NOVEL NEXT Chapter 470: Betrayal and Cosmic Confrontation
Lu Sheng bid farewell to the Lord of Ascension and returned to the Martial Immortal Villa by using the Star System Teleportation Array.
...
Daoran Star System.
In a secret void.
The Immortal, formed by spiritual power, gazed at the enormous corpse of the Chaos Dragon Emperor before him, with a hint of greed in his eyes.
"Whether I can take another step forward... depends on you!"
As the Immortal spoke, strands of spiritual power began to penetrate the body of the Chaos Dragon Emperor. As the spiritual power flowed in, wisps of life force started to emerge from the Chaos Dragon Emperor's corpse.
However, it was evident that these faint traces of life force were still insufficient to sustain the body of the Chaos Dragon Emperor.
This... requires a lengthy process.
The Immortal was in no hurry, after all, for a galactic lifeform, the lifespan was already exceedingly long.
Even if it took thousands of years or tens of thousands of years, it could wait.
But...
Just as the Immortal was refining the body of the Chaos Dragon Emperor, suddenly, two extremely terrifying killing forces abruptly descended around the Immortal.
"Who is it!!"
The Immortal shouted in anger, his immense spiritual power suddenly bursting forth.
In an instant, in this secret cosmic void, an extremely terrifying battle erupted.
Rumbling!!!
The tumultuous roar echoed in the cosmic void. The surrounding void collapsed inch by inch, as if it was about to turn into a black hole.
The battle lasted for a full fifteen minutes.
Soon after, a disheveled Immortal hastily struggled out from the battlefield. He turned his head and looked in the direction of the previous battlefield, his eyes burning with endless fury.
"Emperor Bai! Lord of Ascension!!"
The Immortal roared, his voice filled with lingering rage.
In the battlefield, the figures of Emperor Bai and the Lord of Ascension slowly emerged, emanating an extremely terrifying aura that caused the surrounding void to stir chaotically.
"Damn it, how did Emperor Bai and the Lord of Ascension join forces!!"
The Immortal was extremely furious and even puzzled.
He couldn't understand how Emperor Bai managed to persuade the Lord of Ascension.
After all, in the Immortal's view, the Lord of Ascension, upon awakening from slumber, influenced by the Doomsday Star, was almost impossible to communicate with.
Furthermore, the Lord of Ascension's ascension plan was inherently contradictory to Emperor Bai's ideas.
The two... should have been like water and fire.
Who would have thought that the two of them would secretly join forces and set him up like this.
As a result, the Immortal was filled with rage.
"Immortal... it's time to settle the previous matters, isn't it?"
Emperor Bai looked at the Immortal and spoke indifferently, but his tone was much more assertive than before.
"Because of you, the Human Federation suffered heavy losses, and in the Star River Star System, numerous high-level martial artists died, with a total of over four hundred life planets being annihilated by the cosmic alien races."
"With a death toll reaching trillions, you... should give me an explanation!"
Emperor Bai's eyes gleamed coldly as he stared at the Immortal.
"Hmph!"
The Immortal snorted coldly. He wanted to say something, but seeing the killing intent in Emperor Bai's and the Lord of Ascension's eyes, he restrained himself.
Although he had reached the pinnacle in the spiritual domain, he had still sustained some injuries under the combined assault of these two galactic lifeforms, Emperor Bai and the Lord of Ascension.
For the Immortal at this moment, the most critical task was to refine the body of the Chaos Dragon Emperor.
If he were targeted by these two now, this task would be indefinitely delayed.
Helplessly, the Immortal eventually relented: "Regarding the losses Star River University suffered in this battle, my Daoran Sect will certainly make amends. Within a month, I'll deliver the compensation to Star River University!"
The Immortal felt a twinge of pain, clearly indicating that the compensation was not a trivial amount for the Daoran Sect.
But if he didn't agree, it was evident these two wouldn't let him off easily today.
Hearing this, Emperor Bai's expression slightly eased, though he exchanged a glance with the Lord of Ascension, both showing signs of reluctance in their eyes.
In the end, the figures of Emperor Bai and the Lord of Ascension vanished from this cosmic void.
The Immortal watched their departing figures, his eyes dark and foreboding. With a final cold snort, he dragged the body of the Chaos Dragon Emperor and likewise disappeared from this cosmic void.
...
On the front lines of the Star River Star System, in the midst of an endless darkness.
The figure of Emperor Bai slowly descended, his brows furrowed with deep concern: "Although we and the Lord of Ascension managed to injure the Immortal, there won't be any good excuse for the next time we want to go after him."
"As detestable as he is, he is still a galactic lifeform of the Human Federation, and we can't push him too far."
"But after this incident, once the Immortal goes back and fully refines the Chaos Dragon Emperor, his power will surely reach terrifying heights. By then... it will be difficult for the Lord of Ascension and me to suppress him!"
As Emperor Bai spoke, he couldn't help but rub his temples.
The Human Federation was now facing severe internal strife.
First, the ascension plan of the Lord of Ascension had given Emperor Bai severe headaches, and now there was the Immortal as a ticking time bomb, further adding to his dismay.
"Compensation... no amount of compensation can compare to the lives of those trillions of Human Federation beings!"
Emperor Bai couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
This matter could only be settled with the Immortal's compensation.
"Galactic lifeforms... still come with a lot of troublesome issues."
"Strength is still not enough!"
Emperor Bai shook his head, falling into deep dismay.
