During the last era, he had served the black-robed emperor as the Sentinel of the Third Universe, Autarch Yin-Yang. He was extremely familiar with the emperor's temperament.
As soon as he had seen the black-robed emperor, he had been able to sense that the emperor's aura had completely changed. He had thought that the emperor's temperament had changed because of the death tribulation he had experienced during the last era.
However, through his conversation with Ning, Autarch could sense that the black-robed emperor's shrewdness and scheming hadn't changed much.
If he had been in Ning's position, he would've secretly captured Ning's friends and family and subjugated Ning in secret.
Right now, they were within the main hall of Wanjie Lou. Wanjie Lou's employees were watching from the sides. Any customer with even the slightest bit of self-respect wouldn't submit to a person like this.
In addition, for him to openly threaten other customers in front of Wanjie Lou's employees meant that he was testing Wanjie Lou's bottom line.
Wanjie Lou had punished a number of arrogant and tyrannical customers in the past. Some of the living beings who entered Wanjie Lou had committed atrocities in the original world, but almost all of them had been suppressed by Wanjie Lou.
Although this sort of behavior couldn't be completely eradicated, it had been a long time since Wanjie Lou's customers had seen someone as arrogant as the black-robed emperor.
If the black-robed emperor had secretly captured a few of Ning's friends and family, Wanjie Lou wouldn't have asked any questions.
The worlds Wanjie Lou had connected to were filled with endless slaughter every single day. Was Wanjie Lou really going to get involved in all of that?
However, the black-robed emperor had acted in such an overbearing manner in front of Wanjie Lou's employees. Every time a customer appeared, they would die.
The black-robed emperor of the last era had been arrogant and foolish, while the black-robed emperor before them had been vicious and foolish. His personality hadn't changed in any way for the better, nor had it changed in any way for the worse. However, his personality had truly changed. There was only one possibility; there were two black-robed emperors.
"I am the black-robed emperor. However, I am the new black-robed emperor. I am far superior to the idiots of the last era."
The black-robed emperor didn't deny it, instead directly admitting his identity.
He could tell that Taichu was planning to stand on the same side as Ning against him. Two ants who overestimated themselves.
"You are even more foolish than the black-robed emperor of the last era."
Hearing the black-robed Emperor admit that he wasn't the black-robed Emperor of the last era, Absolute Beginning breathed a sigh of relief. He no longer looked at the black-robed Emperor with fear in his eyes, only disdain.
Although he didn't know why the black-robed Emperor had the authority to control other Chaosverses, he was certain that the black-robed Emperor in front of him definitely wasn't like the black-robed Emperors of the last era, who had absolute control over the Chaosverse.
The black-robed Emperors of the previous era, when enraged, had been able to cause the entire world to explode. No one knew how this black-robed Emperor had been born, but the fact that he was unable to wipe away their truesouls in the Chaosverse was proof that he was unable to completely control the various Chaosverses.
"Tai Chu, you really deserve to die!"
The black-robed Emperor had a savage look on his face. How dare Tai Chu treat him with such disdain? Tai Chu was nothing more than a dog of the black-robed Emperor from the last era. How dare he do this?
He wanted to immediately flay Tai Chu alive, but he knew that Wanjie Lou wasn't the place to do so.
He wanted to infuriate Ning into attacking Wanjie Lou, then have Wanjie Lou suppress Ning. Perhaps Tai Chu was thinking the same thing.
"Whether or not I die isn't for you to decide. However, I can guarantee that you are definitely going to die!"
Tai Chu's face lit up with delight when he heard the notification from his magical handphone. He teased.
When he had received the notification from Wanjie Lou, he had sent one of the automatons he had purchased back to the Chaosverse to help him investigate the situation. Now, the automatons had sent him a message.
"I truly never would've imagined that you are actually the prime will of that unique universe. You must've sought Wanjie Lou's help, which is why that unique universe was able to be perfected in such a short period of time."
Tai Chu's Chaosverse disciple had completely calmed down. In fact, a hint of a smile even appeared on his face.
He had been the first to discover the existence of the Emperor Chaosverse, but it had still been in the process of evolving. In order to gain more power, he had been quietly waiting for it to be perfected. Given how quickly the Emperor Chaosverse had evolved, it would've taken hundreds of millions of years.
Now that the Emperor Chaosverse had suddenly been perfected and transformed into a Chaosverse that was even vaster than the other Nine Chaosverses, even an idiot like him would be able to figure out what was going on.
"Ugh. I thought you would be a worthy opponent, but who would've thought that you wouldn't even be able to withstand a single blow?"
A cold smile was on Tai Chu's face, and his words were filled with disdain towards the black-robed Emperor.
"You might be more powerful than me right now, but your weakness is far too obvious. You are the prime will of a universe. Tell me, if that newly evolved universe is destroyed, would you still be able to survive?"
The black-robed Emperor was the lifeform of the prime will of the Emperor Chaosverse. If the Emperor Chaosverse was destroyed, the black-robed Emperor would be nothing more than a body of energy. In fact, as soon as he returned to his original world, he would be obliterated by the Paramount Laws.
Otherwise, the black-robed Emperor of the previous era would've been able to split off one of his clones and escape from the vast world, then detonate the entire world.
"You …!"
Upon hearing Tai Chu's threat, the black-robed Emperor looked panicked. He forced himself to remain calm. "Do you really think you have the power to destroy the Emperor Chaosverse? You overestimate yourself."
"Of course I don't have the power, but Wanjie Lou does have the ability to destroy a Chaosverse."
Tai Chu said calmly.
His eyes seemed to be able to see the future, the destruction of the Emperor Chaosverse, the agonized screams of the black-robed Emperor as he died.
If the black-robed Emperor had been a Lord of Chaos, perhaps he would've been a bit worried. If he had been a Lord of Chaos, there was no way he would've been able to threaten the black-robed Emperor by destroying the Emperor Chaosverse.
Even if the Chaosverses they controlled were destroyed, they themselves wouldn't perish. At most, they would be dramatically weakened.
In this moment, the threat the black-robed Emperor posed to him was dramatically reduced. He was no longer as dangerous as Ning was to him.
However, the black-robed Emperor's threat was extremely urgent. If he wasn't able to deal with it in time, there would be no way out of this situation.
If he allowed the black-robed Emperor to recreate the vast world, then Tai Chu would no longer be able to destroy it. It wasn't that Wanjie Lou didn't have any goods that could satisfy the black-robed Emperor's requirements; it was that he couldn't afford them at all.
"Ji Ning, although you don't have any magic treasures on you, the techniques and secret arts you have can still be traded for some value. Wanjie Lou has quite a few Transcendent-class poisons. They might not be able to destroy a world, but they should be able to heavily damage it."
Tai Chu roared with laughter.
The reason he wanted to give this swift blade to Ning wasn't because he didn't want to enjoy the thrill of revenge; rather, it was because this was a devilish blade that would harm both sides.
If he used Wanjie Lou's poisons to destroy an entire universe, he would definitely be blamed by Wanjie Lou. In fact, he might even be executed. Once he attacked, both sides would suffer heavy losses.
However, to Ning, this devilish blade was a weapon that he could only dream of acquiring. It was completely capable of keeping the black-robed Emperor in check.
The black-robed Emperor's earlier threats to Ning had already ensured that the two sides would fight to the death. Even if there wasn't an opportunity, he would create an opportunity to kill the enemy.
Given the current situation, he could once more sit back and reap the rewards.
