Chapter 1222: Chapter 541: 2 Lies, 1 Truth_2

Once we return to the Truth World—

I will kill him with my own hands!

“You agreed?”

Augustus asked again.

“The premise is you have to help me.” Shen Ye said.

“Help you?”

“Yes, help me accomplish one thing. Only if it’s done will I have the chance to assist the Eternal Technique in penetrating the Abyss Sky Hole.”

“What is it?”

“Sign the contract first, and you’ll know.”

A contract appeared in front of Augustus.

He stared at it closely and saw the concise terms:

“The Withering Staff and its master Augustus must fully assist Baxter in capturing an Original Spirit of Destruction.”

“If Augustus accomplishes this, Baxter will immediately open the gate to send him back to the Truth World.”

“But if Augustus breaches any terms agreed upon in this contract, he will be devoured by the contract, losing his life.”

Original Spirit of Destruction?

The Truth World also has Original Spirits of Truth.

The Primordial Spirits were born with the world, possessing the world’s characteristic power.

They are considered the pinnacle of Technique Spirits.

—They are extremely rare and precious beings, possessing all kinds of unimaginable powers.

Augustus first sneered, then became somewhat curious.

The sneer was because the contract was imbued with a familiar power, something he had dealt with many times before.

That damned ship!

It possesses unique skills in crafting and supervising contracts, meaning I cannot lie about the contract’s contents!

As for curiosity—

“Why capture an Original Spirit of Destruction?” Augustus asked.

“Sign the contract, and I’ll tell you.” Shen Ye said.

Augustus didn’t hesitate much.

After all, using the “Withering Giant Tree,” his human form would die.

His consciousness would return to the scepter, lying dormant deep underground for endless ages, not knowing if he would ever see the light of day.

But now there is a chance to fight!

“I’ll sign it.” Augustus said.

He signed his name on the contract.

The contract immediately disappeared, reappearing in front of Shen Ye.

Shen Ye signed as well.

—The contract was established!

“Look up.”

Shen Ye said.

Augustus looked up and saw Shen Ye standing on a rocky crag.

Damn it.

Augustus cursed to himself.

This is the Bottom of the Abyss, where the powers of Destruction and Eternity constantly clash, with waves masking all sounds.

He leaped, flying swiftly before Shen Ye.

“Let’s be clear; this is merely a transaction between you and me. Once we’re back, we go our separate ways.”

Augustus said.

“Of course.” Shen Ye nodded in agreement.

“Now you should tell me—why find an Original Spirit of Destruction?” Augustus said.

“Look at me.” Shen Ye said.

Augustus looked at him and saw him enveloped in a faint Destruction Flame.

He had to arduously release the Power of Truth to combat the ubiquitous Destructive Power to stay safe.

But this guy—

“You need to be engulfed in Destruction Flames to avoid accidental harm.” Shen Ye said.

“Where did you get the Destruction Flames?” Augustus pressed further.

Shen Ye did not speak.

But behind him quietly emerged a colossal shadow, resembling an abyssal monster.

—The Ship of Destruction.

It had completely sided with Destruction, its core altered to “Destruction Evolution,” all its power converted to Destructive Power.

“Crafty and fickle fellow.” Augustus said disdainfully.

“No matter how, with Destructive Power, I’m safe here.” Shen Ye said.

“I get it—but what’s that got to do with the Original Spirit of Destruction?” Augustus asked.

“I have reliable information that only the Original Spirit of Destruction can delve deep into the Eternal Technique.” Shen Ye said.

“Is that possible…” Augustus pondered, “even an Original Spirit of Destruction can’t be immune to the Eternal Technique.”

“I can’t tell you that.” Shen Ye looked at him warily, as if afraid of revealing too much.

“Alright, let’s begin then.” Augustus said.

“Follow me.” Shen Ye said.

They leaped together, flying toward the towering crag.

They flew for a full quarter-hour.

Shen Ye’s speed quietly decreased.

“We’re close.”

Augustus looked up and saw a cave in the crag.

“Go.”

Shen Ye shouted.

The colossal shadow behind him flew swiftly into the cave.

Intense fluctuations of techniques emanated from the cave.

The battle quickly reached a stalemate.

“When we were here last time, we couldn’t conquer this Original Spirit of Destruction. Now it’s your turn to help.”

Shen Ye said.

Augustus glanced at him, then at the cave, looking somewhat solemn.

The Ship of Destruction couldn’t take it down?

—Then the combat power of this Primordial Spirit is quite strong.

Not to be underestimated.

Moreover, clearly something’s still being concealed, which they’re unwilling to share with me.

Then I’ll find out myself!

Augustus flew upward, wielding his Withering Staff, cautiously entering the cave.

He glanced back.

Baxter stood not far away, shrouded in protective black flames, looking somewhat tense.

Tense…

Afraid of failing to capture it?

A formidable attack suddenly came from the cave.

Augustus immediately waved his staff, releasing a protective technique.

The attack was promptly thwarted.

But the force contained in that attack was something completely new to him.

—A very powerful Destructive Power!

Like a towering mountain, it loomed over him with unstoppable force.
