Chapter 3229: Chapter 3229: Source Of The Darkness
“I can’t take all the credits since I had the help of an item . He hid very well, it wouldn’t have been easy . ” Li Qiye shook his head and smiled before taking out a box to hand it to Emperor Sui .
The box was left behind by Fire Ancestor . It contained the unicorn’s hair and fingernail . This made it easy for Li Qiye to calculate its position .
“This child, always so intelligent . He had his own plan going on . ” Emperor Nong let out a deep sigh .
It didn’t matter what Fire Ancestor did . None could change the fact that many progenitors have been killed by him .
“Forget about the past . ” Emperor Sui summoned a flame in his palm .
“Poof!” The flame instantly turned the box into ashes that scatter to the wind .
“War is always cruel, at least Three Immortals is lucky enough to survive . ” Emperor Xi stared at the scattering ashes and said .
“We can’t escape responsibility for this . ” Emperor Nong became serious .
“Right, our damned mistake started all of this . ” Emperor Xi didn’t deny .
“Well, struggling is a part of life . Otherwise, might as well just be a rock . ” Emperor Sui smiled and said .
“Right, overcoming struggles gives meaning to life . It makes us more than walking corpses . ” Li Qiye added .
“Yes, you’re one of us, one of us . ” The three immortals clapped their hands and laughed .
“Alas, we’re inferior compared to you . ” Emperor Xi said: “The struggle back then got the best of us which is why we ran back to Three Immortals . We stopped struggling . ”
“It’s not easy returning alive from that place . ” Li Qiye said with a profound gaze: “Very few have managed to do so . ”
“We didn’t do much in the ultimate battles compared to you and the wise sages . We just messed around and eventually knew when to give up and leave . Our accomplishments are exaggerated by the unaware, that’s all . We don’t deserve any praise . ” Emperor Sui put on a forced smile .
The three immortals were survivors of an expedition . Theirs was much earlier compared to Li Qiye’s group .
“As if the villainous heaven would allow for people to mess around in its domain . ” Li Qiye chuckled . No one incapable could have survived in that place .
“Well, in the end, we realized our limits and left with dejection . The truth is that we tasted a lot of bitterness there . ” Emperor Xi added .
The inhabitants of this world probably viewed the three immortals as unbeatable figures . How could they ever be defeated?
On the other hand, the three immortal themselves had no problem accepting their defeat . This was already a peerless deed .
“No, what you three have done is magnificent, immortalized in history . ” Li Qiye still praised .
“Let’s not dwell on the past . We gave up after that attempt while you’re still as spirited as before, still having the confidence to try again . Our dao heart is not as strong . ” Emperor Nong replied .
“Yes . We gave up on this idea after returning and decided to stay in our nest until now . ” Emperor Xi said: “We’re old now, the same with our fire . ”
“It’s because I’m only eighteen that I have the energy and hotbloodedness to keep on struggling . That’s the only way to get rid of my youthful restlessness . ” Li Qiye joked .
The three immortals chuckled in response . He was indeed young compared to them . Alas, his grand dao had surpassed them at this point, which was why they addressed him as “Brother” . [1]
“Buzz . ” A very, very tiny strand of darkness suddenly emerged inside the group of stars . The naked eyes couldn’t tell where it came from .
It shouldn’t be underestimated despite its size . This power immediately contaminated the stars .
This place used to have a gorgeous glow . Each ray was pure and immaculate .
Now, more than half of the stars have been tainted . More dark rays oozed out and continued spreading . Darkness took over the area in no time at all .
“It’s here again . ” Emperor Sui’s eyes glinted coldly . Even a progenitor would shudder at this sight .
He raised his palm and unleashed a flame large enough to cover the stars . The darkness was burnt to a crisp before a complete manifestation .
It didn’t look or feel that impressive yet it was one of the strongest types of fire . Just one spark would be enough to instantly kill a progenitor . After the darkness was gone, he gathered the flame back into his palm before lowering it .
The stars regained their beauty and luster afterward .
Li Qiye noticed that at the deepest region of the stars was a tiny crack the size of a feather . This spatial crack was insignificant but it seemed to be an eternal scar . There was no curing or destroying it regardless of the methods .
“Looks man-made . ” Li Qiye concluded .
The three had an awkward expression after hearing this . One of them admitted: “Yes, we did it . ”
“Curiosity kills the cat . ” Li Qiye chuckled .
“More than that, we almost brought the entire world down with us . Thus, we have to stay here forever to deal with it, this is karma . ” Emperor Nong said .
“You definitely need this . ” Li Qiye smiled and took out an item .
He held it near his chest as if he was holding three thousand worlds .
“Three Immortals Tree . ” The item stole the trio’s attention .
“It’s finally back, after so many years . ” Emperor Xi became emotional .
“Indeed . ” Emperor Nong reached forward to gently rub it .
“I feel like it’s hard to put a price on something so priceless . ” Li Qiye smirked .
The trio exchanged glances, contemplating .
“Do we have a choice?” Emperor Nong spoke first since he was the one who made a deal with Li Qiye .
“No, but you can choose not to get it . ” Li Qiye shook his head .
“So we don’t have a choice . Just state your conditions, we only need the tree . ” Emperor Xi smiled .
“Well, I need to think about it very carefully . ” Li Qiye rubbed his chin, looking as if he was about to make an outrageous demand .
Alas, the trio couldn’t do anything about it . They needed to obediently accept all of his demands since they were fish on the chopping board .
They wouldn’t have waited until now if they didn’t need the tree . To switch it up, they themselves didn’t need it but Three Immortals did . That’s why they didn’t have a choice .
