Chapter 1058: The Golden River in the Sky

The water in Nine Tiger River flowed through the sky and trapped the three universe overlords. They quickly slowed down.

"What should we do? He has a domain type true treasure, and we can't even get close to him," said Ce Tian Knight, sounding anxious.

Demon Blade Knight, however, frowned. "Feather Dark Horde Leader, can you attack you using your illusion and slow him down?"

"No, I can't!" answered Feather Dark Horde Leader, sounding helpless. "He has incredibly strong willpower and a strong mind—I can only affect him to a very small extent. He's still able to fly and dodge perfectly."

Under soul illusion, some top-tier techniques might not be perfectly performed. However, it would still be easy to fly.

"Forget it," Demon Blade Knight said. "We can't kill him, as he has a domain type true treasure. Let's spare his life and leave."

"Okay."

"I guess we have to do this."

Ce Tian Knight, Demon Blade Knight, and Feather Dark Horde Leader started to fly back to their planets.

"Want to flee?" asked a furious voice, and the Golden Horned Beast started to chase Demon Blade Knight.

"Humph! You dare to chase me even after I spared your life?" Demon Blade Knight glared at the Golden Horned Beast coming after him. "Perhaps I might not be able to catch you in your domain, but don't blame me for killing you since you delivered yourself to me!"

"Sounds like my life is in your hands," said the Golden Horned Beast. "Hahaha… Hilarious! Demon Blade Knight, let's see who'll die!"

The Golden Horned Beast shook his wings and dashed at Demon Blade Knight. Under his burning godly power, his Shi Wu Wings slashed Demon Blade Knight! And the nine strange beasts in the Nine Tiger River also encircled Demon Blade Knight. The nine strange beasts were mighty and were able to severely injure secondary universe knights with the help of the Golden Horned Beast's godly power and amplification. As for universe overlords, though they were not able to hurt them, they could suppress their speed.

"You must be seeking your own demise," Demon Blade Knight said with disdain. He had scorned the Golden Horned Beast since the moment he first saw him. "You're too weak to fight me. And the only reason you're still breathing is your background, coming from the Space Beast Alliance and being bestowed an incredible true treasure… You couldn't hope to fight against me!"

Hong! Hong! Hong! Hong! Hong! Hong!

The noise was deafening as Demon Blade Knight and the Golden Horned Beast began to fight within the golden river.

The Golden Horned Beast was only able to concentrate on one enemy at a time. Ce Tian Knight and Feather Dark Horde Leader watched the fight from a distance, relaxed.

"He's just playing with fire," said Ce Tian Knight. "Not only did the Golden Horned Beast not flee with his domain type true treasure when he had the chance, but he dared to try to fight."

"Let's see how Demon Blade Knight crushes him," said Feather Dark Horde Leader.

The fight continued… One minute, five minutes, ten minutes… Although it was a fierce battle, it was the Golden Horned Beast who was haunting Demon Blade Knight. The Golden Horn Beast kept being hit, but he didn't back down. He continued bringing the fight to Demon Blade Knight.

Ce Tian Knight and Feather Dark Horde Leader watched, stupefied.

"This… Demon Blade Knight has burned one percent of his godly body at this point," Ce Tian Knight said with shock. "But that Golden Horned Beast's force doesn't change at all!"

"His godly body isn't weakened at all, even after burning for such a long time," said Feather Dark Horde Leader, also stunned.

******

Demon Blade Knight ceased being aloof and disdainful. Instead, he was distressed and furious. "His godly body hasn't changed at all after being hit for such a long time. But how? No wonder it's a senior true treasure armor!"

He sensed that the Golden Horned Beast was weak, and he even thought that the Golden Horned Beast hadn't triggered its third form. However, even the second form of a senior true treasure armor could weaken attacks to 1/1,000th.

"Even senior true treasures are useless. Break!"

A jade blade light tore through the golden river and slashed the Golden Horned Beast.

Pu! Pu! Pu! action

Pu! Pu! Pu!

Pu! Pu! Pu!

There were nine attacks in total, and each successive attack was more powerful than the previous one. The ninth attack consumed two percent of Demon Blade Knight's godly body. Now eight percent of Demon Blade Knight's godly body had been consumed.

"What?" Demon Blade Knight was terrified. He glared at the Golden Horned Beast. "His godly body isn't weakened at all?"

Howl!

The Golden Horned Beast howled and shook his wings. His wings tried to strike Demon Blade Knight again.

Demon Blade Knight was in a fluster now. "The technique in his attack is only mediocre," he said. "Apparently, his law comprehension is not deep enough to drive the third form of a senior true treasure armor! Besides, I have a senior true treasure godly blade, and I just performed the ultimate technique I've perfected an eternity in the Land of Extremis. Even a universe overlord with a senior true treasure armor should be severely injured."

Hong!

The Golden Horned Beast dashed toward Demon Blade Knight again.

"Demon Blade Knight, I already told you…!" the Golden Horned Beast shouted. "Let's see who will die!"

Demon Blade Knight's eyes glinted with fear as he finally understood the Golden Horned Beast's plan.

"Damn it."

Demon Blade Knight tried to fly away.

Hua! Hua! Hua!

Under the pressure of the golden waters, he wasn't able to fly fast enough! The Golden Horned Beast was 100 times faster than him, and he caught up with Demon Blade Knight instantly.

"Even if my godly body only has 42 percent left, it's a godly body with 600 million times that of a sector lord! It's millions of times stronger than yours! Besides, my Force Armor is a pinnacle true treasure! Even if you have a senior true treasure blade, and even if your technique is powerful, the Force Armor can weaken it to 1/10,000th… I might not be able to kill you! But I can slowly consume your body! You can't even run away under the influence of Nine Tiger River! You can only die!"

The Golden Horned Beast howled. Demon Blade Knight had lost all his pride and only wanted to fly away.

******

Ce Tian Knight and Feather Dark Horde Leader both understood what was happening, and they immediately left the domain of Nine Tiger River.

"Quick! Go!" said Ce Tian Knight. "Go!"

"What a terrific Golden Horned Beast…" Feather Dark Horde Leader said in amazement.

"The technique he used to defend against us was clumsy," Ce Tian Knight said. "It was like a technique from a secondary universe knight. I thought his true treasure armor only reached the second form, and I thought there was no doubt that Demon Blade Knight's ultimate technique would severely injure that Golden Horned Beast… But neither of us was correct. Demon Blade Knight's godly body was sharply weakened, but that Golden Horned Beast's godly body didn't change at all!"

Both Feather Dark Horde Knight and Ce Tian Knight were thrilled.

"He's dead," Ce Tian Knight said.

"Demon Blade Knight's definitely going to die," agreed Feather Dark Horde Knight.

Feather Dark Horde Knight and Ce Tian Knight exchanged eye contact. Both of them knew now that the Golden Horned Beast couldn't be killed. Demon Blade Knight couldn't run away under the pressure from the domain type true treasure. If he kept burning his godly body, his godly body would keep being weakened… And he would fall at some point! But if Demon Blade Knight stopped burning his godly body, he would be 1,000 times weaker, and Nine Tiger River would be able to keep injuring him… Demon Blade Knight would die no matter what!

******

Demon Blade Knight transmitted his voice reluctantly. "Golden Horned Beast, spare my life, please."

"No chance!" The Golden Horned Beast roared. "Wait for your demise!"

"You're pushing me!" Demon Blade Knight was infuriated.

"Yes, I am! Weren't you trying to kill me? Your law comprehension is indeed deeper than mine, but you'll die anyway!"

The Golden Horned Beast kept charging Demon Blade Knight, who had no way to escape under the pressure from Nine Tiger River. This was what made domain type true treasures so precious. This one could trap the enemies when the user was at an advantage, help the user get away when he was at a disadvantage, and slaughter weaker opponents all at once.

"You, you, you…!" Demon Blade Knight roared in exasperation.

"Wait for your death," the Golden Horned Beast said and kept charging.

Even if Demon Blade Knight was many times better at fighting than the Golden Horned Beast, his godly body was being weakened continuously. But he didn't dare stop burning his godly body, as if he did, his defending power would tumble. His godly body would then be consumed even faster.

60 percent… 50 percent… 40 percent…

His godly body kept being weakened, and so did his power. And as he lost his power, his godly body was consumed more quickly.

"Golden Horned Beast!" Demon Blade Knight roared. "If I'm resurrected by turning back time, I'll become a universe master and kill you!"

"Then I'll kill you again!" the Golden Horned Beast bellowed. "Remember, it's me who'll kill you… Don't look for the wrong one! Unfortunately, you're a universe overlord. Perhaps it will be difficult to resurrect you."

"Just—just wait for it!" Demon Blade Knight shouted.

He was from Nine Territory Alliance, and there wasn't a universe supreme master in that alliance. Once a universe overlord was killed… the Nine Territory Alliance would need to ask for help from other powers or some lone universe supreme masters, which would be costly. Demon Blade Knight wasn't sure whether the Nine Territory Alliance would be willing to pay the price.

32 percent…! Demon Blade Knight could feel his godly body being weakened, and he got more infuriated. If he didn't self-destruct, he would be knocked out, and his soul might be controlled. But if he did self-destruct, he would die. And perhaps he would remain dead forever.

"I'll definitely die if I don't self-destruct, but at least I might still have a chance if I do so," he said.

"Goddamn you, Golden Horned Beast!" Demon Blade Knight roared. "Ah!"

Hong!

Demon Blade Knight blew himself up with a cry. The energies from the explosion swept across Nine Tiger River and annihilated it after producing tumbling waves.

"Humph," the Golden Horned Beast said, looked at it coldly. "I was planning to have a conversation with you, but you insisted on robbing me. Unfortunately for you, your valuables are mine now."

He waved his hands. The two valuables flew toward him. They were a green armor and a jade true treasure godly blade.

"He only had two true treasures?" The Golden Horned Beast took the true treasures.

Ce Tian Knight and Feather Dark Horde Leader witnessed what happened and sighed. A universe overlord had just died.

Hua! Hua!

The waves were churning, and the Golden Horned Beast stepped on the waves and transmitted his voice, saying, "Ce Tian Knight, Feather Dark Horde Leader, are you still going to be my enemies?"
