"Greetings, Senior Brother Long Chen!"
As soon as Long Chen arrived, disciples from the Tianwu Alliance immediately stepped forward and saluted him.
Long Chen nodded and asked, "Any movement?" The
disciple replied, "Reporting to Senior Brother Long Chen, the aura of another world keeps invading the Tianwu Continent. However, the exit area hasn't expanded further. It seems to be suppressed by the laws of the Tianwu Continent. As for the specifics, we can't say for sure, and we're closely monitoring the situation." The
passage between the City of Wrongful Death and the Evil God's Tomb was accidentally opened by Mo Nian. The undead aura of the City of Wrongful Death poured into the Evil God's Tomb, thereby invading the Tianwu Continent.
However, once the aura of the underworld opened up a domain of undead spanning tens of thousands of miles at the entrance, it could no longer spread. Just like in the Yin-Yang Realm, the disciple's reasoning was probably correct—it was suppressed by the laws of the Tianwu Continent.
However, the undead domain was suppressed, but its aura began to erode the Tianwu Continent. When the undead aura of Tianwu Continent became dense enough to openly appear on the Tianwu Continent, the undead of the City of Wrongful Death could openly appear on the continent. That was truly terrifying.
"Roar!"
From within the Evil God's Cemetery came waves of howls, sounding like the wails of a devil, sending chills down one's spine.
"You all stay here, I'll go in and take a look." After Long Chen finished speaking, he headed straight for the Evil God's Tomb.
"Senior Brother Long Chen, you can't enter here..." The disciple was shocked, but Long Chen had already entered the Evil God's Tomb, and it was too late to stop him.
"Buzz!"
Long Chen entered the Evil God's Tomb. The atmosphere here was completely different from before. It used to be lifeless, but now, amid the decay, there was a trace of vitality.
As soon as Long Chen entered the Evil God's Tomb, countless undead whose clothes had rotted but whose bodies remained intact roared and charged at him.
"People from the evil path?"
Long Chen was slightly startled. These undead were not the strange holy spirits Mo Nian had mentioned, but were all evil cultivators. Though their clothes were tattered, they could be recognized as evil cultivated clothing.
The creatures Mo Nian mentioned from Wangsi City were not seen; looking around, they were all undead dressed in evil Taoist clothing.
Seeing the graves one after another on the earth, Long Chen suddenly understood that these evil cultivators were all those who had been buried.
"Whoosh!"
A demonic undead charged at Long Chen, gripping a long sword and slashing down head-on. It was a Tongming Realm expert who had just reached Long Chen when he was sent flying with a single palm.
"Huh?"
Long Chen was slightly startled. The evil elder hadn't been shattered by Long Chen's palm; his body was surprisingly tough.
You have to know how powerful Long Chen is—he could shatter mountains and rivers with a single palm, yet the old man didn't explode.
"The corpse was made into a puppet in a special way, and its combat power is even stronger than when it was alive." Another group of evil cultivators attacked, but Long Chen sent them flying with a single palm. Long Chen saw through the situation.
More and more undead puppets were alerted and charged toward Long Chen. With a wave of his hand, a burst of thunder shot out. The undead were possessed by the lightning, letting out piercing screams, white smoke billowing from their bodies. In less than a breath, they collapsed to the ground, turning into corpses.
"Clap clap clap"
Suddenly, applause erupted from the Evil God's Cemetery. A figure slowly emerged, his entire body shrouded in black mist, like a ghost in the dark night—it was Ye Ming, a powerful evil cultivator.
Ye Ming clapped his hands and praised, "To master heavenly punishment, throughout history, perhaps only you, Long Chen, have achieved this. Even a Great Emperor cannot. Truly admirable." "
If you truly admire me, you should come out in person to meet you, not test me with your avatar. How about that?" Afraid I'll kill you? Seeing Ye Ming appear, Long Chen stood with his hands behind his back and spoke calmly.
The Night Ming before him was not the real Night Darkness, but a clone, like a shadow in the darkness—elusive and hard to fathom.
Ye Ming smiled faintly, not angry. Instead, he nodded and said, "You're right, I am indeed afraid you'll kill me." "
So modest?" Long Chen was a bit surprised.
Ye Ming shook his head: "This isn't modesty, it's the facts. Although I feel a bit dissatisfied, I have to admit, right now, I'm no match for you."
Last time in the Star Domain Divine Realm, I almost swept across the world, but unfortunately, in the end, you still destroyed it.
I admit, you have the potential to rival an emperor, even more than that imperial son Yun Tian, which makes me even more wary of him.
But don't forget one thing: I am the seventh generation evil god. I reincarnated in nirvana, just to wait until today.
I've been planning for tens of thousands of years, and all the causes and effects have long been deduced. Although some minor accidents have happened now, it doesn't affect the final outcome.
The destruction of the Tianwu Continent is inevitable; all your efforts and struggles are in vain. "
You came out to see me just to talk nonsense?" Long Chen looked at Ye Ming, his eyes flashing with a sharp light, as if trying to see right through Ye Ming's heart.
"I'm telling you all this so you can prepare yourself and cultivate diligently. Before I emerge from seclusion, don't die at someone else's hands."
After all, you are the one I admire most among all the enemies I've met. I hope you can die by my hand. Ye Ming smiled faintly.
"But I want to kill you right now. What should I do?" Long Chen shrugged, a bit helpless.
"Hahaha... If you want to die soon, I won't stop you. At the end of the Evil God's Tomb is the City of Wrongful Death, which is my main battlefield. Come on, if I kill you, I won't have to worry about others beating you to you." Ye Ming laughed heartily, his figure merging into the endless darkness.
His laughter echoed through the world, and suddenly, the undead inside the Evil God's Tomb made way for a path—a path leading to the end of the graveyard.
Long Chen smiled faintly and really followed that path, heading straight for the depths of the Evil God's Tomb.
"Are you crazy?" On his main battlefield, if you go, wouldn't that be a death sentence? "Dragon Bone Evil Moon exclaimed in surprise.
Long Chen replied, "Through these few encounters, I've come to understand Ye Ming better. This person is actually a fool who appears wise. What he's doing is basically a case of having no money here."
This person has high cultivation but limited intelligence. He deliberately came out to scare me, but in reality, he just doesn't want me to go in. There must be some secret he doesn't want me to know. "
How do you know he's not playing along?" Did this on purpose? "Dragon Bone Xie Yue said.
"Life's journey is never 100% safe; taking risks is inevitable. Anyway, I trust my vision and intuition more."
Ye Ming's cleverness often comes from self-righteousness; all his schemes seem brilliant, but in reality, they always fall short by a bit of precision.
But someone like Ye Ming, who has been reborn from nirvana, possesses memories from his previous life and inherits all the pride from before. Such a personality is as stable as a star, impossible to change in the slightest.
So everyone around him was just his pawn, with no strategists at all. And anyone like him who dared to question his decisions would definitely be killed by him.
Xie Yue Let me ask you, when you roam the dark world, will you listen to your subordinates' opinions? Long Chen asked.
The Dragonbone Evil Moon fell silent immediately. It was once a dominant ruler and indeed had authority, always relying on its own personality. After Long Chen said this, it had no way to refute it.
Long Chen sped all the way, flanked by countless evil undead. These ancient powerhouses buried in the Evil God's Tomb were now summoned by the aura of the City of Wrongful Death, and all became undead.
However, these undead still maintained some consciousness, obeying Ye Ming's orders and not attacking Long Chen. Their eyes were already shriveled and sunken, staring at Long Chen like that. If it were anyone else, they would have been trembling all over with fear.
But Long Chen was fearless, as if he couldn't see them. He quickly rushed into the inner tomb, and just as Mo Nian had said, the coffins here had already disappeared.
When Long Chen arrived at the connecting passage, countless roars echoed from within. The roars were like thunder, shaking Long Chen's earbones with intense pain.
"This is definitely a being above Tongming, and there's more than one. Long Chen, if we go in, there might be no way out." Dragonbone Xie Yue advised, saying that once inside, Ye Ming would cut off his retreat, and he would be trapped and died in the City of Wrongful Death.
"It's fine. If I notice something's wrong, I'll run." Long Chen clenched his fist, clutching a bronze shard in his palm.
That bronze fragment was a fragment of the Eastern Wilderness Bell. Although it was just a fragment, after absorbing the primordial energy of the Ye family's replica bronze bell, it became extremely terrifying.
With it, even if Ye Ming set up a barrier, he could still break through. That was one of his trump cards to dare to charge in.
Moving forward along the passage, the aura of death grew thicker ahead. When they reached the end of the passage, Long Chen suddenly burst into loud laughter.
"Ye Ming, I knew you were so clever and deliberately trying to scare me. So there's an imperial seal here."
Long Chen saw that ahead of the passage was a barrier that connected to the darkness, separating the City of Wrongful Death from the Evil God's Tomb. Through the imperial seal, he could see the scene inside the city.
Within the City of Wrongful Death, countless undead roared at the Imperial Seal, but none dared approach.
The appearance of the Imperial Seal was extremely unexpected. Mo Nian would never lie, which meant the Imperial Seal only appeared after Mo Nian left.
When Long Chen approached the Imperial Seal, he noticed thick layers of dust on the ground both inside the passage and on the other side of the City of Wrongful Death, as if the corpses of the undead had turned to ashes.
On the transparent barrier was the character "Emperor," dyed with fresh blood—a mark formed from the condensation of imperial blood.
Imperial blood, noble and holy, carries the righteous energy of the primordial world, suppressing eternity. Seeing it fills one with awe and gratitude. The Great Emperor is no longer here, but it still nourishes all things and protects the Tianwu Continent.
Faced with Long Chen's mockery, Ye Ming didn't respond at all. It was unclear whether he was pretending not to hear or fainting from anger.
"Buzz"
As Long Chen approached the Imperial Seal, it glowed, and a beam of light enveloped him.
