Chapter 578: Chapter 14: The Plan Hidden in the Shadows
Killing Kui Tian Monarch in front of the people from the Chaotic Realm was a deliberate move by Wang Sheng.
Since they had already torn their faces off, a provocation was in order, especially if it could cause the stronger ones of the Chaotic Realm to lose their reason, all the better.
At the same time, it was also a declaration of war, telling the Chaotic Realm that it was a matter of life and death with no room for compromise.
After repelling the first wave of attacks and the storm temporarily subsiding, the Planet Will appeared again.
“Why not directly kill Kui Tian Monarch in our world? There are quite a few benefits, which you must have felt, right? The fall of a strong being from the opposing world is greatly beneficial to our world.”
“There’s no need,” Wang Sheng shook his head. “It’s a fight to the death between the two worlds. If I win, their world will be ours. If I lose, where the killing occurs doesn’t make any difference. A slight advantage is meaningless.”
When the first Seventh Realm fighter died, he had felt the benefits, but now winning was the key.
“You’re right, my apologies.” The Planet Will readily admitted its mistake.
“It’s fine; this is just the beginning. The Eighth Realm is more difficult to deal with than I imagined.”
It seemed that he had killed Kui Tian Monarch with ease, but that was for deterrence.
If he were even slightly weaker, the Peeping Heaven Realm would not have been so easy to deal with. Even if he wouldn’t lose, he couldn’t have killed someone from the Eighth Realm.
“There might very well be an enemy of the same level as me in the opposing world!”
“We must confront soldiers with generals and water with earth; this is inevitable. However, I fear the next time it won’t be just one person.”
Wang Sheng nodded without denying.
His effortless massacre of Kui Tian Monarch meant the Chaotic Realm would definitely take him seriously; they would not likely send a solitary Eighth Realm again.
There would be at least two, or maybe even more.
“Can the inter-world passage now accommodate two from the Eighth Realm?”
“No, but that being called Kui Tian Monarch left behind contingencies while fleeing. In about half a year, it will probably be possible for two from the Eighth Realm to descend…”
“That means in roughly half a year, the enemy will come attacking. That’s good, gives us a bit of a buffer.”
The strike he had launched just now was very powerful; he had been charging it for several hours and could say that he delivered his strongest spear attack in one blow.
Even he would not be able to deliver a second blow immediately.
If the enemy were to come half a year later, that would give him time to recover.
If he could advance even further during these six months, it would be even better.
“Judging by the strength you’ve shown, it is highly likely it will be half a year. However, we also must be cautious in case they do the opposite, which could be troublesome.”
“I know.” Wang Sheng was never complacent.
The “Destruction” spear technique was draining to use; he immediately began recovering after using it, and now he was nearly fully rebounded and began to charge again.
Charging had its limits, but he had to maintain it constantly to achieve a surprise attack.
“Then I won’t disturb you.”
The Planet Will didn’t leave. It had left during the face-off with Kui Tian Monarch because it didn’t want to expose itself, as a Planet/World Will was exceedingly precious.
When not facing an enemy, it remained vigilantly beside Wang Sheng.
The Planet Will ceased talking, and Wang Sheng also fell into silence, concentrating his spirit, ready for the next assault.
An Eighth Realm opponent was formidable!
But for a war between two worlds, it was merely an appetizer.
However, during his cultivation, a figure carefully approached.
This figure was shocked by the vast inter-world passage and could not hide their concern, but they breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the figure beside the passage.
“Zhu Xiao?”
Wang Sheng sensed the newcomer.
Huangtian had already received his orders; no matter what happened, they should not come here, and the same was almost true for Qingshan Village.
Hearing Wang Sheng call out, Zhu Xiao smiled, “It looks like you’ve won!”
“Only the first wave of enemies,” Wang Sheng wasn’t too concerned, “why have you come here?”
“Of course, to find out how things are going. The officials in Datong and Qingshan Village were ordered by you not to come here. Only I could come, given the grand visions recently, the already unstable situation has become more difficult, not to mention I am the next strongest after you. If you fall, then it’s my turn!”
“You?” Wang Sheng looked at Zhu Xiao, then laughed, “If I fall, you’d better run fast, try to make it back to Qingshan Village, and that might save your life.”
Qingshan Village not only had means to threaten the Eighth Realm, but it was crucial to have ways to escape.
If he was truly injured, he would not have time to worry about Qingshan Village.
Once Qingshan Village was attacked, they would immediately trigger the escape protocols.
It wasn’t far, on a silent planet not far from this one, there was a temporary sanctuary he had prepared.
“If you fail, what’s the point of us running? Although you haven’t said it, many people understand that if the enemy truly wins, the creatures in our world won’t have a good fate. In that case, there’s nothing to do but fight to the death!” Zhu Xiao spoke with resolve.
Wang Sheng knew that if he really couldn’t withstand it.
Zhu Xiao and many other strong beings would fight.
Even if it were like moths to a flame, arms blocking a chariot!
Wang Sheng smiled, remembering the one who had debated with him in the past. Though her power had become vastly inferior to his, her confidence had never changed.
As the strongest after him, the first to break through to the Fifth Realm, her pride did not allow her to surrender so easily!
Wang Sheng didn’t dwell on it, “Suit yourself. You probably came here to scout the situation. Things are okay for now, no need for particular worry. Go back; it’s not your time to act yet.”
