In the incomparably silent pitch-black void, over a million people were waiting together, waiting for the opening of the Netherworld Profound Palace that happened once every fifty years.
As it turned out, the Five Emperors's grasp of time was very accurate. Exactly six hours after everyone arrived, a pitch-black light surged out from the main entrance of the Netherworld Profound Palace, instantly enveloping everyone within it. Furthermore, a black fog condensed on the hands of every two people who were holding hands.
This black fog gave everyone an incomparably mysterious feeling. When this black fog dissipated, a strange feeling arose in everyone's heart.
For example, Long Yu and Xi Yangwu could clearly feel that their lives had already been linked with each other's. No matter which of them died, the other would also die unconditionally. This was the so-called life and death contract!
Every Martial Cultivator who wanted to enter the Netherworld Profound Palace had to sign a life and death contract like this. There were also a small number of Martial Cultivators who did not believe it and did not hold hands with their collaborators, causing the black fog to not appear on their bodies.
A moment later, the figures of all the Martial Cultivators who had held hands flickered and disappeared almost at the same time!
There were only a few Martial Cultivators who did not hold hands, but there were still thousands of them. At this moment, all of them were left outside the Netherworld Profound Palace. They looked at each other, then at the pitch-black doors of the Netherworld Profound Palace below, and were instantly dumbfounded.
There was only one way to enter the Netherworld Profound Palace. They had missed this opportunity, so there was no chance of entering at all.
These thousands of people instantly regretted it. Some of them wanted to test what would happen if they did not hold hands, some of them held hands for a while and then let go. Just as they let go, the teleportation power of the Netherworld Profound Palace appeared …
… …
In the center of a seemingly boundless palace!
Over a million Martial Cultivators from the Emperor Path Secret Realm from the Divine Battle World were suddenly transported by a black fog, and all of them appeared in this palace. The overall environment of the palace was somewhat dark, but there was a faint dim light flickering above the palace, allowing everyone to clearly see the overall appearance of the palace.
The entire palace was squarish, but no one could see where the end of the palace was. They could only see the ceiling that was like the sky. It was made of black stone and emitted a dim light.
The ground was also made of the same kind of black stone, and right now, over a million people from Shen Wu world were stuck between two black stones of unknown size. This was the front hall of Nine Serenities Profound Palace!
The Divine Martial Emperor Conference would also be held here.
As the Five Emperors raised their hands at the front, rows of light screens rose into the air in the palace. They formed a battle zone between the two black stones in the sky and the earth.
These battle areas were used to host the Shenwu Imperial Convention. Those who wanted to compete for the position of the Five Emperors could participate in the battle. According to a series of rules, they would finally fight against the Five Emperors. If they defeated one of the Five Emperors, they might become the new Five Emperors.
Long Yu wasn't very interested in this. After all, the battle of the Five Emperors would have to wait until the end. He definitely wouldn't stay to watch the battles of the other Emperors.
After entering this palace, Long Yu and Xi Yangwu looked at each other, nodded at each other, then leapt towards a certain direction and quickly disappeared!
Their current destination was the First Nether Palace. The entrance was at the end of this hall, and it was a total of 10,000 li away from the center of the hall!
As Long Yu and Xi Yangwu moved, many other people also moved. The direction they were heading towards was the direction that Long Yu and Xi Yangwu were running towards. After all, if they wanted to go to the First Nether Palace, they had to go in this direction.
Many King Realm and Emperor Realm martial cultivators participated in the Shenwu Imperial Convention not to watch the competition for the position of the Five Emperors, but to explore the First Nether Palace and the Second Nether Palace, hoping to find some good treasures.
If they wanted to find good things, of course, the earlier they set off. Otherwise, wouldn't all the treasures that they had accumulated for fifty years be taken away by others?
Even some ordinary Emperor Realm martial cultivators who didn't have any interest in the position of the Five Emperors ran towards the First Nether Palace without hesitation. Of course, their goal was not the First Nether Palace, but the Third Nether Palace!
In the blink of an eye, countless people rose from the boundless ground of the black stones and flew towards the end between the two black stones. More than half of the millions of people had left in an instant.
In this regard, of course, the Five Emperors had expected this. However, the Five Emperors wouldn't leave so quickly. Their duty was to host the Shenwu Imperial Convention and select the cultivators who were qualified to challenge the Five Emperors.
…
As the entire front hall of the Nine Nether Palace was very spacious, after the six to seven hundred thousand people spread out, it didn't seem crowded. Even Long Yu and Xi Yangwu couldn't see anyone else.
However, trouble still came knocking on their door very quickly.
Because the place where everyone was now was a place without any rules or restrictions. Even if someone killed someone here, no one would punish the killer!
Therefore, once they left the sight of the Five Emperors, some people began to act wildly.
Two Late Emperor Realm elders from the Tai Wu Empire flew towards Long Yu and Xi Yangwu at high speed. They attacked from both sides, as if they wanted to capture the two alive.
"Xiao Wu, let's go."
Long Yu pulled Xi Yangwu up. With just a thought, the Nether Void Dragon Blade in his hand directly teleported them through the void. In the blink of an eye, they were a hundred miles away!
Teleporting a hundred miles in an instant was difficult even for Emperor Realm experts who were proficient in spatial divine runes, unless they had a Spatial Teleportation Weapon similar to the Qiankun Painting.
Of course, the powerful elders from the Tai Wu Empire naturally had a way to get their hands on such a Spatial Teleportation Weapon!
As soon as they saw Long Yu teleport away, the two Late-stage Martial Emperor Realm elders from the Tai Wu Empire took out a roulette-like battle weapon from their robes. Dense spatial divine runes gushed out from the roulette battle weapon and wrapped around the two elders. In the next moment, they were teleported to the place Long Yu had teleported to!
"Kill!"
As soon as the two appeared, they saw the 'panic-stricken' Long Yu and Xi Yangwu. Then, all kinds of divine runes and divine abilities descended, instantly smashing the two into pieces!
But this time, the two knew that they had been tricked. The two figures in front of them were only the shadows of Long Yu and Xi Yangwu, not their real bodies!
As for Long Yu and Xi Yangwu's real bodies, they had already teleported over a thousand miles away. As for how they managed to hide from the two Late Emperor Realm experts, it was not a problem for Long Yu. After all, he had mastered the Balanced Control Secret Law and had cultivated it to the fifth level …
Even the two Late Emperor Realm elders from the Tai Wu Empire only had a detection range of two thousand miles. But within two thousand miles, they could not find any trace of Long Yu and Xi Yangwu.
Under the influence of balanced control, it was as if Long Yu had disappeared from everyone's perception. Unless they had some special weapons, or spent some time to deduce him and Sunset Dance, it was as if he had disappeared from everyone's perception.
Even a peak Emperor Realm cultivator would need at least half an hour to deduce where Long Yu was. And by the time they did, Long Yu would already be gone …
Of course, there were many Combatants in the Shen Wu world, and there were many who had all kinds of techniques.
For example, when Long Yu and Xi Yangwu teleported over three thousand miles, Long Yu suddenly found that he and Xi Yangwu had directly jumped into a spatial barrier, unable to pass through it.
This was a trap!
Someone had used an even more powerful spatial divine rune technique to deduce that Long Yu would pass through here and set up an ambush here!
When they fell into the spatial trap, a male and female early-stage Emperor cultivator appeared in front of Long Yu and Xi Yangwu.
"I didn't think it would be our strongest Emperor realm champion who fell into our trap!"
The female was extremely seductive and had a butterfly tattoo on her face. She looked at Long Yu and Xi Yangwu who had fallen into the trap and was a bit surprised, but her face was filled with joy: "Old Dog, it looks like we've struck gold!"
The sloppy man in black who was referred to as "Old Dog" chuckled: "We've struck gold. Aside from the two of us, no one else could have arrived here so quickly … If that's the case, then let's finish this quickly and eat these two brats!"
"It's Tengu and Gui Die. It's said that these two have done many evil deeds in the past. Who would've thought that Martial Monarch Shenwu would come here to rob?"
Xi Yangwu frowned slightly when she saw the man and woman.
Although Xi Yangwu was strong and had won first place in the Strongest Emperor Realm, she was still a King realm cultivator. She hadn't broken through to Emperor realm yet!
Compared to Long Yu, Sunset Dancer's strength was much weaker. She couldn't help but feel nervous when she saw Tengu and Ghost Butterfly, who were both early-stage Soul Emperors.
But Long Yu didn't think so.
If he were to go all out, even a Mid-stage Emperor wouldn't be able to do anything to him, much less two Early-stage Emperors.
"Since you've come to me, don't blame me for being impolite."
The corner of Long Yu's mouth curled. Although he was trapped by the Spatial Sealing Formation, he wasn't worried at all, "I'll use you two to test out my new martial technique, Spatial Rending Slash …"
In the next moment, countless pitch-black blades shot out of Long Yu's body and spread out in all directions. This was his seventh connate combat art, Path of the Nine Underworlds!
Using pitch-black blades to pierce through space, this was an advanced combat art of the seventh level. Paired with Long Yu's tenth level synergy with the Shadow Rune and Balanced Mastery, Long Yu was able to see the weakness of the Spatial Sealing Formation … In the blink of an eye, the trap was destroyed by Long Yu!
In the next moment, a stream of light blue water in Long Yu's hand turned into a sharp blade that disappeared in a flash.
