In the universe, in a region of Taihao Mountain, there was a large expanse of darkness spreading. It enveloped the entire region. The area it covered was very wide. It directly enveloped a valley that was tens of thousands of miles in radius.
Around the edges of the valley, there were pitch-black pillars covered in strange patterns. They were like totem poles, emitting an extremely gloomy, cold, and mysterious aura.
Every pillar of darkness was a hundred meters tall, pointing straight at the sky. There were a total of a hundred and eight pillars like that.
Every single pillar shone with black light, forming darkness that enveloped the surroundings. Within the valley, a hundred black-robed people stood in a circle at the centre of the valley. Every single black-robed person radiated with a powerful presence, just like the presence of a seventh realm Emperor-level expert.
A hundred and eight Emperor-level Emperors!
What a startling formation. Why had they gathered here?
The one hundred and eight black-robed experts formed hand seals, and their powerful energies began to vibrate at the same frequency. The one hundred and eight totem-like black pillars at the edge of the valley began to vibrate as well. They all released powerful energies, resonating with the pillars.
In the end, the hundred and eight streams of demonic light seemed to break through space and time. They gathered above the valley before turning into a ball of darkness. It pulsed violently, as if it was nurturing some terrifying existence.
It struck down!
The huge ball of black light fell from the sky, striking the centre of the valley. However, it did not shatter the valley. Instead, it constantly merged, intertwined, and pulsed. A terrifying presence filled with deathly stillness radiated from the violently pulsing ball of black light. Immediately, the black light receded and condensed at the edges, turning into a dark vortex that was a hundred meters wide. The presence of deathly stillness it gave off grew heavier and heavier. Wave after wave of pure deathly Qi poured out like a flood. It was extremely violent.
The hundred and eight black-robed people all circulated their energy to isolate the presence of the deathly Qi. Not only was the deathly Qi dense and pure, but it also contained powerful Laws of Death.
Immediately after, a huge head poked out from the vortex. It was a skeleton's head. It was made of countless bones in the most perfect way, like flesh and blood. The presence it exuded was extremely terrifying.
The skeleton's head, which seemed to be made of flesh and blood, wore a pure white skeleton crown. It was as if a king had descended. Its eyes burned with shocking and eerie black flames that seemed to be able to devour everything. It made one's heart palpitate.
"Who is it that has awakened this king?" The huge skeleton's head opened its mouth and let out an astonishing voice. The voice contained a terrifying power that seemed to be able to shatter everything.
The huge skeleton's head spoke in the language of the dead.
"Honorable Lord Hell Bone, we are the Avici Holy Church. We have awakened you this time to discuss a great plan," a black-robed person immediately spoke, speaking in the language of the dead..
The Netherworld belonged to the interspatial layer of the universe. It had its own unique language and civilization. However, to the powerhouses of the outer universe, the interspatial layer was not so mysterious. In fact, once one's cultivation reached the Sixth Realm and became an Emperor-level powerhouse, one would be qualified to enter the Netherworld alone.
Of course, many Emperor-level powerhouses would choose to form teams of three to five people. It was safer this way. As for the Seventh Realm Emperor-level powerhouses, most of them acted alone and entered the Netherworld.
There was no life in the Netherworld, and it was deathly still. Countless specters inhabited it, and it was very dangerous. But at the same time, there were many treasures. Many treasures could not be found in the outer universe, and they could only be found in the Netherworld.
Many powerhouses had entered the Netherworld from time to time over countless years. Over time, they naturally gained a deeper understanding of the Netherworld. The language of the dead had become a new language that many powerhouses needed to understand. It was best if they could learn it.
Fortunately, under the restrictions of the laws of the universe, it was easier to enter the interspatial layer from the outer universe. However, it was many times more difficult to enter the outer universe from the interspatial layer.
Otherwise, many Netherworld powerhouses from the interspatial layer would have stepped into the outer universe long ago. With the aggressive nature of the dead spirits, the outer universe would have been in chaos long ago.
In addition, there was also the inner universe. That was a place even more terrifying than the outer universe. Finally, the core of the universe was even more incredible. It was an extremely mysterious place. Even Seventh Realm Emperor-level powerhouses would find it difficult to step into it. The reason was unknown.
Now, the people of the Infernal Order had opened a passage from the outer universe to the interspatial layer. They had even awakened an Undead Monarch.
What kind of concept was an Undead Monarch?
Only Saint-level dead spirits were qualified to be called Monarchs.
Opening a passage and awakening a sleeping Monarch was not a small matter. It was a big matter.
When a monarch was enraged, even if it was a Saint-level expert, it would not be an exaggeration to say that millions of corpses would be piled up.
Rage!
Rage exploded. Deathly silence and murderous intent surged like a tide. It directly impacted the 108 Emperor-level powerhouses of the Infernal Order. The difference between an Emperor-level powerhouse and a Saint-level powerhouse was too great. It was so great that they could not bear it.
"Monarch, don't be angry." A loud laugh suddenly rang out. Immediately after, a black light shot down from the sky. A black-robed figure walked out from the burning black demonic flames. His aura was unusually powerful, and he actually managed to resist the terrifying attack of Sovereign Ming Gu's aura.
A Saint-level powerhouse!
The person who had come was a Saint-level powerhouse.
Only Saint-level powerhouses could treat Saint-level powerhouses as equals. Only Saint-level powerhouses had the right to talk to them face to face.
Not long after, the Saint-level powerhouse of the Infernal Order and Monarch Hell Bone finished talking. Both sides came to an agreement.
"My true body is still unable to descend into the outer universe. In that case, let my army go first," said Monarch Hell Bone. He retracted his huge head. In the next breath, a figure stepped out from the hundred-meter vortex. It was a member of the Skeleton Clan. Then, a second, a third, and a fourth followed. There was even a Skeleton Clan knight riding a skeletal beast.
In addition, there were also strange Skeleton Clan members with a pair of bone wings that looked like skeletal bats. Soon, the huge valley was filled with Skeleton Clan warriors. They stood side by side in an orderly manner, motionless like countless statues. They were silent, but in their pitch-black eye sockets, there were balls of illusory flames burning. The aura they exuded was incomparably gloomy and eerie, causing one's heart to palpitate.
"Although it's a pile of bones, it's still very scary to have so many of them in a formation." In the valley, an Emperor-level powerhouse of the Infernal Order said in a low voice.
The valley was very large. There were already more than ten thousand Skeleton Clan warriors gathered here. A low roar sounded. Immediately, the Skeleton Clan warriors moved.
The weakest level of the dead spirits in the netherworld was the Fourth Realm. This troop of over ten thousand Skeleton Clan warriors was an elite force. They were at least at the peak of the Fourth Realm. There were also many Fifth Realm and Sixth Realm powerful beings. Just as this batch of Skeleton Clan warriors stepped out of the valley, a second batch of Skeleton Clan warriors followed them into the valley through the passageway.
One batch after another. One hundred thousand, two hundred thousand …
In the entire interlayer universe, there was only one great world, and that was the Netherworld. It was incomparably vast. There were countless undead born in it, so much so that it was impossible to count.
The weakest undead were at the fourth realm. There were even more fifth realm undead everywhere. There were also many sixth and seventh realm undead. As for the eighth realm monarch-level undead, there were more of them than in the outer universe.
Once a war in the Netherworld began, it was no small matter. There were easily hundreds of thousands or even millions of undead. The casualties each time were in the tens of thousands.
Now, only two hundred thousand Skeleton Clan warriors were deployed. They could only be regarded as Monarch Hell Bone's vanguard. It was like a test.
Move out!
The two hundred thousand Skeleton Clan warriors moved out of the valley for real. They really stepped out of the valley and pushed their way out. Everywhere they passed, the aura of death spread, the silence swept, and death descended. Life was constantly devoured and extinguished, turning the place into a land of death.
In the sky above, there were people from the Infernal Order following them. They were very excited as they watched the skeleton army push their way out.
The universe was so vast. It wasn't easy to shake the entire universe and cause it to fall into chaos with just the help of the people of the Seamless Saint Religion and the Purgatory Demon Gate. Those powerful Holy Lands weren't just decorations.
Therefore, after some discussion, they finally decided to ask for external help. In other words, they wanted to attract other strong enemies and let them cause chaos in the universe. The Infernal Order could then profit from it and fish in troubled waters.
Then, what kind of external enemy should they look for?
In the universe, there were still forces like the Infernal Order and Purgatory Demon Gate. However, they were not as strong as the Infernal Order. The difference was too great. Even if they combined forces, it would not be enough. In the end, they thought of the interlayer universe.
Extradite the undead from the interlayer universe to the outer universe. As long as there were enough undead, it would be enough to cause great chaos and allow the Infernal Order to profit from it.
As for the Purgatory Demon Gate, they would act on their own.
Chaos, complete chaos. The more chaotic it was, the more benefits the Infernal Order could obtain. Only then could they become stronger and eventually dominate the outer universe, above all other forces.
Seeing the two hundred thousand Skeleton Clan warriors push their way out, killing and injuring countless people, the people of the Infernal Order did not stop them. On the contrary, they felt incomparably carefree.
Those who were killed by the Skeleton Clan would not be able to rest in peace after death. They would either turn into walking corpses or become remnant souls to wreak havoc everywhere.
Soon, under the invasion of the Skeleton Clan, one of the continents was conquered. The aura of death surged and filled the air. It covered everything in all directions, invading and devouring everything.
In the beginning, the people of the Infernal Order tried to cover it up. However, as the entire continent fell, the aura of death overflowed and it was difficult to cover it up. Finally, it was exposed. After investigation, it turned out to be an invasion of the undead. This news was spread out in the shortest time possible. It was known by the Holy Land Taihao Mountain. Naturally, the other forces of the Taihao Mountain also received the news one after another.
The invasion of the undead from the interlayer universe and the invasion of a continent was no small matter.
