Chapter 771 - 687: A Conspiracy Strikes
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 beside Ke Mo, was a man with purple hair. This person was none other than the Purple Gold Halberd of Ling Weiyang. During the trials in the Patrolling Celestial World, the Purple Gold Halberd transformed into human form and took away Xi Zhao’s Divine Weapon, the Formless Vanishing. Thereafter, it merged the Formless Vanishing into the true Formless Divine Weapon. His cultivation after this transformation was also at the Heavenly Venerate Primary Stage. However, there was one drawback: he could not transform back into the Purple Gold Halberd on his own because when he devoured the Formless Vanishing, he did so in human form. Thus, he could only revert to the Purple Gold Halberd with Ling Weiyang’s assistance. Otherwise, Xi Zhao would not have bothered to bring along such a precious addition. The five people vanished in an instant. In this way, thirty-six individuals from the Six Great Divine Nations, including the Genesis Divine Nation, which is a high-level world, 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 and, by rights, should not have been eligible to enter the Fallen Tomb. In fact, the Genesis Divine Nation did not receive the Heavenly Patrol Order given by the Law Enforcers. Nevertheless, they still managed to obtain tokens and entered the Fallen Tomb. Moreover, it was not five but six tokens for six people. This is to say that having support has its advantages. The reason the Genesis Divine Nation could obtain six tokens was entirely due to the Crimson Army. Before the opening of the Fallen Tomb, the leader of the Crimson Army, Ziling, approached the Domain Lord Xiao He of the Genesis Divine Nation and gave him six tokens. This was completely beyond the expectations of the Law Enforcers and Ling Weiyang Xi Zhao.
None of them expected the Crimson Army to possess a Heavenly Patrol Order. In reality, the material for the Heavenly Patrol Order was not from this universe. It was acquired by the Heavenly Patroller from another universe in the battles beyond the skies and later refined to become the current Heavenly Patrol Order. However, since the Fallen Tomb had opened many times before, the Crimson Army had taken notice. Hence, on their last venture into the battlefield beyond the skies, they also collected some of that particular material and forged twenty tokens in imitation of the Heavenly Patrol Order. Due to being imitations, only eleven of them were usable. Therefore, Ziling gave six of these to the Domain Lord Xiao He of the Genesis Divine Nation. The remaining five tokens were conveniently used by the five people of the Crimson Army themselves. freewebnøvel.com
Furthermore, since the Genesis Divine Nation was not counted in the quota to enter the Fallen Tomb, Xiao He did not know there were only five spots available. Thus, when the Fallen Tomb opened because there were six tokens—one for each person—that meant six individuals from the Genesis Divine Nation ended up entering the Fallen Tomb. It must be said, that was quite fortunate.
After everyone had entered the Fallen Tomb, a strange occurrence took place in the Netherworld. Shortly after Yue Huangquan and the others had left, Tang Sanzang, Zhu Bajie, Sha Wujing, and Little White Dragon abruptly vanished. No one knew when they disappeared or why, but after searching the entire world, there was no trace of these four. It was as if they had suddenly evaporated into thin air.
The Fallen Tomb was still as gloomy and dim as when Sun Wukong entered it, with no sun or moon. The place where the five individuals from the Netherworld arrived was a shoreline beside the tumultuous Endless Blood Sea. In the middle of this blood sea was the same little island that Sun Wukong had reached with the little monkey back in the day. At the time, it wasn’t actually an island but an Island Turtle. Viewing the rolling blood sea and the pungent smell of vital energy rushing towards them, Yue Huangquan and the others frowned. But Hei Kui’s eyes shone; this odor, disagreeable to the others, was greatly nourishing for him.
The reason Hei Kui became like this goes back to when Sun Wukong first entered the Fallen Tomb. Sun Wukong entered the Fallen Tomb from the Life and Death Blood Realm, and it was Wu Ming who opened the entrance for him at the cost of her own life. As a consequence, Wu Ming perished completely. After Wu Ming’s death, the Life and Death Blood Realm descended into chaos. Without Wu Ming controlling the Tongtian Sacred Tower, all the Blood Spirit creatures inside became uncontrollable. And those in the tower lacked the ability to control it. Consequently, the Life and Death Blood Realm experienced unprecedented turmoil; all Blood Spirit creatures went wild and began devouring each other. The chaos in the Life and Death Blood Realm involved the Gatekeeper, Hei Kui, who had no choice but to pour his own vital energy into the great doors of the realm day and night. Otherwise, he would surely have been devoured by the berserk vital energy of the realm and perished. Thus, he needed to absorb a substantial amount of external vital energy to maintain himself. Now, with this boundless Blood Sea, Hei Kui could absorb enough vital energy to completely seal the doors of the Life and Death Blood Realm within him.
Though by doing so, he would no longer have control over the doors of the Life and Death Blood Realm at will, his own life would also be free from worry, and his cultivation would surge as a result. The vital energy was indeed a great supplement for him. However, Hei Kui had also kept a backdoor for himself and Sun Wukong; he would reserve the last opportunity to open the gates of the Life and Death Blood Realm for when Sun Wukong emerged. The situation with Hei Kui was known to Yue Huangquan and the others, so they didn’t need Hei Kui to explain further. Yue Huangquan waved his hand at him, and without another word, Hei Kui ran a few steps and dived into the Blood Sea with a leap.
