Chapter 1348: Battle Of Life Or Death, Samsara Sacrificial Annihilation (2)
Only the two Eldritch Progenitors remained in the vast emptiness.
"Hou Tu, are you truly going through with this?" Di Jiang asked, his gaze sharp with concern. "Are you genuinely confident?"
"I am not confident," Hou Tu replied, her eyes eerily calm. "I have perhaps a 50% chance of survival, but a 90% chance of saving Wu Yuan."
"You'd risk so much?" Di Jiang gritted his teeth. "Even if Wu Yuan dies, he'd only lose two Xuanhuang Dao Treasures. With his accumulated power, he would revive quickly."
His voice dropped lower. "But you...If you perish this way, you might not fully return."
Clearly, Di Jiang recognized the technique Hou Tu intended to employ.
"My concern isn't whether Wu Yuan falls," she said slowly. "I worry about the Heavenly Imperator."
"The Heavenly Imperator?" Di Jiang blinked in surprise.
Hou Tu gently closed her eyes. "He's already wielding the Original Sword. How close is he to leaving the Realm of Destruction? We both know time grows short.
"Indeed, Wu Yuan would revive quickly, but I fear the Heavenly Imperator might break through during that brief interval."
Break through? Di Jiang's eyelid twitched at the thought.
"But even if you save Wu Yuan, can he stop the Heavenly Imperator after such a breakthrough?" Di Jiang shook his head doubtfully.
