King of Creation Chapter 1997 - 1982: The Bottomless Abyss

To be honest, today’s situation can be described as a deadlock!

Ye Zhen is armed with a massive amount of All Living Beings’ Will Power, but in the face of over a hundred Dao Realm experts, and more than ten powerful Demon Clan Great Saints, as well as the prospect of an endless stream of Dao Realm experts bursting out of White Tiger City and White Tiger Mountain,

No amount of All Living Beings’ Will Power can help Ye Zhen escape unscathed.

At this moment, Ye Zhen is truly anxious.

His brain is working like a high-speed machine, gathering all the intelligence collected from beginning to end, including maps of the million miles surrounding White Tiger City and White Tiger Mountain, and all the forces he himself can mobilize, trying to find a way out.

In an instant, Ye Zhen identified several possible methods to escape.

For example, finding an opportunity to kill that Blood-eyed Soul Beast, or using the strength of the little cat to forcefully break through the blockade; the little cat’s speed should leave most of the Demon Clan’s Dao Realm experts behind.

However, Ye Zhen is not entirely confident in any of these methods.

In the past, Ye Zhen might have taken a risk because he was alone and could gamble with his life.

But now, Ye Zhen dares not.

While Ye Zhen himself is still full of vigor and willing to risk his life, Hu Qingtong and Chi Ling’er within the Mirage Dragon Pearl Space cannot afford to gamble with him.

Ye Zhen must find a foolproof method, or at least the one with the greatest certainty.

At the very least, Hu Qingtong and Chi Ling’er must find a way out.

His brain continues to operate at high speed, as various clues gradually converge in Ye Zhen’s mind.

Supreme strategy wins!

Confrontation is the most extreme method, only to be used as a last resort.

The most profound strategy is to break through from within the enemy.

Currently, the enemies chasing Ye Zhen are divided into four groups: the Black Cloud Great Sage, the Great Saint of the Giant Spirits, Tu Che, the Stone Monkey Saint, and the Green-eyed Great Saint.

Even two people cooperating can be riddled with intrigue, let alone four groups of experts from different factions.

Ye Zhen believes there must be exploitable flaws and conflicts for him to leverage.

After pondering for a few moments, he found several exploitable flaws and conflicts among these four groups, yet almost none that he could use to turn them against each other.

As one piece of intelligence after another flashed through his mind, Ye Zhen’s attention suddenly focused on the fifth force involved in today’s incident—the Purple Whisker Great Saint.

This Purple Whisker Great Saint seems unrelated to the pursuit of Ye Zhen, yet he has an irreconcilable conflict with the Black Cloud Great Sage.

The key is how Ye Zhen can utilize it?

Activating his Divine Sense, Ye Zhen pondered deeply while delving underground and approaching the Purple Whisker Great Saint and his entourage.

After descending over a thousand miles underground, the depths are filled with magma containing violent Fire Spirit Power.

This violent Fire Spirit Power, along with the terrifying pressure from being over a thousand miles deep, slows Ye Zhen’s descent.

But this pressure and violent Fire Spirit Power disturb everyone.

After delving a thousand miles underground, even the Primordial Spirit Powers of those in the Dao Realm, including the Great Saints, find it extremely difficult to extend further.

Even if they forcefully extend, the consumption becomes massive, and a sustained vibration of the Primordial Spirit Power is unsustainable.

Only a portion skilled in escape skills and Earth Escape among the Dao Realm experts can descend to search for Ye Zhen.

However, their escape skills still lag behind Ye Zhen’s Innate Five Elements Divine Escape, and they endure greater pressure.

Furthermore, their speed and range of search while underground shrink significantly — roughly only one-third of the Dao Realm experts can pursue underground, granting Ye Zhen precious time.

Yet, with the Blood-eyed Soul Beast watching, tracking Ye Zhen is only a matter of time.

After all, the Great Saint of the Giant Spirits and the ten Bear Clan Dao Realm experts he brought along are skilled Earth Escape experts.

Upon reaching a place underground not far from Purple Whisker Great Saint’s position, Ye Zhen hides inside the Mirage Dragon Pearl Space, while the Little Demon, like a sprouting seed, charges down through those ancient roots toward the depths.

Ye Zhen and the Little Demon are one; when the Little Demon reaches the surface, Ye Zhen’s Primordial Spirit Power also reaches the surface, attaching to a towering tree closest to the Purple Whisker Great Saint’s entourage.

"Great Saint, maybe we can discuss a cooperation!" Ye Zhen used the Little Demon’s body and his Primordial Spirit Power to send a Divine Soul Telecommunication directly to the Purple Whisker Great Saint, who was overlooking White Tiger City from the air.

This Divine Soul Telecommunication caused the Purple Whisker Great Saint’s expression to change slightly, and his Divine Soul Power spread like mercury, reaching in all directions.

The Purple Whisker Great Saint wanted to find the owner of this mysterious voice that suddenly appeared in his mind.

The momentary fluctuation in the Purple Whisker Great Saint’s Primordial Spirit caught the attention of his think tank, Hu Feng, "Lord, did you discover something?"

"Someone suddenly used Divine Soul Telecommunication with me, saying they want to discuss a cooperation with me." The Purple Whisker Great Saint trusts his own strategist.

"At this time, for someone to hide their identity and discuss cooperation with you, it’s more likely than not..." The strategist Hu Feng glanced toward the direction of the murderous Black Cloud Great Sage in the distance.

"So what does Mr. Hu mean?" The Purple Whisker Great Saint inquired humbly, "Should we follow the trail to find the source or what?"

"Follow the trail? What good would it do for you to find the culprit? In fact, not finding the culprit, even if the king scolds you because of it, would be much better than finding the culprit! After all, the Black Cloud Great Sage is your most powerful rival for inheritance,"

Pausing here, Hu Feng continued, "So, in my opinion, Lord might as well talk first, see how you can cooperate, then discuss the rest?"

At the same moment, Ye Zhen’s Divine Soul Telecommunication echoed once more in the Purple Whisker Great Saint’s mind, "Who I am, I believe the Great Saint may have already guessed, but to express my sincerity in this cooperation, I want to gift you a monumental secret."

"What secret?" The Purple Whisker Great Saint was somewhat surprised.

"The life span of His Highness the Black Tiger King."

"My father’s life span? That’s no secret; my father’s life span is already running short, with his limit within this millennium; that’s not considered a secret anymore," said the Purple Whisker Great Saint.

"What if I told you, His Highness the Black Tiger King has already found a miraculous elixir to extend his life by eight thousand years? Would the Great Saint believe it?" Ye Zhen replied.

"What, my father extends his life by eight thousand years?" The Purple Whisker Great Saint’s expression changed drastically, "That’s impossible! This is absolutely impossible, do you have evidence?"

"Evidence will certainly be provided to the Great Saint, but what I want to convey is, with His Highness the Black Tiger King extending his life by eight thousand years—eight thousand years may not be long, but it’s surely not short.

With you two brothers, isn’t it rather hasty to be fighting for power and profit like this?" Ye Zhen remarked.

The Purple Whisker Great Saint’s expression suddenly darkened, "What exactly do you want to say, just say it directly, I have no patience for your drivel."

As he spoke, the Purple Whisker Great Saint shared the content of the conversation with his think tank, Hu Feng, seeking his analysis.

"It’s said the Great Saint’s biological mother has deceased, while the mother of the Black Cloud Great Sage is currently enjoying favor with His Highness the Black Tiger King, often able to have her say; this is why the Black Cloud Great Sage, though born a millennium later, can now rival the Great Saint.

What I want to say is, if this situation continues, forget about eight thousand more years, even two to three thousand years might see no place for the Great Saint in White Tiger City.

Even if there is, I fear the Great Saint’s days would be very difficult," Ye Zhen commented.

The Purple Whisker Great Saint’s face suddenly turned somber, and what Ye Zhen said was indeed true. Beside him, Hu Feng, the think tank, had eyes shining brightly.

Sometimes, even when the Great Saint achieves great feats, it might not be as useful as a few words from the mother of the Black Cloud Great Sage.

"What are you ultimately trying to say! Or rather, what kind of cooperation do you propose?" After obtaining Hu Feng’s affirmation, the Purple Whisker Great Saint asked.

"I will create an opportunity for the Great Saint to utterly plunge the Black Cloud Great Sage into an abyss, ensuring they lose all qualifications for competing for the throne; it depends on whether the Great Saint is willing to cooperate?"

Upon hearing these words, both the Purple Whisker Great Saint and Hu Feng, who had just heard the voice, found their eyes instantly lit up with keen interest!
