Immortal Starry Sky-Chapter 606 - 581: Who Sent You?

Stepping forward, he gathered the corpse of Emperor Zhiya. Before Wang Xu had a chance to search for treasures, a flame of red and white burst forth, enveloping the entire body of Emperor Zhiya.

"The taste of an emperor... hmm, still quite exquisite!" You Ji exclaimed with satisfaction.

"You Ji, the corpse of the emperor is yours, but all the treasures inside the Tomb of the Origin belong to me, or I won't be able to pay for the ride on the Chaos Shuttling Treasure." Wang Xu said.

"What are treasures? The emperor's physical body is the real treasure. Here, take it!" You Ji didn't care about the treasures. For him, the shattered soul of the emperor and the emperor's body, fused with the Origin, were his greatest joys.

A Sumeru Storage Ring fell into Wang Xu's hand, and as Wang Xu used his Spiritual Sense to probe it, all the treasures of Emperor Zhiya were revealed without hiding.

"It's Water Sword Silver Stone. Judging by the volume, it's enough to stack into a Water Sword Silver Stone Mountain several hundred miles high!" Obtaining such an immense wealth, Wang Xu couldn't help but show excitement.

With this Water Sword Silver Stone, Wang Xu could not only travel on the Chaos Shuttling Treasure all the way to the Zhenfu Alliance Domain but also purchase many rare treasures he needed along the way.

As he traveled, Wang Xu's experiences greatly increased.

Many treasures and strange creatures he had never seen before in Fengye, Wang Xu witnessed them all.

He even encountered wars erupting between several Chaotic Cosmoses along the way.

Unfortunately, those Chaotic Cosmoses were far stronger than Fengye, each having several Giant Tomb Emperors, leaving him with no chance to approach the Core of Chaos and dispelling the thought of devouring it.

Though Wang Xu's strength was considerable now, he was still no match for the Giant Tomb Emperors.

Even against the likes of Emperor Feng Zhen and Emperor Yalu, Wang Xu had no confidence in victory.

"You Ji, finished devouring? Let's go!" Seeing the red and white flames return, Wang Xu shouted loudly, intending to leave the place.

"Tai Xu!" From below, Ancestor Zhuyou suddenly called out.

"Zhuyou, it'll be troublesome for you to stay here, better leave quickly." Wang Xu advised, tossing out a fist-sized piece of Water Sword Silver Stone. "Take this for your travel expenses."

"Tai Xu, take care!" Ancestor Zhuyou solemnly accepted the Water Sword Silver Stone.

The initial thought of befriending Wang Xu gradually faded.

Ancestor Zhuyou understood that though Tai Xu Ancestor was of the Ancestor Realm, his power far exceeded that level, and even those of the Great Emperor Realm were no match for him.

Moreover, from the red and white flames that consumed Emperor Zhiya, it was clear that Tai Xu's identity was extraordinary. Being saved was already a great fortune; trying to form a relationship with someone like Tai Xu would be overreaching.

"Take care." Wang Xu nodded, his figure flashed, and he vanished on the spot.

...

Obtaining such immense wealth, Wang Xu naturally planned to spend wisely.

He purchased numerous heavenly materials and earthly treasures, stockpiled many useful items, and participated in several auctions, acquiring a vast amount of treasures before he finally arrived at the Chaos Shuttling Treasure.

The Chaos Shuttling Treasure was a star filled with rings, all cast from special metal. Once inside, activating the array would instantly allow one to traverse several Chaotic Cosmoses.

"My friend, if you wait another million years, you might gather enough people. Traveling alone on the Chaos Shuttling Treasure isn't cost-effective." The person in charge was an alien Ancestor with nine facial whiskers, seeing Wang Xu come alone, advised.

Every activation of the Chaos Shuttling Treasure incurred enormous costs, exorbitant even for those at the Great Emperor Realm, which is why many cultivators would wait for others to share the ride, splitting the expenses to lessen the burden.

But Wang Xu was in a hurry; waiting a million years here and there would mean spending several Law Eras before reaching the Domain Capital of the Zhenfu Alliance Domain.

"No need, I'll cover the cost myself."

Wang Xu tossed out a fist-sized piece of Water Sword Silver Stone.

The eyes of the nine-whiskered alien lit up, hurriedly capturing the Water Sword Silver Stone, examining its authenticity, and became exceedingly thrilled.

"Great! My friend, enter the circle, and I'll initiate the Grand Array." Seeing Wang Xu's generosity, the nine-whiskered alien no longer persuaded and, as Wang Xu stood on the circle, promptly drew out energy, injecting it into the Grand Array.

Moments later, a strong Void Origin fluctuation emanated.

The power of this Void Origin far surpassed that of Emperor Zhiya, rendering any comparison futile.

The rings on the star rotated from slow to fast, spinning frantically.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a beam of light burst forth from the star, shuttling freely through the Chaos Void, disappearing in an instant.

With the light discharged, the energy was entirely spent, and the rings gradually returned to calm.

"Haha, wonderful! This time I've made a big profit!" The nine-whiskered alien cradled the Water Sword Silver Stone, exhilarated beyond measure.

Ordinary cultivators traveling on the Chaos Shuttling Treasure would offer mere "junk" in exchange, incomparable to the Water Sword Silver Stone. Moreover, Wang Xu's payment exceeded expectations, with the surplus landing entirely in his pocket, leaving him ecstatic.

Just then, a shadow with a dark expression appeared behind the nine-whiskered alien.

The nine-whiskered alien sensed a chilling aura and was instantly startled. Upon turning around, he nearly dropped the Water Sword Silver Stone out of shock.

"Zhu... Emperor Zhu Feng!" the nine-whiskered alien's voice trembled.

Standing before him was a figure several meters tall, shrouded in a cloak of black mist, with eyes dancing like green fire.

Emperor Zhu Feng was the most feared and formidable presence in this Chaotic Cosmos.

His inherent power needs no mention, but his identity was paramount.

In the entire Zhenfu Alliance Domain, aside from the faction of the Domain Master, there were many other forces entrenched.

Before him, Emperor Zhu Feng was the Governor of one such entrenched force—Candle Dragon Sect!

"I'll ask you one question, answer truthfully, or else... you should understand the consequences." Emperor Zhu Feng's voice was like that from the Nine Netherworld, cold and bone-chilling, causing heartache.

The nine-whiskered alien nodded fervently.

"Did you just teleport a person in the Heaven-Reaching Ancestor Realm away?"

"Reporting to the Great Emperor, yes, that person in the Heaven-Reaching Ancestor Realm was very generous in their payment, using this piece of Water Sword Silver Stone." The Jiuxu alien quickly presented the Water Sword Silver Stone.

Emperor Zhufeng only glanced at it to recognize this Water Sword Silver Stone as indeed originating from the Water Sword Silver Ore under his command.

"Where did you teleport him to?" asked Emperor Zhufeng.

"To the Thunder Wave Chaos Cosmos!" the Jiuxu alien answered quickly.

"To Thunder Wave?"

The Eye of Green Fire of Emperor Zhufeng narrowed, "It seems he came prepared, knowing Thunder Wave is not the territory of my Candle Dragon Sect, assuming I wouldn't pursue..."

"...However, daring to snatch something from my hands, even if he escapes to 'Taiyi Hall', it makes no difference! He must die!"

The Eye of Green Fire suddenly jumped, bursting into green sparks.

Whoosh!

Immediately, Emperor Zhufeng turned into black mist and disappeared without a trace.

The Jiuxu alien let out a long sigh of relief. He was merely a small figure in the Ancestor Realm, although assigned to oversee the Chaos Shuttling Treasure; if Emperor Zhufeng had decided to kill him, he could only accept his bad luck.

Fortunately, he preserved his life, and more importantly, he preserved this piece of Water Sword Silver Stone.

... 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Upon teleporting to the Thunder Wave Chaos Cosmos, Wang Xu didn't linger but took the Chaos Shuttling Treasure again to head to the next teleport point.

In one go, Wang Xu traversed dozens of times, spending a significant amount of Water Sword Silver Stone.

But this amount of Water Sword Silver Stone was negligible compared to the mountain of stock he had.

Three million years later.

"Almost there, almost reaching the Zhenfu Domain Capital." Wang Xu looked at the Chaos Star Map to confirm his location.

He continuously used the Chaos Shuttling Treasure, spending wealth that would make even those in the Great Emperor Realm bleed tears in pain. In a mere three million years, Wang Xu was already about to reach the Zhenfu Domain Capital.

But this time, Wang Xu was somewhat unlucky.

That Chaos Shuttling Treasure had just launched, and when Wang Xu arrived, he missed the opportunity.

Not only that, but the energy of the Chaos Shuttling Treasure was also depleted, requiring communication with the Chaos Alliance Domain to apply for energy, which would take tens of millions of years. Helpless, Wang Xu had no choice but to take the purchased flying Supreme Treasure to the next Chaos Cosmos with a Chaos Shuttling Treasure.

In the vast void, the flying Supreme Treasure advanced slowly, with Wang Xu sitting cross-legged on the deck, quietly cultivating.

Suddenly.

The flying Supreme Treasure stopped abruptly, and Wang Xu's eyes snapped open.

"The surrounding void has been sealed!" Wang Xu's alertness rose, ready for battle at any moment.

He had always been traveling using the Chaos Shuttling Treasure, and this rare occasion of not using it coincided with such an incident; it was surely suspicious.

"Young one..."

A sudden cold voice as if from the Nine Netherworld resounded in Wang Xu's ear, and simultaneously, a figure shrouded in black mist, revealing only flickering green fire eyes, walked out from the trembling void before him.

Great Emperor Realm!

And it was the Great Tomb Emperor!

Wang Xu's eyes sharpened, feeling inwardly that things had gone awry.

Having merged with the Core of Chaos, he was particularly sensitive to presence and soul perception, instantly discerning that the black mist figure before him was far stronger than Emperor Golden Crow and Emperor Jiufeng, far beyond what he could withstand!

"So it's you, who killed my Candle Dragon Sect's watcher and plundered my Water Sword Silver Ore, isn't it?" said Emperor Zhufeng. "Speak now, who sent you, and I'll spare you some pain."

Candle Dragon Sect, as expected.

Wang Xu vaguely guessed the reason they came to find him, and Emperor Zhufeng's words confirmed his suspicions.

"I belong to no faction, nor was I sent here by anyone. It's just that your watcher caught me for hard labor, and I instinctively resisted. How could this even be considered my fault?" Wang Xu's eyes darkened.

"It seems you don't intend to talk. Very well, I'll simply capture you first and then slowly soul search!" Emperor Zhufeng, impatient to waste further words with Wang Xu, immediately made his move.

The black mist suddenly surged forth, transforming into a giant hand, reaching out towards Wang Xu in an overwhelming manner.

Wang Xu's figure immediately flashed.

Swish.

He vanished from his original spot.

"Hmm?" Emperor Zhufeng was slightly surprised.

At this moment, he could not sense even a trace of Wang Xu's presence, as if this person had never existed.

But soon, Wang Xu's figure reappeared at a distant place, separated by dozens of light-years from Emperor Zhufeng.

"Such speed!" Emperor Zhufeng's eyes flickered slightly.

"Escape!"

Without turning back, Wang Xu relied on his formidable speed, darting through the Chaos Void like lightning. (To be continued.
