Chapter 433: Player of the Fourth Scourge (13)

The Golden Lion Emperor Venerable felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. He sensed that everything about him had nowhere to hide.

The inescapable net they had so confidently believed in, the seamless and meticulous plan, were nothing more than a self-congratulatory farce.

The Golden Lion Emperor Venerable had completely lost his earlier arrogance. At this moment, he had only one thought.

Demonstrate loyalty and thereby survive.

"Great one, I have been wronged... All of this was merely an excuse I used to stabilize the other rebirths... I never once intended to act against the great one!"

Su Chen remained unmoved, leaving the Golden Lion Emperor Venerable's heart ice-cold.

"If the great one does not believe me, I can dig out this heart for the great one to see. I am utterly loyal to the great one!"

"..."

Watching the Golden Lion Emperor Venerable, whose desire to live was extremely strong as he chattered on, Su Chen waved a hand.

This caused the Golden Lion Emperor Venerable to close his eyes in despair.

It's over!

Hmm?

He seemed not to have died.

"Open your mind."

The Golden Lion Emperor Venerable obediently opened his mind.

He felt... every secret from childhood to the present was laid bare. The sensation left him deeply uncomfortable, yet for the sake of his life he had no choice but to adapt.

"A restriction has already been planted within your divine sense. If you wish to resist... you should know the consequences."

The Golden Lion Emperor Venerable felt extremely aggrieved, yet realizing that this seemed better than death, he swallowed that grievance once more.

Thus an invisible crisis was resolved through the full surrender of the Rebirth Alliance.

Su Chen could once again develop in peace.

...

Within the Rebirth Alliance.

After the unremitting efforts of everyone present, the Golden Lion Emperor Venerable looked at the other rebirths.

Today was the day they would launch their plan!

Looking at the crowd, the Golden Lion Emperor Venerable sneered coldly in his heart.

"Stupid fools. This seat has long since become the great one's man."

At that moment, Xu Fei looked at the others with disdain. "With the likes of you lot wanting to act against Master, little do you know the plan has long since been known to Master. Once you make a move, I will become Master's greatest contributor!"

The other rebirths also had flickering gazes as they harbored their own schemes. All of this somehow formed a strange atmosphere.

"Make a move... the Federation people have already been drawn away."

"The Heart of Destruction has long been prepared."

"At this moment, that person should have entered the 'Mandate of Heaven' world and has no means of resistance."

"..."

Everyone looked at one another.

They stared blankly.

The stalemate did not last long before someone burst in. It was Xiao Yaozi.

Xiao Yaozi looked at the crowd and said, "Master has said there is no need for you to gather here any longer. You may leave."

The moment Xiao Yaozi's words fell, the crowd clasped their fists one after another and responded, "We obey the order."

"..."

Xiao Yaozi swept his gaze across everyone and then left.

After Xiao Yaozi departed, successive voices rose from the spot.

"You... you are also that great one's man?"

"I long ago sought refuge under that great one."

"Traitors! You bunch of traitors!"

"Xu Fei, don't think I didn't see it just now. You were the fastest to bend!"

"We are all on the same side. Don't harm the harmony. I never expected that everyone here, like this young master, possesses such foresight."

"..."

Everyone suddenly realized. So they were all on the same side.

That was fine then.

There was no need to fear exposure.

Yet... at that moment the gazes of the others all fell upon the Golden Lion Emperor Venerable.

"In truth... I have long since been Master's man. I even bear Master's blessing."

Seeing the situation, the Golden Lion Emperor Venerable no longer concealed it.

"Fortunately, I made the correct decision..."

The Golden Lion Emperor Venerable cursed inwardly. These fellows actually possessed so little backbone. They had agreed to join forces against the great demon lord.

Had he not knelt quickly enough, he would long since have been sold out by these people!

...

Regarding the fact that the entire Rebirth Alliance consisted of their own people, Su Chen could not be bothered to concern himself with their actions.

At present, Su Chen continuously farmed bosses and leveled up.

His level soared rapidly.

One-Tribulation Ruler... Two-Tribulation Ruler... Ten-Tribulation Ruler...

A thousand years had already passed since he stepped into the core region of the Federation.

In a mere thousand years, relying on the resources of those rebirths and continuously slaying numerous bosses, Su Chen's level in that short span surpassed the accumulation of others over tens of millions of years. His cultivation stepped into Twenty-Tribulation Ruler.

Such a leveling speed was simply shocking.

This was also the charm of the Fourth Scourge... As long as one possessed sufficient talent and strength, one could traverse in an extremely short time the path that others took millions or even tens of millions of years to complete. Of course, there was a price: the lack of a Dao Heart matching one's strength. This caused the powerhouses of the Fourth Scourge, aside from a rare few, to be far weaker than powerhouses of the same level who cultivated step by step across the heavens.

Even the rebirths lacked the firm conviction to compare with Su Chen. They could not even generate the thought of resistance... In their consciousness, Su Chen was simply too powerful, powerful beyond the possibility of victory.

Yet now, even if the rebirths generated thoughts of resistance, it was already too late.

Su Chen gazed upon this ancient divine realm. It was a divine realm the Federation had failed to conquer despite gnawing at it for a million years. Within it resided numerous powerhouses... those powerhouses were the so-called game bosses among the Players of the Fourth Scourge.

In this world, within a towering floating palace, a sacred figure opened his eyes.

"Could it be that the batch of extraterritorial heavenly demons from a hundred thousand years ago is about to make a comeback?"

Shi Nian recalled the great war of a hundred thousand years ago... The powerhouses of the Eternal Void Divine Realm had suffered countless casualties and still had not recovered.

Had it not been for his ability... perhaps the Eternal Void Divine Realm would have been completely destroyed in that war. Even so, an enormous price had been paid.

Before Shi Nian could think further, the endless living beings of the entire Eternal Void Divine Realm suddenly heard the sound of something shattering.

In the next moment, a storm swept across the entire Eternal Void Divine Realm!

"How could the divine realm barrier be broken so quickly?"

Shi Nian's eyes widened... Previously, when the extraterritorial heavenly demons invaded, they should have opened a small passage first and then probed step by step.

Why had the divine realm barrier suddenly shattered?
