Chapter 882: Chapter 877: Great Battle I

Ssss....

From within the black stone, there suddenly came a sound of greedy drooling.

"You have already contacted Gao Guo and the others. Isn’t the number a bit too many?" A sharp, eerie voice came from inside the black stone.

"I don’t want the Taoist Ancestor Origin; what I want is something else." Xia said with a harmonious smile on his face.

"There’s only one chance. To be safe, I called a fourth person to go with us. With four Evil God Kings, even if something unexpected happens, there won’t be any problems."

Bigen Si, with simple thoughts, agreed that with so many Evil God Kings together, there shouldn’t be any issues.

Even if there’s a big problem in the Nether City of the Shadow Realm, it can’t possibly annihilate their Evil God Kings.

At most, they would just be temporarily trapped.

"Rest assured, with my cooperation, there’s absolutely no problem," Xia said softly.

"That’s true; you’ve traveled through so many universes and never do anything without assurance. I trust you."

Bigen Si finally made up his mind, assured.

"As long as you understand." Xia smiled mysteriously, but that was always his expression.

Bigen Si didn’t find it strange either.

********************

Northern Starfield

Jiu Se Divine Domain.

Rings of golden light surrounded the entire Divine Realm, as if draped in a faint golden veil.

The Divine Realm resembled a golden disc, constantly rotating, emitting a massive repulsion force, blocking the surrounding white calamity mist outside.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, golden lotus-like flying objects slowly soared from within the Divine Realm.

Behind countless flying objects, a gigantic platinum lotus slowly ascended into the sky.

Jiu Se stood on the lotus seat, looking around.

Four extremely powerful figures stood behind him, like four shadows guarding him.

"Ascend the palanquin!"

A tender and beautiful female voice slowly resonated in the void.

Jiu Se stood up, and a white carriage drawn by sixteen Golden Dragons and Golden Phoenixes slowly materialized in front of him.

He stepped into it, and the four shadows behind him gradually revealed their true forms.

They were three Buddhas with halos of Buddha’s Light behind them, and a white-haired old man dressed in a white robe with unkempt hair.

Buzz!!

Just as Jiu Se moved, the golden Divine Realm suddenly boiled, with countless golden rays shooting out, materializing numerous Arhat Bodhisattvas around Jiu Se’s carriage.

And Celestial Maidens slowly sang, scattering petals around.

Jiu Se had three types of carriages.

The first type of carriage was formally drawn by one black and one white Heaven Dragon and Heavenly Phoenix.

The Heaven Dragon represented the strongest bloodline among the Dragon Race, the most noble clan.

They are born as Fifth Rank powerhouses, and after reaching adulthood, possess extremely high cultivation potential. They are the only exceptions among all Spirit Vein Purebloods.

All other Spirit Vein Purebloods, if born with formidable strength, would find it incredibly difficult to advance later on.

This is the natural law of the Grand Universe’s will; a balance must be maintained.

But this balance does not apply to Heaven Dragons and Heavenly Phoenixes.

For they inherently disrupt the balance of the universe.

It is for this reason that only two Yin Heavenly Dragons and Yang Heavenly Phoenixes remain. This is due to Jiu Se at the critical moment, helping them withstand the crushing and causality of the Grand Universe’s will.

The entire Heaven Dragon and Heavenly Phoenix clan are left with just the two used by Jiu Se to draw his carriage.

The other is the third type of carriage, which is the most ordinary, as was used earlier at Green Lake Mountain.

However, at this moment, Jiu Se was not sitting in these two types of carriages but in the second type.

The second type of carriage is drawn by sixteen Pure Blood Golden Dragons and Golden Phoenixes.

Every Golden Dragon is the legendary king of the Dragon Race, and every Golden Phoenix is the legendary master of the Phoenix.

Harnessing the kings of dragons and phoenixes to pull the carriage.

And all of the Dragon Race are actually the descendants of the Tian Yin Dragon King’s bloodline.

This is why the Tian Yin Dragon King would target the Future Buddha; apart from its power, this aspect is not without reason.

"The second-class carriage represents conquest. Is the Buddha planning to personally go to war?"

The white-bearded old Taoist hesitated slightly.

"Now besides the Shadow Side and Tian Yin Dragon King, who else can block the path of the Buddha who has already attained Buddhahood?"

A Bodhisattva with a pointed spiral hat on her head said softly. She was draped in a half-kasaya, and her skin shone like gold, with no hair visible.

"There are still some..." another Buddha, wearing a traveler’s band and with a hint of hostility on his face, slowly said.

"Isn’t another Sherie Divine Monarch nothing but a small fish preventing the rise of our Divine Realm?"

"In the midst of great wars, first eliminate small fry and clean away the filth, preparing everything. This is, I believe, what the Buddha means."

The last person was surrounded by the flames of sin and karma. These flames had no temperature but could scorch and destroy souls.

Those who were sinful would be paralyzed upon touching and die upon contact.

But this Buddha had the flames of sin and karma wrapped around him like a ribbon.

War Spirit Buddha, Buddha of Eternal Life, and Combat Buddha.

Added to that was the top seeker ancestor that Jiu Se invited from the Central Star Domain.

The lineup of these four individuals, each had absolutely reached the pinnacle among seekers like the Universal Heavenly Venerable.

As long as the Taoist Ancestor didn’t appear, they would be invincible.

But at this moment, all four quietly awaited the words of Jiu Se Divine Lord on the carriage.

"Head directly to the Nether City in the Shadow Realm. If we leave now, we can still be back by evening to drink wine."

The voice of Jiu Se emerged from the chariot.

The evening he referred to naturally meant the operational time within the Divine Realm.

At this moment in the Divine Realm, it was still only noon.

"Buddha of Eternal Life, accompany me.

The other two, guard the Divine Realm."

Jiu Se arranged.

The Buddha engulfed in the flames of karmic sin responded and slowly stepped forward, following the chariot as it suddenly ascended.

There were no other guards or armies, just a few chariots and the Buddha of Eternal Life.

Two halos, one of gold and one of red, suddenly shot out, charging towards the calamity aura in the distance.

Wherever they went, the calamity aura rolled away, automatically opening a path.

The people below gazed at the halos as they merged into the ocean of calamity aura and quickly disappeared entirely.

Swish!!

The gold and red escape light moved unbelievably fast, slicing through the calamity aura like a sharp blade, easily cutting through everything, heading towards the direction of Nether City in the Shadow Realm.

With no many worlds or star systems in the way, only varying densities of calamity aura that couldn’t obstruct the terrifying speed of Jiu Se Divine Lord and the Buddha of Eternal Life.

The Jiu Se Divine Domain was quickly left behind as they traversed the Central Starfield. Although there was no teleportation formation, due to their incredible speed, it only took them half a month.

To reach the area where Nether City in the Shadow Realm was located.

Boom!!

A vortex of calamity aura was violently shattered.

Sixteen dragons and phoenixes charged madly forward, golden light and force fields oscillating, completely spreading apart the surrounding calamity aura.

Perhaps due to the calamity aura, connections with the void and other Heavenly Realms’ abysses were completely severed.

The terrifying power of the dragons and phoenixes tore through the calamity aura, causing spacetime distortions; aside from calamity aura, there was nothing else.

No matter how much space was shattered, except for the visible calamity aura, there was nothing else to see.

The golden chariot broke through the clouds of calamity aura, flying towards Nether City in the Shadow Realm without any hesitation.

Jiu Se sat within the chariot, quietly sitting across from a beautiful woman, holding a chess piece in his hand, preparing to place it down gently.

"Oh?"

Jiu Se suddenly showed a slight surprise.

"What’s wrong, Divine Lord?" the woman asked softly, unperturbed, as there was nothing in her eyes that Jiu Se Divine Lord couldn’t handle.

"The Taoist Ancestor Origin... from Green Lake Mountain, it turns out that the remnants are all here...." Jiu Se’s lips curved into a smile.

"Very well, it saves me from searching everywhere."

"Is the Divine Lord still hopeful for the Taoist Ancestor of Green Lake Mountain?" the woman smiled. "They were merely using you, just as you used them."

"It doesn’t matter, but I didn’t expect that most of them are the remnants of Green Lake Mountain and the Shadow Realm...." Jiu Se closed his eyes and immediately gained a clear understanding of the general power distribution in Nether City in the Shadow Realm.

"It seems they’ve been living well, and the environment here is quite nice. Interesting. If it wasn’t necessary, I might be reluctant to act against this Nether City...."

Jiu Se sighed.

The higher his cultivation, the more his expressions seemed human-like, rather than purely cold.

"The Divine Lord can simply eliminate the main evil, which would also aid our Divine King’s Hall slightly, as we still have three members trapped in the Shadow Realm unable to come out."

"Do it along the way, rescue them if encountered, and if not, it is not fated; no need to force it."

Jiu Se stood up, almost reaching the Shadow Realm; for this short distance, he planned to move personally,

He held Nether City in the Shadow Realm in high regard.

Not just because of the Taoist Ancestor Origin or the remnants of Sherie Divine Lord’s Green Lake Mountain, but more so for the unusual findings he discovered in Nether City.

"Then, I’ll prepare wine and tea for the Divine Lord. A Sherie Divine Lord shouldn’t take much time to subdue."

"Very well." Jiu Se nodded, stepping forward, and in a blink, he left the cabin, appearing outside in the calamity aura.

Directly in front of him was an endless sea of calamity aura, nothing visible.

Jiu Se slightly closed his eyes, as if identifying the direction, took another step forward, about to cross out.

Boom!!

Suddenly, the entire chariot trembled violently.

A black arrow unexpectedly pierced through from far behind, penetrating the sixteen dragons and phoenixes pulling the chariot, carrying fine streams of blood, heading towards Jiu Se’s back.

The arrow seemed to be perpetually spinning at high speed.

Its speed was astonishing, and in the instant Jiu Se sensed the light, while the arrow was still destroying the chariot, he felt a faint pain in his back, as if something extremely sharp was piercing into his back.

"This is...." His expression tightened.

Turning around, he reached out to grab the arrow.

Sss!

The arrow was easily caught by him, instantly revealing its true form.

It turned out to be a soft, pitch-black stream of water, condensed into a water arrow.

Buzz!!

The captured water arrow attempted to explode violently, but as its entire body emitted a splitting white light, the countless destructive forces hadn’t fully erupted when it was tightly halted by an invisible binding force.

The water arrow remained in a state of impending destruction.

Numerous white cracks appeared all over, and destructive light leaked from within, but it couldn’t explode with any force.

As if time had suddenly stagnated at this moment.

Jiu Se held the water arrow, calmly gazing in the direction from which the arrow flew.

"This arrow is merely ordinary black water flow, with just a hint of a power seed inside.

It appears you have arrived."

Jiu Se said indifferently.
