At this moment, when Zhang Tianshi saw the lid in the Heaven-Devouring Demon Emperor's hand, his eyes widened in an instant. He even rubbed his eyes in disbelief. With a dumbfounded expression, he looked at Zhang Tianshi with a trace of bewilderment.
He couldn't help it. The Devouring Heaven Emperor's indifferent look was too strange. He couldn't even make up his mind.
To him, the things in front of him were not important, including Luo Xiu on the ground and the world's origin in his body. These were all secondary.
If he could obtain the lid in the hands of the Devouring Heaven Emperor, it would be a huge gain for him, no, for the entire Cheng Huang Clan.
"What kind of price do I have to pay for you to give me the lid in your hand? Think carefully before you speak. In short, I must get this thing. If you don't give it to me, I will get it no matter what. When the time comes, don't blame me for falling out with you."
Zhang Tianshi could no longer care about Luo Xiu, who was lying on the ground. At this moment, the way he looked at the Heaven-Devouring Devil Emperor had changed. If it weren't for the fact that the current situation wasn't suitable and that the two sides were still cooperating, he would still have to worry about it.
The Devouring Heaven Emperor couldn't help but laugh when he saw Zhang Tianshi's attitude. This person really didn't understand his own situation. Although he couldn't be too presumptuous because of the previous agreement, it didn't mean that he had to agree with Zhang Tianshi's words.
Especially under the current circumstances, these things weren't important to him. The most important thing was the World Origin in Luo Xiu's body. Although Luo Xiu's life and death were in his hands, he still had to consider Zhang Tianshi's thoughts.
At the same time, Zhang Tianshi had actually disagreed with him because of the lid in his hands. This made Zhang Tianshi lose his place in the eyes of the Devouring Heaven Emperor. This person had cooperated with him this time, but he couldn't have anything to do with him in the future. Not only was he short-sighted, but he also didn't have any opinions of his own.
The Sky-Devouring Devil Emperor looked at Zhang Tianshi, who was a little excited, and the corners of his mouth curled into an inexplicable arc. Of course, he knew what this thing meant to the people of Emperor Cheng's family. Especially when he accidentally discovered that Zhang Tianshi and the others had already started a huge plan, the value of the lid in his hand was immeasurable.
"Haha, it depends on what price you have to pay. Let me put it this way, this thing is useless to the Old Man. However, if you ask the Old Man to give it to you for free, the Old Man won't agree. After all, this thing was obtained by the Old Man with great difficulty. He won't give it to you just because of our relationship. The most important thing is that you have to understand one thing clearly. Although this thing is useless to me, it is a rare treasure to the Chenghuang Clan, and it is something that you urgently need. I don't think I need to say more about the price you have to pay. You should show your sincerity."
The Devouring Heaven Emperor looked at Zhang Tianshi with a sneer, completely ignoring the latter's uncertain eyes. The strange smile on his face was particularly annoying at this moment. However, the Devouring Heaven Emperor did not care at all. After all, for the Devouring Heaven Emperor who had no intention of continuing to cooperate with him, this expression was normal.
As the Devouring Heaven Emperor's words fell, Zhang Tianshi's eyes stared blankly. There was no other way. Under the current circumstances, he had no good way at all. The Devouring Heaven Emperor had already shown his terrifying strength before. In addition, this old man had the incredible ability to turn into a Primordial Treasure. He was simply a powerful individual. It could be said that if the Devouring Heaven Emperor did not take the initiative to attack, the Chenghuang Clan would not be able to fall out with the Devouring Heaven Emperor for a long time.
In the face of such a situation, Zhang Tianshi also fell into hesitation. The Sky-Devouring Devil Emperor was not a cat or a dog. With such a powerful cultivation, he certainly would not be interested in ordinary things. He could not take out anything too precious now. The only thing he could take out now was the Origin of the World, which had not yet been obtained.
Apart from this, he could not think of anything else he could take out to trade.
However, Zhang Tianshi was not willing to give up. After all, it was not easy to obtain such a piece of Origin of the World.
Moreover, the most important thing was that his cultivation couldn't be delayed any longer. If he couldn't refine the World's Origin to enter the next realm during this period of time, he wouldn't have any good opportunities to obtain the World's Origin for the next thousand years.
Even if the Origin of the World was incomplete, as long as he could refine it, his cultivation would reach the sky in a single bound. If he could not refine the Origin of the World, he could only continue to waste time.
Therefore, Zhang Tianshi's mouth twitched as he watched the Devouring Heaven Emperor toss the inconspicuous tattered lid up and down. At the same time, he looked constipated.
He had no choice. Under the current circumstances, he could not fight with this person. After all, he knew that he did not have any advantage at all in a two-on-one situation.
However, he was not willing to give up. After all, compared to his own future, the lid in the Devouring Heaven Emperor's hands was definitely the most urgent thing for their entire clan. Moreover, with this thing, the Origin of the World would not be a problem.
For a moment, he was a little hesitant about whether he should follow his heart. After all, the lid in the Devouring Heaven Emperor's hands was a fatal temptation to him. Moreover, it was not an exaggeration to say that even if the entire Chenghuang Clan paid a huge price, they would still need to obtain the Inheritance of the World.
"Old Man said at any price!
Of course, it means at any price. Even if you ask for an exorbitant price, we will seriously consider your opinion. We have been searching for this thing for tens of millions of years. If we had known that this thing was on you, we would have rescued you long ago. We would not have let you suffer for tens of millions of years in vain. "
After figuring out the crux of the matter, Zhang Tianshi gritted his teeth and spoke very seriously. He even saw the Devouring Heaven Emperor's reaction at this moment.
Although he knew that the Devouring Heaven Emperor was stubborn, Zhang Tianshi still hoped to move this person. After all, compared to other things, this old man in front of him was a ruthless character. In order to achieve his goals, he was simply unscrupulous.
Now that he had chosen this lid, he had to make a decision as soon as possible. It was not that he had not thought of going head-to-head with this person, but after thinking about it again and again, he gave up on this idea. After all, there were too many uncertainties. Now that he had information that could be used against him, if he did not want to be controlled by others, he could only choose to discuss with this person.
"Well, let's not talk about anything else first. Give me eight or ten of your Devouring Heaven Emperor's Copper Coins."
Hearing the sincerity in Zhang Tianshi's words, the Devouring Heaven Emperor couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and smile.
However, as soon as the Devouring Heaven Emperor finished speaking, not only did Zhang Tianshi's face twitch, but even Xiao Yu, who had been standing next to him, couldn't help but smile. He was having a hard time holding back because the Devouring Heaven Emperor's words were too unrealistic.
One had to know that the Copper Coins of Life were the greatest reliance of the entire Cheng Huang Clan. Each clan member could only produce two or three in their lifetime, and it was not even enough for their own use. They were extremely precious treasures, so how could they take out eight or ten of them in exchange for such an unreliable lid?
"Sigh, Fellow Daoist, you are being a little unreasonable. Although the thing in your hand is very valuable, it is not valuable enough to be exchanged for eight or ten Copper Coins of Life.
You are being so greedy. Are you saying that you don't want to continue negotiating with me? "
Zhang Tianshi looked at Luo Xiu and then turned to look at the Devouring Heaven Emperor. The corners of his mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but shake his head with a bitter smile.
"What price can you pay? Other than the Copper Coins of Life, the Old Man doesn't need anything else, be it cultivation resources or anything else. You should know that with the power of my Demonic Heaven-Devouring Skill, the Old Man won't care about any Cultivation Method. In addition, my foundation is not much worse than yours. Therefore, other than the Copper Coins of Life, the Old Man will barely be interested. Oh, you can give me anything else, but you must satisfy the Old Man."
Seeing the expression on Zhang Tianshi's face, the Devouring Heaven Emperor knew that Zhang Tianshi was obviously a little frightened.
Therefore, when he said these words, he still had a calm expression on his face. He didn't have the slightest intention of forcing Zhang Tianshi. And most importantly, the Devouring Heaven Emperor knew that even if he didn't say anything, Zhang Tianshi would definitely not let the matter rest.
Faced with this situation, Zhang Tianshi didn't know how to solve it. For him, the Emperor Cheng Clan had always been used to smooth sailing. It was only at this moment that he deeply understood what it was like to be controlled by others.
"I'll state my conditions first. If you agree, then we'll make a deal. Let me put it this way, I'll give you the World Origin that I can get this time. Moreover, the Old Man can swear to the Heavenly Dao that I'll lend you the repaired Divine Artifact for three months. I don't need to say more about the power of this thing. You have the ability to use it to refine the World Origin of several worlds for your own use. At that time, the alternate space in your body will completely grow.
At that time, it won't be a problem for you to kill your way back to the Divine Realm. "
Zhang Tianshi couldn't help but reveal a bright smile when he saw that the Devouring Heaven Emperor was stubborn. He gritted his teeth and said very seriously.
Even Xiao Yu was shocked by this old man's idea. He was obviously asking the Devouring Heaven Emperor to court death. Moreover, all three of them knew how painful the price to pay to destroy a world was. It wasn't an exaggeration to say that it could directly ruin a person's future, and it was a future that had no chance of being saved.
If the price to destroy a world was just a little bit of heavenly tribulation, the world would probably have been destroyed already.
Such a situation would definitely not happen. Compared to this, the price that Luo Xiu had paid previously was simply an ant's sting. It was so small that it was negligible.
This situation made Xiao Yu involuntarily look at Zhang Tianshi with a strange expression.
"Oath to the Heavenly Dao?
Are you people of the Chenhuang Clan really affected by the Heavenly Dao?
This damned oath to the Heavenly Dao can restrain lawless existences like you.
Hehe, I want to laugh out loud when you say that, you know?
You're completely treating me like a fool. "
He didn't expect Zhang Tianshi to say such a thing. This made the Devouring Heaven Emperor laugh out loud. This old man obviously treated him like a fool. Therefore, the Devouring Heaven Emperor didn't say anything and directly put away the lid, then turned around and stood beside Xiao Yu.
"Then what do you think we should do? I can't personally help you refine the World Origin, right? The impact on me will be tens of thousands of times greater than yours. The punishment I will receive will be even more unbearable. Even with this heaven-defying divine artifact and divine skill in hand, I won't be able to resist that kind of heavenly tribulation."
Zhang Tianshi also knew that his explanation was somewhat unreliable, so he changed the topic to see if he could find a suitable solution. Otherwise, if they continued to waste time like this, it wouldn't be good for anyone. "That's your problem.
"Then that's your own problem. It has nothing to do with me. The World Origin of two complete worlds, big or small, as long as it's complete, plus the harvest this time, you can't get your hands on it. Fine, you can leave now. As long as you get the things I need, I'll give you the lid directly. As for the other things, you don't need to talk nonsense with me here. What do you think? Hurry up and leave if you agree.
You have nothing else to do. "For some unknown reason, the Devouring Heaven Emperor rudely interrupted Zhang Tianshi, who wanted to continue explaining, and then said very seriously and decisively.
"Can you give me the lid first? With the help of this thing, I can quickly complete the transaction with you. The Old Man never goes back on his word. You know where our family is, so there's no need for me to deceive you at this time."
Zhang Tianshi was still a little unwilling to give up and wanted to ask, but when he saw the Devouring Heaven Emperor's expression at this moment, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly. This old man was stubborn.
Although he really wanted to obtain this inconspicuous lid, he knew that the Devouring Heaven Emperor obviously wouldn't agree to it. This could be said to be an unreasonable idea.
