Chapter 5807: One Slash at the Throat
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Even he couldn’t accomplish it.
This time, they had intended to s.n.a.t.c.h the opponent’s treasure, but instead, one of their own allies perished first.
What a mess!
The other Universe Master at the Third Tribulation hadn’t yet grasped what had happened, standing still, bewildered.
Jian Wushuang, however, struck once more.
Tanlang reacted this time, swiftly disappearing and reappearing beside his companion. Unable to pull them away in time, they could only viciously kick their subordinate out of the range of the sword’s slash.
Mere evasion was futile.
Especially against Jian Wushuang’s sword, which was anything but slow!
Swis.h.!.+
The sword shadows twisted, still landing on the neck of that Universe Master at the Third Tribulation.
A sword to confer n.o.bility!
A splendid bloodline burst instantly.
“You!” Tanlang was completely furious, ready to strike at Jian Wushuang.
Elder Muchen and Jiuhu also reacted, arriving beside Jian Wushuang, facing Tanlang together.
Two swords, slaying two Universe Masters at the Third Tribulation.
And they hadn’t even revealed their true divine power yet.
This left Tanlang somewhat unable to fathom Jian Wushuang.
Elder Muchen’s divine power exceeded 400,000, and Jiuhu was nearly the same.
They just lacked a special treasure like the Soul Shocking Vine.
Now, with Jian Wushuang added into the mix.
Even if Tanlang had a trick up their sleeve, they dared not linger in the fight.
Just as Elder Muchen had said.
They hadn’t reached the true starting point yet.
Why exert so much effort?
“Hmph, you got lucky this time!” Tanlang snorted coldly, then turned around and left.
Jian Wushuang and the others naturally didn’t bother to chase after him.
Thus, the Celestial Wolf Secret Realm lost two powerful individuals.
However, this kind of loss wasn’t considered too significant.
The real cruelty lay ahead.
For now, it was just a minor skirmish.
Having solved the predicament, Elder Muchen breathed a sigh of relief.
“Wushuang, your strength seems to have increased a lot!” Elder Muchen’s eyes held some envy.
An Emperor, so powerful.
As long as Jian Wushuang reached the Tribulation Realm, there was no need to suppress his realm. He could cross three tribulations in a row and become the Master of the Universe.
He could even cross four tribulations.
Throughout various eras, there were plenty of such super geniuses.
Some even crossed five tribulations in a row.
And compared to Jian Wushuang, none of the rumored Emperors could surpa.s.s him.
If Jian Wushuang could end this Sacred a.s.sembly, obtain enough treasures, and break through the Tribulation Realm, it would be a witness to history.
Jian Wushuang’s expression remained unchanged as he calmly said, “Let’s leave quickly. We’re still some distance away from the departure point of the Infinite Great World. We can’t waste any more time here.”
“Mm!”
The three headed towards the valley where Wu Li was.
Here, everything returned to calm.
Outside.
There were still many powerful individuals observing this battle.
When they saw Jian Wushuang decisively slay two Universe Masters at the Third Tribulation, they began to investigate his ident.i.ty.
“What? He’s actually an Emperor?”
Many couldn’t help but exclaim in astonishment!
An Emperor, effortlessly slew two Universe Masters.
Such an occurrence was akin to legend.
Today, they actually witnessed it with their own eyes.
“Haha, we, the pride of the Sixteen Kingdoms, are all like this. I wonder if you’re afraid or not!” a Scattered Tribulation powerhouse intentionally provoked the experts from various realms.
The observing experts split into two factions.
Only the Ancient Wood Sect’s experts watched with indifference.
They had long been aware of Jian Wushuang’s strength.
They just hadn’t extended an olive branch to recruit Jian Wushuang yet.
This time, however, presented an opportunity.
Of course, they had to wait for Jian Wushuang to come out alive.
At the edge of the Infinite Great World.
An entire mountain range served as a natural barrier for the Infinite Great World.
After meeting with Wu Li and the others, Jian Wushuang and his group began to rush at full speed. They had now reached the edge of the mountain range.
The gathering point was already very close.
Along the way, they encountered quite a bit of trouble.
They encountered many savage beasts at the Tribulation Realm, but fortunately, their strength was not strong. With only 200,000 to 3000,000 divine power, they could be easily killed with a flick of their hands.
Just as they were about to leave the mountain range, the token on Jinchen’s body suddenly reacted.
“A special mission?”
Wu Li and Elder Muchen said simultaneously.
Jian Wushuang looked puzzledly at the two, unaware of what was happening.
At this moment, Jiuhu beside him spoke up, “It seems that our luck is turning for the better. Unexpectedly, before reaching the depths of the Infinite Great World, we can receive a special mission issued by the Ancient Wood Sect!”
“Unfortunately, it’s only the Emperor’s special mission. I wonder if there will be any rewards!” Elder Muchen couldn’t help feeling regretful. If a Universe Master received a special mission, they would make a fortune.
Wu Li quickly reminded Jinchen, “Princess, quickly check how many-star mission it is!”
“Five stars!” Jin Chen was a bit confused by this, still somewhat surprised at why everyone seemed so astonished.
Hearing it was a five-star mission, everyone was completely stunned.
Wu Li couldn’t contain his excitement, “This time we’re really lucky! Even though it’s Emperor’s special mission, with five stars, the treasures we’ll get won’t be ordinary. There’s a good chance we’ll also get a pre-scouting map!”
“A pre-scouting map, what’s that?” Jian Wushuang seized on the key point, finally interjecting.
Elder Muchen then explained to him and Jinchen some of the strange a.s.sessments in the Holy a.s.sembly.
The tokens given to them were not for communication purposes.
Their main use was to distribute tasks.
The one given to the Emperor was the Emperor’s task, which only the Emperor could complete.
And the tasks were divided into a total of six stars.
There was only one task with six stars throughout the entire a.s.sessment.
And the rewards were also the greatest.
Not only could they obtain some rare treasures, but they could also get a pre-scouting map.
The pre-scouting map represented the map route of their world.
The routes marked on it were generally safe routes.
With a secure route in hand, they could reach the finish line at the fastest speed possible.
The special missions for six-star ranks would definitely yield pre-scouting maps.
For five-star ranks, there was only a 50 percent chance of getting a pre-scouting map.
Missions were also categorized.
Special missions were issued to individuals and could also be explored with companions.
Group missions were usually randomly a.s.signed to strong individuals in a certain area, and anyone could receive the mission.
However, group missions were too risky.
In a region, there were at least thousands of strong individuals.
A thousand people gathering together, competing at the same time.
The probability was too small.
Special missions were known only to their own people and were almost guaranteed to be completed.
“Since it’s so important, why not inform…” Princess Jinchen’s words were interrupted by Jian Wushuang beside her.
“No, since it’s the Emperor’s special mission, we can handle it ourselves. Notifying Her Majesty won’t help. Instead, it will alert the enemy. By now, Her Majesty and her entourage should have reached the a.s.sembly point. It’s crowded there, and if Her Majesty acts rashly, she will surely attract attention. It’s not worth the risk!”
Elder Muchen nodded in agreement, saying, “Nephew Jian Wushuang is right. We shouldn’t inform Her Majesty. Since it’s the Emperor’s special mission, you and Wushuang should be able to complete it!”
