Chapter 1018 - 53: Perfection (Part 2)

I stopped the time-space fluctuations, but overlooked another method of Chong Xu.

Moreover, this method, I couldn’t figure it out in a short time.

I felt a bit regretful.

"It’s a pity that I still cannot study how Chong Xu managed to escape."

Saying so, Wang Sheng looked at the remaining people of the Devouring Sect.

To ensure nothing goes wrong, both his main body and clone, along with Yuanhua who knew Chong Xu best, kept an eye on Chong Xu.

Meanwhile, Long Yue and the Star Beast Ancestor were watching the black abyss.

But if Chong Xu had methods, how could the black abyss not have any?

As Chong Xu’s technique exploded, the black abyss also found its escape route.

It directly transformed into a black abyss, enduring all attacks from Long Yue and the Star Beast Ancestor, while gradually shrinking.

Moreover, ordinary Saint Emperors of the Devouring Sect also found ways to pour into the abyss.

Seeing this, Wang Sheng didn’t hesitate at all and swung his spear.

The terrifying force struck directly at this black abyss.

Cracks appeared on the black abyss, shaking the surrounding starry sky, and space began to shatter.

But ultimately, the black abyss blocked the attack and gradually disappeared.

Wang Sheng squinted his eyes.

Both attempts to prevent their escape failed.

"Indeed, no top-tier Saint Emperor is simple..."

Though I could anticipate that Chong Xu and the black abyss would still have some cards up their sleeves.

I did not expect that they would ultimately escape.

Furthermore, the black abyss took many Saint Emperors with them in the end.

Yuanhua thought Wang Sheng failed to kill Chong Xu and the black abyss, feeling disappointed, thus comforted him:

"As expected, those two guys, even if they thought they had an assured victory, would always leave a backup plan. However, this also exposes them completely, and next time we can prepare. Such methods come with a high cost, and they can’t use it again in a short time.

Moreover, they also suffered heavy injuries, Wu Sheng Daoist, no need to feel concerned, this plan was already very successful, one might even say it was completely fulfilling the task."

For him, this plan was a complete success.

All set goals were exceeded.

This battle directly weakened the Devouring Sect to a brink of extinction.

Long Yue approached them, her voice still cold, like an immortal fallen from heaven, though with some happiness in her tone: "Wu Sheng Daoist’s strength makes Long Yue admire, this time, Wu Sheng Daoist has the main credit, the plan is complete, Daoist do not need to be disappointed."

"Daoist, this time has been very successful." The Star Beast Ancestor also chimed in.

Wang Sheng chuckled; he didn’t expect a casual remark to receive comfort.

He was not disappointed in the result.

Just felt he wasn’t cautious enough.

But he didn’t explain much, instead said: "I am not disappointed, the result this time is quite good, next, we begin the next phase of the plan, with courage, pursue the retreating foe, Daoist Yuanhua, there shouldn’t be any issues, right?"

Yuanhua saw Wang Sheng’s expression, confirming it wasn’t disappointment, then shifted his tone, saying: "Of course, this was the initial plan, we’ve killed three top-tier Saint Emperors and twenty-three Saint Emperors from the Devouring Sect, our fighting power is now entirely leading, we can completely enter the Devouring Sect’s core territory."

"With this defeat, Chong Xu and the black abyss, let alone other ordinary Saint Emperors, wouldn’t dare show their heads in the short term, this is an opportunity, the chance to completely suppress and even annihilate the Devouring Sect." As a top-tier Saint Emperor, Long Yue naturally knew all the plans.

"Then let’s pursue!"

For the Devouring Sect, they have no intention of being lenient.

The only thought is to thoroughly beat down and eradicate the Devouring Sect.

And other Saint Emperors before this, although unaware of the complete plan, knew what they needed to do now.

Thus, they followed the initial plan, formed groups, and began their attack.

Of course, some Saint Emperors returned to the territory of the Conquest Sect.

Knowing, within the Conquest Sect’s territory, there are still many cultivators of the Devouring Sect.

Previously, couldn’t spare Saint Emperors to handle it.

And after today, naturally can’t let them continue to rampage.

Almost advancing without halt, this incident also settled down.

Wang Sheng’s main body quietly disappeared, returning to the Qingshan Holy Land.

This time exposed the main body to thoroughly alter the situation, but if possible, I wouldn’t reveal myself lightly.

And looking at the remaining figure of Wang Sheng.

Yuanhua and Long Yue both had complex expressions.

Even though the plan before had guesses, truly witnessing it, their mental state wavered slightly.

The Lifeless True Saint unexpectedly has another top-tier Saint Emperor clone.

"Wu Sheng Daoist, now you should be the clone... such strength, the First Saint Emperor, truly deserving... if not, the plan wouldn’t be so easily completed."

The title of the First Saint Emperor initially came from Wang Sheng’s appearance fighting one against two.

Yet Yuanhua and others had never proactively mentioned it.

This time Yuanhua actively acknowledged.

It represents many things.

Though Wang Sheng himself didn’t care.

The renown of the First Saint Emperor is merely a hollow title.

"Daoist Yuanhua’s plan is also extremely important."

Wang Sheng recalled when Yuanhua explained the plan to him.

["Daoist Yuanhua, for this plan to succeed, and ensnare the Devouring Sect thoroughly, we need the Devouring Sect to attack actively, otherwise, any plan might arouse suspicion, what is Daoist Yuanhua’s thought?"

At the time, Yuanhua only responded with one word.

"Wait!"

"You mean waiting for the Devouring Sect to attack on their own initiative; Daoist Yuanhua, what assurance do you have?"

"Based on my understanding of Chong Xu, when he lets a large number of the Devouring Sect’s cultivators enter our territory, he certainly has laid a backup plan that can distract one or even several of our energies.

And the Devouring Sect although seems calm, is under immense pressure, once they find an opportunity, they will attack, then it becomes much simpler, dealing with matters and striking when Chong Xu’s guard is at its lowest."

...]

The plan was indeed simple.

Yuanhua knew Chong Xu too well, saw the situation of the Devouring Sect clearly.

Knew the Devouring Sect would surely initiate an attack.

Ultimately, just as Yuanhua had said.

The Devouring Sect used a secret technique to hide their identity, concealing the appearance of a massive grievance, forcing top-tier Saint Emperors to take action.

If Wang Sheng didn’t have a clone, perhaps it would be a real problem.

Either watched the grievance grow or accepted the risk of a top-tier Saint Emperor being killed.

But with the clone’s presence, Wang Sheng could make the clone pretend to go out to handle the grievance, actually ambush.

While the main body could deal with the grievance after the battle occurred, then provide support.

The ambush of the clone forced some of Chong Xu and others’ cards, simultaneously conveyed a message to the Devouring Sect, suggesting that all forces of the Conquest Sect had been assembled.

If Chong Xu and others didn’t have cards, the ambush by the clone might achieve the basic goal of killing a top-tier Saint Emperor.

If there were cards, and the ambush failed.

The main body would act and directly intercept where the Devouring Sect retreated, then quickly open a passage to transport Yuanhua and others along with the clone.

Afterward, it was about slaying Shi Ming, You Ming, and other three top-tier Saint Emperors.

Facts proved, the effect was excellent when the clone acted and then the main body followed.

Goals were exceeded.

Killed three top-tier Saint Emperors, thoroughly collapsing the Devouring Sect.

Facing Wang Sheng’s praise, Yuanhua shook his head, and said: "This plan, only because I understand the Devouring Sect too well, it wasn’t any brilliant plan, if not for Wu Sheng Daoist’s strength, only we would suffer losses."

Plans will remain on paper without the ability to execute them.

"Haha, Regardless, this time it’s highly successful, both Daoists have made great contributions, after completely solving the issue, perhaps we can have a small celebration." Long Yue’s mood was quite good.

"No objection." Yuanhua was very agreeable.

After all, using the opportunity will solve the Devouring Sect problem.

Eliminate the hidden major threat thoroughly.

"Next, just track the movements of Devouring Sect’s Saint Emperors, gradually eliminate them, no need to be as tense as before, can relax a bit..."
