Chapter 249 Wary
In the distance.
The cultivators of the Immortal Alliance, Limitless Star Palace, Myriad Beasts Sect, and Nine Cauldrons Sect had naturally followed as well.@@@@
However, stopped by Li Hanqiu, they halted nearly a billion miles away from the battlefield and were not allowed to come any closer.
For that, the members of the Immortal Alliance, Limitless Star Palace, and Myriad Beasts Sect were happy to comply.
The Immortal Alliance and Limitless Star Palace worried that Li Hanqiu might intervene at a critical moment to save someone.
As for the Myriad Beasts Sect...
They naturally enjoyed watching the chaos without minding how big it got.
In such a scenario, they could clearly see what was happening in the battle on planet 6713.
The unstable state of these Golden Core cultivators meant that, unless life or death was involved, a winner could easily be determined.
In short skirmishes, if one could win, then they won; if they could not, dragging the battle out too long would risk death due to the collapse of the Golden Core, even if they ultimately emerged victorious.
Therefore, in such situations, both parties would often choose to resolve matters peacefully.
It was precisely for this reason that Miller and Zhan Ke did not hesitate to use the top Spiritual Treasures, the Space-Splitting Disk and the Chaos Heavenly Ruler, after their initial tests.
When these two Spiritual Treasures were deployed, Lu Xi, Qiao An, and their companions were clearly excited yet nervous.
Excited...
Because they believed that with the cooperation of these two top Spiritual Treasures, they would surely accomplish a Fatal Kill on Alkaid.
As for the nervousness...
It was due to the fear of Li Hanqiu falling into madness after Alkaid's death.
At this moment, they were all on high alert.
But the result...
Turned out to be disappointing for them.
Although the attacks from the Chaos Heavenly Ruler and the Space-Splitting Disk brought some danger to Alkaid, they evidently did not truly harm him. Utilizing his superior Divine Sense, he treated the Chaos Heavenly Ruler as nothing.
This scene naturally made Feng Ao, Lin Deng, and Luo Fu look extremely solemn.
Being able to withstand the attack from the top Spiritual Treasure, the Chaos Heavenly Ruler, meant that Alkaid's Divine Sense strength had indeed reached the pinnacle of the Dharma Phase, just as Feng Ao had said!
Such a formidable existence was virtually unsolvable in today's Cangwu Great World.
Even if the three Dharma Phase Cultivators of the Immortal Alliance and Limitless Star Palace joined forces, they might not be able to contend with Alkaid.
It was no exaggeration to say that he was now qualified to declare himself the number one Dharma Phase cultivator.
"Damn!"
Feng Ao cursed inwardly.
It was at that moment that Alkaid changed his tactics.
He quickly approached Miller and Zhan Ke, the two Golden Core cultivators, constantly dissolving their attacks with the Elemental Rupture Technique.
Although this method was somewhat unrecognizable to the other Golden Core cultivators, they knew that such a secret technique was surely targeting the structure of their Golden Cores.
Immediately, not only the Golden Core cultivators from the Limitless Star Palace and the Immortal Alliance, but even Myriad Beasts Sect's Ye Lin and Fu Long were visibly more solemn.
If Alkaid could threaten Miller and Zhan Ke with this tactic, he could likewise pose a threat to the Myriad Beasts Sect.
Situation in the field took a drastic turn shortly after Alkaid deployed this tactic.
Once Miller's Golden Core structure was destroyed, Lu Xi could no longer sit idly by, "Enough, Alkaid has already proven his strength, and we acknowledge that the Nine Cauldrons Sect has regained its status with two great Golden Cores. Let him stop."
Li Hanqiu, however, paid no attention to Lu Xi, his eyes fixed intently on the battlefield a billion miles away.
With his current state of Golden Core, if he were hit by another Elemental Rupture Technique, he couldn't guarantee that he would have any hope of salvaging his crumbling Golden Core.
As for a full-scale war...
Unless there truly was no other choice, who would want to really flip the table?
Given any possibility of survival that Alkaid offered, they would not fully self-destruct.
This, Miller understood very well.
The higher one's cultivation, the more clearly they understood the essence of this world.
His breathing fluctuated continuously.
Seeing that Alkaid's Elemental Rupture Technique was gathering form again, he quickly made a decision, "I'll give them to you!"
In another ten or twenty years, the mighty ones from Northern Sea Star would return; in other words, they just needed to endure another ten or twenty years for the situation to turn around, so why gamble with their lives over pride.
Immediately, he swiftly detached each Spiritual Treasure from his body, "I hope you keep your word, otherwise, I will trigger the explosion of the Golden Core inside my body. Being so close, a full-scale explosion of a Sunburst Golden Core... won't be easy on you either."
"As long as the Immortal Alliance engages in dialogue with our Nine Cauldrons Sect based on strength and stance in the future, our Nine Cauldrons Sect will not make things uncontrollable," Alkaid stepped forward, and quickly retrieved all six Spiritual Treasures from him.
Among these six Spiritual Treasures, the other five were ordinary and provided minimal boost to the strength of someone in the Golden Core Realm.
The truly valuable one was the Space-splitting Disk.
Nevertheless, obtaining five additional Spiritual Treasures out of the blue was a significant gain, allowing him to further progress his "Immortal Path: Hollow Void".
"You can leave," Alkaid dismissed him.
Miller, silent, concentrated on maintaining his Golden Core state as he quickly left.
Alkaid's gaze then turned to the fleeing Zhan Ke.
With a body of Star God Level, his Crimson Red Golden Core could contain much more explosive power.
After some pursuit, Zhan Ke soon realized that unless he operated his Golden Core with all his might without regard for the state of his Golden Core, he could not escape Alkaid's pursuit before meeting up with Qiao An and the others.
And once the state of the Golden Core went out of control, who knew how long it would take to stabilize it again.
"Damn it!" Zhan Ke cursed internally, then turned to face Alkaid behind him and said sternly, "True Person Alkaid, we acknowledge your strength now. Let's end today's battle here; does the Nine Cauldrons Sect really want to completely fall out with our Limitless Star Palace?"
"It's not that I want to fall out, but that you're too obstinate. Leave all the Spiritual Treasures behind, and I will let you leave; otherwise..." Alkaid glanced up briefly at the distant Qiao An and others who were trying to reach him but were stopped by Li Hanqiu, Ye Lin, Fu Long, and others, "I don't mind killing a Golden Core to whet my appetite."
"You..."
A flash of anger crossed Zhan Ke's eyes.
However, as a top-tier power, his rationality still made him suppress his evil thoughts, lest a fit of pique worsens the situation beyond repair.
He took a deep breath, swallowed all dissatisfaction and fury, and said gravely, "A loss is a loss! Just as you said, I am willing to hand over these Spiritual Treasures as compensation. From today, True Person Alkaid is recognized as the thirty-fifth top-tier Golden Core in this era."
As he spoke, he rapidly removed each Spiritual Treasure from his body, including the top-tier Spiritual Treasure, the Chaos Heavenly Ruler.
Alkaid collected these Spiritual Treasures.
He too understood that under the circumstances where any Golden Core had the capacity to flip the table and destroy the Cangwu Great World, this was indeed the best outcome.
As Alkaid collected these Spiritual Treasures, Zhan Ke and Miller quickly left, and half a day later, they rejoined the other Golden Cores of the Immortal Alliance and Limitless Star Palace.
Alkaid then departed from that starry sky and reunited with Li Hanqiu.
Seeing Alkaid nearly unscathed after achieving a splendid victory against two, Li Hanqiu couldn't help but nod vigorously even though he had been somewhat prepared, "Good! Well done!"
Alkaid gave a slight smile, showing no pride.
However, after a discussion among the Golden Cores of the Immortal Alliance, Limitless Star Palace, and even Myriad Beasts Sect...
Everyone looked at Alkaid with a hint of wariness.
Finally, Qiao An of the Limitless Star Palace stood up and said solemnly, "Li Hanqiu, Alkaid, I think the agreement that Golden Cores should not interfere with the affairs of the Cangwu Great World needs to be renegotiated. Otherwise, if every Golden Core threatens to destroy the Cangwu Great World at their whim, one day the situation will spiral out of control, and we will be scorched by our fires."
