Chapter 544: Chapter544-On the Eve of the Final Battle
For years, Demon Lord Vasu had never been able to forget Faustus.
Faustus had practically become the greatest obstacle on his cultivation path during this period, to the point that he had already turned into an inner demon.
If he could not eliminate this inner demon, then Demon Lord Vasu’s cultivation path would be completely severed.
When Demon Lord Vasu first learned that the person in the Abyss Forbidden Land was actually Faustus, he had immediately believed that he would never have another chance at revenge.
After all, the other party had triggered a gold-grade Cosmic Tribulation.
Back when Faustus was only Divine-grade, he had already been capable of fighting Demon Lord Vasu, who was a Tier 6 powerhouse.
By now, Faustus could probably kill him with a casual strike.
For a time, Demon Lord Vasu had fallen into utter despair.
He had never expected that he would actually get a chance to attack Faustus in the Myriad Races Universe this time.
More importantly, he was accompanying Kellen Oracle-grade, a peak Tier 7 Oracle-grade powerhouse.
Calling Kellen Oracle-grade a half-step Tier 8 powerhouse would not be an exaggeration.
He could casually insta-kill ordinary Tier 7 Oracle-grades of the same rank.
With strength like that, he would definitely be able to suppress Faustus and finally help Demon Lord Vasu break free from his inner demon.
Thinking of this, Demon Lord Vasu continued,
"I’m sure you’ve heard about it as well. Holy Golden Mountain’s headquarters has already relocated to the Chaosverse.
"The branch they left behind in the Myriad Races Universe is filled with nothing more than the old, weak, sick, and crippled.
"They barely have any real strength, yet they still dare occupy such a valuable starfield.
"With your overwhelming strength, you can definitely help us suppress that damned Faustus and completely wipe out Holy Golden Mountain’s branch."
Kellen Oracle-grade glanced sideways at Demon Lord Vasu but did not answer immediately.
After a moment, he said indifferently,
"Vasu, I heard that the Faustus currently stationed at Holy Golden Mountain’s branch is an old enemy of yours.
"You aren’t trying to borrow my blade to kill someone for you, are you?"
Demon Lord Vasu’s expression changed drastically when his intentions were exposed.
He hurriedly denied it.
"No, no, no! How would I dare think such a thing?"
Kellen Oracle-grade snorted coldly, a faint smile appearing on his face.
"I know what I’m doing.
"I don’t need you teaching me how to handle matters.
"Understand?"
Demon Lord Vasu was scared out of his wits and hurriedly nodded.
"I understand. I understand."
His entire back was already drenched in cold sweat.
At the same time, he was secretly alarmed.
As expected, no one who had cultivated to the Great Sage level was easy to deal with.
Every single one of them was incredibly shrewd.
With little more than a glance, they could often see straight through another person’s intentions.
Although Demon Lord Vasu had been reprimanded by Kellen Oracle-grade, he did not dare feel even the slightest resentment.
The difference in strength between them was simply far too great.
He no longer dared provoke the man and obediently shut his mouth.
Demon Lord Vasu hurriedly slapped himself twice before nodding respectfully.
"Everything on this journey will be decided by you.
"I will obey every order you give.
"This subordinate truly spoke too much just now. I deserve punishment."
Kellen Oracle-grade did not even bother looking at him.
His gaze was already fixed ahead, his thoughts unknown.
A short while later, he turned toward another Tier 7 Oracle-grade powerhouse beside him and ordered,
"Turn around.
"We’re heading to the Jialuo Starfield."
The Tier 7 Oracle-grade powerhouse immediately replied,
"Understood, Leader."
The Starship then changed course and began flying deeper into the Myriad Races Universe.
Demon Lord Vasu had originally thought that after Kellen Oracle-grade saw through his scheme, the man would refuse to follow his suggestion.
Unexpectedly, Kellen Oracle-grade had still agreed.
He had actually been persuaded into changing course toward the Jialuo Starfield.
A sinister smile gradually appeared on Demon Lord Vasu’s face.
He secretly rejoiced.
Faustus.
It seems I really will get my revenge this time.
Now, come and resolve this inner demon of mine.
...
Holy Golden Mountain’s former headquarters.
Secret Realm No. 1.
The formation was still continuously resisting the Cosmic Tribulation.
Daniel had spent an enormous amount of resources constructing this tribulation-crossing formation.
Moreover, the Cosmic Tribulation he was currently facing was the Decline of Heaven and Man, which consumed relatively little energy from the formation.
Because of this, the formation could continue operating on its own for a very long time.
Inside the formation, Daniel sat cross-legged.
At present, he could no longer perceive anything.
And that was precisely what made the situation so dangerous.
However, Daniel’s Dao of Battle was finally displaying its true value.
The Dao Heart.
The true purpose of a Dao Heart was revealed at moments like this.
Whether facing favorable circumstances or desperate adversity, the Dao of Battle allowed Daniel to maintain a clear mental state without losing himself.
He could no longer sense the passage of time.
There was only one thing he knew.
He could not leave.
He had to remain inside the formation.
As long as he continued enduring, he would definitely survive the tribulation.
As for when exactly the tribulation would end—
The Decline of Heaven and Man might disappear in the very next second.
Or it might last another month.
Regardless, the light at the end would eventually appear.
All he needed was patience.
...
Jialuo Starfield.
A Starship flying the banner of the Eternal Tribulation Palace appeared.
The Starship stopped at the outer edge of the Jialuo Starfield.
Countless severed heads floated near the various entrances to the starfield.
Among them were the heads of Divine-grade powerhouses.
There were even heads belonging to Tier 7 Oracle-grade powerhouses.
All of them belonged to enemies Holy Golden Mountain had killed.
They served as a warning to every faction and powerhouse harboring malicious intentions.
Anyone who wished to challenge Holy Golden Mountain’s authority would have to pay a price.
The price of their life!
"Hmph."
Inside the Starship, Demon Lord Vasu looked at the scene with disdain.
Kellen Oracle-grade was nothing like those people.
Unless Holy Golden Mountain currently had a Tier 8 Oracle-grade powerhouse stationed here, Kellen Oracle-grade alone would be enough to suppress the entire Holy Golden Mountain branch.
Those severed heads certainly possessed some deterrent effect.
Unfortunately, they could not intimidate the powerhouses of the Eternal Tribulation Palace, who had long since grown accustomed to slaughter.
They were beings who practically lived for killing.
Demon Lord Vasu’s expression turned cold.
He suddenly waved his hand.
A gigantic palm manifested in the void and swept away all the severed heads floating in front of the Starship.
Kellen Oracle-grade glanced at Demon Lord Vasu before calmly ordering,
"Continue forward."
At that exact moment, two beams of light suddenly shot out from his eyes.
The twin beams streaked toward a distant location within the Endless Starfield.
Crash!
A Mystic Azure Mirror hidden in the distance was instantly shattered by Kellen Oracle-grade’s divine ability.
Meanwhile, countless miles away in the Gold-grade Realm, a player hurriedly flew out from one of the buildings.
He immediately reported the information to his superior.
That superior contacted someone higher up.
The intelligence continued being passed upward layer by layer.
Eventually, it reached Shamir Oracle-grade.
"A Starship flying the banner of the Eternal Tribulation Palace..."
Shamir Oracle-grade’s heart sank heavily.
The Eternal Tribulation Palace!
Those people were a bunch of lunatics!
Shamir Oracle-grade’s eyelids twitched uncontrollably.
A powerful sense of foreboding rose in his heart.
"I’ll use the Great Evolution Divination Art to calculate whether this is auspicious or disastrous."
Shamir Oracle-grade gritted his teeth.
At the cost of sacrificing part of his lifespan, he raised his hand and began making calculations with his fingers.
Suddenly—
Shamir Oracle-grade’s fingers froze.
"Urgh!"
He spat out a mouthful of blood.
The divination had caused a backlash.
However, at the same time, he had managed to glimpse part of the truth.
"The Eternal Tribulation Palace force is actually being led by Kellen Oracle-grade.
"He is an extremely terrifying Tier 7 Oracle-grade powerhouse.
"And beneath him are two more late-stage Tier 7 Oracle-grade powerhouses, along with many other Oracle-grades.
"The Jialuo Starfield is facing a major disaster this time."
Shamir Oracle-grade’s eyes flickered.
"And I...
"This avatar of mine will most likely perish as well."
That was the result he had calculated.
