Beginning Of Multiverse Saga-Chapter 452: Jarashandha or Karna?

Wendy almost choked on his own saliva. This guy’s shamelessness is almost on my level! He quickly relaxed and gave up on the thought of attacking.

The Golden Crow Crown Prince panicked, exclaiming, "Father emperor, do not listen to what he is saying. That guy is only acting pretentious because he saw that you recovered. We should use this chance to get rid of him together!"

Charlotte and the other women grew vigilant when they heard that, preparing to fight at any moment.

The Golden Crown Crown Prince frowned. How did these women almost completely recover from their previous injuries even though barely any time has passed?

How is this possible?! Could it be that they encountered some kind of miracle?

He looked away from them and toward Sharky, asking, "Just how did you undo the Puppet Curse?"

Sharky said with a smile, "I have my ways." There was a ’do you really think I’ll tell you’ look on his face.

Sure enough, the Fiend Emperor didn’t bother asking him about the curse, remarking, "Brat, to be honest, I admire you quite a bit, especially with what you said just now about being old friends in a foreign land."

"This world is indeed a bit strange. As we come from the same place, there is no need for internal strife. Why don’t we work together to solve the riddles of this world?"

The Golden Crow Crown Prince began to panic. He was about to say something when he was stopped by his father’s gesture.

"That’s exactly what I had in mind," Sharky said without hesitation. At the same time, he gave the three women a look.

They had already fought through dangerous situations together so many times that they could roughly guess what Sharky’s look meant. He was agreeing to work together, but also reminding them to be careful.

Cooperating with the Fiend Emperor was the same as playing with fire. Unfortunately, he had already recovered, so fighting would only result in both sides suffering.

The only thing they were confused about was why the Fiend Emperor would agree. After all, his cultivation was higher than all of theirs, and he even had the Golden Crow Crown Prince to help him.

However, they were also sharp individuals, quickly realizing that the Fiend Emperor had definitely seen them coming and used some secret technique to recover quickly.

Even though such secret methods could heal quickly, they definitely weren’t as reliable as recovering properly. They could even have serious side-effects.

Furthermore, the dungeon was full of dangers. The Fiend Emperor clearly didn’t want to put himself in a worse situation by fighting them, risking his own death in the process.

Sharky’s choice to agree was also understandable. For one thing, they needed the Fiend Emperor’s information.

Furthermore, the Fiend Emperor had just rushed his recovery, so he was at his strongest at the moment.

Defeating him in his current state would definitely come at a severe price. The more time passed, the more his strength would fall.

When they thought through all of those things, Sharky’s party felt more relieved.

Sharky took the chance to ask, "Your majesty, just what kind of place is this?"

Before the Fiend Emperor could even reply, a voice suddenly exclaimed with great emotion. "Haha, the four great seals are about to be opened! I can almost sense my father’s aura already."

Sharky looked in its direction with a frown. He saw that a bluish-white spirit of some sort had emerged from the Fiend Emperor’s body.

He was surprised; it seemed that the Fiend Emperor had really benefited from the trip as well. What was that spirit-like thing?

Apart from that, what were the so-called four great seals the voice had spoken of? And who was his father?

Sharky had too many questions at the moment. However, he quickly noticed that even though the spirit was acting very excited, there was a faint golden light restricting it. It was clearly under the Fiend Emperor’s restrictions.

"Growl..." The Monster lying in the chamber released a long sigh. Then, its limbs slumped as its last breath dissipated. Then, its body began to dissipate in a blast of yellow light.

The Fiend Emperor reached out, and a golden gemstone flew out of the light and entered his hand.

Sharky thought, That spirit mentioned four seals, so has the Fiend Emperor already obtained four of these gemstones?

Why do I feel as if I was working my butt off for a sidequest, while the Fiend Emperor was doing the main questline?

"This is where the Four Perils’ resided. Previously, we dealt with the others perils. According to what this person says, there is an ancient emperor named Karna sealed here," the Fiend Emperor said.

He casually fiddled with Vrishaketu’s soul while looking at Sharky, continuing, "I have already told you so much. As we are working together, you should share a bit about what you have obtained in all this time, no?"

There were many powerful auras on the other side, and he even sensed a power that made him feel fear. It seemed to have something to do with Sharky.

Even though he didn’t think that Sharky’s party could participate in a battle of that level, as long as he had been watching what was happening, Sharky no doubt had some information the Fiend Emperor didn’t.

Sharky was about to reply when the ground suddenly began to crack audibly. Then, it quickly split apart. The floor beneath both parties gave out, and they began to fall.

They were all caught off guard. Despite how powerful the previous battle’s effects had been, the entire mountain had still remained intact. And yet, it was only now that the battle had ended that the ground broke apart?!

Could it be that the death of the monster triggered some kind of mechanism?

That single thought flickered through their minds. Fortunately, their cultivations were all high, so they quickly stabilized themselves and slowly floated down through the air.

They were lucky to find that there wasn’t an endless abyss below; soon afterward, the group arrived on solid ground again.

They discovered that what lay below was another large room, and ahead of them was a gate. The gate was even more ancient and profound than the one above.

Set in its center was a diagram that resembled a star atlas, containing certain special indentations.

The Fiend Emperor gave Sharky a look and said, "You still have not replied to my question."

Sharky and the three women gathered together. He calmly replied, "I found out about the Goldenrain Fruit."

The Fiend Emperor’s side could become hostile if he told them he had the Gandiva Bow now. Comparatively, information about the Goldenrain Fruit was far more suitable.

It would make the Fiend Emperor feel some reservation about killing them.

"The Goldenrain Fruit!" the Fiend Emperor exclaimed, beginning to breathe rapidly. That was what he needed the most right now. He replied, "Not bad. You have the right to work with me now."

A hint of bitterness flickered through the Golden Crow Crown Prince’s mind. If his father became immortal, wouldn’t he become a good-for-nothing crown prince for the rest of his life?

Still, he didn’t dare to show any of that. He could only console himself, thinking that if he could become immortal too, that wouldn’t be too bad.

"Where is the Goldenrain Fruit?" the Fiend Emperor quickly asked.

Sharky chuckled and replied, "Do you think I would just tell you in this situation?"

"Reasonable," the Fiend Emperor said, not feeling offended. He didn’t think Sharky was lying to him. If Sharky and the others didn’t really know, they definitely wouldn’t bring up something like that.

They would work together for the time being to pursue the higher power in this world. Once they left, it wouldn’t be too late to force the information surrounding the immortal medicine out of Sharky then.

There were so many women around Sharky, it meant the Fiend Emperor would have many ways of making him squirm.

Meanwhile, Wendy had already walked up to the gate and began to study it. He caressed the runes on the surface while saying excitedly, "No wonder we couldn’t find any way of getting in from above. It looks as if the gate above was just a fake. This is the real gate!"

The Fiend Emperor kneaded the spirit in his hand, making it deform. He asked, "This is where you said your father Karna was sealed?"

"Yes, yes! I can already sense his aura!" the spirit screamed in pain. It was filled with bitterness inside. Once my dad comes out, all of you are going to be crushed to bits!

On the other hand, Sharky was surprised. Wasn’t it supposed to be Jarashandha? Why was this Karna’s tomb? Could it be that we came to the wrong place this time?

But that shouldn’t be! Earlier, Shun said I had to face Jarashandha!

"Did you not say that once the seals on the Four Perils were undone, your father would reappear? Where is he?" the Fiend Emperor asked, giving the spirit in his hand a cold look, as if he would crush it into nothingness at any moment.

Based on his interrogation of Vrishaketu along the way, he had already learned that Karna was a proper emperor in the past. There would definitely be a lot of treasures buried with him.

More importantly, he longed for the power of that ancient emperor. As long as he could see it for himself, he believed he had a chance to advance a step further.

"This tomb needs to be opened up first. Right, just put those gemstones into the gate over there and it’ll open up," the spirit replied. Its entire ’body’ shook, as if it were scared that it would die before it met its father. That would really be too great a loss then!

The Fiend Emperor raised his head and looked at the special holes. Their shape was a bit familiar. With a wave of his hand, several streaks of light flew out of his sleeves. They were none other than the gemstones he had collected along the way.

The four gemstones, colored red, green, blue, and yellow respectively, filled the holes in the gate. Rings of light flickered across the gate’s surface, and several glowing lines spread across its surface like electrical currents.

The group waited expectantly for the gate to open, but in the end, the light stopped moving. Then, the colors faded, leaving behind only ordinary patterns again.

"Why did this happen?" the Fiend Emperor exclaimed, his expression darkening. He looked at the spirit in his hand with an unkind expression.

"This... This makes no sense! This is the way to open the gate!" the spirit exclaimed in alarm; even his voice was starting to shake.

Wendy suddenly said, "I know! There’s still something missing. There’s a keyhole at the very center, so we’re probably missing that key."

"Key?" the Fiend Emperor repeated with a frown. They hadn’t found any keys along the way. He unwittingly glanced at Sharky’s group. However, Sharky shrugged, as if to say that they hadn’t encountered anything resembling a key either.
