Chapter 823 - - 578 Xianyou Dabu Pills_3

—————✧✧✧✧—————

At the bottom of the sea, he had to perform the water avoidance art, which greatly reduced his fighting power. Yet, when he tried to break through the surface, he was trapped by a pitch-black sphere of water that was sticky and tough, and its size was unknowable. He had tried once but failed to breach it.

That despicable fellow, when out of sight, cast aside all pretense and manipulated water to continually drill into his bodily orifices like ears, nose, mouth, and tongue. A moment of inattention, and he would be ensnared.

Once ensnared, a portion of his vital essence would be stripped away…

Xianyou True Monarch could not fathom why someone who claimed to be the Human Emperor, a person whose words were always about salvation and sacrifice, could execute such tactics with such proficiency?

He really was no good fortune’s child.

He dared not imagine what chaos the Three Realms would descend into if such a person were to grasp authority.

At this very moment.

Xianyou True Monarch dearly wished those who were beguiled by Duge could see who it was they truly worshipped.

But now, it was all too late.

Xianyou True Monarch was filled with regret, why had he suggested a duel?

If they had fought openly on the battlefield, due to concern for appearances, Duge would not have siphoned his vital essence; perhaps he might have had a chance to kill him or take down a few Demon Kings…

…

Suppressing Xianyou True Monarch was no easy task for Duge; he had used every trick he had to barely confine his opponent.

Had it not been for the maximum effect of the Sea God’s Power, he wouldn’t have been able to thicken the water in the direction of Xianyou True Monarch’s escape attempts in time, using the Dark God Power to keep him from breaking out of his cage.

On land, merely using the Profound Primordial Water Control Banner, Xianyou True Monarch would have probably escaped long ago.

Daluo Golden Immortals indeed had their own ranking, and it was clear that Xianyou True Monarch belonged to the very top tier, on the same level as the Taixuan Emperor…

Knowing his fate was sealed, Xianyou True Monarch simply gave up struggling and asked calmly, “Duge, can you tell me why you are doing this? Let me die with understanding?”

“To save this world, as well as to save myself,” Duge said.

“Duge, I am soon to die; do you not even have the courage to speak the truth to one on the verge of death?” Xianyou True Monarch exclaimed angrily.

“I am telling the truth,” Duge responded with a smile, “Not just me, but the Daoist Ancestor, the Immortal Emperor, all the strong in this world are striving for this goal. Remember the question I asked you before? Do you know why the Immortal Emperor sent you here?”

“…” Xianyou True Monarch was stunned, “Why?”

“To give me experience, to test more possibilities!” Duge said, “You surely didn’t think he truly cared about the establishment of the teachings of the Longevity Emperor? How could a nascent Buddhism be scarier than Pan-Universe Entertainment, which casually invades other worlds? You are the only simpleton who can’t discern what really matters…”

“Impossible, you’re lying to me again,” Xianyou True Monarch interrupted Duge, angrily asserting, “You practice Blood Law, provoke disturbances in the Mortal Realm, bewitched five Emperors into rebellion. You’re the prime culprit behind this world’s chaos, a mere lapdog of Pan-Universe Entertainment…”

“Believe it or not, it’s up to you, but most likely, you won’t live to see the outcome,” Duge sighed, speeding up the process of stripping away Xianyou True Monarch’s vital essence.

Indeed, he did not know what the Immortal Emperor and Daoist Ancestor were really planning. In this world, Duge only believed in himself.

Therefore, he used Contain the Heavenly Statutes in Mouth to weaken the likes of the Daoist Ancestor, ensuring his own safety as much as possible.

Only he knew what would happen to this world once the Alien Warriors departed.

If he had the chance to break away from the control of Pan-Universe Entertainment in this world, then without more top-tier warriors as allies, could he alone confront Pan-Universe Entertainment?

Thus, Duge preferred to believe that the Daoist Ancestor and the Immortal Emperor were also scheming, even if they were not, he was prepared to use Contain the Heavenly Statutes in Mouth to force them onto this path in the future…
