Although Chen Luoyang's doppelganger, the Half Sea Taoist, did not approach, he could feel the power of Xu Peng's White Bones from afar.
First of all, the eerie White Bones itself was extremely strong. It could even block a frontal attack from the Empress for Xu Peng.
Although the Bone Dragon was trembling from the attacks and its joints were cracking, the Empress could not destroy it in a short period of time.
Even if the Empress could destroy it, it would take a long time to do so.
On the other hand, if a living creature came into contact with the White Bones, its vitality would be sucked away instantly and assimilated by the White Bones, ending up as a skeleton.
However, the Empress's cultivation was extremely high. She was proficient in the mysteries of time and space. Her changes were endless, so Xu Peng's White Bones could not do anything to her. Instead, it was suppressed by her.
Chen Luoyang could not judge whether a person who had been assimilated by Xu Peng's White Bones could recover if they also became a skeleton.
Or would the new White Bones become a part of the God of the Underworld's power and be controlled by it instead?
If the Empress was not so strong, she might not have been able to force Xu Peng to reveal his secret.
As soon as the God of the Underworld appeared, he encountered a strong enemy like the Empress. He was really unlucky and could not display his full power.
However, the appearance of the God of the Underworld was enough to make the spectators tremble.
Chen Luoyang was not surprised.
Compared to Han Mei's Calamity, Xu Peng's performance was not surprising.
After all, when Han Mei was in the Fifteenth Level, she made things difficult for Wei Chaoran, who was in the Eighteenth Level. She turned the latter's misfortune into her own luck and used Xu Peng to avert danger.
In comparison, Han Mei's Misfortune was more mysterious. Sometimes, it was even more heaven-defying and amazing.
Xu Peng's White Bones was more stable, and the manifestation of power was more direct. He could control it more freely and accurately.
However, what concerned Chen Luoyang the most was the "Ancient Corpse" in the Innate Tomb.
The ancient Emperor Xi only suppressed and sealed it, but could not destroy it completely.
The power unleashed by the entire Connate Tomb's reverse collapse could only destroy the Goumang's remains that the Ancient Corpse had transformed into. It was equivalent to shattering the latter's outer shell.
The sturdiness of these "ancient corpses" was really shocking.
An immortal body.
Chen Luoyang believed that this was the embodiment of the power of the Ancient Corpse.
By relying on Goumang's slough, or rather, Goumang's manifestation, it could be said to be indestructible and impervious to all tribulations.
Then, would Calamity, White Bone, and Great Plague, who were all Lords of the Nether World, be as terrifying as the Ancient Corpse if they were given enough time to grow?
Or even stronger?
Was this the reason why the Nether Lord, the Demon Lord, and the others were afraid of the God of the Netherworld?
He had great potential, and at the same time … he could grow extremely quickly, turning his potential into strength in a very short period of time.
At the same time, it seemed impossible to completely destroy it.
Even if it was destroyed for a moment, it would be reborn and use a new body to descend into the world.
It was probably because of this reason that the ancient Emperor Xi only suppressed and sealed the Ancient Corpse, which was equivalent to imprisoning it and preventing it from reincarnating into the world.
The Demon Lord, Daoist Lord, and the others could be ignored. But the Nether Lord and the Yellow Springs Realm were not on the same side as the God of the Netherworld. Instead, they seemed to be mortal enemies. What was the relationship between the two?
Would the growth of the God of the Netherworld be accompanied by the extinction of all living beings? Would it mean a more brutal massacre than the Blood River and the other demonic sects?
Many thoughts flashed through Chen Luoyang's mind.
In the end, it came down to what the Nether Lord had said in the past.
There were as many as four active Gods of the Netherworld in the mortal world.
Back then, it was said to be "in the mortal world" and "active," which did not include the Ancient Corpse sealed in the Connate Tomb.
If the "Great Plague" was still around and didn't just leave behind a single eye, then there were three "Great Plague", "Calamity", and "White Bones".
Where was the last one?
Many thoughts flashed through Chen Luoyang's mind. He looked at the distant battlefield in silence.
What should he think of the White Bone Dragon King, Xu Peng?
The battle in the distance was gradually reaching its climax.
Azure Dragon Island Master and Xu Peng were suppressed by the Empress, and gradually had no strength to take care of Han Zheng and the other Azure Dragon Island disciples.
Although the Empress did not deliberately target them, she did not care about avoiding them.
In this way, the aftermath of the battle between the two sides was difficult for Han Zheng and the others to bear, and they were surrounded by danger for a while.
As Chen Luoyang was thinking, his heart suddenly moved slightly, and his eyes turned to the other side.
And the Empress and the others did not ignore their surroundings during the battle, and immediately sensed it.
A wisp of ethereal and sharp white Qi suddenly appeared.
Chen Luoyang couldn't help but be astounded once more when he saw this.
Just like how Xu Peng's appearance was unexpected, this time, an unexpected acquaintance had intervened.
That white Qi was clearly North Dark Sword Qi.
Blood River died, Tianhe was seriously injured, and now, North Dark Sword Master Zhu Ju was the number one swordsman of the mortal world.
But what was he doing here?
Chen Luoyang was surprised.
Last time in the battle between Tianhe and Blood River, he used the opportunity of Zhu Ju returning the "Life" Heavenly Book to ask Zhu Ju to intercept Blood River Ancestor.
In the end, Blood River Ancestor and Zhu Ju were both injured, and then faced the siege of the East Zhou Empress, Green Bull Temple Master, and the Ancient God Jiang Yi, they embarked on the road of defeat.
Because of the "Life" Heavenly Book, although Zhu Ju was also injured, it was not a serious problem. After returning the Heavenly Book to Chen Luoyang, he floated away.
Since then, as far as Chen Luoyang knew, Zhu Ju had continued to live in seclusion.
The storm in the mortal world was surging, but he ignored it all.
Who would have thought that he would suddenly appear here today.
This time, it was not his arrangement.
Chen Luoyang's Taoist Half Sea doppelganger did not move his expression, quietly watching the changes.
As a result, he saw the white North Dark Sword Qi slash the vast purple Qi around the East Zhou Empress.
Zhu Ju, is he helping Azure Dragon Island?
Chen Luoyang frowned secretly, feeling very strange.
He had not heard that Zhu Ju had any friendship with Azure Dragon Island.
Even when Zhu Ju had just risen, he had fought with Azure Dragon Island Master.
To a certain extent, Azure Dragon Island Master was part of the past achievements of the North Dark Sword Master.
The relationship between the two sides was not harmonious.
In terms of friendship, perhaps only when Chen Luoyang came to the Mortal World from the Divine Land, North Dark Sword Master and Azure Dragon Island Master had fought side by side for him, fighting against the abbot of West Paradise, Emperor Chu, Fusang Island Master, and others.
Both sides had different purposes. Azure Dragon Island Master wanted to take credit from the Supreme Being, while North Dark Sword Master Zhu Ju just wanted to borrow the "Life" Heavenly Book from Chen Luoyang.
After the war, both sides went their own ways and did not meet again.
Zhu Ju's sudden help today not only surprised Chen Luoyang, but also Azure Dragon Island Master himself.
The East Zhou side was even more puzzled.
It was expected that Dragon King Xu Peng would involve Azure Dragon Island Master.
Even when the relationship between Xu Peng and the God of the Underworld was exposed, Azure Dragon Island Master was a little reluctant.
But why did the North Dark Sword Master intervene now?
Strictly speaking, they were both giants, but the North Dark Sword Master was more of a deterrent than Azure Dragon Island Master.
Not only because in terms of individual strength, the North Dark Sword Master Zhu Ju was superior, but also because he had no ties and was alone.
Fortunately, he was not bloodthirsty. Otherwise, if such a giant expert went on a killing spree, the consequences would be devastating for the large East Zhou.
"Greetings, North Dark Sword Master. Please understand that Azure Dragon Island Master Xu Peng is not from the Yellow Springs Realm, but the legendary God of the Underworld," Cheng Shuzhi said loudly.
Everyone saw the Bone Dragon flying in the sky and Xu Peng attacking.
Zhu Ju was no exception.
But he did not seem to care, and his attack was even more determined than Azure Dragon Island Master, as if he was not affected at all.
Cheng Shuzhi was more willing to believe that the North Dark Sword Master Zhu Ju was young and unsociable, and cultivated alone. Although he was a giant, he did not know much about the God of the Underworld.
In fact, even he had only heard Emperor Zhou mention it occasionally, and his understanding was limited.
It was not surprising that Zhu Ju, who was a loner, did not know anything.
Therefore, Cheng Shuzhi reminded, "The Supreme has ordered that anyone who finds the God of the Underworld, capture him on sight, and if he resists, kill him on the spot. Please reconsider."
Chen Luoyang shook his head in his heart.
Zhu Ju might really not know anything about the God of the Underworld, and the Demon Venerable's order.
But since he made his move today, even if he understood the situation now, he would not change his decision.
Previously, for the sake of his friendship with Ying Qingqing, he dared to risk the Demon Venerable's anger to plead for her. Now, he probably would not change his mind just because of the Demon Venerable's order.
This was how people were. Compared to life and death, they cared more about the persistence in their hearts.
What Chen Luoyang was interested in was what he was going to persist on today.
As expected, Zhu Ju turned a deaf ear to Cheng Shuzhi's words.
Although the East Zhou Empress was surprised by Zhu Ju's sudden intervention, she did not stop attacking either.
She did not take Cheng Shuzhi's words to heart.
She wanted to take down Xu Peng today, and it had nothing to do with whether he was the God of the Underworld or not.
However, with the help of Sword Master Zhu Ju of the North Sea, Xu Peng and Azure Dragon Island Master immediately escaped danger.
Zhu Ju was alone with a sword, but his strength was no weaker than the East Zhou Empress's.
Although the Empress had all kinds of precious treasures with her, it became difficult for her to deal with these three opponents.
She could still advance and retreat as she pleased, but she could not continue to detain Xu Peng and Azure Dragon Island Master. Thus, the other party regained a chance to escape.
Xu Peng was willing to pay the price of injury to be the first to fight for a chance to escape.
It looked like he abandoned Zhu Ju and Island Master, but actually, it was because he believed that he was the source of the conflict. Without him, it would not be difficult for Island Master and Zhu Ju to escape.
Xu Peng escaped, and Azure Dragon Island Master's expression was complicated.
She knew that he did not escape back to Azure Dragon Island.
Today, even if Xu Peng did not die at the Empress's hands, her Azure Dragon Island would lose this heir forever.
Xu Peng did not return to the island for the sake of his sect.
And she could not go find this disciple.
It would be fine if they did not meet, but if they met in public, they would probably have to meet on the battlefield. Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain to a supreme being.
Azure Dragon Island Master was vexed, but at the moment, he could only suppress it. Similarly, he retreated as he fought. Under Zhu Ju's cover, he first led the other Azure Dragon Island disciples to escape from the East Zhou Empress.
In the distance, Chen Luoyang's clone, Daoist Half Sea, had already left.
He headed in the direction that Xu Peng had disappeared.
