Chapter 298: Lurking and Doubts

The vast abyss slowly retreated, finally returning to the Extreme Eastern Sea. If it weren't for the disappearance of the Heaven Beyond Heaven in the sky, everyone would have suspected that what just happened was an illusion.

Even the Divine Serene Emperor could not help but fall silent. He truly did not expect that the Demon Soil would be so powerful, capable of effortlessly erasing the Demon Mechanic Emperor.

More importantly, the confrontation between the two powerful beings, although the impact was limited, the faint ripples emitted during the battle made the Divine Serene Emperor realize that this was an enemy he could not match.

"Since the Heaven Beyond Heaven houses such a powerful existence, why didn't the Demon Mechanic Emperor take action and instead stay dormant for so long?" The Divine Serene Emperor was puzzled. He had fought the Demon Mechanic Emperor before, and the latter's strength was far inferior to his own.

Due to the great distance and various barriers, the Divine Serene Emperor did not know what the internal battle was like. He only observed the part where Hercules and the Terminator fought away from Qin Muye's territory.

Even so, a hint of madness flashed in the Divine Serene Emperor's eyes.

"Regardless, this indicates that the Tenth Realm of the Sorcerers is not the end; there are higher realms." The Divine Serene Emperor had never feared challenges. After becoming a Tenth Realm, he felt as if he had reached the world's limit, unable to advance any further.

Even though his divine consciousness was constantly growing, at his level, the amount of energy was no longer a decisive factor. What he needed was a profound transformation of his self.

Strengthening oneself was the eternal theme; only with sufficient strength could one survive better.

"However, the other party is too powerful for me to approach, and if the Lord of Demon Soil has such strength, why did he not take action like the Demon Mechanic Emperor?" The Divine Serene Emperor was puzzled.

Beside him, three distorted figures were projected, very blurry and ugly, exuding evil.

"The one who took action was not the Lord of Demon Soil. The Lord of Demon Soil is filled with pure evil, but the one who fought the Demon Mechanic Emperor did not have this evil." The Obsessed Demon said with a hint of apprehension.

"Not the Lord of Demon Soil?" The Divine Serene Emperor was also surprised, making the situation even more intriguing.

"It's not just that. The other party was not the Demon Mechanic Emperor either, but another being similar to him. This being had none of the emotions that the Demon Mechanic Emperor once possessed, as if it were a stone." The Greedy Demon said, his voice filled with fear.

The three great demons of Greed, Hatred, and Obsession were not afraid of madness or strength, but they were afraid of a being with no desires. If such a being were to act, it would surely exterminate them completely.

"It seems you were quite frightened as well." The Divine Serene Emperor chuckled and then said, "But this also proves one thing: we still have room to advance."

At this moment, neither the Divine Serene Emperor nor the three great demons of Greed, Hatred, and Obsession had the heart for conflict after so many years of entanglement. They realized that a stronger existence had emerged, and if they continued to fight among themselves, their fates would not be much better.

"No, this is not our problem, it's the world's problem!!!" The Hateful Demon roared, seemingly very unwilling. For him, he believed he should be stronger.

The Divine Serene Emperor completely ignored this. The three great demons had once said that the world's limit was them, and there would be no one stronger.

However, as one who had cultivated to his current level, the Divine Serene Emperor did not believe this. Although he had not undergone a qualitative change, the growth of his divine consciousness indicated that he was still becoming stronger.

Moreover, now that someone had genuinely broken this limit, he believed even more that there was no upper limit to the world, and that he had not yet reached that level.

As for what he could learn from their battle, all he saw were constantly exploding energies and various tangible and intangible force fields. He could not even clearly see the appearance of the combatants, so what could he possibly understand?

This world was not one where powerful beings could exchange insights and bystanders could suddenly grasp certain laws or techniques. More often, it was a case of the fire at the city gate affecting the fish in the pond.

Understanding certain combat techniques was even more absurd. They were all seasoned warriors; how could they not know how to fight?

The battle between Hercules and the Terminator was nothing more than a physical brawl. Only the final magnetic field rotation and the Dionysus' Dark Star had any real value. Otherwise, it was just ordinary mutual combat, with the Titans being more adept at close-quarters fighting.

If it were the Demon Mechanic Emperor, he might have been able to analyze new intelligent mechanisms from the battle. However, for the Divine Serene Emperor and the three demons of Greed, Hatred, and Obsession, they could only watch the special effects.

If the Divine Serene Emperor's divine consciousness dared to extend into the battlefield, it would likely be instantly torn apart by the magnetic fields and divine power, and might even backfire on him.

The Divine Serene Emperor was no fool; he knew this was a battle he could not interfere with, so he did not dare to release his divine consciousness to investigate.

"Perhaps, you should calm down, or I'll send you back to the Spirit Realm," the Divine Serene Emperor said calmly. He knew the three demons of Greed, Hatred, and Obsession each had their own flaws, and the Hateful Demon was prone to extreme anger.

"Hmph, I don't need you to send me. The world limits us, not our own limitations. They are not beings of this world," the Hateful Demon said angrily and then dissipated.

The remaining Greedy Demon and Obsessed Demon exchanged a glance but did not speak, and they also dissipated.

To them, the Divine Serene Emperor was currently in the state of Greed and Obsession, with both being even stronger.

This was good news for the two great demons; having desires made for better friends. A stone without desires would make them feel fear.

However, they did not dare to try to corrupt or erode the Divine Serene Emperor now. While he had desires, he had always had them. Just because he had desires, did that mean he could win?

If he couldn't win, he still couldn't win. Desires would not weaken the other side; they might even make the other side stronger.

Seeing this, the Divine Serene Emperor returned on his own. He planned to send an envoy to probe Qin Muye's intentions.

He really wanted to know why the other party had been lying low despite having such strength. With that power, why had they been so cautious and content to stay in one corner?

If the Divine Serene Emperor were to go personally, he would also be hesitant. Although he had always fought against the heavens and the earth, it didn't mean he had no fear. As a ruler, he still had the necessary foresight.

If he really went, and something happened to him, the entire Great Serene Dynasty would collapse. This was not what he wanted. The Great Serene Dynasty was his foundation, which he had built with great effort, not just for show, but to ensure its legacy.

"An Imperial-level existence, that's impossible. This world absolutely cannot have any existence beyond the limit," the Overlord of the Demon Bugs said, trembling as if recalling the days when he was dominated.

He was a King-level being, and above that was the Imperial level. The strongest existence before he came to this world was the Overlord level, ruling over all things, which was quite terrifying.

Although he called himself an Overlord, in the insect world he came from, he was merely a slightly stronger middle manager. The true upper echelons were Imperial-level insects.

"It must have been a subroutine of the Demon Mechanic Emperor that attracted it. He carries the protocol to exterminate life."

The Overlord of the Demon Bugs knew that the insect world and intelligent mechanisms had a significant advantage: they could be mass-produced.

Despite his dominance in this world, in his own insect world, beings of his strength were everywhere.

The same was true for the Demon Mechanic Emperor, who was just a subroutine. If needed, another one could be replicated in no time.

"The other party cannot lose; this world is doomed. I need to leave as soon as possible, or once I am detected..."

His insect race had a poor reputation across the myriad worlds. Although he had detached from the hive mind due to a minor accident and come to this world, the Demon Mechanic Emperor's extermination protocol was clearly activated, and he was definitely within the range of the hunt.

"The most common method is to converge the timeline; everything is already predetermined. Unless the Lord of Demon Soil has someone backing him, there is no chance."

The Overlord of the Demon Bugs was not a native like the Divine Serene Emperor and the three demons of the Spirit Realm. He was an outsider, just like the Demon Mechanic Emperor.

Both had escaped from a higher energy level world. To them, this world was just a small world, so it went unnoticed, and with their strength, they could easily rule it.

But now, there was no chance left. He could only run.

"Prepare the dark energy, stock up on enough resources, and leave this world. We can only wander in the void for a while."
