Chapter 1854: Origin Land (3)

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

North Heavenly King's eyes flickered slightly. He ignored Dizhiluo. That was a death spirit with similar strength to him. And after so many years of being sealed, he might have dropped in strength. This was not someone North Heavenly King feared. Rather, he looked deeper, toward the bigger and darker beams.

How many experts were sealed there? Over the years, he had sent some people to investigate the Origin Land. Not one of his scouts had returned. These death spirits were clearly still sealed. In that case, how had all his scouts died? Just as he was asking himself that question, his heart thumped as he threw a punch forward.

Boom!

A dark figure appeared in the air. The figure was pushed back by the punch before clashing on the barrier and coughing a mouthful of dark blood.

With a flicker, the figure vanished. Just as North Heavenly King was about to give chase, Dizhiluo said, "Ming Douhe, are you trying to make us your enemies?"

North Heavenly King asked solemnly, "Do you have some death spirits under your control?"

The death spirit earlier was not weak at all. In fact, that death spirit was stronger than ordinary marquises. But that death spirit was also too brave. He had actually dared to attack a heavenly king.

Dizhiluo sneered and said, "We are the masters of the Death Realm. Is a running dog like you thinking of contending against the masters of the Death Realm?"

He continued, "Not long ago, a large number of people died. Did all those running dogs die?"

He sneered again and added, "The ancient past is over. It is time for running dogs like you to receive retribution. Clowns, the lot of you."

North Heavenly King said, "Looks like you are not completely isolated from the outside world. Are all of you gaining your freedom soon?"

"What do you think?" Dizhiluo laughed, looked up, and said, "It is only a matter of time."

He looked at North Heavenly King again and asked, "Running Dog, what do you think about joining us?"

North Heavenly King frowned and asked, "How many of you are still alive?"

Only one of the sealed death spirits had bothered to reveal himself. North Heavenly King wanted to know about the others. How many were still alive? And how strong were they?

Dizhiluo said, "More than you can imagine. The Death Imperator is still around. The Death Realm will return to us sooner or later."

North Heavenly King trembled slightly.

Death Imperator!

That was an extremely powerful death spirit from back then. During Martial King's conquest of the Death Realm, that was the only death spirit that had managed to pose some challenge to Martial King.

So he was sealed instead of killed?

Dizhiluo said, "Ming Douhe, don't bother. Where's Zi Yan? Is that woman dead?"

"West Royal Consort?"

"Ah, I suppose that's her title."

Numerous thoughts emerged in North Heavenly King's mind. He was surprised to learn that the West Royal Consort had colluded with these people as well. He said, "She seemed to have been captured. Maybe dead."

He looked at the barrier again. Recalling the death spirit who had attacked him earlier, he exclaimed, "She did this! Did she open a tiny hole in the seal?"

West Royal Consort was very proficient at the art of sealing. Over the years, she might have done something in the Origin Land, such as opening a tiny hole for these sealed death spirits, allowing them to gain control over some weaker death spirits. North Heavenly King doubted that a seal placed by Martial King and the others could be broken through so easily.

"Tsk, tsk. You're quite smart."

Dizhiluo said, "That woman promised to keep helping us with the seal, but she vanished. How foolish. I told her long ago that she only needed to free us and all her troubles would be solved. But she refused to trust us and delayed her help."

North Heavenly King's heart turned heavy. West Royal Consort...removing the seal...

He could guess what had happened. West Royal Consort must have visited this place frequently over the years, but she had probably held back in her work. She only did enough to keep them hopeful and establish a relationship. She was clearly worried that the act of freeing them would come back to bite her.

Dizhiluo did not continue talking about West Royal Consort. She was either dead and captured, so he had lost interest in talking about her. Instead, he smiled and said, "ming Douze, you seem to have been defeated. Looks like you lost to humanity. What about helping us with the seal? When we are free, you can remain as the North Heavenly King."

"Me?"

Just as he considered a matter, a soft voice rang out in his mind, "Kill all the marquises under you. That will allow us to gain more power from the dao. Ming Douze, what's the point of keeping these pieces of trash around you? Kill them all. We will drive away all outsiders and dominate the Death Realm. Things will return to how they were back then. We can even try to invade the world of the living. Anything is possible."

Yes. With the death of each marquis, they would be able to gain more power from the dao. In fact, the recent deaths of the various death spirit experts were the main reason for Dizhiluo to finally gain the ability to manifest his face so clearly.

North Heavenly King's heart thumped. Killing the marquises and releasing these people? Sure enough, this was a unique epoch where all sorts of incidents were happening. One ancient expert after another was appearing after countless years.

Through his observation, North Heavenly King noted that apart from Dizhiluo, the rest of the death spirits were still busy snatching more power from the dao. They were too busy to say anything to him. He said, "I'll consider the matter."

Then, he retreated rapidly. This wasn't a place he should stay for long. He couldn't guarantee that these people weren't hostile toward him as well. He had to watch his back around them. Before long, he was gone with his subordinates.

After he left, a face appeared on the pillar at the very end of the Sealed Region. The ordinary-looking face looked in North Heavenly King's direction before looking in a different direction, Su Yu's direction, to be specific.

A smile formed on that face as he said, "Humanity must have fully exhausted its accumulation. This is an era where all that his hidden shall return. A reset is coming. Be patient, Dizhiluo. We will get our revenge against humanity one day."

"I understand, Imperator." Dizhiluo laughed and said, "I was merely teasing Ming Douhe. That running dog is now being chased everywhere by his own masters. How laughable. When we are finally free, we will definitely conquer the Myriad Realms. With your power, Imperator, that is definitely possible."

The Imperator merely sighed before saying, "No, that's pointless. We only need the Death Realm. The world of the living is more than what it seems. We only need to drive away all outsiders and seal the Death Realm away. The living shall keep to themselves, and the dead shall also keep to themselves."

"But at the very least, we need to exterminate humanity to settle our grudge."

Dizhiluo said furiously, "Even if Tai Shan and the others are dead, we must exterminate his species."

The Imperator said nothing. Slowly, his face vanished from his pillar.

At the same time.

Luminous Domain Mansion.

Martial Emperor opened his eyes doubtfully. Then, a certain thought crossed his mind. He sneered and said, "Tai Shan, looks like more of your past wrongdoings are coming back to bite you."

Some stinky bugs in the Death Realm were on the verge of regaining their freedom. Sure enough, this epoch would be the final epoch before the world was reformed. The power of laws that had maintained the status quo for a hundred thousand years was receding, alongside all the seals placed back then.

This time, it was unlikely that the Allheaven Battlefield would shut down again like the previous epochs. The power of laws maintaining everything was running out. Su Yu's current arrogance was pointless. He would be faced with a crisis far bigger than what humanity of the previous epochs had faced.

After all, this was an era where Martial Emperor, the stinky bugs from the Death Realm, and the sealed beings in the Upper Realm would return. All the unsolved problems of Martial King and the others would emerge in this epoch. This would be a far harder epoch for humanity than the ninth epoch.

Martial Emperor sneered. The new human lord was too arrogant. He would finally know despair after the power of laws receded. Martial Emperor was confident Su Yu would die even if he were to leave Su Yu alone.

"Enjoy this while it lasts. In the end, this isn't your era."

But suddenly, Martial Emperor sighed, seemingly losing his good mood. How lame. It was unlikely that Su Yu would survive the coming disaster.

***

At the same time.

Su Yu was unaware of all that was happening. Rather, he was in a good mood. He had finally found the Dragon Realm. Fortunately, the corresponding spot was in the outer reaches of the Origin Land.

His tribulation character was pulsing, and he could guess why. It was merely a crisis. And the crisis would either originate from the Origin Land or Martial Emperor. Or it could be Hundred Battle King or even the Upper Realm.

Since his character wasn't reacting too intensely, it signified that there was still time. Someone must be thinking about him. That was all. It wasn't like he was unprepared for all these crises.

"All four realms have been found."

Su Yu exhaled in joy. Dangers? Crises? Whatever. There was still time.

He said, "Prepare to attack the Daofuses of the four realms. Conscript all our death spirit marquises. Have the guardians contact Great Zhou King and tell him to enter the Death Realm."

He was preparing to remove the four Daofuses from the board.

To complete something, he had to do it one step at a time. First, he would remove the four Daofuses. Then, he would handle Bountiful Treasure and Heavenly Overseer Marquis. And then, he would leave the Daofuses of the three major races alone to prevent them from doing something drastic.

And finally, he would shift his gaze toward the Upper Realm. He had a clear goal in mind. He would not wait obediently for the Upper Realm to open. He also needed to focus on gathering ninety-nine assembly tokens.

He would be glad to use the tokens to borrow the power of the heavenly laws. If that wasn't possible, he could simply use the tokens as materials to strengthen his Mark of Civilization. After all, he still needed to pioneer his own version of myriad daos.

Before long, his orders were passed on to his various subordinates. The attack on the four realms would begin soon.
