456: War, falling out

[Very soon, the spiritual liquid appeared.]

[They descended from the sky, manifesting in nine different colors: red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple, black, and white.]

[At the very moment they appeared, you immediately signaled Zhong Xu to seize the spiritual liquid and launched your attack, throwing out dozens of Fatal Strikes!]

["Bang!"]

["Bang!!"]

["Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang..."]

[Following a series of explosions, the Cultivators who were the first to approach the spiritual liquid were instantly turned into a mist of blood.]

[Zhong Xu seized the Opportunity and immediately gathered the majority of the spiritual liquid into his possession.]

["Zhong Xu, why are you here?!"]

[The yu nei heavenly dao roared in shock.]

[Clearly, Zhong Xu's appearance had disrupted all of his plans.]

[However, no one could provide an explanation for his question.]

[You continuously threw out Fatal Strikes to buy time for Zhong Xu, and he did not disappoint, successfully gathering all the spiritual liquid.]

[However, just as you intended to withdraw, the yu nei heavenly dao blocked your path.]

["Give me three drops of the spiritual liquid!"]

["I want the red, black, and white ones!"]

["Otherwise, you definitely won't be leaving this Secret Realm today!"]

[The yu nei heavenly dao said coldly.]

[He was no fool; after seeing you and Zhong Xu working together, he immediately realized that you two must be partners.]

[However...]

[You were not about to give up what you had already obtained. The moment he made his threat, you immediately turned hostile.]

[You unleashed a Fatal Strike instantly, and at the same time, Zhong Xu appeared behind the yu nei heavenly dao.]

[Perhaps you didn't expect that the yu nei heavenly dao would not panic in the face of such a crisis; with a flicker of his figure, he blocked both attacks.]

["Hmph, you don't really think you can kill me with this level of power, do you?"]

["Today, I will let you see what the power of the Heavenly Dao is!"]

[As the cold shout of the yu nei heavenly dao rang out, nine great suns instantly condensed above his head.]

[His attack instantly triggered a violent warning from your Crisis Awareness.]

[You immediately realized that the yu nei heavenly dao had become stronger!]

[At this moment, he was definitely several times, if not dozens of times, stronger than when he was in the Inner Universe!]

[This single attack alone was far beyond what you could compare to!]

[In his many resurrections, he must have mastered many things you did not know!]

[His previous pretense of cooperation was merely to use you!]

[This made a cold light flash in your eyes, and you immediately went all out.]

[By now, you had spent nine hundred and forty thousand years in the simulation, and the number of Fatal Strikes you possessed had reached one hundred and eighty-eight!]

[Although you had already consumed dozens of them, you still had over a hundred left.]

[To prevent any complications, you took out the majority of your remaining Fatal Strikes and threw them all at the yu nei heavenly dao.]

[In an instant, dozens of golden lights appeared out of thin air and collided with the nine great suns.]

[At the same time, the aura of the yu nei heavenly dao rapidly withered.]

["You!"]

["Damn it!"]

[He roared repeatedly, but no matter how hard he tried, he could not match the dozens of Fatal Strikes before him, and he soon fell into a desperate situation.]

[However, at this moment, another change occurred.]

[A massive aura suddenly erupted from the yu nei heavenly dao again, forcibly isolating the Fatal Strikes.]

[However, this was not a long-term solution.]

[This method of defense would bring a huge drain on the yu nei heavenly dao at every moment.]

[Although his aura looked massive on the surface, he was actually weak and hollow, all flash and no substance.]

["Fellow Daoist, how about we make a deal?"]

["Spare me today, and I can tell you whatever you want to know!"]

[Hearing this, you chuckled: "This doesn't count as a bargaining chip."]

["Once I wear you down to your last breath, I can search your soul at any time."]

["Hehehehe..."]

["I am the master of the River of Time; no one can search my soul."]

["Besides, although you are powerful, without my help, you will surely die in a few years!"]

[Hearing this, you immediately became interested.]

[However, you did not ask the yu nei heavenly dao about what would happen in a few years, but instead asked him why his strength had suddenly become so powerful.]

["Naturally, it is because there are some Opportunities that can help those of us who have not evolved. I sent out a large number of Heavenly Slaves to the Outer Universe to search in advance, and that is how I gathered all these Opportunities."]

["However, these Opportunities have now all been absorbed by me; even if I told you, it wouldn't be of any help to you."]

["Oh?"]

["Tell me the exact locations of these Opportunities."]

["I will go and verify them one by one. If there is even the slightest discrepancy in what you say, you can go die."]

[Hearing this, although the yu nei heavenly dao was confused, he still told you all the Opportunities he knew about.]

[He then begged you to withdraw these Fatal Strikes, promising that he would tell you everything he knew, without holding anything back, and that he would answer whatever you wanted to know.]

[Hearing his faint, dying voice, you immediately realized that this person probably really couldn't hold on anymore.]

[You quickly asked how to avoid the disaster in a few years, but this time, the yu nei heavenly dao remained silent and refused to answer.]

[Seeing this, you couldn't be bothered to waste more breath on him; you grabbed his head and refined him instantly!]

[But who would have thought.]

[You really had no way to search the soul of the yu nei heavenly dao.]

[The moment you touched his Divine Soul, the entire yu nei heavenly dao instantly dissipated without a trace, and there was not a shred of his aura left in the world.]

["To think that it really is impossible to search his soul."]

[You muttered to yourself, but didn't pay it much mind.]

[Because in your view, what the yu nei heavenly dao could explore, you could naturally explore as well.]

[Besides, you still had these Fatal Strikes and nine drops of spiritual liquid in your hands.]

[The path of exploration would surely be longer and broader than his.]

[Several hours later.]

[You took Zhong Xu and traveled repeatedly through the Void Realm, soon finding a relatively safe place.]

[You took out all nine drops of spiritual liquid and began to refine them one by one.]

[The black and white drops of spiritual liquid entered your body one after another, strengthening your Physical Body and cultivation respectively.]

[However, strong as you were.]

[Although the power you possessed was already far beyond the eighteenth Realm, you still failed to achieve a Breakthrough.]
