Eternal Thief

Chapter 1732: Aftermath & Result of Evernight Trial (8)

Just thinking about dominating the entire Abyss of Wandering Souls that no one in the history of the First Abyss had ever been able to achieve made the three Evernight Kings’ blood boil.

The Evernight Fiend King clenched his fist, the Evernight Devil King’s eyes grew deep, and the Evernight Demon King quietly stared at Lord Seeker.

But just then, Lord Seeker’s cold voice instantly shattered their imagination, "Hold your horses, little ones. I think you guys are indulging too much in your fantasies here."

The three Kings froze while Lord Seeker sneered, "Although your thoughts aren’t wrong."

Their expressions changed subtly, but Lord Seeker wasn’t done, as he stated, "But don’t try to chew more than you can eat."

The three Kings remained silent with a hint of confusion as they all looked at Lord Seeker for an explanation. He looked deeply as his countless eyes became solemn.

"Just because you weren’t affected this time doesn’t mean you won’t be affected next time. Just as you said, the Undead Realm was already an anomaly, and its origin is also connected to the Undead Race." He looked directly at the three Kings and coldly stated, "Even after spending so many years searching and analyzing it, you never understood that realm or were able to find its origin. Also, you don’t understand what happened inside it. And most importantly..."

His voice became colder. "You don’t understand why the Abyssal Ordeal retreated."

The three Kings’ expressions gradually became serious as Lord Seeker continued, "So, don’t mistake surviving an anomaly for understanding it. There might be a chance that you are right, but there’s also a chance that you’re not. After all, greed is always the beginning of destruction."

The three Kings lowered their eyes with contemplation as Lord Seeker’s words had struck directly at their hearts.

Although they were already standing at the absolute peak of existence, precisely because they had reached this level, they understood something even more clearly. The higher one climbed, the more terrifying the consequences of a single mistake became.

The Evernight Devil King finally sighed, "You’re right, Lord Seeker; we almost overlooked the bigger picture."

The Evernight Demon King nodded, "We won’t return there."

The Evernight Fiend King also reluctantly nodded, "We’ll remember your kindness."

Lord Seeker’s expression softened slightly. "Good, as long as you guys understand and won’t jeopardize the Evernight Sanctuary’s safety. Moreover, you three have existed for long enough to understand that patience is also a form of strength."

The three Kings exchanged another glance as they had already reached the apex of the Evernight Council. As long as they continued advancing steadily, they would eventually surpass the Abyss of Wandering Souls.

They didn’t need to gamble everything on an unknown realm and become sinners who destroyed the Evernight Council merely because they were blinded by greed.

Lord Seeker’s eyes flickered with approval before a hint of cunning surfaced in them as he ambiguously said, "Although you can’t go back there, it doesn’t mean others can’t ’discover’ its spatial coordinates and establish a realm gateway.

"After all, there are still three more Organizations of Abyssal Kings in the Abyssal Plains. Who knows, maybe they might be braver if they heard the ’rumors’ of a realm that can help with Abyssal Ordeals.

"At that time, it won’t be too late to ’seek permission’ from them ’politely’. But only when they ’completely’ conquered it!"

The Evernight Kings’ eyes instantly brightened when they heard Lord Seeker’s words and realized what he was trying to imply.

Lord Seeker was telling them to use the others to pave the way for them and test the waters. If there was really danger in the Undead Cradle, then it wouldn’t be them suffering, not to mention the danger would descend into the Abyssal Plains, not into the Evernight Sanctuary.

Moreover, if those Abyssal Kings ended up provoking some ancient existence within the Undead Cradle, then they would incur disaster on themselves and their organizations.

At that time, the Evernight Council could simply sit back and watch.

But if nothing happened, and the Undead Cradle was really just a special realm that blocked the Abyssal Ordeals, then the Evernight Council would swoop in and snatch it back.

In both cases, the Evernight Council will end up at the top!

The Evernight Demon King instantly replied with a mischievous smile, "I’ll properly arrange everything, Lord Seeker."

Lord Seeker glared at her as he retorted, "Arrange what? Just don’t implicate me in your little plays, little third, or I’ll lose face in front of those two old grumps!"

Evernight Fiend King’s lips curled up in disdain, while Evernight Devil King smiled helplessly, and Evernight Demon King winked playfully.

However, none of them commented on this anymore, as Lord Seeker had already given them a plan; now it was up to them to execute it.

Now all of them understood one thing: the ancient treasures within the realm core weren’t just mindless artifacts, but they all carried ancient wisdom, especially Lord Seeker, and they might’ve had underestimated them in the past, but not anymore.

The Evernight Devil King masterfully changed the topic as he looked toward Lord Seeker and said, "Now, Lord Seeker, please inspect the others as well, if it’s not too troublesome for you."

Lord Seeker immediately smiled, "You’re too polite, little second. It’s not trouble at all."

He waved his enormous hand. "Compared to inspecting you two, especially little first, those little brats are a piece of cake."

The Evernight Fiend King’s face darkened. "Do you have a grudge against me?"

Lord Seeker ignored him and looked at the Evernight Devil King. "Little second, bring them here!"

The Evernight Devil King looked at him as he understood what he was implying. "Everyone?"

"Everyone." Lord Seeker’s countless eyes flashed. "Anyone who entered that realm."

The Evernight Devil King nodded. "I understand!"

Lord Seeker suddenly pointed toward the vast darkness above the Regal Void. "But don’t bring them into the Regal Void."

The Evernight Devil King raised an eyebrow. "Then where?"

"Above us." Lord Seeker’s eyes gleamed. "Create a solitary space there. A space isolated from the rest of the Sanctuary. It’s not a problem for you, right?"

The Evernight Devil King understood instantly; that way, even if something unexpected happened during the evaluation, the main Sanctuary wouldn’t be affected.

"Understood."

He stepped forward, and his hand slowly extended.

’HUM!’

Instantly, space began to distort, and the surrounding laws immediately trembled.

The Evernight Devil King’s terrifying power spread outward, and the void itself seemed to become liquid beneath his control.

Thereafter, his fingers slowly closed.

’BOOM!’

An enormous spatial vortex appeared, and the Evernight Devil King looked toward the distant darkness where the Realmbreaker Conquest Ark was located.

"Come!" His voice was calm.

The next instant...

’RUMBLE!’

Almost instantly, the space surrounding the Realmbreaker Conquest Ark violently distorted.

Inside the isolated Ark, countless Evernight Dukes and Marquises suddenly looked upward in shock.

The Midnight Duke’s expression changed. "What is happening?"

Before anyone could react...

’SHUA!’

The space folded, and the enormous Realmbreaker Conquest Ark disappeared from its original position as if it didn’t move through space, but space itself moved around it.

Layer after layer of spatial barriers folded together, and the Evernight Devil King dragged the entire Ark through countless layers of the Evernight Sanctuary with a single motion.

Even the Ark’s inner powerful space-sealing formation couldn’t resist because it was the Evernight King controlling it, so it simply allowed itself to be carried along.

Thereafter...

’BOOM!’

The enormous Ark emerged above the Evernight Regal Void, and the entire vessel floated within a completely isolated expanse of dark space that he had just prepared in an instant.

The Evernight Devil King withdrew his hand. "There."

Lord Seeker’s countless eyes immediately turned toward the Realmbreaker Conquest Ark, and a playful smile appeared on his enormous face!
