"I won't let you off!"
The black-robed Emperor's heart was in a state of complete panic.
Although he had grasped Ning's weakness, it wasn't Ning's fatal weakness. If Ning really wanted to, he wouldn't be able to harm Ning no matter what he did in the Primal Chaos.
However, the method Absolute Beginning had given him was a fatal weakness. He was the will of the prime essences of the Emperor Chaosverse. He was innately powerful, but he had a weakness that wasn't a weakness. Once the Emperor Chaosverse was destroyed, he would definitely perish.
If it wasn't for Wanjie Lou, there would be no one in the Desolate Era world capable of destroying the Emperor Chaosverse. This was why the black-robed Emperor had forgotten about this weakness.
Now that Absolute Beginning had mentioned it, the black-robed Emperor felt as though a heavenly blade was hanging over his head, ready to descend upon it at any moment.
In addition, it seemed as though all living beings of the Primal Chaos world were capable of wielding this heavenly blade and dealing him a fatal blow.
"Do you think I'll perish first? Or will you? Ahahaha … "
Absolute Beginning roared with laughter when he saw how embarrassed the black-robed Emperor was, a smug look on his face.
The black-robed emperor's sudden appearance had given him a great deal of pressure, leaving him panic-stricken and uneasy. Now, he was able to counterattack, firmly suppressing the black-robed emperor, completely occupying the upper hand. This reversal of the situation greatly satisfied his mind.
"Perhaps you won't die, because the Emperor Chaosverse is incredibly vast and incredibly powerful. Ji Ning isn't able to afford a treasure capable of destroying the Emperor Chaosverse, and so he'll only weaken you bit by bit and destroy you bit by bit. I really want to see you suffer a fate worse than death."
He was like the King of Hell, pronouncing the black-robed Emperor's fate.
"Don't worry. I'll come visit you often."
He was the Lord of the Sith Chaosverse, and he knew how powerful the Emperor Chaosverse was. Only a large amount of top-tier Transcendent-class poisons would be able to destroy it.
Still … that was enough.
If the Emperor Chaosverse was damaged, the black-robed Emperor would be heavily injured as well. By then, he probably wouldn't even be able to fully control the Emperor Chaosverse, much less interfere with the other Chaosverses.
All he had to do was periodically send poison to the Emperor Chaosverse, causing it to be constantly damaged. Then, the black-robed Emperor would no longer be a threat to him.
Although he was a Lord of Primordial Chaos, he didn't need to strengthen the Sith Chaosverse if he wanted to grow stronger.
If the black-robed Emperor wanted to get stronger, there was only one path he could take: make the Emperor Chaosverse even stronger.
If he wanted to make a vast Chaosverse stronger, he would need an ocean's worth of resources. In fact, he would need thousands or even tens of thousands of times more resources than he would need to break through to the same level.
In this state, even if he died a few more times, the black-robed emperor's strength would rise faster than the black-robed emperor's.
"I won't let you succeed!"
The black-robed Emperor's entire body was trembling. He was enraged to the extreme, and he wanted nothing more than to send the Emperor Chaosverse smashing into the Sith Chaosverse and taking Archimonde down with him.
"Kneel down and beg me. Perhaps I can persuade Ji Ning to show mercy."
[The Beginning] retracted the smile on his face and said coldly.
In the last epoch, he had knelt at the feet of the black-robed emperor for far too long. In this epoch, if the black-robed emperor could kneel and tremble at his feet, he would be able to wash away some of the humiliating memories in his mind.
"I am the lifeform of the prime will of the universe. I am the most exalted existence in the universe. An ant like you wants me to kneel before you? It's hard to say who will win."
The black-robed Emperor felt a bit of regret in his heart. He should've stayed hidden behind the scenes and waited for the Emperor Chaosverse to grow to its peak before coming out. Now, he had been repeatedly humiliated by Ning and Archimonde, especially by Archimonde, who had actually dared to ask him to kneel.
Even if he died, he would drag Archimonde down with him.
"I forgot to tell you, but I'm planning to go into secluded meditation. I'll probably spend a month here at Wanjie Lou. I wonder if you'll be able to hold out for a month?"
Archimonde had a playful look on his face.
He knew that he was weaker than the black-robed Emperor, but the black-robed Emperor's weakness was far too obvious. If he dragged things out, he would be able to drag things out until the black-robed Emperor died.
The black-robed Emperor was speechless.
"All of the items that are capable of causing damage to a world on the level of the Emperor Chaosverse are on the sixth floor of Wanjie Lou. There are many items there that satisfy your requirements."
Ensio's gaze moved from the ferocious-looking black-robed emperor to the calm-looking Ning, who had a calm look on his face.
He had to act quickly. If he dragged things out for a few more days, the black-robed Emperor might actually be able to turn the tables on him.
Once the Emperor Chaosverse reached a certain level of power, it would be able to repair any damage it suffered even if it used some Transcendent poisons or World Shatterer substances.
Or perhaps once the Emperor Chaosverse reached an even higher level of power, Ning wouldn't be able to afford the necessary items.
In addition, he couldn't allow Ning to learn too much about Wanjie Lou. That was to prevent Ning from discovering another of his schemes.
Once Ning released a special substance capable of annihilating Heaven and Earth into the Emperor Chaosverse, the Emperor Chaosverse would be severely damaged and countless living beings would perish. The Myriad Worlds Tavern would definitely punish Ning, killing two birds with one stone. Ning's two greatest foes in his original world would both be wiped out.
"We'll split the price in half."
Ning replied calmly upon hearing Archimonde's words.
The black-robed Emperor was an enormous threat to him. To Archimonde, he was an enormous threat as well. If he wanted to get rid of this threat, he couldn't be the only one paying the price.
"What did you say?!"
Archimonde felt as though he had misheard Ning. How could Ning dare to negotiate terms with him at a time like this?
"I know your past. Are you really going to just stand by and watch as the black-robed Emperor captures your friends and family and brings them to Wanjie Lou to be sold?"
Archimonde said confidently.
Before the black-robed Emperor had appeared, Ning had been the greatest threat to Archimonde in his original world. Archimonde had naturally done a thorough investigation of Ning's background and knew what Ning's personality was like.
"Do you think the black-robed Emperor hates me more, or does he hate you more?"
Ning had a calm look on his face as he asked this question.
Although he didn't know what Archimonde was plotting, he still had the feeling that something was off.
"There's no way I'm going to give you a single point of value."
Archimonde didn't hesitate at all.
The black-robed Emperor didn't have anything that could threaten him. Archimonde was able to buy some time, but Ning wouldn't be able to hold on for much longer.
"Black-robed Emperor, are you really going to capture my friends and family?"
Ning's calm gaze turned towards the black-robed Emperor as he spoke coldly.
"Ji Ning, I was just spouting nonsense. I swear in the name of Wanjie Lou that I definitely won't act against your friends and family."
When the black-robed Emperor heard this, his heart skipped a beat. He was filled with joy. He had discovered that there was a great deal of wariness between Ning and Archimonde.
Ning wasn't willing to fight against him by himself, while Archimonde was confident that there was no threat to him in the original world. Now that he had promised not to harm Ning's friends and family, Archimonde would be able to eliminate all of Ning's worries in the original world and give Ning and Archimonde the same benefits.
Given the current situation, he now had a sliver of a chance at survival.
Previously, Archimonde had rejected him so decisively. If Archimonde and Ning wanted to work together again, they would need some time to negotiate. That would give Archimonde more than enough time to develop.
"You are inviting calamity upon yourself."
Archimonde's face was ashen.
Things had developed in a completely different way than he had expected. They weren't going according to his script at all.
"I'm willing to pay half of the value."
Archimonde gritted his teeth.
It would be worth it to use half of the value to get rid of two of the enormous dangers of the original world.
"I've changed my mind. I'm planning to stroll through Wanjie Lou for a bit. We'll discuss everything else in a few days."
A hint of surprise flashed through Ning's eyes. Archimonde had agreed far too quickly. After saying these words, he turned and left.
There had to be some reason why Archimonde had asked him to do this. He had to figure out what sort of scheme was involved. Otherwise, Archimonde might end up using him against him.
Archimonde was speechless.
"Mr. Shen, can I purchase the right to enter the Emperor Chaosverse? Can I forbid Archimonde, Ji Ning, and anything else related to them from entering the Emperor Chaosverse? If there are other living beings in the original world, I'll forbid them from entering as well. "
The black-robed Emperor watched as Ning departed, a look of delight on his face. He swept his icy gaze towards Shen Wansan, then turned to face Shen Wansan, a smile appearing on his face once more as he spoke. "What do you think?" Shen Wansan asked.
Archimonde was speechless.
