Chapter 1004: Chapter 440: All Trump Cards Revealed (Part 2)

“Do you intend to take all the credit for yourself?”

Chu Xiu and Lilith both looked up, and not far from them stood a figure cloaked entirely in black robes, silently hovering in the cosmos at an unknown time.

Chu Xiu’s heart sank. The aura around this person was entirely restrained, not a hint could be felt even with a sweep of Divine Sense, resembling a stone. To be able to conceal his aura to this extent, this man must also be a formidable force!

From his words, it seemed this person also came to kill him!

“Ashtar is truly ruthless…” Chu Xiu could only maintain a bitter smile in his heart.

Meanwhile, Lilith’s expression turned unpleasant, and after a long pause, she coldly snorted, “You’re overthinking. I just happened to notice his heart waver, it’s the perfect timing to strike.”

“Keep an eye on him, this brat looks overly confident. He likely has some artifact to escape, don’t let him get away.”

“Oh?” the voice of the black-cloaked man carried a hint of mockery, “I can’t imagine how an Awakened from a Low Tier Civilization plans to escape the ‘Silent Judge’s’ grasp.”

“Could it be that your Power is insufficient to operate this Immortal Equipment?”

Lilith’s gaze turned menacing, “Wu, stop joking around. If you let him escape, neither of us will have it easy!”

The mention of this name made Chu Xiu’s heart skip a beat, recalling a person with this name when meeting the master of Mountain View Building!

Yet Wu didn’t respond to Lilith’s threat, instead brazenly sizing him up and chuckling quietly, “Strange, your aura seems a bit abnormal, could it be that you’ve been injured by this brat and used the Five-Person Mud Jar for a forced repair?”

“Though I don’t know how that brat did it, that’s not good news. You’ve seemingly used this Relic too many times today, beware of those with ill intentions exploiting you…”

Wu’s words made Lilith furious, “If you keep spouting nonsense, I’ll immediately stab this brat and fight you! Let’s see how much strength you street rat have!”

“How crude.” The black-robed man laughed lightly and started retreating slowly, “However… I’m indeed looking forward to crossing swords with you.”

His figure faded completely into the shadows once he finished speaking.

Beside him, Chu Xiu coldly watched their conversation, his mind racing for ways to escape.

Though the black-robed man’s figure vanished, his aura lingered nearby. Chu Xiu could feel a cold gaze perpetually fixed upon him.

From their dialogue, it was clear one good news was the Power of the Ancient God Relic couldn’t be used indefinitely. Lilith seemed to have repaired the heavy injury Chu Xiu inflicted, yet likely left behind some kind of hidden danger.

The bad news, however, was that this black-robed individual’s comprehensive strength was likely on par with Lilith, and though they had minor disagreements, they appeared to have already reached an accord.

No matter what happens afterward, Chu Xiu became their primary target!

“With an additional formidable enemy waiting for an opportunity, truly wanting to escape will rely solely on high-dimensional space.”

During the prior confrontation, his Divine Thought had already entered high-dimensional space. Borrowing ‘Emperor Xi’s Exploration Lamp’, he roughly determined the shortest path to the Civilization Domain.

It’s very brief, not exceeding five meters in high-dimensional space, and during this time, he spent a lot familiarizing himself with entering and exiting high-dimensional space. The time to charge into the Civilization Domain wouldn’t take more than 0.1 seconds.

Upon return to the camp, with the support of the Civilization Domain, there would be Zhang Zhengdao and three Array Maps guarding it!

Even speaking of 0.1 seconds, even 0.01 seconds would suffice for Lilith, a Tier mighty warrior to kill him several times!

“The first step must be to shake off the chains coiled around my Star Core…”

Using the same trick again was surely useless, Lilith wouldn’t be foolish enough to give him a second chance.

But Chu Xiu still had an unused trump card.

That was Tribulation Poison!

This unbeatable card, with the exception of its slow speed, had no flaws.

During the previous attack, Chu Xiu discovered that while the Immortal Equipment was extremely abnormal, it wasn’t completely without weaknesses, or rather, under the current circumstances wasn’t entirely without weaknesses.

Because Lilith, to obtain certain information from him, directed the ‘Silent Judge’ to command it not to kill Chu Xiu, but to first ‘judge’ whether Chu Xiu was lying.

So should Chu Xiu not lie, then to activate the ‘Silent Judge’, Lilith would need to reissue a command, having it transmitted via the chains to the dagger, triggering an attack.

Chu Xiu could even honestly answer a single question to gain some more time during the lie judgment process.

And therein lay Chu Xiu’s slim chance!

“Earlier when I shattered space, the Sword Qi aftermath heavily impacted the chains, obviously temporarily severing Lilith’s connection to the dagger…”

The chains from ‘Silent Judge’ didn’t have a tangible physical form, those grinding up his internal organs manifested instantly.

Hence, Chu Xiu reasoned that the materialized chains wouldn’t be very strong, likely sustained through a sort of “curse” connection, constantly rematerializing to maintain suppression over the struck victim.

“Directly attacking with Tribulation Poison is no good, it’s too slow…”

That’s why Chu Xiu chose to slash Lilith with Sword Qi previously.

“But using a tribulation to sever the chains’ connection might be feasible.”

“What’s left to guard against is…”
