Beginning Of Multiverse Saga-Chapter 428: Resentment?

In the past, his thoughts wouldn’t have gone in that direction. However, after arriving in this world, too many things he once thought were just fake stories had appeared in the real world. This world seemed to be linked to Marvelous Multiverse Earth in countless ways.

Suddenly, a voice in his mind exclaimed in surprise, "Why is there such a powerful aura of spear ki here?"

When they passed the sword testing stone, their expressions changed. The path along the way had been lush and verdant, lined abundantly with flowers and plants. Now, however, what stretched out before them looked like an entirely different world. It was completely bleak and desolate, making it seem like a land of death. There were even wisps of black energy hanging in the air.

"Could all of this have also been created by the spear ki and killing intent on the mountain?" the Golden Crow Crown Prince speculated.

The Fiend Emperor shook his head and said, "No, what has gathered here is not spear ki or killing intent, but rather strong... resentment."

"Resentment?" Forget about the Golden Crow Crown Prince, the others were also a bit puzzled. Was the power of resentment really so great?

The Fiend Emperor gave Sharky a look, saying, "Continue leading the way for now."

Sharky had been looking for a chance to break free from his control anyway. When he heard that, he was actually eager to do it. He gave the women a look, then advanced with large steps.

The three women were quick-witted and tried to follow him, saying, "We’ll go with you."

However, the Fiend Emperor stopped them, saying, "You are not allowed to go."

There was nothing the three women could do. They could only look at Sharky worriedly.

Sharky frowned. It seemed he had to look for another opportunity. He began walking about a hundred meters ahead, but suddenly stopped. He sensed that something wasn’t right.

Normally, considering the strength of his body, he was always filled with ki and radiated health. And yet, he actually felt a bit out of breath after walking such a short distance, as if he had carried a bucket of water up many flights of stairs.

"What’s going on?" Sharky was confused, but he didn’t understand. He unwittingly took another few dozen steps.

He suddenly couldn’t help but stagger as a wave of weakness swept over him. He almost fell to the ground, and began to feel a bit muddle-headed.

He suddenly felt that his arms and legs were a bit itchy. When he subconsciously reached out to scratch them, he discovered that some black scales had appeared around his wrist.

He quickly checked his ankles, and they were the same. He was horrified, exclaiming, "What in the world?!"

But soon he understood that some kind of course or resentment had seeped into his body. This resentment around him is extremely strange; it can affect the bodies and souls of the cultivators within it. If he doesn’t do something, these scales will continue to grow.

Sure enough, Sharky saw that the scales around his wrist were spreading to his elbow. If these scales reach his head, he’ll completely lose his consciousness and become a monster from head to toe.

Sharky was speechless.

But soon he calmed down, because once upon a time, he had started transforming into a wolf.

But later, the wolf became his collection. So, he wasn’t worried about this. And about death, it doesn’t matter to him.

When he looked at the scales on his wrist, he felt as if he were looking at the barnacles on the bodies of whales and sea turtles; they were absolutely disgusting.

Suddenly, he cried out miserably and fell to the ground.

"Sharky!" Alina quickly rushed forward when she saw that. Charlotte and Diana also followed her.

This time, the Fiend Emperor didn’t stop them. He could tell that there was something wrong with the resentment and didn’t mind having a few more people test it out.

Charlotte and Diana immediately sensed that something wasn’t right when they entered the region. However, they were too worried about Sharky to give into their reservations.

Alina arrived at Sharky’s side and rested his body against hers, asking, "Sharky, what’s wrong?"

"Don’t come in here... There’s poison," Sharky said weakly.

Charlotte and Diana staggered and almost fell as well. Their bodies weren’t as tough as Sharky’s, their resistance had become weaker than usual.

"What is this?" The two women cried out in alarm with trembling voices. They noticed what was happening to their wrists and frantically rubbed the scales to try to get rid of them. They were still women, after all. How could they stand having that kind of stuff on them?

Alina asked in surprise, "What happened to you two?"

Charlotte and Diana were also confused. Alina’s cultivation was even weaker than theirs, so how was she fine?

Sharky quickly checked Alina’s wrist. He saw that even though there were some faint black marks on her, there weren’t any black scales growing. He thought, Does this have something to do with the Medusa’s bloodline?

However, there was no time to think about that, so he shot her a meaningful glance. The two of them had already spent a long time around each other, so Alina knew what he was thinking. With a cry, she copied the others and pretended to faint.

"What is going on?" the Fiend Emperor called out.

Sharky explained, "The resentment is too strong. If a person enters this region, it seems to strip them of their life force, and scales begin to grow on their body. Their consciousness grows weak too. We can’t stay here! We have to go back..."

"Continue forward!" the Fiend Emperor said coldly. He was alarmed when he heard that the resentment drained life force. After all, he didn’t have much of his lifespan left. Every bit he lost would hurt him tremendously.

"Are you trying to kill me?!" Sharky exclaimed, pretending to be furious. In response, the Fiend Emperor didn’t say anything and just activated the Puppet Curse.

Sharky felt as if the Golden Crow eyes in his mind had suddenly opened. Then, they released an irresistible will that couldn’t be guarded against at all.

This Puppet Curse is actually so terrifying?! Sharky thought. He felt as if he had lost control of his entire body. He automatically walked forward. Although he can solve it, he doesn’t want to show it in front of the Fiend Emperor.

The Golden Crow Crown Prince was delighted to see that. He had never liked how smug Sharky always was. Unfortunately, his father had always protected Sharky before. Now, he could finally watch his enemy die.

However, Alina and the other women also chased after Sharky in shock. The crown prince began to panic when he saw that, asking, "Father emperor, how about we let them come back?"

Those were top-tier beauties! If they perished along with Sharky, that would just be too much of a waste.

The Fiend Emperor said indifferently, "We do not know what the situation is like up ahead, so we just happen to need more people to look around. They all have different kinds of constitutions, so it should serve as a perfect comparison."

He didn’t dare to carry a shred of carelessness now that the situation was related to his life. Even though it was a bit of a pity to lose several incredible talents, compared to his life, they weren’t worth much at all.

Wendy shuddered in fear when he heard their conversation. He felt a pang of sympathy as he watched Sharky’s party head deep into the black smoke.

The women then picked up Sharky and stuck together. Sharky took the chance to give them a few looks. Then, he quickly drew on their hands, telling them that they should take the chance to leave the area.

Charlotte looked at him with her beautiful eyes, as if she could speak through them. She communicated, "What about your Puppet Curse?" 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

"I have a way, but I have to leave the Fiend Emperor’s range of control first," Sharky quickly wrote on her fair, small, jade-like hand. However, his wrist was already covered in a ring of glaring black scales.

Charlotte had clearly noticed that as well. She instinctively wanted to pull her hand back, but Sharky grabbed it firmly. She knew that the Fiend Emperor was staring at them. If they moved too quickly, he would easily notice that something was off. She could only pull down her sleeves a bit to cover her wrist.

Diana rolled her eyes. Do they not understand the situation they’re in right now? And yet they’re still flirting over there. She shot Charlotte a look. This woman wasn’t someone who normally cared that much about her appearance...

Still, they were facing a disaster, so none of them thought too much of it.

The other three felt their bodies grow heavier and heavier. Their minds were starting to falter, too. They couldn’t help but look toward Alina, asking, "How are you still fine?"

Apart from there being some black energy around her wrist, there wasn’t anything wrong with her at all. On the surface, they were supporting each other, but in reality, she was the one carrying the most weight and supporting the others.

Alina shook her head. She clearly didn’t know what was happening either. They weren’t in any state to figure it out right on the spot either. Their only thought was to leave the region as quickly as possible.

"It should be safe once we reach the mountaintop," Sharky quickly wrote.

"How do you know?" Diana replied, looking at him in confusion.

"I don’t have time to explain. Let’s hurry," Sharky said. He couldn’t just say that it was according to some myth.

Suddenly, he felt a sense of danger. He quickly sent a palm strike to one side. As a black creature leaped out, Sharky’s palm slammed into its head. The black creature became indistinct for a moment. However, the surrounding black energy entered its body and it returned to normal. It bared its fangs viciously.

In the distance, Wendy cried out, "What kind of monster is that?!"

Black energy emanated from the monster’s entire body. It was neither a human or a dog, but resembled both in some ways. Its entire body was covered in scales. The long tail behind it also made it resemble a lizard.

"Is that a person who lost himself in the mist before?" the Golden Crow Crown Prince exclaimed, suddenly feeling a bit frightened. He had seen similar scales grow on Sharky’s arm before. The only pity was that the three beauties were going to become that kind of monster too.

"That creature is in a semi-tangible form. It seems to be something created out of resentment," the Fiend Emperor explained, his expression turning grave. After all, he had never seen that kind of creature before either. After growing old, one would subconsciously become increasingly less fond of the unknown.

Sharky and the others attacked. They were being corroded by the strange resentment, so they didn’t dare to waste a moment.

Even though the monster was strange, how could it withstand the joint attacks of several powerful cultivators? It screamed, then completely scattered into black energy.

"This thing doesn’t seem as if it can die. From the looks of it, it’ll probably revive after some time," Diana said, looking at the black energy that was all around them and recalled how the black smoke had entered its body.

"I’m not scared of more of them coming, I’m actually scared that there’s not enough of them," Sharky sneered. He used the Lion’s Roar skill, releasing a great roar. His bold and powerful voice reverberated through the entire valley. Rustling trees and trembling ground followed in its wake.

"What are you doing?!" the Fiend Emperor exclaimed, his expression changing. He hadn’t expected Sharky to make such a choice. He immediately ordered, "Shut your mouth!"

Sharky was affected by the Puppet Curse and had no choice but to close his mouth. However, he had already achieved his objective. Countless specks of red light appeared in the distance. They were the eyes of creatures similar to the monster he had just faced. They had clearly been alerted by his roar.

The red eyes surrounded them from all directions. A great pressure immediately filled the place.

Even Diana, with her dauntless nature, was starting to feel scared. In their current state, they wouldn’t necessarily be able to deal with so many monsters. There seemed to be no end to the monsters, and they were being corroded by the resentment present. As time went on, they wouldn’t be able to withstand it!
