Chapter 538: Encountering Grand Emperor Igneous Again
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In the cosmos, the two Grand Emperors were already engaged in battle. The combat bodies of the two Grand Emperors combined already exceeded two light-years. Every time they expanded, mighty aftershocks spread in all directions, and countless planets were reduced to dust.
The two Grand Emperors were fighting over a new substance. It was vaguely hidden in a vortex spanning millions of kilometers, as if something was still being nurtured within.
However, just by looking at this aura, one could tell that it was definitely not an ordinary new substance. No wonder the two Grand Emperors were fighting.
Boom.
The two Grand Emperors clashed head-on again. There was no clear victor, and both retreated slightly.
“Grand Emperor Dragon Abyss, even if we fight for a few more years, we might not be able to determine the winner. I’m afraid such a huge commotion has already alarmed other Grand Emperors. You don’t want your efforts to be wasted either, do you? Why don’t we each take half of this new substance?”
Grand Emperor Iridescence’s eyes flickered. It was obvious that he no longer wanted to fight. He suggested that they each take half. If they continued fighting, it would probably really become a case of the wolf having the winning game while the shepherds quarreled.
He had no intention to be the shepherd.
Grand Emperor Dragon Abyss pondered for a while. Finally, he said in a low voice, “Grand Emperor Iridescence, I’m fine with taking half each, but who will keep the new substance?”
“Me, of course. I was the one who discovered this new substance.”
Grand Emperor Iridescence did not back off.
“Heh, Grand Emperor Iridescence, if you leave, who should I get it from? Would you even care if I destroy your Iridescence Sect? I think it’s best that I take care of the new substance.”
“You? Grand Emperor Dragon Abyss, there are three Grand Emperors near your Planet Dragon Abyss, and you’re on good terms with all of them. If you obtain the new substance, why would you give half of it to me?”
Of course Grand Emperor Iridescence was unwilling. They did not trust each other.
“Then we’ll divide it on the spot!”
“All right, we’ll divide it on the spot!”
Grand Emperor Dragon Abyss and Grand Emperor Iridescence immediately attacked. However, just as they were about to obtain the new substance, a figure suddenly appeared above the vortex.
“My apologies, Grand Emperors. I’ll be taking this new substance!”
Swoosh.
The figure grabbed the new substance, and their huge body retreated directly. In the blink of an eye, they had a great distance away.
“How dare you!”
“Grand Emperor Igneous, put down the new substance!”
Grand Emperor Dragon Abyss and Grand Emperor Iridescence were incomparably furious. They did not expect that the new substance would actually be obtained by Grand Emperor Igneous. They had been fighting for quite a while. This period of time was enough for some closer Grand Emperors to arrive.
The two of them were incomparably enraged. They never expected Grand Emperor Igneous to arrive so quickly. He had obtained the new substance before them, so they could only chase after him in a frenzy.
Unfortunately, Grand Emperor Igneous was faster. They could only watch helplessly as the distance between Grand Emperor Igneous and themselves widened.
“Huh?”
Grand Emperor Igneous was fleeing with all his might, but suddenly, he looked up and saw the two figures in front of him. His heart sank.
“Grand Emperor of Annihilation, Grand Emperor Scorpius.”
Grand Emperor Igneous wore a complicated expression. Why did he encounter the Grand Emperor of Annihilation both times?
It would have been fine if there was only Grand Emperor of Annihilation, but now, there was also Grand Emperor Scorpius.
“Haha, Grand Emperor Igneous, leave the new substance behind.”
Grand Emperor Scorpius suddenly used his combat body, and grabbed forcefully.
Bang.
The giant flaming palm of Grand Emperor Igneous clashed with it head-on, but both parties took a few steps back, neither gaining the upper hand. In particular, there was still the Grand Emperor of Annihilation staring threateningly at them from the side. Grand Emperor Igneous knew it would probably be very difficult to defend the new substance.
At this moment, Grand Emperor Dragon Abyss and Grand Emperor Iridescence were overjoyed. They had also rushed over. For a moment, four Grand Emperors surrounded Grand Emperor Igneous.
Grand Emperor Dragon Abyss and Grand Emperor Iridescence naturally saw Lin Feng and Grand Emperor Scorpius as well. Their hearts sank, but they did not dare to push Grand Emperor Igneous too far. What if Grand Emperor Igneous gave the new substance to Grand Emperor Scorpius and Grand Emperor of Annihilation in a fit of anger?
“Grand Emperor Igneous, what a coincidence. We meet again.”
Lin Feng gave a half-smile. On careful thought, he and Grand Emperor Igneous were really “destined” to cross paths with each other. They had encountered each other twice in a row, and both times, they were competing for new substances.
Grand Emperor Igneous looked around. He could not escape. With four Grand Emperors around, it would be very difficult for him to escape. He might even be severely injured and die.
He did not dare to take the risk!
“Among the four of you, who should I give the new substance to?”
Grand Emperor Igneous swept his gaze across the four of them.
Grand Emperor Iridescence suddenly spoke, “Grand Emperor Igneous, give me the new substance. We’ll join forces, and I’ll help you to get away! We’ll split the new substance fifty-fifty. How about that?”
“Heh, Grand Emperor Iridescence, who would believe you? You’ll help him get away? Do you actually think the three of us can’t trap you?”
Grand Emperor Dragon Abyss sneered, then said in a low voice, “Grand Emperor Igneous, perhaps you haven’t heard the news yet. The two people standing in front of you might really want to kill you.”
“Hmm? Why?”
A sharp glint flashed across Grand Emperor Igneous’s eyes, but he was also a little confused. He and Grand Emperor of Annihilation were only fighting for new substances at most, and he had no grudge against Grand Emperor Scorpius. Why would anyone want to kill him?
“Grand Emperor Igneous, it’s true that you have no grudge against them, but that’s not necessarily the case for Grand Emperor Guxi! Grand Emperor Guxi stood up for you, but the Grand Emperor of Annihilation and Grand Emperor Scorpius jointly killed him. This matter has already spread throughout the cosmos. How do you not know?”
“Grand Emperor Guxi is dead?”
Grand Emperor Igneous fell silent. He really did not know. However, he knew that the Grand Emperor Dragon Abyss would not lie to him. Moreover, while they had to confront Grand Emperor of Annihilation and Grand Emperor Scorpius, it was even less likely for Grand Emperor Dragon Abyss to lie.
Lin Feng and Grand Emperor Scorpius looked at each other. They did not expect that Grand Emperor Igneous still did not know about this. However, the two of them were already mentally prepared that Grand Emperor Igneous would find out sooner or later.
“Grand Emperor Igneous, if you want to avenge Grand Emperor Guxi, do it. I’ll be waiting!”
Lin Feng’s voice was cold as he admitted it to his face.
“Revenge? Why would I take revenge? Although Guxi and I got along well, we’re just acquaintances. His death was his fate to bear. I’ve long advised him not to be so hot-tempered. Even if you didn’t kill him today, he’ll be killed by other Grand Emperors in the future.”
Grand Emperor Igneous shook his head. He did not look sorrowful at all. This surprised Lin Feng instead.
“You don’t want to take revenge?”
“No. It’s not worth it to become enemies with a Grand Emperor over a dead friend!”
Lin Feng only stared at Grand Emperor Igneous, but Grand Emperor Igneous’s expression did not change at all, as if this was only natural.
“This is what Grand Emperors are like!”
Suddenly, Lin Feng heard the voice of Grand Emperor Scorpius. In the North River Galaxy, Grand Emperor Scorpius had seen only too many of such occurrences. Forget about Grand Emperors, such so-called friendships might be worthless even between Venerables and elementary planetary lifeforms.
“This is what Grand Emperors are like!”
Lin Feng repeated this sentence. He suddenly felt a little pity for Grand Emperor Guxi. He even felt that Grand Emperor Guxi’s death had really died in vain. Not only was Grand Emperor Guxi hot-tempered, he was a poor judge of character.
Lin Feng was mentally prepared to face the revenge of Grand Emperor Igneous. Yet now, Grand Emperor Igneous had no intention of taking revenge at all.
It was just like how Grand Emperor Igneous had turned around and left immediately after learning that Lin Feng had the combat power of a Grand Emperor, giving up on the giant flower. This was enough to show how “pragmatic” Grand Emperor Igneous was.
“Grand Emperor of Annihilation, since we are acquainted, you can have this new substance.”
Before Lin Feng could react, Grand Emperor Igneous threw the new substance over.
Swoosh.
The new substance was in his hand. There was no conspiracy. This was the new substance.
However, would Grand Emperor Igneous really be so generous as to give him the new substance?
For a moment, even Lin Feng himself was a little confused.
