Chapter 753: Leave With Your Mother
Translator: Lam_Editor: Hitesh_
The dust between the world had settled by now. However, the lands which were filled with life were now desolate and shrouded with an aura of death.
A lone figure stood upright between the Heaven and Earth.
Feng Qingzi's face was gleeful. He couldn't have misheard that voice! It was the voice of his dear disciple!
However, when he took a closer look at the figure standing there, Feng Qingzi's face changed entirely once more.
”Haha! Cruel, to think that you could have killed that human.” When Saint caught sight of that figure, he smirked.
”Feng Qingzi, that disciple of yours is dead now. All of your hopes are dashed by now!” Saint laughed out wildly. Even though in his heart, Cruel was nothing more than a piece of trash, it shouldn't be an issue for him to kill an ant like human given his strength.
It was just that…
”Cruel, why did you stop my attack?” Saint demanded in a harsh tone.
Even though Cruel had just done a great service for the Ancient race, he was still but a mere ant in the eyes of Saint.
”Within that smelt, I've already devoured that human whole and stolen everything that he had. However, the heart of that human was extremely resolute. To think that he could still maintain a bit of control despite all of that. But right now, there are no more issues left. Everything of his is now just a part of me.” Cruel replied coldly.
Cruel looked over at the Heaven and Earth Smelt. Stretching out his palm, that Heaven and Earth Smelt swiveled violently over before landing in front of him.
”But, I did gain a fair bit of benefits from devouring that human. This thing here is the Heaven and Earth Smelt. While it doesn't belong to any grade, it's definitely way more valuable than even a Supreme Graded Utmost Treasure. It can smelt anything within this universe. Your Utmost here was nearly killed because of this thing.”
The demeanor of Cruel right now was really natural, just as he would usually be.
”It surpasses a Supreme Graded Utmost Treasure?” Saint did not have any interest towards that human at all. However, when he heard Cruel mentioning how precious that Heaven and Earth Smelt was, he let out a look of fascination.
”That's right. Even when I was within the smelt, I could have been smelted into my core remnants with just a single thought. No matter how strong one is, they can't defend against the power of refinement at all.” Cruel chuckled out.
”Hand that treasure over to me.” The moment Saint heard this, his heart was filled with a strong desire. To think that the human would possess such a treasure. It was no wonder that he couldn't even break open the smelt given his own powers. Seemed like it truly was a rare treasure.
Cruel let out a strain of displeasure.
”Why? You're unwilling?” Saint's expression changed as though he would snatch it over forcefully the moment Cruel shook his head.
”Come over here and get it then.” Instantly, the Heaven and Earth Smelt started revolving as it shrunk smaller before landing onto Cruel's palms.
”Get your mark off it and toss it over.” Saint replied.
”Come over and get it yourself.” Cruel continued.
All of a sudden, the tension in the atmosphere got really intense.
Feng Qingzi was still in a daze, unable to recover from the shock of his own disciple being slain.
”H-how could this be…?” Feng Qingzi could not dare to imagine that his disciple had died just like that.
The faces of Namo Saint Emperor and the Female Empress were equally stunned. They knew that the thing that saved them was the final burst of intent from Lin Fan's consciousness. But, it had disappeared entirely by now.
The Female Empress shook her head and sighed. If she were to tell this to Xuan Er, that brat might be pretty saddened.
In the blink of an eye, four years had passed. She had thought that the lad would grow up to be an unparalleled supreme overlord. But, to think that he would die midway unfortunately like this.
There were countless geniuses amongst the thousands of races. But even then, so what? Only those who could reach the endgame were the true winners.
Ever since the ancient times, there had been countless geniuses who had died in the path of their cultivation. No matter how fabulous their potential and gifts were, it was all useless as they perished amidst the sands of time.
”Cruel, you would dare to defy my orders?” Saint seethed harshly. He felt that something was off. But, he just couldn't figure out what it was.
”I wouldn't dare to.” Cruel replied.
”Then, toss that treasure over.” Cruel barked out.
”Come over and take it yourself.” No matter how Saint phrased it, Cruel replied with the same words. He then looked over at Fault, ”Do you need it?”
Fault was startled and took a while to snap back to reality. His heart was then filled with some greed. However, the moment this greed started rising, a burst of fury shot forth from Saint.
”That's mine.” Saint was enraged right now, truly enraged. He had not expected Cruel to dare defy his intention.
Cruel stretched out his palm where the Heaven and Earth Smelt sat quietly on it. The meaning was clear, 'If you want it, you have to come take it yourself.'
For a moment, Saint did not know how to react. He glared at Cruel sternly, trying to make out anything different about him. But, no matter how he sized him up, Cruel was still Cruel. He was still that same piece of trash that Saint had viewed him as.
”I don't wish to give you this treasure. But, if I don't, you're going to kill me and look for a new Utmost Being replacement.” Cruel remarked.
”That's right. You've grown smarter.” Saint smirked coldly.
”Then, come over and get it for yourself.” Cruel replied.
…
”Now that the lad is dead, is it time for us to leave this place?” The Female Empress whispered.
Namo Saint Emperor did not reply for a moment or two. He too was feeling that it was about time for them to leave. Everything had failed; the lad had died. This was a great loss for the Human race.
Even though Feng Qingzi was anguished, the aged face of his was giving off a frosty expression right now. He knew that given the current situation, it was impossible for them to kill these Utmost Beings.
