Chapter 904: A Drink Shared - 904
She stepped out and glanced at the Domain Immortals forming the resistance. She sneered and disappeared, reappearing near the first beast.
A single Karma Spiral tore through his torso, nearly killing him.
Just as another Karma Spiral appeared, a voice tore through the Sovereign Tree.
"RELEASE ME!"
The daughter of the Karma Sovereign jerked her head upwards and disappeared.
In a place known as the prison realm, the first human stood in front of a being wrapped up in countless chains.
The first human used all of his strength to cut off a single chain, but there were thousands wrapped around this giant being.
"Cut the chains around my right arm, and the rest will be handled." The giant being said. "These chains were made by the Death Sovereign, and there is no hope of you destroying them yourself."
The first human did not hesitate, shattering the chains around the giant's right arm one by one.
He knew he was on a time limit.
Just as the right arm was freed, the Karma Sovereign's daughter appeared.
The first human could only watch in horror as a Karma Spiral attacked him from behind.
Then, the giant's arm moved. "FLIPPING THE SKY!"
His voice thundered as his arm was held high and his palm turned over.
The world around them seemed to shift as everything turned upside down. A giant landmass, similar to the flat lands, descended with overwhelming power.
The daughter of the Karma Sovereign had no choice but to change her target, shooting a Karma Spiral at the land above.
The giant grabbed at the chains around his body and tore them like paper.
By the time the daughter of the Karma Sovereign reacted, half of the chains were gone.
She shot a Karma Spiral at the giant, but a single palm sent her and the Karma Spiral flying backwards.
The giant took the opportunity to rip the rest of the chains off and roar to the heavens.
"KILL!"
His roar destroyed chains all around the prison, freeing tens of overwhelmingly powerful beings. All of them had been chained up by the Death Sovereign himself, their lives being drained away to power him even further. And revenge would now ensue.
This had been the first human's plan. Releasing those within the prison realm would surely help their cause.
He hadn't expected the giant to be so overwhelmingly powerful.
The giant leaped in the air as a club appeared and slammed out. The daughter of the Karma Sovereign was sent flying away, injured. The ten Domain Immortals split up, five staying and the other five going to assist the daughter of the Karma Sovereign.
Around the Sovereign Tree, powerful beings not part of the Sovereign clans got up.
It would be one thing if there was a revolt on their watch. It was another if the daughter of the Karma Sovereign was killed.
They all stood up and disappeared, another ten Domain Immortals being added.
In total, 15 Domain Immortals and the daughter of the Karma Sovereign stood against the prisoners and the four remaining Domain Immortals that the old man had brought.
With the first beast seriously injured, the first monster did almost all of the fighting against the five Domain Immortals himself.
The situation seemed to be in a stalemate.
The first human slipped away from the battle and headed towards the first monster and the first beast.
He kept an eye in the Wang clan realm the whole time. When he reached them, he helped the first monster push back the group of Domain Immortals, killing two and causing the remaining three to retreat towards the battle of the prison realm.
The first monster and the first human looked at each other.
The first human spoke first. "We need to get our Universe and leave."
The first beast was confused. "Why? We are winning."
"The Wang clan ancestor had not made a move. If he had, this battle would have been over already. I've felt his power. And do you really think the Sovereign's haven't gotten word of this. If one comes, it is over. We need to run before that happens."
The first beast didn't hesitate after hearing the words of the first human. "Then let's go now."
Although the old man had hoped to free the Sovereign Tree, they had simply wanted to free their Universe. That had always been the goal. Plus, the old man wasn't even fighting. Most likely, he would agree with the first human that this was a hopeless endeavor.
"What about the mark of Karma?" The first beast said as they moved towards the flat land space.
"Leave that to me. It was merely done by the Karma Sovereign's daughter." The first monster said.
The other two nodded as they reached the flat land space.
They located their Universe, now nearly unrecognizable, and grabbed it.
They began to leave quickly.
They reached the edge of the Sovereign Tree and tore a hole big enough for their Universe to fit through.
Just as they were stepping through, two loud explosions sounded out.
The first beast and the first human paused.
Holes had appeared in their stomachs.
When they looked back, all they saw was the cold look of the first monster as his human form began to dissipate.
They could not speak.
"Do you remember the drink we shared under the starlight?" The first monster asked calmly. "A bond formed for a lifetime, though it seems I am the only one who thought that way. You betrayed me. Now, it is my turn to repay you."
The first monster's human form dissipated completely as his true form took its place.
This was the first time they had seen his true form in countless years, and it had changed greatly.
Countless tentacles with a mass of eyes running down them.
Poking out of the sea of tentacles and eyes was a fair human hand holding a slender sword.
With a jerk of the hand, the first beast and the first human were cut into countless pieces. A maw appeared as the first monster's mouth opened devouring them.
Around the Sovereign Tree, threads appeared.
Humans, beasts, an old man, some prisoners, revolutionaries, all connected to the first monster. With a light ring, like a guzheng being plucked, the life force of these beings were drained.
In moments, countless powerful beings had died.
The first monster took a single glance back, as a wolf appeared in the sky above all things in the Sovereign Tree, and left.
His movement was unparalleled as he left the Sovereign Tree in the distance.
