Chapter 1344
1344 The Greedy Emperor Strange!
Swoosh.
It was an unfamiliar chiliocosm domain. The chiliocosm domain was completely dead. There was no aura of life at all, as if all lifeforms had been devoured by the Celestial Devil.
The figure of the Indefinite Sect Master appeared here. However, this body was only an avatar, far inferior to the avatar with a 20 million-layer Celestial Devil’s true form back then.
However, the last time, in order to “deceive” Supremacy Seven Treasures, his avatar was destroyed. Now, this avatar only had merely 10,000 layers of Celestial Devil’s true form at most. It could only be used for “traveling” and giving orders from the Indefinite Sect Master.
In a real battle, it would not be of much use.
The avatar of the Indefinite Sect Master had come from afar to this empty and seemingly dead chiliocosm domain. Naturally, he had a purpose.
The situation of the Indefinite Sect was critical now. If this continued and the Indefinite Sect was destroyed, as the Sect Master, he would probably be in danger. Once the Opulent Lodge Headquarters opened the descension passage, wouldn’t he be finished?
Hence, the best method was to completely destroy the Opulent Lodge. Without some detailed data provided by the Opulent Lodge and some help, it would not be so easy for the Opulent Lodge in the medium chiliocosm to open the descension passage.
Perhaps at that time, he would even have a chance of becoming a Three-star Emperor. Why would he be afraid of the descension of powerful Supremacies from the Opulent Lodge?
However, the prerequisite was that the current crisis had to be resolved first. Currently, the greatest crisis the Indefinite Sect was facing was the Opulent Lodge, especially Lin Feng, who could kill the two tutelaries, Emperor Ancient Savage and Emperor Prime Capital. Right now, no one in the Indefinite Sect could deal with Lin Feng. If this continued, it was only a matter of time before the Indefinite Sect was destroyed.
Hence, the avatar of the Indefinite Sect Master had come here.
The Indefinite Sect Master came to an empty area, where there did not even appear to be a single world. However, he sneered, and suddenly extended his hand to point at the void.
Buzz.
Ripples spread in all directions. Right on the heels of that, a huge city appeared in the void. It was like a world stretching across the void, emitting a vast, desolate, and ancient aura.
“Who disturbed my slumber?”
Suddenly, a magnificent voice sounded, as if an ancient fiend had awakened. The terrifying aura turned the surroundings viscous, and it felt difficult to move an inch.
Even the Indefinite Sect Master was under immense pressure at this moment. After all, the one who came here was only an insignificant avatar. It was equivalent to the most ordinary One-star Supremacy.
“Emperor Strange, I’m here to visit. Am I not welcome?”
Even though the Indefinite Sect Master’s expression was a little dark, and he was under immense pressure, as a Two-star Emperor, he naturally had exceptional bearing.
Boom.
The entire huge ancient city seemed to shake. An incomparable giant like a black sun appeared in the ancient city, and stepped out with a single step.
The overlapping rings of black airflow on its body were actually layers upon layers of Celestial Devil’s true form. They were densely packed and simply innumerable. There were at least tens of millions of layers of Celestial Devil’s true form.
“Eh? So it’s the Indefinite Sect Master. Do excuse me for not putting on a proper welcome. What sent the dignified Indefinite Sect Master to a remote place like mine?”
Emperor Strange retracted his Celestial Devil’s force field and stared down at the Indefinite Sect Master. However, he had no intention of letting the Indefinite Sect Master enter the ancient city at all.
Clearly, Emperor Strange was very wary of the Indefinite Sect Master. Even though he was an ancient entity with tens of millions of layers of Celestial Devil’s true form, he was ultimately not a Two-star Emperor. There was still a huge gap between him and a Two-star Emperor. It would be odd for him to be careless when facing the Indefinable Sect Master.
“Emperor Strange, when did you become so cowardly? Is this still the same Emperor Strange who intimidated hundreds of chiliocosm domains back then? This is only an avatar of mine. You can destroy it with a breath. Why would you be afraid of me?”
The Indefinite Sect Master’s expression was dark. He would not have come to this godforsaken place personally unless absolutely necessary, let alone visit Emperor Strange.
This Emperor Strange in front of him was famed for his greed. Even the Indefinite Sect Master did not want to deal with Emperor Strange. However, as a last resort, in the current crisis, the Indefinite Sect Master had no choice but to compromise.
“Heh, the reputation of the Indefinite Sect Master is too great. How can I dare to underestimate the Sect Master?”
“All right, I’m visiting you today for something important. You devoured a few chiliocosm domains last time and hid here to condense the Celestial Devil’s true form. You’ve almost completed condensing it, right? Now, I have something important to discuss with you. It will also be of great benefit to you.”
The Indefinite Sect Master knew this Emperor Strange very well, so he asked directly.
“Oh? What is it, Sect Master?”
“There’s no harm in telling you. Currently, my Indefinite Sect is fighting with the Opulent Lodge. There’s a One-star Supremacy among them who’s very difficult to deal with. He defeated the left and right tutelaries of my Indefinite Sect. The situation is critical now. I’ve specially come to ask you to come out of seclusion and help me.”
Hearing that he was here to ask for help, Emperor Strange shook his head and said, “Sect Master, you must be joking. If there’s something even you can’t handle, even if I go, I can’t do anything.”
The Indefinite Sect Master knew that Emperor Strange wanted benefits. The other party’s greed was famous even among Celestial Devils. Hence, the Indefinite Sect Master could only grit his teeth and say, “I currently have five million portions of world origin. These are all I have saved up until now. I’ll give them all to you.”
Emperor Strange’s heart skipped a beat. Five million portions of world origin was not a small amount. However, he looked at the Indefinite Sect Master, then shook his head and rejected decisively. “Five million portions of world origin is indeed very tempting, but one has to be alive to use them. The Opulent Lodge is not to be trifled with. Moreover, if you came for help, Sect Master, the matter must be even more complicated. So, please find someone else.”
“Emperor Strange, the one you’ll be dealing with is just a One-star Supremacy with a few million worlds. I’ll deal with that Two-star Supremacy of the Opulent Lodge myself. Why? Are you afraid?”
“It’s not that I’m afraid, but that… it’s not enough!”
Emperor Strange closed his eyes.
The corners of the Indefinite Sect Master’s lips twitched slightly. He had long known that Emperor Strange was greedy, but he did not expect him to be so greedy. Even a Two-star Emperor like him would need a very long time to accumulate five million portions of world origin.
Even though the Indefinite Sect Master was very displeased, he could only continue raising the stakes at a time like this.
“After we defeat the Opulent Lodge, all the worlds in the chiliocosm domains of the Opulent Lodge will be split among us equally,” the Indefinite Sect Master continued.
“No, I want all of them!”
A cold glint flashed across the Indefinite Sect Master’s eyes at Emperor Strange’s words. However, in the end, he still nodded and said, “All right, all of them are yours.”
“But it’s still not enough!”
This time, the Indefinite Sect Master was completely enraged.
“Emperor Strange, don’t be too greedy. Aren’t you afraid that I’ll kill you too after the matter is done?” the Indefinite Sect Master said loudly.
However, Emperor Strange looked indifferent. He shook his head and said, “Sect Master, there are many people who want to kill me. More than one Two-star Supremacy among the Controllers wants to kill me, but I’m still alive and well up until now. If you really want to kill me, Sect Master, you have to consider it carefully, and make proper arrangements.”
Emperor Strange did not seem to be afraid of the Indefinite Sect Master at all.
At this moment, the Indefinite Sect Master calmed down instead. He knew that it was not that easy to persuade Emperor Strange. He had already offered all the leverages he could.
What else could move this greedy Emperor Strange?
Suddenly, inspiration flashed through the Indefinite Sect Master’s mind.
“Emperor Strange, what if I add on another piece of information regarding the mystery of time?”
“Huh? The mystery of time!”
Emperor Strange suddenly lifted his head, and a trace of fervor flashed across his eyes.
