23 Confrontations Part 2 (1/2)

”Oh, you can't let me get away? Then how would you deal with this 'treasure'? Would it belong to you? Or you, or you, or maybe you over there? there's only one treasure. But hundreds of you. Who will the treasure belong to? Can you decide?”

Shura didn't bother concealing it anymore, and he had no intention of relinquishing this black cube either. He wanted to see what these people were going to do. Since the Sun Institute wanted to play him, he'll play them right back. He'd show them that by then it was far too late to regret.

”That's right, there's only one treasure, but many people here. So who's going to get it?” a voice among the crowd spoke out.

”Yeah, he's right!” another voice concurred.

Shura didn't really care about this treasure of a higher realm or whatever they called it. The Spirit Sovereign level was a reality to him, not a legend. He could do it if he just continued cultivating, and perhaps waiting a bit. The higher realm was a real thing that he knew about as well. And he was also certain that'd he'd ascend someday soon.

The value of this black cube that everyone else was clamoring for didn't have any value to him. But even so, he wasn't just going to hand it over to them and walk away. Whether it was a real treasure or a fake, since he found it, it was his.

”Enough talk. Whoever wants this treasure came come right up, if you don't value your life that is.” Shura declared.

”If you don't want it, friend, I am willing to take it off your hands.” A huge man with a spear flew toward him.

At this point, Shura didn't even bother to check the enemy's cultivation. Everyone here only had one direction to go in their cultivation, and that was up. They were all third layer Spirit Emperors. Any less and they wouldn't dare come, not to mention that it wasn't even certain that they could get anything here.

A sword appeared in Shura's hand. He injected wrathfire energy into it. The sword turned very hot. The sword's metallic body turned red.

An invisible spear intent shot through the sky. Shura couldn't see it at all, but his heart skipped a beat and he sensed something sharp approach. He immediately dodged to the side and parried it with his sword.

A loud clang resounded in the sky. The two Spirit Emperors separated from one another and looked at each other. There was only calm in Shura's eyes, but in the huge man was caution and fear.

There really was no need to continue to fight. Shura had already found what he wanted to find. Now he should leave. Once he left, nobody would be able to find him. Everyone who saw him fight before when he was killing emperors left and right had died, he was also wearing disguise today. His identity was safe.

No one would be able to connect this mysterious expert with the reclusive emperor of the Skyward Empire, one of the peak powers in the entire world. Who would even expect for one of the six emperors to enter the ruin ahead of everyone else and take the treasure? An emperor would send his subordinate to handle the task instead of coming to do the deed personally like this.

”Activate the formation!” the voice of the old man from the Sun Institute resounded.

Before the old man could even finish his second word, Shura had already made his move. He turned invisible and without tangible form, instantly escaping from the area.

It would be bothersome to be trapped in a formation. He didn't want to be forced to reveal his strength either.

By the time the old man finished his word and massive amount of energy converged into a trapping formation, Shura was already far away from the whole place.

The smile on Shura's face faded away when he sensed the presence in front of him. Trouble kept following after him

There were five figures standing in the sky in front of him. They had accurately predicted his escape and reached here before him. These dastardly interlopers were here waiting for him.

All five men wore embroidered robes that had the picture of dragons. The robes had fiery colors. Some wore yellow, others golden, and one even wore red.

Shura instantly knew who these men were. They were the five emperors of the other five super empires.

”Do you want to die?” Shura asked them.

He was not being arrogant or foolish to say this at all.
