It was as if the moment it felt that evil aura, the killing intent on Master Crocodile's body instantly erupted. The air in the surroundings began to condense. Ye Qiu's breathing became tense and difficult to breathe.
"Is this the might of an Immortal Emperor? It's indeed terrifying." Ye Qiu truly realized what a terrifying existence an Immortal Emperor was.
Even if the other party was only an Immortal Emperor who was imprisoned in a cage and had suffered greatly, a slight thought from him could easily kill an expert above the Dao Sacrificial realm.
This was something that had completely surpassed the concept, a giant that had surpassed the boundary of heaven and earth. The ominous aura made Master Crocodile furious. His killing intent soared, as if the hatred hidden in the depths of his memory was slowly awakening.
He had fought against the ominous source his entire life. In order for his clansmen to survive in that dangerous environment, he fought alone. No one could understand how many years of heartache that was.
He was a failure! He was also an admirable pioneer. No matter how violent and murderous he was, it could not hide his many contributions.
Master Crocodile was furious! Many tragic images appeared in his mind, images he had experienced before.
Longevity Calamity. What was it? What was hidden behind the source? No one knew. After an unknown period of time, Master Crocodile recovered from his wrath. There was a hint of loneliness in his eyes. It was undeniable that no matter how angry he was, it was difficult to hide the fact that he was a failure.
"Immortal Emperor of the Wang Clan? What is this?"
From the future to the past, Master Crocodile's Insightful Eye had already understood the ins and outs of all of this. When he first heard of this Immortal Emperor of the Wang Clan, he was clearly stunned.
Clearly, there did not seem to be such an emperor, and he had never heard of this Immortal Emperor. According to his preliminary estimation, the other party should be a rising star, the Immortal Emperor who rose at the end of the Immortal Ancient. He had dodged the dark chaos and the great purge.
Back then, Master Crocodile, Celestial Thearch Zhen Wu, and the other experts of the heavens had all fallen to that cleansing. After figuring out everything, he looked at Ye Qiu and said, "You came to look for me because you want me to protect you, right?"
Ye Qiu nodded. Although this request was a little overboard, he had come prepared. However, before he could speak, Master Crocodile said, "Alright, I promise you! What bullsh*t Immortal Emperor of the Wang Clan? He's not qualified to be impudent in front of me."
He revealed an incomparably confident and domineering aura. In his eyes, there was no Immortal Emperor of the Wang Clan at all. He did not even take the other party seriously. This was his absolute confidence. It was still the same even after tens of thousands of years.
"Back then, I once received a favor from your master, Celestial Thearch Zhen Wu. This is karma! I have been imprisoned here for countless years. I'm afraid it'll be difficult for me to see the sky in this life, let alone end this karma. Since you're here today, accept this karma on behalf of your master. It can be considered to have resolved my final regret."
At this point, a trace of loneliness flashed across Master Crocodile's eyes. In the past, he was such a dazzling big shot. Unexpectedly, times were changing. The former Master Crocodile had now become a prisoner. Very few people in the future remembered him.
More than half of Master Crocodile's body fell into the swamp. His tone was extremely lonely. Times had changed. At this point, he was already on the verge of death and would never be able to make a comeback in his life. Why not use this last ball of warmth to help the disciple of an old friend? It could be considered to have fulfilled his wish.
Hearing this, Ye Qiu was deeply moved. The veteran from the Netherworld didn't lie to him. Although Master Crocodile was violent, he was loyal and knew how to repay kindness. The cause and effect of the past was his best answer today.
After confirming that Master Crocodile wouldn't hurt him, Ye Qiu walked closer and observed carefully. He discovered that there was a blood-red sword hidden in the black fog on Master Crocodile's back.
That seemed to be a treasure that suppressed all immortal energy. Judging from its aura, it was at least an Immortal Emperor Treasure. It was unknown which Immortal Ancient powerhouse had left it on him.
"Senior, I came this time to ask for your help. Secondly, I want to ask you to take up a post." At this point, Ye Qiu was finally willing to say his intentions.
As soon as these words were spoken, Master Crocodile's lonely eyes suddenly lit up. "Hmm? Invite me to take a post? Haha, brat! You're quite considerate. It's rare for someone to remember me after so many years. I'm already satisfied. However, the taboo that sealed me is not something ordinary people can shake. Do you think I haven't tried to break through the shackles in tens of thousands of years?"
Master Crocodile smiled. He was also grateful, but in the end, he shook his head with a bitter smile. Just like Celestial Thearch Zhen Wu, he was imprisoned in this forbidden area and could not see the light of day.
Once upon a time, he also wanted to break through the shackles and return to the former Immortal Palace to rebuild the mountains and rivers before fighting. However, the heavens did not do as he wished.
"Senior, I know that I can't easily shake this shackle. But since I'm here today, I must be prepared. Why don't I give it a try?" Ye Qiu smiled.
This time, it was Master Crocodile's turn to be moved. Could it be that Ye Qiu really had a way to help him escape? While he was surprised, he hurriedly looked at Ye Qiu. Ye Qiu continued, "Senior, have you heard of the Eight Desolates Burning Array?"
Master Crocodile was stunned for a moment before saying, "Is that the Eight Desolates Burning Array that can burn everything in the world?"
"That's right! There are records in the ancient books that at the beginning of the Immortal Ancient, an earth-shattering array, called the Eight Desolates Burning Array, appeared . This array is the strongest array in the world. It needs the baptism of the Nine Heavens Karmic Flame to be activated by entering the array with a holy artifact."
Master Crocodile nodded. Of course, he knew this array and knew very well how terrifying this array was. However, this array formation had already been lost. Moreover, even if it was not lost, it would be very difficult for ordinary people to successfully cultivate it.
This was because the core thing needed to activate this array formation was the Nine Heavens Karmic Flame. This was the supreme true fire in the world. Until now, the only person in the Immortal Ancient who could control this fire was the legendary divine beast, the vermilion bird.
"Child, I'm already very gratified that you have such intentions. As for whether I can leave this damn cage, it's no longer important to me." Master Crocodile's rotten body moved slightly. He shook his head, looking lonely.
In his eyes, Ye Qiu was just a talented young junior. How could he master the Nine Heavens Karmic Flame at such a young age? It was even more impossible for him to comprehend a peerless array formation like the Eight Desolates Burning Array.
That was the most difficult heaven-defying array in the world to cultivate. It had an extremely high requirement for a cultivator's comprehension.
It was impossible for Ye Qiu to satisfy all the conditions.
