Chapter 3996 - Three Against Five?
Yu Qing left around a dozen devas to keep watch while the others wielded all kinds of cosmic artifacts, ready to capture the little beastballs. More devas were being summoned, but as most of them were in the middle of their ascent, it would take them some time to go all the way back down.
Not to mention, the seniors from Skyfiend Hall who had heard the news through their tracing rings sent word to get juniors from their own faction to go. But as that news would have to come from outside the Ancient Flameyellow Ruins to reach the juniors within, it would take even more time for them to come back down. The devas of the Ninefold Hellstar had a huge edge.
Even then, it wasn't a big deal. Even though the Eightpart Pantheons distributed resources on a first-come-first-serve basis, it didn't matter—there were more little beastballs than a single faction could claim, just like the ninelives fruits. The rest would still be evenly distributed among all factions. There was still internal competition for the resources they could obtain. And many had decided that, instead of the mere rumor of a super cosmic relic, they would rather go after the little beastballs, treasures that could shake the foundations of a maniverse-class world's legacy.
"Be quiet so as not to scare them off. We have to check if they have a way to fight back," Yu Qing instructed the other devas.
"Yes!" The other twenty-plus devas used web-like cosmic artifacts. Though they weren't being rough with them, the little beastballs chirped nonstop in fear, running into each other from time to time.
"How cute. However, most of them will belong to the Ninefold Hellstar. Even if other factions come, they'll only get a small portion," Princess You You said, excited.
"We might not even have to split them," Yu Qing said.
"But they already paid a price in the fight before. The Skyfiendling is dead."
"That was because he was far too pathetic." Even though Yu Qing was ranked eleventh in terms of talent, his combat abilities were definitely within the top ten. The ones ahead of him were seventh-level cosmic gods close to five hundred years old, while he was much younger. He was also one of the hopefuls that stood a solid chance of reaching the seventh level at five hundred and possibly becoming a kilometer-tall cosmic god in the future.
"Alright, enough talk. We have to work fast." Yu Qing turned into a storm of white jade, flying deep inside the cavern. Right as he was about to start capturing the little beastballs, his transmission stone lit up. "What's going on?"
