Beginning Of Multiverse Saga-Chapter 476: Crown Prince Has Died

The Second Prince hadn’t lifted a finger the entire time, but he turned to the Golden Crow Crown Prince and said, "In the end, this is between the two of us. As the situation isn’t going to be decided by the others any time soon, why not settle it personally?"

The Golden Crow Crown Prince frowned. He looked around and saw that the battle situation was indeed tricky. It could last until daybreak before things were decided.

He felt a bit of regret. If he had known it would be like this, he would have brought Magnus and Shera with him.

However, he had been a bit worried about the two of them because their ambitions were too great. Keeping them at his side could cause unpredictable things to happen.

At the time, he’d had the confidence that his men were enough to defeat the Second Prince. But he hadn’t expected the Second Prince to be so prepared! Furthermore, his troops had many powerful individuals!

Seeing that the Crown Prince didn’t reply, the Second Prince sneered. "Hahahah, you’re too cowardly to even accept something like this? The successive generations of Fiend Emperors have all been powerful heroes. When has there ever been a fool like you?"

The Golden Crow Crown Prince could feel his soldiers’ morale drop when the Second Prince spoke those words. With how things were, he couldn’t shrink back even if he wanted to.

When he heard that, he said with a sneer, "Fine. In that case, let’s do it. I am going to let you know once and for all who the number one of this generation is!"

He had been publicly acknowledged to be the head of the younger generation’s five great cultivators. He had absolute confidence in defeating the Second Prince.

However, the Second Prince’s attitude was confident too. He retorted, "Haha, it was only because you were the Crown Prince, so people were just feeding your ego. Did you really think you were the leader of the extreme five?"

"Then I’ll let you properly witness it yourself!" the Golden Crow Crown Prince spat, his expression full of cold killing intent. You’re not that freak Sharky! Do you think this Crown Prince is scared of you?

Golden wings sprouted behind him as soon as he finished speaking. Every single feather was a streak of sword energy that swept straight at the Second Prince.

"Very good!" the Second Prince responded without dodging. A pair of black wings also appeared behind him, and every feather was also a sharp sword. He faced the Golden Crow Crown Prince.

Golden and black sword energy wove together in the sky, erupting into dazzling brilliance.

The evenly matched clash left the Golden Crow Crown Prince extremely shocked. The Second Prince’s cultivation actually wasn’t beneath his in the slightest. Had he been holding back all of these years?

But how is that possible? the Crown Prince thought. His True Sun Eyes could see through anyone whose cultivation ranks were lower than his. His cultivation should be lower than mine!

As if he had seen through the Crown Prince’s confusion, the Second Prince pointed at the jade pendant around his waist, saying, "I had a fortuitous encounter in the past where I obtained this. This thing can hide my aura. Otherwise, do you really think I would be inferior to you?"

The Golden Crow Crown Prince felt a bit uncomfortable. He had a bad premonition.

However, he quickly tossed those thoughts out of the way. He had really lost confidence from losing to that bastard Sharky. However, before he ran into Sharky, he had been undefeated!

"How can anyone who always hides accomplish anything?!" the Golden Crow Crown Prince exclaimed, letting out a cold snort.

His aura suddenly surged, his body turning into a golden streak of light. He rushed at his opponent at a speed the naked eye couldn’t track.

"Golden Crow Radiant Flow is something I know as well!" the Second Prince retorted, turning into a streak of black light. The two sides instantly clashed.

The Second Prince was incredibly shocked by the battle too. He had looked down on this older brother of his as well! He had thought that his older brother just had better conditions, and that was why he had the Crown Prince position. Now, it seemed he really did have some skill.

At the same time, he felt even angrier. This guy is the Crown Prince, so he was blessed with a huge amount of resources.

Previously, he even received the blessing of the Fiend Ancestor in the Imperial Tomb, which increased his cultivation quite a bit.

Meanwhile, I only had myself to rely on ever since I was little. He only had to work seventy or eighty percent, while I had to go a hundred and twenty percent!

Everything else could disappoint, but hard work wouldn’t. Day after day, he had cultivated, accumulating great strength. He had slaughtered his way through a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, tempering his iron-blooded will...

Just like that, he had relied on himself to forcibly reach a point comparable to the Crown Prince, who had had the entire country’s resources and the Fiend Emperor’s personal pointers.

If not for the fact that the Crown Prince had received the acknowledgment of the Fiend Ancestor and increased his cultivation again, the Second Prince would have been able to easily prevail.

Damn it all! Why are the heavens so unfair?! he thought. That unfairness made his fighting spirit surge even more powerfully.

The Golden Crow Crown Prince was more and more shocked the longer they fought. However, his talent was something the Fiend Emperor and other experts had long approved of. He knew there was no way out now, so the two continued to fight.

---

After a long time passed, a powerful light suddenly shone in the distance. It was filled with destructive energies, and it drew the attention of all those present. Just how terrifying was that power? Who was fighting over there?

The Golden Crow Crown Prince’s expression changed, because that was the direction of the Imperial Palace. Something had clearly happened at the Imperial Palace.

Still, what he cared about most was that it was clearly the aura of the Gandiva Bow. The Gandiva Bow had been lost in the Unknown Region, so why had it reappeared here?

Because of his momentary distraction, a streak of black light rushed toward him. With a loud noise, a blast of bloody mist erupted from the middle of his back. Then, the black light quickly flew away, not giving him any chance to retaliate.

The Golden Crow Crown Prince clutched his chest, his expression full of disbelief.

Am I going to... die?

---

I was known as the child blessed by the heavens, someone most of my peers looked up to in admiration! It wasn’t only because of my status, but also because of my cultivation. I had my father personally instruct me, and my talent was extraordinary. That was why my cultivation advanced so quickly.

I can still remember the second brother following behind me, begging me to teach him some things before. Back then, I saw him like an ant.

He would become really, really happy if I just told him even a little bit. How could I have known that I would die to that person?

Just how did he reach this level? Did he sell his soul to the devil?

No, his cultivation isn’t actually that high, and his real strength is lower than mine. But I could feel that for some reason, I couldn’t use all of my strength.

Could it be that my will faltered after being defeated by Sharky again and again?

Meanwhile, the Second Prince’s will remained firm, and he was always filled with resentment over the unfairness of life, so that was why he was able to display a hundred and twenty percent of his strength. Between my weakness and his strength, that was why I was defeated by him.

I can’t accept this!

I was clearly about to become the Fiend Emperor, so why did this happen?

"Crown Prince!" Elder Wu, who was fighting in the distance, felt as if his eye sockets were splitting apart. He immediately flew over.

However, a black ripple suddenly appeared in the sky. A slender, pitch-black sword reached out from within. It was like a sickle from hell. A treacherous arc slashed through the air, and Elder Wu’s head flew off his shoulders.

Elder Wu had been focused on saving the Crown Prince, while the rest of his attention was tied up in remaining on guard against Sixth Uncle’s attacks. How could he have anticipated that there would be another grandmaster rank cultivator here?

The spinning head vaguely made out a handsome, fiendish figure walking out from the black vortex. His mouth opened wide and he exclaimed, "Dark elf!"

Unfortunately, he was unable to utter another word before falling into eternal darkness.

After cultivating to his level, his regeneration ability had become extremely powerful. Even if he was seriously injured, he would be able to slowly recover given some time. He could even regrow a severed arm or leg.

However, that was only if he didn’t suffer a fatal blow. The head was the most important part of the body. There was no coming back after losing one’s head.

The Golden Crow Crown Prince recognized the dark figure. He was the Dark Elf King’s younger brother, Duantian Chou.

He was a famous genius from the Dark Elves. He had never expected the Second Prince to have even gotten someone like that on his side! The loss this time wasn’t entirely unreasonable.

The Second Prince’s side clearly had the advantage in their trump cards, and on top of that, Duantian Chou had remained in hiding all this time. When he interfered, victory and defeat had instantly been decided. How treacherous!

Still, he wasn’t willing to die just like this. He secretly used the Golden Crow Sacred Fire to repair his crushed heart.

The Golden Crow Sacred Fire was the Golden Crow Royal Family’s most powerful self-healing ability; in the past, he had been able to recover even after having the entire lower half of his body blown up by Sharky. Naturally, he was able to regenerate his heart too.

He was worried that the Second Prince would notice something, so he didn’t even dare to use the Golden Crow Sacred Fire too overtly, and he pretended to be dead.

He carefully circulated it around his heart to secretly recover. He knew he had already suffered a crushing defeat today, but as long as he was still alive, there would be chances to make a comeback.

Soon, however, a strong gust of wind swept past. The Second Prince’s voice soon reached his ears.

"Do you know how far I went for the sake of defeating you, just how thorough my research has been in all these years? Every single detail of your life, every single skill you have, I know it all like the back of my hand. I even know clearly how long you can last with women. Did you really think I would make the mistake of overlooking you playing dead?"

He swiftly thrust his hand through the Golden Crow Crown Prince’s body. When it left, it was clutching a heart wrapped in golden flames, which throbbed slowly.

The Second Prince threw the heart into his mouth and swallowed it. A satisfied smile appeared on his face as he said, "Ah, the hearts of the strong are truly delicious. I can feel my body surge with power. I am becoming bigger, and I am becoming stronger!"

The Golden Crow Crown Prince could no longer hold on. He spat out a mouthful of blood and died just like that.

The Second Prince lifted up the Golden Crow Crown Prince’s corpse like that of a dead dog, calling out, "The Crown Prince has already died. Cease your futile struggle. I will spare those who surrender!"
