Chapter 346
"What's there to fear? A cultivation method that spurs your own life's evolution is inherently just as formidable a means of plundering resources," the Duke said indifferently. "The setting limits cannot restrain you. They govern only what is innate. Cultivation breakthroughs, by contrast, are forged through acquired encounters and wrested through effort."
"Then do you know their power levels?"
"Huang Weijun should be on par with me. As for Emperor Suo, I'm uncertain—we've never crossed blades. And I know even less about the Mist Emperor." The Duke offered a helpless shrug. "There's little I can tell you there."
"How is that possible? You've never fought them, brother? You've descended so many times before..." Lin Hui asked, surprised.
"There was one prior instance that did blow up into a massive incident. We besieged the Royal Capital alongside Extreme Cold Heaven, Ash, and a few other realms. But I wasn't leading the charge that time—another Duke was. By the time I arrived, the main battle had already concluded."
"And then?"
"And then I merely showed my face before being killed thousands of times over by a few chains. I suspect it was Emperor Suo who struck, but it's only a suspicion. I can't be certain," the Duke said.
"Alright... Thanks a lot, brother. How about... I open a door and you come over for some fun?" Lin Hui suggested tentatively.
"Don't. The setting limits have already been applied to your world twice now—it's definitely being watched by the deep layer of Corruption. Haven't you noticed how well-behaved the forces from other realms have been? Nobody's stupid. Before that faction surfaced, we could slip back in and take a little feast. Now that it has emerged, it's naturally more cost-effective to change targets," the Duke said, stopping him short.
