Chapter 821: You Must Die!
"Ao Brother, your family clan truly boggles the mind, to actually entrust the God Devouring Knife and the Devil Sound Bell, treasures that should protect your clan, to a youngster who's not even a Super Warrior, and then to have them stolen. If it weren't for that Modan having the God Devouring Knife, would we be in such a troublesome situation?
We would have annihilated them long ago…" Soon after, Aolai Xu spoke with frustration.
It had to be said that the God Devouring Knife in Modan's hands had an impact on them that could not be ignored, and it caused them considerable vexation.
Upon hearing Aolai Xu's complaint, Ao Firestone's expression darkened.
Having two clan-protecting treasures snatched away by a youth who wasn't even a Super Warrior, coupled with the demise of the Firestone Family's top elder, Wei Firestone, and even his own previous grave injuries and escape, were largely related to these treasures - a true case of lifting a rock only to drop it on one's own feet.
This was a shame for the Firestone Family, so naturally, his expression wasn't pleasant as he heard Aolai Xu's complaints.
"Hmph!" Ao Firestone snorted coldly, without a word.
"Enough, it's just a God Devouring Knife, it's not some immensely powerful treasure. The six of us joined hands; are we still afraid of a God Devouring Knife? Let's use our trump cards and take them down quickly!" Just then, Tuo Eternal hurriedly tried to smooth things over and said.
On the other side, hearing Tuo Eternal's words, Ao Firestone's face slightly changed, and it grew even uglier.
What did he mean by 'just a God Devouring Knife'?
Their Firestone Family's treasure that protected the clan was no simple item. Moreover, Wei Firestone's fall and his own severe injury were related to the treasures. Weren't these words suggesting that both he and Wei Firestone couldn't even handle such a simple treasure?
It wasn't just Ao Firestone who felt this way; even nearby, the Firestone Family's top elder, Shan Firestone, also began to feel uncomfortable, his aged face turning gloomy as he said, "Brother Tuo Eternal seems quite confident. Since the God Devouring Knife is not a big deal, why don't you take care of it yourself?"
While they were jointly besieging Modan and his companion, they found themselves in the midst of an emotional disagreement. Clearly, as they were not part of a single power, for the strong members of three top-tier Super Warrior forces to perfectly unite was no easy matter.
"Ah, I didn't mean that the God Devouring Knife isn't formidable; I meant that it can be dealt with if the six of us join hands. My previous statement was inaccurate, please excuse me, Firestone brothers…" Tuo Eternal was taken aback, quickly responding with a bitter smile.
"Alright, enough said, if we keep this up we'll become a laughingstock. Let's quickly take down this human and beast to avoid any further complications…" Tuo Eternal then hurriedly ended the topic, raising his eyes towards Modan and his companion in the distance, and spoke swiftly.
Modan and his companion were very fast, and at that moment, they had already reached the vicinity of the Heavenly Principle Tower.
With his companion protecting Xia Qingqing, Lianshan, and their group, Modan used various methods to try to activate the Heavenly Principle Tower, occasionally using the God Devouring Knife to strike at their foes.
"That Modan is attempting to activate the Heavenly Principle Tower, could it be that they want to enter it?" A Cultivator mused with uncertainty.
"Entering the Heavenly Principle Tower would separate everyone - that might actually be a good idea!" Another Cultivator's eyes lit up.
"Good idea, my foot! It's useless for Super Warriors to enter the Heavenly Principle Tower, they'll all be in the same space. If Modan and that companion of his dare to enter the Heavenly Principle Tower, it's tantamount to seeking their own death. However, he probably wants Lin Yun's entourage to enter the Heavenly Principle Tower…" another Cultivator cursed.
"The Heavenly Principle Tower is an extremely powerful treasure. The space inside allows one to comprehend many things absent in the outside world. The rate of training and enlightenment within greatly increases, it's extremely significant. If I could enter the Heavenly Principle Tower once again, my strength would surely make another great leap…" another Cultivator spoke enviously.
"Heh, if you're so keen on entering the Heavenly Principle Tower, you might as well trade places with them. I'm not sure if your strength will increase substantially, but I do know that if you go in, by the time you come out, your chances of death will also be extremely high!" A Cultivator sneered, seeing the situation very clearly.
Many Cultivators understood Modan and his companion's intentions and did not harbor any optimistic expectations for their outcome.
In front of the Heavenly Principle Tower.
"I'll need roughly ten minutes to open the entrance to the Heavenly Principle Tower…" Modan, after attacking the seal on the Heavenly Principle Tower for a while, looked towards his companion, Xia Qingqing, and their group, quickly saying.
"Ten minutes, I can hold on." His companion growled softly, conveying the message with his mind.
"Mm…" Modan nodded slightly, his heart filled with a tinge of melancholy.
Compared to the enemy's strength, theirs was far too weak. He estimated that his companion could hold out for maybe just over ten minutes. Even with his help, they wouldn't be able to last much longer.
Even if Lin Yun had not fallen, and Xia Qingqing's group managed to enter the Heavenly Principle Tower and resolve the issue in ten minutes, who knew how long it would take for Lin Yun to come out? By then, he and his companion might already have perished.
"But, at this point, there is no other choice…" Modan gave a small inward sigh.
He accelerated his pace, swiftly breaking the seals on the Heavenly Principle Tower.
One minute… Two minutes… Three minutes…
For warriors of their level, years or even decades were but a flick of the wrist, yet at this moment, every minute felt excruciatingly long and tormenting.
On the other hand, although Tuo Eternal had agreed with the others to use their trump cards against Modan and his companion, when the time came, they couldn't help but conceal their true power.
As a result, they naturally couldn't quickly resolve the situation with Modan and his companion.
And as time went by, they grew more and more impatient. Their strength was already at the pinnacle of the universe, so naturally, their ability to predict outcomes was extremely strong. They couldn't explain why, but they all had a feeling that if they couldn't quickly deal with Modan and his beastly companion, there could be a significant shift in the tide of the battle.
