Chapter 1299: Can It Go Even Faster_
“Is there something we need to discuss?” Domain Lord Liuli asked, stepping forward.
Everyone’s attention shifted to Domain Lord Liuli again. It seemed the authority to speak rested with her, so they all focused on her once more.
“It’s quite simple: could you lend us a few beads? Our companions can’t endure going any farther like this.” A half-step Heavenly Venerable named God Monarch Si Tian stepped out.
Even though he was half-step Heavenly Venerable, he was still essentially a God Monarch, so his title remained “God Monarch.”
“No. What does that have to do with us? If we didn’t have any beads, would you give yours to us?” Domain Lord Liuli retorted mercilessly. If they were in the same position, would they really hand over any beads? That was impossible, even if one of them died, they wouldn’t give up a single bead. For strangers with no ties to you, why help them? And who knew if, after helping, they might stab you in the back? Such events happened all the time.
Her words left them speechless, not knowing how to respond.
“These items are no use in great quantities, couldn’t you spare a few? We’d compensate you, of course. Consider it a temporary loan, and we can all move on together. Wouldn’t that be wonderful?” God Monarch Si Tian said with a smile.
“Move on together? How amusing. If you want a bead, no problem, as long as you swear to stay with us as a single unit, protect our safety, and absolutely never strike from behind. When it comes to choosing treasures, we get first pick! Swear an oath to these terms, and we’ll give you a bead immediately!” Domain Lord Liuli replied sharply.
Her barrage of conditions dumbfounded God Monarch Si Tian. If he swore to all that, would there be any point in continuing? He’d basically be their bodyguard.
“Er…” He couldn’t possibly agree. He’d only been probing to see if they would trust him.
Clearly, anyone able to reach this level wasn’t a fool. Especially having cultivated to this point, how could they still be naive?
“Nothing to say, right? If you won’t agree, then shut up,” Domain Lord Liuli said coldly.
“Hmph!” God Monarch Si Tian’s expression darkened. Being berated by a woman stirred him to anger inside. Just as he was about to retort, God Monarch Lu Yuan interjected.
“Alright, enough bickering! We’re all here now, so let’s get to the results of our discussion.” He stepped forward as a mediator. “Let’s set aside the matter of distributing beads for the moment and talk about how to use them.”
“We’ve been circling around here for quite some time and found ourselves going in circles. We suspect it’s some high-level illusion, and we can’t get out at all.”
“After a lot of thought, maybe only these beads can guide us. A single bead on its own might not do much. But if we gather all of them, perhaps that will open a path.”
God Monarch Lu Yuan’s analysis was quite logical. Domain Lord Liuli and the others brightened at the idea. Indeed, this could very well be the case. If they didn’t cooperate, the ten beads wouldn’t be in one place; forget about forging a path.
No one could be sure if that would work, but it seemed like the only possibility right now.
Of course, God Monarch Lu Yuan was the type who looked pleasant enough but had secret schemes. One had to be careful or risk being taken advantage of. It was similar to when they opened the gate earlier, he had seemed perfectly upright and harmless, then tried to snatch beads the instant the door opened. But even so, they had no choice but to test this plan; otherwise, they had no clue how to escape.
Another half-step Heavenly Venerable, a silent figure standing off by himself, radiated a cold and somber aura, almost like an ice sculpture in human form. Clearly he cultivated an ice attribute, making him appear frigid and taciturn.
Domain Lord Liuli and Yi Tianyun exchanged glances before nodding in agreement. “Alright then, let’s give it a try.”
So they each produced their beads. Yi Tianyun’s group took out the most, five beads in total, half of the entire set, inciting envy from all around. But no one dared attempt any rash actions; everyone had witnessed Yi Tianyun’s speed, and there was also Domain Lord Liuli at his side, so who would dare provoke them?
Once the beads were out, the others also presented theirs. As soon as all ten beads appeared, they began to resonate with each other, beams of light interlinking them in a luminous web.
“It’s working!”
They were delighted. It seemed their hunch was correct, only by doing this could they reveal some sort of route.
While they quietly celebrated, the ten beads abruptly flew forward, breaking free of their owners’ hands. The orbs then merged again into one massive bead, becoming that Heavenly Venerable Spirit Treasure, the Ten Lives Heavenly Bead!
In that instant, everyone lost their protective shields. They immediately sensed the ripping force of the environment biting into their bodies, but they could still bear it. Without pausing to check themselves, however, they took off in pursuit of the Ten Lives Heavenly Bead.
Once fully combined, the Ten Lives Heavenly Bead sped away at top speed, showing no sign of waiting. It simply flew onward by itself.
Clearly, it was leading them to the next entrance, if they could keep up and not lose sight of it. Otherwise, everything would be for nothing. Not only would the bead be gone, they would remain trapped here.
“Hurry!”
They were so frantic they wished they had extra legs. The Ten Lives Heavenly Bead was shockingly fast, streaking tens of thousands of li in a flash.
Some God Monarchs lacking speed were instantly left behind, further slowed by the ceaseless harassment of Illusory Gold Power. Only four half-step Heavenly Venerables could keep pace, plus Yi Tianyun, who was the lone exception.
“We’re still too slow. Let me take you with me!” Yi Tianyun didn’t wait for Domain Lord Liuli to react. He grabbed her into his arms, and Phoenix Bloodline power exploded from within. A giant Phoenix Phantom Shadow flared behind him.
His speed soared by three hundredfold. Coupled with the Evil Heavenly Monarch Set he wore, it spiked once more.
Whoosh! In an instant, he left three half-step Heavenly Venerables far behind, stunning them.
“Damn it, he can go even faster?!” God Monarch Lu Yuan had already activated his Kunpeng Bloodline power, but Yi Tianyun’s speed surpassed his anyway?
Kunpeng Bloodline was supposed to outstrip Phoenix Bloodline in pure speed, but with a four-hundredfold velocity multiplier, Yi Tianyun’s base might be lower, yet that massive multiplier gave him an overall edge.
Even then, it was only slightly faster, he hadn’t completely outstripped them by a huge margin. Nonetheless, everyone, including Domain Lord Liuli, was utterly shocked!
