Chapter 769: Chapter 692: Great Temptation_2
Vanessa turned around and looked at the terrifying figure in the sky, issuing another invitation to him.
“Lord Tiam, are you sure I can get involved in such a grand battle?” Ivan felt a bit insecure.
“Underestimating again? I only need a dium to exert power, and you happen to carry plenty of suitable things. I’ll ensure you’re safe.”
“Alright, I’ll give it a try. I’ll be grateful for Lord Tiam’s protection.”
Vanessa, being the Mother of All Things of the major plane, with their proud nature, would disdain to lie. Ivan weighed the options and chose to agree.
…
In the sky, although the Eye of Evil from the Nightmare Plane had arrived, it seed to have fallen into a deep sleep, hanging there motionless, with only the foul aura constantly emanating from it, tainting everything around it.
“Eye of Evil, what are you doing? Hurry down and help. Together, let’s turn this plane upside down.”
“Eye of Evil, don’t forget who summoned you. We’re aligned in position; if things go bad for , you won’t be well off either.”
“Bastard! Are you just watching, hoping to reap the benefits? You’re dreaming.”
“Big eyeball, I—–”
The Shadow of Annihilation sohow managed to bring the Eye of Evil, who once inflicted severe damage on them, and ironically, the guy pretended to play dead and was unresponsive to all kinds of persuasion, making the Shadow of Annihilation curse in fury.
This equally surprised everyone else.
However, the curses from the Shadow of Annihilation did have an effect, causing the Eye of Evil to open its eye, filled with madness and viciousness, clearly not soone to be trifled with.
“No more pretending? Hurry down and kill these guys with ,” the Shadow of Annihilation coldly said.
“How dare you, how can you do this?” The Eye of Evil seed just awakened, shocked by the current situation, followed by a surge of rage.
He clearly didn’t want to be here, having so unspoken troubles.
“What?” This response feels off, the Shadow of Annihilation felt puzzled.
“Damn scoundrel, do you know what you’ve done? I’ll tear you to pieces!” Furious, the Eye of Evil descended in a flash, tearing toward the restricted Shadow of Annihilation.
An exciting drama unfolded.
“Bastard! There’s a Chaos Contract between us. Aren’t you afraid of serious backlash for acting recklessly?” The Shadow of Annihilation fud with anger, he wasn’t looking for an additional enemy to kill himself.
“Bullshit contract, you ambushed , do you still have the face to speak, do you think you’re very capable?”
“Stop! What do you actually want?”
“How you brought here is how you’ll send back, or else I’ll devour you piece by piece, you bastard.”
“You want to breach the contract?”
“Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! I’ll definitely devour you.”
Both were anxious in their own way, yet couldn’t agree, resulting in an internal clash that left onlookers dumbfounded.
Elsewhere, Ivan was prepared to entrust himself to Vanessa, join forces with her to eliminate the imminent trouble.
Seeing this scene, Ivan abruptly stopped, preferring to observe since soone else had already taken on the task.
“The Eye of Evil is not as powerful as it was during its last assault; its strength has drastically reduced over just a few decades, which shouldn’t be the case.”
Vanessa softly said, her voice reaching Ivan’s ears.
“Really?” Ivan was puzzled.
“This reminds of a rumor, about the feud between Nightmare and the Gods Plane,” Vanessa continued.
“I hope Lord Tiam would elucidate,” Ivan couldn’t help but ask.
“The power of Nightmare is like an elusive dream, as if a nightmare strikes, with dozens of Lords of Calamity and Masters of Heavenly Horror beneath, surpassing the progenitor level by tenfold, maybe more. By this asure, no plane matches the Nightmare Plane.”
“That’s terrifying.”
Upon hearing this, Ivan’s pupils shrank; it was excessively powerful, equivalent to ten Danailas.
No wonder no one dared to provoke the Nightmare Plane, whoever provokes it faces death.
However, Ivan keenly sensed sothing amiss; with the Nightmare Plane’s conduct, other planes should have long been obliterated.
“But the Lords of Calamity and Masters of Heavenly Horror are as illusionary as dreams because their relationship with Nightmare isn’t a Guardian one but through another thod—power lending.”
Vanessa explained candidly, seemingly unaware of the flaw Ivan discovered.
“Ah! May I ask, Lord Tiam, if it’s the loan process I understand, the ‘lend and repay with interest’?” Ivan asked incredulously.
“Indeed, it’s that kind of lending. Nightmare Plane is like this, and so is the Gods Plane. The difference between the two is, the forr has a low threshold, lends a lot once, with high interest, requiring a large interest repaynt periodically, failing which the consequences are severe.
The latter equates to long-term lending, with a high threshold, relatively small loans, low interest, borrowing without imdiate repaynt worries.
The result of this is that Nightmare needs just a period to cultivate nurous supres and progenitors, while the Gods Plane takes more years to accumulate, yet also surpasses other planes.”
Vanessa further explained, straightforwardly pointing to the essence of the relationship.
“You an the Eye of Evil has a substantial interest due, and maybe while repaying it, the Shadow of Annihilation pulled it here.”
“The Eye of Evil might be employing its own thods to reduce or delay that interest, like self-sealing, now disrupted by the Shadow of Annihilation.”
“Indeed, no wonder it’s so furious, seems the consequences of failing to repay the interest are truly dire.”
Through Vanessa’s detailed exposition, Ivan finally understood the intricacies of the interests involved, greatly shocked and broadened in insight.
“This is the inevitable price of coveting power.”
Vanessa nodded slightly, suddenly rembering sothing, hastily added: “You and I are different, we have reached a Guardian relationship, our powers complent each other, benefiting both sides.”
“Lord Tiam, I already explicitly refused before.”
Seeing this, Ivan felt a mix of amusent and frustration, reiterating once more.
“I said, you needn’t rush to respond,” Vanessa wasn’t easily dismissed, casually shifting the subject: “Let’s get ready to join the fray, witness my foundation.”
“Lord Tiam, what do I need to do?”
Ivan tightened inside, promptly consulting.
“You have a Wise Lamp on you, take it out, I have so wisdom power to grant you, gifted by the Wisdom Elder residing in the Ash Plane.”
Vanessa pondered a bit and replied.
Ivan briefly lost focus, realizing then followed her instructions to take out the True Wisdom Lamp, currently an elentary Original Force Treasure, barely a step away from interdiate.
When the Wise Lamp reached Vanessa’s hand, in just a few seconds, he noticed the True Wisdom Lamp surpassed the interdiate boundary, transforming into an interdiate Original Force Treasure.
This effortlessly saved him lots of effort.
“In the past, the Wisdom Elder visited Ash, we had pleasant discussions, even jokingly inviting to traverse the Star Realm River together, though I, as such an entity, cannot leave this plane.”
“The Wisdom True Fla, most suitable for confronting deranged beings like the Shadow of Annihilation and the Eye of Evil.”
Vanessa didn’t stop; she continued enhancing the True Wisdom Lamp’s quality a notch, while she nostalgically mused, casually handing the item back to him.
“Thank you, predecessor.”
Ivan quickly expressed gratitude.
The True Wisdom Lamp indeed acquired an additional capability, previously having Deceitful Power Protection, sric Dust, Insight Enhancent, now it gained a new feature called Illuminating Wisdom Blaze, perfectly terd as ‘Wisdom True Fla’.
Subsequently, a mysterious force enveloped him, and in a trance, his strength and realm escalated repeatedly.
From throne level ascended to the supre realm, from supre continued to rise rapidly, soon crossing a major threshold into the ancestral realm.
At this mont, Ivan felt exceptionally powerful, unmatched by anyone, holding the Ten Thousand Dragons Banner fluttering vigorously, his gaze fixed on the ongoing entanglent between the Shadow of Annihilation and the Eye of Evil, akin to a seasoned old hunter.
