The Peerless Emperor-Chapter 1280 - 1281: Their Death Must Not Be in Vain

During the earlier skirmish, they had already noticed the array above their heads, and were constantly on guard, cautious to avoid the array’s formidable attack power from striking them.

But after being cautious for a long time, they saw no movement from the array and gradually let down their guard.

Later, as the Huaxia Empire’s forces pressed harder during the battle, they had no time to consider whether the array was dangerous or not.

Moreover, there was no threat from the array throughout the fighting, and over time, they completely forgot about its existence.

Only when Lin Qian mentioned it did they realize the array’s purpose was to study them.

No wonder these people’s combat powers reached the heavens, and instead of swiftly killing them, they pushed them bit by bit, forcing them to reveal all their cards. The purpose was indeed for this.

"You really don’t miss any opportunity to study us," remarked the leader of the Eight-eyed Divine Race, who seemed to have accepted his fate, looking calmly at the lingering wraith of the minister above.

Their skirmish had lasted an entire month.

In the sealed world, spiritual energy remained abundant, and since they had cultivation technique powerhouses, their soul energy recovery rate was exceedingly fast.

During the battle, their recovery was also impressive, and the Huaxia Empire’s side pressed them steadily, little by little, squeezing them.

Defeated, utterly defeated.

And failure wasn’t frightening, nor was death frightening; what terrified them was the methods of the Huaxia Empire.

By analyzing their combat tactics, the Huaxia Empire deduced their cultivation techniques. How terrifying.

The civilizations from other chaos universes, who once reigned above them, did so precisely because of their leading cultivation techniques, superior skills in artifact refining, alchemy, and other crafts.

The skills the Huaxia Empire now displayed surpassed even their Netherworld Clan.

At least their Netherworld Clan couldn’t achieve deducing techniques by this method.

"Impressive, if they interrogated us, it would trigger the heart-devil oath, causing us to die instantly, not able to extract the cultivation technique." The Eight-eyed Divine Race leader sighed, "This way, not only do we not die, but we also give away the cultivation techniques and more information about our race."

"If I guess correctly, you also secretly observe and gather intelligence while attacking us in the outside world?"

Lin Qian nodded, looking at the Eight-eyed Divine Race leader in front of him: "Just as you thought. I’m curious, what are your two clans, one hidden and one open, doing in the Nine Heavens exactly?"

"Are you trying to open channels between the Flame Gold Clan and Cold Earth Clan?" Lin Qian smirked, "As far as I know, even if you obtain the Flame Gold Seal and Cold Earth Seal, without the Human Ancestor’s bloodline, how can you open it?"

"You know quite a lot, indeed." The Eight-eyed Divine Race leader smiled bitterly. He hadn’t expected Lin Qian to know even this.

Taking a deep breath, the Eight-eyed Divine Race leader spoke calmly: "Our two clans, when our exceptionally talented members intermarry, can give birth to Divine Sons, who only have two eyes, but three pupils."

"These beings are known in our race as Divine Sons, also called Six-eyed Divine Sons by outsiders."

"The divine light in the eyes of a Six-eyed Divine Son, coupled with the Flame Gold Seal and Cold Earth Seal, can completely break the channel’s seal, allowing the Netherworld Clan to invade en masse." The Eight-eyed Divine Race leader continued helplessly, "Unfortunately, our plan was exposed, and the people over there were eliminated by the Flame Gold Clan and Cold Earth Clan."

"We were puzzled as to why a flawless plan was discovered."

"Now it seems, you had a role behind the scenes."

Lin Qian nodded slightly, speaking calmly: "Six-eyed Divine Son, who would have thought, the divine light in his eyes can penetrate the array, using the power of the Flame Gold Seal and Cold Earth Seal to bypass the outer bloodline barrier and trigger the array."

The Eight-eyed Divine Race leader admired Lin Qian, who could deduce the divine light’s utility from mere conversation.

"Even if you know this, there’s no way to counter it." The Eight-eyed Divine Race leader proudly added, "Besides, the plan has failed, and we have no chance to open that channel, so it’s fine if you know."

"No need to explain, I know you’re just stalling." Lin Qian nonchalantly looked at the Eight-eyed Divine Race leader before him, "Chatting with you also reveals interesting insights."

"Just like your two clans intermarrying and producing Six-eyed Divine Sons, obviously your clans have similar inherent traits, and are marriage allies, close-knit."

"Perhaps, your ancestors had two eyes, each with triple pupils? But over time, they became the Four-eyed Spirit Clan and Eight-eyed Divine Race?"

The Eight-eyed Divine Race leader’s previously calm expression drastically changed, and the eyes scorched by the Eyes of Golden Flame of Sun Wukong opened, glowing with divine light.

The blood scabs on his eyes burst open, revealing the intact four-pupil eyes.

The Eight-eyed Divine Race, through two pupils among their four eyes, could send communication.

Throughout the month-long skirmish, he had secretly healed his eyes, intending to reserve them for a deadly move, which he never used.

Seeing the situation now, he knew survival was impossible; his only course was to send information back, informing the Netherworld Clan of the presence of the Huaxia Empire in the Nine Heavens.

A presence with the potential to grow strong enough to oppose these foreign civilizations, knowing the truth of their affairs.

That’s why he pretended to be calm, talked aimlessly to delay time initially.

But was his plot seen through by the opponent?

Suddenly, divine light burst from his pupils, flying towards the void.

The divine light contained information about the Huaxia Empire, aiming to let his clan know of the situation here, preventing the Huaxia Empire from silently growing stronger.

As the divine light fled, Lin Qian seemed unconcerned, still looking at the Eight-eyed Divine Race leader: "I knew all along you were stalling, you think there’s no preventive measure?"

Hearing Lin Qian’s words, the Eight-eyed Divine Race leader reacted, shouting to his followers: "Relay the message, we will surely die today, but we must not die in vain, our clan cannot be kept in the dark about this situation here!"
