Eternal Bonds: A Journey with the Fated Immortal

Chapter 77

They knew that killing Aunt Ye was impossible. Continuing to entangle with her was futile, and they could only let her escape.

What was more important now was to find out the situation of the Ninth Princess.

Was she dead?

Or perhaps crippled?

Especially for King Tian Cang, his heart was filled with boundless hatred, and he almost wanted to howl at the sky. He couldn’t believe that the Ninth Princess could have killed his child.

“It must have been someone else who intervened. Who was it? I will tear them apart!”

King Tian Cang roared, his voice tearing through the starry sky, causing the already collapsing small world to tremble even more, almost on the verge of shattering in the next moment.

“Let’s go. We await the instructions of that esteemed figure. If the plan has failed, we will all face punishment,” the Lord of the Demon Palace said coldly.

With that, he turned and left, his towering figure disappearing from the starry sky secret realm.

He felt a vague sense of regret and unease in his heart.

Perhaps he shouldn’t have gotten involved in the struggles between the Imperial Sons and Daughters.

The Ninth Princess, even at the Void Fusion Realm, was already so troublesome.

If she were to become a Saint, or even a Great Saint, in a few hundred years, how terrifying would that be?

Sigh!

The sigh of the Lord of the Demon Palace echoed.

By that time, he might not even be worthy of being her opponent.

“……”

The Sovereign of the Heavenly Kingdom, with a cold expression, glanced at the nearly crazed King Tian Cang with his blood-red eyes, then turned and left.

“Ah!!!”

King Tian Cang roared, a terrifying aura of a Great Saint bursting forth, a fierce storm sweeping across the entire starry sky, his divine power unleashed without any reservation.

Boom, boom, boom!!

An immensely terrifying explosion erupted, the entire small world shook violently, and ultimately, it completely collapsed…

……

Eternal Divine Realm, Central Heaven Continent.

Within an immense and boundless celestial palace, dragon energy surged, vast and powerful auras roiled, and countless terrifying presences stirred. Mighty figures moved back and forth, resembling an immortal paradise.

Inside the celestial palace, within the First Prince’s residence.

A remarkably handsome young man, dressed in prince’s attire, sat at a chess table with a calm expression, playing a game with a cold-faced youth who had dragon horns.

“First Prince, your terms are a bit excessive!” the cold-faced, dragon-horned youth said.

“Hehe, Brother Ao Lin, these terms are not excessive. If you wish to ascend as the Lord of the Eastern Dragon Palace and rule over the Three Thousand Sea God Domains, this price is already quite light!”

The First Prince held a chess piece in his hand, a smile on his lips, and spoke softly.

Pa!

The black piece fell, delivering a decisive blow.

“Moreover, the Sea God Palace is also a significant threat, isn’t it? This generation’s Sea God Empress not only possesses formidable combat strength and wields the authority of the Sea God, but also has that Dragon Maiden by her side……”

“Tsk tsk! Brother Ao Lin, your chances of winning are not high!” the First Prince said with a light laugh.

“……”

The cold-faced youth remained silent.

He was not skilled at chess, nor was he interested in the art of imperial strategy.

The reason he wanted to ascend as the Lord of the Eastern Dragon Palace and rule over the Three Thousand Sea God Domains was merely to gather vast resources and fortune, paving the way for his breakthrough to the Supreme Realm.

“I can agree to the First Prince’s terms, but on one condition: you must help me eliminate the Sea God Palace and that Dragon Maiden. She is a significant threat!”

The cold-faced youth said, a cold gleam flashing in his eyes.

The Eternal Heavenly Realm was vast and boundless, with countless divine realms, among which there were nine thousand Sea God Domains.

Each Sea God Domain was vast, far more expansive than any divine realm.

Among the nine thousand Sea God Domains, there were numerous sea clans with terrifying power.

Among them, the Four Great Dragon Palaces, the Sea God Palace, the Devouring Sea King Palace, and the Nine Fiend Demon Shark Clan were the dominant forces, each ruling over many Sea God Domains.

The cold-faced youth was the current First Prince of the Eastern Dragon Palace, ambitious and determined to rule the Three Thousand Sea God Domains.

“Very well, I will have someone obscure the heavenly secrets for you and dispatch several Quasi-Emperor experts to assist you in seizing power and hunting down the Sea God Empress. If necessary, I will call upon even stronger individuals!”

“As for that Dragon Maiden, you’ll have to deal with her yourself!” the First Prince said with a light laugh.

The reason he was doing this was to win allies and aid him in seizing the position of Emperor.

As the prince of the Eastern Dragon Palace, if Ao Lin successfully seized power and ruled the Three Thousand Sea God Domains, even if he couldn’t become a Supreme, he would at least be a peak Quasi-Emperor.

Such a powerful ally would be of immense help to him, aiding him in ascending to the throne.

“Little Nine, your potential is too terrifying. For the sake of my throne, I must ask you to die!” the First Prince thought silently to himself.

The position of Emperor of the Eternal Imperial Court was incredibly tempting. Once he ascended, with the vast and boundless fortune and immense resources at his disposal, he could become an Emperor in the future, and perhaps even emulate the Eternal Great Emperor and ascend to the Immortal Realm.

As for the Ninth Princess, although she was still young and her cultivation was not yet high, her potential was astonishing, and she had the backing of the True Phoenix Clan. He feared any unforeseen events that might threaten him.

Therefore, he had to eliminate her first.

“Even if Father dotes on you, this is a joint decision by the ancestors. No matter how angry he is afterward, he will have to endure it!” the First Prince thought to himself, his eyes slightly closed.

Thinking back, the plan should have succeeded by now.

They had paid such a high price and even enlisted the help of a Hall Master from the Heavenly Dao Sacred Hall.

It couldn’t possibly fail.

“Hmm?”

At this moment, the First Prince’s face stiffened, and his previously confident smile froze instantly.

His eyes were filled with endless gloom.

Boom!

A wisp of his aura uncontrollably spread out, instantly as if it had crushed the ages, sweeping through the entire hall and even affecting the surrounding celestial palace, impacting the vast expanse of the entire celestial palace.

“What?!”

Opposite him, the cold-faced youth’s expression changed dramatically, filled with endless fear as he felt his entire body trembling.

He was a peak Great Saint, almost a Quasi-Emperor.

Yet, he couldn’t even withstand the First Prince’s aura?

Could it be that he has already stepped into the Quasi-Emperor realm?

“The plan failed?”

The First Prince’s expression was gloomy as he silently recited the message from his subordinates, a boundless rage rising in his heart.

A bunch of useless trash!

“Su Changsheng!”

Suppressing his anger, the First Prince softly uttered, his eyes flashing with cold light and filled with killing intent.

“Brother Ao Lin, help me with something,” the First Prince said, looking at the cold-faced youth with a calm tone.

Although his tone was as usual, the pressure it contained made the cold-faced youth’s heart tremble, not daring to be careless in the slightest.

“Please, speak, First Prince!”

The cold-faced youth responded respectfully, no longer daring to maintain his previous tough attitude.

“In the Kunpeng Divine Domain, on the True Saint Continent, there is a family named Su. The ancestor of this family is named Su Changsheng,” the First Prince said softly.

“I want you to mobilize your forces to annihilate this family and bring Su Changsheng’s head to me!”

The reason he didn’t take action personally was that the Ninth Princess had not fallen, and she might not even be seriously injured.

Once she returned, he would face a storm of retaliation, along with pressure from the True Phoenix Clan.

Moreover, the terrifying force in the Kunpeng Divine Domain greatly disliked him, the First Prince.

If he sent his trusted strongmen, they would undoubtedly be killed.

Therefore, he had to enlist the help of other forces.

This was why he mobilized the Great Saints of the three major forces instead of using his own subordinates.

“A Saint King? A mere top-tier force?” The cold-faced youth was momentarily stunned upon receiving the information from the First Prince.

So weak?

He had thought it would at least be a peak Great Saint.

Very well, since he needed to deal with that Dragon Maiden anyway, he could have the sea clan experts kill him along the way!

The cold-faced youth thought silently.

His true body was currently located in the Dragon Palace’s inheritance grounds, receiving the inheritance.

The one here was merely an avatar with limited combat power, unable to act personally.

However, a mere Saint King could be easily annihilated by dispatching any Great Saint.

He was not worried.
