Chapter 1480 - 1472: Envoy Gu’s Greed

Chapter 1480: Chapter 1472: Envoy Gu’s Greed

"How many volumes of the Dao Manuscript does the Qin Dynasty possess?"

Upon thinking of this, Protector You quickly inquired.

"Well..."

Luo Hou hesitated, his eyes flickering uncertainly before finally saying, "There should be four or five volumes!"

But his answer did not satisfy Protector You.

"Do not challenge my patience. I’ll give you one last chance to be honest!"

Protector You stared intently at Luo Hou, his gaze sharp like it could penetrate everything in the world and discern a person’s true thoughts.

A terrifying and vast oppressive force erupted from within him, nearly piercing through the Jiuli Universe, causing countless star rivers to tremble and billions of dead stars to turn to dust.

"Hmm?"

In the distant cosmos, a figure in a blood-red robe was crossing the universe.

Sensing the dreadful presence from afar, he paused, revealing a hint of surprise on his face, as he flew towards the Jiuli Universe.

Inside the Jiuli Universe, Luo Hou was under the pressure of Protector You, his soul trembling and crushed to the ground like dust, as humble as can be.

"In response to the senior, the Qin Dynasty holds the Dao Manuscript below the Creation Chapter; as for the Creation Chapter, it’s in my possession!"

This time, Luo Hou dared not be cunning and said tremblingly, "Senior, spare my life, I am willing to offer you the Dao Manuscript I hold!"

Upon saying this.

The surrounding pressure vanished rapidly like snow meeting the blazing sun.

Luo Hou breathed a sigh of relief, summoning a volume of the Dao Manuscript from the depths of his soul, letting it float in mid-air, radiating boundless Dao power, creating countless worlds in the surrounding void.

"It truly is the Creation Chapter of the Dao Manuscript!"

Protector You stared unwaveringly at the Dao Manuscript, his breath quickening, as it was his first time seeing the legendary Dao Manuscript, and the Origin Power it contained made his heart tremble.

It was a transcendence!

Surpassing everything!

Protector You slowly extended his trembling hands, attempting to peruse the Dao Manuscript.

"Stop!"

Suddenly, an overwhelming presence surged from the distant starry sky, followed by a hurried and ancient voice echoing throughout the Jiuli Universe.

Protector You’s face changed slightly, but he ignored it and continued reaching for the Dao Manuscript.

The first treasure of the boundless universe, how could it be handed over easily?

Moreover, who dares to seize what’s valued by the Immortal Treasure Pavilion?

"Courting death!"

The ancient voice resounded again, carrying a hint of anger.

As the words fell, the starry dome of the Jiuli Universe was torn by a grand force, filled with supreme aura that turned the starry sky into illusionary, quickly dissolving Origin Power.

A blood-red palm imprint descended from the starry dome, striking heavily on Protector You.

Bang!

With a muffled sound, Protector You’s sturdy tri-conscious body was directly shattered, leaving only a weakened soul, standing in terror.

He could be sure that the intruder was a martial artist at the Karma Realm.

The starry sky split open, and a figure in blood-red robes emerged, none other than the envoy from the Ten Thousand Slaughter Hall. With hands behind his back, he said to Protector You, "If you weren’t from the Immortal Treasure Pavilion, you’d already be dead."

Protector You bowed his head, not daring to retort.

As for Luo Hou, he was nearly shrinking his soul into a ball, muttering "can’t see me" repeatedly.

"Dao Manuscript!"

The envoy glanced at Luo Hou, ignored him, and looked intensely at the Dao Manuscript, gripping it in his hand and slowly opening it.

Instantly, countless golden Dao texts flew out, detailing the cultivation method of the Creation Realm, far more refined than all the cultivation techniques in the boundless universe.

The envoy studied these texts, becoming utterly immersed.

Frightening aura burst from his body in strands.

It continued to grow stronger.

"It truly deserves to be called the Dao Manuscript!"

After a long while, the envoy came back to his senses, a flash of brilliance in his eyes, exclaiming in shock.

He had just attempted to use the contents of the Creation Chapter of the Dao Manuscript to refine his realm and successfully identified several shortcomings in breaking through the Creation Realm, which boosted his strength by one percent after correction.

One percent!

For a martial artist at the Karma Realm, enhancing one’s power by a millionth is extremely challenging, often requiring prolonged seclusion.

Yet now, by merely reading the Creation Chapter of the Dao Manuscript once, countless years of painstaking cultivation were spared.

Undoubtedly the first treasure of the boundless universe!

Deservedly so!

"You mentioned that the Qin Dynasty has several volumes of the Dao Manuscript?"

The envoy raised his head, asking Protector You and Luo Hou with a calm yet irresistibly majestic voice.

"That’s correct!"

Luo Hou nodded, saying, "Dao Manuscripts from the Quasi-Saint Chapter to the Rule Chapter are all in the possession of the Qin Dynasty!"

Having already handed over the Creation Chapter of the Dao Manuscript, he had nothing left to hide, preferring to disclose the truth and provoke the envoy’s greed to destroy the Qin Dynasty.

Sure enough, upon hearing Luo Hou’s words, the envoy’s breathing noticeably quickened.

A single volume of the Dao Manuscript had enhanced his power by one percent.

Would more volumes of the Dao Manuscript enable him to transcend his current realm?

"I must acquire these volumes of the Dao Manuscript!"

With greed flashing in his eyes, the envoy silently resolved, clutching the Creation Chapter of the Dao Manuscript.

Unlike Protector You, he reacted differently upon learning about the Dao Manuscript, primarily because of his formidable strength, being at the mid-stage of the Karma Realm.

He harbored ambition to break through to the Order Realm!

And the Dao Manuscript was his sole choice.

Even if he couldn’t break through to the Order Realm, he could ascend further within the Karma Realm, and with the credited offering of the Dao Manuscript, he might attain a position as one of the three hall elders.

In short, he stood to gain significantly from obtaining the Dao Manuscript.

Afterwards, the envoy gazed at Luo Hou and Protector You, his expression uncertain, with murder intent yet more reservations.

"For the time being, stay put here!"

Determined, the envoy waved his right hand, unleashing a terrifying suction force that moved tens of thousands of stars nearby to serve as formation eyes, arranging a formidable array.

Having done so, he clapped his hands and turned to fly towards the Qin Dynasty.

He intended to eradicate Qin first!

Then seize the Dao Manuscript!

However, he failed to notice, not far in the starry sky stood two women, one tall with a white long dress, her hair cascading down her waist, bright eyes exhibiting a faint order power.

The other slightly taller than a child, with her hair styled in a bun, blinking adorably.

"Big sister, the master’s Dao Manuscript has appeared!"

The little girl tugged at the white-dressed woman, saying softly.

"I see it!"

The white-dressed woman nodded, speaking coldly, "Since the master chose him, let’s not interfere!"

"But his enemy is at the Karma Realm; what if he can’t withstand and gets crushed to death?" the little girl asked.

After a moment of silence, the white-dressed woman shook her head, saying, "We must trust the master! Let’s go back! The emergence of the Dao Manuscript will likely lead to chaos in the boundless universe; we need to focus on our own people..."

With that, she took the little girl’s hand and walked toward the extreme east.

They were swift.

In the blink of an eye, they traversed intermediate cosmic clusters, reaching advanced universes, as if transcending time and space.
