Within the Ghost City, a tree had sprouted and was growing healthily.
On Bewildering Light Island, Chen Zong held a long sword condensed from the Heart Sword Dao Will and was practicing sword techniques one by one.
This sword technique looked very simple. Stab, hack, slice, chop, flick …
This was the basic swordsmanship. It was the most basic swordsmanship that was passed down in every world in the universe. It was the basic technique of using the sword. Everyone who was determined to practice swordsmanship had to cultivate and master this swordsmanship from the beginning.
However, most people who practiced the sword would change to a more advanced sword technique after mastering the basic sword technique. After that, they would throw the basic sword technique to the back of their minds and would not review it again. This was because they felt that there was no need to do so.
Once in a battle, it was natural to use powerful sword techniques to deal with the enemy. That was the first choice.
However, Chen Zong did not. Reviewing the basic sword technique was like an instinct that was engraved in the depths of his soul. Even if he changed his body, it was still the same.
Now, Chen Zong was reviewing the basic sword technique again, calming himself down and looking for inspiration to slowly accumulate, improve, and break through himself.
In the territory of Great Change City, in the temporary mountain gate of the Asura Sect, Chen Xiu was practicing the Divine Fiend Asura Battle Technique and constantly absorbing the power of the Divine Fiend Origin Pearl.
The fourth stage of the Divine Fiend Asura Battle Technique was improving bit by bit.
The Divine Fiend Asura Battle Technique was very advanced. Every stage of improvement was very difficult.
Without the Divine Fiend Origin Pearl, it was unknown how many years it would take for Chen Xiu's cultivation to break through from the fourth stage to the fifth stage. It was unimaginable.
Now, even with the Divine Fiend Origin Pearl, it was not so easy.
Chen Xiu estimated that once he cultivated the Divine Fiend Asura Battle Technique to the fifth stage, he would surpass the nine-star level and possess the combat power of a demigod.
As for whether he would condense the Flower of Extremity, he was not sure.
The potential of this body was shocking. He really could not be sure what level of extremity it was.
In a certain void in the Profound World, a golden flame burned continuously and seemed to become more and more vigorous. It was the Heavenly God in the Palace of Providence that was favored by the will of this world.
It could be said that in this world, Heavenly God Gong was the one who had received the most providence, followed by Chen Zong and Chen Xiu.
In addition, not long ago, the three of them worked together to defeat a Ghost King, temporarily resolving a great crisis. They received more care from this side of the world, and became more sensitive to changes in Qi.
Inside Ghost City, the Ghost Mother Tree was growing healthily.
At the same time, a terrifying Ghost Hunter Will also spread out from the Ghost Mother Tree. It slowly spread out and attacked everything with malice.
This was the erosion of the world's will.
Chen Zong, Chen Xiu, and the Heavenly God Gong all faltered upon hearing this.
They felt as if there was an ominous aura permeating between heaven and earth. This ominous aura carried with it a frightening malice. Chen Zong and the others felt chills run down their spines. It was as if their minds and wills were being corroded and polluted.
There was no pollution, nor was there any erosion. However, it felt like dark clouds were looming over their heads, making them feel very uncomfortable.
Especially for those who had received more care from this side of the world, the more obvious this feeling was.
"Could it be that the Ghost Clan is making a move again?" Chen Zong couldn't help but think. With a thought, he disappeared and reappeared in Tai Luo City.
Chen Zong executed the Yin-Yang Seamless Movement Technique to its limits. Silently, he quickly headed in the direction of Ghost City.
Scout the enemy!
As soon as he entered Tai Luo City, Chen Zong acutely sensed the changes in the aura here. It was obviously much denser.
His expression was somewhat serious. The closer he got to Ghost City, the denser the sinister and domineering aura became. The light also became dimmer, and he couldn't even see his own fingers.
After passing through the walls of Ghost City, although the defensive power was more than twice as strong, Chen Zong was still not discovered.
Immediately, Chen Zong was surprised to see a huge and hideous monster with a twisted ghost face and a body full of sarcomas. It was very disgusting, but the aura it emitted was also very powerful and shocking.
"These are … ghost beasts!" Chen Zong's expression became more and more serious.
Chen Zong's memory was connected to Chen Xiu's. Therefore, what Chen Xiu knew, Chen Zong also knew.
Ghost beasts!
Even ghost beasts had appeared here.
Thinking carefully, these ghost beasts had red lights flashing between their eyebrows. They were obviously ghost beasts that were being controlled. Among the Ghost Clan, only the Ghost Beast Division could control ghost beasts.
In other words, other than the original Ghost Forest Division, the Ghost Beast Division had also entered here?
The Ghost Forest Division was already very powerful. For the Supreme Mystery Realm, it was almost impossible to resist. If the even more powerful Ghost Beast Division had also entered, it would be a disaster.
Could this be the origin of the sinister aura?
Infiltrate!
Constantly infiltrate!
Under the Yin-Yang Seamless Movement Technique, Chen Zong's aura was extremely restrained. As long as he didn't actively leak it, even the Ghost King would find it difficult to immediately discover him.
In the distance, Chen Zong saw a huge and strange tree. It was rapidly growing inch by inch into the sky, constantly growing taller and thicker.
It was a big tree with a black trunk. The trunk was already more than ten meters long, and it was still growing. There were countless scars on it, and they looked like distorted ghost faces.
Countless branches spread out in all directions. The shape was very strange, as if countless ghosts were lurking on it.
An astonishing malice was constantly spreading from the gradually growing tree. It seemed to have turned into layers of ripples that could be seen with the naked eye.
Chen Zong's pupils suddenly shrank to the size of needles.
This tree …
There seemed to be related information in the Ghost General's memory.
The Ghost Mother Tree!
It was the thing that gave birth to the Purgatory Ghost Clan. For the Ghost Clan, it was a sacred tree. It was a sacred tree that carried the great will of the Purgatory Ghost Realm. It could truly transform the surrounding environment into a Ghost Realm that was more suitable for the Ghost Clan to live and fight in.
Chen Zong finally understood where the oppressive feeling came from. It was as if dark clouds had covered the sky.
The Ghost Clan had strengthened their invasion of this world. Moreover, it was the Ghost King and Ghost Beast King of the Ghost Beast Tribe. In addition, it was the two Ghost Kings of the Ghost Forest Tribe.
In this way, the Ghost Clan had the battle strength of four Ghost Kings, which was equivalent to four peak Demigods.
Danger!
An extremely strong sense of danger suddenly swept over and filled his body. Chen Zong couldn't help but tremble.
A great crisis had descended upon the Profound Realm.
Four peak Demigod experts, tens of thousands of Ghost Clan soldiers gathered, and the appearance of the Ghost Mother Tree, a sacred object of the Ghost Clan, revealed a message.
The Ghost Clan was about to launch a large-scale attack.
Against one thousand or two thousand Ghost Clan soldiers, the Human Clan alliance might be able to resist.
But against ten or twenty thousand Ghost Clan soldiers, the three Human Clan alliances wouldn't be able to resist at all. They would be defeated at first contact. Even if Chen Zong and Chen Xiu attacked with all their might, the result would still be the same.
After all, the Ghost Clan had four peak Demigod experts.
Destroy the Ghost Mother Tree now?
Chen Zong silently calculated and deduced, but he couldn't do it.
It was equivalent to four Ghost Kings surrounding him. Once he leaked his aura, he would immediately be attacked. Other than leaving, there was nothing else he could do. After all, he wasn't strong enough.
But no matter what, he had to let the other humans know about the changes here.
Immediately, Chen Xiu came out of seclusion and found Alliance Leader Yuanji. He told him everything that Chen Zong had seen.
The entire Taiyuan Alliance's main hall was filled with coldness and solemnity.
"Lord Chen Xiu, it's not that I don't believe you, but what you said is too unbelievable." Alliance Leader Yuanji smiled bitterly.
"This is the information that Jiandi Chen Zong found out with his own eyes," Chen Xiu said unhurriedly.
Jiandi Chen Zong!
These four words carried more weight than Sword Demon Chen Xiu, at least in everyone's minds.
Moreover, such an important matter couldn't be joked about.
"Lord Chen Xiu, what do you and Lord Jiandi think?" Alliance Leader Yuanji calmed himself down and asked again.
"Retreat immediately. Withdraw from Great Change City and join forces with the Xuankong Alliance and Taiyuan Sacred Alliance," Chen Xiu said solemnly.
At this point, the three alliances had to unite and cooperate sincerely. Only by retreating to a corner would they have a slight hope of resisting the Ghost Race army.
Otherwise, they would be defeated one by one and all of them would perish.
If they joined forces, they could completely concentrate their strength and not be defeated one by one. In addition, if they retreated to a corner, they could also wait for reinforcements to arrive.
Neither Chen Zong nor Chen Xiu were tactical strategists. They just gave a pertinent suggestion.
As for whether it was feasible or not, the Taiyuan Alliance indeed had the corresponding talents to analyze it.
And the result of the analysis was approval.
After all, there was a clear gap between the strength of the humans and the Ghost Race, be it in terms of individual combat strength or numbers.
Especially now that the Ghost Race army had truly entered the Profound World, their numbers were dozens or even hundreds of times more than before. There were even Ghost King Realm experts, which was extremely terrifying.
The three alliances retreated to a corner. They had no choice but to do so.
Immediately, Grand Elder Yuankong and Grand Elder Yuanfeng of the Taiyuan Alliance moved. They went through the Void Gate of the Void Temple to Taiyuan Sacred Alliance and Xuankong Alliance to inform them of the news and explain their intentions.
Unite!
The three alliances united.
Although they didn't see it with their own eyes, the group of experts could more or less feel the aura in the air. It was even more oppressive, as if dark clouds were hanging over their heads. It was heavy and very uncomfortable.
The Xuankong Alliance didn't refuse. They agreed immediately and began to arrange for people to retreat.
As for the Taiyuan Sacred Alliance, for some reason, they didn't agree immediately. Instead, they sent people to the boundary of Grand Luo City to investigate, as if to further confirm the situation.
However, while they were investigating, they also arranged for some people to retreat first.
The direction of their retreat this time was the boundary at the very edge of the Ultimate Profundity Realm, called Tai Chi City.
Taiji City's boundary was the largest in the Profound World. Even Taixuan City couldn't compare to it. However, the Qi of Heaven and Earth in Taiji City wasn't rich enough and resources were scarce. It was the kind of place that was vast but sparsely populated.
Retreating to Taiji City was really a last resort.
