Chapter 75 - The Plans Of The Outer Realm, The Surviving Underground Race
In the outer realm, in an unknown land far away from the Mortal World.
"We just sensed that the four divine martial demonic servants have all died."
"What? All died? That small world?"
"What"s the exact situation?"
"I don"t know. According to our investigations, they died due to a meteor."
"Don"t joke around. They all have special abilities. How could they die at the hands of such an inanimate object?"
"There are two possibilities. One is that something is wrong with the meteor. The other is that someone attacked."
"If it"s the first possibility, then they must have encountered a powerful special star."
"However, they are so close to the world with the G.o.d of Earth"s banner. The likelihood of such a star appearing is very small."
"Therefore, it"s more likely that it"s the second scenario."
"If that"s the case, then it"s only possible that an Emperor has appeared."
Once that was said, the being stopped speaking.
It was silent for a moment.
"Sigh."
An old sigh was heard.
"Everyone here is so close to the Emperor Realm, but none of us are Emperors."
"It"s very difficult to obtain the recognition of the Heavenly Dao."
"It doesn"t matter. As long as our plan succeeds, we can become Emperors."
Another seductive female voice answered.
"Even now, I still find it incredible. There really is an inheritance above the Emperor Realm, and it can help us all break through to the Emperor Realm."
"Let"s cut the small talk. Now that an Emperor has appeared in that world, what other way do you have to retrieve the G.o.d of Earth"s banner?"
"We can only send a few more people. The stronger the Emperor, the closer we are to the Great Emperor realm. There"s nothing to be afraid of with so many people."
After a short exchange.
"Let"s send ten people. Ten peak quasi-emperors will set up a heaven-defying formation that"s enough to fight against an Emperor!"
In the Asura Ghost Region of the Heavenly Mortal Realm.
"The Ghost Lord has an order! The nine ghosts of the universe are being killed one after another. We must stop the other four ghosts from being killed."
"The two Ghost Lords of heaven and earth have already set off."
"The Reincarnation Ghost Lord has sent news that the Hidden Edge Emperor has noticed something unusual in Qilian Mountain."
In a large hall, information was being circulated.
Recently, the ghost realm had been having a hard time.
First, their arch-enemy, the Hidden Edge Sect, had sent out an Emperor who had cut off the connection array and destroyed the hopes of the surviving underground race.
Now, there was a problem with the nine ghosts.
"Who is it that can kill so many ghosts in a row?"
"Even with my cultivation at the Entry Saint Realm, it"s easy to defeat the ghosts but difficult to kill the nine ghosts."
"Could it be the Hidden Edge Emperor himself?"
"That"s impossible. Our people have been observing the Hidden Edge Sect."
"If the Emperor really wants to hide, we definitely won"t be able to find him."
"But the situation now is certain. The Hidden Edge Emperor has been staying at the Hidden Edge Sect because they"ve been using up a lot of precious materials."
After a moment of silence.
"Heavenly Ghost Lord and Earth Ghost Lord have set off. As long as the Emperor doesn"t make a move, the person who killed the ghosts of the universe won"t be able to escape."
The voice gradually became softer.
And in the core of the ghost region.
There was a strange spring.
A middle-aged man with atrophied muscles was cultivating in it.
The Nether Lord.
The strongest being in the Asura Ghost Region.
As if he sensed something, he slowly opened his eyes.
"Is this... a summoning? Someone is calling me?"
Underground, in the abyss that was tens of thousands of meters deep...
An altar had been built, and the dark green pillar of light shot up to the earth above.
"How many years has it been? I wonder if I can communicate with the outside again?"
A hazy voice gently echoed in the abyss.
Around the altar.
Over 100,000 people were kneeling on the ground.
They were using their power of faith to communicate with the altar.
Everyone"s aura appeared thick and mysterious.
Different from the cultivators on the ground, they seemed to be absorbing spiritual energy instead of cultivating.
The leader was an old man with a withered yellow face and spa.r.s.e hair.
It was hard to imagine that this was the appearance of a top-tier expert.
"I can sense it. The communication is successful."
"Who is the one who is calling this lord?"
The Nether Lord"s voice could be heard faintly.
"It is us, the Qi Huang clan."
When this sentence was heard, the other party seemed to be shocked and went silent.
After waiting for a long time.
"A junior of the Qi Huang clan, nether spirit."
"Us, the Qi Huang clan, Netherworld."
"We have finally made contact! We have established the Asura Ghost Region and have been seeking to break the sealing formation for thousands of years."
The Nether Lord slowly took a deep breath.
"We"ve already lifted a corner of the formation. A part of the formation has been destroyed."
"Now, one of the four foundations has been broken a thousand years ago."
"Do you guys have a way to break the other three foundations?"
After saying that, the Netherworld transmitted the results of their research on formations over the years to the altar.
This was clearly beyond the altar"s endurance limit.
Soon, the light pillar was extinguished.
"Now, we can only wait."
The Nether Lord sighed.
He was already very old.
He had been sealed in this underground cage for so many years.
Although he had succeeded in his cultivation, it was difficult for him to extend his lifespan due to the lack of sufficient spiritual energy.
And the Nether Lord in the Asura Ghost Region was indeed overjoyed.
Because according to the news he had just received...
The foundation of the array that the underground Qi Huang clan had destroyed was the Hidden Edge Sect!
It had actually been destroyed hundreds of years ago.
There was no need to attack the Hidden Edge Sect.
Severing the array was once again possible.
The Qi Huang clan was about to reappear in the world!
...
Hidden Edge sect, Reclining Firewood Peak.
Ye Changge frowned slightly.
He had just sensed something.
It seemed like something interesting was about to happen.
"Emperor! We found something strange!"
At this moment, the rift worm sent a voice transmission.
"Come in."
Soon, the two quasi-emperors appeared in front of Ye Changge.
"Reporting to the Emperor, we found something strange about the Qilian Mountain."
The rift worm returned to its old appearance. With a wave of its hand, a model of Qilian Mountain appeared in the air.
"From this location, we"ve discovered the energy of a powerful array formation and the smell of blood."
"According to our calculations, there"s a powerful array formation here. Its range is so vast that it probably covers the entire eastern region."
"This matter is of great importance. We don"t dare to delay."
Ye Changge smiled.
The strange feeling should be about this.
"I understand. I"ll go personally and experience the specifics of this array."
Hearing this, the rift worm hesitated.
"Your majesty, this array covers a vast area. I"ve never heard of it before. I"m afraid its power is also extremely strong. Your majesty, please be careful."
Hearing this, Ye Changge was slightly startled.
He smiled and pointed at the array base beside him.
"Do you know how vast the area of my array will be once it"s formed?"
After carefully examining it for a moment, the rift worm"s pupils contracted.
"Is it more than half of the Heavenly Mortal World?"
Ye Changge shook his head.
"It"s the entire Heavenly Mortal World."
