousand-Eyed Water Droplet.

“Great Emperor North River, what Supreme Shi Fa said is right.” Xue Ying transmitted, “I haven’t reached the final realm. I am merely curious about the Snake Tooth Corridor, and do not have a strong desire to enter.”

When Great Emperor North River heard that, his heart moved.

“But this Thousand-Eyed Water Droplet is slightly unique. I wish to take some time off comprehending it.” Xue Ying continued, “How about this, let me do some research on the Thousand-Eyed Water Droplet for a trillion years. After a trillion years, it’ll be yours. How about that? If you are willing that I would take this Thousand-Eyed Water Droplet and run away, how about this, I can leave this avatar that holds the droplet with you. It’ll stay by your side and even in your Eden Treasure. Both of us can even swear an oath over it! I believe you should know how important an oath is to us cultivators!”

“Good good good.” Great Emperor North River joyfully answered, “I do not know how I should repay Brother Flying Snow over such a great favor. I owe Brother Flying Snow greatly this time. Once the matter is over, Brother Flying Snow can tell me how you want me to repay you.”

“How about we swear an oath now?” Xue Ying asked.

“Definitely. I’ll swear an oath with Brother Flying Snow.” Great Emperor North River hurried.

Both of them quietly agreed upon the conditions and also swore an oath.

Xue Ying did not have any better ideas.

Trust in ‘Supreme Shi Fa’? He did not dare believe a Supreme from the Death Destruction Clan!

Then he could only place his trust in Great Emperor North River!

If he did not give the other party sufficient benefits, Xue Ying felt that given the personality of ‘Great Emperor North River’, he would immediately become hostile with Xue Ying once they were out of this island.

But he had no choice…

He was weak! He could only resort to this!

“Monarch Flying Snow, you should make your decision properly. Are you planning to trust me or him?” Supreme Shi Fa asked.

“Supreme, I apologize.” Xue Ying answered.

“Good. I hope that you do not regret.” The expression of Supreme Shi Fa became cold. He knew that the reputation of the three Supremes from the Death Destruction Clan was not stellar. Hence, it was normal for the other party to place his trust in Great Emperor North River.

Supreme Shi Fa turned to Great Emperor North River: “North River, you are really lucky. Do you want me to send you off?”

“There’s no need.” Great Emperor North River answered, “I do not need much time even if we fly out slowly!”

“Sou!”

Great Emperor North River waved his hand and kept Xue Ying. He then began flying out of the island, transforming into a stream of light that shot across the sky-floating island.

…

Within the Eden Treasure.

Xue Ying’s group of avatars were here.

‘The Thousand-Eyed Water Droplet.’ Xue Ying held onto the Thousand-Eyed Water Droplet, carefully perceiving it. He was completely engrossed in it. This droplet was a marvel!

The ‘Illusory Realm’ inherent within the Thousand-Eyed Water Droplet was incredibly mysterious. Every single illusory realm structure that he memorized previously from the gold and gray eyes he saw had been fused into it. This droplet seemed to encompass everything without fail.

‘The essence of a world is to be all-encompassing.’

‘Everything could be encompassed within.’

‘The Illusory Realm in this Thousand-Eyed Water Droplet is not perfect enough. After all, that Chaotic Origin Lifeform this droplet came from has died, causing the mysteriousness of the Thousand-Eyed Water Droplet to deteriorate.’ Xue Ying thought. But if the lifeform was still alive, how would he have the chance to thoroughly comprehend it?

Just as Xue Ying was in the process of comprehending the droplet.

Suddenly, a figure appeared by his side. It was the incarnation of Great Emperor North River.

“Great Emperor.” Xue Ying turned to Great Emperor North River, “Why? Are we out of the sky-floating island already?”

“Very soon.” Great Emperor North River nodded with a smile, “This time, I would have to thank Brother Flying Snow for your help. Because of Brother Flying Snow, I was able to collect quite a few Black Leaf Flower dewdrops. Furthermore, Brother Flying Snow even promised to give the Thousand-Eyed Water Droplet to me after a trillion years. This favor is something that I do not know how to repay! Even though I could collect and gift one or two pieces of supreme-graded secret treasures to you, their value is still too far off as compared to this Thousand-Eyed Water Droplet. Hence, I am unable to repay this great favor of yours, and can only etch it in my heart.”

‘Etch in his heart?’ Xue Ying was stunned. Did he not say he was planning to gift supreme-graded secret treasures to Xue Ying as repayment for the favor? Xue Ying immediately felt things were amiss.
