Dongfang Jinglong finished speaking:
Chen Qingyu frowned and questioned:
Why should we cooperate with you?
"You have become the common enemy of the five major alliances, and you also control the King of Creation. To cooperate with you is tantamount to seeking a tiger's skin!"
It is obvious:
The former is merely an excuse; the latter is what is truly worrisome.
Even if Dongfang Jinglong wasn't lying, once they entered the fifth level and the King of Creation regained his power, this woman could turn on them without warning, and they would have no way to stop her.
It can even be said with certainty:
Once the power of the King of Creation is restored, Dongfang Jinglong will definitely eliminate them without the slightest hesitation.
No one was willing to share the legacy of Great Emperor Kunyu and the treasures of the fifth level with anyone else.
The risks involved are too great. No matter how tempting the fifth level of the Divine Throne may be, it's simply not worth the risk for Chen Qingyu and his companions.
"Good!"
The Emperor Venerable Qinglu, standing to the side, also revealed a hint of wariness:
"No matter how eloquently you speak, it's all just empty promises."
"We won't cooperate with you. Figure out your own way to escape."
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Jinglong sneered, seemingly unsurprised:
" Emperor Venerable Qinglu, you killed Dongfang Lingluo and also obtained a lot of secrets about the Divine Throne."
"Once those Emperor Venerable arrive and discover the presence of the Emperor Venerable Baihua, they will immediately be able to connect the dots and deduce many truths. Do you think they will let this opportunity slip by?"
"Since you don't want to cooperate, then leave! I'll go to the fifth floor alone!"
" Chen Qingyu..."
Emperor Venerable Qinglu turned to look at Chen Qingyu and quietly transmitted his voice:
"We cannot cooperate with this woman. Once we enter the fifth level, our lives will be out of our control."
"How about... you abandon this fragment of the Heart of Myriad Realms and leave with us?"
"Those Emperor Venerable are only after her, not us. As long as we leave the Divine Throne and go far away, we'll be safe."
Hearing her words:
Chen Qingyu hesitated for a moment, then firmly shook his head and said:
"No, this fragment of the Heart of Myriad Realms is too important to me; I absolutely cannot give it up!"
"Having missed this golden opportunity, I may not find another suitable chance for me for the next ten thousand years."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Venerable Qinglu frowned and advised:
"This is too dangerous!"
"Once those Emperor Venerable arrive, and you're mixed up with Dongfang Jinglong, you'll most likely be implicated!"
Chen Qingyu's eyes flashed, and he slowly said:
" Your Emperor Venerable need not worry about me."
"I have one last trump card that can absolutely guarantee my safety."
He looked at Emperor Venerable Qinglu and said in a deep voice:
" Your Emperor Venerable, please take the Emperor Venerable Baihua and leave the Divine Throne first."
"I will stay here. Once I have completely refined the fragments of the Heart of Myriad Realms, I will find a way to escape."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Venerable Qinglu offered a few more words of persuasion, but finding Chen Qingyu's attitude resolute, he could only helplessly say:
"... Okay, take care of yourself."
" Baihua and I will leave Kunyu Continent first. After you've escaped, we'll find a way to reunite."
"Um."
Chen Qingyu nodded solemnly.
soon:
After bidding farewell to Emperor Venerable Qinglu Emperor Venerable Baihua Chen Qingyu broke through the lake's surface and left the fourth level of the Divine Throne.
Of the fragments of the Heart of Myriad Realms, only Chen Qingyu and Dongfang Jinglong remained.
"You really have guts..."
Dongfang Jinglong sized him up, a hint of interest in her eyes:
"They've all run away, and you, a Quasi-Emperor, actually dare to stay here?"
As she spoke, she waved her hand:
I don't care what you think.
However, my promise remains valid.
"If you are willing to relinquish your manipulation of the fragments of the Heart of Myriad Realms and stop trying to suppress my methods, I will give you a chance to come with me to the fifth core level."
"As for what you can get on the fifth floor, that depends on your own abilities."
Upon hearing this, Chen Qingyu raised an eyebrow and said calmly:
" Dongfang Jinglong, you've probably misunderstood."
When did I ever say that I wanted to cooperate according to your wishes?
Upon hearing this statement:
Dongfang Jinglong's expression changed, a hint of anger flashing in her eyes:
"So what do you mean?"
"It's very simple."
Chen Qingyu remained calm and slowly said:
"I will stay here and thoroughly refine this fragment of the Heart of Myriad Realms before heading to the fifth level with you."
"I will not leave this place even for a moment until then."
"If you want to cooperate with me, you have to follow my terms."
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Jinglong was immediately filled with shock and anger:
"You're insane!"
"Those dozens of Emperor Venerable will arrive, and in a single exchange, they will be enough to reduce you to dust, annihilating your body and soul!"
"You, a mere Quasi-Emperor, can you possibly contend with so many Emperor Venerable?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Qingyu smiled nonchalantly:
"I wouldn't have dared to do that anywhere else."
As he spoke, his gaze swept across the giant scrolls around him, and he said, word by word:
"But if it were here, I would have considerable confidence."
"The power of the Heart of Myriad Realms certainly surpasses that of your King of Creation. Even if there is only a fragment, as long as it can be fully utilized, we have nothing to fear from the siege of those Emperor Venerable."
"Once I've completely refined this fragment, you can use your methods to lead us to the fifth level."
His idea was also very simple:
With his current cultivation level, unless the laws are perfectly aligned, refining this fragment would be a pipe dream.
This means:
He absolutely could not allow this fragment to return to its original form before it was completely refined; otherwise, with his power, it would be impossible for him to move the complete Heart of Myriad Realms.
On the contrary, as long as he can refine this fragment, even if he returns to the original body of the Heart of Myriad Realms, he can use it as a fulcrum to gradually devour and seize the boundless power of the entire Heart of Myriad Realms.
Therefore, the opportunity to refine the fragments only comes once; once missed, it will never come again!
" Quasi-Emperor Taiyu! You're absolutely insane!"
Dongfang Jinglong seemed to understand his plan as well, and said through gritted teeth:
"No wonder you dared to stay. You thought that as long as you refined the fragments of the Heart of Myriad Realms, you wouldn't be afraid of the King of Creation, right?"
"But have you ever considered that if you fail, you will Wanjie and die without a burial place!"
"You've staked both of our lives on this!"
Chen Qingyu looked at Dongfang Jinglong and shrugged, saying:
"Then you can choose not to gamble."
"As long as you leave here, and the Emperor Venerable won't come after me, your life or death will be none of my concern."
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Jinglong's expression immediately darkened.
leave?
Are you kidding me!
Once she leaves the fragment of the Heart of Myriad Realms, even if she escapes the Divine Throne and the Kunyu Continent, she will be hunted down to the ends of the earth!
There was nowhere for her to hide in the entire Myriad Dharma Dao Domain, and she didn't even have a chance to escape to another Dao Domain.
Their only hope of survival lay in reaching the fifth level of the core, a place inaccessible to even the most Emperor Venerable.
"Very good, very good..."
Dongfang Jinglong gave him a deep look, her voice low and deep:
"It seems you've got my life in your hands and are now acting with impunity!"
