Chapter 1353 684: The Killing Was Done by Emperor's Fall, but Champion Gets the Blame (Part 2)

  • Next Chapter

Li Ye responded indifferently, "So, do you plan for me to collaborate with those two Forbidden Zones?"

"Not just them, but also the Throat of Gui Xu. As the nearest Forbidden Zone, the combat power and forces they've invested are no less than your Chaos Demon Army," said Kuixu Walker. "Guided and mediated by us, you will cooperate to develop this Land of Opportunity and eliminate that Variable!"

"Lord Di Yuan, we Heavenly Destiny Walkers, will not interfere with your opportunity acquisition and may even assist you to gain greater opportunities. Our sole request is to kill the Ninth Champion!"

"That's our only goal!"

"So please, put down hostility; the Forbidden Zone there will be handled by us."

In the original deductions from the Book of Destiny, three Forbidden Zone forces, two human forces, and several powerful human freelancer teams were supposed to compete for the opportunity here.

However, with the Variable's emergence, many paths of fate deduction were disrupted, becoming difficult to correct.

Those supposed to die haven't perished, the rising stars remain obscured, and events meant to occur haven't unfolded...

This chain reaction has made the future of the Land of Opportunity even more enigmatic.

Thus, the Chaos Force, which wasn't meant to interfere, was invited to intervene.

In the original plan, the Chaos Faction could only enjoy a sip of soup. But now, they can personally partake in the competition for opportunity. That's already a substantial concession.

"Lord Di Yuan, please, for the sake of the Book Holder's investment in you, assist us. We will also secure greater benefits for you," said Kuixu Walker.

"Greater benefits? Do you mean this Snake-man Civilization? That opportunity isn't enough. Instead, I might as well eliminate the Forbidden Zone forces to gain more," Li Ye pointed at the headless corpse beneath him, "They do carry quite the treasures."

"They also brought deadly weapons. Even if you possess the Chaos Holy Artifact, you cannot be so arrogant."

"Moreover, you underestimate the value of this opportunity. It represents the heritage of a powerful civilization, scattered across this continent, including the Snake-man, Bone People, Giants, and more. And we will assist you in accessing the very core of this heritage," said Kuixu Walker.

Bone People, Giants...and quite a few other Alien Race Civilizations' heritages?

Seeing Li Ye silent, Kuixu Walker continued, "You have witnessed the Ancient Heavenly Court's civilization depth, right? This civilization's foundation surpasses even that! It was its decline-era Remnant Clan that launched a grand expedition, sweeping through the Void Realm and destroying the Ancient Heavenly Court. Though they suffered great losses afterward, the expedition was halted, it nonetheless proves their might!"

Destroy the Ancient Heavenly Court... This investigation against the Mechanical God Core reveals.

The Alien Race's Silent Annihilation Civilization is closely tied to the Ancient Heavenly Court's fall.

Yet such a mighty Silent Annihilation Civilization was simply the Remnant Clan of another civilization's decline?

Li Ye inexplicably thought of that massive mechanical structure, like a star.

Is that what the so-called civilization heritage is? Would the Mechanical God Core influence that mega-structure?

"This is indeed enticing..." Li Ye posed as if in contemplation, seemingly swayed by these conditions. He then responded, "Unfortunately, I've already killed one of their Overlords. The enmity is forged."

"An Overlord's life, though precious, is not irreparable," Kuixu Walker said, glancing at those fearful and wary Desert Sea elites.

The sole remaining Desert Sea noble shouted, "If you want cooperation, let us leave first!"

This group had lost their only Overlord, with other fighting forces scattered within the underground palace.

Facing an Overlord and Emperor's Fall who annihilated the Overlord, their highest strength being the Sixth Sense, they could hardly muster any air of defiance.

"You came to kill me, yet wish to leave just like that?" Li Ye said softly, "Moreover, being so distant, the Desert Sea's main force could only sense the Overlord's fall, not knowing who struck. In the Land of Opportunity, anything can happen, isn't it?"

Kuixu Walker's expression shifted slightly, indeed...it wasn't a bad method. It could also fulfill Di Yuan's demands.

In reality, several individuals in the Desert Sea camp were prioritized to enter the core, whereas the demise of other less-important warriors was inconsequential.

Seeing their expressions change drastically, the Desert Sea noble instantly retreated.

The remaining Desert Sea warriors roared, charging towards Kuixu Walker and Li Ye.

Meanwhile, large swaths of time-infused sand spread, as the sand dispersed, the timeline of the entire stone chamber swiftly advanced with the aging, and decaying power blooming at this moment.

They were willing to sacrifice themselves to hinder in order to let the noble escape.

However, Kuixu Walker's speed was exceedingly swift. At the moment they acted, he was already in front of that noble.

The Desert Sea noble roared furiously, transforming into a flame giant in an instant.

Released flames burning life towards Kuixu Walker!

Path of Zero: Flame Disaster Avatar!

However, cold air surged from Kuixu Walker's body. Raising his hand, he clutched the flame giant's neck.

The next moment, the chill spread, the flame giant's fire rapidly extinguished, ultimately reverting to its original human form. The struggling body transform into an ice sculpture instantaneously.

Then it shattered violently.

'The one who killed me...' Desert Sea noble let out one last Spiritual Energy roar, attempting to warn comrades of the truth, yet Kuixu Walker raised a hand to shatter it.

The next moment, 'crack,' the ice sculpture fragmented. The head of the Desert Sea noble became mere dust.

The remaining Desert Sea warriors roared in shock and anger, "On the day we return..."

"In our Forbidden Zone, we..."

Before they could finish their threats, Kuixu Walker froze and shattered them too.

"You're indeed decisive, my ally," Li Ye admired Kuixu Walker's ruthlessness.

One moment discussing cooperation for mutual benefit, the next willing to silence permanently.

"Anyway, they wouldn't escape; your Legion is right behind. It's more convenient for me to act," Kuixu Walker responded indifferently, "Thus, no one will know about your enmity. We can entirely blame the Champion."

Oh, are you now trying to frame me right in front of me?

Well, it doesn't matter. It's not really blackmail.

"Champion... can you ensure he will come?" Li Ye asked.

"Pre-entry intelligence indicates that he might arrive here. His Mythical Mimicry resembles Kunpeng, extremely fast, possibly already arrived. Please be careful," Kuixu Walker said.

"It's uncertain...do you have any means of contact?" Li Ye walked towards Kuixu Walker and said, "The ark seems to be blocked."

"The Land of Opportunity has cut off all communications; even we can't contact the outside world," Kuixu Walker replied, "But currently, including me, two Starborne Walkers have entered the Land of Opportunity, and Lord Wei Yang, along with more walkers, will arrive soon."

Wei Yang? Another Supreme?

Li Ye wondered.

"What about the Eighth Generation Champion? How will you deal with him? If he arrives, your Lord Wei Yang might have to flee for his life too."

"On that front, rest assured. Lord Zi Shu will arrange everything," Kuixu Walker smiled, "The Eighth Generation Champion will not disrupt this plan."

Zi Shu has measures against the captain? Unfortunately, the information cannot be conveyed...

"Can you contact within the Land of Opportunity?" Li Ye asked, "If you have means, let me know, so I can gather the Legion. As allies, shouldn't you lend a hand?"

"Our communication methods require both parties to master the technology. Even if informed, you cannot gather your troops," Kuixu Walker said, "If needed, after leaving the underground palace, I'll help you contact another walker to find more Legions."

"Can't it be done now?" Li Ye urged.

Kuixu Walker replied helplessly, "You can contact after leaving the underground palace. Don't be so impatient..."

"So..." Li Ye smiled, "You can't contact them now either?"

Kuixu Walker showed doubt, the next moment, the sound of the death knell echoed in his mind!

Simultaneously, Li Ye's long spear, like a dragon, roared with a golden Dharma Image.

"Then die here too!"
