Chapter 5820: Personally Taking Action

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Only a few paid attention to Jian Wushuang and his companions now; the gaze of the formidable was mostly fixed on the Shi Kingdom’s contingent.

On the outskirts of the Infinite Great World, where danger was sparse, his few battles had garnered some attention.

However, with all teams now entering the periphery of the Infinite Great World, and even venturing deeper into it, battles at the level of Fifth Tribulation had occurred hundreds of times.

There were hardly any who still cared about the exploits of an Emperor.

But the lack of attention on Jian Wushuang didn’t mean that no one was interested in others from the Yue Kingdom.

Take the Empress, for instance!

“That Empress of the Yue Kingdom is quite ruthless, abandoning even her own daughter and brother!” Many powerful beings kept a watchful eye on the Empress of the Yue Kingdom.

Being a popular candidate naturally drew considerable attention.

In the radiance of the Empress, Jian Wushuang seemed somewhat insignificant.

The Empress was truly dazzling now, secluded within a special hidden realm. It was a special mission entrusted to her by Jiuhu, of cosmic level danger.

Even with the Empress’s immense strength, caution was paramount.

Moreover, this time, she faced a task equivalent to five stars.

Once accomplished, her place among the top four would be secured, the prerequisite for contending for the final position of the Holy Maiden.

For this position, Empress Fengchen had prepared for countless epochs.

As her peers advanced to the level of Seventh Tribulation Universe Masters, she remained merely a Fifth Tribulation Universe Master.

Such a gap in strength was unbearable to someone with such strong pride.

This time, not only did she aim to become the Holy Maiden, but she also intended to make a breakthrough to the Sixth Tribulation level in the eyes of countless others.

By then, her name would resound throughout the Ancient Wood Continent, elevating the status of the Yue Kingdom to new heights.

This was not only her wish but also the expectation of the ancestors within the royal family.

For how many years had it been since the Yue Kingdom produced a Sixth Tribulations Universe Master?

“This time, it must be seized.”

Now, it seemed that the Empress had indeed seized it.

In that secret realm, she first stole the dragon egg, and then used it to lure out a Special Life Form.

That was the core of this mission.

Almost every special task could involve a bunch of strong individuals.

Her task was not to kill that Special Life Form, but to help the other seek revenge.

To assist the other in unifying that secret realm.

This difficulty was significant.

It wasn’t as simple as killing one or two Fifth Tribulation savage beasts.

It was about waging war in this secret realm for a period of time.

It might waste time, but once the mission was completed, she would obtain the pioneer map and the treasure of becoming a Holy Maiden.

These were worth her effort.

She just hadn’t expected how miserable those abandoned people would be now.

Li Sheng fell into a deep sleep.

Although he had special treasures, it would still take some time for him to recover.

Fortunately, when he returned, he brought materials from dozens of savage beasts.

These materials provided Jian Wushuang with an opportunity to practice.

Although the alchemy method was not perfect, he could still try to practice.

He didn’t expect to succeed in one try.

He couldn’t be too impatient.

Otherwise, all previous efforts would be in vain.

“You two, don’t just stand around. Help me suck out the demonic energy from those materials!” Jian Wushuang commanded the remaining two Universe Masters.

He alone was a bit overwhelmed.

Jinchen could only hurry to assist, unable to help much.

Several days passed.

He failed several times in succession.

The only successful attempt had the opposite effect of what he had expected from the medicine.

It turned the savage beasts into human medicines.

He could only start over.

But now the materials were running low.

Sending those two Universe Masters forward would be sending them to their deaths.

This time he had to go himself.

“You two stay here and wait. I’ll set up a barrier. Once touched, I’ll receive a message and rush back immediately. Don’t go out, if Wu Li comes back, tell him not to come in first, wait for me underwater!” Jian Wushuang instructed, then plunged into the pool.

Below the water pool, navigating through the jumble of rocks, he eventually reached the depths of the riverbed.

To be on the safe side, he didn’t stray too far.

He could only hunt some wild beasts in the vicinity.

That dragon should have gone far away.

But he couldn’t afford to be too careless.

The dragon’s speed was fast; even if it was far from him, it could quickly find him.

However, his divine power was different from others’.

He could completely restrain it.

This way, the dragon wouldn’t detect him.

Quickly searching for targets, because of his experience in refining pills, he knew which kind of wild beasts were more suitable.

“Let’s start with you!”

Jian Wushuang suppressed his breath, turning himself into a blue stream of air, drifting towards a strange-looking beast hidden in the distant water grass.

This savage beast had a divine power of up to 400,000, nearly breaking through to the Fourth Tribulation realm.

Its intelligence was no different from that of ordinary people.

But facing Jian Wushuang, it didn’t sense any danger at all.

Jian Wushuang silently appeared behind it.

Swish!

In an instant, his breath soared to 500,000, his hand forming a blade, and with a single slash, he directly split the strange savage beast into two halves, its Origin Source and divine power instantly weakening.

It died without knowing who struck it.

It could be considered a peaceful end.

Jian Wushuang waved his hand, collected the remains of the savage beast, and once again transformed his figure into a stream of air, searching for the next target.

According to his plan, gathering ten heads would be enough.

With another ten savage beasts, he could almost refine the conversion pill.

As long as he had the transformation pill, he would take Jinchen and leave this place.

He just didn’t know where Wu Li had gone.

But as long as the other party wasn’t dead, he could find him.

Guided by karma, the other party wasn’t too far from him.

As for the missing Muchen, he could sense that the other party should be on the riverbank, but his breath was continuously weakening, sometimes present, sometimes not. There was a high probability that he was trapped in some ruins.

Whether he could survive depended on his own luck.

He hadn’t intended to rescue them.

After the way they had betrayed him this time, Elder Muchen thought they deserved their fate, even if it meant his own death.

It was a perfect opportunity to offer himself up to the Yue Kingdom.

Deep in the valley far from the riverbank, Elder Muchen found himself truly trapped within an ancient relic.

Venturing into this place recklessly, he suddenly found himself unable to leave.

Furthermore, his divine power was cut off, leaving him utterly powerless.

Here, he was as if calling upon the heavens with no response, invoking the earth with no answer.

He could only grit his teeth and continue forward.

Initially, he had hoped to test his luck.

If, by chance, there were no dangers in the valley, he could safely endure until the Empress returned.

But luck wasn’t on his side. He hadn’t gone far before stumbling upon an ancient relic of a sect.

Though only remnants of its formations remained, with his meager strength, he couldn’t hope to break through.

Instead, he found himself sinking deeper and deeper.

Stopping was out of the question, yet he couldn’t resign himself to this fate. He wanted to take one more gamble.
