Chapter 3228 Stumped Over The Unexpected Menace
In the inner circle of the central region, many Transcendents were gathered, some seated on the sand, some seated or swinging on summoned furniture, and some floating in the air.
Needless to say, they were all youths who came here for the realm concoction, expecting the veil to open anytime soon so that they could all try their hand at refining the pill after deciding who had the strongest group of them all.
But what happened was entirely different from their imagination or expectations.
None of them appeared to have the prowess to succeed as a strange Anarchic Divergent appeared and managed to subvert them all into side characters when they were supposed to be the main characters of their era, making them silent and speechless over the turn of events.
An Anarchic Divergent appeared. What of it?-
-would be their usual reaction as no Anarchic Divergent, much less a Divergent, would dare to make an enemy out of them.
They were not Heaven's Warrior but were still loved by the heavens, so much so that they were blessed with a high bloodline and comprehension ability, putting them far above trillions of Transcendents and billions of Sovereigns.
They were the true young heavenly geniuses of the Celestial Transcendent Galaxy, standing above almost everyone. In fact, they disdained those who called themselves heavenly geniuses within their presence as they could not compare to them even if they had the craziest adventures. With just one word from them, even an Immortal Emperor would disappear from the universe as their words as future rulers carried such weight and influence.
So, an Anarchic Divergent wouldn't even pose much threat to them.
However, a single youth… an Anarchic Divergent with an apocalyptic flame spirit and a mysterious harem of extremely strong women, possibly Divergents or even Anarchic Divergents, managed to symbolically slap them in their faces and told them to scram and return with resources to exchange for their people to which they could only helplessly nod.
"Fuck! Is he the Emperor of Death or the Bandit Emperor?" Thiago Tigerius from the Sacred Tiger Upper Realm fumed, " If he wants to kill them, just kill them and be done with it. Why is there a need for him to demand resources!?"
He couldn't help but feel that this was more humiliating, especially as he had suffered a momentary defeat from receiving that white-robed woman's Divine Technique.
He was caught off-guard as he hadn't expected her to use the Mistwalker Family's powerful Divine Technique, but as a result, he was forced to flee in order to defend himself. As a Sacred Tiger Fey, he already found that intensely humiliating, but he must now negotiate with the enemies to buy his people back?
That was even more humiliating.
His words resonated with the other Transcendents, some nodding, but most didn't speak anything as they liked to reserve their options. After all, most of their alchemists and forgemasters were captives, so they needed them to participate in the realm concoction.
However, the thing was… would the Emperor of Death also have capable people who were highly skilled in alchemy and forging? Then, wouldn't taking back their people by giving away the hard-earned wealth they collected for a few months become a foolish act?
They had to weigh the advantages and disadvantages, but the lives of their fellow disciples made this situation highly confusing and highly disadvantageous for their future prospects because if it was known that they didn't rescue their fellow disciples one way or another, their leadership might be asked into question.
"Obviously, the reason he needs those resources is because he doesn't plan to stay after the realm concoction and wants to escape as soon as possible because there's no way he could handle the wrath of the elders."
Everyone turned to look into the distance and saw a dark green-robed man, recognizing that it was one of the two Emperor Cobra Upper Realm's Empyreal Monarchs, Taus Serpenzal.
Taus Serpenzal, who had been crushed by the Phantom Gaze Serpent, returned with a somber expression on his face.
Naturally, a few of his people had also been captured, so he was extremely pissed.
"Don't we have hostages of our own?" The other Empyreal Monarch of the Serpenzal Family chuckled.
"Do you mean the immortals under our protection?"
A white-robed man frowned. Standing beside him was also Astral Pill Upper Realm's Manasiz, who brought the immortals to the shelter and all the way here. He showed deference to the white-robed man, so it could be speculated that he was the Empyreal Monarch of the Astral Pill Upper Realm.
"I'm talking about the so-called Celestial Fairies. He seemed to have two of them if I'm right, and he is with a bevy of beauties, so it could be seen that he is or could be greatly vulnerable to exceptional women. We could use that to our advantage."
"Hmph!"
Rath Heavenshade harrumphed before the Astral Pill Upper Realm's Empyreal Monarch could even speak.
"You snakes always have an eye on Fairy Xiu Juili, so is your thought if you can't obtain the Celestial Fairies, then we of the Azure Dragon Upper Realm or the other realms shouldn't have them, too?"
"Careful. Your drool is dripping, Rath…" Taus Serpenzal piped in, his tone full of disdain.
"Heh! Whether my drool is dripping or not is none of your concern. It is true that I hold favorable thoughts for Fairy Xiu Juili, but ultimately, I promised her she is the one who gets to decide if she wants to be with me or cultivate freely. I've even sworn to the heavens."
"Even if you say that, with her being in your life ring, your words don't seem to be believable at all. Don't you have a harem of fifty women already, even bagging the Light Dragon Clan's Young Mistress?"
Taus Serpenzal asked, but Rath Heavenshade let out a prideful smirk. He didn't reply anymore.
Fairy Xiu Juili was in his life ring? He wished that was the case, but she was in his little sister's life ring. Even if he wanted her, he couldn't do anything about it as he really did swear to the heavens to gain her trust when they met initially. That was how much he favored her, but the other party didn't seem to hold much interest.
It was beneath him to even consider forcing a woman as he had all the beautiful women he could ever lay his eyes on, making him look at these miserable and cunning snakes with disdain.
However, he could understand why these snakes would be so obsessed over Fairy Xiu Juili since she was also half a snake. Just separating her from these deviant serpents gave him a sense of heroism.
Nonetheless, after many more discussions, their considerations and evaluation of the goods they were going to exchange ran for a few hours before they finally felt ready to pay the Emperor of Death a visit.
