534 Shifting Void Step (1/2)

Meanwhile, within the Heaven Warding Temple, following Sakra's arrival, Night and Blood Nether's eyes peered into the confrontation. Alas, as soon as Konrad appeared, they could no longer sense anything.

”He's finally out.”

Blood Nether beamed and stood up, ready to assail the Myriad Dreams Valley. But she'd not taken a step that Night's voice echoed.

”Where are you going? Did you forget your contract?”

He reminded as he sat crossed-legged in meditation. The words stopped Blood Nether in her tracks and she spun to confront him.

”We still have half a month before the deadline is reached. Nothing in the contract prevents me from attacking him in that period. To be frank, the only reason why I agreed was to free myself from him. I never planned to wait until then.”

Blood Nether replied, but hearing those words, Night shook his head.

”And you think he doesn't know that? You think he gave you your freedom back so that you could chase him throughout Heaven? Sister-in-law, be more lucid. If he doesn't want to be caught, you can never grab him. If he lets you charge, you're courting a disaster.”

Night chided in a cool, inexpressive tone that only heightened Blood Nether's ire. However, she restrained herself, pulling in a deep breath to control the flames of wrath swelling her heart.

”True, the contract ensures that once defeated he cannot escape. But what if he wins? In pure strength, I do not fear him. I refuse to believe that in a measly two months or time he can catch up to me. But the bastard possesses 10,000 tricks. What if he cheats his way into victory?

I can't give him the opportu...”

Blood Nether began, but before she could finish her words, again Night shook his head.

”You don't believe it, but I do. Transcendence and Nascent Infiniteness Insight in less than 70 years. Throughout the omniverse, where have you seen that?

Each Transcendence is thousands of times more challenging than the previous one, but he achieved triple Transcendence in less than 300 years. Throughout the omniverse, where have you seen that?

Add to that a Quasi-Firmament bloodline, a Firmament Bridge and a Forbidden Physique of who knows what level, and I'm sorry to say that in the upcoming battle, your odds are not favorable.”

Though cut mid-talk, Blood Nether was forced to agree that the words were more than reasonable. Her loathing of Konrad might have blinded her to the dreadful of his performance, but the fact of the matter was that even Regretless didn't have such a track record.

”I don't understand. The more reason we shouldn't wait for his arrival! Don't forget, my soul is at stake!”

She snarled in frustration. And this time, Night opened his eyes, staring into her crimson hues with his oppressing, jet-black eyes.

”What does it matter if his soul belongs to me? We will use the contract to lure him here and set up an impregnable formation with our Laws and Primordial Force as the front and my Nothingness Insight as the back. If he loses, the case is closed. If he wins, I will activate the formation to forever seal him in Nothingness.”

Night assured, causing Blood Nether's eyes to narrow.

”Did you take another step? Have you forgotten Regretless' warnings?”

She inquired in a tone laced with worry. Of their house, only Night cultivated Nothingness. Even Regretless didn't step on that road. In the past, Night rapidly reached Nascent Nothingness Insight, showing a talent in the craft that alarmed Regretless.

And for good reasons. Of all other paths to Supremacy, Nothingness was the only one that required personal sacrifices. With Nascent Insight alone, Night lost a good margin of his emotional spectrum. Therefore, Regretless forbade him to carry on, and he didn't. However, the times had changed.

”The situation called for desperate measures. If I didn't take that step, I couldn't free myself from Dragon Warden's curse. Don't worry, although with Profound Insight I've lost about everything, I still have the most important thing left. Nothing else matters.”
