Beginning Of Multiverse Saga-Chapter 433: Three Years Extended

The Fiend Emperor was shocked to see what was going on. He immediately activated the Puppet Curse to try to keep Sharky in place.

The Golden Crow eyes opened in Sharky’s mind. However, a Golden Phoenix appeared, and its light made the Fiend Emperor close his eyes.

The Fiend Emperor was stunned. There was actually someone who could stop his Puppet Curse! What was the Golden Phoenix? Even though her aura didn’t seem that strong, he could sense a deep and profound feeling from her.

However, he was still the Fiend Emperor. He quickly realized that the Golden Phoenix’s technique only temporarily screened off his Puppet Curse, but couldn’t truly get rid of it.

She had probably achieved that by borrowing the chaotic laws of the world. Once they returned to the normal world, she wouldn’t be able to stop him.

Even so, he felt a bit regretful. He had still underestimated Sharky after all. He wouldn’t give him any more chances the next time they met.

Vritra’s entire body turned into black mist, and it fled into the distance while the Fiend Emperor was distracted.

The Fiend Emperor didn’t chase after it. The monster was strong, and the overflowing resentment all around it was too difficult to deal with.

If he really wanted to kill it, there was a good chance that he himself would lose some of his life force. That was something he absolutely couldn’t tolerate.

"Father emperor’s cultivation is unrivaled as expected, undefeated throughout the world..." the Golden Crow Crown Prince said, showering him with praises.

Half of it was just flattery, while the other half was sincere. Even such a terrifying monster had been defeated!

Wendy also flattered the Fiend Emperor like crazy; his choice of words was on a whole new level of flowery and colorful language. Even the Golden Crow Crown Prince’s eyes widened in disbelief.

"Alright, that’s enough bootlicking," the Fiend Emperor said. He just wasn’t in the mood. With a brush of his sleeves, he brought the two of them to the mountaintop.

"This is a spiritual spring!" Wendy exclaimed. They had been able to feel the ki overflowing from the spring even from far away.

Furthermore, it completely swept away the effects of the resentment from before. Wendy even began to drool.

However, the Fiend Emperor gave him a cold look. Wendy immediately said, "Your majesty Fiend Emperor, please enjoy yourself. This humble one will stand watch outside."

Inwardly, he cursed, knowing that there was no way any of it would be shared with him.

When he looked at the spring water, the Fiend Emperor’s expression became somewhat zealous because he could sense a rich life force emanating from it.

That was what he needed the most at the moment. As such, he opened his mouth for the very first time, sucking some of the water directly into his mouth.

He had just fought a great battle against the Vritra, and had some black energy around him; that energy immediately dimmed, then completely disappeared soon afterward.

He roared with laughter, exclaiming, "It can actually replenish life force! It has prolonged my life by three years at the least, haha! This trip has not been made in vain!"

But he quickly frowned and exclaimed, "Huh? Why does it smell like urine?"

Meanwhile, when he heard that the spring had prolonged the Fiend Emperor’s lifespan by at least three years, the crown prince immediately felt his heart turn cold.

After all, he had already waited for so many years! His father had already been about to die, and the position of Fiend Emperor would have been passed to him in a few days.

And yet now, he had learned that everything would be delayed by three years, or maybe even more! How could he possibly stand it?

However, there was nothing he could do about it. After all, the entire country belonged to his father, and there was too great of a difference in their cultivation. Even if he hated the situation, it wasn’t as if he could try to steal the position.

He could only console himself, thinking, Three years isn’t that bad. It’s not too long. For cultivators in particular, it could just be a single instance of secluded cultivation.

Just then, the Fiend Emperor asked him a question, so he replied, "Your son will give it a taste too."

If his father had gotten three more years added to his lifespan, he had to at least get three years himself too. When he saw that his father didn’t stop him, he carefully kneeled down by the spring and took a sip.

His eyes immediately widened, because the richness of the ki filled his entire body with a comfortable feeling. Additionally, the abundant life force made him feel as if he had gained much more than just three years.

I’ve hit the freaking jackpot!

However, the taste was indeed a bit weird. He remarked, "It really does seem to have a bit of a urine-like smell. Maybe this is the natural taste of this kind of rare spiritual spring."

The Fiend Emperor nodded and said, "That is probably the case." 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

The Golden Crow Crown Prince said, "Father emperor, since this spring can prolong your life, then please drink a bit more."

The Fiend Emperor was a bit touched. However, he replied, "What a rare instance of filial piety. However, there is no need. The effects of this kind of substance are limited, and the higher one’s cultivation rank, the more diminished the effects become."

"The fact that I was able to acquire three more years already leaves me satisfied enough. It is useless for me to drink anymore. Instead, you are the one who should drink more, as it will be of greater help to you."

"Father..." The Golden Crow Crown Prince pretended to look really moved, but he sneered inwardly. He wasn’t that ignorant. He knew that was just how it worked. Otherwise, he would be mad to ask for some of it.

Then, he ’gratefully’ took a few large gulps. A spiritual spring really was a spiritual spring. Even though it had a bit of a urine-like smell, there was still a slightly sweet aftertaste.

Wendy couldn’t help but swallow when he saw the crown prince’s intoxicated appearance. However, he knew that a captive like him definitely didn’t have the right to enjoy such a thing.

"For some reason, this spiritual spring gives me a sense of imperfection," the Fiend Emperor said with a frown, "It seems to be lacking half of its contents, so its effects have been greatly reduced."

The Golden Crow Crown Prince immediately spat, "It must be that Sharky bastard who stole half of the spring! That brat really is evil. We should have killed him a long time ago!"

Even though he was saying it as if he were utterly furious, he was actually a bit grateful to Sharky. It was a good thing that Sharky had stolen half; otherwise, it might have taken even longer before he would succeed the throne.

The Fiend Emperor waved his hand, and a palm projection emerged to grab all of the spring water. That way, he would be able to pursue the fleeing Sharky.

Wendy was completely dumbstruck. The skills of an earth immortal really were inconceivable. Sharky and the others were definitely in for some trouble now!

Just then, the Fiend Emperor frowned. Then, he waved his hand a few more times. In the end, he pulled his hand back with an overcast expression.

"Father emperor, what’s wrong?" the Golden Crow Crown Prince asked urgently. He really was worried this time.

The Fiend Emperor said while glowering, "This spring does not look large, but it is endlessly deep. They have escaped."

The Golden Crow Crown Prince said, "Father emperor, do not worry; they will not be able to escape in the end. The spiritual spring water they took with them was definitely stored well too. As long as you capture them, you can get all of it back."

Inwardly, however, he was praying really hard that the little bastard Sharky wouldn’t be caught.

The Fiend Emperor was quite pleased. He felt that his son was becoming more and more reliable. He waved his hand and sucked the spring water into his sleeves, storing it through some unknown means. He then said, "Let us go."

When he finished collecting the water, he turned around and descended the mountain. With the spiritual spring’s help, he didn’t have to be as scared as before.

The Golden Crow Crown Prince was stunned, asking, "Are we not going to chase after them underwater?"

He regretted it as soon as he said that. Why do I have to always run my mouth off? If father really captures Sharky, I’ll be screwed!

The Fiend Emperor shook his head and said, "It is too large and seems to be connected to an ocean. Even if we look for him, we would not know where to begin. Furthermore, we Golden Crows are of the fire attribute and would be easily countered underwater." Even though he could go underwater, he had a natural dislike for the water.

"Father is wise and brilliant!" the Golden Crow Crown Prince replied, immediately showering his father in praise. He asked, "Then where should we go now?"

The Fiend Emperor had just had his life prolonged, so his mood was quite good. He patiently answered, "I sensed a familiar power in the distance. We should go and take a look over there."

In the corner, Wendy looked around. A familiar power? What does that mean?

"Hurry up," the Golden Crow Crown Prince said, giving Wendy a kick on the bottom. His father had suddenly gotten a few extra years for no reason at all, so he could only vent out his bad mood on the fatty.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Wendy exclaimed, continuing to bow his head.

While the Fiend Emperor’s group disappeared into the distance, Sharky’s group continued to swim forward inside a water bubble. After breaking free from the Suparnagiri Mountain range, they seemed to have entered a vast ocean region, where Sharky had used his Ice Phoenix ability to create the bubble.

As his cultivation grew, the bubbles he could create became much bigger too. That was why they weren’t as cramped together as they had been before.

The women were all sitting off to the side, as if they didn’t want to get even a bit closer to him. They all stared at him.

Sharky asked, sounding distressed, "Why are you guys looking at me like that...?"

"You still have the nerve to ask that?" Alina scolded him. "Leaving is leaving, so why did you have to... Have to..."

Sharky’s expression turned serious as he replied, "You all peeped at me, didn’t you?"

Diana harrumphed. "Hmph, who wants to look at your thing? Still, you’re just too much of a scoundrel! You actually dared to act like that in front of us? If it were anyone else, I would have already cut it off."

"I clearly had my back to you guys," Sharky complained. "That Fiend Emperor made us go through so much, I have to get back at him somehow."

Charlotte’s face reddened. She said, "If he found out that he drank your... He would probably cut your corpse into ten thousand pieces." With her understanding of the Fiend Emperor, there was no way he could refuse spring water infused with such a rich life force.

Sharky was about to say something when his expression suddenly changed. He said, "Be careful. There’s a monster approaching."

Diana shot him a look and retorted, "Brat, was scaring us once not enough?"

Sharky didn’t have enough time to explain. He rushed over and pulled the women behind him. At the same time, a large, bloody mouth bit down on where they had been.
