Immortal Starry Sky-Chapter 600 - 575: Let the Great Emperors Bleed a Little
As time passed, a million years slipped through the fingers unnoticed.
In the palace, Wang Xu, who had been meditating like a fossil for a full eight million years, finally opened his eyes.
""Violence", "Barbarian", the two complement each other, causing my power to surge once again!"
After spending two million years traveling with his family, Wang Xu "created" numerous descendants, making the Wang Family prosper. However, Wang Xu disliked managing the family and preferred not to show himself much, entrusting these tasks to his six wives.
Thus, he found time for Cultivation, focusing on enhancing his strength.
This Cultivation spanned a full eight million years.
Eight million years of solitary Cultivation made Wang Xu's power surge once again.
"In terms of Realm, I am only in the Heaven-Reaching Ancestor Realm, but my current Power can entirely rival that of a Heaven-Defying Ancestor!" Wang Xu thought to himself.
To rival a Heaven-Defying Ancestor meant being able to contend with an Ordinary person of the Great Emperor Realm, though this was still his conservative estimate.
After all, the benefits brought by the two Cores of Chaos were far greater than that, and if Wang Xu used his "trump card," his strength would become even more terrifying!
He remembered that when the Domain Master of Zhenfu left, he gifted Wang Xu with three ice crystal chests as a present.
Contained within those three ice crystal chests were surprisingly three Heaven-Shocking Secret Collections of the Ancestor Realm enough to make those of the Great Emperor Realm covet them!
The gift of three Heaven-Shocking Secret Collections from Ancestral figures truly moved Wang Xu.
But thinking about how it was the formidable Domain Master of Zhenfu who gifted them, he felt at ease.
However, the only flaw was that one of these Heaven-Shocking Secret Collections was a left-foot Secret Collection, which repeated the Dunhuang Secret Collection Wang Xu had obtained.
As for the other two, one was the right foot, the other was the head collection. After fully Devouring them, except for the left hand, the rest of Wang Xu's Ancient Flesh Body reached the level of the Ancestor Realm!
"Just a left-hand Heaven-Shocking Secret Collection away from achieving Perfection in the Ancient Flesh Body!"
Unlike the Ancients who required prolonged practice and torturous grinding to achieve a formidable body.
Wang Xu only needed to Devour them to perfectly integrate these Ancient Flesh Bodies into his own, making them a part of his body, lavishly utilizing them.
He believed that acquiring one more left-hand Heaven-Shocking Secret Collection would be like completing something incomplete to Perfection, propelling his physical strength to new heights!
"Fengye also has a left-hand Heaven-Shocking Secret Collection; perhaps I could go to the Great Emperors to exchange for the Hand Collection." With this thought, Wang Xu immediately got up and went to seek the audience with Palace Master Xian Tang.
...
"Left-hand Secret Collection?" Emperor Xian Tang sighed upon hearing it and shook his head.
"Palace Master, I don't know which of the Great Emperors has a left-hand Secret Collection; I could exchange it for something of equal value," Wang Xu said.
"Tai Xu, there's no need for you to search, for no one among us has the Heaven-Shocking Secret Collection you seek," Emperor Xian Tang said. "During the Chaos war, when Fengye stood against the invasions of the two Chaotic Cosmos and the devastations of the Three Thousand Doomsdays for hundreds of thousands of years, it was with unceasing treasures."
"To win the war, we in the Great Emperor Realm distributed all the treasures in the treasury, even those privately stored by us, to many heaven-defying Ancestors...all to withstand more enemies and allow Fengye to survive another day."
Wang Xu nodded solemnly.
He had witnessed the Chaos war then—a united assault by two Chaotic Cosmos, combined with the terrifying Ancient Soldier of Three Thousand Doomsdays. To survive was fortunate enough; who would care about extra external treasures?
After all, other cultivators were different from Wang Xu.
They could only use one Heaven-Shocking Secret Collection at a time, and any extra would be useless to them.
It would be better to distribute them to more in the Ancestor Realm, bolstering their strength to fend off foreign invaders.
"Palace Master, after the death of Emperor Feng Zhen, when Earth ceased to resist, didn't we reclaim many treasures?" Wang Xu asked.
Once Emperor Feng Zhen had died, the outcome of the battle was decided, and being the defeated side, Earth had no right to retain those looted treasures and naturally handed over everything.
"All were left to the surviving Ancestor Realm and the many factions that participated in the war then," Emperor Xian Tang said. "They paid far more than us and deserved more treasures as well."
This was to ease hearts.
The recovered treasures are of no use to the Great Emperor's people. The war is over, and there's no need for further fighting. Instead, the various forces below will have disputes with each other. These treasures are more useful to them. In this way, it can also successfully win people's hearts and restore the former prestige of the Holy Land.
"I see." Wang Xu also sighed. After all, he had thought everything was too simple.
"You don't need to be discouraged. You can go find an Ancestor Realm with the Left Hand Secret Collection and exchange treasures. I think they won't deny you this favor," said the Great Emperor Xiantang. "Moreover, it is my Fengye who has suffered, while Kedan and Zhitu remain relatively intact. With your current status, acquiring a Left Hand Secret Collection is not a difficult matter."
The Great Emperor Xiantang indeed enlightened Wang Xu.
He had devoured the cores of two Chaotic Cosmos, which meant that all the treasures of the two Chaotic Cosmos would belong to him!
A mere Heaven-Shocking Secret Collection was just a piece of cake for a Devourer like Wang Xu.
"Alright, I'll head to Kedan right now!"
Kedan and Zhitu had joined forces to cause such damage to Fengye, but Wang Xu had only avenged himself on Zhitu and hadn't touched a hair on Kedan. It was time for them to pay up!
Immediately, Wang Xu rushed towards Kedan.
...
"Controller Tai Xu."
As soon as Wang Xu arrived in Kedan, the six Great Emperors, including the Rebellion Great Emperor and Shu Zi Great Emperor, immediately sensed his presence and quickly came before Wang Xu, greeting him respectfully.
The Controller was the term used by the beings of the Chaotic Cosmos, whose Core of Chaos had been devoured, to refer to the Devourer.
"Are you six here? Perfect, open your Sumeru Storage Rings and Chaotic Cosmos for me to see," Wang Xu said directly without beating around the bush.
"Yes." Reluctantly in their hearts, the six Great Emperors had no choice, as Wang Xu's words were like commands from the core of chaos itself, and such a powerful will left them unable to disobey.
Wang Xu quickly inspected the six Sumeru Storage Rings and six Chaotic Cosmos.
"Hmm, not bad. It looks like you all have been quite responsible in your roles as Great Emperors." Wang Xu nodded, and the six Great Emperors exchanged puzzled glances, quickly realizing what Wang Xu intended.
"Shu Zi Great Emperor, your Heaven-Shocking Secret Collection, Great Emperor's Secret Medicine, and numerous Chaos Primordial Techniques are of no use to you now, right? Give them all to me!" Wang Xu didn't phrase it as a request but as a notification to Shu Zi Great Emperor. Without waiting for Shu Zi Great Emperor to speak, he had already transferred all the treasures into his Ancestral Stele Chaos Realm.
Shu Zi Great Emperor's lips twitched, his face turning an angry shade of purple, but he had to endure it.
The treasures accumulated painstakingly were something even he was reluctant to use, yet Wang Xu stripped them away in one sweep.
"Wow! Rebellion Great Emperor, you have even more treasures than Shu Zi Great Emperor. Truly worthy of being the top Great Emperor in Kedan. I'll help myself then!" Wang Xu showed no former restraint in front of these Kedan emperors, fully transforming into a "rogue," taking anything good without hesitation.
"You!" Rebellion Great Emperor was about to lose his temper, but Wang Xu merely pressed his palm lightly, making Rebellion Great Emperor feel like the entire space had solidified into a massive iron block, with him as a tiny ordinary being trapped inside, unable to move.
Ever since the Master of Zhenfu Domain left, Wang Xu had been diligently searching for information about Devourers.
Condensing space was just an unremarkable yet most practical power among the many formidable abilities of a Devourer.
The six Great Emperors watched helplessly as Wang Xu took away a lifetime's worth of accumulated treasures from their Sumeru Storage Rings and Chaotic Cosmos, their hearts bleeding, their faces indescribably grim.
Were they angry?
Of course! If they could act, they would undoubtedly tear Wang Xu to pieces on the spot without hesitation!
But they couldn't.
Not to mention, if Wang Xu perished, they would have to accompany him in death. With a mere thought, Wang Xu could render even the Great Emperors immobile. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞
This was the overwhelming power of a Devourer; having devoured a core of chaos meant possessing all the treasures of the beings within that Chaotic Cosmos.
They were not slaves but were more loyal and reliable than slaves!
Moments later.
"All done!" Wang Xu clapped his hands, "You may leave now."
The six Great Emperors looked deathly pale, their gaze like they wanted to shoot flames.
"Stop staring, you're busy. Go back." Wang Xu waved his hand, and before they could retaliate, Wang Xu utilized space transfer to send them back to their respective Holy Lands.
