Two hours later, the Richmond Family’s mansion resounded with dragon roars once more. Soon, a hundred Sacred Dragons soared around the prison cage, but this ti, the procession included a new expert, a master also wielding six swords on his back.
No one dared to approach; everyone could only watch from afar.
Yusuf Zuck’s heart bled at this mont. He felt a deep sense of helplessness. It was right in front of him, yet he couldn’t rescue them.
This indeed proved the saying true: in the face of absolute power, all sches and plots are futile.
Yusuf Zuck watched helplessly as the Richmond family’s team flew away, unable to do anything.
He didn’t even have a chance to get close. Invisible, Parasitic Light, Fla of Sins, Sky Power - they were all nothing against those powerhouses.
"Go back." He didn’t continue to follow nor did he plan to head to the Richmond Family’s Mainland, for he knew it would be in vain. So he needed to return, to gather strength, to beco Immortal.
The Door of the Other Shore opened, and with one step inside, he vanished instantly.
Wherever the heart is, the other shore is there. Through the Door of the Other Shore, he returned directly to the palace in Transient City in the Transit Realm.
He appeared directly above the Hall of State Affairs.
However, to his utter shock, when he stood firm and saw the scene before him, he almost fell because... because... sitting on his throne was another version of himself?
The man looked exactly like him, with the sa cultivation level and aura. Looking at him felt like looking in a mirror.
anwhile, a grand gathering was currently taking place in the hall, with Pri Minister Parker Berger speaking incessantly.
At this mont, however, everyone was dumbfounded. All the ministers stood agape, astounded as if another king had suddenly appeared before them.
"Hmm, didn’t expect you to co back!" The one seated on the throne, Eagle Watts, suddenly let out a creepy laugh, then spread his five fingers, reaching swiftly toward Yusuf Zuck.
"Ah, seeking death, are you?!" Yusuf Zuck was almost driven mad with rage, failing to rescue the simple-minded servant already left him heartbroken. Yet upon returning ho, soone had taken over his territory? Impersonated him?
At that mont, he lost all reason and fiercely struck out with the Hand of the Supre Heaven.
With a "boom", Sky Power clashed against Eagle Watts’ palm, causing the entire hall to collapse instantly. Yusuf Zuck was spit blood and flung out, landing on the plaza in front of the hall.
"Swish~" Eagle Watts appeared beside him in a ghostly instant, and said coldly, "What a Long Life King, truly deserving of the title!"
They exchanged blows, and Eagle Watts found Yusuf Zuck’s strength in his strike incredibly powerful and beyond belief, plus he couldn’t comprehend the nature of Yusuf’s power.
Of course, despite Yusuf’s strength, he was still knocked away, the disparity in cultivation realm being too wide.
Yusuf Zuck felt tumultuous inside; he realized this foe was only at the Eternal Life First Level, yet his strongest move couldn’t even harm him!
He was utterly defeated! Even forgetting the Richmond Family, this one at the Eternal Life First Level beat him so easily!
"Boy, it’s over, I’ll take good care of your Empire!" Eagle Watts sneered viciously and stomped hard towards Yusuf Zuck’s head!
"Whoosh~" Yusuf Zuck closed his eyes and disappeared instantly as Eagle Watts’ stomp created a huge crater on the ground, making the entire Transient City tremble thrice!
"Huh? Hid in a pocket dinsion? You’ll die anyway!" Eagle Watts sneered coldly, tracing arcs with his hand, conjuring a circular barrier containing a speck of light, which was Blue Sea and Cloud Sky. Although it was formless and intangible, he forced it to emit light and reached for it!
However, just when his fingers were about to seize Blue Sea and Cloud Sky, that light flickered and vanished from his barrier.
Yusuf Zuck fled, a humiliated, panic-stricken ss, abandoning even his Empire, for he had no other choice but to run!
Ninety-one Blood Beads were activated, with countless Divine Techniques, thinking at least he could roam this world with little opposition.
But he was gravely mistaken, even ignoring Patrick Ruiz’s realm, to be bested by soone at rely the Eternal Life First Level was unthinkable!
Before absolute strength, he was nothing but trash!
The newly acquired Divine power Barrier Divine Technique, the newly obtained Guan Yu’s Great Blade, were worthless against soone at the Eternity Realm!
He retreated into the depths of the universe, to an unknown world, unknown stars, unknown teors, unknown caves, curling himself up, shaking uncontrollably.
It felt as if overnight, all his previous pride was shattered. Facing the mighty Richmond Family, he felt powerless; facing the intruder of his Empire, the Eternal Life First Level, again he felt powerless.
Unable to save his simple-minded child, unable to save his Empire, he felt humiliation, helplessness, frustration, despair, confusion... not knowing where to go!
"No, no, there must be a way, there must be a way, I am Yusuf Zuck, I won’t give up!" Yusuf Zuck’s fists clenched once more. Over the years, what difficulties hadn’t he encountered? What crises hadn’t he faced?
To give up his Empire and subjects just because he couldn’t fight back against the powerful? To abandon his simple-minded child?
That’s not his style, not Yusuf Zuck’s way!
Besides, he still had the invincible Purple Blood Beads and countless Divine Techniques.
"Moreover, I still have Pig No Worries, Old Black Mountain Demon, and Uncle Qiu. They’re just half a step from Eternal Life, so while I can’t quickly reach Eternal Life, I can help them, can’t I? As long as they achieve Eternal Life, it’s akin to achieving it too!"
Upon realizing this, Yusuf Zuck suddenly felt a clarity wash over him. It was his own limitations, his lack of efficiently utilizing the resources at his disposal.
He always wanted to grow stronger himself, but by changing tactics, he found another bright path.
Many have relied solely on wisdom to rise to power, to dominate the world. Why couldn’t he?
As long as he held powerful weaponry and managed followers, what was that impostor occupying his Empire?
The more Yusuf Zuck pondered, the more he realized he had taken the wrong path before, the blind arrogance all this ti, squandering the resources he held!
Rationally speaking, with three powerful allies on the verge of Eternal Life, that’s a huge resource; though they couldn’t traverse Patrick Ruiz’s realm, nothing’s stopping them in the Transit Realm.
"Go to Patrick Ruiz’s realm." With a thought, he appeared again in Patrick Ruiz’s realm.
The Door of the Other Shore allowed easy access to Patrick Ruiz’s realm with no limitations.
He appeared outside Silver Dragon City, not directly inside, lest he was detected suddenly materializing within, which could be troubleso.
He appeared outside, then entered the city.
Having stayed in Silver Dragon City for four days, he was relatively familiar with it. After entering, he headed straight to a bookstore, seeking thods to achieve Eternal Life.
His current goal was to assist his three generals in reaching Eternal Life!
