The Eastern Emperor Chen Yu's gaze was fixated on the statue, he had no idea what he was feeling. If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have given Jiang Fengjue a single chance!
"Royal brother, let's retreat!" The Eastern Emperor Ying turned to the Eastern Emperor, Chen Yu, and advised with a trace of worry in his eyes.
The current situation was extremely unfavorable for them. The other forces had already retreated, and if they still refused to leave, then once Jiang Fengjue started killing, he would probably bury them all here.
The reason why Jiang Feng Jue did not kill any of them and told them to get the hell out of here was because he was afraid of the Eastern Kingdom behind them. He did not want to kill them all, but in a situation of desperation, he was afraid that he would be able to do anything!
Jiang Fengxian was ranked in the top ten of the World Spiritist Succession List. As the strongest person in a world, how could he possibly be a merciful and lenient person?
Eastern Emperor Chen Yu's expression was extremely ugly. He looked towards a direction and saw a figure of black robe lying on the ground, and even now, he still had not gotten up. It was obvious that he had suffered heavy injuries in the previous battle and was unable to leave.
"Damn it!"
If this disgraceful thing had not stopped him, Jiang Fengjue would not have had the time to fuse with the statue. Perhaps, he could have replaced Jiang Fengjue and snatched the opportunity away, but it was already too late. He, the dignified ninth prince of Eastern Kingdom, was actually forced to leave this place!
The ground shook violently, many cracks extending out, as though an abyss had appeared. The ground where Eastern Kingdom and the rest were at started to crack, as though it was about to collapse.
"Ninth Prince, let's go." Eastern Kingdom's many figures spoke out at the same time. They could not stay here any longer.
"Let's go!" A sharp glint of light flickered in the eyes of the Eastern Emperor Chen Yu. Without any hesitation, he turned and departed. Dongfang Feng, Donghuang Ying, and the rest all followed behind him, leaving this underground palace swiftly.
At this moment, a figure was walking on a path in the palace. He seemed to be in a bad mood as he mumbled to himself, "What kind of broken place is this? It's like a maze. How come I can't get out? Where is the treasure?"
Suddenly, he stopped moving. His eyes revealed a strange expression, as if he had felt something unusual.
"Bang, bang!"
A series of banging sounds could be heard. The entire palace was like a huge whirlpool, and everything in the surroundings was stirred up.
Hou Sheng stood there unsteadily. As he gazed at the continuously rising ground, his eyes narrowed into slits, as though he had thought of something.
He retrieved the black long rod from his hands, leaped up, and with a swing of his staff, it smashed downwards. An extremely tyrannical force blasted towards the ground, actually smashing a deep fissure into the ground, as countless fragments disintegrated into nothingness.
With a flash, he immediately shot into the crevice. After that, his body continued to fall downwards as he smashed out with the staff, destroying all the obstructions below. However, a moment later, he could see what appeared to be a palace.
"It really is underground!" A hint of delight appeared on the Hou Sheng's face. He had been searching for such a long time and it turned out to be right under his feet.
The shock wave originated from the underground palace. At this moment, many parts of the underground palace had already collapsed and turned into rubble. Moreover, there were signs of them increasing in intensity.
Soon, he arrived at the deepest parts of the necropolis. He looked in front of him and saw a statue erected there. It was none other than the statue of the Grand Sage.
The moment he appeared, he felt an indifferent gaze shoot over. He only saw the two eyes of the statue staring at him with emotionless eyes, as it said, "Scram!"
"Heh, no one has ever dared to tell grandpa Hou to scram before. Who do you think you are?" Hearing the statue's words, the marquis was immediately enraged, and his body flew straight to the statue, holding onto the long rod with both hands, he swept out the long rod and released many pole shadows that seemed to overlap and become a pole that could destroy the heavens and the earth. The grand dao had returned, destroying everything.
The expression on the statue's face changed slightly as it suddenly lifted its arms and blasted out a palm strike. Within the underground palace, a formless energy gathered as it suppressed everything. A palm pierced through the air, shattering the pole shadows as though they were made of scrap paper.
"..." When Hou Sheng saw this scene, he was dumbfounded. His body stiffened in midair. What the hell was this?
"If you still don't leave, then die here." Another voice came from the sculpture. It was still as cold and emotionless as before.
"Are you human or a ghost?" Hou Sheng asked as he stared at the statue.
Another palm imprint blasted out, directly aiming for Hou Sheng, as though it was a response to his words.
"Humph!" He took a step forward as a shocking battle intent erupted from his body. The battle intent circulated around his body, transforming into a set of armor that shone with a brilliant divine light, as though it could increase his combat strength. The stronger his battle intent, the more terrifying it would be.
"Bam!"
The palm print and the long rod collided, and with a bang, the palm print exploded, but the energy contained in the palm print continued to flow into the long rod's palm, causing his palm to split open, and his body was flung outwards by a huge force, only stopping after he smashed into the wall.
"What kind of abnormal strength is this?" Hou Sheng couldn't help but curse. He thought that his strength was already monstrous enough, but he didn't expect that the statue's strength was even more terrifying. To be able to send him flying with a single strike, that was just too terrifying.
Seeing that Hou Sheng had only been sent flying without any major injuries, a rare glint of emotion appeared in the serene eyes of the statue. It glanced deeply at Hou Sheng, as if it wanted to see through him.
A beam of divine light abruptly shot out from the statue, engulfing the entire space before it directly enveloped the body of the marquis.
Feeling that the divine light was unharmed, he relaxed. A mysterious energy seeped into the meridians in his body, causing his life force to become even stronger.
In an instant, Hou Sheng's body was enveloped by the endless divine light and disappeared from the underground palace.
… ….
Cosmic Charm, Dubhe Palace.
Tian Shu sat cross-legged with his eyes closed. Strands of spirit energy circulated around his body, as if they were in accord with some kind of law, blending with the world around him. He sat there, but he seemed to also not be there.
Standing in front of him was an aged figure with his hands behind his back, staring at Tian Shu Zi, as if he had something to say, but he could not disturb Tian Shu Zi, and this person, was none other than Yuheng Zi.
After a long time, Tian Shu opened his eyes, looked at Yuheng Zi beside him, and asked, "How long have you been here for?"
"Not long ago, I just arrived." Yu Hengzi said with a smile.
"Why are you looking for me?" Tian Shu asked again.
I came to ask you for some information, I have a good impression of this little fellow. Now that he's in the Great Saint Ruins, I wonder how the situation is right now. Yuheng Zi said in a fawning tone. The scene in the Great Sage Ruins could only be seen by Tianshu Zi. He had no choice but to come here and beg for help.
"Who is it?" Tian Shu smiled as he looked at Yuheng Zi.
The corner of Yuheng Zi's mouth twitched. Wasn't he asking for it just because he knew it? He didn't believe that Tian Shu Zi didn't know who he was talking about.
"He's fine, don't worry." Tian Shu said, then laughed and looked at Yuheng Zi, teasing him: "Seems like you already intend to take him in as your disciple!"
"That brat's talent is very strong. Although I don't know where he comes from, I feel that his potential is limitless, and he will definitely become a great talent in the future. He will not be any weaker than Eastern Emperor." He had always been very confident in his own judgement.
It seemed that Tian Shu had long since gotten used to the former's personality. He only smiled and didn't say anything more. He could vaguely guess the background of that little fellow, and it was indeed extraordinary.
Seeing that Yuheng Zi had not left yet, Tian Shu asked, "Are you still busy?"
"Has there been any news of True Lord Taishang?" Yuheng Zi went straight to the point as he stared at Tian Shu. After so many years, it should be time to tell him the truth.
"Yes." Tian Shu nodded seriously.
"?" Yu Hengzi was stunned. He thought that he had misheard. This was the first time in so many years that he had responded positively to this matter.
"Isn't the opening of the cavern related to him?" Tian Shu lightly said.
"..." Yu Hengzi's face was filled with black lines. Indeed, he was too naive!
"Based on my calculations, it should be about time for the end." Tianshu Zi suddenly opened his mouth and said. There was an unfathomable look in his eyes, causing others to not know what he was thinking.
When Yuheng Zi heard this, his heart trembled. Could it be that he was going to open the Ling Mountain?
Once the Ling Mountain was activated, all the practitioners of the Xia Wang Jie would rush to the Ling Mountain, which would also set off the biggest battle in the Xia Wang Jie, all the top heaven's pride level experts would start fighting with each other on the stage, engaging in battles on the Great Dao. Only in the end, would they find out who was the most terrifying person amongst them.
With that in mind, Yuheng Zi started to look forward to it. Even after so many years, the Xia Wang Jie did not bring about such a grand occasion, and after a period of time, it would definitely become very lively and start an era of wind and clouds.
Moreover, this year there were quite a few outstanding characters. It was unknown what kind of sparks would be created if they were to collide with each other!
"Go back first and let them start preparing for the Ling Mountain." Yuheng Zi nodded and replied, "Leave it to me."
With that, he turned and left Dubhe Palace, and rushed back in the direction of the Ling Mountain!
