After hearing Jian Wushuang's explanation, the Nine Tribulations King and the Azure Peak Divine Marquis looked at each other and smiled.
They could tell that Jian Wushuang's explanation was somewhat perfunctory, but they did not blame Jian Wushuang. After all, everyone had secrets.
They were rather curious about Jian Wushuang's experiences over the past thousand years, but since Jian Wushuang was unwilling to say too much, they naturally would not ask.
"Jian Wushuang, it's good that you've returned safely. With you here, we have confidence in the final battle," the Azure Peak Divine Marquis said with a smile.
"Final battle?" Jian Wushuang raised an eyebrow, a hint of confusion flashing through his eyes.
The Nine Tribulations King nodded and said indifferently, "It's time for us to leave the Zenith Law Ruins, but before we leave …"
The Nine Tribulations King paused, a hint of ruthlessness flashing through his eyes.
"… Let's settle the score first!"
Jian Wushuang understood, and a hint of coldness flashed through his eyes.
"What do you plan to do?" Jian Wushuang asked.
"What do I plan to do?" The Nine Tribulations King smiled sinisterly. "Naturally, we'll kill our way to his door and crush his divine body inch by inch, incinerating his soul bit by bit."
"When?" Jian Wushuang nodded and asked.
"Anytime," the Nine Tribulations King replied.
Jian Wushuang thought for a moment, then replied, "Then let's do it in three days."
The time was set.
Jian Wushuang, the Nine Tribulations King, and the Azure Peak Divine Marquis chatted for a while more before leaving.
.....
In a sealed bedchamber.
Jian Wushuang sat cross-legged, the Zenith Law Sword Mantra floating before his knees.
Jian Wushuang flipped to the first page, and slowly, the world before his eyes turned into a deathly darkness once more. He continued to immerse himself in comprehending the Eternal Night sword move.
Although Jian Wushuang had only scratched the surface of this sword, its power had already become the most lethal move in Jian Wushuang's arsenal!
It could be said that Eternal Night had become one of Jian Wushuang's trump cards!
Once it was used, it would definitely shock the heavens!
Three days passed in a flash.
On the morning of the third day, the Nine Tribulations King, Jian Wushuang, and the Green Peak Divine Marquis, as well as some of the Ultimate Sovereigns who had previously submitted to the Nine Tribulations King, gathered in the main hall.
"I won't hide it from you. Our first battle is to kill the Silver Roc Ruler. If anyone is afraid and wants to leave, I won't stop you." The Nine Tribulations King stood on the throne, his hands clasped behind his back.
As soon as he finished speaking, the hall instantly became noisy. Many of the Ultimate Sovereigns' expressions changed slightly.
"You want to kill the Silver Roc Hegemon?"
"The Silver Roc Hegemon has many powerful subordinates. He has dozens of Ultimate Hegemons. Individually, they aren't very strong, but if they work together, I'm afraid …"
"That's too dangerous, isn't it?"
Immediately, a few Ultimate Sovereigns shrank back, their eyes flashing with the intention to retreat.
They had followed the Nine Tribulations King to find a backer, not to fight to the death.
"I promise you that after this battle, I don't want anything from killing the Silver Roc Ruler. You can all share it," the Nine Tribulations King continued.
After he finished speaking, the Ultimate Sovereigns who had been thinking of retreating were shocked.
"The Nine Tribulations King doesn't want anything?"
"Over the years, the Silver Roc Ruler has been the leader of a camp. He must have obtained a lot of divine herbs and divine materials. If we really kill him …"
"Wealth comes from danger!"
Immediately, the Ultimate Sovereigns were tempted. Hesitation appeared on their faces.
"I'll give you the time it takes for an incense stick to burn to consider. After that, let me know your answer."
After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.
The Ultimate Sovereigns present took a deep breath, as if they had made a decision. They said in unison, "Nine Tribulations King, we … are willing to follow you into battle!"
When the Nine Tribulations King heard this, he couldn't help but smile. He nodded and replied, "Very well."
.....
At the same time, in another plain in the central region of the Tai Luo Ruins.
This place was much livelier than the other places in the Tai Luo Ruins. Many Ultimate Sovereigns had set up camp here, creating a lively scene.
In the largest hall here, the Silver Roc Ruler was smiling warmly as he chatted with someone.
Beside him, there were two people sitting.
The person on the left wore a violet-gold crown and a nine-clawed flood dragon robe. His face was dignified, and there was a faint golden flame mark on his forehead.
If the Water Shaman Overlord were here, he would be able to recognize that this was the Third Prince of the Great Tribute Divine Nation, who was currently in the second faction in the Zeno Ruins!
The other person was dressed in red robes. He was tall and burly, and his hair was braided down his back. He sat barefoot. It was the South Vanquishing King!
"Silver Roc Ruler, why did you suddenly call me over?" The South Vanquishing King frowned and said impatiently.
The Third Prince of the Great Vanquishing Divine Nation was also the Silver Roc Ruler.
Not long ago, the two of them had received a message from the Silver Roc Ruler, telling them to gather here. He said that there was something important to discuss.
"As expected, Blood Sky Hall's people didn't come." The Silver Roc Ruler shook his head and muttered to himself as he looked at the empty seat he had prepared in advance.
He then turned to the South Vanquishing King and the Third Prince and smiled. "Gentlemen, have you heard about the Nine Tribulations King's recruitment of experts?"
"Hm?"
The South Vanquishing King raised an eyebrow. The Nine Tribulations King hadn't deliberately hidden this matter, so he naturally knew.
"I know. This isn't a secret, is it? Silver Roc, just say what you want to say. You know that I hate keeping people in suspense. "
"Calm down, Your Highness. There's something fishy about this. Let me explain."
The Silver Roc Ruler's expression was calm. He coughed and slowly said, "I know the Nine Tribulations King better than anyone else. He's always been proud and arrogant, looking down on others. As a result, he rarely travels with others, much less recruits. Thus, if he's recruiting, he can be certain that something big is about to happen. "
"Something big?" The South Vanquishing King's pupils constricted.
The Third Prince of the Great Vanquishing Divine Nation also revealed a look of interest.
"Yes." The Silver Roc Ruler nodded, then continued, "The Nine Tribulations King has been stuck in the ultimate ruler realm for dozens of chaos cycles. As a result, his status in the Divine Palace of Life has plummeted. We don't even need to think to know that he's in a hurry to break through to the autarch realm.
"A thousand years ago in Windy Yang Gorge, the Nine Tribulations King broke through our encirclement and obtained the divine medicine that increases his chances of breaking through to the autarch realm. Now that I think about it, it's about time he went back to break through to the autarch realm."
"So? If he goes back, then so be it. What does that have to do with us? Don't tell me you're still thinking of snatching that supreme divine medicine from him? "asked the South Vanquishing King.
