World Version Updates-Chapter 433 - 286: The Mantis Stalks the Cicada, the Underworld Legion Arrives!_3

But this aroused great dissatisfaction among the hardliners within the Heretic Court.

The Heretic Court gathers the most fanatical and extreme individuals of the Steam Sect, those who reject heretical beliefs to the utmost degree.

They cannot tolerate any beliefs other than that of the Steam God spreading within the kingdom, especially after Anna manifested publicly in the name of the Holy Spirit and quickly gathered followers, making them feel like they were on pins and needles.

Ultimately, after some internal maneuvering, the Heretic Court decided to take a risky step and probe into the depths of Lu Yan and the so-called Underworld.

Thus, they secretly employed some covert methods to cleverly leak information about the Holy Spirit Anna to the Council of the Dead, attempting to use this dirty blade to touch Lu Yan's whiskers.

"Hmph, the Council of the Dead may just be a bunch of sneaky little characters, but the slumbering chairman of the dead and the Undying King behind them are at least ancient monsters that have existed for over a thousand years. Their sequence isn't low; it's barely enough to test that Underworld's essence."

A burly Judgement Knight, with a cross-shaped scar on his face, said in a gruff voice, his tone filled with dissatisfaction over the Council of the Dead's retreat.

"However, these rats who've been hiding in the gutters for years are far too cautious. Faced with such an excellent opportunity, they actually chose to pass it up."

"Shall we intentionally create some accidents, or leak more enticing information, forcibly guiding them to spark a conflict between the Holy Spirit and the Council of the Dead?"

Another Judgement Knight's eyes showed signs of movement, clearly feeling it was a pity to miss such a good opportunity.

But his proposal was immediately stopped by one of the Cardinals with a raised hand.

"No." The Cardinal's voice was old and authoritative, "Our previous guidance has been very subtle, we cannot leave more obvious traces."

If the opposite party traces back to the source and proves that we, the Heretic Court, are the ones pulling the strings, if indeed that Emperor Fengdu has descended, or possesses unimaginable power.

No one can bear the consequences that may arise!"

The hall fell into a brief discussion and silence.

Finally, the Inquisitor, who had been sitting in the front with eyes closed, slowly opened his eyes.

His gaze was like a burning furnace, sweeping across the room, and he declared decisively:

"Continue monitoring the movements of the Council of the Dead, but postpone any active guiding of conflict or probing actions.

Be patient and wait for a more suitable opportunity before taking action."

"Yes, Chief Judge."

Although there was a faint sense of regret on everyone's faces, they could feel the strange and urgent nature of the Underworld's sudden emergence and the rise of the Holy Spirit.

Under the Chief Judge's orders, they could only temporarily suppress their impulses, reluctantly accepting this decision.

Yet, just as the Heretic Court decided to temporarily suspend actions, sudden changes occurred within the underground Tomb of the Dead at the Oranck Cemetery District!

Without any warning, the air in the center of the group tomb hall shattered like fragile glass, and a deep black space rift suddenly opened.

In the next second, a figure clad in black armor and holding shackles stepped out from the rift, appearing in the tomb.

The extraordinary waves emitted from its body were notably clear, reaching the level of Sequence 6.

"Hmm?"

The dead councilor who had just made a cautious decision shrank his pupils instantly, entering the highest state of alert, dense death energy surging around him.

He abruptly turned his head, cast a glance at the equally dumbstruck detective spy beside him, and then gave a resounding slap to the spy's face, angrily cursing: "Fool! You've been tracked back to the lair without realizing it!"

However, after scolding, the dead councilor's face remained vigilant but showed little expression of concern, instead, a sinister grin tugged at the corners of his mouth, as he stared ominously at the suddenly appearing Yin Soldier.

"Haha, a mere Sequence 6 dares to be so arrogant, to directly storm our Council of the Dead's group tomb hall?

It seems, our Council of the Dead has been dormant for too long, so much so that any Tom, Dick, and Harry feels they can casually come to insult!"

As he spoke, black energy surged around this dead councilor, he was preparing to personally take action, to make this impudent intruder understand the terrifying nature of Tomb of the Dead.

However, his movements abruptly stiffened.

Because right after the first Yin Soldier appeared, more space rifts, like webs, were forcibly torn open in various corners of the hall consecutively.

Following that, one after another, figures wearing identical Nether Armor and holding standard weapons, with their aura also steadily at Sequence 6, marched in like tides, appearing in the hall in an orderly and unison manner.

One, ten, a hundred, a thousand…

In a blink, thousands of Sequence 6 Yin Soldiers, densely packed, filled the grand group tomb hall; they moved in coordinated silence, cold eyes focusing on the dead councilor at the center of the hall and the shivering spy.

Each Yin Soldier emitted a stable and formidable Sequence 6 extraordinary wave.

Such a scene caused the sneer that had still held a trace of contempt and self-confidence on the dead councilor's face to completely freeze, replaced by an irrepressible, bone-deep fear.

Sequence 6! Thousands of Sequence 6!

He knows better than anyone what this signifies.

In this mysterious world, Extraordinary Traits are limited, and the law of aggregation determines the rarity of high-sequence individuals.

An extraordinary school, possessing dozens of above Sequence 6 transcendents, can already be considered a large-scale school.

Even the Seven Major Gods Church, despite claiming to have over a billion believers, within the church, with less than a few thousand actual Sequence 6 and above transcendents, as determined by the rules of Extraordinary Path itself. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

And currently appearing before him is merely the opposing force's soldiers, with their numbers comparable to the transcendent combat power of a top-tier Great Gods Church.

How is this possible?

Meanwhile, far away in the underground of the Steam Cathedral within the Heretic Court, through a magical mirror, numerous Church powerhouses witnessing this astonishing anomaly also fell into a deathly silence.

Everyone's eyes widened, faces filled with indescribable shock and emotional turmoil.

As they gazed at the army of Yin Soldiers crossing the void with no forewarning, bearing the pressure of Divine Court and Underworld through thousands of Sequence 6 auras, even from afar through the mirror, they felt suffocating pressure.

Although the individual ranks of these Yin Soldiers may not be considered top-notch by Judgement Knights and Cardinals, their overwhelming numbers completely violate the rules of the Extraordinary World.

Apart from these massive numbers of Yin Soldiers, at the other end of the black rift, they could sense more formidable auras poised to descend at any moment.

Such a terrifying army is enough to easily overturn a large-scale campaign, and even annihilate a medium-sized kingdom.

"This...is this...the power of the Underworld?"

A Judgement Knight murmured lost in thought, his voice filled with unprecedented shock and gravity.

Previous probing and schemes, at this moment were thrown into instability.
