Chapter 833

"Damn it, a sneak attack!"

"Damn it, damn it..."

"A mere Void Refinement stage, yet you dared to slay this Emperor?"

"Truly... I've capsized in a gutter!"

Inside the Brightness Imperial Palace, the Brightness God Emperor Aglei cursed in fury.

Of course, the current Aglei was not his true body, merely a clone.

His true body had been killed, and now that the clone had merged with the soul of the true body, it had become his sole true body.

Thinking back on it now, Aglei finally understood the full story.

So, that brat from the Phoenix clan had been putting on a show to confuse me, making me think the Phoenix clan was the greatest threat, only for my defenses to be left empty, allowing that human brat to succeed.

The hatred!

A dignified God Emperor of the Body Integration stage, killed by a little brat at the Void Refinement stage—if this were to spread, it would be utterly humiliating.

What to do?

Aglei stood in the great hall, his mind filled with a thousand thoughts.

If he were to head to that battlefield now, it would take about two hours.

If he could find that person's aura, there was an eighty percent chance he could catch up and kill them.

As long as he was careful, he could not only kill the opponent but even obtain their Imperial Weapon.

Should he go?

Aglei hesitated for about the time it takes to burn half a stick of incense, before finally shaking his head.

He dared not take the risk.

Because he no longer had a clone.

Once he had no clone, if he died, he would truly be dead.

Although he was ninety percent or even more certain that he would be fine and could kill the opponent, what if he capsized in the gutter again?

After all, the opponent still had a Body Integration stage Phoenix!

No, he could not go.

Imperial Weapons were precious, but not as precious as his own life.

Just like that, Aglei completely abandoned the plan to go back and find He Pingsheng, though a sliver of doubt arose in his heart: How did that brat kill my true body?

That's not right!

I am a dignified existence at the eighth layer of the Body Integration stage; even if I stood there without moving, a full-force attack from an ordinary Void Refinement stage could not possibly kill me in one blow.

That brat is not simple.

When did the human race produce such a character?

Aglei pondered for a long time but couldn't figure it out, so he shook his head, continued to sit cross-legged on the ground, took out his ring, and poured out all the materials he had collected over the years.

He needed to see if the materials for condensing a clone were sufficient.

For him, the most urgent priority now was to condense a clone.

Only with a clone would he have a foolproof plan.

Time passed slowly like this.

One day, two days!

On the third day, a powerful spatial fluctuation suddenly came from not far to the north of the Imperial City; although this trace of spatial fluctuation was not large, it was still captured by Aglei.

"This is..."

Aglei's eyes snapped open, and his body shuddered.

A month ago, a massive spatial fluctuation had come from the direction of Zhujie City, which was why Aglei had set off to the vicinity of Zhujie City to look for clues.

In the end, he found absolutely nothing and was even ambushed and killed by a Void Refinement stage brat.

Now, the aura of this spatial fluctuation had come again.

At this very moment, Aglei had completely forgotten about He Pingsheng; he could not possibly link He Pingsheng to the spatial fluctuation.

In order to figure out what was going on with this spatial fluctuation, he didn't say a word, teleported away from his spot, and flew toward the north of the city.

As for safety concerns?

They didn't exist!

Who could kill this Emperor in the vicinity of my Imperial Capital?

This Emperor has plenty of means to escape.

As long as I don't run into a Mahayana Imperial Realm, I'll be fine.

And judging from the aura of this spatial fluctuation, this should not be a spatial passage opened by a Mahayana Imperial Realm, because the aura of this spatial fluctuation was fundamentally different.

The Brightness God Emperor had seen those spatial passages opened by Mahayana Imperial Realms many times before.

Therefore, Aglei boldly walked out of the Imperial Palace and flew toward the rear.

Along the way, alternating between teleportation and flight, after about the time it takes to burn a stick of incense, Aglei finally arrived in a desolate wilderness.

Here, there was a cultivator.

The cultivator's cultivation was at the eleventh layer of the Void Refinement stage.

But Aglei didn't pay much attention, because this cultivator was not He Pingsheng, but just a woman.

"Who are you, and why are you here?" Aglei asked the woman: "Did you just now, that is, a stick of incense ago, see a spatial displacement here?"

The woman smiled, then bowed and saluted: "Greetings, Your Majesty God Emperor, there was indeed a spatial vortex that appeared here just now!"

"A spatial vortex?"

Aglei asked: "Where?"

The woman said: "Right here, it was just here, but in this short time, it has already disappeared!"

"Oh, oh, oh..." Hearing the woman say this, Aglei divided half of his spiritual sense and swept it toward the void the woman was pointing at.

However, just as he extended his spiritual sense, before he could scan any clues, he felt a sound of breaking air coming from behind him.

Turning his head to look, he saw eight purple-black, thin needles stabbing toward him from eight different directions behind his back.

"Damn it..." the Brightness God Emperor shouted, subconsciously wanting to dodge, but he instantly discovered that the spatial rules around him were being interfered with by something.

Looking closely, a hundred miles away, a golden banner a thousand feet in size had been unfurled at some point.

At this moment, Aglei finally realized something was wrong, and he slapped his forehead hard, "Bad!"

Ding, ding, ding...

All eight poison needles were blocked by his protective shield.

Aglei was, after all, a God Emperor of the Body Integration stage; he still had this much capability.

After blocking the eight poison needles, the Brightness God Emperor turned around abruptly, only to see seven greenish divine nails attacking him.

For a moment, he thought it was just an ordinary attack and hurriedly shifted the direction of his shield to defend, but these seven divine nails bypassed the shield directly, and with a few 'puchi' sounds, they slammed into his sea of consciousness.

A personage like the Brightness God Emperor could not possibly lack a magic treasure to defend his spiritual sense.

Unfortunately, that spiritual sense magic treasure was on his true body; after the true body died, this magic treasure fell into the hands of He Pingsheng and Feng Wu, and was not on the clone.

That was why He Pingsheng could sneak attack without any scruples, and succeed once again.

"Ah..." the Brightness God Emperor felt his sea of consciousness being stirred up and let out a miserable scream.

However, the next moment, he felt a numbness in his sea of consciousness.

It turned out that He Pingsheng had used the 【Ten Thousand Erosion Attachment Divine Ability】 on his Wuxiang Beidou Nail divine ability, which carried a deadly poison.

The Brightness God Emperor endured the numbness and pain, and with a 'whoosh', turned into a beam of light and flew away.

He Pingsheng did not pursue, just watched him quietly.

After about twenty breaths of time, the God Emperor manifested his true body, then crashed into a valley deep within the mountains, completely devoid of the strength to resist.

The Brightness God Emperor was a 【Heavenly Elephant】.

"Phew..." In the distance, the woman's appearance that He Pingsheng had transformed into gradually faded, revealing his original look; seeing the God Emperor fall into the deep valley, he let out a light sigh of relief and said: "Feng Wu, go over and clean up, be careful, the opponent might just be faking death, waiting for a final strike!"

"Just don't fall for his tricks!"

"Yes!" Feng Wu in the distance put away the Space-Time Jin Fan and then flew toward the valley.
