Chapter 1126 - 1089: Who Exactly Seized the Great Opportunity of the Undead Creature!
The Immortal Temple, on the other side.
Empress Jin Yena and the elder of the Wise Race were engaged in intense combat.
One array technique after another was broken, attack after attack from the Golden-Winged Divine Race proved fruitless, and both sides found their match in this fierce battle.
The subordinates of the Golden-Winged Divine Race and the Wise Race were equally locked in heated conflict.
Suddenly, the Immortal Temple shook violently!
The dazzling totems overhead dimmed, and the divine sense vanished without a trace.
The once powerful oppressive force gradually weakened, like a sudden drop in a ferocious storm.
The grand energy of the Immortal Temple was slowly disappearing!
Boom!
Both parties instantly separated.
Empress Jin Yena furrowed her brows, clearly understanding what had happened.
The elder of the Wise Race sighed, showing a look of regret.
As experienced as they were, they suspected what had transpired.
The great opportunity of the undead creature had been seized.
What the changes in the Immortal Temple implied was crystal clear to them.
Without the support of divine sense, no cultivator could control the powerful divine artifact any longer, as the consciousness of the artifact would revive and take the lead.
Including the life within the Destruction Divine Artifact!
For this was, in essence, a Death Divine Artifact!
"Retreat!" the elder of the Wise Race set up another array technique.
One after another, the strong members of the Wise Race began to leave.
Empress Jin Yena no longer hindered them and led her subordinates through layers of golden spatial ripples, racing out.
Everything was over.
...
"Damn it, it slipped through our fingers!"
"Wonder which lucky fellow got the opportunity of the undead race!"
"Alas, in the end, it was taken by the Golden-Winged Divine Race."
One after another, the strong beings made a swift exit.
If they couldn’t get the great opportunity, they at least shouldn’t fall here.
Emperor Jin Cheshui was among them too.
His mind was full of question marks now.
Who exactly had taken the great opportunity of the undead race!
He had originally leaned toward the small figure from the Spiritual Race in higher dimensions because it was quite evident that the Tribe Leader’s skeletal remains had been taken by him.
At the same time, he was aware too of the connection between the Tribe Leader’s skeletal remains and the Immortal Temple.
But why would that little fellow attack him?
It made sense to attack the Yun Race, he could understand that.
But why attack him, what did it mean?
Firstly, with the intensity of the divine sense, it couldn’t possibly kill him.
Secondly, as a fellow clansman and combatant side-by-side, why would he attack him? Was he mad?
Moreover, how could he, a high dimension lord, dare to do so?
"Could it be I was wrong, and the one who got the undead race’s great opportunity isn’t this little fellow, but... the Universe Race!?" Emperor Jin Cheshui’s heart chilled, and his expression changed in an instant.
It made sense!
Because, at that time, he was pursuing Emperor Qianyun!
The Universe Race was in full retreat! n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
And the Universe Race had prepared to leave before the divine sense disappeared, as if... they foresaw it!
But why would the divine sense kill the Yun Race?
"To frame us?" Emperor Jin Cheshui’s gaze turned cold.
Indeed, once it was known that the Universe Race had gained the great opportunity of the undead race, not only would his own side cause them trouble, the Yun Race and the Wise Race would take action against them too!
Alliance? Nonsense.
The possibility was very high!
Emperor Jin Cheshui’s heart grew cold.
His instincts now leaned more toward the Universe Race having seized the great opportunity.
After all, with what right did a high dimension lord little fellow have it?
They were all from the Golden-Winged Divine Race, and right under his nose, he, the peak strongest expert, couldn’t get it, so how could a high dimension lord have done so?
What a joke!
And if he remembered correctly, the high dimension lord little fellow didn’t take the Tribe Leader’s skeletal remains the first time he touched them.
If it truly was his opportunity, it wouldn’t have been taken the second time around!
It must have been Emperor Qianyun up to no good!
But he couldn’t completely rule out the high dimension lord little fellow as a suspect either.
"After going out, let’s see if they are still around," Emperor Jin Cheshui thought carefully.
"If they are not, then there’s something fishy!"
...
Wang Ye, protected by the bodyguards of Spiritual Princess Ling Si and Spiritual Princess Ling Qi, was also retreating quickly.
He understood very well that obtaining the great opportunity of the undead race was important.
But it was even more crucial to make a safe escape!
Otherwise, he would merely be making a wedding dress for the other members of the Golden-Winged Divine Race.
In full view of everyone, he had taken the Tribe Leader’s skeletal remains, and so he was undoubtedly the prime suspect.
That’s why he had chosen to attack Emperor Jin Cheshui in the end.
On one hand, to prevent Emperor Jin Cheshui from taking immediate action and putting him to death after the Universe Race retreated,
he decided to first inflict a bit of will damage on Emperor Jin Cheshui, making him paranoid and even casting suspicions onto the Universe Race.
On the other hand, to rapidly deplete the Tribe Leader’s divine sense, returning the Immortal Temple to an ownerless state!
That way, he could clear the field directly, hastening the process, and also leaving Emperor Jin Cheshui with no time to make a move.
It had its flaws, of course. Once the Immortal Temple returned to being dominated by the divine artifact’s will, it would no longer be controlled.
But that didn’t matter, because he was unable to refine the Immortal Temple.
Even if he could refine it, possessing the divine artifact with his current strength would be a case of having guilt written all over his face.
He clearly didn’t know how the word "dead" was written.
"However, Emperor Jin Cheshui will still suspect me," Wang Ye understood.
This situation had to be dealt with.
And it had to be dealt with openly and honorably!
Otherwise, even if he managed to exit the lands of opportunity, he wouldn’t be able to leave the Glazed Death Realm!
This place was the territory of the Golden-Winged Divine Race!
*
*
Outside of the Immortal Temple.
The energy was chaotic, and space-time violently altered.
The Immortal Temple shook tremendously, and magnificent energy surged out from the temple!
Countless strong beings flew out of the golden gates, escaping the perilous situation!
Differently though, as soon as the strong members of the Universe Race and the Wise Race left, they didn’t stay for even half a moment, instantly fleeing the scene.
Only the strong members of the Golden-Winged Divine Race remained outside, keeping a close watch on the Immortal Temple.
They also disregarded the departure of the Universe Race and the Wise Race members.
Besides them were the strong members of the Yun Race!
They had not left!
A pair of eyes bloodshot with fury, filled with raging fire!
This battle had cost them dearly!
Especially for the strongest experts, a total of six had perished!
Already few in number and struggling to propagate, they now harbored bone-deep hatred toward the Golden-Winged Divine Race!
Especially him—
He!
"Roar!" Di Wu, the Strongest Expert of the Yun Race, upon seeing Wang Ye and the spiritual race powerhouses, instantly erupted in a towering rage!
Unleashing the chaos divine body, he charged at Wang Ye!
At the same time, other Yun Race Strongest Experts joined the attack!
The Golden-Winged Divine Race members all around were taken aback, clueless about what had happened.
"These madmen," Wang Ye furrowed his brows.
He actually didn’t want to draw too much attention, but the Yun Race refused to let him go.
However, the Yun Race really did lack brains.
Now that the Universe Race and the Wise Race had departed, everyone surrounding them was an ally.
Did they really think they could kill him in front of all these witnesses?
If word of this spread, the Golden-Winged Divine Race would be finished.
Boom boom boom!
The spiritual race’s defenses remained tight.
Spiritual Princess Ling Si and Spiritual Princess Ling Qi were very responsible.
"Scram!" Jin Yujun appeared swiftly, attacking the Yun Race powerhouses.
His Combat Prowess was indeed not very strong, but he had many strongest experts of the Golden-Winged Divine Race under his command.
Moreover, he had Empress Jin Yena supporting him from behind.
The Golden Wings cut through the sky, shattering the defense of the peak strongest expert Di Wu!
The explosive attacks, mixed with the power of the divine artifact, instantly showcased the fearsome Combat Prowess of one of the four emperors!
Empress Jin Yena naturally wouldn’t just watch her subordinates being attacked by the Yun Race.
If she did, where would her face be?
"Aooo!" The Yun Race Strongest Experts roared in anger.
Gritting their teeth and casting a contentious glance at Wang Ye and the Golden-Winged Divine Race, they knew that it was impossible to gain anything today and thus they hurriedly fled.
"Brainless idiots," Jin Yujun snorted coldly.
"Thank you, my lord." Wang Ye expressed his gratitude to Jin Yujun and gave a slight nod to Empress Jin Yena in the distance.
Whoosh! Empress Jin Yena appeared before him.
Golden Wings wrapped around her explosively curvaceous and lofty figure, her flawless eyes looking at Wang Ye: "How did you manage to offend the Yun Race?"
She was very clear that with the strength of a High Dimension Lord, it was impossible to have made such a fierce enemy out of the Yun Race.
"I killed a few of their Strongest Experts," Wang Ye confessed truthfully.
Hiss!
Jin Yujun sucked in a breath.
A few?
Wasn’t that statement a bit too arrogant?
These were the Yun Race Strongest Experts born with a chaos divine body!
Despite leading many under his command, he hadn’t killed even one of them!
How could a mere High Dimension Lord be so capable?
Empress Jin Yena’s beautiful eyes twinkled. She glanced at the spiritual race powerhouses, then looked back at Wang Ye: "How many?"
"Three," Wang Ye replied, his brows furrowing: "But afterward, two more fell, dying within the divine sense of the temple, unrelated to me, though it seems they’ve taken their anger out on me."
The divine sense of the Immortal Temple!?
Empress Jin Yena was surprised: "You obtained the fortunes of the undead creature?"
"Not me," Wang Ye smiled wryly: "I was with Emperor Jin Cheshui; even he couldn’t get it, how could I possibly manage…"
Wang Ye narrated the sequence of events.
Part true, part false, he subtly brought attention to the Universe Race’s role.
Empress Jin Yena and Jin Yujun listened, stunned.
The undead creature Tribe Leader’s bones!
The divine sense of the Immortal Temple reaping lives!
The grand fortune of the undead creature!
So it was here?
"Did you obtain the Tribe Leader’s bones?" Empress Jin Yena pressed her gaze onto Wang Ye.
"Yes," Wang Ye did not conceal it: "I don’t know why, but the first time I touched it, I couldn’t take it."
"The second time I touched it, the Tribe Leader’s bones suddenly lost their energy, and I was able to take it without issue."
"May I see it?" Empress Jin Yena thought for a moment, then added: "Don’t worry, I won’t steal your opportunity."
"That’s fine," Wang Ye looked around: "But I don’t want other members of the Golden-Winged Divine Race to know. Can we wait until we get back?"
Empress Jin Yena hummed softly in agreement, not saying much more.
This kind of voluntary transparency usually posed no problem.
But, who exactly had taken the great fortune of the undead creature?
Emperor Qianyun?
Or could it be… Emperor Jin Cheshui?
While musing over this, a sudden change occurred in the nearby Immortal Temple!
Bang bang bang!
Alarming energy exploded within the temple!
Full of destruction and death!
With the suppression of the divine sense gone, the original willpower began to stir back to life!
Those unable to escape in time were now in deep trouble!
Simultaneously, the Immortal Temple began to rotate rapidly, drawing in the death mist.
Whoosh! It plummeted downward!
In an instant, it vanished from the sight of all the Golden-Winged Divine Race powerhouses.
Some members of the Golden-Winged Divine Race chased after it, while the majority shook their heads in regret.
Wang Ye’s expression remained calm, silently watching.
To say he wasn’t disappointed would be a lie.
After all, it was a divine artifact.
But with so many Golden-Winged Divine Race members watching, he didn’t want to complicate matters unnecessarily.
Treasures are precious, but life is priceless.
Anyway, he was content.
He had obtained the inheritance of the undead creature, along with a vast amount of evolution points and Innate Realm Essence.
This haul was a massive win!
He had not only gained now, but also for the future!
As for divine artifacts, will there not be more opportunities in the future?
Suddenly, Wang Ye remembered something.
He seemed to have forgotten something?
The white jade pearl!
That pearl that illustrated the brilliance of the Immortal Temple!
The key to triggering the omens of the lands of opportunity!
Could it have some other purpose?
