The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 2040: Profiting from Others’ Misfortune

Only a few people knew that the temporary seclusion of the Nuwa Palace Master was to prepare for breaking through the realm shackles, from Controller to Title Controller.

But even Ye Zhen and the others didn’t hold out much hope.

From Controller to Title Controller, this step is incredibly difficult. Controllers like Quin, Ye Zhen, and other Controllers from Ultimate Forces, as well as those at the level of the Chenyuan Emperor, have all been stuck at this stage for unknown billions of years. Over countless years, their powers may have increased somewhat, but they remain unable to break through to the Title Controller level.

At this moment, sensing the fluctuations of the Tao Aura from a Controller breaking through to a Title Controller, Ye Zhen and the others immediately thought of the Nuwa Palace Master, who might have succeeded.

”What?”

”The Nuwa Palace Master broke through?”

”Your Nuwa Palace Master from the Hongjun Heavenly Palace?”

Everyone present was dumbfounded, showing expressions of shock and amazement.

”Go take a look!” Ma Yi Ancestor waved his hand and said.

Clatter!

A group of people immediately went to the chamber where the Nuwa Palace Master was in seclusion, but naturally, before she came out, they wouldn’t rush in to disturb her. Although they sensed such Tao Aura fluctuations, without the Nuwa Palace Master emerging on her own accord, they couldn’t be certain about the specifics.

”We’ll wait here for a while!”

”Yes, if the Nuwa Palace Master has broken through successfully, she shouldn’t take too long to come out.” Du Ya Ancestor said.

The crowd did not wait too long, and the chamber was opened from the inside, with the Nuwa Palace Master in a flowing blue gown stepping out.

Surrounding the Nuwa Palace Master was indeed the aura of a Title Controller.

Title Controller!

”Nuwa Palace Master, you... you succeeded?” Vice Palace Master Ye Zhen asked, eyes wide.

”Yes, I succeeded!” The Nuwa Palace Master nodded.

”Haha, excellent!”

”With the Nuwa Palace Master becoming a Title Controller, we now have six Title Controllers.”

”Indeed, if we get one more Title Controller, we’ll have a chance to destroy the Devouring Sky Clan Fortress. If we can destroy just one, the threat from the Devouring Sky Clan army outside the Eastern Domain Main Hall will be reduced.” The crowd spoke up one by one.

These Title Controllers only talked about destroying one Devouring Sky Clan Fortress; they didn’t mention destroying them all because wanting to destroy three Fortresses was simply a fantasy. Once one Fortress is destroyed, the other two will surely retreat. As they retreat, accompanied by countless Devouring Sky Clan Lives for defense, the Title Controllers here won’t be able to stop them.

What everyone is thinking now is simply to force the Devouring Sky Clan to retreat.

Nobody is thinking about completely annihilating the Devouring Sky Clan army.

”Who should we contact next?”

”The Devouring Sky Clan Fortress is getting closer!”

”Within two hours, at most three, the three Fortresses will reach near the Inner Defense Circle. We can’t wait any longer.”

”...”

”Hmm? Yin Mountain Ancestor replied to my message?” Ma Yi Ancestor’s eyes flickered as he once again took out his communication treasure.

Yin Mountain Ancestor had sent a message back to him.

But when he saw the contents of the message, Ma Yi Ancestor’s face turned completely black. Everyone else looked at Ma Yi Ancestor eagerly, and seeing his face turn so unpleasant, they all sighed in dismay.

”Ma Yi, does Yin Mountain not want to come?” Du Ya Ancestor asked.

Ma Yi Ancestor shook his head.

”Yin Mountain Ancestor said he can come to help the Eastern Domain Main Hall resist the Devouring Sky Clan Lives, but there is a condition.” Ma Yi Ancestor said.

”A condition? At this time, he still wants to impose conditions? Ma Yi Ancestor, what condition did he put forth?” Valley Master Qi Ying asked, frowning.

”Yin Shan said he wants my cape. If I agree to give him the cape, he will come to the Eastern Domain Main Hall to help resist the Devouring Sky Clan army. And regardless of the final outcome, whether the Eastern Domain Main Hall can be defended, I must give that cape to him.” Ma Yi Ancestor said in a deep voice.

The voice was low, but it carried intense anger, which everyone present could hear.

Upon hearing Ma Yi Ancestor’s words, everyone present felt a surge of anger.

This Yin Mountain Ancestor is clearly taking advantage of the situation. Everybody present knew what the cape Ma Yi Ancestor mentioned was. That cape is Ma Yi Ancestor’s most powerful secret treasure, bar none. In the entire Endless Chaos, it’s hard to find a few treasures that can compare to that cape.

With this cape, Ma Yi Ancestor can almost be considered invincible in Chaos. With this cape, even if multiple Title Controllers teamed up to encircle and kill him, he could still leave calmly.

”It’s outrageous!”

”Yin Mountain, how can he be so shameless?” Du Ya Ancestor said angrily.

”I never thought Yin Mountain Ancestor could be so despicable.” Yihua Palace Master also said.

”Hmph, after the crisis at the Eastern Domain Main Hall is resolved, I will personally go to settle this score with him. It’s infuriating!” Du Ya Ancestor gritted his teeth.

...

On the edge of the Endless Chaos, within some chaotic turbulence.

At this time, there were two figures here.

One of them was Wei Zhen. Back when Wei Zhen followed the Void Divine Palace Master He Ming to attack the Hongjun Heavenly Palace, he was seriously wounded by Jing Yan and fled, never to be seen again. He has been hiding here ever since. His hatred for Jing Yan is indescribable.

If given the chance, he would not hesitate to dismember Jing Yan. However, he knows that Jing Yan’s current strength is incredibly powerful, and he simply is no match. If he goes to seek revenge on Jing Yan, the result would be only one: he would be killed. Therefore, he chooses to endure, hiding in the chaotic turbulence.

Alongside him is Yin Mountain Ancestor, a Title Controller, an ancient being of Title Controller level.

”Senior Yin Shan, do you think Ma Yi Ancestor will give you the cape?” Wei Zhen asked.

Wei Zhen is also quite familiar with Ma Yi Ancestor’s cape and deeply aware of its power. If Ma Yi Ancestor loses that cape, his overall ability would be reduced by a level.

”I can’t be sure, but I think he will hand over the cape.” Yin Mountain Ancestor, a shriveled old man, with a thin and small body curled within a black robe, looked gloomy and sinister.

”Ma Yi, compared to others, has a more pronounced weakness. He cares about Chaos and the Lives in Chaos, and to watch Chaos be destroyed would be worse than death for him. He should be willing to agree to my condition to guard the Eastern Domain Main Hall.” Yin Mountain Ancestor’s hoarse voice slowly said.

”We’ll see! If he agrees to give me the cape, I’ll personally go and take a look. If he doesn’t, I won’t have lost anything.” Yin Mountain Ancestor laughed.
