Chapter 162

In the Second Layer .

A figure emerged from the gorge and unleashed a devastating technique, causing the formation to flicker with dense cracks at the spot that was. .h.i.t .

"Reinforce the formation!" Emperor Ashton shouted, his voice echoing throughout the battlefield that was in their control through the defensive formations .

Individually, they were no match for these outsiders, but through the formations that their ancestors built, it was more than capable of stopping these Fifth Stage Cultivators .

Emperor Ashton and the other Fifth Stage experts were in the centre of a killing formation, destroying whoever showed up from the gorge .

Deep inside the gorge was were the spatial tunnel existed, connecting to the place where that Outer Hall Elder in the first layer was present .

"These rats! They"re sneak attacking every time, trying to break our defence formation!" Emperor Ruth had an ugly expression on his face .

"How many have we killed?" Emperor Claymore asked with a solemn expression on his face .

"157 Fifth Stage Experts . . . " Emperor Ross uttered with a solemn voice .

The Four Emperors had a grave expression on their faces . No matter how many times they saw it, it would confer them a sense of inferiority and the feeling of being a frog in a well .

Their Grand Sea Continent only had a few 5th Stage experts while the other side sends them to their deaths like they were cannon fodder .

This comparison and their perspective were a little hard for them to understand .

Every time the invasion of the outsiders ended, it invoked greed in their hearts, encouraging them to plunder other Empires for their benefit and growth .

"Hmm? Take over the formation . . . " Emperor Ashton noticed a slender but lonely silhouette emerge out of the secret entrance in a wobbling fas.h.i.+on .

He gave the control of the formation to another expert and hurriedly flew to his daughter who was coming out of the secret entrance, "s.h.i.+rley, why are you out so soon? Only half a day has pa.s.sed . . . "

s.h.i.+rley looked above, her fair face quite saddened, gazed at her father"s figure with some melancholy in her heart .

She quickly changed her expression and smiled wryly, "The hunt is over . . . "

Emperor Ashton landed beside her and nodded his head, "I see, the hunt is over . . . "

"Eh? The hunt is over!?" Emperor Ashton realised her meaning and widened his eyes as he asked with a loud voice .

The other the Emperors glanced at them with confusion visible in their eyes .

Suddenly, a few more silhouettes emerged from the distorted s.p.a.ce while experiencing the same discomfort when they first entered .

"Ahh . . . This is unbelievable! I can"t believe how much spoils we gained!"

"Yeah, luckily, we have our family to protect ourselves . . . "

Following them, even more, young elites stepped out as time pa.s.sed, making the experts guarding over the place, incredibly angry .

"Cowards! You are all cowards!"

"All of you value your lives that much?!"

"I didn"t think the junior generation would fall to this extent . . . "

Various disappointed comments echoed out from above, causing most of the youth"s expression to turn a little strange .

"Silence!!" Emperor Ashton shouted, making the experts shut their mouths .

He then gazed at her, "s.h.i.+rley, quickly tell father what had happened!?"

s.h.i.+rley opened up her mouth, causing the other experts to pay attention, "The outsider"s geniuses are dead, not one of them is left alive . "

Hearing her statement, the crowd went silent .

Jeering voices erupted around the area, "Hahaha, Emperor Ashton, It"s not that I am mocking you or anyone else for that matter but, I didn"t think that these youths would conceive such lies to save themselves pitifully . " An expert spoke with a distrustful tone .

"Speak for yourself . . . " s.h.i.+rley indifferently replied, not bothering to give respect to that expert .

"You!" That expert pointed at her with a fuming face .

Just when he opened his mouth to mock her again, no words came out of his mouth as he froze, gazing upon the sight that was placed in his view .

The elite youths all took out the corpses from their s.p.a.ce rings and extended their hands .

Their hands held some s.p.a.ce rings which did not look the same as the ones present in the Grand Sea Continent .

Some had many, and most had few while the remaining were empty-handed .

" . . . " Utter silence reigned on the area, making those youths unconsciously feel proud of being in the same generation of a certain person, but mostly proud of themselves for retrieving the spoils .

"This . . . What exactly happened?" Emperor Ashton asked with an excited expression on his face .

He could faintly guess what had happened because there was only one figure missing in this place right now .

The other emperors also left their formations as they handed it over to other experts and landed on the ground . They couldn"t possibly stay while seeing those numerous s.p.a.ce rings right in front of their eyes, an amount which could rival probably more than a single Empire"s wealth .

"Royal Father, it"s like this . . . " Kristo Ashton stepped forward as he slightly glanced at his little sister who seemed hesitant and explained .

He faintly could guess that his little sister was quite heartbroken from the earlier events, and to that, he could only shake his head .

Hearing his explanation of how they found only the corpses, their faces changed into one of pure disbelief .

"It is unexpected that Prince Davis"s proficiency in Soul Forging Cultivation was this tremendous . . . " Emperor Ruth sighed as he shook his head, while his tone was one of admiration .

"What do you mean it is unexpected? If I had a master like that senior, I would also be proficient in Cultivation!" Emperor Ross replied in a disgruntled tone, quite jealous of Davis"s strength .

"Then why don"t you have one? It is because you don"t possess the talent!" Emperor Ruth ruthlessly responded, causing Emperor Ross"s face to change with a slight harrumph .

"So? Where is he?" Emperor Ashton asked excitedly .

"Probably left to the other side, his master should be probably waiting there . . . " Kristo shook his head as he told his guess .

Emperor Ashton"s face went stiff before he made a slight sigh, "A pity . . . Truly a pity . . . "

He uttered that comment as he looked at s.h.i.+rley, causing the latter to tremble sightly .
