Within the Truth Void.
An enormous metal ship drifted along a boundless black river.
The metal ship kept trying to break out of the river.
However.
The river seemed enchanted. Whichever direction the ship sailed in, the river swiftly followed, keeping it enveloped in its waters.
The ship.
Could never break free.
"Still refusing to leave?"
Shen Ye murmured to himself.
-Now neither the Withering Scepter nor the Chaos Boat had a master, so they could not unleash their Ultimate Power.
But he and Xiatelai could work together to unleash three Ultimate Techniques!
Wouldn't that let them crush these two with ease?
But-
The encirclement had not lifted.
The black river surrounded the Chaos Boat, as though ready to attack at any moment.
Now that was interesting.
"Hey, it won't leave. Think of something."
The Chaos Boat's voice rang out.
"Why are you making me think of something again? You think of something too," Shen Ye said irritably.
Yes.
He had killed many of the Withering Scepter's puppet masters.
But-
Who knew how many masters the Withering Scepter actually had?
Putting himself in its position.
If he were the Withering Scepter.
Before entering battle, he would very likely leave one or two puppet masters hidden somewhere.
That would ensure he still had puppets to use after the other puppet masters died in battle.
Even he could think of that.
Could the Withering Scepter really be such a stupid stick that it couldn't even think of this?
He couldn't underestimate it.
Suddenly.
The Chaos Boat soared into the air and flew toward the distant, dark void.
The black river gave close pursuit.
The void ahead vanished, turning into an endless river of darkness.
The Chaos Boat's voice rang out again:
"Damn it, I can't get away! Do you have any ideas?
