Chapter 602: Chapter 345: The Devouring Realm Empress’s Reason!
Lu Sheng took a deep breath, held the Entropy Nightmare Blood in his palm, said a few words to those seventh-level instructors and Liu Yao, and then returned to the Celestial Brilliance Star.
Sitting cross-legged in the Celestial Brilliance Star, Lu Sheng looked at the Entropy Nightmare Blood.
"The giant python swallowed so much Entropy Nightmare Blood from the Giant Beast King, only then gathered this concentration of Entropy Nightmare Blood. Hopefully... it can help my cultivation progress to the next level!"
Lu Sheng whispered softly and then slowly closed his eyes, preparing to refine the Entropy Nightmare Blood within his body.
In reality, this attack from the Immortal had been quite a blow to Lu Sheng.
The sense of helplessness felt just like when Lu Sheng was a baby, facing the destruction of the entire Life Planet, powerless and only able to escape on a lifeboat.
Lu Sheng constantly pushed himself to cultivate, all to prevent what happened back then from happening to him again.
But in the end, it happened once more.
"Become stronger! Keep becoming stronger!!"
In Lu Sheng’s heart, a seed of desire to become stronger quietly sprouted.
...
Ahead of the Star River Star System.
Emperor Bai was momentarily stunned when he sensed the dispersal of the Immortal’s spiritual power.
"Huh? The Devouring Realm Empress??"
To be honest, Emperor Bai never expected that Lu Sheng would have methods left by the Devouring Realm Empress.
Recalling their conversations, when the Devouring Realm Empress mentioned Lu Sheng, her emotions were so complex that even Emperor Bai felt a strange sensation in his heart.
"With this happening... the Immortal probably holds a grudge against the Devouring Realm Empress!"
"However, since the Void Insect Race has the presence of the Nest Consciousness, they don’t fear the Immortal!"
"This brat... seems to have had a blessing in disguise!"
Emperor Bai thought for a moment, then couldn’t help but laugh. He looked at the Great Monarch of Corroded Blood and the Blood Corpse Ancestor God and said lightly, "You two... still wish to continue?"
This question made the Great Monarch of Corroded Blood and the Blood Corpse Ancestor God hesitate.
Their war was partly due to the giant python and partly because the Immortal had recruited them, leading to their involvement.
But now, the Immortal’s spiritual avatar had been slain, and even the Devouring Realm Empress, a newly risen Galactic Life Form, was implicated.
They were momentarily unsure if Emperor Bai and the Devouring Realm Empress had any collaboration.
Amid such doubt, the two finally looked gravely at Emperor Bai, whose mouth held a smile, and their figures vanished from the frontline of the Star River Star System.
Reaching the level of a Galactic Life Form, often they would not easily place themselves in dangerous situations.
Except for certain madmen.
Watching as the Great Monarch of Corroded Blood and the Blood Corpse Ancestor God disappeared into the Star River, Emperor Bai couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"It’s finally over..."
"But the Immortal... has been overly arrogant, brazenly appearing directly in my Star River Star System!"
As Emperor Bai spoke, a flash of anger flickered in his eyes, which ultimately transformed into helplessness.
"Unfortunately, this guy... now with the physical power of the Chaos Dragon Emperor, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to contend with him."
"Such tumultuous times, the Human Federation now... is already riddled with problems!"
Emperor Bai said softly, feeling the pressure on his shoulders growing heavier.
After shaking his head, Emperor Bai’s figure vanished into this cosmic star river.
...
"Devouring Realm Empress! Nest Consciousness!"
"What on earth does your Void Insect Race mean by this!"
Above the Void Insect Race’s territory, the Three Thousand Worlds, a roar filled with endless rage slowly echoed, accompanied by a vast spiritual power that instantly enveloped the entire Three Thousand Worlds.
In that instant, the Devouring Realm Empress slowly opened her eyes, looking towards the direction from which the voice came, a trace of disdain in her gaze.
"What do you want to say?"
The Devouring Realm Empress spoke calmly, looking toward the source of the voice.
The figure of the Immortal slowly materialized within the Three Thousand Worlds, still just a spiritual avatar, as figures like the Immortal usually wouldn’t reveal their true form to other Galactic Life Forms.
Madmen are indeed persistent, but if it’s an intelligent madman, persistence usually comes with some caution.
The Immortal glared at the Devouring Realm Empress with a dark expression. If looks could kill, the Devouring Realm Empress would have been riddled with scars long ago.
"We had agreed before that your Void Insect Race would not get involved in such matters. Why..."
"Why does Lu Sheng have your tricks!!"
The Immortal roared lowly, yelling at the Devouring Realm Empress.
At this moment, the Immortal was completely at a loss, having spent such a great cost and allied with so many Galactic Life Forms all for the Entropy Nightmare Blood.
To let the physical power of the Chaos Dragon Emperor merge with his own spiritual power so that even among all the Galactic Life Forms, he would be considered a strong force.
But...
With the Devouring Realm Empress’s method triggered on Lu Sheng, all his calculations fell apart.
This made the Immortal extremely dissatisfied.
Facing the Immortal’s roar, the Devouring Realm Empress calmly replied, "I have adhered to the agreement between us and have not intervened."
"The technique on Lu Sheng was left by me previously. You only asked us not to intervene this time, but you didn’t say anything about reclaiming the technique I previously left on Lu Sheng!"
The Devouring Realm Empress said calmly.
Indeed, during Lu Sheng’s tribulation while advancing from the sixth to the seventh level, the Devouring Realm Empress had left some means on Lu Sheng.
But in the end, that technique hadn’t been triggered, so the Devouring Realm Empress’s method was left on Lu Sheng.
It just so happened that this time... it came in handy.
"You!"
The Immortal was so infuriated by the Devouring Realm Empress’s words that he was momentarily speechless, at a loss.
At the level of a Galactic Life Form, certain truths could vaguely be discerned, especially for a Galactic Life Form skilled in the spiritual domain.
The Immortal was able to sense the truth in the Devouring Realm Empress’s words.
Thus, the Immortal found himself with nothing left to say; indeed, he hadn’t mentioned this before.
In the end, he could only swallow this bitter pill in silence.
"Hmph!"
The Immortal snorted coldly, knowing he had no other reason to continue this pointless argument. If he provoked the Nest Consciousness to explode, it would be troublesome.
Then, the Immortal’s figure disappeared from the Three Thousand Worlds.
