More than thirty powerful sovereigns knelt on one knee on the ground, respectfully welcoming the arrival of the king from the darkness. Regardless of whether it was Xiao Chen or the knowledgeable Sky Beyond Sky, they all felt their scalps go numb. It was easy to imagine how extraordinary this person was.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, as if they were pounding on their hearts. In the end, it was as if a huge hammer was pounding on the hearts of Ying Xiong and the others, causing them to bleed from the corner of their mouths.
That kind of powerful pressure was unbearable. It was one with the heaven and earth, synchronized with the pulse of the world, controlling the power of this world and transforming into the will of heaven and earth.
It was a very terrifying scene. The material of this heavenly palace was special, even the sovereigns couldn't break it. However, at this moment, all the palaces were jumping along with the footsteps, each time they were several feet off the ground.
The heavy aura made it hard for people to breathe.
Finally, they got closer. A slender figure in the darkness gradually revealed himself. His complexion was snow-white, almost sickly. His entire body was shrouded in thick black underworld clothes.
This was a young and beautiful woman with a full forehead, dense and long eyelashes, a straight nose, moist red lips, and snow-white teeth. The only thing that was out of place was her eyes, which were completely a deathly grey without any luster.
She wasn't a woman, but she was even more beautiful than a woman. Her soft black hair curled up like waves, her snow-white skin was delicate and tender, her slender body was slightly frail, and her black underworld clothes fluttered in the wind.
It was precisely this beautiful and sickly young woman that gave people a strong sense of oppression, making more than thirty sovereigns submit to her.
Fortunately, he had already stopped and the footsteps had stopped. Otherwise, Xiao Chen was worried that his heart would shatter and he would cough it out.
"Six, I need six sovereigns!"
Although the beautiful woman's voice was very young, it was a bone-chilling coldness, making people feel as if they were in a world of ice and snow.
This was a kind of "power" that surpassed the "power" of a half-ancestor. Every word and action echoed with the heaven and earth. Her words were the law, and her actions were the law.
The gray eyes swept over the seven people in front. The beautiful and bewitching man was as calm as a mountain, making people involuntarily feel reverence.
Sky Beyond Sky calmed down and asked, "Who are you?"
The snow-white young woman opened her red lips and said, "Risio."
Upon hearing this name, Bear's face immediately turned pale. He shouted, "Great Mighty Nether King Risio? That's impossible. He died fifty thousand years ago. You … Which Rissio are you? "
"Great Mighty Nether King Risio."
The voice was still very soft, but it was like heavenly thunder striking Ying Xiong's ears. He felt like his brain was exploding.
"How is this possible? Didn't the Great Might Netherworld King already perish? How is it possible for it to reappear in the world … "
Ying Xiong seemed to be extremely shocked and muttered to himself.
"What is the origin of King of Hades Risio?"
The outsider asked Ying Xiong softly.
It was obvious that Ying Xiong was shocked. At this moment, he was a little absent-minded and was still muttering, "This … How is this possible …"
Needless to say, Risio must have had a terrifying background fifty thousand years ago. Otherwise, Ying Xiong wouldn't have such an expression on his face. It took him a while before he gradually calmed down.
"The Great Mighty Nether King Risio was once the most terrifying existence in the Death Continent!"
Ying Xiong's first sentence was to give such an evaluation. He swallowed his saliva with difficulty and said, "Back then, my Demon Bloodline's Divine Ancestor had already reached the peak of the Sovereign Realm Ninth Heaven. He was the Supreme Demon Ancestor who had the highest chance of breaking through to the Ancestor Realm. It could be said that he could already sweep through the entire Death Continent. However … he was still … killed by the Great Mighty Nether King Risio."
The Great Mighty Nether King Risio's empty eyes had no luster. He looked at Ying Xiong coldly and said, "You are the descendant of that Demon."
"He is … the Ancestor King?"
The outsider asked.
"He is not the Ancestor King, but he is just a step away. It can even be said that he has already taken one step forward."
After Hero said these words, he stared at King of Hades Risio and said, "What do you want?"
"I need six of you Sovereign Kings to offer sacrifices to me."
He was emotionless and cold. Although he said it calmly, it made people shiver.
"You want us to offer sacrifices just because you say so?"
Although the outsider looked like a child, his temper was unyielding. He said, "So what if you have one step into the Ancestor Realm? You want us to offer sacrifices? Why don't you give it a try?"
"Whoosh …"
The outsider turned into a beam of rainbow light and rushed over. He had already seen the situation clearly. The Great Mighty Nether King had already made a decision and could not be changed. Rather than that, he might as well fight to the death.
The rainbow light that the outsider turned into was dazzling. It was extremely fast and really crashed into Risio.
"Boom …"
The entire Light Palace shook violently as if it would collapse at any time.
However, the result was shocking.
The Great Mighty Nether King did not move. He was as steady as a mountain, as if he was not affected at all.
The outsider had reached the Half Martial Ancestor Realm. His cultivation was very high and his magic power was profound. However, after the collision, his arms fell down. His bones were completely fractured. He vomited blood and fell back.
This result made people feel terrified. The terrifying attack power of a Half Martial Ancestor could not do anything to the Great Mighty Nether King at all.
Xiao Chen hurried over to support him and said, "Are you okay?"
"Swish …"
Just at this moment, the Sky Beyond Sky moved. It left an afterimage in its original position and directly appeared in front of the Great Mighty Nether King. Its palms were like blades as it chopped down.
Risio was still motionless. His deathly gray eyes were as calm as the abyss.
"Bang! Bang!" The Sky Beyond Heaven landed squarely on the Netherworld King's body. The hands that could shatter mountains and summon meteors from outer space didn't injure Riccio at all. Riccio's arms were broken from the impact and he was sent flying.
However, this time, there were still a dozen drops of bewitching red blood that fell on the Nether King's body. "Chi Chi Chi" sounds rang out continuously. The Great Mighty Nether King Risio's black underworld clothes turned into ashes.
That was actually the blood of the Ancestral Monarch on the ground in the Light Palace. The Sky Beyond Sky had stealthily absorbed some of it and landed on the Nether King's body.
The result was still terrifying and shocking. The Ancestral Monarch's blood did not harm the Great Mighty Nether King in the slightest. Under the black underworld clothes was a layer of metallic armor that flickered with black light. The Ancestral Monarch's blood only left some scratches on it.
"The Ancestral Monarch's blood? Even though it contains killing intent, it cannot harm me."
The Great Mighty Nether King Risio stretched out a jade-like finger and gently wiped a few drops of blood on the black iron armor. He let them roll between his palm and finger, unable to harm him in the slightest.
"You are indeed infinitely close to the Ancestral Monarch realm. Your other foot is about to take a step forward."
Ying Xiong stared fixedly at Risio.
"Fifty thousand years ago, if not for the master of this Heavenly Palace sealing me here, I would have long become an Ancestral Monarch!"
At this point, the Great Mighty Nether King Risio lost his indifference and calmness. He looked up to the sky and roared, "I have wasted fifty thousand years of my time!"
This kind of death roar was filled with a sinister and terrifying aura. The power of the death attribute surged violently between heaven and earth. Even the grey mist in the sky was shaken to the point of dissipating.
Ying Xiong pointed at the thirty sovereigns around him and said, "They are all dead and have become muddle-headed puppets. You … how did you come back to life?"
"Because I am the Great Mighty Nether King Risio."
Such a reason showed Risio's confidence and conceit. It also showed how powerful and terrifying he was. The truth was right in front of him. After being sealed by the Ancestral Monarch, he came back to life!
Fifty thousand years ago, there was a supreme Ancestral Monarch who walked out from the deepest part of the Death Continent. No one dared to disobey him. Those who resisted were killed, and many sovereigns were captured into the Heavenly Palace. They were sealed in the stone pillars, and their battle souls were extracted and made into Death Puppets. This was something that could not be reversed. Risio had undoubtedly broken this logic.
"How did you come back to life?"
Ying Xiong really wanted to know the truth.
"Who am I? I am Risio. How can I be like them? "
The Great Mighty Nether King pointed at the thirty sovereigns around him and said, "My battle intent is never extinguished, and my hatred never stops. Even the Ancestral Monarch cannot erase my resentment."
Speaking until here, the deathly grey pupils of the Nether King became even emptier. He laughed crazily and said, "When a supreme expert charged into the Heavenly Palace with a battle sword and fought with the Ancestral Monarch for three days and three nights, finally crushing his soul with the battle sword, I … Hahaha …"
Great Might Netherworld King Rui Xi laughed hysterically. His pale face looked particularly terrible, almost ferocious. He laughed and shouted, "It is precisely because of the hatred for him hidden in the depths of the puppet's soul that a trace of my soul consciousness was not destroyed. I swallowed the remaining half of his body and finally broke the puppet's body, completely awakening."
Devouring half of the Ancestral Monarch's body … was really too terrifying. An ordinary sovereign king would not be able to bear it!
When they saw the bewitching bloodstain and the three broken swords in the Radiant Palace Hall again, Xiao Chen and the others felt a sinister aura.
Although the Great Mighty Nether King had already regained his indifference, Xiao Chen and the others still felt that this place was incomparably gloomy. This was a crazy person. He was definitely not as calm as he looked on the surface.
"Since you have already awakened and devoured the Ancestral Monarch's flesh, why are you still making things difficult for us?"
Ying Xiong shouted.
"It is precisely because I have devoured the Ancestral Monarch's flesh that I need you as sacrifices. The essence of the Ancestral Monarch's flesh cannot completely merge with mine, so I cannot truly enter the ranks of the Ancestral Monarchs."
Speaking until here, he looked at the three old men formed by the Yin-Yang Tree and said, "Don't think that I don't know of your existence just because you are hidden in the tree. I am just rearing you like pigs. This time, I have awakened just in time to reach the number of Six Monarchs. I can start the operation! "
Everything was already very clear. The truth was almost out. The critical situation was right in front of them.
"So you have read the doomsday prophecy?"
Xiao Chen asked.
"Naturally."
"Then you must know what is written in it. Can you tell us? Let us know the reason before we die. "
"It describes your ending, that is, death, sacrifice for me!"
"What else?"
"You don't need to know anything else."
"You fool, the Ancestral Monarch is playing with you."
Ying Xiong suddenly sneered and sneered in a very disrespectful manner, "Do you really think there is someone who can foresee what will happen thirty thousand years later? It must be a smokescreen to confuse your mind. You are really incomparably stupid. Just now, we all saw through it, yet you were fooled for so many years. "
"Haha …"
Beyond Sky also laughed heartily and said, "What a joke. You are just a foolish brat, yet you are still so complacent. I think you will never be able to break through to the Ancestral Monarch realm in this lifetime."
Risio was not angry at all. His eyes were like two pitch-black caves of death. He was calm and said, "You don't need to provoke me. Even if the Ancestral Monarch is resurrected, it will not shake my state of mind. I can tell you that everything recorded in the doomsday prophecy is true. That year, the Ancestral Monarch collected the complete Oracle Bone Map and entered a mysterious place in the deepest part of the continent. He saw through the future, but because of this, he also brought about a fatal disaster. The Oracle Bone Map was scattered all over the continent before he died. As for the doomsday prophecy … I will not tell you what is recorded in it. In the next hundred years, not only will you taste the torture of death, you will also suffer the pain of not being able to obtain the shocking secret. "
At this point, there was nothing more to say. It was impossible for them to sit still and wait for death.
Beyond Sky, Beyond Sky, and Heroic Bear each held a broken sword dripping with blood. The three benevolent-looking old treants were surrounded by yin and yang energy. Black and white yin and yang fishes revolved around them. Xiao Chen re-entered the stone statue and took out the twenty-seven swords. The rainbow-colored sacred tree also shone brightly.
However, the powerful Risio already had one foot in the Ancestral Monarch realm. He was not someone that these people could contend against.
He merely pressed his palm lightly in the void, and the seven people were sent flying. Many of their bones were broken. He took off his iron cloak and covered it with the Ancestral Monarch's blood. The soaring bloody light was blocked. At the same time, he spat out a mouthful of yin energy. The main hall that was originally filled with bloody light immediately turned pitch-black and became completely gloomy.
More than thirty powerful sovereigns all entered the main hall and silently surrounded the seven people.
"Fight! We will not resign ourselves to death!"
However, everything was futile. How could the seven of them defeat more than thirty sovereigns? Moreover, the Great Might Underworld King was holding the line at the side!
After holding on for less than a quarter of an hour, the seven of them could no longer resist. They could die at any moment.
"Even if I die, I will not let you have your way!"
Heroic Bear might be thick-skinned, but he was very unyielding at the crucial moment. He wanted to detonate his soul and destroy both his body and soul. He did not want to let Risio have his way.
"Bang … …"
A soft beam of death knocked the hero flying and froze him in place.
"I will not let you destroy your own soul."
Great Might Underworld King Risio's beautiful and pale face was as calm as an ancient well.
It was impossible for him to destroy both his body and soul. After more than thirty sovereigns suppressed the seven people, Risio continuously made his move to restrain them.
More than thirty sovereigns silently retreated. The pitch-black main hall became completely quiet. It was almost deathly still.
"Begin the sacrifice for me … …"
Underworld King Risio stood there like a demon statue. The aura of death engulfed the heaven and earth.
It was miserable. First, it was the three Treant Monarchs. Then, it was Heroic Bear, Human Outsider, and Sky Beyond Sky. Their flesh and souls were burning. They converged into specks of light and enveloped Risio.
"Sacrifice, open the barrier of my soul. Break through the obstruction for me!"
The gloomy roar echoed in the flickering main hall. It spread throughout the entire heavenly palace and rushed towards the heaven and earth.
This was the most inhumane kind of torture. It was not just a single sacrifice. It had to last for an entire hundred years!
Every day, at a fixed time, they had to burn a portion of their blood soul and transform it into rays of light that condensed towards Risio to help him break through the barrier of his soul. In the remaining time, Risio would use his methods to repair their powerful sovereign souls.
Their freedom was restricted as if they were livestock in a pen. This was an unimaginable torture. It was as painful as being in purgatory.
Xiao Chen's soul had not reached the sovereign realm yet, so he did not personally experience that kind of pain. However, he could only watch helplessly as it happened. He also felt incomparably angry and tormented.
Thirty years passed in a flash. The six sovereigns had already been tortured beyond recognition. They no longer looked like humans, but they could not die even if they wanted to.
When it was the fiftieth year, even the strong six were on the verge of collapse.
Where was the hope of survival?
Were the four words in the doomsday prophecy meaningless?
On the fifty-fifth year, when the Great Might Underworld King's pale face gradually regained a trace of vitality, his body trembled.
Just behind him, at the entrance of the pitch-black main hall, stood a withered figure. It was unknown how long it had been here, but it was currently staring at him quietly.
