Chapter 428 The Scheme From The Upper Realm
“Shriek…” A flash of luster appeared in the sky, carrying billowing black smoke with it. The giant goshawk had flown straight toward Multi-armed King Kong.
Multi-armed King Kong had long fled Feiya City to avoid the gigantic fireball. If the fireball exploded in the sky, not only would the city burn to ashes, but it would also end up in a miserable state.
Although Multi-armed King Kong would not die, if it became severely injured in this world that lacked the universe’s spiritual power, it would be the same as dying.
Needless to say, Multi-armed King Kong acted like that because it knew Ou Yangming would not be harmed at all no matter how intense the explosion would be, so it retreated without any hesitation. If the fireball could hurt even its master, it would not dare to escape at all. When Multi-armed King Kong looked up, it noticed the goshawk. It burst out laughing when it spotted the burnt spots on the enormous bird.
The goshawk hovered above Multi-armed King Kong before it slowly descended. When they were previously in a standoff, the former feared the latter and dared not get close. This time, after suffering an injury, the goshawk landed a distance away from Multi-armed King Kong without worry. The stark contrast was clear to see.
Multi-armed King Kong smiled with squinted eyes and asked, “Hey, how did my master do?”
The goshawk glared ruthlessly at the king kong and commented, “You set me up!”
“How did I set you up?” Multi-armed King Kong stretched its body.
“Your… Master is clearly a phoenix descendant. Why didn’t you tell me?” The goshawk was indignant.
Multi-armed King Kong scorned at the bird. “Why should I have told you?”
The goshawk was stunned. It was feeling aggrieved, but it was lost for words.
“Hehe, don’t stare at me. Given your abilities, you can’t do anything to me.” Multi-armed King Kong waved its arm and said, “I suggest you think about your deeds. How dare you strike my master? Even if he’s willing to forgive you, I’m sure you know what your clan’s elders will do if they find out, right?”
The goshawk could not help but shudder with fear. It was not as frightened as when it was burned by the scorching fire earlier.
It knew Multi-armed King Kong was right. If the elders in its clan heard about it, it would be lucky if it could die in one piece.
Multi-armed King Kong laughed. “If you’d like to solve this issue, you should beg me nicely!”
The goshawk was not resigned to the outcome, but it flashed a smile and uttered, “Yes, brother. Please guide me.”
“Acknowledge him as your master like how I did. Hehe, this is a blessing in misfortune for you!” Multi-armed King Kong told the goshawk.
“How could someone like sir take me under his wings?” The goshawk rolled its eyes.
“Given your capability, you wouldn’t have been noticed by sir in the upper realm, but you stand a chance here,” Multi-armed King Kong noted coldly. “I told you the method, so it’s up to you to seize the opportunity.”
The goshawk was dumbfounded, and it had a strange look in its eyes as though it was deep in thoughts.
On a towering mountain, in a smoke-filled area, a nearly 340-meters-long centipede, which seemed to be inhaling and exhaling clouds every time it breathed, lay on the ground. If one looked from afar, one would notice that the centipede’s body had become one with the mountain as if the mountain was its world. Given its state, perhaps it could be considered to have perfected the integration of Heaven and man. All of a sudden, the ground in front of the centipede flipped over, then a tiny centipede, which was a hundredth of its size, emerged. “Sir, the lizards received information that the Heavenly Phoenix Fire was found in the lower realm.”
The massive centipede, which seemed to be sound asleep earlier, turned its body over. It appeared as if the mountain grew, and there was a change in the topography. Nevertheless, the huge change did not affect nor destroy the environment on the mountain, which was truly awe-inspiring
“The Heavenly Phoenix Fire? In the lower realm… Have the Lizards gone mad? How could they make such a mistake?”
e
“Sir, the Insects received news that the Phoenixes’ favored child encountered an interspatial disruption when it pursued the Sky-devouring Evil Remnant, so it ended up in the lower realm. The Beasts searched everywhere and seemed to have found it, so the Lizards took advantage of the once-in-a-century reorder and sent someone into the lower realm. After sacrificing an illusion clone, they received the valuable news.”
“Oh, since the Phoenixes’ child appeared in the lower realm, it’s possible that the Heavenly Phoenix Fire was led there too.” The giant centipede fell silent for a while and said, “We can’t provoke the Phoenixes and can’t go fight them recklessly, but the Heavenly Phoenix Fire doesn’t have a master. If we give it up…”
“Sir, the Lizards also said that the Heavenly Phoenix Fire is purple in color.”
“What?”
“Boom…”
Rumbling sounds were heard on the mountain. The large centipede was agitated after it heard the news and left the state of the integration of Heaven and man. It moved its body by accident and caused many rocks to fall.
Even though it immediately realized what happened, the damage was already significant.
Despite that, the monstrous centipede could not be bothered at the moment. It ordered without any hesitation, “Send some of our clan members to the lower realm with the Lizards. No matter what, we must steal the purple Heavenly Phoenix Fire!” “Yes, sir.”
Inside a substantial cave, a pool of blood was seen on the ground, causing the air to be filled with the rich and pungent smell of blood.
Countless living beings had perished in the pool of blood, every cell and flesh in their bodies became a part of the sticky pool.
The magma at the bottom of the pool of blood was transformed into the peculiar and daunting red pool through a unique method. At this moment, hundreds of figures were worshiping it around the pool. Among them were humans, fish, insects, birds, beasts, as well as some rare races.
Regardless of their identities, they worshipped the king-sized pool sincerely.
Without warning, the pool of blood surged as if a pair of invisible hands were stirring it, causing it to boil.
Many living beings around it looked at each other because they had never seen anything as strange as this. Following that, the blood in the pool rose to a certain height and stopped, revealing a human’s face.
The living beings around the pool were elated when they noticed the face, some of them even teared with joy. They did everything possible to dig a bloody pool, then they killed living beings and sent them here through a secret channel to cultivate confidants. Had they not done all of that for this very moment?
“My people, I have a task for you.”
“My God, we’ll do our best.”
A thin elder crawled forward and kowtowed by the pool. He buried his head deep into the ground in front of him and expressed with the utmost respect.
“There’s a human here who possesses my power, as well as my mortal enemy’s Heavenly Phoenix Power. Bring him here!”
Subsequently, there was a splash of blood in the pool, where every drop of blood accurately landed on the living beings. After receiving the drops of blood, they understood the mysterious creature’s request.
A human elder noted respectfully, “Yes, we’ll do our best to bring that fella to you.” “Work hard, my people. Once I obtain that person’s body, I’ll be awakened…”
Afterward, the face in the pond slowly disappeared, but the living beings around it danced as they could not control their emotions.
They had withstood immense pressure to revive the devilish god and risked everything they had including their lives. Therefore, they were overjoyed when they finally saw a silver lining.
After a long time, the elder that led everyone else waved his hand and noted, “Enough! Don’t be too happy yet; we must first complete sir’s task!”
The cave fell silent right away as everyone quietly sensed the message delivered to them through the drop of blood. However, they soon exchanged glances as they felt helpless.
‘Lower realm—that person is in the lower realm!’
If that person was in this world, even if he was hiding in an incredibly dangerous place, they would have the guts to hunt for him and would not mind if they sacrificed themselves.
On the contrary, the lower realm was an entirely different matter.
The elder pondered for some time and said, “The lower realm is a place dominated by humans. “Long Dexing, we’ll work together to open up the passage to the lower realm and will give you a treasure. Notify us once you complete the task and note that you mustn’t make any mistakes.”
A middle-aged man walked out firmly.
It was evident that the man was a headstrong person. Once he decided on something, he would not waver no matter how difficult the task would be.
Long Dexing nodded hard and responded, “Leader, please don’t worry as I won’t disappoint our master.”
The others looked at him enviously but they knew he was unquestionably the best candidate. Hence, they dared not make unreasonable demands though they were envious.
Under the elder’s command, the others worked together and built a formation after a month with help from the pond’s magnificent power.
While they were working hard, more powerhouses had snuck into the other world.
The small and the most ordinary lower realm attracted many bosses’ attention…
