Chapter 684: The theory of the Halls of h.e.l.l, Lu Ming’s so-called opportunity
The scene of Gu Changge getting up and leaving the seat was noticed by almost everyone in the arena.
Many people had come here tonight because they heard the news of Gu Changge’s appearance. Now that he had no interest in staying any longer, everyone naturally didn’t want to stay any longer.
Judging from Gu Changge’s att.i.tude tonight, many people guessed that he should have come here to pick some experienced death row prisoners or servants. After all, with Gu Changge’s current status, he probably didn’t like ordinary followers or geniuses.
The entourage he wanted to choose was at least in the Sacred Realm, or the existence of the Quasi-Supreme Realm or above it. Even in the Battlefield of Hundred Realms, quasi-supreme cultivators were rare and extremely hard to find.
Of course, this was everyone’s opinion. As for the truth of the matter, no one knew.
Once Gu Changge left, the host in charge of the arena moved his eyes slightly as he quietly pa.s.sed down an order so that the death row prisoners behind him would not have to come on stage.
“The lord has left?”
The group of people from the Qinghong Ancient World was also very surprised. They and Gu Changge were not from the same world, so they didn’t dare to have other fantasies in their hearts.
It was just that they couldn’t help but look at Xue Yan with envious eyes. Soon, the news about this place was pa.s.sed back by the people of various forces in the dark.
Many geniuses who felt that they were powerful also began to gear up and were eager to partic.i.p.ate in this gladiator match, so they could attract Gu Changge’s attention and become his followers.
An undercurrent that Gu Changge intentionally created swept across the entire Battlefield of Hundred Realms in an instant. Except for Vermillion Bird Region, the other regions, Green Dragon Region, and White Tiger Region were also the first to get word of it.
“Could it be that this person surnamed Gu just came here to pick followers? Is it because I was too cautious? Or did he do it just to deceive others? With ulterior motives?”
In the depths of the Battlefield of Hundred Realms, in an extremely gloomy palace.
Several terrifying figures shrouded in the monstrous fog stood upright, their eyes were disillusioned, and there was a terrifying scene evolution. The moon sank and the stars were destroyed, and the world collapsed.
Their cultivation bases were extremely terrifying as the vast and boundless fluctuations were like being in an abyss, which was endless and boundless.
At their feet, there was a vast pile of bones, including the skulls of Saints from ancient times, as well as the corpses of Supreme beings and hand bones of Enlightened beings in recent times.
Each piece was crystal clear and hard, like divine iron, filled with undissipated divinity. For the a.s.sa.s.sins who walked in the dark, every bone here once represented a brilliant achievement.
The owner of each bone had a prominent status and origin, otherwise, it would not be eligible to be listed in this hall as a collection. There were ten halls in h.e.l.l, and each hall was located in a mysterious s.p.a.ce.
Even the respective Hall Masters could not find each other’s s.p.a.ce coordinates. This was also the reason why h.e.l.l had been able to evade the siege and extermination of all forces since ancient times.
But like today, the masters of the Ten Palaces gathered a total of six people, which was also one of the few moments in the history of h.e.l.l since its existence in the Upper Realm.
Moreover, every time, it was because of a major event that was related to the life and death of h.e.l.l.
“Don’t worry about this matter. We don’t know what Gu Changge’s intention is now, so it’s better not to act rashly.”
“The power behind Gu Changge is really terrifying. If we confront it head-on, the only outcome would be getting smashed to pieces.”
A terrifying figure wrapped in black fog opened his mouth, with an endless murderous aura permeating his body. His eyes were deep, but he looked extremely cautious.
h.e.l.l had existed so far and had made countless enemies. If the location of their headquarters was suddenly revealed, it would inevitably be attacked and suppressed by various forces. This was not the situation they wanted to see.
“If he’s only here to pick followers, that’s okay, But I’m afraid he has other plans. The Spring Breeze Pavilion having no connection with him? I won’t believe it.”
Another Hall Master opened his mouth, his figure was also shrouded in thick fog, and one couldn’t see his true face clearly. There were vast fluctuations as a murderous will intertwined beside him.
Each of the Ten Great Hall Masters of h.e.l.l were from a monstrous generation who slaughtered the Heavens and countless cultivators and creatures had died in their hands.
Everyone who had come to this step would naturally not be simple. Their minds were extremely cautious, and they would not take risks easily. If it was someone else, they would naturally have the means to make him disappear into the Battlefield of Hundred Realms without a sound.
But it happened that this person was Gu Changge, and his strength was so strong that in the current Upper Realm, there might not be many people who could compete with him. Even in the case of severe injuries, he could still resist several black-clothed Enlightened beings in the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty.
They didn’t dare to think of that at all.
“It’s a pity, the master of the first hall has not yet reached that level of cultivation. Otherwise we ten people would work together to set up the Immortal Destruction Formation, and that would surely be able to fight Gu Changge.”
“If I can kill Gu Changge, my reputation in h.e.l.l can definitely return to its peak, so why should I be so afraid of him.”
At this time, a Hall Master who had never spoken shook his head with some regret. His eyes were cold, and there was a terrifying murderous aura permeating the air.
The Great Immortal Destruction Formation was the untold secret of h.e.l.l, which had been pa.s.sed down since ancient times. However, once unleashed it must be maintained by the joint efforts of the ten Hall Masters. Its power was unimaginable, and it could even kill Immortals.
Thirty million years ago, the former master of the first hall was ambushed, and he was suspected of being seriously injured and died, but he disappeared afterward.
The current master of the first hall was still much worse than the previous master of the first hall, and it was difficult to support the operation of the Great Immortal Destruction Formation.
Of course, until the end, they didn’t want to have a conflict with Gu Changge.
…
And just when the Hall Masters of h.e.l.l were discussing how to solve this trouble. To the east of the Vermillion Bird Region, there were pavilions and palaces.
The group from the Qinghong Ancient World returned from the arena. After explaining to the several elders behind them, they also returned to their respective courtyards, intending to rest.
Lu Ming returned to his room as he carefully looked around. He confirmed that no one was there and the doors and windows were closed. At the same time, there were restrictions placed to prevent prying eyes of others.
“You promised me that after I come to the Upper Realm, you will give me a great opportunity.” Lu Ming’s face became very calm as if he was muttering to himself, but it was more like talking to another person.
“I didn’t expect that there would be such a day for me to return to the Upper Realm. I really didn’t expect it.” And the moment Lu Ming finished speaking, a cloud of misty brilliance suddenly lit up under his sleeve.
Immediately afterward, a piece of gravel shaped like crystal and amber emerged, with a brilliant divine light, extremely eye-catching and gorgeous. Unpredictable fluctuations were permeating the broken stone as the void reflected here was crystal clear and mysterious.
At the same time, a middle-aged man’s voice emerged from it. It seemed very plain, but also seemed to be very vicissitudes, having experienced the harsh world.
Seeing this scene, Lu Ming had already realized the strangeness as he said calmly, “Senior promised me at the beginning that if I could come to the Upper Realm, he would give me a great opportunity. Have you forgotten?”
This piece of gravel was found by him when he was young. At that time, it suddenly flashed across the night sky one day like a meteor and then smashed into the backyard.
In the beginning, this mysterious gravel absorbed the aura of his cultivation, and then fed back more pure and profound spiritual energy to him. Because of this, Lu Ming, who was born in a small place, had laid a very solid foundation of cultivation since he was a child.
Even in the face of those big disciples, such as Xue Yan, he still had the power to fight. To put it bluntly, his achievements today were inseparable from this mysterious gravel.
Later, by accident, he discovered that there was actually a s.p.a.ce inside this mysterious gravel. In this mysterious s.p.a.ce, time flowed very slowly. Normally, it would take him several months or even a year to study the secrets of the techniques thoroughly.
After he thoroughly researched this mysterious s.p.a.ce, it had only been less than half a month in the outside world. Because of this, Lu Ming’s cultivation was advancing at a G.o.dly pace, and he rose to fame and became a well-known genius in his world.
So much so that later he joined the sect where Xue Yan belonged and received the qualification to enter the Upper Realm to partic.i.p.ate in the Battlefield of Hundred Realms.
Of course, it was not long ago that he entered the sect where Xue Yan was, and only then did he know that there was still a remnant soul hidden in the gravel s.p.a.ce.
At that time, the remnant soul tried to take over his body, but because his body was too weak to accommodate the remnant soul, he had to give up taking over. Although Lu Ming survived by luck, he was extremely wary of that remnant soul afterward.
The other party had spoken many words and promised many conditions, still he did not agree. Only the matter of bringing it to the Upper Realm was more reliable in Lu Ming’s opinion.
“Hehe, little guy, when I was in the Upper Realm, your ancestors hadn’t even been born yet? How dare you question my words?”
The middle-aged man in the mysterious gravel felt the long-lost Laws of Heaven and Earth here, and couldn’t help laughing. His appearance was very faint, and it was difficult to maintain his original appearance. However, he could still see the stalwarts of the past, with a tall figure, deep eyes, and breathtaking majesty.
Even if it was a wisp of the remnant soul, it still had an invincible aura that looked down on everyone. At the peak of his cultivation, not to mention swallowing everything, sweeping the Heavens, he was invincible in the Upper Realm.
“The junior dare not question the senior’s words, but only hopes that the senior can keep his promise, and give the junior the opportunity promised to the junior.” Lu Ming still maintained neither a humble nor an overbearing att.i.tude.
He knew that the other party had the means to easily end his life. But at that time, the other party swore on their Dao heart, which was related to the life of the soul in the future, so Lu Ming was not worried that the other party would break his promise.
“Don’t worry, I was an equal figure among all powerhouses back then. Even if I was attacked and killed by my enemies later and experienced the greatest crisis in my life, I still survived. Would you miss this opportunity?”
The voice of the middle-aged man was still very flat, full of heroic spirit, and he felt extremely disdainful of Lu Ming.
Lu Ming just didn’t say a word about it and stood there silently. He understood that in the current Upper Realm, the middle-aged man in front of him might be the only opportunity he could grasp.
After experiencing tonight’s arena, he even felt that his Junior Sister Xue Yan, who was very close to him before, was also becoming a stranger, and would eventually leave him. Therefore, he must become stronger in order to grasp everything that belonged to him.
“The piece of broken stone in your hand was found by me from a barren star field back then. It contained the divine pattern of time and s.p.a.ce. Later, I unleashed it and refined it to make a divine weapon. It originally had seven layers, but when I encountered that life-and-death battle, it was smashed to pieces, leaving only the latter piece. Since you got it by chance, I will tell you the method of mobilizing this piece of gravel today.” The middle-aged man looked at the piece of gravel still floating in the void and suddenly uttered to Lu Ming.
While speaking, he reached out a little, and a bright golden light fell into the center of Lu Ming’s eyebrows. An extremely obscure and ancient scripture spread out in Lu Ming’s heart. Every word appeared brilliant and eye-catching, with a power that could not be seen directly. His eyes widened in shock, it was the first time he had come into contact with such profound scripture.
When he was in the Qinghong Ancient World, the most profound scriptures he came into contact with were just some general lectures, not too deep.
“If I had obtained this scripture earlier, would all this be different?” Seeing all this, Lu Ming was extremely shocked, followed by a burst of joy and ecstasy.
“Don’t be too happy, what I want to give you is not just that. Remember what I told you before, after coming to the Upper Realm, go to an organization called h.e.l.l and find the contact person in it, then I will give you a greater opportunity. What’s the point of the Battlefield of Hundred Realms in this area?”
The middle-aged man looked at Lu Ming’s shocked expression and seemed to be quite proud and then talked about another matter.
Thirty million years ago, he had an ident.i.ty that everyone feared, even the leaders of Great sects feared him.
At that time, he traversed the Upper Realm, killing countless geniuses, Ancient Sages, and even Supremes, and Quasi-Emperors, wherever he pa.s.sed, everyone trembled.
