Chapter 1610 - Heretic Gods Remains
Curiosity gripped Liu Wuxie immediately. If the Immortal Slaughter Palace and the Santi Tribe weren't clashing over the overmining of astral crystals, then what were they truly fighting for?
"The remains of a Heretic God," the Santi Tribe's chieftain disclosed.
Liu Wuxie's brows drew tight as a sharp glint flashed through his eyes.
"You mean that a Heretic God has appeared in the Laman Astral Domain?" Liu Wuxie asked, and a sudden thought struck him as he fixed the chieftain with a razor-sharp gaze.
"That's right. Heretic God failed to break through to the Immortal Realm, so he chose Serene Peace Star as his burial place.
Mining for astral crystals is only one part of it, and searching for the Heretic God's remains is the priority." The chieftain didn't elaborate further.
Failing to make a breakthrough to the Immortal Realm meant the Heretic God had already surpassed the Quasi-Immortal Realm and was only one step away from claiming the throne of an immortal. After he fell, he withdrew into the depths of the Serene Peace Star to ensure no one discovered his remains.
Anyone who dared attempt a breakthrough to the Immortal Realm would have to face a life-and-death tribulation from heaven and earth. Those who succeeded would ascend, while those who failed would die.
That reality explained why so many people never dared to challenge the Immortal Realm. If their accumulation fell short, the first tribulation alone could claim their lives.
As a result, the number of quasi-immortals increased, while the number of people willing to gamble on the Immortal Realm kept dwindling.
"So, your Santi Tribe also wants the Heretic God's remains, and this is why you keep attacking the Immortal Slaughter Palace's camp," Liu Wuxie concluded, nodding as the truth clicked into place.
That Heretic God might have failed his tribulation, but the life-and-death tribulation had caused that failure. That meant his remains held numerous immortal runes and clues left behind by the tribulation, and it was a lethal temptation to any quasi-immortals. Those clues might even reveal a way to evade the tribulation itself.
