Beast God of War

Upon hearing this, Sikong Jing looked at the man in black robes, and then at the Prison Emperor that appeared inside the bead.

A slight smirk played on his lips as he thought to himself: "He's definitely no good; he exposed his true nature so easily."

From the moment Sikong Jing saw the man in black robes, he was certain that the Prison Clan suppressed within the Ancient Ancestor Hell Array were no good people, or rather, the Prison Emperor himself was no good.

Although I'm not entirely sure...

However, judging from the fact that the man in black wanted to kill him the moment he saw him, the other party's desire for the fragments of the Spirit Root Divine Willow was definitely not as simple as Yu Mang said.

They can break through the formation and return to the vast universe to regain their vitality.

They're all half-true and half-false.

"He really wants to break out of the formation, but he definitely won't care whether the fragments of the Spirit Root Divine Willow can be restored to life. His claim of wanting to fight for the universe is just a lie to fool me."

"Moreover, he was suppressed by the powerful figures of the Vast Universe for seven eras of the War of the Burial Emperors, and was unable to leave..."

"Humph……"

“Some members of the Prison Clan have already left and have become the strongest clan in the Vast Universe once again. Why can’t he, a former clan leader, leave? Perhaps the mistakes he made are unforgivable.”

Silently pondering, Sikong Jing stared at the prison light within the bead and spoke...

“If you are so eager to fight for Hanyu, then you shouldn’t be threatening me.”

"As the Great Emperor, you know better than I how important the Spirit Root Divine Willow is to the Vast Universe. Shouldn't you be trying to ensure that I can bring the Spirit Root Divine Willow back safely?"

"Even if it means death, even if it means being suppressed here forever..."

"Shouldn't you be thinking about the Great World of Hanyu, and your people who have returned to Hanyu?"

As Sikong Jing continued to question him, Yu Mang's expression changed slightly, but he quickly regained his peaceful smile.

"It was my fault, I was too hasty..."

“I have been trapped here for far too long, and my mind has become unstable. I am ashamed and I apologize to you.”

Yu Mang spoke softly, then opened his mouth again...

"Of course I hope that the fragments of the Spirit Root Divine Willow can return to the Vast Universe World smoothly."

"As I said before, transforming it into the Death Demon Willow will not only help me break the formation and leave, but also allow me to return to the Vast Universe."

"young people……"

"Don't you wish for another Great Emperor to emerge in the Vast Universe?"

As he spoke, Yu Mang seemed to realize that Sikong Jing was not so easily fooled, so his eyes became more sincere. However, the performance was a bit too obvious, and Sikong Jing was no naive young man.

With a slight smile, Sikong Jing calmly spoke again...

"Of course I hope so, but I still don't quite trust you, after all, the fragments of the Spirit Root Divine Willow are too important."

"How about this……"

"Return the Aurora Race's destruction mechanism to me first, and then I will believe you."

Upon hearing this, Yu Mang could barely conceal his anger again. The man in black robes retreated continuously, distancing himself from Sikong Jing, fearing that Sikong Jing might rush up and snatch it if things went wrong.

Seeing this, Sikong Jing continued...

"how?"

"Since you're fighting for the sake of Hanyu, and since you have nothing to hide, why don't you return the Destruction Mechanism to me?"

"I sincerely hope that Hanyu can have another Great Emperor."

Under normal circumstances, how could an emperor who is completely devoted to the vast universe be afraid of Sikong Jing and not save him?
He shouldn't have made a deal with Sikong Jing...

Instead, the explanation should be why the man in black wanted to kill him the moment they met. He must have something to hide, he must be afraid that he would discover something, and he kept the trap open to continue threatening him if things didn't go well.

"I'd really like to know, what mistake did you make that led to your suppression by the entire Hanyu?"

Sikong Jing asked again, and as he spoke, the life force within his body was constantly repairing his injuries. At this moment, Sikong Jing was also stalling for time to recover from his injuries and seize back the Destruction Mechanism in one fell swoop.

They must be restored to their peak condition to have a chance to seize it before the man in black shatters the mechanism.

The Prison Emperor within the bead did not answer, as if hesitating whether to return the Destruction Mechanism to Sikong Jing.

Just then, the man in black robes suddenly realized something and whispered, "Your Majesty, he's stalling for time; he's healing his injuries..."

Upon hearing this, a cold glint flashed in Yu Mang's eyes...

He stared intently at Sikong Jing and then said, "Young man, Hanyu is a junior. I will give you ten breaths. Either agree to my terms now, or... no one will be able to obtain the fragment of the Spirit Root Divine Willow."

There was no answer as to what crime he had committed to warrant his suppression...

Instead, they suddenly revealed their hand.

Clearly, the subordinates of the Prison Clan in this eighteenth level are no match for the recovered Sikong Jingzhi, so the Prison Clan finally bared its fangs and once again uttered... threatening words.

"Once ten breaths have passed, I will immediately have the prisoner crush the destruction mechanism."

"As soon as the Vitality Small World shatters, the monsters from the seventeenth floor will swarm down and kill everything in their path. At that time, the people inside the Vitality Small World, the fragments of the Spirit Root Divine Willow, and even the fragments of the Aurora Sacred Pearl from the Primordial Universe will all be torn to pieces."

"Of course, that includes you too..."

Yu Mang's voice grew colder and colder, and he said without any pretense, "It's been five breaths."

"Of course, your agreement is useless..."

"Now release your spiritual sea of ​​consciousness and let my men control your life and death. Once my men obtain the fragments of the Spirit Root Divine Willow, they will naturally release you."

The meaning is: He doesn't believe Sikong Jing's verbal promise.

What he wanted was to control Sikong Jing's life and death, and then send the man in black robes back to the forbidden area of ​​the Lingliu clan to complete what he had not yet accomplished. Once the fragments of the Spirit Root Divine Willow had completely turned into darkness, he would release the control over Sikong Jing.

Of course, that's what they say, but whether they'll actually let Sikong Jing go is still hard to say.

For Sikong Jing, it was...

They will either be controlled, or the inner world within the inner world will be destroyed.

"It seems I can't delay any longer. I must risk taking back the Aurora Clan's destruction mechanism."

Sikong Jing thought to himself that if he wanted to break the deadlock, he had to take back the destruction mechanism before the other party could crush it.

"Time's up, answer me."

Yu Mang shouted again, and the black-robed man continued to retreat, gripping the Destruction Mechanism tightly in his hand.

Just as Sikong Jing was preparing to risk everything to seize it...

Suddenly, a voice that sounded somewhat familiar to Sikong Jing descended from the sky...

"Young man, do not be afraid of the destruction of the Vitality World. I will protect you from all threats on the seventeenth floor."

This voice stunned Sikong Jing. What was going on? There were still human experts on the seventeenth floor?
"And don't agree to Yu Mang's request..."

"The reason he was suppressed here is because he colluded with the Primordial Universe Great World and betrayed the Vast Universe."

"The reason why Yu Mang was afraid of you and immediately returned to the Small World of Life is because he was afraid that you would learn all about Yu Mang's dark history from the old Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts and then no longer agree to help him."

As the words fell, Sikong Jing was shaken to his core, finally realizing the mistake Yu Mang had made.

It turned out they had betrayed the Vast Universe. (End of Chapter)
