Chapter 1630: Chapter 715: Renowned Across the Cosmos

“Ten? That’s too many.”

The Immortal Emperor gently shook his head: “Dark Witch, you must understand, it’s not ten true bodies of the Emperor Realm you’re asking for, but the origin of the lives of ten Emperor Realms… where can I gather so many Emperor Realms for you?”

If this conversation were to spread, it would surely astonish many super-powerful individuals.

After all, apart from situations like Cosmic Realm reincarnation, under normal circumstances, the complete fall of one Emperor Realm is already a significant event, let alone a total of ten Emperor Realms?

“Hahaha.”

“Immortal Emperor, it’s just the two of us here, there’s no need for you to pretend.” The Dark Witch Dominator’s harsh voice carried a hint of mockery: “You, Tianluo, and Heaven-reaching all have decades of directly subordinate Emperor Realms under your command… more than a hundred Emperor Realms nominally answer to you.”

“But why do I specifically come to trade with you?”

“Tianluo and Heaven-reaching may have some control over their subordinate Emperor Realms, but they can’t truly control life and death… only you.”

“The more than thirty Emperor Realms directly under the Immortal Court, their lives and deaths are all at your whim, even if you eliminate those significantly influenced by the Lords of the Universe, there are still nearly twenty left.”

“Taking out just ten for the transaction, what’s the harm?”

“Moreover, if you can coax a few Emperor Realms from affiliated forces, it becomes even easier,” the Dark Witch Dominator said in a low voice, “Without my help, your hope to obtain the Holy Remains in the Abyssal Sea Sacrifice is less than ten percent.”

The Immortal Emperor on the Immortal Carriage remained calm and unperturbed.

“These Emperor Realms are the foundation of my Immortal Court, which has been established over the long years. They have grown under my watch, like my junior kin, and many have greatly contributed to my Immortal Court,” the Immortal Emperor said nonchalantly.

He looked at the Dark Witch Dominator.

“Hypocritical fellow.”

“Aren’t you just trying to increase the price?” The Dark Witch Dominator shook his head: “Fine, I’ll give you an additional twenty drops of Abyssal Spirit Blood.”

“I am not coveting your treasures,” the Immortal Emperor said calmly: “It’s just that the time until the Abyssal Sea Sacrifice opens is very short, and selecting these Emperor Realms is not easy. I need to think it over carefully.”

“Immortal Emperor, you’ve gone too far. Hard to choose people? Haven’t I already helped you choose one, Yu Mountain? You just need to select nine more.” The Dark Witch Dominator’s voice changed: “What I can offer is this much, take it or leave it.”

“And if I’m unwilling?”

“Hmph! The cosmos is vast, and you’re not the only dominator who obtained the ’Immortal List’ from the Ancient Heavenly Court. I can completely trade with other Immortal Dao dominators,” the Dark Witch Dominator said coldly: “At most, it will be a bit troublesome.”

The Dark Witch Dominator stared at the Immortal Emperor, awaiting his response.

The Immortal Emperor suddenly laughed.

“Trade with other Immortal Dao dominators? Do they have as many Emperor Realms under their command as I do?” The Immortal Emperor said with a relaxed smile: “Twenty drops of Abyssal Spirit Blood are not enough, make it fifty.”

“You’re ruthless!”

“Fine, fifty it is. Deal.” The Dark Witch Dominator said: “When the Sacrificial Sea opens, I will notify you on how to proceed with the transaction.”

“Don’t be in such a hurry to leave.”

“Tell me, if I deliver the ten Emperor Realms as promised and in the end, I don’t obtain the Abyssal Holy Remains, what then?” The Immortal Emperor said calmly.

“Then I will compensate you with 150 additional drops of Abyssal Spirit Blood, how about that?” The Dark Witch Dominator said.

The Immortal Emperor squinted his eyes, gazing at the Dark Witch Dominator for a long time before finally laughing: “Dark Witch, do you really have that much Abyssal Spirit Blood? I hope you won’t break your promise. Let’s both make an Eternal Oath.”

“You hypocritical fellow.” The Dark Witch Dominator shook his head: “Agreed.”

Soon, the two made an Eternal Oath… For beings at their level, the Eternal Oath had no absolute binding power, but breaking it would still come at a great cost.

So, they were not willing to easily break the oath.

Buzz~

The incarnation of the Dark Witch Dominator dissipated.

Leaving the Immortal Emperor alone on the Immortal Carriage, his eyes dimly reflecting as he pondered silently, “The Dark Witch plots through the endless ages, every time the Abyssal Sea Sacrifice opens, he will find ways to sacrifice Emperor Realms and abundant low-rank Quasi-Saints to the Abyss, yet he’s willing to trade Abyssal Spirit Blood?”

Abyssal Spirit Blood, the essence of the Abyss Dominator.

In the past, the Immortal Emperor found it hard to obtain even a single drop… This is not a treasure that can be measured with Eternal Crystals, yet this time the Dark Witch Dominator is willing to provide fifty drops?

“What lies deep within the Abyssal Sea Sacrifice?” the Immortal Emperor was quite curious.

Unfortunately, he was not a strong figure of the Abyss lineage, not even dominators could easily venture into the deepest regions of the Abyssal Sea Sacrifice… that area is considered a forbidden zone for cultivators.

Aside from the Abyss Dominator, even most Divine Emperors of the Abyss Lineage do not qualify.

“Yu Mountain? He’s one.”

“As for the others, who should be chosen?” The Immortal Emperor pondered silently, knowing that any Emperor Realm selected for the list would, in effect, be placed on a death list.

Yet within the Immortal Emperor’s heart, there was not a ripple of emotion.

On the surface, he showed great respect for his subordinate Emperor Realms, granting many Lords of the Universe autonomy… but it was always just an appearance.

As the possessor of the Immortal List, he held the power of life and death over his subordinate Emperor Realms.

“What a pity.”

“The Immortal List only allows for a maximum of 36 slots for Emperor Realms, and their strength can’t surpass mine, otherwise, there will be backlash risk,” sighed the Immortal Emperor inwardly.

The Immortal List, with its endless might and extraordinary mysteries.

Even Emperor Realms, once registered, found it hard to break free.

It was the supreme treasure he obtained while exploring another Eternal Relic, the Ancient Heavenly Court… Using this treasure, he eventually built the grand Immortal Court.

“Years of nurturing.”

“Shall serve as sustenance on my cultivation path.” The Immortal Emperor determined his list, paying respect to subordinate Emperor Realms was merely for them to serve more diligently.

Yet all the nurturing.

Was for the day they could be used.

To the Immortal Emperor, one Abyssal Holy Remains hold value beyond any treasure… in truth, without the guidance of the Dark Witch Dominator, he had no confidence in acquiring it.
