The calamity of the Death Crows caused the original inhabitants of the Evil Spirit Empire, the Purple-Scaled Merfolk, the Bone-Spur Porcupines, and the Wandering Goblins to flee to other nearby empires. They began to seek refuge in Xue Xin's new temple doctrine, giving up their former faith in the God of Evil.
Although it was great for the temple priests to obtain more power of faith without fighting, as the great gods did not care about the races that provided them with power of faith, the cause of the calamity in the Evil Spirit Empire had to be ascertained. After all, everything that happened in the Evil Spirit Empire was too sudden.
Moreover, no one could be sure that the calamity would not spread to them.
There were many empires bordering the Evil Spirit Empire. This was the place where the Evil Gods gathered. Most of them were lesser deities, with the occasional appearance of one or two intermediate deities, but they had almost no influence on Elysium. As for the higher deities, even on Elysium, they were as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns. There was no news of the existence of a higher deity in the Evil Spirit Empire. Therefore, they were the most oppressed of all the pantheons. They could only build shrines in remote and barren lands, and use various low-intelligence races to establish their belief system.
Among the empires bordering the Evil Spirit Empire, the Kingdom of Justice was the continent's pantheon. Although they were also lesser deities, as members of the pantheon, their original bodies were favored by the pantheon's rules, and their status was naturally incomparable to the average Evil Spirit Empire. The main race was humans.
Here, the meaning of humans was explained.
Although the humans here and the humans of the Sorcerer World had similar biological evolution forms, they were not the same biological group. The human form of address was just the first person that the ruler of the multiracial world used to address himself, similar to 'me'.
In order to investigate the cause of the calamity in the Evil Spirit Empire, the Temple of Justice sent a total of seven sacred experts to the Evil Spirit Empire.
Caw caw caw …
Flocks of Death Crows flew across the sky from time to time. The smaller ones only had a dozen or so, while the bigger ones had thousands of them. The Death Crows that were carefully selected by the Three-legged Death Crows to be part of their army were at least level-one creatures.
After all, with the power of a medium-sized world gathered, even a small portion of these omnivorous creatures could easily wreak havoc in a weak Evil Spirit Empire without the protection of a god.
"According to the wandering goblins who escaped, the disaster of the Death Crows started in the Imperial City. However, according to the strong man who escaped, the original disaster started in the coastal area. I suggest that our team of seven split into two teams and investigate the cause of the disaster."
A one-eyed Sword Saint in a gray robe said to the crowd.
The One-Eyed Sword Saint was a famous human Sanctuary Pinnacle expert in the Gongshi Empire. Some people said that he was only one step away from becoming a Sword God, and that he had even begun to comprehend the Divine Path, intending to condense the nomological Godhead and advance to a new deity.
Although killing a God to snatch a Godhead was recognized as the simplest and most practical way to advance in the Holy Realm, if one wanted to kill a God, even if it was a God who had lost his belief system, the success rate of killing a God was pitifully low, not to mention the distribution and snatching of the Godhead that many participants wanted the most.
In comparison, it was safer to submit to the Shrine and obtain the rewards from the Shrine War, as well as to comprehend and condense the Laws himself.
"Master, for such a sudden disaster to befall us, could it be a foreign Evil God that came from an intermittent vortex? After all, the forty-eight main vortexes are all under the supervision of the high priests, and the mobile vortexes haven't been here. "
The female thief's Saint realm expert's voice was solemn. Her figure was hidden in the shadows of the trees, her camouflage making her seem more natural.
In a disaster of such scale, there were terrifying creatures that had never been seen before everywhere. Even though everyone was a Saint realm expert and had just stepped into the territory of the Evil Spirit Empire, they had a premonition that this trip would be difficult.
Any mission that involved the Gods could never be safe, and they could face the fate of destruction at any time!
"Intermittent vortexes usually only appear for a short period of time, and it's unlikely that an army of such a scale would suddenly appear. Moreover, although these Death Crows can't communicate with their wills, their level of intelligence is not low. Obviously, this sudden appearance of an army must have been prepared in advance."
This was a Shrine Priest with a short staff in his hand, and he was the wisest elder among the group. Lying beside him was a strong black leopard with a pair of sharp fangs that were very eye-catching. Its pair of emerald green eyes were half-squinted, and its aura was close to nothing.
The priest's words puzzled everyone. Instead, he said with an open-minded look, "It's precisely because of this that we carried out this exploration mission. Otherwise, with the chief priest's wisdom, how could he not have guessed it? In fact, I suspect that some underground existence might have broken the seal … "
"Hiss, you mean those Ancient Gods?"
The stout Saint realm expert carrying a giant hammer was shocked to hear this.
"Who knows about the Primordial War? However, based on the battle between the Violent God Nation and the Star God more than a thousand years ago, it's not hard to imagine that more than one Primordial God was completely sealed during the Primordial War of the Primordial Gods. Some of the Primordial Gods with incredible power are still alive today, and their Divine Power is still strong."
The old priest shared his guess, but it was the One-Eyed Sword Saint who first suggested splitting up that seemed to have a different guess.
"Do you know the origin of the Demonic Pantheon?"
The old priest who was sharing his guess looked at the One-Eyed Sword Saint in astonishment. Seeing the One-Eyed Sword Saint's dark and heavy eyes, he said in disbelief, "You mean the pantheon that broke through from other dimensions? That's impossible … "
After all, even if the Ancient Gods broke the seal and were revived, they would only rejoin the pantheon. If an existence like the Chaos Demon King appeared, it would mean breaking the rules of the pantheon and establishing a new pantheon. It would be a disaster for the entire Elysium!
The previous war to establish the Demonic Pantheon had lasted for a thousand years, and hundreds of Gods had perished.
"We'll know whether it's true or not once we take a look. The other empires should be targeting the Evil Spirit Imperial Capital now. No one knows the most original changes, so I'll go alone to investigate. If I don't show up at the gathering point in seven days, it means that there must be a great secret there. Please report it to the chief priest then. "
The One-Eyed Sword Saint had absolute confidence. Although the entire Evil Spirit Empire was covered by the Death Crows, as long as he wanted to leave, no one could stop him except the great Gods.
"Hmm..."
Then, the seven Saint realm experts from the Impartial Empire split into two teams. The One-Eyed Sword Saint led a team and headed toward the barren coastal area, while the other six headed toward the Evil Spirit Imperial Capital.
Two days later.
They were only a dozen kilometers away from the Evil Spirit Imperial Capital. From afar, they could see countless black crows circling above the imperial capital. There were more than 100,000 of them. The six of them had been deep in the Evil Spirit Empire for a long time, but it was the first time they had seen such a large flock of Death Crows. There was no lack of Saint realm Death Crows among them!
"There are traces of others over there. Hmm, they're from the Qiu Yu Empire. Let's go and take a look."
Soon, there were more than 20 Saint realm experts. Not only were there from the Qiu Yu Empire, but there were also two other Saint realm experts from the Evil God Empire. Just like the six from the Impartial Empire, they looked disheveled and exhausted. They were observing the towering Evil Spirit Divine Palace that had lost the light of faith.
"Only the six of you came from the Impartial Empire?"
Although the divine systems were in conflict, it was only on a larger scale. For these low-level existences who were busy with their own divine systems, there was basically no difference. They were all just trying to advance to a higher level.
"Hmm."
After the old priest responded, he asked, "You guys haven't gone in yet?"
"No, there are many Saint realm Death Crows here. In the past, the Evil Spirit Imperial Capital had gathered at least 10 Saint realm existences for a long time. Now, even the divine palace's light is gone. We have no chance at all with just our strength. Let's wait for the people from the other empires."
Just like that, the six Saint realm experts from the Impartial Empire merged into this Saint realm team and waited for an opportunity.
On the other side...
After the One-Eyed Sword Saint passed through the Cuilan Bay Mountain Range alone, he gradually approached the place where Grimm had blasted through the earth vein according to the information he had obtained.
"That place is …"
A column of thick smoke rose into the sky. Although the earth vein Grimm had blasted through had not completely triggered a lava eruption, it had already caused thick smoke to rise, attracting the One-Eyed Sword Saint's attention.
Naturally, the One-Eyed Sword Saint, who had realized that there were no traces of a volcano, approached.
Half an hourglass!
The scene before him made the One-Eyed Sword Saint's entire body stiffen on the spot. Even his breathing became unstable. His hand had already unsheathed the longsword on the back of his hand.
On the ground, in front of an unknown lava cave, thick black smoke billowed out.
At this moment, a one-meter-tall Death Crow had its back facing the One-Eyed Sword Saint. It was pecking at a human corpse at its feet, tasting its innards. The One-Eyed Sword Saint couldn't be more familiar with the corpse's face. It was actually … his own master, the Dragon Slayer Sword Saint!
More than two thousand years ago, his master was just like the One-Eyed Sword Saint now. During the period when his master was building his reputation, the number of adult Saint realm dragons that had died by his master's sword reached more than ten. They were the truly peerless experts of the various empires along the coast of the Elysium Continent. Compared to him, the One-Eyed Sword Saint was still one step behind, and that was to use the same strength to create a legend and then retire.
Similarly, for the sake of ascending to the divine realm, his master had chosen to join the Temple of Feather Prison. It had been more than a thousand years since then, and he had never appeared in public again.
Now that they had met again, it was here!
The One-Eyed Sword Saint, on the other hand, had already become a corpse under the claws of a Death Crow.
Slowly, the Death Crow that had its back facing the One-Eyed Sword Saint turned its head. Its eyes that were burning with black flames looked over. In an instant, the chilling energy of death felt as if it was in hell.
"Here comes another one. Although it's impossible to disturb the great Tower of Annihilation Stigmata Sorcerer, I still can't let you live. Caw, caw, your corpse should taste pretty good."
This Death Crow was one of the dozens of Death Crows that Grimm had brought back from the distant Ancestral Spring World. Now, it had become one of the top three experts in the new Death Crow World, guarding Grimm while he waited for the Dimensional Sphere to recover.
As for the remaining two top-level Death Crows, one was guarding the Death Crow World, while the other was in the Evil Spirit Empire, which was the base of the Armageddon Legion that Grimm was about to build. Now, many Saints from various empires were trying to break into and explore this place!
…
A few days later.
The place where the One-Eyed Sword Saint and the six-man team from the Impartial Empire had agreed to meet was still empty. No one could return to the Impartial Empire alive.
