Beginning Of Multiverse Saga-Chapter 453: Who Is He?

Vrishaketu quickly said, "He’s sealed... sealed inside. He definitely isn’t dead and should know about the undying medicine!"

When he heard Vrishaketu, the Fiend Emperor looked at the rectangular stone altar, seemingly feeling a bit moved.

Sharky quickly stepped forward to stop him, asking, "If there really is an ancient emperor sealed inside, would you be able to win against him if you unseal it?"

What if something terrifying came out and killed everyone?

The Fiend Emperor hesitated a bit too. He was seriously injured from fighting against the Four Perils several times. Even though he had recovered through the Golden Crow Sacred Fire, he was close to his limit. He was no longer in his best condition.

However, his longing for eternal life made him harden his resolve. He replied, "Don’t I still have you here?"

Sharky was speechless.

The Golden Crow Crown Prince was furious. My father is actually treating this guy as someone on the same level?!

Sharky thought, Am I really that amazing, for you to actually be treating me with that much respect?

Of course, he knew what the Fiend Emperor was really implying. At this point, they were all in the same boat. If something strong appeared, Sharky’s group couldn’t rely on the Fiend Emperor alone.

They had to help out too. After all, there were two grandmasters on his side and a Medusa. Between that and Sharky’s unusual strength, they were naturally a force to be reckoned with.

The Fiend Emperor didn’t wait for him to reply. He tossed a skull into Wendy’s hands, saying, "Here, open up that sarcophagus in the center."

The skull was made of some crystalline material; its surface was sparkling and translucent, emanating a special kind of radiance. It was something the Fiend Emperor’s group had obtained along the way.

He had noticed that there were special grooves on the stone altar that matched this skull, which was why he told Wendy to test things out.

Wendy cursed inwardly. Wasn’t this Sharky’s job before?

Even though that was what he thought, he didn’t dare to go against the Fiend Emperor’s orders. Otherwise, he could end up having a Puppet Curse placed on him too.

Later, I really have to ask Sharky how he managed to get rid of that Puppet Curse... he thought as he cautiously approached the stone altar.

He carefully observed the runes and formations around him. When he was sure that there were no lethal mechanisms present, he then slowly placed the skull into the recess.

Sharky frowned as he watched the whole process. Karna was a glorious emperor in his own right, and he should have been considered a proper hero. Why was something sinister like a skull needed to activate this place?

Still, that crystal skull does look pretty nice...

Suddenly, a crack rang out through the air, as the crystal skull fit seamlessly into the groove. Then, as if it had been sucked in by some force, it sank downward.

Sharky saw that Wendy still hadn’t let go of the skull. He couldn’t hold back, remarking, "Damn fatty, you still aren’t letting go?"

The Fiend Emperor and Golden Crow Crown Prince watched Wendy vigilantly. They thought, Could it be that this fatty noticed something and wants to be the first to have access to the immortal opportunity?

Wendy cried out, his voice shaking a bit, "I want to let go too, but it keeps holding onto me and won’t allow me to let go!"

While he was speaking, the skull emerged from the stone altar again. With their keen eyes, the others saw that Wendy’s hands seemed to be stuck to the skull’s surface by some kind of indescribable power. It didn’t let him go no matter what he did.

Suddenly, the skeleton’s eyes glowed with red light, and a sinister, ice-cold aura appeared out of thin air! The Fiend Emperor’s expression changed, and he quickly took a step back.

Sharky and the others felt ice-cold intent flow over their bodies. It wasn’t the sort of chill that came from Charlotte’s Snowflake Sword; rather, it was a kind of sinister aura that made them freeze up uncontrollably. Their expressions changed, and they also quickly backed up.

Wendy, who was closest to the altar, became even more frightened. He screamed, "Your majesty Fiend Emperor, save me! Please save me!"

The Fiend Emperor frowned, clearly having no intention to interfere. It was almost as if he had already planned to use Wendy to test the waters.

Sharky frowned. This fatty still shared a bit of friendship with him. He couldn’t just watch him die without doing anything. As such, he flung an energy blade at Wendy’s arm.

Compared to a life, the fatty’s arms wouldn’t be that great of a price at all. Either way, high-level cultivators could all recover on their own. With some medicine, they’d grow back in a few years.

Wendy clearly understood his intentions. A hint of gratitude appeared on his face. As such, he didn’t resist at all and planned to give up his hands to escape.

However, as the blade energy approached him, the skull suddenly emanated a black vortex that sucked it all away.

Wendy screamed miserably. He could feel his own life essence being quickly sucked away as well! His two chubby arms visibly shriveled up. His smooth and round cheeks also began to cave in.

He tried to detonate his own internal energy to remove his arms, but it was already too late. Before he could summon enough power to blow up his arms, it was already sucked away by the black vortex.

Afterward, he no longer had the strength to resist. He could only turn toward the Fiend Emperor. His lips shook slightly as he said, "Save... Save me..." He knew that out of all those present, only the Fiend Emperor had the ability to save him now.

However, the Fiend Emperor remained completely indifferent. If the stone altar only opened with a blood sacrifice, Wendy was clearly the best choice for it.

Sharky’s group seemed to share quite a bit of affection with each other. If he chose any of them. It would cause their already fragile alliance to break down completely. Apart from them, there was no way he would sacrifice his own son, right?

Sharky’s group couldn’t bear to watch. However, in the current situation, they were helpless.

In the blink of an eye, the chubby Wendy had already turned into skin and bones, as if he were a mummy.

Sharky couldn’t help but recall how Sang Qian had been killed by the Mosquito Daoist. Back then, that was exactly how he had looked. Could it be that the altar had sealed a Blood race individual?

This fatty really is pitiful. He had all kinds of mysterious skills, but in the end, he died so easily.

Suddenly, a disturbance began to happen around them.

The hardened dirt around the two giant statues gradually fell off. Then, a powerful aura suddenly manifested in the hall, quickly growing stronger.

Diana and Charlotte both secretly warned the other two, "Be careful! These are peak grandmaster level aura! No, it is still getting stronger!"

Sharky’s expression changed. Don’t tell me it was earth immortal?

Forget about him, even the Fiend Emperor was getting nervous. He stared at the statue. By now, the hardened dirt had already completely fallen off, revealing its original appearance.

The Fiend Emperor was shocked and furious. He squeezed Vrishaketu’s spirit in his hand, asking, "Is that your father?"

"No... No..." Vrishaketu replied, trembling as he explained, "Something is wrong with this aura. It’s not my father!"

"Obviously!" the Fiend Emperor snapped. He could tell that the sinister aura wasn’t similar to Vrishaketu’s in the slightest.

Just then, a terrifying vortex appeared at the center of the stone platform, wildly devouring the surrounding ki.

Even with Sharky and the others’ cultivation, they could barely resist it, feeling the energy within them leave their bodies. They quickly used their skills, barely managing to keep themselves stable.

Sharky voiced his amazement. The absorption skill seemed a bit similar to the Heaven Devouring Sutra! However, when he inspected it further, it also seemed to be a bit different.

Still, he didn’t have the time to consider such questions. He shouted to the Fiend Emperor, "Hurry and stop him! If that guy revives completely, none of us will survive!"

The being inside had clearly only started to wake up. In his current state, he was at his weakest.

Sharky had considered interfering to stop the process too, but the terrifying suction force could end up making him quickly follow in the fatty’s footsteps. Only the Fiend Emperor had the power to stop it.

Suddenly, however, golden light erupted through the entire palace, and countless hidden runes in the walls lit up.

Then, golden whips emerged from the walls one after another, continuously lashing at the stone coffin.

Roars emanated from the coffin. The sinister aura briefly stopped spreading, and the terrifying suction force became much weaker than before.

The group was overjoyed to see what was happening. Charlotte quickly exclaimed, "This is a seal created by the one who built this tomb! It will not be easy for the one in the coffin to come out."

She prepared to rush forward to work together with Sharky, in order to distract the giant red bear and buy the Fiend Emperor some time.

Just then, the spirit in the Fiend Emperor’s hands cried out, "This is father’s power! I can sense my father’s power! Father, where are you? I’m Vrishaketu! Hurry and save me!"

The Fiend Emperor shivered. The current situation was already a huge mess. If another being like Karna joined the fray, he wouldn’t stand a chance even if he grew two more heads and two more pairs of arms!

Only then did Sharky learn the spirit’s name. So he was called Vrishaketu? Why does he look like that, and why was he enslaved by the Fiend Emperor?

Soon, Vrishaketu’s pleas received no reply. And then the skull looked in Vrishaketu’s direction.

Following that, the skull started thinking something, at the same time, the flesh started appearing on it.

Vrishaketu’s spirit also flowed towards him, and it appeared in the skull’s hand.

"Father, father you have unsealed," Vrishaketu shouted with happiness looking towards the skull.

The complete flesh has nearly appeared on it, only some parts were left alone. Fiend Emperor, Golden Crow Crown Prince, Alina, Charlotte and Diana were stunned by seeing the scene in front of them.

---

The Fiend Emperor felt his internal energies stir. If not for his wounds from his battle against the monsters, his attack would have already been enough to seriously injure his opponent. Still, he knew that the white-clad man seemed to have just awakened, and thus wasn’t at his strongest either.

Just how terrifying was the being in that coffin, then?

He suddenly looked to one side, only to see the crystal skull has now a complete face. And Vrishaketu’s soul fragment was looking towards him with love and pain.
