Chapter 1024: Enemies Meet





The originally fearless Zhao Yuying was now somewhat nervous and didn’t dare move a muscle . Only when the thunderous footsteps had faded away in the distance did she heave a sigh of relief . She stretched her tense body and discovered that she was drenched in cold sweat .

She quietly wiped away the sweat on her brows and inhaled several times . After collecting herself and calming down, she stood up and kicked at the nearby mound of dirt . “How long are you going to play dead?”

Following a howl of pain, the earthen color receded from the pile of earth and Wei Potian was kicked out of his disguise . He rubbed his butt, crying, “Can’t you be more gentle? I’ll be dead from your kick before I die of shock from that six-armed monstrosity . ”

“Look at yourself, scared like a chicken and not even daring to move . You even buried your face into the soil, how did the marquis even pick you as heir?” Zhao Yuying mocked .

Wei Potian wasn’t angry, however . “The moment I saw him, I knew I wasn’t his match . Even an ordinary divine champion will have to take a step back against him . I might not be afraid of death, but I can’t drag you down with me . I’m no good at concealment, so I can only use this method to hide my aura . ”

Zhao Yuyang spat hard . “Spouting all that righteousness, but you’re just afraid of dying . ”

Wei Potian’s face turned red . Without a word, he turned about and started running toward the source of the rumbling .

Zhao Yuying was shocked . Fortunately, she reacted swiftly by tripping Wei Potian and placing a foot on his back, stopping him from clambering up .

She prodded Wei Potian’s head with her hand-cannon, saying, “Are you nuts?”

Wei Potian said with an ashen expression, “I’ll go fight it out with that six-armed monster! I’ll let you see whether I’m afraid of death or not!”

Zhao Yuying was even more furious . She stomped down hard and cursed, “Do you even have a brain? Don’t you know the difference between being fearless and throwing away your life? What will I do if you die just like that?”

Wei Potian looked back at Zhao Yuying in surprise .

Zhao Yuying pushed the man’s head down with her hand-cannon, burying it into the soil . “What are you thinking about? What I mean is that a meat-shield like you isn’t so easy to find in this damned place . ”





Wei Potian could only nod since he couldn’t speak .

“Get up . This mommy will ignore you the next time you act confused, you hear?” Zhao Yuying shouted .

Wei Potian clambered up . His face was full of mud and dust, but he was all smiles .

Zhao Yuying spat . “What a wretched smile, almost like that Song Seven!”

This time, however, Wei Potian wasn’t going to take it . “How am I similar to that sissy?”

Amidst the laughter and noise, the duo suddenly sensed something . They turned toward the forest at the same time and stared intently in a certain direction . Wei Potian stepped in front of Zhao Yuying, his figure glowing with a yellowish radiance and faint projections of distant mountains .

At this moment, Wei Potian’s Thousand Mountains was ready to activate at a moment’s notice . He had reached a stage where he could unleash and retract his powers at will, an entire level above his previous achievement .

Zhao Yuying took a step back, her cannon glowing faintly and ready to fire . As specialists in defense and attack respectively, the two were able to cooperate perfectly .

The thicket in front of them shook as a cloud of black mist drifted out . There was a humanoid figure hidden within the smokey mass .

This was a demonkin . What else was there to say? Zhao Yuying locked onto the target with a cold smile, ready to fire .

The mist faltered and revealed itself, not expecting Wei Potian and Zhao Yuying to be here . The smoke receded to reveal the person inside .

“Eden!” Wei Potian exclaimed with a serious expression .

“There’s nothing to fear . This fellow is shrewd and ruthless, but I refuse to believe he can escape a blast now that I’ve locked onto him!” Zhao Yuying was disdainful . Despite saying that, her eyes were clear and the cannon in her hand was rearing to fire . It didn’t look the least like she was underestimating her enemy .





Eden had long since gained fame, so the Empire’s younger generation was familiar with both his name and appearance . He was an extremely dangerous character, one worthy of caution once encountered .

Eden narrowed his eyes . He hadn’t expected to encounter two difficult experts from the Empire here . His luck had been pretty bad since entering the Great Maelstrom . He had almost run into a six-armed general just now . That monster was going berserk for some reason, destroying all the trees in his wake as he ran . A stray tree-trunk even smashed Eden’s temporary hideout . How could he dare stay around after such a shock?

Just the might of that six-armed native’s movements told Eden that he wasn’t a match at all . He naturally had to run as far as possible .

Who would’ve thought he would run into Zhao Yuying’s cannon?

With an unsightly expression, Eden tightened his grasp on the Abyssal Tribute and arched his body in a combat stance . Losing his concealment removed most of his advantage, and he wasn’t quite confident about a melee brawl with the duo .

Eden glanced at the mountain projections in Wei Potian’s origin power, and then at Zhao Yuying’s hand-cannon . “Wei Qiyang, Zhao Yuying!”


Zhao Yuying laughed out loud . “Well, it seems I’m quite famous! I guess I didn’t kill all those dark race scum for nothing . ”

Wei Potian wasn’t too happy . “This daddy here is called Wei Potian!”

Be it in the Empire or Evernight, the younger generations would’ve gone into the battlefield at this level of maturity . Their fame among the opposing faction was mostly gained by killing . Eden, Wei Potian, and Zhao Yuying all knew one another and naturally understood that their opponents were difficult .

Presently, Zhao Yuying and Wei Potian were at an advantage . However, if they couldn’t kill him in one shot, the demonkin would run back into the forest . The tables would turn at that point because Eden was an expert in concealment and sniping—even Qianye had suffered somewhat in his hands .

Eden glanced into the depths of the forest . “Not fighting?”

Wei Potian was puzzled . “What do you mean?”

“Shut up!” Zhao Yuying glared at him . She then said to Eden, “We’re at an advantage now, why would we not fight?”

Eden shot her a glance . “Just a bit of an advantage, don’t think too highly of yourself . I don’t want to fight because I don’t want to die together with you two . ”





Only at this point did Wei Potian realize that a fight would involve origin cannons and guns . The commotion would spread like an avalanche, and it would surely draw that six-armed monster over .

They could all forget about living once that monstrosity was upon them . They had witnessed the terrifying speed with which the six-armed general was chasing a certain prey just now . None of them would be able to escape once targeted . This was the reason why origin weapons couldn’t be used in the Great Maelstrom . The biggest threat wasn’t the animosity between factions and powers, but instead the native monsters that might be drawn out .

Zhao Yuying replied, “You don’t want to, but that doesn’t mean we don’t . This mommy here isn’t afraid of death and taking you down with me isn’t a loss, anyway . If you don’t want to fight, take out something to convince me, otherwise, we can skip the useless chatter . ”

Eden pondered for a while before tossing a jar of wine to Zhao Yuying . “Take this and drink at your leisure . Also, I won’t be attacking you for three days . ”

It was actually a jar of white-fruit wine . Seeing the gift, Wei Potian’s expression became weird while Zhao Yuying blushed ever so slightly . She duly caught the jar and tossed it to Wei Potian . “Put it away . ”

The latter stowed the wine away in his spatial gear . The Wei family had given him their full support for his trip into the Great Maelstrom, going so far as to take out the treasures they had been hoarding . Comparatively, even Zhao Yuying didn’t have storage equipment .

After putting the tribute away, Zhao Yuying wasn’t in a rush to leave . “Aren’t the conditions too generous? What will you do if I attack you?”

“You won’t . ”

“Ha! What if I like catching you off-guard?”

Eden replied calmly, “Humans are mostly crafty and untrustworthy, but you’re an exception . ”

Zhao Yuying was surprised . “I have such a good reputation?”

Eden snorted . “I’m giving you three days because I made a deal with someone, and you happen to be related to it . ”

“What deal?” Zhao Yuying was curious .

“That, you don’t need to know . ” Eden wasn’t about to give her face .

It was at this moment that the three became alarmed .

The forest began to tremble as the shockingly heavy footsteps appeared once more, and it was coming in their direction!

The steps came at great speed . The six-armed general wasn’t sprinting deliberately, but it would move dozens of meters with every step, advancing great distances in mere moments . The dense forest could offer no resistance against him, either .

“We can’t escape!” Wei Potian exclaimed .

“Indeed, we won’t make it,” Eden chimed in .

“Duh! Start hiding!” Zhao Yuying stomped down to form a pit in the ground . This was the high-gravity region, and the soil here was as hard as steel . Even Eden was shocked at how easily she had excavated the pit .

Zhao Yuying kicked Wei Potian in after digging the pit . The latter knew how to cooperate—his origin power surged out to form a barrier of light over the opening, upon which Zhao Yuying arranged an array of branches and leaves . The setup seemed so genuine that Eden couldn’t help but feel surprised .

After the camouflage had been set up, Wei Potian let out a soft cry, and the origin power barrier rose above the opening . The elevation process was extremely stable and didn’t disturb the leaves in the slightest . This alone was enough to showcase his extraordinary cultivation .

Zhao Yuying jumped into the pit, and then beckoned to Eden . “What are you gazing around for? Are you looking to die?”

Eden jumped in after a brief moment of hesitation . Wei Potian then lowered the light barrier and duly sealed the opening of the pit . At a glance, this place was no different from any other part of the forest, and even the most experienced hunters would find it difficult to find any clues .

At this moment, a wisp of black energy spread out and covered up what remained of Wei Potian’s origin power aura .

Now everything was perfect .

The six-armed general arrived in large strides, scanning the surroundings with eyes like lightning . He stepped over the trio’s hiding place without sensing anything, and simply went on his way .
