Swallowed Star - Chapter 834
Chapter 834
In the ancient era, a huge tragedy fell on the indigenous people of Yan Ji main continent . Back then they were all normal people of the universe, and they didn’t even have 10 knights in their race . Against the might of the four pinnacle races forging the battlefield, they were like ants .
The knights knew that they were the main targets, naturally their chances of fleeing were low . Hence they swiftly distributed their treasures to their people . It was originally distributed to 100 little teams with 9,900 other little teams that acted as decoys . The 10,000 towers had different levels too . These 9,900 teams were used as cannon fodder against the four pinnacle races…using the special energy of the Sacrificial towers to hide the rest from scanners and space ripples etc .
It’s material itself was however just average .
Actually…
The 100 inheritance teams had many differences from the 9,900 little teams .
The inheritance teams had six emperors each . But the 9,900 normal teams only had six officials in total!
The treasures within were different too .
The 9,900 teams had little treasures .
The inheritance teams…they were truly treasure troves, they were meant to truly succeed the race eventually .
And obviously…
The tower Luo Feng and the others entered had six emperor guides, and it was one of the 100 inheritance towers!
******
On the mountain peak, the mad winds howled .
The twelve emperors of the survivors exchanged glances, as their eyes were burning with madness .
“Let’s go to the tower . ” The gold robed warrior said .
“Hm . ” The eleven of them nodded .
The twelve emperors swiftly went through the water membrane…
. . .
Within the control room of the tower .
The leading gold robed warrior and the other emperors gathered within, and the AI appeared right after . “Master, look . ” The AI pointed at the 3d image, “This shows the entire tower, they are following the pathway now . ”
“Six individuals . ”
The gold robed warrior stared hard at the six individuals who were clearly projected . Whether it was the gold eyes winged Night emperor, Ice Blade, Gold Cang emperor, Silver winged Luo Feng…they were all clearly shown .
“There are humans and some weak races . ” The warrior said .
“Completely simulate their energies . ” A fat emperor standing beside ordered .
Immediately, the six silhouettes were displayed as their original heights and sizes along with their energies .
With the tower’s simulation, at least 10% of their energies was emulated . The surviving warriors all looked on, the fat emperor saying softly, “These six…should all be emperor pinnacle, with special items, they may be even stronger . ”
“What . ”
“Third brother!”
“Elder!”
The other warriors looked at him . This third brother was the cautious undying back then, teleporting them into his god country . Including the others that were originally in there…that was the only way to keep his people alive . He was the strongest amongst the group, and he hardly ever meddled in affairs . The person usually managing everything was the gold robed warrior .
“Third brother, are you sure?” The gold robed warrior looked at him .
“Yes, I, Qiu Chi Ka, will never be wrong . ” The fat warrior smiled . “And the six of them…should be from two different camps . Even though they are moving together, they are enemies, we still have a chance . ”
“Ah . ”
“Enemies?”
The gold robed warrior and the others continued to observe, swiftly discovering the little traits that allowed them to discern…that the six of them were from two different camps .
“This is our chance . ” Qiu Chi Ka said, “However, the weak will be useless in this fight . ”
“Elder . ”
“Third brother . ”
It immediately made some of the low emperors shout out . “Pu Ai is pinnacle emperor, while La Di Mo and Men Bu are high emperor . The three of them including me will make it four . Big brother, you and the other eight should return to the god country . ” He made the decision . “You won’t be of much help, and this fight will be very dangerous . We are unlike the other races with powerful techniques . When we lost our inheritance, we lost a lot of our techniques . The eight of you will still have to lead our race . ”
“Go back for the future of our race . ” He gazed at them .
The eight low emperors were reluctant .
“Yes . ”
“Yes elder . ”
“For the race . ”
They finally all followed the elder’s orders .
“Elder, god master, you all have to come back . ”
“You have to survive . ”
The eight emperors were worried .
“Relax, we will send our true inheritance back to the race . ” Qiu Chi Ka waved, “Go on . ”
The eight of them turned around and left via the water membrane .
Only the four strongest and the AI were left in the control room . The indigenous people of Yan Ji continent used to live in their tribes . The main head of the tribe was the god master, while the strongest was the elder . The elder was in charge of leading the tribe while the god master managed it .
Four warriors .
The elder Qiu Chi Ka, god master Pu Ai, La Di Mo and Men Bu . Two pinnacle emperors and two high emperors .
“The enemy will reach the core area soon . ” The elder pointed at the projection . “The core area has the treasures, everybody knows that it’s divided into two treasure rooms and one inheritance room . ”
“The two treasure rooms have all sorts of expensive materials, weapons and mysterious items . ”
“The inheritance room is our race’s countless years of accumulation of techniques . With them, we will be able to pass on our techniques to the later generations to produce more warriors . ” He said . “Our race’s twelve emperors…all of them came from the disaster era, and none were produced after . This was mainly due to the lack of techniques to nurture the later generation . After all, the techniques we know…are only a small fraction of the race’s entire collection . ”
“Our first goal!”
“To get the inheritance room, and teleport it to the god country . ” Qiu Chi Ka said, pointing at the two rooms that were being projected . “These two treasure rooms, one has to be opened by our race people, but we got the treasure within long time ago . The other room however requires one of our race people with a talisman to open . ”
“Two rooms, one with less treasure than the other . ”
“According to what I know, the second room has tens of times more treasure than the first!” He said, “The second goal is to open this second treasure room . ”
“Hm . ”
The other three nodded .
The three rooms all had different levels of difficulty in opening . Opening the room with the least amount of treasure was something they already knew about . As for the other two, one held treasures while the other held techniques .
“Even though the treasure is valuable, the techniques are more important to the race . ”
“Hence we have to first use all our strength to get the inheritance room . ” He ordered . “Don’t get tempted by the treasure . They may be useful to you but they have little benefits for nurturing our later generations . Everything…for the race!”
“Understood elder . ” Men Bu and La Di Mo nodded .
“Understood third brother . ” The gold robed Pu Ai nodded as well .
“Alright . ” Qiu Chi Ka nodded . “We have a good chance of getting both the treasure rooms and the inheritance rooms . Afterall they have to be activated by our people . ”
The others nodded .
“Naturally we cannot fight it out with them . The moment we show ourselves, they will team up against us . ” He pointed at the first treasure room, the one they had opened in the past . “This first room…is the place where I’ve planned for them to fight it out . ”
“Elder, but we’ve emptied this room . ” Men bu said curiously .
“We just have to put some things in . ” He smiled . “The treasure case we got back then is still with me, it’s just a box, only its material is valuable . I’ll put the three cases that we got in the past in there, the cases will simply be empty . When they discover the cases and are unable to scan it with their god energy, along with some message from the deceased elders…”
“Right, right . ”
“It would be strange for them not to fight . ”
“They would definitely think we were all dead and there was no other life in the tower . ”
Qiu Chi Ka nodded, “It’s not that we are smart, it’s just that they would never expect for us to have survived . Remember…they don’t know we are here, and that’s our greatest advantage . Until the final moment, we cannot reveal ourselves . We should go arrange the first treasure room now . ”
He swiftly left the control room and began his plan .
He returned after awhile .
Within the control room, The four warriors looked at everything happening .
“Six talismans . ”
“They have it, the core has been activated . ”
“We have to find a way to get at least one of them . Only that way can we activate the inheritance room and the second treasure room . ”
. . .
Ge ge ge…
The six pathways shook simultaneously . After revolving for awhile, pathways opened at each end .
Their paths were all clear .
“Core area . ” Luo Feng carefully covered himself with the Sha Wu wings and entered, finally stepping through the pathway and landing on the ground .
It was a vast hall .
Gold Cang, Purple Clock and Night emperor were already standing there .
“Yang . ”
“Yang . ”
Piercing Tiger landed too . The two of them exchanged glances and walked to Night . Ice Blade, Gold Cang and Purple Clock stood together as well .
“Be careful, we are already in the core region . Even though we had to rely on all six to enter here, now that there’s no more need to co-operate…a battle can occur at any time . ” Night communicated to his group . “Yang, especially you . Your undying body is weakest here, that Gold Cang is extremely strong, he may target you first . ”
“Understood . ” Luo Feng nodded .
Xiu! Xiu! Xiu!
The distant Gold Cang, Ice Blade and Purple Clock instantly became three beams of light and split into two . Gold Cang flew one way alone while the other two took another path, it was obvious they were trying to get to the treasure faster .
