Chapter 1053: The Greatest Prodigy In The River of Universes (1)
News of this battle reached the highest echelons of the Immortal Court instantly, prompting many Immortal Reverends and even an Immortal Eminence to convene and deliberate on Wu Yuan’s matter.
But in the end, their conclusion was merely to strategize and attempt to slay Wu Yuan when he ventured into the cosmic sea. That was all.
Why? Wu Yuan, having revealed the strength of a late-stage Overlord, was no longer someone the eternal lifeforms of the Immortal Court could deal with casually. Without dispatching an eternal lifeform, it would be nearly impossible to kill Wu Yuan.
Sending an eternal lifeform back into the River of Universes? Putting aside whether they could even kill Wu Yuan, the moment an eternal lifeform descended into the River, it would cause immediate tremors throughout, dispersing the universe’s essence. In an instant, all the Overlords of that universe would sense it, and the Eldritch Court would surely know and respond accordingly.
That would no longer be an assassination, but war—igniting the highest level of conflict between the Eldritch Court and Immortal Court. The Immortal Court's upper echelons were not yet ready for such an escalation. Thus, the methods they could employ had to be less extreme.
Moreover, the order issued by the Immortal Eminence was known only to those thirteen Immortal Reverends for now.
...
In truth, this was also why Wu Yuan felt no urgency. Possessing such strength was his true assurance.
With late-stage Overlord power, Wu Yuan could face almost any powerhouse within the River of Universes without fear. Even if he acted arrogantly, what can they do to him? Power was what really mattered.
Time flowed on.
As Wu Yuan made his way through the Dao Realm, seeking to rendezvous with Overlord Huan Jin more swiftly, news of this earth-shattering battle that had erupted in the Creation Dao Realm finally began to spread from the Immortal Court's Long Shan Saintdom, the Eldritch Court's Long Shan Saintdom, and the Immortal Court's Ling Jiang Saintdom.
