Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension-Chapter 432 - 297: The Four Lords of the Netherworld_2

Chapter 432: Chapter 297: The Four Lords of the Netherworld_2

“Old Bone, what do you think?”

Thousand Shadows Netherworld God was always keen on stoking the fire, while Unmelting Bone God typically heeded the advice of an old friend:

“Hmm, Netherworld God’s idea is excellent. This being approves.”

Great Black Sky and Bai Tian Sect Leader exchanged glances, then tacitly nodded in agreement, acting as if nothing had happened, not picking up on Netherworld God’s conversation.

“Netherworld God, how are your preparations coming along?”

“Hmph, boring!”

...

After a huff, Thousand Shadows Netherworld God spoke with impatience, “This deity’s incarnations have seized more than two hundred people, and most of the earth veins are under control. Old Bone’s true body has also reassembled and is ready to launch at any time.

What about you?”

“Rest assured, Netherworld God! On our Human Clan’s side, everything has been prepared thoroughly, there will not be any mishaps.”

“Heh, the Human Clan is incredibly sly! This deity has received an intriguing piece of information, that you from the Heavenly Dao Sect have been secretly preparing another plan behind our backs, something called the ‘Transcendental Guidance Project.’ Right or not?”

Hearing this, Bai Tian Sect Leader’s expression remained unchanged as he said, “Such talk is utterly absurd. With the Space-Time Tunnel here, why would my sect refuse the near and seek the far?”

“This deity’s incarnations are legion; what secrets of the Netherworld can possibly be hidden from me? I wouldn’t be spouting nonsense here.

After the first Great War ten thousand years ago, one of Blood God’s Sons hid in Tianzhu Realm and hadn’t returned. In recent centuries, your Heavenly Dao Sect has re-established contact with that Puppet through Heavenly Dao. I’m not wrong, am I?”

As soon as these words were spoken, Great Black Sky couldn’t hold back and immediately interrogated, “Bai Tian, your Heavenly Dao Sect has been hiding such a significant secret. Could it be that you wish to monopolize the benefits?”

“There is absolutely no such thing!” To everyone’s surprise, Bai Tian Sect Leader flatly denied it, no matter how provocatively Great Black Sky questioned him, he always emphatically denied it.

Finally, when Thousand Shadows Netherworld God had seen enough of the excitement, he scoffed at the young man with Blood Eyes, “Great Black Sky, you are the revered leader of a great sect; you’re really behaving rather petty. Simply offer up ten million Human Souls to the Heavenly Dao and communicate with it, wouldn’t you know everything then?”

“Hmm, what Netherworld God says is very true.” The Bone Pearl buzzed in agreement.

Upon hearing this, a cold light flashed in Great Black Sky’s eyes, and he fell silent.

Offering ten million Human Souls was easy, but communicating with the Heavenly Dao even once would significantly increase the extent of integration.

If one’s Divine Soul were too deeply eroded by the Heavenly Dao, one would inevitably become a Heavenly Dao Puppet, turning into a Blood God’s Son of utter misery.

Seeing this, Bai Tian smiled and returned to the matter at hand, “Since Netherworld God and Bone God are both ready, let’s set the total offensive seven days from now. Let those fools in Tianzhu Realm be happy for two more months; it’s time for their dream to end!”

“Good, let’s do it in seven days. My Black Nest has already grown hungry and impatient.” Great Black Sky suddenly echoed with a murderous aura.

…

On the side of Tianzhu Realm, they were completely unaware of the looming crisis.

At the very moment when the four Otherworldly Gods had agreed upon the date of the total attack, a group of high-level Cultivators in Flying Immortal City was also preparing for a counter-offensive.

A hundred miles beneath the Heavenly Burial Plain, in a spacious and open stone cave filled with stalactites, a Mountain Dragon covered in golden light, with an enormously large body, was restlessly rolling around the cave, its powerful Divine Thoughts vibrating incessantly, echoing back and forth within the cavern.

“Master, master! I… I sense danger approaching! Let’s escape quickly!”

Zhao Xuanjing stood up, his towering stature of three zhang made him appear as a Little Budian in front of the Mountain Dragon.

“Xiao Qi, be quiet! Tell me, from which direction is the danger coming?” Zhao Xuanjing asked with a grave expression.

Although the Mountain Dragon’s spiritual wisdom wasn’t high, it naturally had an extraordinary spiritual sense and was especially sensitive to Danger Perception. He couldn’t afford not to be cautious.

“It’s coming from the Abyss. It’s very dangerous, we will die!”

After hearing this, Zhao Xuanjing felt slightly relieved. The Abyss was fraught with danger, and it would be normal for the Mountain Dragon to sense it.

Yet somehow, he suddenly felt his heart leap.

After some thought, he took out a treasure mirror and infused it with a Divine Thought.

Quickly, the surface of the treasure mirror flickered with more than three hundred spots of starlight, each representing one of the Ksitigarbha Sect disciples monitoring the earth veins.

“Normal!”

“Normal!”

“Normal!”

“No anomalies!”

After reviewing the information sent back by everyone, Zhao Xuanjing’s heart relaxed.

But soon, his brows furrowed again, and after giving a certain instruction to Xiao Qi, his body glowed with yellow light and he suddenly vanished from the Earth Cave.

Moments later, Zhao Xuanjing arrived at the section of the Great Wall where the Zhao Family was stationed and met with Zhao Sheng.

Zhao Sheng was very surprised by his arrival, considering Zhao Xuanjing’s significant responsibilities; he should have been too busy to leave unannounced and come over in such a hurry.

Once the two were seated, Zhao Sheng immediately asked, “Ancestor, do you have any instructions for me?”

Zhao Xuanjing said solemnly, “Qingyang, have you heard about your master’s matter?”

“My master has already informed me. However, I feel something about this matter isn’t right.”

“Oh, what’s not right?” Zhao Xuanjing’s heart stirred, and he immediately pressed for more details.

Zhao Sheng said, “Ancestor, you know I possess a secret technique that is especially good at observing one’s Qi Fortune. But according to my observations, everyone’s Qi Fortune has significantly decreased since before the battle started, which is an ominous sign. Therefore, I am not optimistic about our realm’s counterattack plan.”

As for the Qi Observing Skill, although Zhao Sheng had not taught it to a second person, he did not intentionally conceal it from Zhao Xuanjing and Dong Miaozhen.

“Really! Has the Qi Fortune dropped so drastically?”

“Absolutely certain!”

Hearing Zhao Sheng’s firm response, Zhao Xuanjing’s brows knitted tightly into a mountain shape.

He quickly made a decision.

The counterattack against the Netherworld Ghost Realm was a trend of the times, and even he could not change the will of the alliance.

However, to prepare a few more escape routes in advance for the younger generations of his family was still within Zhao Xuanjing’s power.

“Qingyang, listen closely…” With a determined mind, Zhao Xuanjing immediately sent his Divine Thought to Zhao Sheng.

… Half an hour later, Zhao Xuanjing tunneled away from the ground.

Zhao Sheng immediately summoned the members of the Cultivation Clan, distributing Thousand-mile Earth Tunneling Talismans to everyone, while also making numerous arrangements. As for the Innate Martial Artists, additional arrangements were made for them.

After the meeting, the members of the Zhao family busily got to work.

Meanwhile, Zhao Sheng declined all invitations and immersed himself in the Cultivation Room, beginning to craft various talismans day and night.

Three days later, the Abyss Battlefield was filled with cries of battle, but the size of the invading zombies and ghostly creatures had been reduced by a third compared to ten days earlier, leaving several gaps in the defense line, making it appear sparse and scattered.

At this time, the influx of Spiritual Energy from the Netherworld Ghost Realm had slowed to a trickle. The environment of Spiritual Energy on the Heavenly Burial Plain had become extremely harsh, skewing entirely towards that of the Otherworld.

In such an environment, the cultivators of this realm had to rely on the power of Spirit Stones and Elixir Pills to restore their depleted True Yuan Spiritual Power.

And on this day, Flying Immortal City, which had not moved since the start of the war, suddenly began to descend slowly.

During its descent, the massive silvery base of Flying Immortal City suddenly revealed thousands of brilliantly complex Array Maps, filled with countless shimmering seven-colored lights.

When Flying Immortal City descended to a height of a thousand yards, level with the Time-Space Rift,

a huge light shield abruptly cascaded down from the base’s Array Maps.

An indescribable Power enveloped the entire Abyss Battlefield.

Suddenly,

bangs and explosions echoed throughout the Abyss!

All the zombie ghosts clawing at the sky exploded and died at the same time, falling like stones into the Abyss, including the Thousand-year Ghost King, comparable to a Nascent Soul.

The exclusive Anti-Air Demon Annihilation Great Array of Flying Immortal City was activated, instantly clearing all the monsters from the Abyss Battlefield.

While cheers shook the heavens above the Golden Wall and myriad spells lit up the sky,

the light shield above Flying Immortal City suddenly cracked open, followed by streams of tunneling lights in various colors flying out of the fissure, following the Sea Suppression Cloud Boat without hesitation into the Time-Space Rift.

However, a day passed!

The counterattack forces had gone and not returned, and no message was transmitted back.

Moreover, since a day earlier, no zombie ghosts had appeared from the Time-Space Rift.

It hung quietly in the sky, emitting a faint blood light, becoming ever more eerie and deathly still!
