Chapter 497: Undercurrent
Upon seeing the drop of white blood, Tianyi understood why the contemporary Four Divine Beasts could inherit the positions of their progenitors. The Azure Dragon, Vermillion Bird, and White Tiger weren’t simply a title passed down from one demon to another, but a legacy. When the contemporary divine beast passed down the title, the original divine beasts’ blood would exit their body and enter the new one.
Although it was only a hypothesis, he felt it was likely very close to reality. Tianyi sighed in amazement. The fact that even eons after their death, the Four Divine Beasts’ blood could still have a spiritual will was amazing. More than that, the blood essence likely contained laws at the divine level.
Realizing his thoughts were straying, Tianyi quickly focused again. Demon Emperor Blacktiger’s corpse had been easily transferred into his Nine Heavens Universe without the White Tiger Blood Essence’s interference. Not even the realm artifact, the Metal Source Talons, could resist him. With his prize in grasp, he watched over the disengagement between the demons and immortals.
Demon Emperor Blacktiger’s death and Demon Empress Bluefeather’s state sharply lowered the morale of the demon clan, while Sword Empress Snowsword’s death also lowered the immortals’ morale. Even if the high echelons on both sides wanted to battle again, it was unlikely that the foot soldiers shared the same feelings.
Still, this was a world where strength spoke the greatest. If the Demon Clan had a divinity present, no amount of immortals would be able to contend with the Demon Clan. The Immortal Court and Numinous Sword Sect would have no choice but to flee and hide in the dark.
Even if there weren’t any divinities, Tianyi still had to guard against any possible sneak attacks from the demon emperors. His current conduit could only explode with the strength of a half-emperor, or an emperor for a short time at the cost of the conduit itself. He also didn’t want to continue the battle for now.
When the immortals retreated back to Shangri-La, Tianyi teleported into the core palace. Already present were the immortal emperors of the Immortal Court and Numinous Sword Sect. He didn’t wait for them to speak before waving his hand.
Not a second later, a chessboard flew out of the ripples in the air.
The Spacetime Chessboard was not his artifact, and it could resist his spacetime shifting, but why would it? Tianyi wanted to bring his allies back to headquarters, and Minister Vastlight would not resist. After all, the cooperation had already been discussed.
