Chapter 772: Chapter 772: Gathering of the Greatest in History
At the South Heavenly Gate, Zhong Shan led his ministers, patiently awaiting the triumphant return of Emperor Xuan Sha.
The black hole remained for an entire day before it slowly dissipated, revealing the two peerless warriors within. Neither had perished, but their clothing was heavily damaged.
The Demon of Ten Thousand Beasts now had four arms, each holding a fierce-looking blade, exuding an aura of overwhelming malice. Surrounding Emperor Xuan Sha were not just two but three identical Skymaster Golden Wheels, radiating a terrifying murderous intent from his wolf eyes.
“Speak,” Emperor Xuan Sha demanded sternly.
The Demon of Ten Thousand Beasts took a deep breath and said, “I know you have more tricks up your sleeve, and I didn’t go all out either.”
“I know. Now explain your intentions. As a member of the wolf clan, you can’t establish an empire, yet you lead an assault on Lingxiao Heavenly Court. Why?” Emperor Xuan Sha asked coldly.
“It’s you!” the Demon of Ten Thousand Beasts replied with a wicked smile.
“What do you mean?” Emperor Xuan Sha’s eyes flashed with a cold light.
“I’m here for you, the supreme of the wolf clan. This Small Thousand World hasn’t seen a wolf ascend in thirty thousand years. The wolf clan has been in decline for that long, yet such a genius appears out of nowhere. I found you!” the Demon of Ten Thousand Beasts said with excitement.
“You still haven’t answered me. Why attack Lingxiao Heavenly Court?” Emperor Xuan Sha demanded again.
The Demon of Ten Thousand Beasts glanced at Lingxiao Heavenly Court, frowning at the sight of the overwhelming luck, then turned his gaze to Zhong Shan at the South Heavenly Gate, his eyes filled with curiosity.
“Those idiots I sent before not only lacked strength but also vision and intelligence. Such people are cannon fodder no matter where they go. However, they allowed me to gauge your capabilities. Not only are you incredibly powerful, but you also have a keen eye. This emperor of yours is very unique, uniquely strange. This proves that you are not only a ferocious person but also someone with far-reaching vision. I am now certain that you qualify to enter the ‘Shitian Sacred Realm’,” the Demon of Ten Thousand Beasts said.
“Hah, Shitian Sacred Realm? Not interested!” Emperor Xuan Sha scoffed.
“You will be,” the Demon of Ten Thousand Beasts said with a sinister smile.
Emperor Xuan Sha stared coldly at the Demon of Ten Thousand Beasts.
The Demon of Ten Thousand Beasts looked towards the South Heavenly Gate again, his brows furrowing as he observed something.
“Descendants of immortals?” his pupils contracted.
Emperor Xuan Sha’s brows furrowed slightly.
Zhong Shan, observing from afar, also heard the Demon of Ten Thousand Beasts’ words and felt his heart skip a beat, especially since the Demon of Ten Thousand Beasts was looking at his empresses.
“Emperor Xuan Sha, bring the Demon of Ten Thousand Beasts over here,” Zhong Shan called out.
The Demon of Ten Thousand Beasts gave Zhong Shan a curious look, then smiled wickedly and flew over.
He landed directly at the South Heavenly Gate, and this time, Emperor Xuan Sha did not stop him but remained vigilant, following closely.
As soon as he landed, the Demon of Ten Thousand Beasts stared intently at Bei Qingsi.
“So similar, too similar!” the Demon of Ten Thousand Beasts said, taking a deep breath.
“Demon of Ten Thousand Beasts?” Zhong Shan frowned.
The Demon of Ten Thousand Beasts turned to look at Zhong Shan, a wicked smile on his face.
“Are you Zhong Shan?” the Demon of Ten Thousand Beasts asked.
“What is your purpose here?” Zhong Shan responded directly.
“Rest assured, I am not here for you. I intend to take Emperor Xuan Sha with me,” the Demon of Ten Thousand Beasts stated solemnly.
“Hah!” Zhong Shan laughed disdainfully.
“What makes you think you can take me?” Emperor Xuan Sha sneered.
“The Shitian Sacred Realm is the holy land of the wolf clan, a place all wolves aspire to enter. However, not all wolves are allowed in. I am a Wolf Seeker of the Shitian Sacred Realm, and I have the authority to decide who can enter,” the Demon of Ten Thousand Beasts said sternly.
“And if I choose not to go?” Emperor Xuan Sha replied coldly.
“Not go? Do you understand what you’re saying? Do you plan to stay in Dazhen forever? How long do you think Dazhen will last? Even if you conquer the world and eventually open the heavens, what then? Do you know what’s waiting for you outside this Small Thousand World? The moment the heavens open, everything will turn to dust,” the Demon of Ten Thousand Beasts scoffed.
“What do you mean?” Zhong Shan asked gravely.
“What do I mean? Haha, for instance, her,” the Demon of Ten Thousand Beasts pointed at Bei Qingsi. “She is a descendant of an immortal, isn’t she? She must have inherited some kind of bloodline.”
“So what? There are many descendants of immortals,” Zhong Shan replied sternly.
“Many, you say? Haha, ordinary immortals have no influence on their descendants. There is no bloodline inheritance unless the ancestor reached the ‘Great Immortal’ realm, and even then, it’s rare. However, at higher realms, the chance of bloodline inheritance increases significantly,” the Demon of Ten Thousand Beasts explained.
“Great Immortal?” Zhong Shan’s eyes narrowed.
Mr. Corpse immediately explained, “Your Majesty, above the ‘Heavenly Immortal’ realm is the ‘Great Immortal’ realm. Generally, the ruler of a holy court must be at least at the ‘Great Immortal’ realm. Great Immortal is a critical threshold. Typically, achieving this level allows one to create supernatural abilities, with varying degrees of power. Additionally, reaching the Great Immortal realm increases the likelihood of passing down abilities to descendants.”
“You seem to know quite a lot,” the Demon of Ten Thousand Beasts remarked, giving Mr. Corpse a peculiar look.
Mr. Corpse’s eyes flashed with a cold light, prompting the Demon of Ten Thousand Beasts to withdraw his gaze with a frown.
“What awaits me outside the Small Thousand World?” Zhong Shan demanded, fixing his gaze on the Demon of Ten Thousand Beasts.
After another glance at Mr. Corpse, the Demon of Ten Thousand Beasts turned back to Zhong Shan, his face breaking into a sinister smile. “What awaits? Nearby is the Taichu Holy Court, along with numerous forces from the Great Thousand World, and countless powerful beings who left the Small Thousand World. Many of them are Great Immortal level or higher. Her ancestor is one of them. I have met her; she looks very much like you!”
“She has returned?” Zhong Shan’s brow furrowed.
“Her? It’s not just her. All the former ‘number one in the world’ figures of this Small Thousand World have returned. It’s quite lively outside the Small Thousand World. The place is teeming with powerful figures. Ten years ago, Jian Ao ascended during a time when there were few strong individuals around, which is why his ascension didn’t cause much of a stir. Had he ascended in the presence of those Great Immortals, it wouldn’t have been mere fools coming down. Even if the Great Immortals themselves couldn’t enter, their disciples certainly wouldn’t hold back,” the Demon of Ten Thousand Beasts explained.
“All those former number one figures have returned? How do they know?” Zhong Shan asked, raising an eyebrow.
“The heavens are breaking. Those immortals born and raised in the Small Thousand World can naturally sense it and are returning in droves. They just can’t enter yet. Once the heavens open, how much power will Dazhen have left to face these peerless warriors?” the Demon of Ten Thousand Beasts laughed.
Being the number one in the world is no easy feat.
Ying, the number one in the world eight thousand years ago!
Tian Shenzi, the number one in the world ten thousand years ago!
Gu Shentong, even the number one in the world a few hundred years ago!
These so-called “number one in the world” figures are anything but simple. After countless ages, do you think those who have left the Small Thousand World are any less formidable? The outside world is teeming with powerful beings, fraught with dangers at every turn! Gêtt the latest ch𝒂pters on n𝒐/velbin(.)com
“So what?” Zhong Shan replied coldly.
“So what? Do you think they’re coming back just to witness your grand opening of the heavens? Even if Dazhen manages to open the heavens, it will inevitably be torn apart!” the Demon of Ten Thousand Beasts retorted with disdain.
“Oh? Are you so sure?” Hao Meili suddenly interjected with a faint smile, as if she had a solution in mind.
The Demon of Ten Thousand Beasts turned to look at Hao Meili, his pupils narrowing before he smiled. “Your ancestor was ‘Hao Tian’, correct?”
“So what? Do you know Hao Tian?” Hao Meili asked, her brow furrowing.
“Of course, he is a remarkable figure. He has established a significant presence outside, waiting for the heavens to open so he can retrieve something from his descendants,” the Demon of Ten Thousand Beasts said.
“Him? Hmph!” Hao Meili’s eyes flashed with a cold light, clearly realizing it was the 108 Immortal Tablets.
“Moreover, Dazhen’s troubles are not limited to just opening the heavens. You have more immediate concerns,” the Demon of Ten Thousand Beasts added with a sinister smile.
Zhong Shan listened carefully. Despite the Demon of Ten Thousand Beasts’ cryptic tone, Zhong Shan could sense the truth in his words. The Demon of Ten Thousand Beasts believed Dazhen was doomed and saw no need to lie, especially given his status as a Wolf Seeker of the Shitian Sacred Realm.
“Immediate concerns?” Zhong Shan asked, frowning.
“Just two months ago, I visited the underworld. Dazhen is unique, with dual realms of yin and yang. However, I encountered a group of powerful beings, individuals who seem to be seeking you,” the Demon of Ten Thousand Beasts said.
“Oh?”
“Your empress is of the Tian family, correct?” the Demon of Ten Thousand Beasts suddenly looked at Tian Ling’er.
“So what?”
“That group of people claimed to be from the Tian family, but they have just arrived from the Great Thousand World. A group of elites from the Tian family, none of whom are weaker than I am!” the Demon of Ten Thousand Beasts explained with a smile.
People from the Tian family in the Great Thousand World? Tian Ling’er looked worried, and Tian Lao’s pupils contracted.
Zhong Shan stared at the Demon of Ten Thousand Beasts, his brow tightly furrowed, remaining silent.
The Demon of Ten Thousand Beasts glanced at Zhong Shan, then turned back to Emperor Xuan Sha with a sinister smile.
“Emperor Xuan Sha, my offer to take you to the Shitian Sacred Realm remains the best choice for you,” the Demon of Ten Thousand Beasts insisted.
“No need. I have my own plans. I’m not interested in the Shitian Sacred Realm,” Emperor Xuan Sha replied coldly.
“Don’t be so quick to refuse. I’ve already mentioned what the Shitian Sacred Realm and the wolf clan in the Great Thousand World are like during our earlier fight. I won’t force you. I’ll be leaving this Small Thousand World soon and will await you in the Great Thousand World. When the heavens open, I’ll come to ask you again. Take your time to think about it,” the Demon of Ten Thousand Beasts said with a smile.
Emperor Xuan Sha glared at the Demon of Ten Thousand Beasts.
“After the heavens open, I will return for you,” the Demon of Ten Thousand Beasts said with a wicked smile.
With that, he vanished in a flash, disappearing from everyone’s sight. His speed was extraordinarily fast, making it nearly impossible to pursue him. None of the onlookers made any attempt to chase after him.
