Chapter 1574: The Price of Hesitation

Roar!

Turmul roared as he opened his mouth and began to suck in everything, including the energies resultant from their attacks, devouring everything as the power of a Qilin was used to convert them into a spatial storm, thereby recovering his expended reserves quickly.

"How long can you activate it?" Krune asked Mon-Tu-Casha.

"For half a second," Mon-Tu-Casha replied. "This will be the first time I'm entering my Champion state as Champion of the Universe Realm. So, even half a second is pretty high."

"Save it up then," Krune said all of a sudden, sensing a mysterious power building up within Turmul. "We won't be able to kill him without taking risks. Turia is done with the initial preparations, so go and join her now."

"It has been a... different experience meeting you, Mon-Tu-Casha," Krune stated, acknowledging this enemy of his that he had allied with now due to circumstances, forced to fight on the same side.

In response to his heartfelt words of acknowledgment, Mon-Tu-Casha sighed a little, eyes turning moist a bit as she said, "I wanted to kill you the most. But, I request you one thing now, Krune."

"Please protect our world in my absence," Mon-Tu-Casha said earnestly, sensing a familiar aura from Turmul as suddenly, both she and Krune were sent flying.

Law—Power Storm!

The signature power of the God King now made its appearance in the hands of Turmul, for he had also devoured the God King, gaining his strength. Grinning, Turmul unleashed violent explosive attacks that sent his opponents flying before his eyes targeted the Universe Realm, intending to destroy and devour it.

Using the powers of a Taotie, by devouring the Universe Realm Core, he would surpass all the Chiefs in strength.

"Dad..." Mon-Tu-Casha became emotional, knowing that her dad no longer existed in the Graveyard of Gods, eaten and absorbed by Turmul. As they were fighting, Turmul was assimilating into his strength better.

And now that he swallowed the eighth-generation God King, he would soon adjust to his power enough to swallow the remaining seven God Kings. If he managed to do that, then it would be impossible to face him anymore.

He alone would become strong enough to take on all the Chiefs.

And thanks to the Law that the Chiefs had created to restrain Zule, they too couldn't interfere with Turmul, for he was a representative of this war.

This was what Turmul took advantage of to do everything boldly.

"Farewell, Krune," Mon-Tu-Casha stated as she controlled her tears, staring resolutely as she entered the Universe Realm, enduring the damage sustained from Turmul's attacks using her father's power.

She arrived before Turia, staring at her resolutely, "Do we have enough resources?"

"Barely." Turia nodded in response. "But if we do this, Krune wouldn't be able to rely on us to fight."

"If we don't do this, Turmul will continue to grow stronger. Besides, the Universe Realm is still unstable," Mon-Tu-Casha replied. "We need to do this whether to stop Turmul in his tracks or to protect ourselves in the future."

Turia teared up as she bowed to her. "We've only known each other for a short duration, but I thank you for your sacrifice, Mon-Tu-Casha."

"This is also my home now," Mon-Tu-Casha replied as her body began to dissipate, directly seeping into Turia.

Turia absorbed the entirety of her Law of Keys, causing the Universe Realm to become unstable as one of its three greatest pillars vanished all of a sudden.

Just as cracks began to form in its framework, the various Realm Spirits rushed towards the damaged locations, using all their powers to keep everything intact.

The resources procured from all over the Universe Realm flew into Turia as she used Mon-Tu-Casha's power to connect with the Greater Universe Law World.

...

"It's here," Zoitan-Kutang smirked as she stared at a heavenly power that slammed into the Graveyard of Gods, alerting all the Tiangou.

The Tiangou Chief riled up in response, intending to stop the beam, when a mysterious power stopped him in his tracks. It was the seal created by all the Chiefs that prevented any Primordial Beast apart from the eight representatives from attacking the Gods.

And as this was a method from the Gods, the Tiangou Chief couldn't interfere, flustered at the fact as he hurriedly contacted the Chiefs. "This is bad!"

"The Gods are taking control of the Graveyard of Gods."

"Dammit, first Turmul and now this. What the hell were you doing, Tiangou Chief?" The Kun Peng Chief's angry voice resounded.

"Let's reverse the Law we enacted first," the Taotie Chief said in a hurry. "We have to eliminate Turmul before he grows any stronger. He's already on our level. If he's given more time to digest his gains, he'll grow even stronger."

"Dammit, Zule fooled us entirely. To think he hid not one but two Primordial Beasts in the Kun Realm," the Vermillion Bird Chief stated in anger. "We have to reverse the seal."

All eight Primordial Beast Chiefs have to vote in favor, as only their joint action would reverse the law that had been created. Otherwise, it was impossible for any one Chief to go against it.

This was why everyone was stressing about revoking the Law. As they had created a law, they could destroy it anytime. The only factor was that all eight of them had to be on board, whether to create or destroy a law.

'Is this what Zule was thinking?' The Kun Peng Chief was worried for a moment, feeling that they were playing into Zule's scheme. Besides, he now understood what the Tiangou Chief had been planning all along with the Graveyard of Gods, understanding its true purpose.

The Tiangou's power to devour and gain the power of Gods from the Graveyard of Gods was something all Chiefs knew about. But, that never became a problem because irrespective of how many God Kings the Tiangou Chief devoured, he could never become stronger than the Kun Peng Chief or the Taotie Chief. At most, the Qilin Chief would be overtaken.

But, if they had known of Gegrafikan and Hazak's existence, Primordial Beasts that were Gods of the Kun Realm, the Chiefs would have done something about the Graveyard of Gods beforehand. It was already too late, though, as the Tiangou Chief was betrayed by Turmul, who took the powers for himself.

And hence, the Kun Peng Chief hesitated, wondering if Zule planted another means to steal Turmul's power or control him, for Hazak and Gegrafikan—whose power Turmul was banking upon—originated from the Kun Realm that Zule had created.

His hesitation delayed their action as before the Chiefs revoked the law, the Graveyard of Gods vanished, stolen by the Universe Realm.
