Chapter 1074 – Waiting
“Master, a Demigod has reached nine thousand miles underground!” Bi Qingyue sent Zhao Feng a message one day.
“So fast?” Zhao Feng’s heart jumped.
One had to know that the God corpse was just ten thousand miles underground, and a Demigod had already reached nine thousand miles. From the looks of it, the divine power became weaker exponentially.
“I might not have enough power if it continues at this rate!” Zhao Feng said solemnly.
He had been cultivating with substandard God Crystals and was just one step away from the early stages of the Mystic Light Realm, but the speed of the Divine Light’s disappearance from was becoming faster and faster. If Zhao Feng was too slow, he would lose many opportunities.
“No, I need to get over there!” Zhao Feng decided. He contacted Bi Qingyue and obtained all information about the battlefield.
“The upper echelons of both lord dynasties seem to have seen the God corpse, so they decided to stop the war and scout out the treasures together,” Bi Qingyue told Zhao Feng.
The two lord dynasties only said that they would scout out the treasures underground together. There were no other clauses; if members of each lord dynasty met one another underground, they might attack.
In other words, the war had basically been transferred underground.
Furthermore, one could tell how big the treasury was underground just from looking at the range of the divine light. The two lord dynasties had no restrictions, which meant that anyone could go in if they wanted to.
“As I thought, it turned out like this!”
Zhao Feng had guessed this long ago. Because the secret beneath wasn’t a secret realm or a separate dimension, almost all of the strongest experts of both lord dynasties would enter. There was no way to limit the number of people even if they wanted to.
However, while there was no limit or restriction, normal Sacred Lords probably wouldn’t even dare to enter because the Sacred Kings and Demigods of both lord dynasties would be entering. If normal Sacred Lords entered and met a Sacred King or Demigod of the opposing lord dynasty, the only path in front of them was death.
The Heavenly Divine Realm was too far away for Sacred Lords at the initial and early stages of the Mystic Light Realm, so weaker Sacred Lords wouldn’t take such a huge risk.
Zhao Feng went to Sacred Doctor Jade Spirit after understanding everything. This time, he took out even more precious bits of flesh and bloodlines, as well as a small number of ancient resources he could distinguish, and told Sacred Doctor Jade Spirit to craft even higher graded pills.
Zhao Feng took these pills away seven days later and summoned Supreme Emperor Dark Night.
“Supreme Emperor Dark Night, immediately send out large amount of assassination missions that target the middle-upper echelon members of Nine Darkness Palace!” Zhao Feng immediately ordered. The number of assassination missions this time would be very big, and the difficulty would be very high.
Zhao Feng had specially marked out one of them; the Grand Elder of the Dark Ghost Clan.
Now that the Divine Power on the battlefield was fading away, the upper echelon members and the Demigod of Nine Darkness Palace couldn’t leave the battlefield. This was the best chance for the Hall of Gods to weaken Nine Darkness Palace.
Zhao Feng knew that, even if he didn’t take action against Nine Darkness Palace, the upper echelon members of Nine Darkness Palace might attack the Hall of Gods after they finished scouting out the God corpse.
One day, a large amount of missions that gave out plentiful rewards were set by the Silence Assassination Division, and their targets were all important members of Nine Darkness Palace or their subordinate forces.
Assassins were also looking at the timing. As most of Nine Darkness Palace’s strength was attracted by the battlefield, many assassins were willing to give it a try.
It was time for Zhao Feng to leave after giving out the orders.
Whoosh!
Zhao Feng waved his hand, and his figure started to turn faint and finally disappeared as a layer of silver light covered him. Zhao Feng used the Misty Spatial World to quickly head toward the Lan Province battlefield.
Zhao Feng suddenly stopped midway and concealed his aura as he arrived at the Dark Ghost Clan. With Zhao Feng’s current cultivation, he was able to sneak into the Dark Ghost Clan easily.
The Dark Ghost Clan was where Zhao Wang was staying. The Grand Elder of the Dark Ghost Clan was the elder that had tried to kill Zhao Feng with the Evil Death Yin Spirit Array alongside the black-armored Sacred Lord and company, but he managed to escape in the end.
“It’s time to take your life!” Zhao Feng laughed coldly. He left a Mark of the God Eye on the elder back then, so he was able to sense his location precisely.
At a certain moment, Zhao Feng walked past Zhao Wang in the Dark Ghost Clan, and the two smiled at one another.
Zhao Wang had acted on Zhao Feng’s orders last time and left the clan for a while. When he returned, he claimed that he had encountered big fortune that allowed his cultivation to increase quickly. Zhao Wang was now a Peak-tier King, and his Soul Intent had reached the level of a Quasi-Sacred Lord.
Zhao Wang also had the Eye of Death. Although he didn’t reveal it, the Eye of Death allowed his cultivation in the Dao of Ghosts and the Dao of Death to progress smoothly. Even some peak Emperor Elders of the Dark Ghost Clan weren’t Zhao Wang’s match.
Zhao Feng soon arrived in a canyon surrounded by dark ghastly air.
Weng~~ Whoosh!
Zhao Feng immediately activated the Sacred Lightning Body, and a burst of golden light shone from him. A dark yellow layer of lightning surfaced on his body, and an invisible pressure radiated from him and covered Heaven and Earth.
Boom!
Zhao Feng shattered the array in front of the canyon with a punch and charged straight in.
“Who is it!?” The elder in seclusion within the canyon was instantly awakened.
“Lightning Tribulation Eye Flame!” Zhao Feng used his killing move directly.
Whoosh!
A ball of burning Lightning Tribulation marks with a terrifying Soul aura landed on the elder’s soul.
“Arghh, it’s you...!” the elder screamed.
Whoosh!
In just an instant, the Lightning Tribulation Eye Flame turned the soul of the elder into ashes.
One had to know that Zhao Feng’s Soul Intent had reached the late stages of the Mystic Light Realm, and even Sacred King Feather Spirit was injured by Zhao Feng’s Lightning Tribulation Eye Flame. How could a measly Sacred Lord at the initial stages of the Mystic Light Realm block Zhao Feng’s soul attack?
The entire Dark Ghost Clan started to take action as the Grand Elder of the Dark Ghost Clan died.
“Who dares to enter the forbidden area of the Dark Ghost Clan?”
“What courage! Do you not know that the Dark Ghost Clan is one of the biggest subordinate forces of Nine Darkness Palace?”
Some Emperors within the Dark Ghost Clan roared as they released their Divine Senses, but Zhao Feng already used the Misty Spatial World and left after killing the Grand Elder of the Dark Ghost Clan.
Zhao Feng’s figure slowly appeared outside a Spiritual Palace in some part of the continent zone.
“I’ll leave the rest to you!” Zhao Feng smiled and said to himself. He did everything to pave a path for Zhao Wang. With the death of the Dark Ghost Clan’s Grand Elder and all the upper echelon members of Nine Darkness Palace being gathered at the battlefield, the Dark Ghost Clan would choose a new Grand Elder themselves, and the Elders would change too.
After leaving everything to Zhao Wang, Zhao Feng used the Misty Spatial World to head toward the battlefield of Lan Province.
Several days later:
Whoosh!
Zhao Feng’s figure suddenly appeared outside a city near the battlefield of Lan Province, but the city was extremely empty. Most of the experts that were once here had gone underground.
Boom!
A wicked figure covered in purple-and-blood-colored light suddenly charged out from the city. Alongside the figure was a terrifying, forceful, wicked power that shook the hearts of the remaining experts within the city.
“I thought you wouldn’t come.” Nan Gongsheng inspected Zhao Feng with interest. Although he knew that Zhao Feng had the Misty Spatial World and could arrive very easily, the treasury below was extremely dangerous. Normal Sacred Lords at the initial or early stages of the Mystic Light Realm didn’t dare to enter.
Furthermore, Zhao Feng had a feud with Nine Darkness Palace. He would die if he met a Sacred King or Demigod from Nine Darkness Palace.
“Your strength...” Nan Gongsheng’s eyebrows furrowed. Zhao Feng’s cultivation hadn’t improved by much.
“Brother Feng, take me with you!” Zhao Yufei’s voice sounded at this moment, and the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi suddenly shook. A purple figure flashed to Zhao Feng’s side and instantly released a powerful bloodline pressure.
Zhao Yufei was at the early stages of the Mystic Light Realm, and her skin gave off a purple light as if she was a goddess of jade and ice. Even someone as strong as Nan Gongsheng felt his Sacred Power and bloodline tremble.
“Yufei’s strength...” Zhao Feng was surprised. He didn’t expect the small amount of resources he gave her to make her so much stronger.
“As expected of the Spiritual Race bloodline!” Nan Gongsheng obviously knew that Zhao Yufei had the bloodline of the Spiritual Race, but it was easy to tell that the purity of it had increased from the fact that her bloodline could now pressure him.
“The two of you are about right,” Nan Gongsheng had a cold expression as he said casually. He was disappointed by the fact that Zhao Feng didn’t break through, but he placed a lot of importance on Zhao Yufei’s Spiritual Race bloodline.
“Then let’s go!” Zhao Feng didn’t say too much.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The three immediately left.
An abyss that extended across the battlefield appeared in the earth. Countless experts consisting mostly of Kings and Emperors gathered near the abyss. There were also many Sacred Lords at the initial stages of the Mystic Light Realm.
On the opposite side of the abyss were a bunch of non-humans.
“That’s Zhao Yufei, Nan Gongsheng, and Zhao Feng!”
“The Purple-Haired Demonic Duo are going to team up once more?”
“That Zhao Feng really doesn’t know how death is written. He wants the treasures underground even though he’s only at the initial stages of the Mystic Light Realm?”
Many experts near the abyss mocked or were in shock.
A black-armored male immediately used a unique message token and sent out a message as soon as he saw Zhao Feng appear; “Senior Feather Spirit, Zhao Feng is here!”
A jade slip appeared in the hand of an elder in black robes nearby, and it quickly merged into the air and disappeared.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Zhao Feng, Zhao Yufei, and Nan Gongsheng jumped into the abyss and started to head downward.
Weng~
A faint layer of gold light appeared on Zhao Feng’s left eye.
“The Divine Power hasn’t completely disappeared yet. All the experts of both lord dynasties are waiting underground!” Zhao Feng’s gaze saw through everything.
Many experts from both lord dynasties stood close to the God corpse. Most of these experts were gathered in groups, representing some particular force. The forces that were able to stay underground were the strongest and most terrifying forces in the continent zone.
