Chapter 161: Bait on the Hook 1
After everything was arranged, Gong Ya returned to the small mountain village with Xinning.
On the way, Ming Tianbei came running out with his broken bowl, crying tears of joy, he said:
“Congratulations, Demon Monarch, my congratulations to you!”
He had seen everything, how the Demon Monarch effortlessly devoured a split soul!
His heart was also filled with shock.
He had thought there would be a terrifying battle between Gong Ya Demon Marshal and Jingmie Demon Marshal, but unexpectedly, merely by entering that small courtyard, everything had been resolved…
The entity in that small courtyard was too frightening, no wonder Zi Jia’er
Demon Monarch followed by its side.
Xinning glanced at Ming Tianbei and suddenly said:
“That… The things you beg for, if you have surplus, save some… I still need to expand my demon army in the future.”As a Demon Monarch, she also had countless followers under her command.
And although Ming Tianbei was begging here, the things he begged for were useful not only to her followers but even to the Demon Marshals.
Upon hearing this, Ming Tianbei immediately replied solemnly:
“Rest assured, Demon Monarch, I will definitely increase my begging efforts to tirelessly strengthen your demon army!”
He gripped his broken bowl with excitement.
Xinning suddenly felt this was a bit odd.
They then returned.
At this moment.
Jing Mie had already appeared in the Void Sea Domain outside the Heavenly Realm.
His speed was incredibly fast, spreading Xinning’s Demon Blood throughout the surrounding tens of thousands of li of the Void Sea.
At the same time, he infused his cultivation level.
Waves of Demonic Qi would traverse space!
Ordinary people couldn’t sense it, but those other seven split souls originating from the same source as Xinning could definitely detect it!
In no time, the seven split souls would converge like sharks that had caught the scent of blood, swiftly gathering here.
Shortly thereafter.
In the Void Sea Domain above the myriad heavens.
In a far-off world within a mountain range, inside a Demon Palace:
“I’ve sensed it… Two Primeval Souls have lost their independent consciousness!”
A little girl who was cultivating suddenly opened her eyes!
Hearing this, an elder beside her incredulously said:
“What? Demon Monarch, are you sure there’s no mistake? Two? Split souls that have lost their independent consciousness?”
The little girl stood up immediately and said:
“There’s no mistake… We must take action immediately, the other Primeval
Souls must have sensed it too, and if they reach them first, it’s over.”
The elder immediately knelt down and said, “Demon Monarch, please get on!”
The little girl climbed onto the elder’s back, and with the little girl on his back, the elder suddenly vanished from the spot.
Meanwhile.
In a desolate world.
This world was almost devoid of Saintly Spirits, everywhere emitting terrifying Demonic Qi, with trees growing in pitch black, utterly eerie.
In the midst of this world’s Xuanhuang Mist Sea, atop the World Tree, there was a Demon Palace.
Inside the Demon Palace, countless black Demonic Qi burst forth from the World Tree, then absorbed by the little girl within!
At this moment, the little girl opened her eyes.
Her eyes were pitch black, almost without any whites to be seen!
She was like a little fierce ghost.
“Blood Spear!”
With her call, a warrior appeared in the void, wielding a long spear and clad in demon armor!
The warrior said in a deep voice, “Demon Monarch, what is it?”
The little girl spoke word byword, “I’ve sensed, in some part of the Void Sea Domain, two split souls that have lost their independent consciousness have appeared!”
“They… are summoning me!”
Upon hearing this, the warrior Blood Spear’s brow arched, he stepped forward, picked up the little girl, and with a swipe of his long spear in the void, a Void Gate appeared!
Blood Spear, carrying the little girl, directly entered it!
Across various parts of the Void Sea Domain, all Primeval Souls of the Nine Holy Demon Monarch sensed this call.
Once a Primeval Soul lost its independent consciousness, it would develop a desire to merge with other Primeval Souls.
This desire caused them to summon those Primeval Souls that had independent consciousness.
This summoning, originating from the Demon Monarch’s Primeval Soul, could traverse countless spatial distances!
Therefore, at this moment, the seven scattered Primeval Souls among the Million Lower Realms all sped towards a certain direction!
In the Diming Realm.
After the battle for the realm, the Diming Realm was still in a state of panic!
They had sent some people to explore this new grand world, but they found that hundreds of thousands of allied troops had seemingly vanished into thin air.
No one saw them alive, nor did they find any bodies upon death; not even wreckage from a warship could be located.
“That new world must harbor a forbidden zone somewhere, turning the allied forces into slaves of the forbidden zone…”
“Impossible, among the million lower worlds, only the Three Great Heavenly Realms possess some forbidden zones!”
“Right, although it’s bizarre, it still doesn’t prove that such a place exists!”
However, no matter what they speculated, for the time being, no one dared to approach that new world again.
It was far too dangerous!
Xuanming Dynasty.
Within the Imperial Palace.
Suddenly, in a secret place, a white-haired middle-aged war general approached, step by step.
In his hands, he fondled two crystal clear beads, his entire demeanor exuding such indifference.
He effortlessly entered the barrier and saw the palace hidden in front of him.
Senluo Branch Hall.
As he appeared before the palace, the two Taiyi Golden Immortals inside hurried out to greet him with the utmost respect.
” Greetings, Sen Ming Immortal General!”
“Sen Ming Immortal General, your visit honors us greatly!”
They were all extremely delighted, never anticipating that the Sect Gate would act so swiftly.
Moreover, it was Sen Ming Immortal General himself who had arrived.
It must be noted, Sen Ming Immortal General was one of the most powerful Immortal Generals under the command of Senluo Immortal Monarch.
“Where are the Soul Lamps of Lin Wenshi and the other nine? Take me to see them,” Sen Ming said flatly, very directly.
“This way, please, Immortal General!”
The two Taiyi Golden Immortals led the way.
Shortly after, they arrived in front of a secret chamber.
The chamber’s entrance was sealed with all sorts of magical instruments!
“As there has been an incident involving life metamorphosis, we were worried something sinister could follow through the Soul Lamps, so we used magical instruments to seal this place…” one Taiyi Golden Immortal explained.
Upon hearing this, Sen Ming Immortal General frowned and snapped, “Enough with the nonsense. What ‘life metamorphosis’? It’s all baseless talk!”
He did not believe that outside the Three Great Heavenly Realms, there could be any forbidden zones.
The two Taiyi Golden Immortals instantly fell silent, hastily removed the magical instruments sealing the door, and opened the entrance.
As they entered the chamber, they were all suddenly shocked, their expressions drastically changing!
For within the chamber, the nine Soul Lamps… had now completely turned… purple!
Hiss!
Purple Soul Lamps?
At that moment, all three involuntarily gasped in shock.
“No… it’s true, life metamorphosis has indeed been completed…” one Taiyi Golden Immortal said, trembling.
According to all rumors related to life metamorphosis, once it was complete, the original owners’ Soul Lamps would turn entirely purple!
By then, the original people were still alive, but they were no longer the same beings.
They had become slaves of the forbidden zone!
“It actually… truly is life metamorphosis?!” Sen Ming Immortal General’s pupils contracted.
“These Soul Lamps must not remain!”
With a sweeping gesture, he extinguished all nine Soul Lamps at once!
With the Soul Lamps extinguished, Senluo Branch Hall’s final connection to Lin Wenshi and the other nine Taiyi Golden Immortals was severed.
“It seems this incident truly involves no small matter…” Sen Ming Immortal General muttered, “Considering the recent events in the Immortal Domain, I have an ominous premonition…”
At that moment, a messenger suddenly ran in, “Report!”
“News just came from the Xuanming Dynasty, the Soul Lamps of the tens of thousands of allied forces from Diming Realm… have all turned purple!”
Hearing this, the three people in the chamber took on an even graver expression.
“To accommodate tens of thousands of forbidden zone slaves… just how vast must this forbidden zone be?”
The two Taiyi Golden Immortals exchanged looks, each seeing fear in the other’s eyes.
Sen Ming Immortal General also suddenly felt an overwhelming heaviness.
“Order all forces in the Diming Realm to extinguish those Soul Lamps… I shall personally visit this so-called new world!”
After speaking, he turned and left the palace directly!
The two remaining Taiyi Golden Immortals looked at each other, dumbfounded!
Sen Ming Immortal General, in an instant, had already appeared in the Void Sea Domain.
He sped toward that so-called great world!
His speed was incredibly fast!
