Chapter 1000: Twists and turns!
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Killing intent thickened, and anyone could tell that the tragic death of Solo had enraged the even-tempered Old Crane. It had been so many years, and the conflict between the Founders had finally bubbled to a head! Even if he was facing Constant and his unparalleled might, there was not a hint of fear in Old Crane’s heart.
His aura told everyone that he was going all out!
Their energy auras clashed against each other intensely amid the galaxy of stars. On one side was Constant, the greatest existence amongst the thirteen Founders! On the other was Xia Gucheng and the three Founders, as well as the five Superior Law G.o.ds from the Skywing Clan!
There was no wind in s.p.a.ce, but the crazy aura from this clash of the strong was creating waves in the vast emptiness!
It was hard to imagine that the universe would preemptively stir in antic.i.p.ation of this fight between the sapient lifeforms!
This was the strength of these powerhouses!
Who said that humans were an insignificant existence in the universe? Reality had proven humans had the potential to move galaxies! Were able to turn back time!
The reason why powerhouses were strong was because they were even more crazed than the average being! Their desire and obsession for strength could take a normal life and push it toward the pinnacle of conquering the universe!
If someone was unable to reach the extent of resisting the universe, then the only reason was because they were not crazy enough!

*Rumble*
The sounds of battle rang out instantaneously!
Mortal eyes were useless, because the fighting between such experts was simply too fast, too brutal!
“CONSTANT! I SHALL TAKE YOUR LIFE TODAY!” Crane roared as he recklessly pounced right at the other man.
The endless misery and grief he was feeling caused Crane to lose his sense of reason, going for an attack that risked his own life!
A pyrrhic attack!
When Founder experts risked their lives, the combat strength they could show was comparable to a galactic storm!
Then there was also the Skywing Wolfpack, with Xia Gucheng taking the lead! This group of the craziest maniacs of the Law Realm did not even need to feel aggrieved; to the Fiendish Blade, they were the sort that would put their lives on the line in every fight they partic.i.p.ated in!
No matter the time or the fight, as long as the Demon-Sealing Fiendish Blade had been unsheathed, their only goal would be to slay their enemies! Once the Wolfpack was mobilized, they would either be bringing death to their enemies or die trying!
Constant was not used to how aggressive Xia Gucheng would be right from the start. After all, few experts would decide to resort to such a crazy method of exchanging a life for a life when they clashed. As they were all prominent figures at the Founder tier, they placed an emphasis on their own demeanors, and they had to win with flair, and completely so.
Unfortunately, Skywings cared about their demeanor the least! Being able to slay their enemies was their greatest reward!
With Old Crane taking the lead, the three Founders had also forsaken their conduct as well, because learning about Solo’s death had utterly angered them!
An intellectual would always insist that sapient lifeforms were different from beasts, having their own rules and intellect. But this statement did not apply today, because what Constant was facing now was a group of enraged wild beasts!
When these well-respected super experts who stood proudly over the universe began using their teeth to tear at flesh, and their heads to headb.u.t.t their enemies, it made for a very brutal scene! They were using such methods to force the number one expert in this universe into a corner and make him too weary to continue!
*Bang*
Constant lashed out with his fists, creating a powerful wave that could overturn the galaxy, forcing Xia Gucheng and the others back. Meanwhile, he backed away a good distance while panting heavily, doubt filling his eyes.
Constant was well aware of the strength Crane, Ocean and Vista possessed. After all, they had been comrades for many years. The reason Constant had not considered murdering them was entirely because he had not seen any of the three as a threat before. A single hand was all he needed to vanquish them!
But today, the alliance of the Demon-Sealing Fiendish Blade and these three Founders he had looked down upon were actually able to force him back! This frustrated and dismayed him greatly.
Smiling, Constant suddenly understood something crucial.
Crane was still that Old Crane; he has not changed. The key here was the existence of Xia Gucheng and his Skywing Wolfpack!
The Demon-Sealing Fiendish Blade was like a drop of ink that had contaminated clear water; though it was an insignificant amount, it was enough to completely change the color of the water!
During the battle, Constant had felt very awkward, almost as if there were several annoying flies buzzing all around him, biting him whenever they got a chance, making it difficult for Constant to concentrate on the battle. These annoying flies were none other than the Skywing Wolfpack, as well as that wild and uninhibited Grand Ancestor of theirs, Xia Gucheng!
Despite Skywings being viewed as lunatics, the intense a.s.sault from the Wolfpack Formation was capable of tearing their enemies to shreds, while their hit-and-run tactics made it possible for them to torment their enemies to death!
Guerilla warfare was precisely the tactic of choice the Skywings employed! Using their speed to constantly hara.s.s enemies, they made it impossible for their foes to unleash their full strength!
This was not a fatal tactic, but it was very devious!
When warriors with insufficient concentration found themselves besieged by such hara.s.sment, they would very quickly get frustrated, and the moment they lost their cool, that would also be the moment when blood was in the water!
Even a super expert like Constant could feel his anger boiling under the hit-and-run tactics of the Wolfpack Formation. He had the power, but he could not unleash it. Only the being subjected to their persistence could understand just how unbearable the experience was.
Gritting his teeth, Constant had a very ugly expression on his face. After all, he had been the one who made the harsh declaration to take on Xia Gucheng and his party of nine all by himself. It was only when he was engaged in actual combat that he realized that even though the Demon-Sealing Fiendish Blade was not at his level, they were still very hard to deal with. They were like vicious wolves, their crazed appearances hiding their cunning hearts. It was those unique traits of theirs that was key in the Skywings being able to sweep everything!
The most frightening opponent is an incomprehensible opponent. With how varied and strange the Demon-Sealing Fiendish Blade was, they were like the wolf in the wind that no one could grab hold of!
Through gritted teeth, anger shot from Constant’s eyes, making ready to use his strongest Soul Art and hit the Skywing Wolfpack hard!
It was right at that moment there was a sudden change in the stars! s.p.a.ce itself was torn, and a tunnel between Dark s.p.a.ce and conventional s.p.a.ce appeared from out of nowhere as an entire armada sailed forth!
“c.r.a.p! Those are the Dark lifeforms!” Vista was grinding his teeth. “I told you before that Constant and the Dark lifeforms are in cahoots! Now that the situation is going poorly, Constant had called the Dark lifeforms to his side!
Their plated hulls shone in their neat formation!
Three more Founders were proudly taking up a position right at the front of the armada! The only three founders of the Dark lifeforms had all a.s.sembled!
The entire universe’s population of founders had gathered!
They were destined to cause an upheaval here in this universe!
This fight was really filled with twists and turns. Just as Xia Gucheng’s party had seen a glimmer of hope, the arrival of the Black lifeforms’ armada had immediately snuffed out what little hope they had!
A grim look was on all their faces. After all, they were now in a fight with the nine of them against seven Founders, as well as the entire elite force of the Dark lifeforms!
The nine of them working together was only enough to force Constant into a corner. Now that they were expected to go against a formidable force of such size, the chances of Xia Gucheng and his people coming out victorious had practically dropped down to zero!
This was going to be an arduous fight!
“Wenia, is the one who severely wounded you here?” the Dark lifeform King Wendar asked, clad in his pitch-black war armor.
The princess Wenia swept her gaze over Xia Gucheng and everyone there before coldly replying, “No. Perhaps he’s hiding, afraid to show his face.”
Wendar nodded, and turned toward Constant.
Constant seemed to have been unaware that the Dark lifeform would suddenly barge in like this, asking with a furrowed brow, “Why are you all here?”
Wendar laughed as he replied in a mocking tone, “You promised to hand over the one who infiltrated the Dark lifeform territory to me, and now that time is up, yet the person is nowhere to be found, so I’ve come looking for him myself!”
Constant turned back with a glance, and saw that Smile and Atrophy were not around. Youth shook her head at Constant, which meant that Smile and Atrophy had failed to capture Xia Fei!
“I’ll hand him over to you, so go wait in Dark s.p.a.ce for a few more days. Wait for me to settle this matter I have at hand first,” Constant had both his hands behind his back as he spoke, showing off the dignified aura expected of the ruler of the Law Realm.
Wendar ignored this as he continued laughing, “Wait? Who knows if we would still see you if we wait any further. These people you’re fighting against are very strong. I’m afraid you won’t have such an easy time dealing with them without our help, right?”
Constant arched an eyebrow as he replied in a slightly indignant tone, “There’s no need for you people to intervene on Law Realm matters! Besides, with you and your men appearing so ostensibly, what if someone discovers you, and a.s.sumes the Law Realm and the Dark lifeforms are about to go to war against each other?”
King Wendar was even more disdainful as he coldly scoffed, “Afraid of others finding out at this stage? Why weren’t you so afraid when we signed our military alliance with each other back then? I’ve helped you take care of many warriors you had trouble dealing with for all these years, so had it not been for me, would you have been able to accomplish the duty the Inverse tasked you with?”
“I see how it is now; I ask for the one who had barged into my territory, the murderer who a.s.sa.s.sinated my general and severely injured my daughter, yet you’re unable to even do that. The way I see it, shouldn’t we perhaps amend this agreement of ours? Why don’t I replace you and rule over the Law Realm, what do you think?”
A sinister smile was on his face. Wendar’s words had angered Constant to the point his face turned red!
Despite how very angry Constant was feeling, he could not show it. After all, Wendar was holding his life in his hands; just a single slip of the tongue and Constant would become an eternal sinner in the Law Realm, someone that everyone would curse even in their sleep!
Wendar seemed to be pleased seeing Constant and his bottled-up rage. He happily asked, “How about it? Why don’t we work together again and let me help you get rid of these disobedient little flies? Then you can hand over that twerp who barged into my territory, and I’ll depart right away.”
Constant did not say a word, but his forehead was wrinkled, and his expression was becoming uglier by the second.
The number one combatant in the Law Realm was actually being threatened by the Dark lifeforms! Right in front of his enemies, too! Anyone could imagine the frustration he was feeling inside!
“I’ll take your silence as consent,” Wendar chuckled mirthlessly.
With a simple crook of his little finger, hundreds of elite Dark lifeform warriors immediately stepped out from the armada, as well as a small force made up of Dark Beasts.
With another twitch of his finger, these troops immediately mobilized, headed straight for Xia Gucheng!
“Don’t hesitate anymore! Let’s borrow Wendar’s strength and take care of Xia Gucheng and the others first! These people already know too much at this point! We mustn’t let them get away!” Youth whispered into Constant’s years.
Startled, a ruthless glow could promptly be seen in his eyes.
“Alright! Deal with inside threats before external invaders! I’ll look to settle scores with Wendar after I deal with Xia Gucheng!” Constant nodded.
*Whoosh*
The four Founders, Constant, Youth, Chill, and Rock joined the elite troops in their a.s.sault, making their way over with a grand momentum!
Xia Gucheng was in great danger!
Contrary to expectations, the party of nine with Xia Gucheng in the lead did not have any intention of retreating, especially Xia Gucheng. He even had this mysterious smile etched on his face, almost as if he had been waiting for the enemy to go for an all-out a.s.sault!
Seeing Constant and the Dark lifeform armada was already right across from him, that was when something else occurred!
Since you’ve unsheathed the Heavenly Sword, I shall wield the Dragon Saber!1
Just who would end up dead by whose hands in this arduous battle with many twists and turns? It was still not yet the moment when a clear victor would emerge!
