The dense forest was dark and deep. There were layers upon layers of mountains and there was no trace of humans. There were only wild beasts running amok. It was a pure natural ecology that had not been destroyed.
In the deepest part of the dense forest, there was a valley. The valley was very strange and it was completely different from the dense forest.
The dense forest was full of vitality and it was lush and green. However, there was no vegetation growing in this valley. There was no sign of life. There was only a deathly silence. It was so silent that it made people's hearts palpitate. No matter how wild the wild beasts were, they did not dare to come close to the valley. Even if they came close, they immediately stopped and did not dare to enter the valley.
Suddenly, the silent valley shook as if there was an earthquake. A layer of light spread from one side of the valley to the other. Under the light, the valley suddenly changed.
Ancient and strange buildings, like inverted towers, appeared in the valley. It turned out that the originally empty and silent valley was set up with a profound and mysterious seal. At this moment, the seal was lifted and the true appearance of the valley was revealed.
The inverted towers seemed to have left the ground and were suspended in the air. There was a total of 81 towers, like stars surrounding the moon. They surrounded the inverted tower in the middle like a king.
Soon after, many figures flew out from the inverted towers. A few of the figures even gave off an extremely shocking aura fluctuation. They had all reached the level of a peerless expert. Most of the others gave off the aura fluctuation of a Nine Star Saint. It was extremely shocking.
The twelve peerless experts all entered the center of the inverted pagoda. The interior was pitch-black, and one could faintly see the outline of a throne. There seemed to be a figure sitting on it. That figure didn't look very strong, but it gave off a very tall and lofty feeling. It was like the sky, like the earth.
"Greetings, Lord Saint King." The twelve peerless experts were led by the strongest among them. Three of them were in the middle and the other eight were in the back. They were divided into three rows and knelt down on one knee to salute the figure on the throne. They were very sincere, as if they were believers.
"Mm." The vague figure on the throne only made a soft sound, but it contained an unimaginable power. It was as if the void was shaking. The twelve peerless experts were even more shocked.
After a few hundred years, the Holy King's cultivation had become even more profound, reaching an unimaginable level.
"The Battle King is dead. Go and find out who killed him." The Holy King's voice was very calm, but there was also a sense of superiority, like a god overlooking the mortal world.
"Yes." Everybody was astonished when they heard that. They knew that the Holy King wasn't in power yet. Therefore, the Holy King shouldn't have come out of seclusion and wouldn't have summoned them. But now, he had suddenly come out of seclusion and summoned them. Something big must have happened.
However, they never expected that the Lord Sacred Ruler would summon them to be related to the Battle King.
The Battle King had fallen.
They all knew of the ten kings of the Imperial Dynasty and had seen them before. They knew how strong the Battle King was, but there was actually someone who could kill the Battle King, and there was actually someone who dared to do so.
The Battle King himself was a peerless expert of the high stage of the 3rd Refinement. His strength was even stronger than ordinary high stage of the 3rd Refinement. There was no doubt that he was powerful. Moreover, he had the Five Heavenly Generals and was one of the Ten Kings of the Imperial Court. In terms of strength and authority, he was at the peak of the Deep Blue World. Someone actually dared to kill such an expert.
Although they were shocked, they still had to find out who the murderer was.
After the twelve Holy King's Heavenly Generals left, a smile flashed across the Holy King's face.
"Battle King, you were actually killed so easily. Really …" Although he didn't finish his sentence, there was a hint of mockery in his voice.
The ten kings of the Imperial Dynasty could be said to be part of the Imperial Dynasty, but they could also be considered as competitors. The Holy King was a strange person. He didn't feel sad about Zhan Wang's death, but no matter what, Zhan Wang was one of the ten kings of the Imperial Dynasty. He represented the Imperial Dynasty. Zhan Wang had been killed, so the Holy King had to take revenge.
… …
Every single one of them was like a sharp sword that pointed towards the sky.
The forest of sword stones was silent, and there was no sign of life. It was filled with an aura of extinction. When the birds flew past, their bodies trembled, and they fell down. No one knew when they had died, but when they fell, they were crushed by the formless aura.
Suddenly, the sword-like rocks emitted an extremely shocking sword intent. The sword intent soared into the sky, and the wind and clouds moved. The sharpness seemed to be able to pierce through the sky.
The aura of extinction filled the air, and it rippled endlessly.
A buzzing sound filled the sky, as if ten thousand swords were humming at the same time. Then, from below the rocks, beams of light soared into the sky. They were incomparably sharp, and the Sword Light was earth-shattering.
The Sword Light dissipated, turning into silhouettes that stood in the air. There weren't many of them, only a hundred and twelve. One of them was in the center, as if he was the king of the group. His face was ordinary, but his eyes were ice-cold, and there was a trace of the aura of extinction. It was as if everything in his line of sight would be destroyed.
This person looked like a middle-aged man, but his hair wasn't black, nor was it white. It was grey. It was a very peculiar grey that seemed to have experienced the vicissitudes of life. The robe he wore was grey as well.
Around him, there were eleven people who emitted auras that had reached the level of peerless experts. Moreover, each one of them was as sharp as a sword. The other one hundred people were all at the pinnacle of the Nine Star Saint Realm. Their auras were extremely shocking. If Chu Mu could sense it, he would be able to tell that these one hundred people in grey were at least Bright Moon Sword Saints, and some of them were at the Bright Sun Sword Saint Realm.
"The Battle King is dead. Go and investigate who killed him," the middle-aged man in grey said. His voice was hoarse, like the sound of metal clashing.
"Yes." When the others heard this, they were all shocked. They didn't expect this to happen. The Battle King was killed, but they had to obey the orders of the Sword Of Gojoseon.
This person's body was like a sword. He was the second-ranked Sword Of Gojoseon of the Ten Kings of the Imperial Court.
When the Holy King appeared, the Sword Of Gojoseon also appeared. The third-ranked King Wu, who was in the Floating Mountain Sect, also appeared. He sent out his subordinates to investigate the Battle King's death.
The Holy King came out, the Sword Of Gojoseon came out, and the King Wu came out. Naturally, the other kings also came out.
The Evil King was ranked fourth. He looked handsome and evil. He was surrounded by two extremely enchanting beauties. He hugged them in his left and right arms. He was enjoying himself very much.
"Go and find out who killed the Battle King," the Evil King smiled. The corners of the Evil King's mouth curled up into an evil smile. "Battle King, you really are a piece of trash. You were actually killed by someone. But that's good too. This is a good opportunity. Whoever kills the murderer first will be able to obtain the greatest benefits."
So it turned out that this was the reason why the nine monarchs were working so hard. Whoever could find the War Monarch's murderer and kill him would obtain the greatest benefits. This was a hidden rule.
The Evil King also came out. The fifth-ranked was the Dragon King. He wore a dragon robe and had a domineering aura.
The sixth-ranked was the Blood King. In terms of looks, he was comparable to the Evil King. However, the Evil King was handsome in an evil way, while the Blood King was handsome in a demonic way. There was a difference between the two.
The Blood King wore a blood-red robe. The patterns on his robe were like a surging blood river. It was very eerie.
The Blood King naturally had a group of peerless experts under him. There was also a group of nine-star Saints. They were all very strong and were very loyal to the Blood King.
The seventh-ranked of the Ten Kings was the Battle King. Now that the Battle King was dead, his subordinates were all dead as well. He was no longer part of the Ten Kings.
The eighth person was the Ghost King. He had a bony face and pitch-black eyes that seemed bottomless. He was astonishingly strange and cold. He was dressed in a pitch-black robe that had strange and ferocious ghost patterns on it. They were vivid and lifelike, as if they could rush out at any time to tear a person's flesh and blood.
The Ghost King's subordinates were like him. They looked very eerie and eerie. When they moved, it was like a hundred ghosts were marching in the night.
The ninth King was the Azure King, also known as the Evergreen King. It was said that he was the youngest of the Ten Kings. However, he was also very talented. His comprehension was shocking and he was vaguely known as the number one of the Ten Kings. However, his cultivation time was much shorter than the others. Even so, he became the ninth King and improved rapidly. It was very shocking.
The tenth King was originally the ninth King. He was later surpassed by the Azure King and became the Vajra King.
The Vajra King's body was like an iron tower. He walked the path of body cultivation and achieved a spiritual body. His combat strength was shocking. The reason why he was ranked tenth wasn't because he wasn't strong enough. It was because he specialized in defense and was hard to kill. However, in terms of offense, he was just barely passable.
In a battle between experts, having a strong defense was one thing, but if one's offense wasn't strong enough, it would be difficult to kill the enemy.
Because of the death of the Battle King, the other nine Kings all came out of seclusion. They had at least a few decades of seclusion cultivation. Their strength had increased to a certain extent. For the top three Kings, they had been in seclusion for hundreds of years. Their strength had increased even more.
One had to know that the Ten Kings of the Imperial Dynasty were all extremely talented. Moreover, they had killed their way through countless competitions. With enough resources and outstanding talent, there was no reason why they couldn't improve.
For example, the Battle King. If he didn't die, he could have improved to the peak of the Third Refinement within a few decades of seclusion cultivation. It wouldn't have been a problem for him to reach the peak of the Third Refinement. He even had the chance to reach the peak of the Third Refinement. Unfortunately, he died.
With the Nine Kings all out, the sky of the Deep Blue World was about to change.
