Eternal Life as False Emperor

Lin Junrong had no time to respond before the Crocodile Nether Spirit Race cultivator burst into laughter, "Humans, don’t bother playing your insignificant tricks in front of me."

"Let me tell you directly, that woman is no match for me."

He pointed to Xuu Wan beside him, "It’s not just me—even this guy can take care of that woman."

Lin Junrong didn’t argue, which was part of her breakthrough after dual cultivation with Zheng Yi.

Otherwise, if these two wanted to get rid of him, it probably wouldn’t take much effort.

Zheng Yi was instantly furious, "I say, Lin Junrong, why does your Star Sea have so many enemies? Having enemies is one thing, but they’re so powerful?"

"When Sect Leader Wenn invited me to join Star Sea, she didn’t mention it would be like this."

"She said your Star Sea was one of the top cultivation sects in the world, only a handful could be stronger."

"But now? How come anyone can just step on you guys?"

Lin Junrong was stupefied, not expecting Zheng Yi to turn against them so quickly.

"What are you looking at?" Zheng Yi was furious, "I tell you, I joined Star Sea only for the benefits you promised me."

"Now, I haven’t gained any benefits and you want me to deal with such strong enemies? There’s no chance!"

Zheng Yi then turned to the Crocodile Nether Spirit Race with an ingratiating smile, "Expert, honestly, I have nothing to do with Star Sea."

"If you’re looking for trouble with Star Sea, go ahead. I absolutely won’t interfere."

"If you need help, I can assist you."

"To be honest, I’m quite familiar with Star Sea."

"With my help, I guarantee you’ll be much more effective, resolving Star Sea without much effort."

Lin Junrong trembled with anger, "Zheng Yi... I never thought you’d be this kind of person!"

"Our entire Star Sea respects you so much, yet you sold us out without hesitation. Don’t you have any shame?"

Despite Lin Junrong’s heated accusations, Zheng Yi seemed unbothered.

"Please, we’re just mutually beneficial. You’re good to me because I provided you with cultivation techniques."

"Otherwise, in your eyes, I wouldn’t even count as a fart."

"We’re all cultivators, can’t you act mature?"

After reprimanding Lin Junrong, Zheng Yi once again put on an ingratiating look for the Crocodile Nether Spirit Race.

"Senior, I’ve already severed ties with these people. So long as you don’t kill me, I’ll do anything you ask."

The Crocodile Nether Spirit Race watched him with a sly glance, "Oh? Whatever I ask, you’ll do?"

Standing beside him, Xuu Wan grew anxious upon hearing this, "Don’t trust what he says; the higher-ups said he’s deceitful and malicious. Any sight of him should result in immediate elimination; no contact should be made."

The Crocodile Nether Spirit Race waved a hand to Xuu Wan, transmitting his voice, "No need to worry, Brother Xuu, I know this guy is pretending to betray."

"I have this situation entirely under control. Even if he claimed a flower today, there’s no way he could escape alive."

"I just want him to feel the humiliation of being toyed with."

Although anxious, Xuu Wan had no other options against the opposing persistence.

After all, in terms of cultivation and status, the leader here was the Crocodile Nether Spirit Race.

This Star Sea ambush, enticing Zheng Yi, was another one of their plans.

Continuing to argue will not only fail to persuade him but might even lead to resentment.

Though anxious, Xuu Wan could only retreat with resignation.

The Crocodile Nether Spirit Race chuckled coldly inside, "Nice try kid, but what ripple can a mere Golden Core Stage human cause before me? Only a fool would think a human is that impressive."

Seeing Zheng Yi rubbing his hands with ingratiating expressions, the Crocodile Nether Spirit Race deliberately pondered before saying, "Since you’re so sincere, I’ll give you a chance."

He pointed at Lin Junrong with a cruel smile, "As long as you kill this woman, I’ll pretend nothing ever happened."

"Not only will I spare your life, I’ll give you the chance to serve our Nether Spirit Race."

Zheng Yi’s smile stiffened abruptly, "This... Senior, I’ve severed ties with Star Sea but this woman is a Divinity Transformation stage expert. I’m just a mere Golden Core Stage; how could I kill her?"

The Crocodile Nether Spirit Race snorted coldly, "If you can’t handle such a small task, why should I keep you?"

"Everyone, kill them."

Zheng Yi turned green, desperately shouted, "Wait... wait a moment!"

The Nether Spirit cultivators, upon the Crocodile Nether Spirit Race’s signal, paused.

Feeling tearfully desperate, Zheng Yi slowly stepped forward, "Sir, it’s not that I’m unwilling but truly incapable."

"Think about it, if I were dead, how could I serve the Nether Spirit Race’s seniors?"

"What do you think, Sir? Change the condition, as long as I can achieve it, I’ll do my best."

Lin Junrong couldn’t bear it, biting his teeth, "Zheng Yi, I never thought you’d be such a shameless, despicable man."

"If I’d known earlier, I should’ve killed you to prevent such a spineless disgrace from besmirching human honor!"

Zheng Yi disdainfully glanced at her, "You’re a woman, what do you know about dignity?"

"A real man should be adaptable. Honoring an overwhelmingly powerful individual, what’s wrong with that?"

"Naturally, someone like you, neither male nor female, wouldn’t understand a man’s mindset."

Zheng Yi’s disdainful manner enraged Lin Junrong, wishing she could bite him to shreds.

Just as she wanted to curse more, Zheng Yi turned away indifferently.

Rubbing his hands, he addressed the Crocodile Nether Spirit Race, "Sir! Whatever you need, just say it!"

"Hmm..." The Crocodile Nether Spirit Race pretended contemplation, noticing Zheng Yi inching closer, smirked inwardly.

"So, that’s his game."

"Just a human, still too pampered. Want to approach and then launch a surprise attack on me?"

"Guessing you possess some powerful magical artifact, thinking it could kill me with it?"

"Naive, my protective magical artifact, even a Peak of Divinity Transformation expert can’t break it easily, let alone a Golden Core Peak."

"Those fools, considering this guy as an indomitable enemy, laughable indeed."

"So it seems, Azure Moon Flame Emperor and Barbarian Bull Power King are just as overblown."

"If I could break into the Enlightenment stage, my strength would surely surpass them."

"Heavens are truly unfair, such fools break through Divinity Transformation, yet I can’t find my opportunity."

Lost in thought, the Crocodile Nether Spirit Race zoned out.

Zheng Yi had been waiting for this moment, spotting the massive fault, took action decisively.

Pulling out a small sword, he aimed at the Crocodile Nether Spirit Race, "Die!"

Next moment, sword qi surged forth like it could pierce the skies, rushing at the Crocodile Nether Spirit Race.

The explosion of energy immediately triggered the Crocodile Nether Spirit Race’s reaction.

The protective magical artifact activated abruptly, its glow enveloped him entirely.

"Fool, a mere Golden Core Stage still trying to ambush..."

Before finishing speaking, the Crocodile Nether Spirit Race witnessed the unstoppable sword qi easily tear through his protective magical artifact, followed by the protective technique, finally through his body.

Everything he relied on, faced with the terrifying sword qi, seemed like paper, frail.

"No!"

The poignant scream abruptly halted.

After the sword qi passed, the Crocodile Nether Spirit Race turned into ashes, disappearing without a trace.
