Global Abyss: My Skills Can Enhance Infinitely Chapter 2039 - 1083: The Golden Emperor’s Flaw (Part 3)

Ultimately, suggesting a way to ’have the best of both worlds’ by deleting it in this realm and reviving it in the outer world forced the Golden Emperor to stop feigning ignorance.

Otherwise, actually carrying it out would turn him into the greatest idiot ever...

"Have you truly turned into an Ancient?"

Tao Yu had also noticed the odd shift in the Golden Emperor’s demeanor and was mostly testing him out.

Yet the Golden Emperor dared not take risks concerning Gu Xiaosang!

If the effects of the reduction vanished, every one of her schemes would collapse into nothing!

"The ultimate tribulation draws near. With me stepping into the world as Lingbao Tianzun’s substitute, it perfectly aligns with this last trial—ascending to Ancient status flows naturally. Even amongst the Ancients, I possess a clear edge. The deeper into the past time recedes, the stronger my position grows."

The Golden Emperor cast a look at Tao Yu before declaring,

"You’re still no match for me..."

"Heh."

The Golden Emperor’s sheer arrogance both tickled and infuriated Tao Yu.

"I’ll prove whether I am or not!"

An epic clash loomed, blazing with ferocious energy...

...

’Mad Blade’ Su Meng achieves legendary rank!

He’d only recently advanced to Dharma Body, yet as the youngest such ’Mad Blade’, reaching legendary status so swiftly triggered phenomena across the entire True Realm.

This revelation swept through the world, sparking waves of shock.

Though earlier, during the massive clash at Divine Capital, history’s river had manifested and Creation Powers had collided.

Those involved figures like Human Emperor Sword and Yuan Hong were mythical legends.

Impressive as they were, such events remained comprehensible.

’Mad Blade’ stands apart; rising from Human List to Heavenly List as a discarded Shaolin disciple, he embodied the aspirations of countless common Jianghu folk.

Bringing the underdog fantasy to life.

And now, ’Mad Blade’ hitting legendary status unleashed this astonishing anomaly!

"This is outrageous!"

"The pace is insanely quick, isn’t it?"

"How on earth did he train like that..."

"..."

In the midst of widespread awe, observers quickly noted that nearly every prior Dharma Body expert had surged in power dramatically!

Lu Da, Su Wuming, and the rest had all reached Heavenly Immortal realm.

Far from legendary still, but this collective leap in so little time evoked memories of the Celestial Banquet!

At that feast, the Emperor had mentioned traveling back through time once.

Did they grasp that chance for massive gains?

Before the wonder could settle, the next events utterly demolished everyone’s perceptions.

Heart Saint, Numerical Saint, Ren Saint, and all the Middle Ages sages had merely staged their demises!

These Middle Ages trial figures nearly all emerged simultaneously from their tombs, broke free from Immortal Source, and returned to the living world!

As though their past deaths were mere deceptions, part of a grand plot sealing them within those bizarre artifacts.

"Immortal, Immortal Source?! Damn..."

Meng Qi had freshly claimed legendary status, severing bonds with Demon Buddha at last, attaining genuine independence.

His mood soared, mind sharp and focused.

Learning of the Middle Ages sages’ revival left him stunned, yet he suspected Tao Yu’s hand in it.

After all, time regression demanded immense might from the foe, even tapping Human Dao Dynasty’s power displayed its dreadfulness.

Thus, pulling off a few resurrections seemed entirely plausible.

They’d leveraged Middle Ages cultivation to finalize their foundations, buying precious time ahead of the final tribulation.

Yet discovering it stemmed from ’Immortal Source’ breakthroughs left Meng Qi reeling. He dashed to Divine Capital that night, lingered through the dark hours, and cornered Tao Yu right as he casually headed to Turquoise Pool for guests, blurting out,

"Did you label those ’Immortal Sources’ in jest? Regular ones shouldn’t endure so long, huh?"

"Ah, I fetched the materials from Sky Covering World and refined them myself—it truly is ’Immortal Source’."

Tao Yu’s blunt, unhidden response fried Meng Qi’s circuits.

"I don’t recall any Sky Covering World in Six Paths World—was it a side realm?"

Meng Qi had searched plenty during Six Paths of Reincarnation missions.

"It lies outside the True Realm, the ’Sky Covering’ World..."

With the scenario now under loose control, Tao Yu opened up more directly.

Those mere words ’beyond the True Realm’ delivered a massive jolt.

The presumed final tribulation being merely Nine Nether made sense for exploitation.

But Tao Yu’s offhand remarks instantly overloaded the newly legendary Meng Qi’s thoughts.

"Oh yeah, one more thing you ought to hear."

Tao Yu added upon recalling it.

"What’s that?"

"I verified with Heavenly Emperor: Ancient Thunder God reincarnated as prior epoch’s Emperor Haotian. That’s why he smoothly aided Heavenly Emperor’s rise, won deep trust, grasped Jianmu Fruit’s mystery, and Lu Ya’s his offspring."

Tao Yu’s revelation twisted Meng Qi’s face into grave intensity, prompting a heavy response:

"Now it clicks why Demon Saint favored him, why he betrayed Heavenly Emperor—it all fits."

Ancient Thunder God could’ve claimed Heavenly Emperor’s seat himself if desired.

Thus, the aid-assisted ascendant Heavenly Emperor placed utter faith in him, handing over even Other Shore epochs—what suspicion remained?

That blunder by Heavenly Emperor still amused Tao Yu to this day.

"Thanks—if not for you, I’d remain clueless."

"No thanks needed, just don’t hold it against me later."

Tao Yu’s remark sparked alarm in Meng Qi—was this fellow scheming against him?

"Spill it now? I promise no grudge, honest."

Meng Qi probed cautiously.

"You aided me immensely, owe me a favor—even if you sought my death, I’d merely repay the life debt."

"Not that bad, not at all."

Tao Yu dismissed with a wave, reassuring him,

"Nothing huge—you’ll learn soon enough..."
