We Agreed to Brag Together, But You Secretly Dominated the World - Chapter 463: Backstabbing

A terrifying Saint King Realm existence.

Such a character was an extremely rare sight for Zhu You. Putting aside that a Saint King Realm cultivator could act freely within this True Immortal Realm formation, at the very least, ordinary trials were simply unable to restrain someone like him.

Having been saved by such an existence, Zhu You did not even know which lifetime’s blessing this was, much less being able to travel alongside one.

“No! Not just a fight.”

At this moment, the imposing figure within the divine chariot suddenly stood up slowly. His eyes were like two fiery torches, brimming with vigor and extremely bright, resembling two blazing suns in the heavens that could pierce through space and time.

He muttered, “This place… There are fluctuations of a quasi-emperor’s aura here. If nothing unexpected happens, the two juniors from the Golden Crow Clan and the White Ape Clan should have already perished… Furthermore, before their demise, some of them had even utilized a Quasi-Emperor Realm weapon!”

“This…” Upon hearing this, Zhu You’s expression changed dramatically as he muttered in disbelief, “That can’t be! If I remember correctly, there were three Great Saint Realm experts among them. How could any ordinary being dare make a move on them… Not to mention, two of them possessed terrifying trump cards. Even…”

Speaking of this, Zhu You suddenly stopped, his expression becoming extremely respectful. He looked up at the majestic figure in the divine chariot and his voice involuntarily lowered a few notches as he respectfully continued, “Even certain ancient existences would be reluctant to provoke them…”

“Hah… That is hard to say! The ancient myriad races were never truly united. Backstabbing each other was commonplace, as evidenced since ancient times. Also… I cannot detect the aura of Chen Su from the White Jade Divine Elephant Clan either. His very existence might be why the two great saints from the Golden Crow Clan and White Ape Clan perished.”

The imposing figure within the carriage snorted. In the depths of his eyes, the horrifying scene of shattering stars manifested. Having lived for so long, he had witnessed far too many schemes and betrayals. Those who could cultivate to such heights were all crafty and farsighted people. The matter of mutual betrayal between them was as common as dirt, and could be seen everywhere.

One mustn’t be fooled by the ancient myriad races proclaiming some so-called “Ancient Pact.” The moment their interests were threatened, they would toss that pact aside without hesitation. This had already been proven since ancient times.

How glorious were the ancient myriad races back then? Yet now, they had been beaten back by mankind, cowering in the Southern Region. If the ancient myriad races had truly stood united in ancient times, the current circumstances would never have unfolded. Ultimately, their internal strife led the ancient myriad races to their current decadence.

In addition, this place was right beside the inheritance grounds of the World-Transcending Sword Master. It was only reasonable for them to turn on one another. That was the inheritance of the World-Transcending Sword Master! Being able to remove one competitor here would increase one’s own chances in the coming struggle. If it were him, he would do the same.

“If 1 remember correctly, there seems to be another Saint King Realm master from the White Ape Clan present. Although he appears to be traveling a different path from us. Should we encounter him again in the future, we can inform him of today’s events.” The imposing figure uttered coldly, his voice echoing eerily through the void.

“Alright, no need to investigate any further. This battlefield has already been cleaned out, so no useful clues remain. We’re only wasting time by lingering here.” The supreme being within the carriage glanced at Zhu You, still surveying their surroundings, before speaking again. As he did so, his gaze settled upon the end of the path ahead.

There, he noticed a faint, obscured aura, though he could not determine which race it belonged to.

Logically, there should have been guardians here to impede their progress. After all, the previous stretch of their journey had proven extremely difficult. Yet now, their path had smoothed considerably without any dangers emerging to bar their way. Such a sudden change was rather suspicious. There could only be one explanation – all obstacles along this path must have already been removed by someone up ahead. That was why they had experienced such smooth traveling thus far.

Now that he had deduced this, the supreme being had no intention of idling here any longer. Every second delayed meant an increasing risk of losing the World-Transcending Sword Master’s inheritance to others. If they gave immediate chase, even if unable to obtain the inheritance themselves, simply locating the one who had would suffice. Given his prowess, slaying the inheritor and seizing the inheritance would pose no difficulty.

At this moment, not only the existence within the chariot but even Zhu You had arrived at the same conclusion. Without another word wasted, the two set off down the path at once. The entire journey passed in silence as they raced relentlessly onward…

Several days later, the divine peak where Su Chen and Ye Ruxue walked was finally emerging into view. Catching sight of it, they exchanged mutual glances, their hearts turning heavy in unison. All along the way, they had seen no trace of anyone else. If things proceeded predictably, whoever walked ahead of them must have already ascended the divine peak by now. Perhaps they were even accepting the inheritance…

Whoosh!

A shock passed through the stalwart figure within the divine chariot. He slowly rose to his feet, then strode forth, his body morphing into a white light that arced skyward. Trailing the jade stone steps, he swiftly pierced through the clouds overhead. By now, relying on the chariot for transport had become unrealistic. Frankly, such divine chariots existed purely as status symbols. But now, with the inheritance of the World-Transcending Sword Master potentially slipping from their grasp at any moment, there was no time for pretentious pageantry.

The best recourse was to head directly to the site and assess the situation personally. Only then could they determine if the World-Transcending Sword Master’s inheritance yet remained or not..
