Chapter 1289 Undercurrents, Turning the Ancients to the Side
In that instant, in the endless darkness, there was a deathly silence and coldness.
Everything seemed to freeze.
The Yellow Bracelet of Inner Demons, or rather, a projection of the Yellow Bracelet of Inner Demons, rose from the body of the Demon Elephant Apostle and faced the terrifying dragon head that was countless times larger than itself, without showing the slightest panic on its face.
Instead, they bowed to him with utmost humility and politeness.
His confidence is naturally based on his own reasons.
After all, the inner demon Huangzhu at this moment was not his true body, but only a wisp of his will descended—using that wisp of will and aura to possess the body of an apostle.
So even though he has been discovered now, he is not afraid at all. At worst, he will only lose a wisp of projection and his will.
Therefore, he appeared quite calm and composed.
"What I can't understand is that this is a method I obtained from that great being, a usurpation of another's nest. Logically speaking, I should have no flaws or mistakes—at least that great being once said that as long as I remain silent, even the ancients cannot see through me."
The inner demon Huang Zhuo spoke eloquently, looking at the enormous dragon head with great curiosity, and sincerely asked questions.
"You're right, you didn't reveal any flaws."
The ancient, enormous, and terrifying dragon head emitted a thunderous sound that was deafening.
"I was just bluffing you once."
Even with the composure of the Heart Demon Yellow Bracelet, he was stunned for a long time before finally letting out a sigh.
wry smile.
How could he have imagined that the ancient Void Dragon before him had not discovered any "flaws" and was merely... making a casual lie?
“No, that’s not right. In this Demon Elephant Apostle’s understanding, you are not someone who comes up with such unpredictable tricks. Even if it’s a test, you must have your reasons.” The Heart Demon Yellow Bracelet shook its head.
"As expected of that guy's apostle."
The massive dragon head had no expression, revealing neither joy nor sorrow, and said, "Indeed, there are some reasons. Since I fought with you, although you escaped, my hunters' army has been targeted everywhere in that endless battlefield. It seems that our deployment and plans are being guessed almost every moment, which is quite difficult."
It wasn't just in a particular legion or region; it covered almost the entire battlefield—it was as if an invisible pair of eyes were watching the entire situation on the battlefield, and every time they were one step ahead of the Hunter Alliance.
Under these circumstances, I can't help but suspect that there might be traitors constantly passing intelligence and information to the remnants of the enemy.
The problem couldn't possibly be on the front lines, because each legion led by an apostle was independent of the others. Even if information and intelligence were shared, it would be impossible for a traitor to leak information about different legions in the first instance.
Only in this place, within the evolving sand table that monitors all battlefield movements, can one clearly see all the deployments and the situation.
If this traitor truly exists, then if it's not you, then it can only be me.
As soon as he finished speaking, the Heart Demon Yellow Bracelet clapped his hands and praised, "As expected of one of the seventeen most outstanding ancient beings in the entire Chaotic Sea of Time and Space, I underestimated you."
With the explanation from the ancient Void Dragon Elder, the Heart Demon Yellow Bracelet fully understood—it wasn't just a test or a bluff as he had previously claimed.
Although his inner demon, the Yellow Bracelet, did not reveal any flaws, his opponent deduced his identity from the changes on the battlefield—he could only be a traitor, otherwise the situation on the battlefield could not have been fully predicted by the remnants of the natural enemy.
"The reason why it is said that you possessed him is not because you turned him against you."
The ancient Void Dragon continued, "—The Demon Elephant can never betray me. If one day he truly does something to betray me, then he will no longer be himself."
“Very good, very good…” the inner demon Huangzhu muttered to himself: “You guessed right. When my consciousness first parasitized his body, I offered countless stakes and even promised him that he would become the next Ancient One, but he never wavered.”
Left with no other choice, I had to possess him—a last resort indeed.
However, this is enough to prove one thing—he did not betray you. Putting everything else aside, your skill in managing subordinates is exceptionally adept.
"Are you finished?"
Just as the Heart Demon Yellow Bracelet was sincerely praising the Ancient Void Dragon, the enormous dragon head seemed to grow impatient: "You took advantage of the fight with me to possess my most loyal subordinate, which must have been to control the situation on the battlefield so that you could better find the power you were looking for, right?"
I must say, it was a risky move, but you did succeed. You managed to deceive me for quite some time, giving you a significant advantage on the battlefield.
But have you ever considered the cost?
As soon as he finished speaking, an infinitely terrifying power erupted from the Void Dragon Ancient Elder!
In that instant, the entire dimensional space trembled and shook, as if it could not bear the weight!
At this very moment, the inner demon Huangzhu possessed the demon elephant apostle, and was discovered by the ancient Void Dragon Elder.
So what awaits his obsession and projection is only a helpless destruction and annihilation!
"I swear here and now that the next time we meet, I will kill you completely!"
The moment the words fell, endless darkness surged forth, instantly covering and enveloping the Heart Demon Yellow Bracelet!
Even the fully formed Heart Demon Yellow Bracelet could not possibly be a match for the ancient being before him, let alone the fact that he was merely a projection of a wisp of consciousness. If the Void Dragon Ancient Being so desired, he could be completely destroyed in an instant without any chance of anything going wrong.
But the inner demon, Huang Zhuo, seemed to be making a final struggle.
He suddenly spoke up: "Please wait a moment, and let me say something!"
"Is there anything more to say between us?" The ancient Void Dragon Elder's voice was cold and devoid of emotion, but his movements were still somewhat slow.
"You guessed many things correctly, but there's one thing you guessed wrong."
The inner demon Huangzhuo quickly seized this hard-won opportunity and said, "—My purpose in possessing your apostle was not to gain the upper hand on the battlefield."
In fact, you should have already guessed that neither the outcome of the war, the size of the territory, nor anything else matters to me or to the great being behind me.
All we care about is that ancient power, that terrifying thing called the power of chaos.
Therefore, my purpose in possessing your apostle was merely to obtain firsthand information about it; any battlefield convenience was just a side effect.
After a pause, the Heart Demon Yellow Bracelet took a deep breath and continued, "—As for the other purpose, I originally intended to tell you when the time was right, but now that you have discovered me, please hear me out." Then, without any hesitation, the Heart Demon Yellow Bracelet said, "—I want to invite you to join the ranks of that great being."
In that instant, the entire darkness fell into endless silence.
In fact, since discovering the identity of the Heart Demon Yellow Bracelet, the Ancient Void Dragon has not shown any emotional fluctuations.
Neither rage nor murderous intent was shown.
But at this moment, upon hearing the words of the inner demon Huang Zhuo, he couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.
It was as if it were a mockery, echoing in the ears of the inner demon, Huang Zhuo.
"I used to respect you, at least you were brave and resourceful, and you remained calm in the face of adversity, but now it seems that you are being a bit delusional."
The terrifyingly large dragon head of the Ancient Void Dragon slowly swayed.
—Actually, it's no wonder he reacted that way.
In the current situation, the ancient being located in the forbidden zone is still being suppressed. The sixteen ancient beings have not given the dark power any chance to leak out. It can be said that apart from the Heart Demon Yellow Bracelet, which escaped the net, the forbidden zone is still being suppressed.
And these remnants of natural enemies from the outside world will one day be completely eliminated and destroyed.
Under such circumstances, how could Xulong possibly choose to betray his own forces?
not to mention……
Even setting aside the circumstances, the Void Dragon Ancients were beings born from the chaotic sea of time and space transformed from that incredibly ancient "chaos." They were inherently opposed and contradictory in their stances to the natural enemies suppressed within the forbidden zone.
In short, it's a fight to the death between the two sides.
If he chooses to defect under these circumstances, then he would truly be out of his mind!
Therefore, the Void Dragon Elder couldn't even fathom why the other party would make such an outrageous suggestion.
It's utterly unbelievable.
But the Heart Demon Huang Zhuo didn't take his mockery seriously. He took a deep breath and said, "You misunderstand. Actually, the reason I asked you to join that ancient being's ranks was not for any other reason, but... I wanted to save you."
In that instant, the ancient Void Dragon seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world. "Save me? What can you use to save me? Can you even see the situation before you?"
Not to mention that the great being behind you is suppressed in a forbidden zone, just talk about... that chaotic power.
Your concern is so great that you're even willing to wage war to find this force; I don't think it's just out of hatred, is it?
The ancient Void Dragon Elder succinctly revealed the true reason why the remnants of the natural enemy launched this war: "--If I'm not mistaken, this power is enough to threaten the great being behind you, isn't it? Otherwise, you wouldn't have gone to such lengths to find it."
In that case, your chances of winning are almost negligible, so what makes you think you can save me?
As the Ancient Void Dragon spoke, the Heart Demon Yellow Bracelet beside him did not refute him at all, but instead kept nodding, as if he were acknowledging everything he said.
"Indeed, as expected of an ancient person, what you said is basically without any errors or omissions."
The inner demon Huangzhuo picked up the thread and continued, "But the problem lies precisely in that power. If that chaotic power truly revives, then you, and all the lives of your fellow hunters, will be... wiped out in an instant."
Therefore, preventing the birth of this force is saving your life!
At that moment, the Ancient Void Dragon even began to suspect that the Heart Demon Yellow Bracelet was merely stalling for time.
The things he said became increasingly absurd and incomprehensible.
But judging from the appearance of the inner demon Huangzhuo, it didn't seem like it was spouting nonsense and stalling for time.
"Think about it, what does the appearance of that power really mean?" The Heart Demon Yellow Bracelet raised its head, looked at the enormous dragon head, and asked.
The ancient dragon-man frowned deeply.
"Could it be that you think this power called Chaos was refined by life forms in the chaotic sea of time and space?" the Heart Demon Yellow Bracelet asked again, his voice calm.
The ancient Void Dragon Elder frowned.
In fact, whether it was him or any other ancient being, as long as they knew about the power of chaos and the existence of that "chaos", when they sensed this power of chaos before, they could basically guess what the birth of "it" really meant.
—The being known as "Chaos" is about to be revived.
Because over countless millennia, ancient beings have determined one thing: any life born in the chaotic sea of time and space, because it was born from that great being called "Chaos," can never control the power of that great being, just as a lower-level being cannot control anything of a higher level.
The birth or resurgence of that power can only mean one thing: the master of the entire chaotic sea of time and space is about to awaken!
Whether it was His natural revival or the work of the "third kind," it doesn't change this fact.
"I believe you already anticipated this."
The inner demon, the Yellow Bracelet, continued, "That chaotic being who once transformed into the entire chaotic sea of spacetime is about to awaken!"
"But what does that have to do with saving my life?" The ancient Void Dragon Elder's voice boomed as he retorted, "Even if that great being were to reawaken and re-revive, the first to suffer would be you and the being behind you. Rather, if I were to betray them, I would be the first to be destroyed by that great being, wouldn't I?"
“You still don’t understand.” The Heart Demon Yellow Bracelet sighed and looked at the Void Dragon Elder. “What I want to say is that if we want to save your life, the only way is to prevent that great being called Chaos from waking up!”
If the ancient being of the World Alliance were standing before me right now, I would not utter a single word, but would simply offer my neck for slaughter—for once that ancient being known as Chaos awakens, he will be their strongest support.
"Oh?" The ancient Void Dragon Elder suddenly heard something he didn't want to hear and sneered, "Apart from our different factions, we are of the same origin. What difference is there between us?"
"What's the difference?"
Upon hearing this, the inner demon Huang Zhuo laughed.
"Throughout these endless ages, how many atrocities have you and those ancient hunters committed? Don't you... understand?" (End of Chapter)
