Chapter 1351: The Eldritch Courts Response (1)
In the Ancient Megaverse, a towering figure emerged from a temple. Great Emperor Yan Tuo's gaze swept across the boundless heaven and earth as countless voices chanted his name in reverence. This was a realm under his absolute control.
Hou Tu... has truly fallen? He mused, a flicker of surprise crossing his features.
Intelligence from both Wan Yu Tower and the Immortal Court had already reached him. Though his divination abilities couldn't match those of Dao Zenithel Wan Yu, it wasn't difficult to piece together what had happened. After careful consideration, he confirmed that Eldritch Progenitor Hou Tu had indeed fallen, or at least vanished without a trace from the present world.
Eldritch Progenitor Hou Tu has never fallen since the Primordium. He reflected. The spacetime imprints she left in the cosmic sea run incredibly deep. Even in death, she should theoretically resurrect with ease. His brow furrowed. How was the Heavenly Imperator able to kill her?
The message from the Immortal Court claimed the Heavenly Imperator had defeated three powerhouses in the Realm of Destruction, killing Eldritch Progenitor Hou Tu and gravely wounding both Saint Yuan and Dao Zenithel Ming Jian. The very thought of it seemed unbelievable.
When did the Heavenly Imperator become so terrifying? Yan Tuo wondered. Has he become a Grand Supreme?
In his estimation, such a feat would be impossible unless the Heavenly Imperator had broken through. If the intelligence was accurate, the power he had unleashed in the Realm of Destruction must have approached the Grand Supreme stage.
After a moment of contemplation, he made his decision.
I should meet with Di Jiang first. The last time he came to the Ancient Megaverse, we agreed to join forces. His frown deepened. In hindsight, that decision was somewhat rash. I need to reconsider my stance.
Saint Yuan's survival abilities rivaled his own, yet even allied with Eldritch Progenitor Hou Tu, they had suffered a crushing defeat. While the Immortal Court might have exaggerated things, the Eldritch Court's silence spoke volumes. The truth likely matched 80% or 90% of the reports.
How then, could he hope to defeat the Heavenly Imperator by allying with the Eldritch Court's Dao Zenithels? It seemed nearly impossible, and might even bring about disaster for him.
Wait! He realized. No matter what happens, I can't leave my universe for now.
