Chapter 857: 845 Chapter 857: 845 “Yalista Dragon King, are you certain? As an Epic, you should be able to understand how astounding the secret technique you now hold is. Are you really going to sell it for just twenty drops of source power?”

“Aren’t we relatives now? So, I can’t possibly scam you. This secret technique has become a hot potato. Through this technique, you should be able to tell how powerful the race that controls it is.

I won’t hide it from you, ever since I acquired this secret technique, I’ve been pursued by this race. If nothing unexpected occurs, they will soon follow me to the Erathia World, and a war may very well erupt then.

By selling the secret technique to you, I’m essentially passing the buck. Once you’ve viewed this technique, it means you’ll be at endless odds with that race. Under these circumstances, charging you twenty drops of source power is already somewhat shameful.”

The Yalista Dragon King spoke very sincerely. As a high-intelligence being, she naturally knew that to trade with the Titan Tribe, it was best not to play any tricks and to be completely open and honest.

Those who think they can outsmart the Titan Tribe are mostly cold corpses by now. Do you really think that the strongest race in the world relies on mere fists alone to achieve its status? Well, mostly they do.

“To offend an Epic race? Bring it on!”

Upon hearing Yalista’s words, the Shiyu Dominator chuckled. Now, with an opportunity to make his entire race stronger before him, should he worry about offending some so-called powerful Epic race and let go of it? Ridiculous!

“I have traveled the Void for nearly five hundred thousand years and have yet to encounter a race our Titan Tribe cannot handle. This time, I’m actually eager to see what kind of race you’ve offended. Let’s see if our Titan Tribe can withstand it?”

“I too would like to see just how powerful the Epic race that chased you, forcing you to flee back to your Mother World in disgrace, truly is. How many among them are Eternals?”

“I do not know that!” Yalista replied with an embarrassed smile. If there truly were beings of the Eternal level from the Outer Realm Evil Gods targeting her, she likely wouldn’t have made it back alive, “But within their race, there absolutely exist Eternals.”

“Let’s proceed with the transaction! From today onward, our Titan Tribe will bear your calamity, and I shall protect you!”

The Shiyu Dominator spoke, extending his palm from which one drop after another of a resplendent liquid emerged, drawing the eyes of Muria and the Golden Dragon Mother. This was the power that could evolve all things.

It was also what Muria and the Golden Dragon Mother, who was on the cusp of advancing to the Legendary Peak, longed for most.

“Twenty drops of source power at standard measure!” The Shiyu Dominator separated twenty drops of source power from his being, a portion of the foundation he had amassed over tens of thousands of years.

“Here you go!”

The radiant, dream-like lustrous source power flew towards Yalista. The Shiyu Dominator made the payment first, as for them not receiving the secret technique, that notion was non-existent. A joke really, as they did not contemplate whose domain it was.

“That’s truly refreshing!” This was the first time in her life that Yalista saw so many drops of source power suspended in front of her. She was beaming with joy, but at this moment she did not let the source power cloud her judgement. She transmitted the source power secret technique she had memorized, word for word, to the Shiyu Dominator. Such techniques involving the foundations of a race were never inscribed onto any physical medium.

“Yalista, you have sold a source power secret technique to our Titan Tribe for twenty drops of source power, and I take note of this favor. I, the Shiyu, hereby swear that as long as I live, no Outer Realm Evil Gods shall harm you.”

After receiving the source power, the Shiyu Dominator closed his eyes to extrapolate briefly before opening them again. Two dazzling golden lights shot out from his eyes, tinting the great hall in a golden hue, showing the turbulence of his emotions. The Shiyu, he lost his composure, reaching a point where he couldn’t control his own power.

“I swear on the name of the Ancient Prison, before I fall, I will not allow any Evil God to come near you!” Seeing the Shiyu take the oath, the Ancient Prison Master immediately followed suit, trusting in the Shiyu’s judgment.

… One after another, the Epic Titans recited their true names and made oaths before Yalista, shocking both her and the mother and child standing behind her.

“This…” Hearing these Titans swear to protect her with their true names, Yalista was completely moved. She had truly witnessed what it meant to be Titans… utterly adorable.

“You don’t have to make such oaths. I, Yalista, became the Dragon King not by hiding behind others. If those who chase me really do come after me, I will join you on the battlefield!”

Yalista, overwhelmed by the oaths of the Epic Titans, spoke out as she too was moved by their spirit.

“Your Excellency Yalista, I believe you wouldn’t mind having a few more allies, right?”

A light voice suddenly came from outside the hall. Muria, who had just been stunned by everything that had happened, felt as if glorious radiance appeared in her eyes one after another.

“Can Your Excellency Shiyu Dominator allow us to come in? I heard from Michaela, this Child, that His Excellency Yalista Dragon King seems to also have intentions to trade with our Blazing Sky God Race!”

“Trade is trade, but aren’t you in a bit of a rush?” Sensing the Blazing Sky Gods coming from the Void, Shiyu Dominator chuckled and opened the entrance to the grand hall,
Then, one after another, handsome and valiant, like a string of incandescent suns, the Blazing Sky Gods filed into the grand hall used by the Epic Titans for deliberation.

“Your Excellency Yalista Dragon King, it seems you have completed a trade with the Titans. Now, may we proceed with our trade?” Upon entering the grand hall and exchanging pleasantries with the Epic Titans, the Blazing Sky Gods turned their attention to Yalista. Having learned of the existence of the Source Power Secret Technique, they couldn’t sit still for a moment.

Although Michaela had already obtained the secret technique, that was a personal gift from Yalista Dragon King. If they were to obtain the secret technique from Michaela, wouldn’t that be shameless? How was that different from stealing? It’s not as if they couldn’t conduct a legitimate trade.

“Of course, we can.” Yalista looked somewhat embarrassed towards the Epic Titans. No matter what, selling the same item to two parties seemed a bit ungenerous, but what she was selling was knowledge, not a tangible weapon or the like, so it wasn’t excessive, especially since she had risked her life to bring this knowledge back from the Void.

“May I ask at what price did you complete the trade with the Titans? We, the Blazing Sky God Race, are willing to offer the same price,” asked the leading Blazing Sky God, who appeared to be on equal footing with Shiyu Dominator, in a gentle tone.

“Twenty drops of standard portion source power,” Shiyu Dominator spoke up, and when he saw the look of surprise on the faces of the Blazing Sky Gods, he added, “Plus the protection of all our Titan Tribe’s Epics!”

“A very reasonable price!” Initially shocked by the extremely low price of twenty drops of source power, the Blazing Sky God paused for a moment, then smiled and said that such a price was indeed fair; otherwise, it would have been almost like giving it away.

What followed was just a matter of course; Yalista completed the trade with the Blazing Sky God Race, and the Epic Titans watched the scene in silence, without uttering a word.

“Now that both our Blazing Sky God Race and the Titan Tribe unanimously provide you with protection, could you, Your Excellency Yalista, please briefly describe the Epic Races that might pursue us to our World Community, and how powerful they are?”

“If you’re asking me about their overall strength, my answer is I don’t know. After all, the few guys who were after me weren’t particularly strong; otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to come here,
but from what I’ve gathered, they are said to have dominated three World Communities. You can infer how many Epics such controlled resources could nurture!”

“Is that so?” pondered the Blazing Sky God.

“Three World Communities, huh? Looks like there will be a fight when the time comes.” Even upon hearing such astonishing news, Shiyu Dominator remained unfazed. It only indicated that the race had a strong desire to dominate. If the Titan Tribe truly wanted to dominate the World Community, he too, had no idea how many World Communities they could rule.

…

“This is the Erathia World Community, stop where you are, outsider Epic. Without an invitation or permission, entry is prohibited. Otherwise, you will face the joint pursuit and death by the Titan Tribe and the Blazing Sky God Race within our World Community!”

At the edge of the Erathia World Community, a vast expanse of Black Mist obscuring the Star Domain spread forth, and just as it was about to encroach upon the Erathia World Community, a vast and saintly barrier of light appeared, blocking the advance of the Black Mist.

Then, one after another, slowly rotating Wheels of Light appeared in succession, and the grand, holy sounds of Sacrifice echoed through this Domain of stars, with a colossal Giant God of Light appearing behind the barrier of light.

“We have come to reclaim what we have lost, alien god. You have three breaths to move aside,” a voice of unmatched indifference emanated from the Black Mist.

“There is nothing here that you seek. Leave.”

“Do you know the consequence for those who dare to block the path of our Heavenly Demon Clan outside the Void?”

“Then do you know the consequence of trespassing the Erathia World Community?” The Star Sentinel replied indifferently, unmoved by the foreign god. No matter who it was or for what reason, all outsider Epics were forbidden to enter.

“Good, it has been a long time since someone dared to speak to me like this. Are you ready to fall?”

“You should ask yourself that question!”

Boom—
From the Void, a giant limb emerged from the Black Mist, lashing out viciously towards the Star Sentinel…
