Chapter 2108 - The Crypt Guardian
Everyone had anticipated a fierce, unpredictable conflict.
Instead, just as it reached what should have been the climax, it came to a hasty end. This was naturally both surprising and confusing.
A Primordial Ancestral God and seven Celestial Venerates had attacked, bringing with them four taboo divine swords and the Dao-Severing Bone Spear. Meanwhile, a vast army of gods eyed Su Yi hungrily from not far away. Given all that, who could have anticipated this sort of ending?
Even Su Yi was surprised.
His brow furrowed, and he got the vague sense that the Lingyu Dao Monarch’s backer, the one truly behind the scenes, recognized the old man. That was what had changed his mind.
“Are victory and defeat already clear?” asked Su Yi.
The old man shook his head. “No.”
“Indeed they are not,” said that voice like the clear ringing of a bell. “You returned with the Epoch Spark and the power of reincarnation to achieve divinity, and to create a new, unprecedented path all your own. In that case, we’ll determine victory and defeat on your path to divinity!”
Su Yi’s gaze focused. Who is this guy? He obviously knows I’m here to achieve divinity, but it seems he also already knows that I’m pursuing a starkly different path!
“That would be best,” the old man said approvingly. “If you compete in terms of the Grand Dao, you’ll know who’s truly superior!”
“Then we’ll see what happens in the Nine Great Celestial Trials,” said that clear voice. “Throughout the ages, I’ve been incredibly bored, but I did manage to train a few noteworthy good seedlings. When the time comes, I’ll have them take the trials alongside him.
