To perish over time is impossible even for a True Saint, let alone a creature sealed with such a grand scale. However, there are always exceptions. If the seal has other special functions besides preventing escape, then it's not certain. For example, a True Saint needs energy to achieve immortality. Without any energy, it will eventually be worn away by the years.
The Chaos Emperor is comparable to a vast world, capable of forming an energy cycle within its own body. Even in a place devoid of energy, it can still live forever. However, if a seal can suppress this cycle, there is still a chance to obliterate the Chaos Emperor.
Countless thoughts raced through my mind, and after realizing that I might end up with nothing, a sense of disappointment inevitably arose.
However, at that moment, Taiyi's gaze drifted to a certain point, and his expression suddenly changed.
"They hid it well! We almost got fooled."
At the point where Taiyi's gaze was focused, there was a grain of sand. In other places, a grain of sand would be normal and wouldn't mean anything. But here it was different. Since entering the pyramid, Yi Shuihan had found it frighteningly clean. Not even a single grain of sand should be here.
The saying "a grain of sand contains a world" applies here as well; the ability to change size is far too simple for the myriad realms.
The power that Taiyi borrowed from the system was not just something to look at. When Taiyi focused his attention on the sand, a stream of data swept across his eyes. The energy in Taiyi's body was rapidly drained away, and after a full 2% of it disappeared, there was finally a result.
Only in the easily visible realm did the information about the sealed monster finally become apparent.
Name: Yakchaha
Race: Corruptor
Introduction: A special kind of demon born from a demon's lair, it holds a pivotal position among demons. It can corrupt special worlds, and when the corruption reaches a certain level, it can transform into a demon's lair, known as a mobile demon's lair.
Strength: Exceeds the observable limit, as the seal is currently dormant.
Note: The other party is waking up due to detection.
"
The information he received left Taiyi somewhat stunned. It was completely different from what he had imagined. If it really was the Corruption Demon, he had no intention of breaking the seal at all; in fact, he would have liked to make the seal even stronger if possible.
"A mobile demon's lair? You're kidding me. If this thing were really released, even if I were the Chaos Emperor, I wouldn't be able to handle it. Its strength has exceeded the observation limit, which is clearly a reminder that it's not someone I can deal with!"
Taiyi started to back down, paying little attention to the final hint. Since the seal was still in place, it wouldn't make a difference whether the other party woke up or not.
Finally, Taiyi set up several additional measures around the seal to prevent other quasi-emperors in the secret realm from causing damage before leaving.
Shortly after Taiyi left, the grain of sand within the seal suddenly expanded rapidly, its enormous size becoming so large that even the seal's space could no longer contain it.
The sounds of impact continued, and the seal began to flicker, sometimes bright and sometimes dim.
The Corruption Demon had been sealed for an unknown period of time and had gone through many periods of slumber. Each slumber was to accumulate power to challenge the seal. Therefore, the first thing it did upon waking up was to attack the seal. This time, although it was due to Taiyi's unexpected awakening, it was no different.
Normally, the Corruption Demon would have returned empty-handed as before, but this time the situation has changed.
For a fleeting moment, the seal's operation paused slightly, followed by an even more frenzied attack from the Corruption Demon.
"Hahaha, the seal is weakening, it's almost there, it's almost there! I, Yakchaha, can finally see the light of day again! Old man Lyra, you didn't expect this, did you! You went to great lengths, even risking your life, but you still couldn't kill me."
......
"I never expected O'Neal to do that."
Yi Shuihan looked at Ba Che in front of him with some surprise. Just now, Ba Che came to tell him that O'Neill had returned, and he had brought most of the quasi-emperors who had entered the secret realm with him. He had completely revealed the news about this place.
If O'Neill had only brought the reincarnators, Ba Che and the others wouldn't be in such a passive position. The company wouldn't be afraid of the God Space either; offending them wouldn't matter. But now, most of the quasi-emperors have come, representing various forces. If they offend them all at once, even the people from the company wouldn't be able to withstand it.
Putting aside other forces, even the Demon Extermination Army initially shared the Fountain of Satisfaction they discovered with everyone. If the company were still heartless and didn't share the Fountain of Satisfaction with them, that wouldn't be fair. But once that precedent is set, other quasi-emperors will also have an excuse to not share, which would be discriminatory and also not good.
It has to be said that O'Neill is quite clever. Even Yi Shuihan felt that this move was a bit ruthless. Even if he had the strength to completely suppress the quasi-emperors, he couldn't do this under these circumstances. Yi Shuihan had no grudges against most of the quasi-emperors, and he wasn't stupid. He didn't even need the Fountain of Satisfaction anymore, so offending so many forces would be a complete loss.
What are your thoughts now?
Yi Shuihan asked Ba Che.
"After all, we were the first to discover this place, so it shouldn't be unreasonable for us to take a quarter of it, right?"
This reduced the quantity by several times. Ba Che made this decision with great difficulty, but he had no other choice at the moment. He couldn't expect Yi Shuihan to shoulder everything for him; their relationship wasn't that good yet.
"That should work. Go talk to them! I definitely support you."
"With your words, I feel relieved."
With the support of a Chaos Emperor, Ba Che was certainly full of confidence. Besides, he felt that even without Taiyi, his request was still within an acceptable range.
Chapter 1329, Turning Black into White
Not far from the New Fullness Spring, Ba Che was communicating with the Demon Extermination Army and others, making it clear that if they did not agree to let their company monopolize a quarter of the land, then the only solution would be to fight.
If the company represented themselves and the school, the negotiation would probably be much easier. However, Ba Che only represented the company, and the school was not involved. If the company took a quarter of it, the remaining portion of the Sustenance Spring for the Quasi-Emperor would be greatly reduced, not enough for his cultivation.
Of course, even a little bit is much better than having no spring at all.
With Yi Shuihan's support and the fact that the company's quasi-emperors were the first to discover this place, Ba Che's demand to monopolize a quarter of it wasn't actually that high. However, the Fountain of Satiety was far too important, especially for quasi-emperors like them who hoped to break through to the Chaos Emperor realm. Coupled with the opposition from reincarnators represented by O'Neill, the situation remained deadlocked.
"You say you found this place, so you did. I was the one who found it first and then you drove me away. Now you want to keep a quarter of it for yourself? I think a tenth is more like it."
O'Neal retaliated, which angered the company, since if it weren't for him, these future emperors would still be cultivating in the well-fed spring!
"You're talking nonsense. It was clearly our company's Luccaese who first discovered this place. You were just the second to find it."
One of the company's future kings retorted defiantly, but regretted it as soon as he saw O'Neal's smug face.
"So you admit that I also discovered this place. Your company is too selfish. You found the Fountain of Satisfaction but didn't share it with everyone. When I tried to share it after I found it, you attacked me and I almost lost my life. Luckily, I managed to escape. In my opinion, you selfish guys don't deserve to enjoy the Fountain of Satisfaction. I suggest that we all unite and drive them out."
O'Neal's ability to distort the truth is incredibly smooth, clearly demonstrating his extensive experience.
It's true, quite a few aspiring stars were misled by O'Neal's words. The company was originally in the right, but now they've become the ones in the wrong.
In fact, even if O'Neal had said this normally, he wouldn't have gotten away with it so easily. But now that it concerns his own interests, O'Neal is likely to get more benefits. Everyone knows what to choose.
O'Neill was right about one thing: the company was indeed somewhat selfish. They didn't tell the other prospective emperors about the discovery of the Fountain of Satisfaction. However, if other prospective emperors were in the same position, they probably would have done the same thing, even the initially selfless Demon Extermination Army.
The reason why the Demon Extermination Army is so selfless is actually traceable. First of all, everyone knows that they discovered this secret realm, so it is certain that they chose to keep an eye on the Demon Extermination Army from the beginning. It is unrealistic for the Demon Extermination Army to hide the Fountain of Satisfaction. Secondly, even the Demon Extermination Army themselves did not know that the Fountain of Satisfaction would suddenly dry up. Not drying up and drying up are two different concepts. The former can ensure their continued cultivation, and even if everyone finds out, it will not be a big problem. The latter is non-renewable, and only by monopolizing it can they maximize their benefits.
Everyone understands the principle, but not everyone is reasonable. For example, if your father hits someone and that person wants to hit back, it's generally acceptable. However, as children, they certainly won't let the other person hit back. This is called siding with family, not with reason.
The current situation is that this "closest" person has become their closest self, and even fewer people choose to help them.
"Is that what you think too, Anderno?"
Faced with Ba Te's questioning, Anderno, the leader of the demon-slaying army, remained silent. Sometimes, silence is a way of expressing one's attitude.
This gave up any thought of resolving the issue peacefully, and he felt great admiration for O'Neal's methods.
If it weren't for Yi Shuihan, or if Yi Shuihan hadn't broken through to the Chaos Emperor level, Ba Che would probably have at most managed to avoid being driven out of this place, let alone have a quarter of the Fullness Spring to himself. But now he has the support of Yi Shuihan, a Chaos Emperor.
Taking a deep breath, Ba Che said expressionlessly, "We want a quarter of the quantity. If you don't agree, then let's fight! Just a reminder, Lord Yi Shuihan is on our side."
Ba Che changed the way he addressed Yi Shuihan after Yi Shuihan broke through to the Chaos Emperor realm. Although Yi Shuihan didn't care, he couldn't ignore it. At least when they weren't alone together, he still had to maintain the dignity of Yi Shuihan as the Chaos Emperor.
The title "Your Excellency" did not evoke any associations among the quasi-emperors. At most, they thought Ba Che was a bit exaggerated. However, Yi Shuihan, a quasi-emperor who could be described as an invincible true saint, was indeed worthy of the title "Your Excellency".
Upon hearing Ba Che mention Yi Shuihan, the expressions of all the quasi-emperors changed slightly, and hesitation flashed in their eyes.
Seeing this, O'Neal chuckled inwardly. If it weren't for Yi Shuihan, he wouldn't have brought this bunch of idiots here.
Shaquille O'Neal is no old man, and he certainly doesn't hand out freebies. Do you really think he's spreading the news selflessly?
"We can't let them leave like this; we need to add a little more ingredient."
O'Neal didn't want to see a group of future kings back down because of Yi Shuihan.
"So what if Yi Shuihan supports us? We're not pushovers either. Don't worry, if Yi Shuihan really dares to take such a risk, we, the reincarnators of the Main God Space, are not to be trifled with either. No matter how strong he is, he's just one person."
Does O'Neal really intend to deal with Yi Shuihan himself? Of course not. He's just giving the other aspiring emperors confidence. Once the fight really starts, everything will be out of their hands. He'll just coast along and then call for help, and those aspiring emperors will have no choice but to fall into his trap.
Sure enough, upon hearing O'Neill's declaration, the group of prospective emperors were all invigorated. They knew that Yi Shuihan was strong, and no one present could match him in a one-on-one fight. However, the reincarnators from the Main God Space were not weak either. In their opinion, if the reincarnators focused on dealing with Yi Shuihan alone, it would definitely not be a problem.
The students from the All-Worlds United University, including Emperor Ama, were also present, but they did not intend to side with Ba Che. Yi Shuihan could not represent their will, and besides, Yi Shuihan had not communicated with them about this matter. They were only refraining from taking advantage of the situation because of Yi Shuihan, adopting a spectator's attitude.
Chapter 1330, Beautiful as a Painting
In this situation, Ba Che was completely unable to make a decision and couldn't help but turn his gaze to Yi Shuihan, who had not spoken a word.
The other quasi-emperors also looked over following Ba Che's gaze, and the atmosphere became slightly heavy.
Yi Shuihan looked around, and all the prospective emperors who were stared at by him felt as if they could see right through him, and their whole bodies felt cold. No one dared to meet Yi Shuihan's gaze.
"Damn, it's so strong."
O'Neal was also under a lot of pressure, realizing that he had underestimated Yi Shuihan. Just based on this move, Yi Shuihan's strength was even greater than he had thought.
In fact, if Yi Shuihan hadn't already broken through to the Chaos Emperor level, it would have been impossible for him to so effortlessly overpower all the other emperors.
"The company wants to take a quarter of the profits. Who's in favor, and who's against?"
He spoke softly, but his tone carried an air of dominance.
"What? No? If not, then it's settled."
After a long pause, still no one stepped forward, so Yi Shuihan continued.
"and many more!"
In the end, it was O'Neal who was the first to step forward. He cursed those aspiring kings for not having the guts, but he didn't expect that he wouldn't have stepped forward if he hadn't been humiliated by Yi Shuihan earlier.
"I disagree."
O'Neal started it up, which gave the other potential emperors some courage. The six reincarnators next to him also spoke up. Of the ten reincarnators, apart from Taiyi, there were two others who hadn't been notified by O'Neal because they were looking for the Fountain of Satiety.
"I don't agree either."
"Me too."
"And I."
The reincarnators in the Main God Space united on the spot, and some other quasi-emperors also expressed clear opposition. Of course, there were also some quasi-emperors who did not speak, but their expressions said it all.
"Alright, then go ahead and make your move! As long as you cause me even the slightest harm, I will stop interfering."
These words immediately caused an uproar at the scene, with most people feeling that Yi Shuihan was too arrogant and clearly did not take them seriously.
Those who can enter this secret realm are all the most powerful True Saints and Quasi-Emperors in the myriad realms. Every one of them has countless followers and admirers outside, enjoys the treatment of top geniuses, and is courted by all sides. They have basically never experienced being looked down upon like this, so even the best-tempered person would feel angry.
Pairs of eyes filled with rage glared at Yi Shuihan. Even without the matter of the Fullness Spring, they were determined to show Yi Shuihan the price of underestimating them.
O'Neal was also angry, but he was more pleased than angry. This was the situation he wanted to see. He was really afraid that Yi Shuihan would back down so easily!
"Are you telling the truth? You'll just leave us alone if we cause you even the slightest harm?"
When O'Neal questioned Yi Shuihan, he tried to discern even the slightest hint of bluff, but to no avail.
Unable to discern anything from Yi Shuihan, O'Neal glanced subtly at the company's prospective emperors and noticed that, apart from Ba Che, the other prospective emperors all wore expressions of worry, which reassured him considerably.
"Of course it's true. If you're satisfied with this, I can give you an even better deal. I absolutely won't dodge your attacks. How about it? Tempted? Don't just think about it, take action. It's better for everyone to finish this sooner."
"Let me do it, I can't do it, I can't hurt him at all."
With a loud shout, a figure soared into the sky, rising high before rapidly descending towards Yi Shuihan.
"They are from the Drill Tribe. It is said that the entire body of the Drill Tribe can transform into a drill, using the power of rotation to unleash an attack force dozens of times greater. The downside is that to maximize the attack force, a lot of preparation time is required, and enemies generally do not give them that time."
"The discerning prospective emperor said."
"He is Zuantian, the strongest of the younger generation of the Drill Clan. It is said that he once used a drill to break through the Heavenly Dao's blockade and escape from the Heavenly Dao's grasp, causing the Heavenly Dao to weep blood at that time."
"Yi Shuihan is overconfident. If it were a direct confrontation, Zuantian wouldn't have time to launch a super-powerful attack. Even if he did launch one, Yi Shuihan could dodge it. After all, he has cultivated the Dao of Thunder and the Dao of Time. Now that he can't dodge attacks, it's impossible for him to avoid any injury."
Under the expectant gazes of the non-company faction quasi-emperors and the worried gazes of the company faction quasi-emperors, the drill, the incarnation of the Sky Piercer, finally arrived in front of Yi Shuihan.
"Even a true Chaos Emperor can be injured by me."
Zuantian was already picturing Yi Shuihan's anger and embarrassment after being injured, while the other quasi-emperors looked at him with admiration. He was incredibly excited.
"The Drill Clan, a bizarre race. It's a pity they're not the drill that broke through the Heavenly Origin Realm, and even if they were, they probably couldn't do anything to me! If they were still True Saints, they would be being a bit arrogant. Unfortunately, I am no longer a True Saint."
In Yi Shuihan's eyes, who had already become a Chaos Emperor, this attack power, which surpassed that of a True Saint, was nothing at all. He even found tens of thousands of flaws in a short period of time.
"What!?
"This is......"
"What just happened?"
All the prospective emperors were stunned, because just as Zuantian and Yi Shuihan were about to make contact, Zuantian suddenly plummeted, and what everyone saw was Zuantian being flattened like a piece of paper.
"I've wanted to try this move for a long time. It's beautiful, truly beautiful."
Yi Shuihan looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction, appearing extremely appreciative.
"Beautiful as a Painting" is a golden skill originating from a fantasy world. It requires comprehending the art of painting, transforming enemies into a painting, and ultimately, mastering the art to turn the entire world into a painting in one's hands.
Yi Shuihan used this skill. As a Chaos Emperor, this "Beautiful as a Painting" skill was something he could create at will, but of course, it could only be used against enemies much weaker than him.
"It seems he's still a little short. Who should go next? I suggest you all go together. Don't hesitate, don't waver, come on!"
Yi Shuihan looked at the group of prospective emperors and spoke in an encouraging tone.
