"Let's wait and see."
Fairy Bi furrowed her brows with a worried expression.
Su Ping could tell that she wasn't worried that the artifacts would fail, but that the Ascendant State warriors would actually destroy the Immortal King's body.
"I dug a hole for myself." Su Ping smiled bitterly. He wouldn't have brought this up if he had known. He would rather have asked Fairy Bi to take him to other places than to watch the battle.
There were treasures everywhere in the residence. Su Ping didn't have any regrets if he couldn't get the legacy. Only the protagonists in novels would be able to get all the benefits if they could steal something right under the nose of three Ascendant State warriors. It was impossible in real life.
Since Fairy Bi wanted to watch, Su Ping couldn't get rid of her. He heaved a sigh and continued to watch.
Soon, there was a change in the battle. The formation that the seven or eight artifacts were struggling to maintain showed a flaw. The three Ascendant State warriors and their battle pets created a hole in it. Soon, one of the swords that was enshrouded in divine aura was struck by one of the Ascendant State warriors. It was sent flying tens of thousands of meters away.
The three Ascendant State warriors took advantage of the situation and chased after the other artifacts. They were badly damaged and overflowing with divine aura.
"Fairy Bi, let's retreat first. If they find us, you won't be able to escape, either," Su Ping advised.
Fairy Bi also knew that the situation was hopeless. Her eyes were filled with sorrow. She sighed. "I have the Seven Realms Divine Concealment Art that the Immortal King taught me. Normal Golden Immortals won't be able to find me … Never mind, I'll go take a look at the crater and leave."
"Okay."
Su Ping was relieved to see that she was finally persuaded.
Fairy Bi released a mist-like energy that enveloped Su Ping. Then, she turned around and flew away.
When they turned around, the Celestial Artifacts behind them were gradually knocked down and subdued by the three Deity Ascension Realm cultivators. Each of them was put into their own small worlds.
Whoosh!
The scene in front of Su Ping changed. The palace that had been enshrouded in divine aura was gone, and what appeared in front of him was an ancient battlefield in the void.
Corpses lay everywhere in the void, as if they had been frozen in time.
Many of the corpses belonged to ancient deities, warriors that had once served under the Immortal King Mu. There were also many beasts. Some were spirit beasts that had been subdued and enslaved, while others were monsters that had invaded.
Su Ping also saw the corpses of Abyssal Bugs.
This bug race was extremely huge, as tall as a two-story building. Its body was covered in a scarlet-gold malevolent golden armor. At this moment, the armor was shattered, and the bug wings were broken.
There were also many scattered and broken artifacts floating in the air. Some of the blades were broken, and some of the handles of the hammers were broken. It wasn't hard to imagine how fierce the battle had been.
At the end of the battlefield was a person.
Su Ping felt as if he had seen ten thousand years in a single glance.
It was an extremely tall and majestic giant. He stood straight like a mountain, with his feet on the ground and his head in the sky. He was holding up the sky with the supreme strength on his back!
His head was lowered, and his hair was messy. His ancient armor was broken, and there were countless scars on it.
Even though there was no sign of life in the giant, Su Ping felt that he was still standing there, as if he were still in the river of time, immortal and indestructible!
Thump, thump!
Su Ping felt his heart was beating against his will. He felt as if he had met an elder of the Golden Crows, but it was even stronger. That was because the elder of the Golden Crows had restrained his aura when facing him. Even though the giant had passed away, there was still a terrifying celestial might in his body!
"Lord Celestial King …"
Fairy Bi trembled the moment she saw the giant, and tears welled up in her eyes.
The countless scars on the giant's body made her heart ache and ache. She was the one who charged forward in that battle, and then the Celestial King called her back because she was injured. He ordered her to stay in the Hall of Alchemy and wait for the result.
She waited for tens of millions of years!
And the result … was that he was no longer there.
"You told me to wait, and I waited …" Fairy Bi bit her lips. Tears had already dyed her cheeks, and her eyes were filled with endless sorrow.
"You promised me that you would take me to the Divine Cloud Realm, and take me to the Thundercloud Realm to eat candied fruits …" Fairy Bi covered her chest. Her heart ached so much that she found it hard to breathe.
There was a kind of heartache that she could feel her heart twitching in pain!
It was as if all the nerves in her body were affected, and the pain was so intense that her limbs couldn't help but curl up!
Fairy Bi bent over, and her tears flowed silently.
Su Ping stared at the Pill Fairy, who had been ethereal and otherworldly a moment ago. He was in a trance. He couldn't imagine how deep the bond of tens of millions of years was.
This kind of parting, how painful would it be!
But he knew that it must have been engraved in her bones, or even in the depths of her soul!
Su Ping didn't say anything. He didn't comfort her. He knew that any words of comfort would be futile.
This indomitable giant was Immortal King Mu, the owner of this Immortal Abode, a supreme powerhouse of the Immortal State!
Even after tens of millions of years had passed, nothing could conceal his awe-inspiring presence!
Soon, Su Ping noticed that some dark shadows were spreading out from the void behind the Death Deity. There seemed to be a huge hole there.
Su Ping couldn't help but ask, "Is that a pit?"
Fairy Bi was too grieved to hear Su Ping's question.
Su Ping didn't disturb her. He looked around and immediately aimed at the bodies of the insects. He summoned the Green-shelled Abyss Bug and said, "I remember that you like to kill your own kind. Let's go and have a taste."
The Deep Abyss Green-Shelled Insect was startled by the magnificent body of the Twilight Deity as soon as it came out. It was only after realizing that the latter was dead that it heaved a sigh of relief. The Deep Abyss Green-Shelled Insect rolled its eyes and saw the corpses of its brethren. Its eyes widened in disbelief.
Soon, that shock turned into ecstasy. The Green-shelled Abyss Bug dashed to the nearest golden-shelled insect and started gnawing on it.
The Green-shelled Abyss Bug started tearing at its broken internal organs. However, those organs were extremely tough. The Green-shelled Abyss Bug had a hard time eating them, as if they were beef that couldn't be chewed through.
Still, the Green-shelled Abyss Bug was smart enough to swallow it without chewing too much. After all, the acid in its stomach was much more terrifying than its sharp teeth.
"Huh?"
Right at that moment, Su Ping suddenly felt a strong force pushing toward him. He was so shocked that his hair stood on end. He quickly turned around, but he couldn't see anything.
"Senior, the three invaders are probably coming!"
Even though he couldn't see their figures, Su Ping could guess that apart from the three Ascendant State powerhouses, who else could run amok in the divine residence?
The other party was like a star, creating a huge driving force with their movements, while he was just a speck of dust.
If it weren't for Fairy Bi's concealment skills, Su Ping reckoned that he would have been exposed to the three Ascendant State powerhouses.
Hearing Su Ping's anxious voice, Fairy Bi woke up from her sadness. Her expression changed, and she made a decision in a split second. She also sensed the situation around her.
Whoosh!
The Green-shelled Abyss Bug that was gnawing on the golden-shelled insect's corpse disappeared together with the bug's corpse. It was several times faster than when Su Ping summoned it back!
At the same time, she disappeared with Su Ping, and then appeared in the broken body of a dragon corpse.
Less than three seconds after they disappeared, several figures whizzed over. It was the three Ascendant State powerhouses.
They still had battle pets with them, but those supporting battle pets had already been put away. Only battle pets at the Ascendant State accompanied them in case of sneak attacks.
"Huh?"
The person in the lead stopped at the edge of the battlefield. He looked over the corpse-strewn battlefield in front of him, but his brows were slightly furrowed. When he saw the majestic figure at the end of the battlefield, he couldn't help but change his expression. His eyes became much more solemn, but there was also a hint of surprise hidden in them.
The other two Ascendant State powerhouses reacted the same way. The three of them looked at each other and saw that they were on guard against each other.
One look and they could tell that the ancient figure was most likely a true supreme being that had surpassed the Ascendant State!
"This ancient corpse must be the master of the Divine Mansion."
"I didn't expect that it would still be so intimidating and bold after such a long time. It's truly everlasting!"
"This is the Supreme God State … a state that we can only look up to."
The three Ascendant State powerhouses looked at the Immortal King Mu's body with amazement and mixed feelings.
Even such a powerful being had died in the end.
"The two of you, this is the body of a Supreme God State powerhouse, and it's so well-preserved. There must be a great secret hidden in its body. Maybe we can peek at the secrets of the Immortal State cultivation through its body structure. Why don't we divide it into three so that we don't have to fight among ourselves and hurt our relationship!"
One of them, an old man with snow-white hair who looked very refined, said with a smile.
The other red-haired young man raised his eyebrows and said calmly, "It's so well-preserved. Wouldn't it be a pity if we destroyed it? Why don't we go in together and take a look, then we'll divide it. "
"That's great."
A girl with dark blue hair agreed. Her skin was as white as snow, and she had a cold arrogance that looked down on all things in the world. However, her eyes were deep as if she had experienced countless years.
They reached an agreement in an instant. Without further ado, the three of them dashed toward the Immortal King Mu's body.
They didn't try to hide anything during their conversation. Maybe they were too focused on the Immortal King Mu's body to pay attention to anything else. However, Su Ping heard their conversation. They were all speaking in the common language of the Federation.
"…"
Su Ping found it hard to describe. The Immortal King Mu must have been the most powerful person in the world when he was alive. How humiliating was it to have his body divided?
Still, Su Ping couldn't say anything. After all, the three Ascendant State warriors were there to hunt for treasures.
"What did they say?" Fairy Bi turned around and asked Su Ping.
She noticed the change in Su Ping's expression. She guessed that he could understand their language.
"Well …" Su Ping didn't know how to answer. Given Fairy Bi's feelings for the Immortal King Mu, she would probably be furious if she knew the three Ascendant State warriors.
If she were to rush out, not only would she not be able to escape, but he would also be buried with her.
After all, the Conferred God Realm expert allowed them to come in because he was sure that they could only pick up the trash on the outside. In the end, when he found out that he, a trash, had actually run so deep, he would definitely be searched inside and out and then killed!
"Well …"
While Su Ping was thinking about what to say, there was a deafening noise.
Su Ping and Fairy Bi looked over at the same time. They saw a burst of light coming from the Immortal King Mu's chest, shining on the outside. The damaged armor had reached its limit and shattered.
With a boom, a dragon roared as it charged out from the Immortal King's broken chest, and then it charged in again.
Su Ping was dumbfounded.
He had thought that the three of them would divide the spoils peacefully, since they had reached a consensus so quickly. He didn't think that a battle would break out as soon as they entered the Immortal King Mu's corpse.
Sure enough, no matter how high one's rank was, they couldn't control the treasures in front of them.
Sometimes, one's temperament had nothing to do with cultivation, just like how one's character had nothing to do with wealth.
