Chapter 1342: Wu Yuan And The Heavenly Imperator (2)
In the deepest recesses of the Realm of Destruction, far beyond the Lightflare Domain, lay the true core region. Strands of black light pulsed with destructive energy, constantly produced in the void only to suddenly vanish. These countless dark tendrils enveloped the endless emptiness.
At the center of this void stood a divine sword that seemed to pierce through heaven and earth. Its body was entirely blackish save for a faint blood-red tinge, as though stained with the indelible blood of countless powerful lives it had reaped.
An invisible ripple spread outward. Light converged, and a projection materialized. It was Imperial Majesty Nan Guang.
"Heavenly Imperator." Nan Guang bowed with deep respect, his eyes reflecting awe as he gazed at the golden-robed figure standing in the distant void, unmoved amid the endless black light.
The Original Sword Spacetime. This! Despite having witnessed it many times before, each encounter still filled Nan Guang with profound shock.
He had attempted to enter this realm once, only to discover that a single strand of black light possessed power comparable to a Full Dao Zenithel. The countless strands surrounding them could annihilate him in an instant.
Only the Heavenly Imperator stood untouched, ignoring the destructive forces as he secluded himself in this spacetime, cultivating and comprehending for eons.
"I already know," the Heavenly Imperator said, slowly opening his eyes. Those pupils remained calm and unperturbed, as if all had been foreseen. "It was my miscalculation."
"Miscalculation?" Nan Guang's confusion was evident.
"You must wonder why Wu Yuan arrived neither earlier nor later, but precisely when you finally located the treasure." The Heavenly Imperator's gaze settled on Nan Guang's incarnation, his voice gentle yet carrying unmistakable authority.
"Please enlighten me, Heavenly Imperator," Nan Guang replied with deference.
"It's not that his luck was exceptional, but that the treasure emerged because of his presence," the Heavenly Imperator stated simply.
