Great Demon Sun Wukong-Chapter 770 - 687: Conspiracy Strikes

(Ming Tong is the Commander of the Underworld God Army, not a Legion Commander, correction there. Also, I realized something is off, haha, there are six people from the Genesis Divine Nation.)

In the Underworld God Annihilation Nation, the Domain Lord Xi Zhao, Guardian Ming Tong, the Yin-Yang Kirin Demon Spirit Butcher, Ke Mo, and standing next to Ke Mo was a man with purple hair. This person was Ling Weiyang’s Purple Gold Halberd. Previously in the Patrolling Celestial World, the Purple Gold Halberd transformed into human form and took away Xi Zhao’s Divine Weapon, Formless Vanishing. After that, he merged with Formless Vanishing to become the true Formless Divine Weapon. His cultivation after transformation was also at the Heavenly Venerate Primary Stage. The only drawback was that he could not transform back into the Purple Gold Halberd on his own. Since he transformed into human form while devouring the Formless Vanishing, only with Ling Weiyang’s help could he transform back into the Purple Gold Halberd. Otherwise, Xi Zhao would not waste such a precious slot to bring him along. The five people disappeared in an instant as well. At this point, the Six Great Divine Nations plus the Genesis Divine Nation from this high-level world, a total of thirty-six people, had all entered the Fallen Tomb.

In fact, after the trial in the Patrolling Celestial World, the Genesis Divine Nation was demoted to a high-level world. Strictly speaking, they were not qualified to enter the Fallen Tomb again. In reality, the Genesis Divine Nation did not receive the Heavenly Patrol Order issued by the Law Enforcers. However, they still obtained the token and entered the Fallen Tomb, and it was not five, but six tokens for six people. This is where it’s good to have backing; the reason the Genesis Divine Nation could get six tokens was all thanks to the Crimson Army. Before the opening of the Fallen Tomb, Ziling, the leader of the Crimson Army, found Xiao He, the Domain Lord of the Genesis Divine Nation and gave him six tokens. This was something the Law Enforcers and Ling Weiyang, Xi Zhao, and others had not anticipated.

No one expected the Crimson Army to have a Heavenly Patrol Order. In fact, the material for this Heavenly Patrol Order was not from this universe. It was something the Heavenly Patrollers obtained from an outer space battlefield, from another universe. Afterward, it was refined to become the current Heavenly Patrol Order. However, since the Fallen Tomb had been opened many times before, the Crimson Army had taken notice. Therefore, the last time they entered the outer space battlefield, they also collected some of that special material and imitated the Heavenly Patrol Order to create twenty tokens. But since they were imitations, only eleven of them could be used. Thus, Ziling gave six of them to Xiao He, the Domain Lord of the Genesis Divine Nation. The remaining five were just right for the five people of the Crimson Army to use themselves.

Moreover, since the Genesis Divine Nation was not counted in the list of those entering the Fallen Tomb, Xiao He did not know that there were only five slots available this time. Hence, when the Fallen Tomb opened, the six tokens allowed six people to enter, so the six people of the Genesis Divine Nation entered the Fallen Tomb just like that. It must be said that they were really lucky.

After everyone had entered the Fallen Tomb, a strange incident suddenly occurred in the Netherworld World. Not long after Yue Huangquan and his party left, Tang Sanzang, Zhu Bajie, Sha Wujing, and the White Dragon mysteriously disappeared. Nobody knew when they vanished, nor why. After searching the entire world, there was no news of these four, as if they had evaporated into thin air all of a sudden.

The Fallen Tomb was still as dark and gloomy as when Sun Wukong entered it, devoid of day and moon. The place where the five from the Netherworld World appeared was a coast with the surging Endless Blood Sea beside them. It was in the middle of this Blood Sea where Sun Wukong and the little monkey had originally reached that small island, which in fact, was not an island at all, but an Island Turtle. Looking at the rolling Blood Sea and the stench of vital energy blowing in their faces, Yue Huangquan and the others frowned. However, Hei Kui’s eyes shone with excitement. The bloody scent that made everyone else uncomfortable was like a tonic to him.

The reason Hei Kui had become like this dates back to when Sun Wukong first entered the Fallen Tomb. Sun Wukong entered the Life and Death Blood Realm and it was Wu Ming who paid with his life to open the entrance for Sun Wukong. As a result, Wu Ming completely perished. After Wu Ming’s death, the Life and Death Blood Realm was thrown into chaos. Without Wu Ming controlling the Tongtian Holy Tower, all the Blood Spirit creatures within the Life and Death Blood Realm became uncontrollable. And those in the Tongtian Holy Tower, without the ability to control it, caused unprecedented chaos in the Life and Death Blood Realm, with all Blood Spirit creatures becoming mad and devouring each other. The chaos caused the Gatekeeper Hei Kui to also be implicated. He had to continuously infuse his own vital energy into the gate of the Life and Death Blood Realm to prevent being devoured by the chaotic vital energy and dying. Thus, he needed to absorb a large amount of external vital energy to maintain it. Now with the Endless Blood Sea, Hei Kui could absorb all the vital energy he needed to completely seal the gate inside him.

Doing so would mean he could no longer freely control the gate to the Life and Death Blood Realm, but his own life would be safe, and his cultivation would skyrocket as a result. The vital energy was also a great tonic for him. However, Hei Kui also planned ahead for himself and Sun Wukong. He would reserve the right to open the gate to the Life and Death Blood Realm one last time so that he could open it for Sun Wukong when he returned. Yue Huangquan and the others were aware of Hei Kui’s situation, so there was no need for further explanation. Yue Huangquan simply waved his hand, and without saying more, Hei Kui took a few running steps and leaped into the Blood Sea.

The death of Wu Ming and the destruction of the Ancient Primordial World dealt a considerable blow to the strength of that supreme being, which in turn saved a lot of energy for Sun Wukong and the others when they later confronted that supreme being. The Ancient Primordial World was the most important place for that person to create puppet soldiers using Soul Devouring Insects. This was also why after Tang Sanzang lost his memory, he was so keen on going to the Ancient Primordial World—it was all a part of that being’s plan to lure Tang Sanzang there. Unfortunately, this plan was inadvertently foiled by Xi Zhao, which could be considered a fortuitous coincidence.

"With Hei Kui gone, it’ll be at least ten days or half a month before he returns, so let’s start exploring nearby during this time. This last stop will surely be a tough battle, and it’s still early. Sword Hero, try to contact the others and see if you can get through. Right now, there are only five of us, which is quite dangerous!" After entering the Fallen Tomb, everyone’s situation had become extremely perilous, not just because of the Fallen Tomb itself, but also due to the enemies around them. Because of the Law Enforcers’ orders, except for the Netherworld World, each Divine Nation could only send in five people. An encounter with enemies would definitely lead to a fierce fight, and if the number of enemies exceeded five, it would be particularly dangerous. Those who entered the Fallen Tomb this time were surely the peak powerhouses from their respective Divine Nations, and at the very least, they would be Heavenly Venerates. In this final battlefield inside the Fallen Tomb, anyone beneath the Heavenly Venerate level was merely cannon fodder.

It can be said that within the Fallen Tomb now, there are a total of thirty-six people from seven forces, all of whom are strong practitioners of the Heavenly Venerate Realm. In the previous universes, there were never so many Heavenly Venerates. Each Divine Nation had at most two or three. But now, for the sake of this final battle for the Fallen Tomb, over the eighty years following the Patrolling Celestial World, the various Divine Nations had used every possible means to increase the number of Heavenly Venerates on their side, regardless of any consumption. It could be said that increasing the number of Heavenly Venerate powerhouses had become a sort of arms race. And the final result was that even the weakest Divine Nation had about eight Heavenly Venerates, and old-guard Divine Nations like Myriad Demons Country and Genesis Divine Nation had no fewer than ten Heavenly Venerates each.

This would have been unimaginable in the past, as if suddenly in the universe, there were Domain Lords as common as stray dogs and Heavenly Venerates scattered everywhere. However, just how much of this increase in Heavenly Venerates was mere inflation would only be revealed in real combat. It has to be known that even within the same Realm, there are strong and weak combat powers, and the gap in the Heavenly Venerate Realm is even more pronounced. Back when the Nine Great Divine Kingdoms existed, nine Domain Lords joined forces but could not defeat a single Heavenly Patroller, which is the best proof of this. It’s noteworthy that among those nine Domain Lords, six were Heavenly Venerates.

Therefore, from today onwards, the Fallen Tomb is destined to stir up a storm of blood and violence. Soon after, Rogue Heart Sword Hero looked somewhat frustratedly at Yue Huangquan and said, "My Lord, in this place, my Divine Consciousness can only scout about a thousand meters around me, and all means of communication are completely unusable; this world seems to have a great amount of interference." Yue Huangquan nodded. In the past, many people had entered the Fallen Tomb, and although the information they brought back was limited, it gave everyone some understanding of the tomb. The Fallen Tomb was fraught with danger, scouting with Divine Consciousness was essentially ineffective, and all means of communication were disabled. Moreover, in this place, it was difficult to absorb sufficient Spiritual Power. Thus, how to conserve one’s own Spiritual Power became exceedingly important.

"Let’s use this spot as the center and conduct the first reconnaissance with a radius of three thousand meters. Everyone must remain fully vigilant and, in addition, remember to conserve Spiritual Power. Although we have brought enough Elixirs to replenish our Spiritual Power, if we suddenly encounter enemies, they will not give us time to recover our Spiritual Power." The other three nodded in agreement, and after establishing some methods of communication, they began their first exploration. freewēbnoveℓ.com

In the Fallen Tomb, scouting with Divine Consciousness was limited to a mere thousand meters, which was almost the same as what one could see with their eyes, so no one wasted their Divine Consciousness on scouting anymore. If Sun Wukong had been there, he would have been astonished. The time he rode the Island Turtle and followed the little monkey in the Blood Sea, he managed to use Divine Consciousness to scout tens of thousands of meters to the bottom of the Blood Sea and even discovered that gigantic Kirin. But even Yue Huangquan’s Divine Consciousness Scouting was only a little over fifteen hundred meters, which suggests that Sun Wukong’s situation at that time was very special.

As the people of the Netherworld World began their exploration, the other Divine Nations also started similar actions. They were actually also visiting for the first time, and although they had heard some rumors about the Fallen Tomb before, they still needed to see it with their own eyes. And just as all forces began their reconnaissance, a major crisis targeting the Netherworld World had already quietly begun. (To be continued.
