NOVEL NEXT Chapter 20: The Fall of the Saint Emperor
The Deep Sea Saint Emperor, ancestor of the Deep Sea Star, is an extremely ancient Saint Emperor.
Most Saint Emperors have an unordinary disposition and don't bother with small matters.
Yet the Deep Sea Saint Emperor is an exception; even before he became a Saint Emperor, he would revenge every slight like a mad dog.
Of course, after becoming a Saint Emperor it got a bit better.
But he still likes to haggle over every detail, unlike a powerful Saint Emperor.
This time, Xing Yuan didn't keep their promise and backstabbed the entire alliance, making some of their efforts all for naught; it's hard for the Saint Emperors to say they aren't resentful.
However, when it comes to using Xing Yuan for revenge, they all hesitated.
After all, as Saint Emperors, doing such things doesn't look good.
But the Deep Sea Saint Emperor is different.
He stopped caring about these things long ago.
This time, when the Deep Sea Saint Emperor took action for revenge, it seemed normal to them.
And at this moment, the Deep Sea Saint Emperor felt a bit disdainful.
"A bunch obsessed with saving face, but Xing Yuan's vast foundation can be mine for a bargain!"
He certainly knows his reputation is not good, but what does it matter?
The Star Abyss Great World is second only to the Five Pinnacle Forces, a powerful world deeply rooted in history, even stronger than his Deep Sea Star.
It holds many treasures.
Since Xing Yuan went to Newborn Land with few possessions to save energy, it's likely most of Star Abyss Great World's treasures remain.
The treasures of a great world can't be ignored even by a Twelve Realm Saint Emperor.
If lucky, he might obtain treasures enhancing his power.
"Xing Yuan is known for its mystery, with plenty of treasures; I'll take the advantage!"
Does no one else know about Xing Yuan's deep roots?
Of course they do.
But upon reaching Twelfth Realm, beyond progress, reputation becomes crucial.
If possible, they don't want to lose face.
Thus, it benefits the Deep Sea Saint Emperor.
Perfectly, it also helps them vent their frustration.
The Deep Sea Saint Emperor knows he won't be stopped on this venture, hence he doesn't conceal anything.
Behind him, endless tides rise like cosmic surges, wave after wave, crushing even stars; the catastrophe is visible from the galaxy hosting Star Abyss Great World.
A vast expanse of the starry sky turns into an ocean.
Power accumulates continuously as the Deep Sea Saint Emperor aims to solve Star Abyss Great World in one go, taking all treasures to avoid unexpected moments later.
If someone hopes he'll destroy Star Abyss Great World and then steps out with righteous words, that wouldn't be good.
Meanwhile, inside Star Abyss Great World, panic ensues.
Every great world has its warning mechanism; coupled with the Deep Sea Saint Emperor's blatant intentions, Star Abyss Great World's alarms go wild.
"What's happening, the Heavenly Disaster Pearl keeps flashing; this catastrophe affects the whole world, how is it possible?"
Catastrophes occur in every world, but major worlds easily solve planetary catastrophes.
Star Abyss Great World's Heavenly Disaster Pearl hasn't warned in millions of years.
This alarm is clearly abnormal.
"Not only the Heavenly Disaster Pearl, but the Destruction Disk also forebodes a world-ending catastrophe."
The crisis alarms every strong individual in Star Abyss Great World.
This is already a threatening world-ending disaster.
"What to do, the Star Abyss Ancestor left centuries ago; we can't reach him at all."
Though Star Abyss Saint Emperor seldom spoke about leaving the old grounds, Star Abyss Great World's Eleventh Realm Saints know they can't contact their Ancestor for a while.
"Then contact other Saint Emperors, Hong Yun Saint Emperor, Lord of Light... anyone, we must hurry; a world-eradicating crisis, I suspect other Twelve Realm Saint Emperors are targeting us."
"Has anyone learned of our Star Abyss Ancestor's departure?"
The beings of Star Abyss Great World begin to act.
Contact Saint Emperors, flee...
In an instant, chaos erupts throughout the world.
Not long after, they also observe the deep sea tides in space.
Being a large force, they naturally recognize whose technique this is.
"It's 'Sea Devastation', the Deep Sea Saint Emperor's world-ending move, once used to destroy a massive galaxy; although it seems he's not using full force, it's still immensely powerful... it's coming for us; did we ever offend the Deep Sea Saint Emperor?"
"Did we contact the Saint Emperors mentioned by the Ancestor? This is beyond our capability to resist."
Star Abyss Great World is indeed vast, but facing galaxy-destroying power, they're like mayflies, easily obliterated.
They can only contact Twelve Realm Saint Emperors, hoping for preservation.
Yet when it rains, it pours.
"Can't connect, no contact with anyone; all the Saint Emperors refused communication."
"Lord of Light told us to fend for ourselves... even after offering allegiance, it isn't effective."
Lord of Light can enhance power through faith.
Faith is most crucial for him, yet now even faith doesn't work...
Despair grips the powerful in Star Abyss Great World.
"Run...escape as far as possible."
It's the only solution.
But nobody moves.
Not for lack of will; they know they can't flee.
A Twelve Realm Saint Emperor's deadly strike, how could Saints escape?
Especially with evident preparation by the Saint Emperor.
"Boom! Boom!"
The thunderous sounds of the tides echo throughout the world, striking the hearts of Star Abyss Great World beings, like a prelude to destruction.
