Beginning Of Multiverse Saga-Chapter 419: Ambush Golden Crow Crown Prince

Just then, the assassin who had been rammed by the golden war chariot struggled into a seated position by leaning on a pillar. However, the other guards quickly rushed over and aimed their weapons at his neck. They also sealed all of his acupoints so he couldn’t move at all.

The assassin knew he couldn’t escape, so he didn’t vainly try to resist. Instead, he stared at the Golden Crow Crown Prince and asked, "Did you not enter the trial just now?"

"Of course not," the Golden Crow Crown Prince said proudly. "If I had done that, how would I have made you two take the bait?"

"You knew we were going to do something from the start?" the assassin replied, looking regretful. If the assassins had known things would turn out that way, they would have waited a bit longer and made their move when the crown prince completely entered the trial.

However, neither of them had known too much about what the previous Fiend Emperors’ trial was really like. They had been worried that such a trial would end quickly.

After all, the flow of time in a secret dungeon was different from the real world. Oftentimes, one would spend a long time in a sea of consciousness, but in reality, only an instant would pass.

They had thought they couldn’t afford to take that risk. If they had waited until Golden Crow Crown Prince passed the trial, it would all be too late.

"No," the Golden Crow Crown Prince said. "I suspected that there were definitely spies planted around me, though. I just did not know who. Furthermore, just now would have been the best opportunity, so that was why I threw out the bait. Sure enough, you two made your move."

He looked at the assassin coldly, asking, "Why did you betray me? Did this crown prince treat you unfairly somehow?"

"You did not. The crown prince has treated us extremely well, but we already had our own masters. We did not have the freedom to act," the assassin replied. He sighed, his tone full of deep helplessness.

After all, he was still a master rank cultivator; furthermore, he was not an ordinary deathsworn assassin. He could have been set with amazing prospects, but unfortunately, he had gotten caught up in the struggle for imperial power. He couldn’t decide his own fate at all.

Even master rank cultivators had their own families and people they cared about. That also meant they had weaknesses that could be exploited, making them easy to control by others.

"Another master?"The Golden Crow Crown Prince sneered. He looked down on the two of them from above, asking, "Who sent you two? If you tell me honestly, I might even let you two live."

The assassin revealed a pained smile and said, "Since we chose to become assassins, then we have already prepared ourselves for death. If we speak, we will only end up wishing we were dead instead."

As soon as he finished speaking, a strand of black blood began to trickle down from the corner of his mouth. Something similar also happened to the other assassin. The two took their last breaths soon after. The other guards were horrified and they quickly examined the assassins’ mouths.

The Golden Crow Crown Prince erupted into a rage. "Do you not know how to do your jobs at all?! How could you let them have the chance to end their own lives?"

Many assassins kept poison between their teeth. If they failed, they would break open the poison and end their own lives to avoid confessions under torture.

The guards quickly explained, "Replying to the crown prince. That is not the case; they already took poison beforehand. Only now did the poison act."

Sharky and the others were shocked. To make two master rank cultivators take poison before carrying out a suicide mission... The mastermind behind the scenes really had invested quite a bit!

The Golden Crow Crown Prince’s face darkened as he said, "As expected, they really did plan things carefully."

He stared at the two corpses and continued, "Even if you do not speak, I can make my guesses. Those fire-resistant pendants were made specially to deal with me, so it had to be someone with a thorough understanding of the Golden Crow Sacred Fire. In the end, only that good little brother of mine would have the ability and motive to accomplish this, right?"

Sharky almost began to feel admiration. The Second Imperial Prince really had gone through a lot of trouble. The people that the Golden Crow Crown Prince would bring with him to such a place were definitely his greatest trusted aides.

They had been placed at his side who knew how many years ago, and had to slowly climb to their positions. The most important part, however, was that even if their assassination failed, there would be no proof left over. The second prince could just say he knew nothing about it later.

The Golden Crow Crown Prince suddenly laughed, remarking, "That good little brother of mine really is formidable. What a pity that in the end, it was all futile."

The other guards all kneeled down and called out, "The crown prince is blessed by the mandate of heaven! Long live the emperor! Long live, long live, long long live!"

The Golden Crow Crown Prince enjoyed their cheers greatly. When they finished, he then said hypocritically, "Lower your voices; even though I will become the Fiend Emperor soon, I have not officially risen to the throne yet. Father emperor might feel too sensitive if he overhears this."

"This birdman isn’t as stupid as I thought," Diana said with a sneer.

Alina also said with a sigh, "He was the publicly acknowledged number one among the fiend races’ younger generation to begin with. Only recently was he defeated by Sharky."

Just then, some more things happened on the other side. The Golden Crow Crown Prince ordered the others to carefully store the two corpses.

Furthermore, he had them form groups of three so they could monitor and keep each other in check, in order to prevent the previous events from happening again.

Even though they were all the most loyal people he had carefully selected and the chance of another rebellion happening was extremely low, he still had to take precautionary measures.

Then, the Golden Crow Crown Prince officially began the ritual. The Fiend Ancestor statue flickered with radiance. It had been entirely black at first, but the black began to be shot through with gold.

Then, the Fiend Ancestor statue’s eyes suddenly opened. Two beams of golden light fired out, enveloping the Golden Crow Crown Prince within them.

The other guards staggered backward in alarm from the terrifying pressure that erupted at that moment. Their entire bodies trembled.

"This Fiend Ancestor’s strength might have far surpassed the current Fiend Emperor," Charlotte and Diana remarked.

"It was the perfect time to beat the Crown Prince, we need to seize the moment, or else if he finishes the trial and receives the Fiend Ancestor’s acknowledgment, his strength will rise tremendously!" Sharky said, since he was also waiting for this moment.

"Yes, since he is undergoing a trial by fire in his mind, but it isn’t happening to his flesh. The flow of time is different, so we must do it quickly!" Alina nodded, she has gotten knowledge about this.

"Then, what are we waiting for," Diana gave a smile.

Before the guards got alert, they started attacking them.

"Who’s there?!" One of the guards shouted, they were shocked by seeing a group of people attacking them.

However, they didn’t even have time to draw their weapons.

They were shocked that the crown prince was undergoing his trial, so the Imperial Tomb had already been sealed off, preventing anyone from entering. The imperial uncle Ferry was even guarding the main entrance. So, how could they appear here?

But the time, while they waste on thinking, Sharky and his group used it on attacking them.

Diana wandered among the enemies like a ghost. Whenever she attacked, it was accompanied by a wave of bitter killing intent. The guards, who thought their cultivations weren’t inferior to hers, began to feel alarmed. Their auras instinctively weakened a bit.

Charlotte didn’t seem to want to be outdone. When she attacked, she conveyed a completely different style; every move was elegant and graceful. She was like a beautifully dancing fairy.

Even though Alina’s cultivation was lower than the others’, she had received the libationer’s inheritance, and she also had the Medusa bloodline’s special skill.

Meanwhile, in front of the Fiend Ancestor statue, the Golden Crow Crown Prince’s body shivered, and his head tilted to the side a bit, as if he were trying to listen. It was clear that he had already noticed the disturbance happening outside, but because he was undergoing the ritual, he couldn’t do anything.

While the Crown Prince couldn’t do anything, Sharky’s group worked together. After a mere incense stick of time, the crown prince’s side was completely wiped out.

"Now, let’s do the last work," Sharky said, since he can’t allow the Golden Crow Crown Prince to finish the trial.

Stopping him from completing the ritual had been one of his objectives from the start. Or else, his plan will be disrupted and maybe, they all also die here.

As such, he rushed at the Golden Crow Crown Prince too.

He took out the Poisonous Prick and used all of his strength to thrust it at the Golden Crow Crown Prince.

However, he encountered the barrier of light. He felt as if the Poisonous Prick had stabbed into a lump of cotton, completely dissipating the attack’s force.

Then, a terrifying ripple emerged from the barrier of light, causing the energy inside him to surge. If not for the fact that his cultivation had already made tremendous progress, and his body had already been tempered repeatedly by primordial ki, he would have been seriously injured.

However, Sharky didn’t relax at all, because the recoil force came in waves. Furthermore, each time, it was a bit stronger than the last. He felt so awful he wanted to vomit blood several times.

However, he had already become angry. His thoughts had become ’Either you die, or I die’. He continued to thrust the Poisonous Prick at the Golden Crow Crown Prince.

The Poisonous Prick excelled at piercing through ki defenses. On top of that, the barrier hadn’t been created by the Fiend Ancestor personally, and Sharky was using all of his strength. As such, the Poisonous Prick moved through the barrier bit by bit, getting closer and closer to the Golden Crow Crown Prince.

Diana, Charlotte, and Alina also rushed over, all using their own powerful skills on the shining barrier. In the end, the barrier could no longer hold on and ruptured loudly.

However, at that very instant, the Golden Crow Crown Prince woke up. He threw powerful punches toward the party.

Boom!

A burst of blinding radiance filled the air as Sharky and the others were blasted back by a tremendous force. The Golden Crow Crown Prince also flew back a good distance, blood seeping out from the corners of his mouth.

Sharky and the others frowned. After all, he had been able to win against the Golden Crow Crown Prince in a one-on-one fight before, and yet now, the crown prince could face all of them by himself with both sides on equal footing. Had he already passed the Fiend Ancestor’s trial?

The Golden Crow Crown Prince’s eyes turned red as he yelled, "Die! All of you deserve to die!"
