Chapter 409: Dark Speck Of Ligh (1/2)

The content of the Blood Soul Contract was for the three of them to keep silent about the existence of the injured Soul Emperor and not tell another soul about it, even going to the lengths of banning Eighth Stage Experts from entering the Tripartite Alliance Territory.

As for the Soul Emperor, he promised them riches equaling that of a lone Emperor Grade Territory and a way to break into the King Soul Stage!

Clouded by greed, selfishness, and an urge to improve themselves to an even higher level, they were tempted and softened to sign the Blood Soul Contract.

Besides, they didn't know who this Soul Emperor was neither did they know about the other Soul Emperors in detail. They didn't even know about the events happening in the Middle and Large Territories, much less the Soul Emperors who were elusive and secretive to the extreme.

Soul Emperors were highly sought out by normal cultivators because of the numerous techniques the former knew. They were not only revered but also feared!

The three of them could not offend an unknown Soul Emperor for no reason, so they were even more tempted to sign the Blood Soul Contract.

After a day of contemplation, they gave in to their greed and signed the Blood Soul Contract.

But now...

Tirea Snow gritted her small teeth as she moved back a little, keeping a certain distance from the other two as her eyes flashed with a cautious light.

Since the power gap had been widened, between them and the Soul Emperor, it was unknown if the other two would suddenly backstab her and offer her up to the Soul Emperor.

It didn't take much but her actions certainly did create a crevice in their shallow unity, created by the situation they faced at hand.

She hurriedly sent them a Soul Transmission, ”You two, now that the Soul Emperor is at High-Level Emperor Soul Stage, the Blood Soul Contract is rendered useless!”

Dina Alstreim and Xanbas similarly sent a reply.

”We have no choice but to battle again to injure him as we did so a thousand years ago!”

”Although the chances of us winning are extremely low, it wouldn't be easy for him to take us three down any time soon, especially when he is still injured!

The Blood Soul Contract they signed was at High-Level Emperor Grade which could affect Ninth Stage Experts but only to the level of Low and Mid. Although it had a chance of affecting High-Level Ninth Stage Expert, it was only a probability, not an assurance.

As for High-Level and Peak-Level, only a Peak-Level Emperor Grade Blood Soul Contract could affect, and that too for the latter, it only had a chance depending upon its effectiveness.

Tirea Snow frowned and her brows were narrowed. Her beautiful yet distressed appearance caused the Soul Emperor to let out a laugh.

”Beauty Snow, it's fine to talk through Soul Transmission in front of others but in front, a higher stage Soul Cultivator, especially an Emperor Soul Cultivator, don't you realize that it's meaningless?”

”Blood Soul Contract rendered useless? Battle again to injure him? If we work together, he can't beat us? Hahaha,” The Soul Emperor mockingly laughed as he pointed at the three of them.

The three of them were solemn and didn't lose themselves in rage due to his provocation. Instead, their hearts were filled with a sense of trepidation and desperation.

Even though Xanbas said it like that, he perfectly understood the gap dividing the levels of the Ninth Stage were enormous, even many times wider than the gap separating the First Stage to the Peak of the Eighth Stage.

Normally, a Low-Level Ninth Stage Cultivator would find it extremely difficult and even impossible to face a Mid-Level Ninth Stage Cultivator.

Thousand years ago, the only reason they were able to fight the Soul Emperor to a deadlock was due to the fact that he was injured and they combined their powers, otherwise, it was unknown if their three territories would've been unanimously occupied by this rogue Soul Emperor.

”You're taking this too far. As an esteemed Soul Emperor, you're not following your words of promise.”

”Even if the Blood Soul Contract is not in effect, as a Soul Emperor, your esteemed self should still follow your own words, otherwise, your reputation would fall to the gutter.”
