Chapter 6478 Cao Wusheng

Chapter 6478  Cao Wusheng

They boarded the Ancient Star, directly traversing through the void.

After leaving the Divine Mountain, they traveled deep into the secret realm of the universe, walking a long distance before finally exhaling in relief.

"Bring that guy up!"

Jian Wushuang sat at the top of the hall, sipping a cup of tea.

His thought power focused directly on the Universe Master, whose gaze was vacant.

Suddenly, Jian Wushuang spat out the tea in surprise.

"Careful, he's the incarnation of a Universe God!"

No sooner had he spoken than vines extended from his side, one pulling Black Prison away, while another attempted to restrain the figure.

Boom!

The shadowy figure suddenly erupted with power.

Its strength surged, approaching the limits of a Universe God.

However, it never surpassed that boundary.

The explosion of power was merely raw force without any actual attacks.

Soon, the force began to diminish.

Jian Wushuang calmed down and released Black Prison.

Using the Gui Yun Vine to restrain the figure, he noticed the opponent's power was gradually weakening.

"Hmm?"

At that moment, the Ancient Star was flying at an extreme speed, rapidly leaving the Giant Serpent's secret realm.

Soon, the eight Divine Mountains encircling the secret realm were barely visible.

The restrained figure's power continued to decline.

Just as Jian Wushuang had predicted, the further they moved away, the weaker the opponent became.

The sudden burst of power earlier had merely been a desperate struggle.

Unfortunately for the figure, they were inside the Ancient Star.

Here, with its powerful restrictions, Jian Wushuang could suppress the figure without much effort.

With the added strength of the nine vines from Gui Yun, each with the power to surpass ten million units, he could easily suppress the figure.

In just the time it took for a stick of incense to burn, the opponent's strength had reached its limit—barely at the Tribulation level.

That should be his bottom line, Jian Wushuang thought as he loosened the restraints.

Only then did Black Prison dare to take a deep breath.

"Hmph, a mere Tribulation-level being dares to lay a hand on my master! Let me finish him off!" Black Prison growled, stepping forward to exert more force.

Jian Wushuang rubbed his forehead lazily. "Enough. Let him stand up and speak on his own."

Black Prison stepped aside reluctantly.

The vines retracted completely.

On the ground, a middle-aged man, curled up, slowly got to his feet.

His eyes looked no different from those of a human.

"Who are you people? Why have you imprisoned me?"

Jian Wushuang raised his hand and retrieved a small tower. "Do you recognize this?"

He wasn't in the mood for idle talk.

The Nine Prison Pagoda had already issued a warning.

The man was from the Divine Eye Clan. Although his appearance didn't quite match, he possessed their power.

That alone made him worth subduing.

"This is...?"

The middle-aged man, pale and haggard, froze when he saw the Nine Prison Pagoda. As soon as he felt the power emanating from it, his entire demeanor changed.

That power invoked a deep disgust within him.

It was a force meant to suppress his very nature.

"Still not talking?" Jian Wushuang frowned slightly.

He had been more than transparent.

He revealed his trump card right at the start.

Yet, the man acted as if he didn't understand.

It seemed Jian Wushuang would need to apply some pressure after all.

"Black Prison, give him a hint!"

"Yes!"

A wicked grin spread across Black Prison's chubby face as he slowly approached the man.

In his hand appeared a small black wooden rod.

It was a rare treasure, born from the universe itself.

Against a Tribulation-level opponent, it was more than enough. The main goal was to get the man to say what Jian Wushuang wanted to hear.

"Sir, wait...!"

"I can sense that you mean me no harm. But I should warn you—it's best to discard that treasure in your hand!"

"Oh? And why is that?" Jian Wushuang raised an eyebrow.

"You must know who I am?"

"I do."

Jian Wushuang nodded.

The man breathed a small sigh of relief.

"The item you're holding... did you obtain it from the Starry Sky?"

"You know about the Starry Sky?" Jian Wushuang's eyes brightened.

The other party wasn't just a bumpkin—he was very likely a powerful survivor of the God Eye Clan from before the Great Cataclysm.

And he knew a lot.

He might even know more about the other powerful members of the God Eye Clan.

For example, what exactly was hidden within the great formation inside the secret realm of the giant serpent?

"Of course, I know the Starry Sky! It was once my home!"

"You know the Starry Sky, so you must be from there too!"

Yet, he couldn't discern Jian Wushuang's aura.

It was formless, without shape or color.

On the outside, Jian Wushuang merely looked like an ordinary but quite handsome mortal.

Jian Wushuang toyed with the teacup in his hand and said, "What's your name?"

"Cao Wusheng!"

"And yours?"

"Jian Wushuang!"

The two nodded in acknowledgment, studying each other.

As for what they were thinking deep down, it remained unclear.

Jian Wushuang snapped his fingers, and both of them were instantly transported to a pavilion at the top of the mountain.

They sat across from each other.

"I'll be straightforward with you. I brought you here to find out what's hidden beneath the Sacred Mountain and… about your God Eye Clan!"

After all, Cao Wusheng was in his hands and could be thrown into the Nine Prison Pagoda at any moment. He could even open higher levels of the pagoda.

Moreover, Jian Wushuang had a premonition. If he could capture the God Eye Clan expert beneath the Sacred Mountain, he might be able to pass through the pagoda and unlock the ninth level.

At that point, it wouldn't just be about mastering the Origin Source of kings; he could even explore higher levels of the Origin Source.

So, this time, he decided to try a different approach.

Instead of rushing, he wanted to chat with the other party first.

Upon hearing Jian Wushuang's words, Cao Wusheng widened his eyes, then let out a cold laugh.

"Haha, young man, you're too arrogant!"

"Though I can't discern your identity, I can tell for sure that you're just a mere mortal. You only managed to capture me thanks to that plant life and this egg!"

"And I? I'm but a weakling among the many powerful God Eye Clan members. With just you, you think you can take on the entire God Eye Clan?"

"Why don't you try becoming a Universe God first!"

A Universe God?

Indeed, he wasn't a Universe God yet.

Even if he restored all his combat strength, he wouldn't be a Universe God.

He was merely a Universe Master of the Nine Tribulations Realm, who had stumbled upon a bit of fortune, allowing him to wield the combat power of a Nine-Star Universe God.

Dealing with the peak members of the God Eye Clan would certainly be troublesome.

"A dying clan. I'm not concerned!" Jian Wushuang, for once, allowed himself to be a little arrogant.

From his current perspective, the God Eye Clan was nothing more than a half-dead race.

If it weren't for Weiss throwing that Ten-Thousand-Willow into the mix, these God Eye Clan members would never have revived.

Jian Wushuang's audacity left Cao Wusheng momentarily stunned, a mocking smile tugging at his lips. "Young man, I'm truly curious. Where do you come from?"

"The power of the God Eye Clan is beyond your imagination. You may kill me, but don't even think about anything else!"

"How decisive!"

Jian Wushuang nodded slightly.

He had hoped the other party would voluntarily reveal some useful information.

But now it seemed like it was time for him to go inside.

Once he was in, he could reunite with some of his fellow clan members.

Swoosh!

The Nine Prison Pagoda appeared, descending directly upon Cao Wusheng.

Buzz!

A powerful force instantly sucked him in.

Jian Wushuang followed him inside.

This time, the fourth level of the pagoda could be opened.

Huh?

Wait a minute!

He still hadn't fully understood Cao Wusheng's strength.
