Chapter 781: Mutual Deception
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
No one knew how many treasures were left behind in the internal universe of a sixth-level Heavenly Venerate. However, these numbers could be referenced.
In the history of the Annihilation Star Sky, several top disciples from a large sect had once jointly discovered an internal universe left behind by a deceased third-level Heavenly Venerate.
The Primal Chaotic Crystals inside had been amassed in mountainous piles. There had also been all sorts of top-grade battle armor, weapons, and even a legendary treasure.
Therefore, although most of the important and valuable treasures of the Heart Sword Heavenly Venerate would belong to Long Xin, the rest of the lower-grade items still intrigued disciples from various large sects.
Long Xin smiled at all the martialists that had joined him, even though he was secretly scoffing at them inwardly. Although there were some formidable figures in the Purple Cloud Great Cosmos, these younger martialists would at best follow him around like cheerleaders.
As Long Xin had these thoughts, a wave of arrows shot from afar and flew towards him and his group.
Each of these arrows contained massive energy, leaving no room for escape as they hurtled through the void.
Some of the martialists that followed Long Xin were caught off guard and got turned into ashes when they were struck by the arrows.
“Ambush!” someone yelled while the others quickly drew their weapons to guard themselves.
Long Xin, who was in the middle of the group, appeared indifferent. He merely glanced at his Heavenly Venerate bodyguard and indicated his intent.
Amid deadly silence, golden threads started rising as they passed through the void stealthily and cut down people one after the other.
Universe-Grade martialists would not die, even if their bodies were destroyed. As long as their Universe Flower remained intact, they wouldn’t perish.
However, the golden thread instantly annihilated the consciousness and Universe Flowers of the slain martialists.
“It’s the assassin from the Divine Incarcerate Tribe!” some people screamed in horror, “Get into formation to deal with him!”
In the midst of this chaotic situation, a golden silk thread cut through the void and shot towards Long Xin. Long Xin’s eyes flickered with a cold glint towards the Divine Incarcerate Tribe martialist that had actually dared to attack him.
His scarlet eyes burned even brighter and a mysterious scarlet flame ignited the golden thread.
“Ah!” A scream resonated throughout the void as an assassin from the Divine Incarcerate Tribe was incinerated.
When the third-level Heavenly Venerate standing guard beside Long Xin snapped his fingers, rays of light shot out in all directions.
When these rays of light shot out, the figures hiding in the void suddenly found themselves trapped in the small space they were in.
These figures were struggling wildly just like trapped animals with no chance of escaping.
“What’s the big deal about bullying juniors?” A frosty voice echoed throughout the void as a Divine Incarcerate Tribesman with six heads and thirteen arms who was wielding a sword that consisted of three colors appeared.
He brandished his arms and shattered boundaries created by the rays of light. In an instant, the assassin from the Divine Incarcerate Tribe managed to escape death.
” A third-level Heavenly Venerate!” Long Xin’s third-level Heavenly Venerate bodyguard said.
“You’re breaking the rules by coming here. I’ll give you a chance to leave and I’ll pretend nothing happened.” The third-level Heavenly Venerate from the Divine Incarcerate Tribe warned him.
Long Xin’s Heavenly Venerate bodyguard sneered before shooting at the Divine Incarcerate Tribe Heavenly Venerate. When the two third-level Heavenly Venerates clashed, the entire Annihilation Star Sky felt like it was going to rupture.
Luo Yunyang was hiding 100,000 miles away like the best hunter, waiting patiently for a chance to strike at his prey.
The hatred between the Human Tribe and the Divine Incarcerate Tribe was extraordinary. In the Purple Cloud Great Cosmos, they had also been involved in the everlasting massacre against the three other large tribes.
They would never give up on a figure like Long Xin.
Things were proceeding as Luo Yunyang had predicted. However, he wasn’t prepared to make any moves at the moment, as he knew that this matter wasn’t simple.
The battle between the two third-level Heavenly Venerates was earthshaking. However, both of them seemed to have reservations while fighting against each other.
Just as the battle reached its climax, the third-level Heavenly Venerate of the Divine Incarcerate Tribe was nearly struck by the palm of Long Xin’s bodyguard. However, he brandished his battle halberd and cleaved at his opponent.
Long Xin’s bodyguard brandished his blade and conjured a shield that seemed like a mass of surging primordial chaos in front of him.
However, at the same time, a giant hammer appeared behind him and smashed heavily against his head.
It wasn’t easy for a third-level Heavenly Venerate to die, but it was still very possible when they were facing a humongous threat.
Just as Long Xin’s bodyguard was in danger, yet another figure appeared swiftly. This person was also a third-level Heavenly Venerate. However, when the flag in his hands was waved, it trapped both the halberd-wielding Heavenly Venerate and the hammer-wielding Heavenly Venerate between the two vortexes.
“It’s a fifth-level Heavenly Venerate weapon!” a Divine Incarcerate martialist with golden scales exclaimed.
“Of course it’s a fifth-level Heavenly Venerate weapon! Why else would I be so careless?” Long Xin chuckled. “It’s a rather bountiful catch this time. I managed to hook two third-level Heavenly Venerates. Thanks!”
Long Xin then added arrogantly, “However, there’s no reward for any of you!”
The elites from the Divine Incarcerate Tribe and the Purple Cloud Great Cosmos finally understood that they were merely chess pieces to Long Xin. The Divine Incarcerate Tribe martialists were boiling with rage, yet the martialists from the Purple Cloud Great Cosmos only cursed silently without making a comment.
While the killing continued, a crack appeared in the void. The space behind this spatial crack looked terrifyingly deadly.
Long Xin grinned when he saw this crack. “I did not lie at all. The Heart Sword Heavenly Venerate’s internal universe is here.”
As soon as he said that, Long Xin rushed towards the broken internal universe. Upon seeing Long Xin dash towards the internal universe, the elites from the Divine Incarcerate Tribe and the Purple Cloud Great Cosmos followed him.
In their opinion, while it was important to kill their opponents, it was even more important to gain some benefits.
Only the four third-level Heavenly Venerates remained. Neither of the third-level Heavenly Venerate of the Divine Incarcerate Tribe entered, as they were trapped in the bubble unleashed by the small flag and simply couldn’t break free.
Long Xin’s two bodyguards felt completely relieved. They had to kill two third-level Heavenly Venerates for Long Xin, as this would make Long Xin’s battle records look more brilliant.
In their opinion, the Divine Incarcerate Tribe and Purple Cloud Great Cosmos martialists did not pose any threat to Long Xin. There would be no problems as long as their master’s wishes were fulfilled.
Therefore, they did not pay any attention to Luo Yunyang, who had dashed rapidly into the broken internal universe.
After entering the broken universe, Luo Yunyang immediately sensed a lot of dangers. The most common occurrence were all sorts of cracks, tears and ruptures, which were formed by the collapse of the universe and could even swallow a Universe-Grade elite.
Some cracks even contained strange time and space forces. If a Universe-Grade elite accidentally entered these cracks, they would age instantly from a young outstanding genius to an old and frail elder.
Of course, all kinds of treasures were also constantly appearing.
For example, a lucky disciple from a small sect obtained a gourd that enlarged in the void. This gourd actually featured the two Universe Origin Marks, so it was very valuable.
Some people even obtained corpses of top-grade divine beasts.
Luo Yunyang didn’t make any moves, no matter what kind of treasures appeared. He was like a ghost quietly haunting Long Xin, who was spearheading his way forward.
Long Xin didn’t do anything, yet no one dared to follow him after his first move.
He seemed very familiar with this broken universe and thus did not encounter any obstacles along the way.
After a quarter of an hour, Long Xin appeared on a plateau high up.
Swords of varying colors stood proudly on a distant plateau. When Long Xin arrived, the swords started to ring.
As soon as Luo Yunyang saw the huge plateau, he immediately sensed an almost infinite amount of spirit essence. His One-Yuan Universe needed to devour everything to improve. Luo Yunyang had a feeling that his One-Yuan Universe would improve at least a hundred times if it engulfed all this spirit essence.
“Ha ha! Concealed Sword Sky Plateau! How great!” Long Xin’s body rose up gradually until it overlooked the vast amount of swords. Both his hands moved suddenly, forming a seal.
When the seal was completed, a golden halo appeared in Long Xin’s hands.
He seemed to relax greatly as his gaze landed on Luo Yunyang’s position.
“Come out! I never imagined that I would be followed by you. It’s a pity, though. Despite following me, you have reached a dead end,” Long Xin said calmly.
While Luo Yunyang had followed Long Xin, he had utilized his attribute regulator to make adjustments to his Speed and Mind Attributes.
“How did you notice me?” Luo Yunyang asked as he walked out in the form of Mo Yunxiao’s clone.
“It doesn’t matter. What’s important is that you are going to die!” Long Xin brandished his palms towards Luo Yunyang. “This time, I’ll show you the power of the Heartless Divine Sword.”
