After obtaining the Spherical Heaven Chessboard, Shen Tian immediately felt that this trip was worth it.
But then, he thought of a serious problem.
He had been in seclusion here for 180 years, and the Supreme Sky Tree World had long since closed.
The Supreme Sky Tree World would only be open for 100 years. When the time was up, the cultivators inside would automatically be pushed out.
Then, the entire Supreme Sky Tree World disappeared into the void and would only reappear after 8,000 years.
Therefore, no one had ever stayed in the Supreme Sky Tree World.
However, Shen Tian was currently inside the Spherical Heaven Chessboard.
This place was independent of the Supreme Sky Tree World and belonged to another space.
The problem was that the Supreme Sky Tree World was closed. How was he supposed to get out?
Shen Tian asked, "Senior Immortal King, how do I leave?"
He wasn't very worried. After all, there was a peerless Immortal King here. Wouldn't it be easy for him to leave the Supreme Sky Tree World?
Immortal King Hun Tian definitely had a way!
After staying here for so long, it was time to leave.
He wondered what the situation would be like in the five regions after a hundred years.
Was the great calamity coming? Were those cute leeches doing well?
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader Inauguration Ceremony should be over!
I wonder who the new Divine Firmament Sacred Leader will be!
…
Immortal King Hun Tian shook his head. "The Supreme Sky Tree is a miraculous item of the Great Dao. It was born from the Great Dao of heaven and earth. It has been passed down since ancient times and is extremely mysterious."
"Until now, no one has been able to forcefully open the Supreme Sky Tree World."
"Furthermore, the spatial barrier here is extremely sturdy. Even This King is unable to open it."
No one knew the origins of the Supreme Sky Tree. They only knew that it had existed since the Antiquity Era.
Moreover, the Supreme Sky Tree had always appeared once every 8,000 years, and there were very few changes.
As this era was an era of great competition, the density of the Heaven and Earth Spirit Qi far exceeded that of the past, which was why the Supreme Sky Tree World had appeared 1,000 years earlier.
However, no matter how dense the Spirit Qi was, the World Tree could not be opened again in a short period of time.
Shen Tian's body stiffened, and his eyes went blank. "What? Doesn't that mean we can't get out? "
No way!
No way!
No way!
Not only did he miss out on countless opportunities, he even had to wait another 8,000 years before he could leave?
If even a Celestial King couldn't open a spatial rift, then who could?
Eight thousand years, that was eight thousand years!
By that time, I will already be old, and who knows what the five regions will be like.
What a joke!
I'm in seclusion, and I'm gone?
Shen Tian's face was full of bewilderment, and he felt like his head was buzzing.
Although it wouldn't be a problem for him to cultivate here for eight thousand years.
As long as he broke through to the Saint level, his lifespan would be extended to ten thousand years and he wouldn't die of old age.
But that would be meaningless.
At that time, he would grow old and the world would change. Who knew how many of his old friends would still exist?
For a moment, Shen Tian couldn't help but feel resentful in his heart.
Upon seeing Shen Tian's expression, Immortal King Hun Tian said, "Little Friend, don't be anxious. Although I can't make the Supreme Sky Tree appear again, I can't."
"But you can try sacrificing your Divine Will. Perhaps you can open a crack and send my little friend away."
Immortal King Hun Tian sighed heavily as if he had made a choice.
Shen Tian's body trembled slightly. His eyes were filled with gratitude as he said, "Senior, how can I do that?"
Spiritual Force was like another soul to cultivators.
Although the shattering of one's Divine Will wouldn't cause one's physical body to die, one would still suffer heavy injuries.
Immortal King Hun Tian was willing to sacrifice his Divine Will in order to send him out.
This kind of selfless dedication was really admirable.
At the side, Ye Qingcang had a strange expression.
Is it so difficult to open this space? Even an Immortal King's Divine Will has to be exhausted?
No way, no way, no way!
It can't really be that difficult, right?
Ye Qingcang couldn't help but want to give it a try, but he seemed to have thought of something and stopped.
I don't know if I can open it, but the Immortal King is definitely right!
Mmm!
I don't know, I don't know anything.
Even if I know, I can't say it. The less I know, the better it is!
Ye Qingcang rubbed his old face, which was shrouded in purple mist. He could clearly feel that it was much more swollen than before.
...
Immortal King Hun Tian waved his hand and said firmly, "I've already decided.
"Little friend, you are a dragon among men. You can bring hope to this world. So what if I give up this Divine Will?
"This can be considered the last thing I'll do for you. I hope that after you leave, you can carry forward This King's legacy."
With that, Immortal King Hun Tian didn't wait for Shen Tian to speak and directly activated his boundless divine power.
In an instant, his entire body blossomed with boundless light, and the power of the stars was like a monstrous wave that overturned heaven and earth.
Endless laws surged out, connecting with the order of the Great Dao and entering the universe.
Boom!
A huge rift was forcefully torn open in the void. The void turbulence surged continuously, and the laws of the Great Dao were extremely chaotic.
The starlight on Immortal King Hun Tian's body became incomparably dim, and even his Divine Will body became illusory as if it would disappear at any moment.
"Little friend, the passageway has been opened. Leave quickly.
"The passageway isn't stable, and I can't control its location. It will teleport at will."
Immortal King Hun Tian shouted, seemingly unable to hold on for too long.
Shen Tian took a deep breath and said solemnly, "Thank you, Senior Hun Tian!
I will never forget Senior's great kindness! "
Since Immortal King Hun Tian had already expended his Divine Will to open the rift for him, he couldn't be unreasonable anymore.
If Immortal King Hun Tian's Divine Will dissipated and he still hadn't left, wouldn't he be trapped here forever?
Shen Tian was still able to distinguish the priorities of the matter, so it wouldn't be a bad thing.
Shen Tian could only keep his gratitude in his heart. It was useless to say anything else!
He bowed respectfully to Immortal King Hun Tian, then leaped up, passed through the spatial rift, and left this world.
Ye Qingcang naturally left with Shen Tian, but before leaving, he still took a deep look at Immortal King Hun Tian.
Then, the two of them left the Spherical Heaven Chessboard Small World together.
Immortal King Hun Tian heaved a sigh of relief when he saw this.
"There shouldn't be any problems now that I've done this much, right?"
Hehe, I'm really quick-witted. I've won another wave of favorable impressions.
As expected of me!
He looked deeply in the direction that Shen Tian had disappeared in before his figure turned into specks of starlight and slowly dissipated.
...
In the outside world, in a huge valley.
There were thousands of ravines here, and mountain rocks towered like an abyss. It was located in the deepest part of the ravines.
This place was different from ordinary valleys. The mountain rocks were all blood-brown and dazzling red, as if they had been stained with blood that had yet to dry up. It was extremely horrifying.
The air was filled with a gray mist. It was cold and mournful, and its aura was terrifying.
This place didn't seem like a valley at all. It was more like an evil hell.
At the periphery of the valley, three figures were stealthily moving inside.
One of them was a man in white with dark circles under his eyes.
Faint void energy rippled out from his body, as if he had merged with the surrounding heaven and earth. He was illusory.
Beside him was a huge white turtle and a fatty in an ancient Daoist robe.
Their bodies glowed, and they had special divine patterns under their feet. They were also hidden in the void.
Thus, the auras of these three people were undetectable as they continued to advance.
These three people were Wang Shenxu, the White Thearch, and Yue Yunde.
At that moment, Yue Yunde said, "Old Wang, Old Bai, didn't we go too smoothly this time? Why didn't we encounter a single Evil Spirit child?"
He had a puzzled look on his face, feeling that something was wrong.
Their goal this time was to head to the Evil Spirit Forbidden Ground and rescue the captured Sages.
Ever since the Supreme Sky Tree had been opened 100 years ago, the mainstays of the various sacred grounds had headed to the Supreme Sky Tree World to search for fortuitous opportunities and comprehend the Great Dao.
As a result, the various sacred grounds were in a state of deficit.
During this period, the Evil Spirit Sect, which had been hiding for many years, waited for an opportunity to attack the five regions.
The vast Evil Spirit Sect army marched down, bringing disaster to the common people. Corpses were strewn everywhere, and blood flowed like rivers.
The five regions instantly fell into chaos. Countless factions were destroyed, and living beings were plunged into misery and suffering. Blood surged into the sky, dyeing the sky red.
Even the various sacred grounds were unable to avoid being attacked by the Evil Spirit Sect, and blood flowed like rivers.
One had to know that the various sacred grounds were protected by a great array formation. Although they had lost their sacred leaders and some of their grand elders, they wouldn't have been defeated so quickly.
However, the Evil Spirit Sect's army was like an extremely sharp evil weapon, charging straight into the sacred ground.
Thus, many of the weaker sacred grounds were destroyed in this battle. Countless living beings had died under the Evil Spirit Sect's blade.
This matter shook the five regions, causing countless people to tremble in fear.
They didn't know why the Evil Spirit Sect could be so rampant and ferocious. Even the sacred grounds that had existed for countless years couldn't resist them.
Even though the sacred leaders and grand elders of the various sacred grounds in the Supreme Sky Tree World quickly returned to defend, they still couldn't stop the Evil Spirit Sect army's advance.
...
Soon, everyone discovered the reason.
It turned out that the Evil Spirit Sect army had the help of the outer realm Evil Spirits!
Those were terrifying Evil Spirits from the outer realm. They were incomparably powerful and wielded terrifying killing weapons.
Most factions couldn't resist the Evil Spirit army's rampage and were slaughtered.
In the end, the Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty was alarmed.
Countless top experts attacked in an attempt to annihilate the Evil Spirit army.
However, in the end, they were still forcefully resisted by countless Evil Spirits and were still unable to annihilate them.
The Evil Spirit forces became stronger and stronger, and more and more Evil Spirits crossed realms. They were even able to contend with the Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty.
The two sides were evenly matched, and it was difficult to determine a victor.
Even the Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty couldn't forcefully suppress the Evil Spirit race. They had been fighting for 100 years, and both sides had suffered losses.
As for the other factions in the five regions, they couldn't contend against the Evil Spirit Sect at all. They could only continue to hide and rely on the Celestial Dynasty's help to survive.
The current situation was extremely bad for the five regions' cultivators.
The threat of the outer realm Evil Spirits was too great, and their strength and foundation far exceeded that of the mortal world's native cultivators.
It could be said that this was an apocalyptic calamity.
Fortunately, the Evil Spirit experts from the outer realm couldn't casually step into the mortal world. Otherwise, the five regions would have long become a dead region.
Even so, the Evil Spirit Sect was still incomparably rampant.
They continuously attacked the five regions' cultivators, suppressing and capturing them into the Evil Spirit Sect's forbidden area.
Countless factions were wiped out, their families were broken, and their families were separated. The people had no way to live!
...
When Wang Shenxu and the others found out that this was the Evil Spirit Sect's forbidden area and that a group of Heavenly Venerables and Sages were imprisoned here, they had specially come to rescue them.
Upon hearing Yue Yunde's words, the White Thearch didn't care at all. "So what?
"With me around, what's there to be afraid of?
"I can destroy those filthy Evil Spirit brats with a flick of my finger."
The White Thearch had a disdainful expression. The powerful aura emitted from his body was like raging waves that shook heaven and earth.
Wang Shenxu curled his lips. "Alright, stop bragging!"
"I still don't know that every time something happens, you old tortoise run the fastest!"
The three of them were old partners, and they were in charge of heading to the Evil Spirit Sect's forbidden area to rescue the captured cultivators of the five regions.
Especially since the three of them had similar personalities, they quickly became friends.
Previously, in the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, Wang Shenxu had mixed with these two fellows. They specialized in swindling people and were already very familiar with each other.
The White Thearch immediately jumped up. "Brat, don't think that you can look down on me just because you've become the Great Void Sacred Leader!
"When I dominated the five regions, your Master had not even been born yet!
"If you continue spouting nonsense, believe it or not, I'll bite you to death!"
The White Thearch opened his mouth, looking like he was about to bite Wang Shenxu's head at any moment.
"Do you think I'm afraid of you? Believe it or not, I'll cut you to death! "
Wang Shenxu also shouted, not afraid at all!
...
In 100 years, Wang Shenxu had already succeeded as the Great Void Sacred Leader.
In this era of great competition, Spirit Qi spewed out, and the laws were unprecedentedly clear. Thus, the growth of the younger generation was many times faster.
Many young geniuses' cultivation levels advanced by leaps and bounds, and there were many who transcended the tribulation to become Sages within 100 years.
Wang Shenxu was originally a genius with top-notch talent, and he had also consumed the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill. His cultivation had already reached the Five Tribulation True Sage level.
His battle prowess far exceeded that of ordinary True Sages and could easily suppress ordinary Great Sages.
Thus, the Great Void Sacred Leader abdicated and let Wang Shenxu lead the Great Void Sacred Ground while he hid behind the scenes as the Grand Elder.
It was not just Wang Shenxu. The White Thearch and Yue Yunde were the same. They were all Five Tribulation True Sages and had powerful battle prowess.
As they were going to the Evil Spirit Sect's forbidden ground this time, they were worried that they would attract powerful Evil Spirit experts.
Thus, the Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty had specially sent three people with powerful concealment abilities to rescue them.
Meanwhile, they would wait outside to prevent any accidents from happening.
...
"Alright, alright, stop arguing!"
What if those Evil Spirit brats are attracted to us? "
Yue Yunde stepped forward to be the peacemaker. He also felt a headache.
He always felt flustered when he moved with these two.
However, he did not really care. Although this place was strange, it was not much of a threat to the three of them who had extremely strong life-saving abilities.
After all, if they could not win, they could still run!
The three of them hid in the void and quietly moved toward the valley.
...
Soon, they arrived inside the valley.
This place was completely dark, and the evil aura was vast and endless. The aura made one shudder.
The ground was stained with blood, and broken limbs were scattered all over. The scene was shocking.
Corpses lay everywhere.
There were large holes dug out of their chests, and their eyes were about to pop out. It was obvious that they had experienced extremely terrifying pain when they were alive.
There were also a few Nascent Soul Evil Spirit disciples who were cooking scarlet beating hearts in a large pot. They were cultivating some kind of evil art.
Those were the hearts that had just been taken out. They were still beating and dripping with scarlet blood.
Those who fell into the hands of the Evil Spirit Sect basically did not have a good ending.
The Evil Spirit disciples had already lost their humanity. They had been corroded by evil aura, and their evil nature had reached the extreme. They had become monsters that only knew how to kill and wreak havoc.
Wang Shenxu and the others' expressions turned cold as they said coldly, "These damned scum! I really want to slap them to death! "
The three of them were enraged. They wished they could start a massacre and kill all these scum of the human race.
However, they quickly calmed down and suppressed the anger in their hearts.
The three of them did not forget that their mission this time was a rescue mission. If they made a move here and lured out the Evil Spirits, things would be troublesome.
They entered the void and continued deeper into the valley.
Finally, they saw the imprisoned Heavenly Venerables and Sages on a barren land.
Those people's cultivation levels had been sealed, and their bodies were riddled with injuries. It was a shocking sight and extremely miserable.
There were also many people who had their eyes dug out and their arms severed. They were still alive and wailing in pain.
The Evil Spirit Sect would not easily kill such high-level cultivators. These people were the best nutrients that could attract Evil Spirits from the outer realm to descend into this world.
However, not killing them did not mean that they would not be tortured. From the looks of it, these people had clearly been tortured.
"Let's save them first. We'll settle the score with them later!"
Wang Shenxu's eyes were burning with rage.
The White Thearch and Yue Yunde looked at each other and walked up.
However, at that moment, countless divine patterns covered the ground. They suddenly lit up and soared into the sky!
Waves of evil aura fluctuated and turned into a gray light screen, completely enveloping this area.
"Oh no!"
The expressions of the three of them changed slightly. They discovered that the space here had been completely sealed.
With their strength, they were unable to tear through the void and were completely restricted.
The White Thearch immediately shouted, "F * ck, we've fallen into a trap!"
...
In front of them, those Heavenly Venerables and Sages were just illusions that directly dissipated from heaven and earth.
The Evil Spirit experts had used these people as bait to lure them into the trap.
At that moment, the gray mist shook violently, and terrifying figures appeared within it.
They had repulsive appearances, and their bodies were pitch-black like demons. There were sharp black bone spikes on the surface of their bodies.
Their sharp fangs and scarlet pupils all emitted a ferocious aura as if they wanted to sink one's mind.
These creatures were all Evil Spirits from the outer realm.
These Evil Spirits from the outer realm had invaded from the outer realm through the world rifts. They were extremely powerful!
Among them, the weakest Evil Spirit was comparable to a Heavenly Venerable, and the stronger ones were even comparable to human Sages.
More importantly, there were many Evil Spirits, and they were densely packed, filling the entire valley.
Hundreds of Evil Spirits appeared together, emitting a thick evil aura that covered the sky. It was extremely terrifying, as if it wanted to overturn the heavens.
These Evil Spirits had terrifying auras. There were more than ten Sage Evil Spirits from the outer realm, and there was no lack of True Sages among them.
And in front of these Evil Spirits, there was a human leading them.
This person wore pitch-black evil armor, and his entire body was surrounded by black flames. His aura was violent and terrifying, as if he was an evil ghost from hell that wanted to slaughter the human world.
The pupils of Wang Shenxu and the other two constricted as their expressions changed. "The Hell Protector King?"
This person was one of the three great Evil Spirit Sect kings, the Hell Protector King!
Ever since the Lifeless King had died, there were only three great Evil Spirit Sect kings left.
Other than the mysterious and unfathomable Evil Spirit Sect Master, he had yet to show his face.
The two Evil Spirit Sect Masters and the three great Evil Spirit Sect Masters had all appeared and fought against the Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty.
Thus, Wang Shenxu and the others could naturally recognize the Hell Protector King's identity.
As the Evil Spirit Sect's King, the Hell Protector King's cultivation was extremely powerful. He was a true peak Mighty Sage.
They did not expect that they would be surrounded by the Hell Protector King this time and even enter the encirclement.
From the looks of it, the Evil Spirit Sect had long known that they were coming and had set up a trap in advance.
Wang Shenxu and the other two had solemn expressions as they sighed inwardly. They had encountered big trouble this time.
...
At that moment, the Hell Protector King took a step forward and sneered with a hoarse voice that sounded like the roar of a malicious spirit.
"I've long heard that the new Great Void Sacred Leader, Wang Shenxu, has unfathomable void techniques. He has rescued many captives and ruined the Evil Spirit Sect's plans.
"Today, I borrowed the supreme Immortal artifact, the Realm Sealing Plate, to keep you here. Be prepared!"
Wang Shenxu and the other two had used the void laws to cause trouble in the Evil Spirit Sect's forbidden area and finally caught the Hell Protector King's attention.
In order to surround and kill Wang Shenxu and the others, he did not hesitate to borrow the Realm Sealing Plate to trap them.
This was a supreme spatial Immortal artifact that could forcefully seal off the entire space and isolate the void.
Even if a Mighty Sage attacked, they would not be able to break through this seal.
It was most suitable to deal with the three of them who had mastered the power of the void!
The Hell Protector King's eyes were cruel, and pitch-black evil flames surged within them as he stared greedily at the three of them.
These damned sh * t-stirrers, let's see how you escape today!
Hehe, I've really made a killing this time!
...
These three were the most monstrous prodigies in the five regions, far surpassing those ordinary Sages.
If they were turned into nutrients and sacrificed to the Sacred Spirit, they would definitely be able to attract an unprecedentedly powerful Sacred Spirit to descend.
At that time, the Hell Protector King would also receive the Sacred Spirit's blessing, and his cultivation level would increase greatly!
