The old Sword Immortal died. His body began to turn into starlight in the air and gradually dissipated.
A thousand years of swordsmanship cultivation should have made his body more indestructible than the hardest metal.
But Heavenly Demon Ye was too powerful. He injured the old Sword Immortal in the battle, and at the last moment, the Heavenly Demon Tribulation fell one after another. The destructive power completely destroyed his opponent's vitality and body.
The old Sword Immortal relied on his pure cultivation and forced himself to hang on until the Empress of East Zhou finished suppressing the Tribulation Power.
Unfortunately, he could not confirm Heavenly Demon Ye's life or death. After discussing with the others about the crusade against the new Heavenly Demon Chen Luoyang, his last breath finally dissipated.
"Crane Deity" Li Hushuang and the East Zhou Empress Xu Ruotong had almost grown up under the old Sword Immortal's watch. At this moment, seeing their elders die, they were filled with sorrow.
Li Hushuang forced herself to stay awake. She waved her sleeves and collected the scattered starlight. Then she said to Xu Ruotong, "I will send you back to East Zhou first. After everything is over, I will send Elder Yun's body back to the Heavenly River."
The battle of Sunset Mountain had ended, but for the Red Dust World, the chaos might just have begun.
If the Empress's intuition was right, the Red Dust World would soon welcome a new generation of Heavenly Demons. They might not be as crazy as the old Heavenly Demon, but they were more vicious.
They had the same desire for domination as Heavenly Demon Ye. They were not as bloodthirsty, but more ambitious.
Different from the Supreme Martial Artists who ruled without doing anything most of the time, the Demon Emperor, the successor of the Supreme Martial Artist, had a much stronger desire for control.
In today's battle, he and Heavenly Demon Ye had both been injured. This might be the last chance of the Righteous Path.
If he succeeded in devouring Heavenly Demon Ye's cultivation power, the time it would take for him to heal would be greatly reduced. For those who did not want to submit to his ambition, every second counted.
"It's not convenient for me to fight now." The East Zhou Empress sighed. Her voice was slightly hoarse.
Li Hushuang moved. There was a gentle airflow between her palms, holding up the light ball made of many talismans. "I understand. You just need to focus on recuperating. But you need to pay attention to the Demon Emperor and Heavenly Demon Emperor's movements, so that we can react in time."
The Empress's aura gradually became slightly chaotic again. "We can only do our best. The tribulation power they have now is not as obvious as before. As time passes, it will probably become fainter and fainter."
"It's fine as long as you try your best. You should take care of yourself first. If you can gain something out of this misfortune and gain an opportunity to advance further, it will be a happy thing." Li Hushuang comforted him.
"Very difficult." After the Empress answered, she did not make another sound. It was clear that she was completely focused on nursing her injuries and dispelling the tribulation power.
Li Hushuang did not say anything to disturb her. She carried the ball of light all the way back to the Dongzhou Dynasty.
However, she soon received news that she couldn't help but disturb the Empress.
"Xu Peng suddenly arrived at Skyseal City, intending to barge in. Fortunately, Swordmaster Darknorth chased after him, forcing him to leave. Skyseal City is now safe." Li Hushuang said in a low voice, "The city was in chaos for a while and then calmed down. But very soon, the city was in chaos again. The source … seems to be another Netherworld God!"
The Empress's voice came from the ball of light. "Was it brought by Xu Peng, or did Xu Peng come for this?"
Li Hushuang answered, "I can't be sure at the moment, but the aura that the power exuded is similar to Xu Peng's' White Bones', so it should be the Netherworld God without a doubt.
Its power caused a widespread plague in the city, causing countless people to fall ill. Fortunately, there are no deaths, but it is extremely difficult to quell. The city has already allocated a large amount of medicine, but the effect is minimal.
The strange thing is that the common people are fine, but the strong cultivators are falling ill in large numbers, and there are even Martial Saints among them! "
"Such precise control must be done by someone. It seems that it is indeed the Netherworld God. Not harming the common people may be out of personal principles, or there may be other motives." The Empress's voice was weak, but her tone was firm. "Let's return quickly. I'll have to trouble you to take it down as soon as possible."
Li Hushuang did not refuse.
This matter was indeed strange. At such a critical moment, the Netherworld God just had to come out and cause trouble.
She could almost predict that if the matter was not resolved for a long time, the Demon Emperor would definitely make a fuss.
Since the Netherworld God appeared in East Zhou, he would definitely take the opportunity to point his spear at East Zhou.
Even if he did not recover, the Demon Emperor could legitimately command others to attack the East Zhou Dynasty, implicating East Zhou and the Netherworld God together.
When it came to the Netherworld God, the Supreme Martial Artist might intervene, and no one dared to oppose him.
Therefore, the East Zhou Dynasty had to deal with the Netherworld God internally as soon as possible, so as not to give Chen Luoyang any excuse.
Once it became a situation where the whole world attacked East Zhou, it would be difficult to reverse the situation.
Even if they could not take down the East Zhou Dynasty, Chen Luoyang would also gain precious time to suppress the divine tribulation, heal his injuries, and even devour and refine Heavenly Demon Ye's cultivation.
On the other hand, the Empress of East Zhou would be affected, and it would be difficult for her to recover.
In this way, the battle did not need to be fought, and the result was already in front of them.
Li Hushuang took Xu Ruotong back to the East Zhou Dynasty's capital, Tian Feng, as soon as possible.
Before they entered the city, they received more detailed news, which was worse than they had expected.
Inside Tianfeng City, there was even more chaos.
"Rain Master" Cheng Shuzhi was busy raining rain on the whole city to suppress the plague. The Wei Family took advantage of the chaos caused by the Netherworld God to try to escape from Tianfeng City.
The masters of the East Zhou Dynasty royal family fought with the Wei Family who wanted to escape, and the two sides were in a stalemate.
After Wei Ling broke through to Level-18, her strength in East Zhou was second only to the Empress and Rain Master, and the other masters of the royal family were no match for her.
However, the Old Duke of East Zhou, Xu Qizhen, controlled the power of the Tianfeng City Formation and could suppress Wei Ling, so the Wei Family could not rush out of the city for a while.
However, with Wei Ling, Wei Chaoran, and Wei Zheng, the three masters among the Martial Saints, the current strength of East Zhou was also stretched.
The fierce battle between the two sides made the already anxious Tianfeng City even more chaotic.
The Wei Family also spread rumors in the city, announcing that the Empress had died under the hands of Heavenly Demon Ye, so the people in the city and the situation became even more chaotic.
Li Hushuang was about to enter the city when she suddenly felt something.
There seemed to be a strange aura in Tianfeng City.
"… There are two Gods of the Netherworld?" Although the Empress was weak, her perception of Tianfeng City was more acute. "But why do these two Gods of the Netherworld seem to have the same special power? Can there be two Gods of the Netherworld that are exactly the same? "
Li Hushuang also did not understand, so she hurried into the city.
In the city, Chen Luoyang's Taoist Half Sea's clone was also surprised at this moment.
He had used his master's mouth to reveal to Xu Peng that there might be Gods of the Netherworld in East Zhou. Xu Peng would naturally take advantage of the opportunity when the Empress was out fighting Heavenly Demon Ye and come to Tianfeng City to investigate.
Taoist Half Sea intercepted the trouble caused by Xu Peng and Sword Master North Sea, and then slipped into Tianfeng City.
Then, he used his Great Plague Divine Eye to exert its power and impersonate the God of the Netherworld, causing a second wave of chaos in the city.
In recent years, as the cultivation of his main body and clone continued to rise, his understanding of the Great Plague Divine Eye also became deeper and deeper, and the power he could exert became stronger and stronger.
Now, he could already control the Great Plague Divine Eye to produce many more subtle changes and make use of it.
A plague that wiped out most of the warriors of East Zhou was thus launched.
At that time, the number one expert of East Zhou in Tianfeng City, Uncle Cheng, arrived and was forced to stabilize the situation in the city.
The Wei Clan immediately seized such a heaven-sent opportunity. On one hand, they shouted that the Empress had fallen in the hands of the Heavenly Demon, and on the other hand, they shouted that the East Zhou Royal Family had colluded with the God of the Netherworld and allowed him to harm all living beings.
Within East Zhou, it was a mess of war.
Taoist Half Sea took the opportunity to look for what he wanted.
When he killed the acting sect leader of North Sea's Yanran Mountain, the "King of Fuyao" Han Shang, Chen Luoyang had obtained a Thousand Soul Pearl.
This treasure was very likely the reason why Han Shang had taken the risk to invade East Zhou.
At that time, Han Shang's goal was not to defeat the Empress of East Zhou or to conquer the territory of East Zhou, but to attack Tianfeng City.
Chen Luoyang suspected that there was something in the city that Han Shang wanted.
Han Shang valued this treasure so much that he did not hesitate to offend the Empress of East Zhou. It was most likely because this treasure could greatly increase his strength. Combined with Chen Luoyang's own analysis and research of the Thousand Soul Pearl, he suspected that Han Shang had placed his hopes on this treasure to help him break through to the twentieth realm, the All-Knowing Realm.
This time, Taoist Half Sea took advantage of the chaos to sneak into Tianfeng City. Other than the Great Plague Divine Eye, he also brought the Thousand Soul Pearl with him.
As expected, the moment he entered Tianfeng City, the Thousand Soul Pearl reacted.
Taking advantage of the time when the East Zhou Royal Family and the Wei Clan were at war, Chen Luoyang's Taoist Half Sea avatar successfully snuck into a secret vault in the palace.
After carefully examining it, he focused on a bronze artifact.
In the center of the bronze plate, there was a circular indentation. It looked similar in size to the Thousand Soul Pearl.
Silence felt the real connection between the two. Chen Luoyang nodded to himself.
This is it.
Taoist Half Sea's avatar did not immediately combine the Thousand Soul Pearl with the bronze plate. Instead, he kept the two items separately.
After taking the bronze plate, Taoist Half Sea left.
Through the senses of his main body, he could faintly sense that the Empress of East Zhou was returning to the imperial capital, Tianfeng City.
The Empress's physical condition was not much better than his main body's. This time, she would definitely have someone to help protect her.
Taoist Half Sea did not plan to directly clash with her. Instead, he rushed out of the city.
But just as he left the palace, he suddenly felt a strange change in the Great Plague Divine Eye in his hand.
On the surface of the irregularly shaped crystal, the five-colored light flashed more and more frequently. It vibrated continuously, as if it could break free from Taoist Half Sea's control and fly away on its own.
Chen Luoyang's heart trembled slightly. Then, he realized that the plague in the city had changed. It was beyond his and the Great Plague Divine Eye's control, and it had a tendency to spread to the ordinary people.
Chen Luoyang carefully felt that there was suddenly an additional aura in the city.
It was as if it had brought disaster to the world.
The aura of the God of the Underworld!
Moreover, the power of the Heavenly God seemed to be the same as the Great Plague Divine Eye. It was also a "great plague"!
Other than the Half Sea avatar that was pretending to be the God of the Underworld, there was actually another God of the Underworld in Tianfeng City.
