After a few hours, Owner Bu had finally stabilized his power. He felt refreshed as his lost vigor and youthfulness came back. His life was extended greatly so this was not a surprise. He could feel that if nothing happens, he could live for at least another million of years in seclusion. This was a heaven-defying gain that anyone would be envy of. Just imagine, a high leap from Immortal Emperor to Heavenly Saint? Take note, he just skipped two whole cultivation realms!
"Congratulations, Owner Bu, for your success." Jin Rou said with a smile. Although he helped Owner Bu in an indirect way, the credit still lied upon Owner Bu himself. If not for his perseverance and spirit, Jin Rou might not bother saving him in the least.
"This was all thanks to you, Youngmaster Jin." Owner Bu immediately knelt down to show his grat.i.tude, "If not for you, I will never have the chance to step into this world once again."
These were Owner Bu"s heartfelt words. Truly, if he didn"t meet Jin Rou way back in Grivexia, wouldn"t he just rot there and die? As he was a peak existence there, who would want to provoke him there?
But now, he had another chance to change something. He was given the power to do it. Whatever may be the result of the upcoming battle, he had nothing to regret anymore.
As he already did what he must.
Of course, success was more preferred. After all, failure meant death to him.
"Owner Bu, no. Please get up." Jin Rou had experienced this numerous times already but he was still not used to it. If he was in his palace, he would accept this gesture but he wasn"t. So he urged the old man to get up, "This is all because of your hard work. The credits were yours to begin with."
"Youngmaster Jin, please don"t kid around." Owner Bu smiled wryly, "How could a mere Immortal Emperor like me could do something significant on my own?"
Owner Bu couldn"t help but laugh when thinking about this notion.
"You already did. In the past." Jin Rou chuckled, "You paved your way with blood even here in Starlight. You killed numerous true monarchs and even divines and grand ones. You used your wits to outsmart your opponents. You survived this world for so long before giving up. So, tell me, isn"t it a significant deed on your part? If it were some emperors, they would be killed instantly there."
"…" Owner Bu was shocked hearing this. How could Jin Rou knew something like that? He didn"t tell a tale about this to others! There"s only one possibility, and that"s Jin Rou had already seen through his past.
What kind of power did it need to be capable of peeking in someone"s past?
Terrifying. Absolutely terrifying.
Owner Bu couldn"t fathom enough just how strong Jin Rou was.
While he was deep in his thought, suddenly...
"Bang! Bang!" Two figures had suddenly descended from the sky.
—
The two figures were men. One was a bald man and the other one had a mohawk hairstyle with a black hair. They were white robes that were fluttering in the air as they released a bone-chilling killing intent.
For sure, these guys weren"t here for a talk.
"These Fellow Daoists, do you need something from us?" Owner Bu smiled and asked with mild tone. He was trying to settle this in a peaceful manner or else, these two would die without knowing who they offended.
"Step aside, old man." The bald man sneered and said, "We have a business with that young man next to you so if you want to live, I advise you to tuck your tail between your legs and don"t let us see you once again. Or else you will die without a burial."
The bald man snorted. He was very arrogant as if he already held the world in his palms which was a funny scenario for Jin Rou to look at.
"Owner Bu, this is a good timing." Jin Rou laughed, "Since two idiots have voluntarily presented their heads for you, isn"t an insult not to do so? Show them what you got."
"Understood." Owner Bu got serious and said, "I"m sorry but you two need to die here now. Blame yourself for offending someone you shouldn"t have offended."
"Haha! Funny." The mohawk man smirked and said, "Let me take care of this guy. Just because he was a new Heavenly Saint, he think that he can already match us?!"
"No, we"ll both attack to finish this as soon as possible." The bald man disagreed, "He is still a Heavenly Saint just like us so don"t underestimate him."
"Alright alright." The mohawk man sighed, "But his neck is mine."
The bald man nodded in affirmation.
"Talking like victory is already in the bag?" Owner Bu smiled and revealed his teeth, "Win first."
"Boom!" Owner Bu equipped his World-Destroying Sword in his right hand.
Violent qi particles began circulating around Owner Bu as if it was heeding to his call.
"What..." The two men were flabbergasted when they saw this sword and its power. Soon, they recognized this as they revealed horrible expressions, "A World Treasure!!"
Owner Bu was basically a Heavenly Saint, but now that he was equipped with a World Treasure called World-Destroying Sword, his strength has risen that it could almost rival to fight Fate Emperors!
"s.h.i.+t! Run!" The mohawk man didn"t hesitate to pierce the void and was about to escape. The bald man also did the same.
They had no chance of winning against someone who had a battle power of a Fate Emperor! Coming here was suicidal in their part as they regretted being carried by their haughty and self-importance thoughts.
"Hmph. Too late." Owner Bu"s eyes flashed. He took a step forward and charged his sword backward.
"Slas.h.!.+" And swung it, creating a ma.s.sive blue sword arc that could kill hundred thousands of people!
The two escaping men weren"t yet to enter their void when the slash hit them with their heads rolling on the ground.
Soon, two blood fountains oozed in their bodies.
