747 Fate Worse Than Death!
"Grand Emperor, we are not a match for the Divine Emperor!"
The Divine Venerable of Deliverance also could not help but wear a shocked expression. Even though he knew the Divine Emperor of Eradication, and had even encountered him once, even he had never personally experienced the might of a Divine Emperor.
But now, after personally experiencing it, he felt despair.
Invincible. He was simply invincible!
Even though he was a peak Divine Venerable among Divine Venerables, and would not be afraid even if he's up against several Divine Venerables, the power of a Divine Emperor had already exceeded his imagination.
Just now, with that palm strike from Divine Emperor of Eradication, if he had wanted to, he could have killed these 20 Divine Venerables with that single palm strike. Even the Principle of Life could not withstand it.
The reason was very simple. That palm strike was already enough to instantly kill any Divine Venerable! The Principle of Life could only help them recover, but if they were instantly killed, the Principle of Life would not be able to revive them.
"Divine Emperor!"
Lin Feng's heart was also in shock. He had underestimated Divine Emperors too much. No wonder people were so secretive at the mention of Divine Emperors in the universe. No wonder Divine Emperors were almost a myth.
That was because those who had seen the power of a Divine Emperor were already dead!
The Divine Emperor of Eradication did not kill any of the Divine Venerables just now, not because he wanted to do them a favor, but because he felt that it was completely unnecessary. His eyes were filled with "disdain".
Even a dignified Divine Venerable was probably no different from an ant in the eyes of the Divine Emperor of Eradication, and could be crushed at will.
This was what a Divine Emperor was, an entity that truly stood at the peak of the universe!
"Grand Emperor, the Grand Emperor saved the White-Robed Fiend Celestial. What should we do?"
Divine Venerable Pelagios' expression was a little dark. They had actually encountered a Divine Emperor. This was an unexpected situation outside the plan.
"Save the White-Robed Fiend Celestial?"
Lin Feng shook his head and smiled mockingly, "If the White-Robed Fiend Celestial ends up in his hands, it'd probably be a fate worse than death! Heh, save the White-Robed Fiend Celestial? He's here to capture the White-Robed Fiend Celestial! His fundamental goal is to confine the White-Robed Fiend Celestial!"
Lin Feng did not actually say everything. This Divine Emperor of Eradication had probably long set his sights on the White-Robed Fiend Celestial. He had not found him in the past, and now that the White-Robed Fiend Celestial became active and was trapped by Lin Feng, he attacked in one fell swoop and confined the White-Robed Fiend Celestial.
Lin Feng even had a vague guess that Divine Emperor of Eradication probably confined the White-Robed Fiend Celestial for the secrets of the White-Robed Fiend Celestial.
What secrets did the White-Robed Fiend Celestial have? Without a doubt, the Sacred Stone of Anathema was probably the greatest secret of the White-Robed Fiend Celestial.
At once, Lin Feng also felt a trace of urgency. Divine Emperor. Even a Divine Emperor had appeared. He had a feeling that the Divine Emperor of Eradication would appear again.
If the Divine Emperor of Eradication appeared again, he would not leave as easily as he did today.
"Thank you for your trouble this time, Divine Venerables. However, there's one more thing I need your help with."
"Grand Emperor, if you need anything, just tell us. We will do our best."
Lin Feng looked into the depths of the cosmos. His gaze was profound as he said faintly, "Divine Venerables, please send a message to the universe. Those with a Chaotic Rift, be it clues on it or a direct offer of a Chaotic Rift, can obtain a transcendence technique!"
"What?"
All the Divine Venerables were shocked.
…
Swoosh.
In the distant and unfamiliar cosmos, a lone planet lay in the universe. It was deathly silent.
The Divine Emperor of Eradication took a step forward and descended directly into the dead planet.
He took out the artifact. The White-Robed Fiend Celestial was still visible in the artifact, and seemed very calm.
"He's recovered? The Law of Life is really miraculous. Even I wish I could comprehend the Law of Life. Unfortunately, I never got the chance."
A "kindly" smile appeared on the Divine Emperor of Eradication's face, but in the eyes of the White-Robed Fiend Celestial in the artifact, it was a demonic smile.
"Divine Emperor, thank you for saving me. If there's anything you want, tell me."
How could the White-Robed Fiend Celestial not see that the Divine Emperor of Eradication was not just "saving" him? He had clearly confined him. Moreover, he had tested this artifact already. Even with strength close to that of a Divine Emperor, he was actually unable to break it.
Hence, his various abilities were useless in this artifact.
Perhaps he could escape if he comprehended the Principle of Space, but he had not comprehended the Principle of Space. Now, he could only be confined in the artifact.
"White-robed Fiend Celestial, do you know how long I've been looking for you? Billions of years ago, I've already noticed you. The Principles you comprehended, the Law of Life you comprehended, and the method of planting seeds are truly breathtaking. I'm very curious about the secrets you have. Unfortunately, billions of years ago, you appeared briefly and disappeared very quickly. I had no way to find you. Fortunately, I got lucky this time and finally found you!"
The Divine Emperor of Eradication's words sent chills through the White-Robed Fiend Celestial's heart.
He had noticed him billions of years ago? To think that he had thought he was clever and was very cautious in his actions. He did not expect to have caught the attention of a famed Divine Emperor long ago.
"Divine Emperor, my comprehension of the Law of Life is also a coincidence. My comprehension of other Principles are even more of a coincidence…"
Thud.
Before he could finish speaking, the White-Robed Fiend Celestial sensed a terrifying power coming from the artifact. His combat body was actually crushed in an instant, turning into a bloody mist.
Even though he had the Law of Life and could recover rapidly, the pain was unbearable.
"White-robed Fiend Celestial, how difficult is it to comprehend Principles? Relying on natural aptitude? Stop joking. How can a mere Divine Venerable like you comprehend so many Principles? My patience is limited. Tell me the secrets on you."
Since the Divine Emperor of Eradication had his eyes on the White-Robed Fiend Celestial, how could he not have investigated thoroughly?
The White-Robed Fiend Celestial possessed the Law of Life and many Principles. Even a Divine Emperor could not comprehend so many Principles, let alone the White-Robed Fiend Celestial.
However, the White-Robed Fiend Celestial gritted his teeth and insisted in a low voice, "Divine Emperor, one can only rely on themselves to comprehend Principles. How can there be any shortcuts? Divine Emperor, you've really found the wrong person…"
"Is that so? Although you possess the Law of Life, and I can't kill you, I can confine you forever! Moreover, you can try the various destructive methods in this artifact one by one. If your will is indestructible and you're not afraid of torture, I won't coerce you anymore either."
The Divine Emperor of Eradication smiled, and flames instantly surged in the artifact.
This kind of flame was very terrifying, as if it was not part of the Principles. The White-Robed Fiend Celestial had comprehended the Principle of Fire, but he could not control this kind of flames. Immediately, flames attacked his body, and the White-Robed Fiend Celestial combat body burned fiercely. The pain was simply unbearable.
Thud.
In the end, even the White-Robed Fiend Celestial chose to self-destruct. However, he had the Law of Life, and he would recover quickly. Once he recovered, the flames would appear again.
The burning was simply infinite. There seemed to be no hope, no end in sight.
Being able to cultivate to the level of a Divine Venerable and create a cultivation technique for "seeds", the White-Robed Fiend Celestial could be considered someone with a strong will. No matter how painful it was, he endured it with all his might.
One day, two days, three days…
One month, two months, three months…
The White-Robed Fiend Celestial was burned incessantly. The pain would not abated with the passage of time or the number of times it was endured. On the contrary, as time passed, the White-Robed Fiend Celestial was enduring this pain at all times. It was simply soul-piercing. Moreover, he could not see any hope, which made it even more despairing.
At this moment, being undying seemed to have become a burden and liability. The White-Robed Fiend Celestial wished that he did not have the Law of Life. He wished that he could be quietly burned to ashes in the flames.
Unfortunately, he would be "revived" again and again, and continue to endure the hellish pain and torture. This was what a fate worse than death truly meant!
One year, two years, three years…
The Divine Emperor of Eradication was very patient. He had already waited for so many years. Why would he care about this little time?
He was not in a hurry. He did not even open his eyes, as if he was in a deep slumber, waiting quietly for the White-Robed Fiend Celestial to talk. The thought that the White-Robed Fiend Celestial would not talk had never passed through his mind.
It did not matter if the White-Robed Fiend Celestial could withstand it for a year or two. A decade or so was nothing. Even if it took hundreds or thousands of years, he could wait!
Time was meaningless to Divine Emperors.
"Divine Emperor of Eradication, I'll tell you. I'll tell you everything you want!"
In the artifact, the White-Robed Fiend Celestial bellowed wildly. His expression was completely distorted, and his voice turned hysterical.
"Oh? It's only been ten years."
The Divine Emperor of Eradication opened his eyes. There was still a faint smile on his lips.
