1078: What a waste! What a waste!

Outside Wanshou City.

“Excellent.”

“Safely arrived.”

The moment Wang Chen passed through the cross-realm teleportation channel, his vast Mental Energy burst forth, sweeping in all directions.

Upon discovering that only Qing Yunzi and others were outside, a smile involuntarily appeared on his face.

This was the best-case scenario: the Dead Spirit Race had made no unusual moves, and Wanshou City was still in the hands of the Netherworld Human Clan.

However…

“Hmm?”

Just as he was about to greet Qing Yunzi and the others, Wang Chen noticed something amiss.

“What is this?”

He looked up at the pitch-black moon in the sky, his eyes narrowing involuntarily.

With his strength, he instantly perceived that the current situation in the Netherworld was not right.

That black moon was shrouded in extremely evil power, and the evil Qi in the world had also become several times denser.

The glorious sun still hung in the sky, but the surrounding environment, apart from the sky's color, was almost identical to the previous nights in the Netherworld.

“Has the Dead Spirit Race already begun to act?”

“Did they shatter the barrier between the inner and outer layers of the world, allowing them to fuse?”

“How did these guys manage to achieve such a feat?”

Wang Chen mused inwardly.

To shatter the barrier between the two layers of the world, in his opinion, the Dead Spirit Race temporarily did not possess such power.

This was not something a Rank Nine could accomplish, as it subtly touched upon the scope of a world's Origin power, achievable only by a Rank Ten.

“It seems that, due to an unknown reason, the Dead Spirit Race successfully resurrected their Mother Goddess in the past few days.”

Wang Chen came up with a conjecture.

“Fellow Daoist Wang Chen, congratulations on your safe return.”

At this moment, Qing Yunzi led the crowd to greet him.

He glanced around and asked with some hesitation, “Is it only Fellow Daoist Wang Chen today?”

“Senior Qing Yunzi, I came ahead as a scout.

Soon, the reinforcements my Dragon Kingdom prepared for the Netherworld Human Clan will be teleported over.”

Wang Chen replied with a smile.

“So that’s how it is.”

Qing Yunzi breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, then realized his question was too direct, feeling a bit embarrassed on his old face, and gave an awkward smile.

The Mother Goddess of the Undead's resurrection had caused a great upheaval in the world, placing immense psychological pressure on him.

However, Wang Chen did not mind this.

“Senior Qing Yunzi, has the Mother Goddess of the Dead Spirit Race been successfully resurrected?”

He casually sent a signal indicating safety into the cross-realm teleportation channel, then flew to the side with Qing Yunzi and the others.

“Indeed!”

Qing Yunzi nodded with a bitter smile, saying with a tone of helplessness, “The current anomaly is indeed related to the Mother Goddess of the Dead Spirit Race.

This old man never imagined that High Priest Tiemoluo, the Great Priest of the Dead Spirit Race, would be so deranged!”

“Oh?”

Wang Chen raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, looking over in surprise.

“High Priest Tiemoluo used over ten million ordinary Dead Spirits as sacrifices for an incredibly massive blood sacrifice ritual, completely fulfilling the Mother Goddess's return plan, which was previously still lacking a little.”

“The Mother Goddess of the Undead broke through the barrier between the inner and outer layers of the world yesterday, polluting the moon and causing the two layers of the world to fuse.”

Qing Yunzi did not keep them in suspense, directly informing Wang Chen of the intelligence they had just recently detected.

“Hiss!”

Upon hearing this, Wang Chen couldn't help but gasp.

Ruthless!

Too ruthless!

He never would have thought that the Dead Spirit Race would create such a grand spectacle!

Using ten million Dead Spirits for a blood sacrifice was simply deranged!

However, after the shock, Wang Chen couldn't help but feel heartbroken.

What a waste!

Such a waste!

Ten million Dead Spirits, even if they were just ordinary Dead Spirits, represented an incredibly vast amount of experience points, enough to raise the average Rank of a full-strength legion by one Rank.

And now, they had actually been annihilated by the Dead Spirit Race themselves!

Pain!

Such pain!

Wang Chen felt as though he had suffered a great loss at this moment.

“Fellow Daoist, do not worry.

The Mother Goddess of the Undead should be in a difficult situation now.”

Seeing Wang Chen's expression, Qing Yunzi couldn't help but misunderstand, thinking Wang Chen was worried about the Mother Goddess of the Undead.

He quickly said, “After the great upheaval yesterday, the Dead Spirit Race abandoned most of their gathering places in the southeast, northwest, and now they are holed up in the central region, merely deploying troops and strengthening their defenses, without any intention of actively launching an offensive.”

“Judging from the current situation, this old man believes that the Mother Goddess of the Undead's resurrection should be imperfect.

After displaying her great power to break through the barrier between the inner and outer layers of the world and pollute the moon, she should be unable to use her power for a short period.”

“Mmm.”

Wang Chen nodded.

He understood what Qing Yunzi was thinking but did not intend to explain anything.

After all, feeling heartbroken that over ten million Dead Spirits did not die by one's own hand…

What kind of maniac is that?!!

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! !

At this moment, a visible ripple suddenly spread from the cross-realm teleportation channel.

Immediately after, the gigantic thousand-meter-tall cross-realm teleportation gate glowed brightly, and the soldiers of the expeditionary army, led by their respective Commanders, walked out in an orderly queue.

Well-equipped, advancing in an orderly fashion, with soldiers whose auras were at least equivalent to Rank Four cultivators, gradually began to line up in the open space outside the teleportation gate.

“Hiss!”

Upon seeing this scene, Qing Yunzi and the others all gasped, their expressions becoming incredibly solemn.

Although they all possessed Rank Nine strength, and among the troops emerging from the teleportation gate, the highest strength was only equivalent to Peak Rank Eight.

However, the fierce aura emanating from the troops made everyone present, including Qing Yunzi, feel incredibly startled.

The combined forces of the emerging troops definitely possessed the power to threaten them.

Moreover, as more and more of the expeditionary army's advance units gathered and lined up by the teleportation gate, Qing Yunzi and the others' eyelids couldn't help but twitch.

Rank Four cultivators, in their respective forces, were already Inner Sect Disciples, considered the backbone of their power.

And now, more than one hundred thousand of them had appeared before them.

Such a large number of Rank Four cultivators could not be gathered even if a Holy Land were scoured three feet deep.

When finally, all twenty elite legions had been teleported and lined up neatly by the teleportation gate, Qing Yunzi and the others were at a loss for words.

Such a large number of cultivators forming a force could easily reduce a Holy Land to ashes.

Especially the formation they subtly adopted made Qing Yunzi, the foremost person of the Netherworld Human Clan, feel his heart pound with fear.

He felt that if he were to fall into it, even if he used all his trump cards, he would only meet his demise.

“Everyone, this is just the advance team of my Dragon Kingdom's aid to the Netherworld.

In the following days, forty more legions, over four hundred thousand people, will arrive successively.”

Wang Chen spoke at this moment, introducing them.

“What? This is just the early stage…”

Qing Yunzi and the others were stunned upon hearing this, their expressions becoming even more spectacular.
