CHAPTER 314: CHAPTER 299: TRICKED!

"What brings you here?" Wang Xu’s expression was indifferent, but waves stirred in his heart.

The son of the Two Kings, the silver-white alien standing before him, was the descendant of the Two Kings of the alien race.

Among the aliens, there are four kings, but only one can sit on the throne. The Two Kings, Three Kings, and Four Kings can only be considered subjects.

They have the title of king but not the rights of one. Even many super-strong aliens have more rights than them.

Thus, the title ’Son of the Two Kings’ seems glamorous but, in the alien Imperial Palace, is no different from being an ordinary subject.

"I heard Lord Si Sa was personally betrothed by the King and comes from Wu Meng... I’m very curious about what kind of person would make the King make such a decision," Erxiwei said with a charming smile, his fair skin and captivating smile particularly lethal to women.

"Have you seen enough? You can leave now." Wang Xu’s tone was cold. Erxiwei wasn’t the first; before him, many strong alien races had been watching from afar, equally curious to see what the person chosen by the King looked like. But Erxiwei was the first to say such a thing to Wang Xu.

"Lord Si Sa, I meant no offense. If I angered you, please forgive my impudence." Seeing Wang Xu’s unfriendly expression and a flash of anger in his eyes, knowing he had inadvertently offended Wang Xu, Erxiwei sincerely bowed his head to apologize, his face full of regret.

Wang Xu’s expression softened slightly. The aliens were always proud and arrogant, never apologizing easily. The son of the Two Kings here, though his actual position is not high, represents the royal family’s face. To lower his stature and apologize for a mistake shows this person may not be so detestable.

"To be honest, my real purpose in coming here was to see who had taken the woman I loved the most," Erxiwei said in a somewhat low tone, but he quickly returned to a brilliant smile. "Now I’ve met you, and you are even more exceptional than I imagined."

"Divine Mage, at the War King Level, with power matching the War God Level, among all the geniuses of the Divine Race I’ve seen, you are the most outstanding. I can understand why the great King made this decision; I concede wholeheartedly."

So Erxiwei, the son of the Two Kings, was fond of the Princess.

"It’s the King’s decision, and I can’t do anything about it." Wang Xu’s coldness began to melt. Seeing the one you love paired with someone else was a torment that could drive people mad. To the proud aliens, it was a great humiliation they would go to any lengths to remedy.

Erxiwei’s attitude made Wang Xu see him in a new light. His attitude was sincere, his eyes genuine, always greeting others with a smile. From him, there was no trace of resentment, no hint of complaint.

"The great King, every decision he makes is correct. He is the guide of the Divine Race, and we should have unwavering faith in every decision he makes." Erxiwei said devoutly.

"I hope to become friends with you, Lord Si Sa, may I?" Erxiwei looked at Wang Xu, his eyes filled with sincerity.

"You should know my identity. Everyone here curses me." Wang Xu chuckled bitterly.

"A Wu Meng defector? No, that is not your identity. You have made the Law Oath; you are one of us, the Divine Race, and you have a potential greater than any genius. I believe you can certainly become a super-strong being!" Erxiwei said steadfastly.

Wang Xu smiled slightly, "Thank you, Erxiwei."

"Haha! I like your honesty. They always call me ’Second Prince,’ but I dislike that name. No matter how glorious it sounds, it’s always basking in my father’s glory. But I don’t want that. I want my father to be proud of me. I want them all to acknowledge my strength. One day, I will become a strong figure everyone admires, don’t you think?" Erxiwei laughed.

"You will have that day," Wang Xu also laughed.

The two talked for a long time. Wang Xu never imagined himself so chatty. It seemed that in Erxiwei’s presence, he could open up, a person worthy of trust.

"I have to leave now," Erxiwei said regretfully. "I manage several Star Domains for my father, though the people below don’t need me. It’s just a way to give my father an answer. I hope these days end soon."

"Go on," Wang Xu said with a smile.

Exchanging a few pleasantries, Erxiwei turned and transformed into a white light, disappearing into the distance. However, at that moment of turning, Wang Xu didn’t see Erxiwei’s face, as his expression and eyes had become completely gloomy, a stark contrast to the sunny Erxiwei from before.

......

Since then, Erxiwei frequently visited Wang Xu, who also warmly received him.

During this time, the alien Princess came once. When she saw Erxiwei and Wang Xu chatting happily, surprise flashed across her face, but more so a look of joy.

Therefore, every time Erxiwei came back, the alien Princess would always follow closely.

The two exchanged few words, not even sparing extra glances, maintaining their distance as strangers. Wang Xu sighed helplessly and chose to devote himself to Cultivation, leaving the silence to the two of them.

In the blink of an eye, nine years passed, and Wang Xu’s power completely reached the Celestial God Realm.

In the Sand Tower, the master respected, stood on a Six-Star Cyan Blade, holding the Double-Headed Dragon Slash. His whole body emitted a golden light, radiant like gold, with a pure and majestic Fire Fury Dragon Lotus above his head.

"I’ve reached the limit. Without increasing my Life Index, I can’t advance my power." Master Wang Xu could clearly feel the bottleneck. The Life Level of the Celestial God Realm allowed his body, attack, speed, Secret Technique, Spiritual Consciousness, and everything to all reach the Celestial God Realm, except the realm had not truly entered the Celestial God Realm. Everything else had reached the current limit.

To break through the limit, the Life Index must be raised. Once the Life Index reaches the limit, Wang Xu can formally enter the Mixed Universe Realm and gain great benefits!

"Si Sa!"

Erxiwei’s voice came, waking Wang Xu from his Cultivation state.

"It’s been so long, I’ve always come to you. I’d like to invite you to my palace mansion. Would you be willing?" Erxiwei said, full of hope.

Wang Xu glanced at him, then noticed the unnatural expression on the foreign princess’s face behind him, and immediately understood.

"Sure, no problem." Wang Xu replied with a smile.

"It’s settled then!" Erxiwei said happily, but no one saw the trace of malice hidden in the slit of his narrowed eyes.

......

Erxiwei’s palace mansion was on the other side of the Imperial Palace. It was enormous, more grand and magnificent than Wang Xu’s, surrounded by transparent blue rivers with scattered starlight, which was quite beautiful.

"Si Sa, I’m taking you to a fun place. It was a hard find, follow me!" Erxiwei said mysteriously. Wang Xu nodded, his curiosity piqued about what Erxiwei mentioned.

"Let’s go!"

The two rode the Space-Time Whale, starting their journey in the void.

Only after leaving the Imperial Palace did Wang Xu ask, "Is the place far? I’m afraid I can’t be away for too long."

The ten-year deadline was approaching, and for Wang Xu to survive, he must marry the princess as the foreign king said.

"Don’t worry, it’s not far." Yet, this journey took a month.

The further they traveled, the more Wang Xu felt the surrounding starlight growing dimmer, as if they had entered the depths of the cosmos where even stars couldn’t survive.

Soon, Wang Xu saw a floating island in the distance.

The island was peculiar, like a spinning top, with sharp peaks both above and below, flat in the middle, an ominous red color, shrouded in strands of dark red mist.

"Haha, how about it, isn’t this island quite special?" Erxiwei laughed, "I stumbled upon this place when I got lost as a playful child and wandered away from the Imperial Palace. After me, you are the first visitor."

The closer Wang Xu got to the dark red island, the more uneasy he felt.

"Exciting, right? Isn’t your heart racing? This is the mystery of this island!" Erxiwei said.

Wang Xu didn’t speak, his eyes continuously studying the dark red island carefully.

The Space-Time Whale approached rapidly, but its speed gradually slowed. Eventually, Erxiwei put away the Space-Time Whale, taking Wang Xu to fly towards the island.

Once the two landed on this dark red island, Wang Xu’s expression changed.

"Sin, bloody sin, what is this place!" Wang Xu finally recognized that the dark red mist was the reflection of immense bloody sin.

Back in the Mortal Realm of the Heaven-Reaching Sacred Cosmos, the worst sinner he had hunted had sin spanning several hundred kilometers, but here, it was a whole light year!

What terrifying sin, what on earth happened here?

"Hehehe..." An eerie laugh came from behind Wang Xu. He turned sharply and saw a brilliant blue giant sword stabbing toward him!

Wang Xu’s pupils widened. Normally, he could react quickly to avoid an ambush, but the suddenness of this attack, combined with his shock at the island, caught Wang Xu completely off guard, his body uncontrollably falling back, spewing blood from his mouth.

"You... you... Erxiwei..." Wang Xu looked in disbelief at the attacker, who turned out to be none other than the brotherly figure, Erxiwei!

Wailing—

A hoarse howl came from behind Wang Xu, and he suddenly realized that the dark red mist had materialized, binding him tightly!

"Damn it!" Wang Xu exerted force to break free from the dark red mist’s hold, yet before he could gather his thoughts, dozens of dark red "blood hands" entangled him again, making it impossible for him to break free despite using all his strength.

"Haha..." A shrill laugh sounded. Erxiwei now had a grotesque face, a vicious gaze, a bloodthirsty grin, and his once white skin turned dark red. "Si Sa, how does it feel to be entangled by sin?"

Erxiwei laughed maniacally, showing his true colors.

"The throne is mine, you’ll never take it. Only I am worthy of marrying the princess, only I deserve the throne, making all the Divine Race people revere and bow down in devotion!"

"I, Erxiwei, am the sole ruler. Anyone who blocks my path can go to hell!"

"Si Sa, farewell!"

"Haha..." (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, you are welcome to recommend it and vote monthly tickets on Qidian (qidian.com). Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
