Chapter 593 - 581: No More Living in Seclusion
Three True-tier creatures roaming the Canglan Star Domain had already taken out their magical treasures and showcased their best divine techniques, preparing to have a life-and-death battle with Wang Xuan.
They had been caught like turtles in a jar; there was no choice but to fight desperately.
They shouted angrily, "Golden Horn, we have been brothers for millions of years, roaming the Star Sea together, enjoying worldly powers and wealth. Do we really need to turn against each other for an outsider now?"
If they could win over the Golden-Horned Giant, it would be four against one, instead of three against two, significantly increasing their chances of victory.
Golden Horn had already charged forward. Hearing their words, he was also in a dilemma.
He was both intimidated by Wang Xuan’s formidable power and inclined to his former companions, wanting to betray and kill Wang Xuan.
Of course, he wasn’t considering any brotherly bonds; it was a choice to maximize his own interests. Whoever had the higher chance of winning, he would side with them.
So, the moment the conflict erupted, the Golden-Horned Giant rushed in, ready to quickly assess the situation once Wang Xuan and the others started fighting, and then make a decision like a proper fence-sitter.
He never expected that Wang Xuan had no intention of making the first move at this time. It seemed he wanted the Golden Horn to have a destructive fight with his former companions before stepping in.
’This man is too cunning!’ Golden Horn cursed Wang Xuan inwardly, yet he was caught in a position he couldn’t back down from.
What should be done?
A snake, a dragon, and a man saw Golden Horn’s hesitation and embarrassment, despising him as a fence-sitter while secretly wary of Wang Xuan’s strength.
If Wang Xuan didn’t have the power to suppress all creatures present, why would Golden Horn be so hesitant, choosing to be a fence-sitter?
"Come on, fight quickly, Golden Horn, since you are so brave, I can’t miss giving you a chance to show off!" Wang Xuan laughed loudly while drinking.
The three True-tier creatures paid little attention to Golden Horn, bypassing him directly, and charged at Wang Xuan, wanting to eliminate the real enemy.
Golden Horn pretended to charge but was hit by White Snake’s tail, who had a slightly lower realm than him, and flew back, crashing into the wall and spitting blood.
Wang Xuan watched the three True-tier creatures each using their methods and shook his head, saying, "This performance is not appealing at all; the acting is rather clumsy."
He extended his fair, slender fingers and gently clenched his fist. Including Golden Horn, the four True-tier creatures immediately felt the entire world spinning, and everything around them became smaller.
"Is this the Palm Buddha Country or Inch of Heaven and Earth divine technique?" Black Dragon shouted, calling his brothers to join forces to try and break free.
The Golden-Horned Giant regretted immensely. Had he known Wang Xuan could suppress four True-tier creatures with one hand, why would he have wavered?
A vast space contracted into a sphere, falling into Wang Xuan’s palm, with the four True-tier creatures trapped inside the palm-sized glass ball.
The Creation Rules permeated it, and Wang Xuan planted secret techniques on them, a fusion of the Dragon Pill Secret Technique and Flowers in an Instant, which he named Alchemy Secret Technique.
Creatures implanted with this secret technique would not only have their every action controlled by Wang Xuan but would also be thoroughly refined into a pill with a single thought from him.
The entire process was extremely painful and cruel, not only refining a creature’s lifetime cultivation into a pill aiding others but also extinguishing any chance of reincarnation.
Golden Horn and the others quickly regained their freedom but hadn’t yet processed being so easily suppressed by Wang Xuan and having the Alchemy Secret Technique implanted.
Wang Xuan stood with hands behind his back, absorbing the entire golden palace.
The starry sky was vast, cold, and desolate, with only distant stars emitting dim light.
"From today, you are my slaves. If you dare defy my orders, your lives will cease," Wang Xuan coldly admonished.
Golden Horn and the others repeatedly agreed, not daring to show any disobedience, afraid that Wang Xuan would use them as a deterrent.
Among the four True-tier creatures, White Snake was in the late Grotto Void period, Golden Horn and Black Dragon had slightly higher cultivation, at the peak of Grotto Void, and Silver Armor, covered in silver scale armor, was in the early Star Lord period.
These unremarkable True-tier creatures were mere pawns in Wang Xuan’s plan for the Canglan Realm, utterly insignificant.
Not to mention achieving immortality, they probably had no hope of becoming Void True Imortals in this life and had no qualification to catch his Dharma Eye.
To please the new master, Golden Horn promptly said, "Master, in this Fixed Star System where the Canglan Realm is located, there are a few other True-tier creatures lurking to gather information."
Seeing Golden Horn being such a sycophant, the other three secretly despised him.
This beast, if not for his betrayal, how could the three of them have become prisoners?
Now he’s become Wang Xuan’s dog, all because of his fault, and he dares to take the credit before them?
Silver Armor sneered at Golden Horn, and then flatteringly said to Wang Xuan, "Venerable Lord, I have been a Star Lord for hundreds of thousands of years and know everything about the Canglan Star Domain. If Venerable Lord has any instructions, Silver Armor will charge ahead for you!"
Black Dragon echoed, "Brother Silver Armor always has an ear for everything, familiar with all sorts of information. The little that Golden Horn knows, he heard from Brother Silver Armor."
As soon as Black Dragon spoke, White Snake quickly added, "We three are loyal and devoted, unlike the fickle Golden Horn. It’s our honor to die for Venerable Lord!"
Golden Horn jumped in anger but didn’t dare act rashly in front of Wang Xuan.
Wang Xuan nodded, "Capture the True Immortals outside the Canglan Realm first, and then I’ll assign you tasks."
With these sycophants knowledgeable of the Canglan Star Domain, he should be able to quickly resolve the uncertainties of the starry sky, and then return to the Canglan Realm to deal with the Saint Master.
Silver Armor led the way, and the group swiftly arrived at a cold, desolate planet on another side of the star system, where two giant fathead fishes lay snoring away on the ground.
Sensing spatial fluctuations, the two True-tier creatures quickly awoke and shouted at Golden Horn, Silver Armor, and others, "You Star Sea Thieves, instead of hiding in the shadows, you dare appear before us? Courting death!"
The four True-tier creatures of Silver Armor and Golden Horn rushed forward, fighting as Wang Xuan’s vanguard.
At this point, they had no choice but to follow Wang Xuan to the end.
Moreover, in their estimation, it wouldn’t be difficult for Wang Xuan to take over the territory outside the Canglan Realm, so they might as well fight honestly for him.
Wang Xuan stood in the starry sky, watching Silver Armor, Golden Horn, and others fight four against two, only to find that the two transformed fathead fishes wielded formidable weapons, resisting the fierce attack.
"Useless." Wang Xuan, already dismissive of Golden Horn and others’ character, saw their combat power lacking and disregarded them even more.
He reached out and grabbed, a massive handcovering thousands of kilometers, seizing the two fathead fish in his palm.
Not long after, the two fathead fish implanted with the Alchemy Secret Technique stood dejectedly behind Wang Xuan.
Life and death hanging on another’s whim, now wouldn’t be the time to be tactless, lest they court death?
The six True-tier creatures glanced at each other and couldn’t help but smile wryly.
They were born in the era of the Canglan True God. After the Canglan True God left, they became rulers of the wilderness, competing with the Canglan Divine Sect. After failing, they retreated to a corner of Xingyu.
They hadn’t thought much of Canglan Star Domain’s wealth, as the hands of the Canglan Divine Sect couldn’t reach the starry sky.
Yet, they couldn’t have imagined that when they just noticed turmoil in the Canglan Realm, planning to take advantage of the chaos, Wang Xuan had captured them before they could act.
Under this mysterious powerhouse’s hand, these True-tier creatures hiding in Xingyu would likely have no more days of freedom.
Even the Canglan Realm might not escape this person’s clutches.
