Chapter 3181 - Helpless
Chapter 3181: Helpless
“Overarching Heaven is correct. Since the energy of the brush bears great resemblance to the book, it must be a treasure of the same level. If we possess the brush, we’ll be able to contend against the book,” the Bloodtear Grand Exalt added before immediately turning into a sea of blood and enveloping the entire Lightning God clan.
The Anatta Grand Exalt, the Overarching Heaven Grand Exalt, and the Grand Exalt of Ancient Paths all stayed put, paying close attention to what the Bloodtear Grand Exalt was doing.
As sovereigns of the world, they all understood what the Bloodtear Grand Exalt was attempting to do. He was clearly trying to peer into the past through his great abilities. He wanted to capture the expert of the Immortals’ World’s presence from the past or find other information.
They could use that as a medium to find this person.
They were all Grand Exalts. They could scan an entire world with just a thought. As long as they were willing, very few matters in the world could be hidden from them. They could even connect with the world and surpass the obfuscation of time, allowing them to peer into the deepest secrets that the universe had to offer.
However, the person they were trying to find was still a Ninth Heavenly Layer Grand Prime after all. Someone like that was not a sovereign, but they were only a step away from becoming one.
As a result, as long as she concealed herself at full strength, even sovereigns that had become embodiments of the heavenly ways would struggle to find her.
But very soon, the Bloodtear Grand Exalt was dumbfounded. He said in exasperation, “Dammit, all the traces have been erased perfectly. The space and time here is like a blank piece of paper. There’s nothing at all.”
The sea of blood surged. The Bloodtear Grand Exalt gave up on this useless attempt and withdrew all of his power.
Afterwards, the Overarching Heaven Grand Exalt, the Grand Exalt of Ancient Paths, and the Anatta Grand Exalt all made attempts too. They unleashed their various abilities and exceptional techniques to search for even the slightest bit of information or trace left in this place.
However, all of them failed and found nothing. Just as the Bloodtear Grand Exalt had said, all the traces in the Lightning God clan had been erased perfectly. It was like a piece of blank paper. Nothing remained at all.
Soon afterwards, the sovereigns made several more attempts. They began to expand their search area from the Lightning God clan, hoping to find something when the experts of the Immortals’ World arrived there or departed there.
However, they still found nothing.
“That brush has hidden everything. Not only are there no traces in space and time, but there aren’t even any traces in the three thousand ways. It is as if… as if it doesn’t exist in this world at all, as if it’s beyond this world.” The Grand Exalt of Ancient Paths became extremely stern. He said, “This is an extremely terrifying matter. When that person from the Immortals’ World wields the brush, we can’t find any of her traces, yet she can move through our Saints’ World freely. Coupled with how the brush can hide her, she’s completely capable of eradicating all the archaean clans in our Saints’ World without causing the slightest disturbance.”
When he heard that, the East Origination Saint Monarch became filled with a sense of powerlessness. “She does indeed have the strength to do that. Without the brush, none of the eight Saint Monarchs of the Saints’ World are any weaker than her, but when she does have the brush in hand, none of the eight archaean clans are her opponent. We stand no chance even if we unleash our trump cards.”
The four sovereigns all remained silent. Their hearts weighed heavily. This news was basically like a nightmare to the Saints’ World.
A person from the Immortals’ World had infiltrated the Saints’ World silently, constantly threatening the archaean clans, yet they were unable to find her. That was far too terrifying.
All of the archaean clans were important foundations of the world. They could not afford to lose any of them.
“However, there is one piece of good news. The person who wields the brush has already fallen out with a sovereign of the Immortals’ World. A sovereign of the Immortals’ World wants her dead,” the East Origination Saint Monarch said, following up.
The Grand Exalt of Ancient Paths let out a great sigh. “Looks like we need to keep an eye out for the entire Saints’ World at all times, particularly with the remaining archaean clans. We can’t let them be destroyed silently like the Lightning God clan.”
“It’s not just the archaean clans. We need to watch all the peak sects of the Saints’ World too. Sigh, since we can’t locate the person from the Immortals’ World, we’re forced into assuming a defensive position.”
“Leave this matter to me.” The Overarching Heaven Grand Exalt sighed inside. He felt quite powerless about this. What could he do about the fact that he possessed the least amount of seniority? As a result, he was forced to handle this troublesome task.
“You need to forge that supreme treasure of yours as quickly as possible, Ancient Paths. As for the materials required, we’ll gather them even if it takes the strength of the entire Saints’ World. The weapon might be the only object that stands a chance against the book and the brush,” the Anatta Grand Exalt said slowly.
The Immortals’ World had gained two powerful treasures all of a sudden, which left the Grand Exalts of the Saints’ World heavy-hearted.
Shortly afterwards, the four sovereigns vanished. However, the Overarching Heaven Grand Exalt also welcomed the most difficult period of his life since he became a sovereign. He had to watch the Saints’ World at all times, secretly protecting all the peak organisations of the Saints’ World.
The Grand Exalts obviously would not interfere with individual conflicts between native organisations. Instead, they would allow it to unfold freely. Their primary objective was to stop the expert from the Immortals’ World from taking out all the peak organisations of the Saints’ World in one fell stroke under their nose with the brush.
The Saints’ World could not afford a loss like that!
They definitely could not allow that to happen either!
The Anatta Grand Exalt and the Bloodtear Grand Exalt did not idle around either. They sealed off the Saints’ World in an attempt to keep the Dominion’s Brush in the Saints’ World forever.
They restricted the spread of the news that the Lightning God clan had been destroyed to prevent panic among the many organisations of the Saints’ World. Only the seven remaining archaean clans found out about it.
Immediately, the seven archaean clans behaved like they were about to face a powerful enemy.
In short, none of the peak forces of the Saints’ World had any peace. The seven archaean clans were all tense. Even the four sovereigns became busy.
The instigator of all of this, Fang Jing, sat on a huge rock dispiritedly. She was surrounded by a vast ocean. The turbulent waves slammed against the rock, producing waves several dozen metres tall.
Fang Jing hugged her knees and sat on the rock, gazing at the turbulent ocean in a daze with her empty, dim eyes. They were filled with confusion.
The waves slammed against her body again again, but she did nothing at all. She was completely soaked in the icy-cold sea water. Her dark hair constantly dripped with water. Her delicate body was completely outlined through her clothes.
“Why… why is this happening… I know that countless experts covet the Dominion’s Brush in the Immortals’ World. I’m also aware that countless people want to kill me for the Dominion’s Brush in the Immortals’ World.…”
“But why, why did you have to be the one behind this… You’ve always been the senior I’ve respected the most, as well as the person I’ve trusted the most, yet why… why are you trying to kill me?”
“With the Dominion’s Brush, I can stop myself from being detected by anyone. Neither the sovereigns of the Saints’ World or the Immortals’ World can find me, apart from you…”
“The portrait you gave me in the past possessed your will. You said it would serve as a protective amulet as a final line of defence. Out of my trust for you, I’ve always carried that portrait with me, cherishing it as treasure.”
“Yet I never thought you would use the portrait to locate me and set up an ambush to kill me…”
Fang Jing was completely dejected as she murmured away mindlessly, filled with deep sorrow, “You’re after my Dominion’s Brush. For the sake of my brush, you’re even willing to go as far as to kill me…”
Reaching there, Fang Jing forced out a smile. It seemed slightly miserable yet slightly twisted at the same time. “Hahaha, except you didn’t get what you wanted in the end. You probably never expected me to toss away the Dominion’s Brush in the final moments, such that it was hidden in the chaotic space the entire time. You never managed to find the brush in the very end…”
