Chapter 826 826: The Times Have Changed
As the top-tier presence in the realm of celestial herbs and treasures.
The Chaos Three-leaf Clover possesses an incredibly sharp intuition, otherwise, it could never have survived in the perilous Immortal Domain until now.
It knows.
If it dares to take another step forward, it will truly die under that human's sword.
Destroy what you cannot obtain?
How could such ruthless cultivators exist in the world!
Moreover, how did they get in, able to break through the 'defense layer' formed by the washing of the Spiritual Liquid Waterfall, which truly astonished the clover.
"The Supreme Emperor, please don't harm it."
Sikong Jiu transmitted his divine sense anxiously, "It should be the last Chaos Three-leaf Clover in the Immortal Domain, capable of reshaping a physically innate Hundun body."
Xu Lai understood.
No wonder Sikong Jiu was so urgent.
For Sikong Jiu, having already become part of the Heavenly Dao, he longed to reshape his body.
Although being part of the Heavenly Dao Laws means immortality in some sense, it also means losing one's freedom, eternally bound to a small star, both becoming a shared fate.
If Earth were to die, Sikong Jiu could not survive either.
The Immortal Domain has many spirit plants that can reshape the body, but in Sikong Jiu's unique situation, perhaps only the Chaos Three-leaf Clover might be able to reshape a perfectly compatible body for him.
Trying to forcibly peel a trace of divine soul connected to the Heavenly Dao Laws, other celestial herbs and treasures truly cannot achieve that.
"I am willing to swear by the Heavenly Dao that as long as you help me create a new body, I promise not to harm your roots and let you go."
Sikong Jiu spoke softly, "I can even provide a safe haven for you during the upcoming epochal demise."
"The epochal demise is coming? Isn't the current Great Emperor of the Immortal Domain Si Li?"
The voice of the Chaos Three-leaf Clover came out cute and childish, filled with disbelief.
Sikong Jiu: "..."
The Great Emperor of the Second Era came from the Blood Demon Tribe and was a supreme genius, named Si Li.
So, could it be that this one before them has been asleep since the Second Era until now?
"The times have changed."
Sikong Jiu sighed, "It's now the one hundredth era of the Immortal Domain, and the one before you is Great Emperor Qingfeng, Xu Qingfeng."
"You liar!"
The Chaos Three-leaf Clover trembled and its childish voice was filled with anger:
"With the Great Emperor born from the epochal demise, I'll be dead with no place for burial, I'm staying right here, I won't go anywhere."
"Oh?"
Xu Lai spoke softly, sword intent dancing at his fingertips.
"Human Race Great Emperor, if you have the ability, just kill me right here, this is not the Immortal Domain. If you wake the sleeping one... all of you will die here!"
The Chaos Three-leaf Clover's brave front was betrayed by a trembling voice, clearly terrified deep down.
Boo hoo hoo.
The old neighbor still hasn't awakened?
Haven't you noticed pests crawling onto your back!
The Chaos Three-leaf Clover constantly extended its divine sense, trying to awaken the old neighbor that could provide it protection, yet...
No response from the other side!
"Who are you passing your divine sense to." Xu Lai was intrigued.
"No-no business of yours..."
"Is it a humanoid being with six wings?" Sikong Jiu pressed on.
"..."
The Chaos Three-leaf Clover said nothing.
Sikong Jiu grew impatient, "The Supreme Emperor, might as well kill it, a dead Chaos Three-leaf Clover still has its uses."
Words.
Naturally weren't sincere.
Psychological warfare is paramount.
As expected.
The Chaos Three-leaf Clover shivered in fear.
Celestial herbs and treasures, although having unimaginable lifespans and Heavenly Dao blessings, rarely possess self-preservation abilities.
Like even Snowflower, surviving a cycle, is a sitting duck in front of Xu Lai, let alone the defenseless Chaos Three-leaf Clover.
Panicking, it turned to flee.
But, too slow.
Although continually repelled by the Bronze Stone Mountain, Xu Lai forcibly endured, though he could only last ten more seconds.
Ten seconds.
Enough to capture the Chaos Three-leaf Clover dozens of times.
Xu Lai took the third step onto the Bronze Stone Mountain, appearing on the escape route of the Chaos Three-leaf Clover.
The little fellow reacted quickly, twisting its waist in a swag manner at the last moment to dodge Xu Lai, running towards the other side of the Bronze Stone Mountain.
Xu Lai didn't chase.
A slice of Qingfeng Sword Intent came out, nearly frightening the Chaos Three-leaf Clover to death as the sword intent grazed the leaf and pierced into the stone mountain.
"Continue to escape?"
"..."
Escape surely wasn't viable anymore.
The Chaos Three-leaf Clover had just prepared to raise its leaves in surrender when the stone mountain beneath suddenly trembled.
An ancient and terrifying aura began to spread.
"Save me!!!"
The Chaos Three-leaf Clover rejoiced, actually shouting out loud instead of transmitting.
Sikong Jiu's expression drastically changed: "The Supreme Emperor, run!"
Xu Lai moved forward calmly with the fourth step, not leaving the Bronze Stone Mountain but arriving behind the Chaos Three-leaf Clover, grabbing it and stepping the fifth step, carrying Sikong Jiu, swiftly crossing thousands of miles into the well.
"Woo——"
A whimper echoed from within the vast crevice, resonating in the empty and silent well.
"Puff!"
Despite having the protection of the Emperor Realm, Sikong Jiu was severely injured by the echo, spitting out a large mouthful of...
Heavenly Dao Laws.
Spitting blood was impossible, ever since becoming the Earth Heavenly Dao, blood couldn't be spat anymore.
"Old..."
The Chaos Three-leaf Clover was about to shout again when Sikong Jiu swiftly took out a box forged from Divine Metal, enclosing the Chaos Three-leaf Clover within.
Immediately.
Not just the voice, even the aura completely disappeared.
Sikong Jiu wiped his cold sweat secretly: "Luckily prepared beforehand, the Heavenly Wood Divine Gold Box is specifically used to imprison celestial herbs and treasures. Otherwise, if that old neighbor of the Chaos Three-leaf Clover is attracted here, the consequences would be unimaginable!"
Being a neighbor to a celestial herb and treasure surviving for an era would undoubtedly be no ordinary character, perhaps even a fearsome one.
"Hmm?"
Sikong Jiu's eyelids suddenly twitched uncontrollably, his scalp tingled and goosebumps rose, an indescribable sense of danger surged in his heart.
Xu Lai sensed it too, quickly carrying Sikong Jiu upward, trying to swiftly leave the well within the sea's eye.
But it was too late.
A scorching airflow mixed with various stinking smells gushed from the bottom of the well, directly enveloping Sikong Jiu and Xu Lai, propelling them toward the sky at unimaginable speed.
Sikong Jiu could initially maintain balance in the airflow, but eventually lost control, completely losing consciousness.
"Done for!"
Sikong Jiu's mind held only this thought.
Opening his eyes again, who knows how much time had passed. Sikong Jiu stared at the starry sky obstructed by dense spiritual energy, looking somewhat dazed.
"Awake?"
A familiar voice called out.
Sikong Jiu turned his head to see Xu Lai, sitting cross-legged and absorbing spiritual energy.
He choked up, "The Supreme Emperor, on the road to reincarnation, never thought we'd accompany each other."
"Not dead."
Xu Lai glanced at him sideways.
Sikong Jiu's sobbing stopped abruptly, he first pinched his face hard, yelling from the pain.
Then he extended his hand to pinch Xu Lai...
Under the Supreme Emperor's accommodating gaze, Sikong Jiu withdrew his hand awkwardly, exclaiming, "Hahaha, I'm alive, I'm still alive!"
