Chapter 1431 – 9: The Trap (Part 2)
Lord Huang Feng’s expression was grim. His exploration gains this time only amounted to roughly two million jin of Time Sand.
But the other party actually demanded he bring out five million jin of Time Sand?
“We’re not asking for much.”
The leading dark shadowy figure looked at Lord Huang Feng. “To forge your main battle body, it would cost at least eight million jin of Time Sand, plus the time needed for the process…”
“Then five million jin of Time Sand it is.”
Lord Huang Feng was silent for a moment, then nodded and said.
“There’s also one more condition we have.”
The leading dark shadowy figure suddenly said.
“Speak.”
Lord Huang Feng frowned but did not object.
“You must swear by the Path of Transcendence not to reveal any information about us.”
The leading dark shadow said.
“No problem.”
Lord Huang Feng said.
This wasn’t hard to do. Even if the dark figures hadn’t demanded it, he wouldn’t spread the word.
The pit he fell into was of little benefit if other lords avoid it, bringing no advantage to Lord Huang Feng.
…
Soon.
The deal was completed between both parties.
Of course, it was concluded outside.
As for within the multiverse space-time? Lord Huang Feng wasn’t carrying many treasures, and anything valuable had already been given away.
This was why the three dark figures didn’t act directly but instead chose to initiate a transaction.
The most valuable thing Lord Huang Feng possessed was his main battle body, and the main battle body could be obliterated with a thought.
If the three dark figures acted directly, they wouldn’t gain much in practice.
…
After Lord Huang Feng left.
The mountain that had trapped him disappeared into thin air.
“Which three lords could it be… Lords of such strength, there aren’t many?” Lord Huang Feng quickly distanced himself, thoughts flashing through his mind.
…
In a hidden space.
Three dark figures appeared.
The darkness receded, revealing three Time Lords.
The leading figure had bright red hair, its aura muddy and viscous, constantly eroding the surrounding space-time.
The other two Time Lords, one entirely clad in scales, the other of a phantom-like form, not resembling a physical body.
“Hahaha, another five million jin of Time Sand in our hands.”
The scaly Time Lord’s face broke into a smile, clearly in good spirits.
To a lord beneath the Legendary Lord level, five million jin of Time Sand was no small number.
“That Lord Huang Feng isn’t strong. Demanding five million jin of Time Sand was already the limit. Asking for more might force him to fight to the death.”
The phantom-like Time Lord on the right said.
“Understood.”
The scaly Time Lord nodded, then sighed, “Only within this multiverse space-time, could we act this way.”
In the outside world, with Time Lords able to examine the future timelines, it would never be so easy for them to fall into a trap.
Within the multiverse space-time, with limited time and other lords of similar rank as competitors… Under many conditions, their ambushes have yielded great results.
“With our strength, along with the weapons we carry, who can oppose us if the Legendary Lord doesn’t show up?”
The scaly Time Lord spoke with confidence.
Carrying powerful weaponry certainly increases the risk.
But the benefits are equally obvious.
For a lord, wielding a powerful weapon significantly boosts combat power.
“Besides, even encountering a Legendary Lord, with our big brother here, we’re not afraid either.” The scaly Time Lord glanced at the red-haired leading figure.
Time Lords can observe both the past and future, as well as travel to them.
However, most Time Lords travel to the past. As for the future? There are too many variables, and it offers little help in transcendence. Lords adept in future methods are extremely rare.
And the red-haired Time Lord specializes in future killing moves.
In his mastery of the future, he has even seen three hundred and sixty-two Great Cataclysm Cycles ahead, knowing he will become a Legendary Lord.
This is why the three dared to bring weaponry into the multiverse space-time.
Lords beneath the Legendary level are not their match, and even against a Legendary Lord? They have the ability to resist.
“Yes, if really pushed, our big brother could summon his future self as a Legendary Lord, who could stop that?” The phantom-like Time Lord said.
Current space-time lords can travel to the past and thus change it.
For future space-time lords, traveling to the current space-time is akin to their past.
Lords can generally see their future selves, but it holds little meaning.
Even Time Lords see only limited futures, one Great Cataclysm Cycle ahead, ten, a hundred…
Past a certain distant future, Time Lords struggle to involve themselves.
A future self within this range? How much stronger could it be than a current space-time lord?
Furthermore, a future self acting in the current space-time would be suppressed, unlikely to surpass a current space-time lord greatly.
Only a future self achieving a vast realm crossover can resist suppression and effectively act in the present.
Nevertheless, such a future self is… How many Great Cataclysm Cycles away?
Most Time Lords cannot even see such distant future selves, let alone sense or summon them.
“All right, time to go.”
At that moment, the red-haired Time Lord spoke.
After each successful trap set, they change location and alter the trap’s form.
This time it was a mountain, next time a lake, the one after that a barren hill…
In the deep multiverse space-time, the existence of a treasure is judged by aura, not form. As long as a mysterious aura emanates, there is a possibility a treasure is hidden within.
…
In a blink, a hundred years passed.
Lin Yuan’s Taiji Primordial Spirit continued exploring the multiverse space-time depths.
“Over there…”
Lin Yuan suddenly looked in a direction where the aura was boiling, as if multiple Time Lords were clashing.
Whoosh!
Lin Yuan immediately headed in that direction.
However.
By the time Lin Yuan arrived, he found the battle was almost over.
“Those who dare approach will be my enemies.” A towering Time Lord with a pair of gray horns exuded a terrifying aura, forcing more than ten Time Lords to retreat.
Behind the gray-horned Time Lord, there was an azure amber exuding a mysterious aura, suggesting the presence of a treasure within.
“Didn’t expect it to be this Lord.”
Lin Yuan, upon seeing the gray-horned Time Lord, immediately gave up on contesting.
This Lord is known as the Time Lord of Epoch. Over ten Great Cataclysm Cycles ago, he had already survived the last of one billion eight thousand tribulations, and now likely attempts the last three.
Lin Yuan glanced around, seeing the more than ten lords standing, having touched the threshold of the legend.
It was clear that before Lin Yuan arrived, the Time Lord of Epoch had battled these threshold-reaching lords and gained the upper hand, seizing the azure lake behind him.
“Too late.”
Lin Yuan sighed internally, having no intention towards the azure lake behind the Time Lord of Epoch.
To act now would require facing the Time Lord of Epoch alone. Lin Yuan lacked the confidence.
The Time Lord of Epoch’s suppression of more than ten near-legendary lords testified to his power.
Lin Yuan had no intention of challenging him.
“Hmph!”
Seeing no other lords approaching, the gray-horned Time Lord snorted coldly and turned towards the azure lake behind him.
“Such an aura…”
The Time Lord of Epoch’s gaze was full of desire as he swiftly moved towards the azure lake.
In the next moment.
The instant the Time Lord of Epoch touched the azure lake, he disappeared.
“The Time Lord of Epoch has entered?”
“Alas, who knows what treasure lies within.”
The more than ten defeated Time Lords conversed from afar.
However, due to their fear of the Time Lord of Epoch’s strength, none dared to approach at this time.
“Hmm?”
Lin Yuan’s eyes showed a hint of surprise. Vaguely, he detected a flicker of darkness within the azure lake the moment the Time Lord of Epoch disappeared.
