237: The murderous intent surges, the Yiming Divine Turtle!

Above the starry firmament.

As this earth-shattering battle concluded, the world-destroying phenomena gradually faded away.

However, the monstrous pressure still lingering in the starry sky, along with the bloody phenomena caused by the fall of the Great Emperors, all served as a reminder to everyone that everything that had happened before was not a dream.

Even so, countless Cultivators in the Myriad Domains of the Heavens still appeared as if they had just awakened from a deep dream, their movements unsteady as they walked.

In this relatively declining era, Great Emperor-level powerhouses were already rare.

This was even more true for those above the Third-Rank Great Emperor, let alone the Heavenly Mandate Great Emperor, or the legendary Heavenly Emperors.

Yet today, they had thoroughly witnessed the confrontation between such existences, and even their fall and dissipation.

What left the deepest impression on them was naturally the Sword Cultivator Divine Ability of the Xuanjun Heavenly Emperor, which far exceeded the world's understanding.

A single sword strike annihilated boundless galaxies and executed two supreme Great Emperors.

Such a demeanor was truly worthy of being called a top Sword Cultivator in the Myriad Domains of the Heavens.

Today's events also rang an alarm for many ancient forces hidden in the shadows.

The Space-Time Forbidden Zone might not be as declined and decayed as it appeared on the surface.

On the contrary, it was very likely that they remained powerful.

The foundation they currently hid was far from what the rumors suggested.

Of course, no one believed that the Space-Time Forbidden Zone would ultimately be able to dominate alone.

Many existences among the ancient forces had connections to the Immortal Domain.

Such proud forces would naturally not sit idly by and watch the Space-Time Forbidden Zone become an existence that loomed over their heads once again.

...

Meanwhile, in the Nine Underworld Secret Realm.

Although Kong Wu Dao did not know the specific events occurring in the outside world, the Space-Time Forbidden Zone Old Ancestors had revealed some information to him.

At the same time, they told Kong Wu Dao to proceed boldly and confidently.

He needed to have no reservations; even if the sky were to collapse, the Space-Time Forbidden Zone would hold it up.

"Kong Wu Dao?"

At this moment, Nangong Xinyue, who was playing a game of chess with Kong Wu Dao, suddenly asked in confusion.

"It is nothing."

Kong Wu Dao shook his head, slightly restraining his smile, and refocused his attention on the chessboard.

She knew better than anyone what kind of personality Kong Wu Dao had.

The corners of this guy's mouth had just curled up inexplicably.

Without a doubt, a bloody storm controlled by Kong Wu Dao was about to sweep through the Nine Underworld Secret Realm.

...

On the other side.

Inside a great hall in the Nine Underworld Secret Realm.

"I believe everyone witnessed Kong Wu Dao's terrifying strength some time ago, right?"

"Now, Kong Wu Dao has been crowned with the title of Young Chief."

"If he is allowed to continue growing, without a doubt, he will become our strongest opponent in the future battle for the Heavenly Mandate."

Wu Huang, sitting at the head of the table, took a sip of hot tea.

With a meaningful smile on his lips, he looked at the other young figures sitting before him.

There were six people in total, including top ancient Prodigies like Chu Jingxian.

Listening to Wu Huang's words, the six frowned, their expressions grave, and they did not respond.

"Wu Huang, we are all sensible people; there is no need to beat around the bush."

"You invited us here because you want to plot a scheme specifically targeting Kong Wu Dao, right?"

An ancient Prodigy with a fiery temper spoke up: "Why go through so much trouble? Just choose a suitable place, lure Kong Wu Dao over, and then suppress and kill him!"

"Heh."

The moment his voice fell, another sneer rang out.

Feng Xiwu looked mocking.

"Don't forget, it's not just Kong Wu Dao who is Heaven-Defyingly powerful."

"The Imperial Children of the Space-Time Forbidden Zone are also no simple characters."

"And there is that woman in the white dress by Kong Wu Dao's side, whose strength is also not to be underestimated; I heard she can easily suppress and kill over a dozen ancient Vicious Beasts in the God King Realm."

As soon as these words were spoken, the other two ancient Prodigies who wanted to agree were choked into silence.

What she said was true.

Not only did the Imperial Children of the Space-Time Forbidden Zone possess monstrous combat power, but their strength had also already reached the God King Realm.

If they wanted to suppress and kill Kong Wu Dao, clashing with these Imperial Children was inevitable.

"Rest assured, it is not just us; Brother Mo Xie will also assist us at that time."

At this moment, Wu Huang suddenly spoke again: "Moreover, you only need to hold off the others; Kong Wu Dao can be left for me to deal with."

Upon hearing this, many Prodigies looked at each other, their expressions filled with confusion and shock.

They knew this guy Mo Xie.

Although he had been completely unilaterally crushed by Kong Wu Dao at the banquet, discerning people knew that this guy was extraordinary.

After all, just the fact that he was a descendant of an ordinary force, yet could casually pull out two top-tier Supreme Artifacts, already counted as extraordinary.

But what shocked them was not just that Mo Xie had also infiltrated the Nine Underworld Secret Realm, but that Wu Huang actually dared to claim he would deal with Kong Wu Dao alone.

Everyone knew exactly how strong Kong Wu Dao's strength was.

Any one of them facing Kong Wu Dao alone would basically only end up being suppressed.

Was Wu Huang afraid of following in Long Aoyu's footsteps?

After all, before fighting Kong Wu Dao, Long Aoyu had also claimed to have a 100% chance of suppressing Kong Wu Dao.

And what was the outcome?

He was beaten into nothingness by the other party with a few punches!

"I have my own measure."

Sensing everyone's suspicious gazes, Wu Huang did not explain further and picked up his teacup to sip tea again.

Seeing him acting so pretentious, everyone curled their lips slightly.

Now that they had the intention to unite, they were destined to face Kong Wu Dao.

Since someone had to hold Kong Wu Dao back, if Wu Huang wanted to be the first bird, then let him be.

Soon, after reaching a consensus, the ancient Prodigies of several major forces resumed a detailed discussion on how to kill Kong Wu Dao.

The Nine Underworld Secret Realm thus fell into temporary calm.

...

A few days passed in the blink of an eye.

Suddenly.

Rumble!!

From beyond the horizon of the Nine Underworld Secret Realm, terrifying sounds like mountains shaking and the ground quaking arrived.

Countless dense, abyss-like cracks slowly spread at the end of the horizon, turning into bottomless fissures.

Radiant light soared into the sky, and the divine light runes gushing out from within illuminated the heavens and earth in all directions with brilliance.

"A secret treasure has emerged!?"

Not only were countless Cultivators who had descended into the Nine Underworld Secret Realm attracted and rushing toward the place of the anomaly, but even many ancient powerhouses among the native inhabitants were awakened by this terrifying change.

Countless people looked up at the sky in horror.

They saw the end of the horizon suddenly collapse.

A pitch-black mountain, completely out of place with the surrounding surging flames, suddenly rose from the ground.

Rumble!!

What was even more unbelievable was that the huge pitch-black mountain seemed to be carried by some kind of creature, moving slowly and visibly!!

With the pitch-black mountain as the center, an indescribable, eerie aura permeated out, causing the Spiritual Plants and vegetation in that area to dissolve and wither at a speed visible to the naked eye!!

"Could this be..."

An ancient existence in the Nine Underworld Secret Realm had their pupils shrink to needles, trembling as they lost their voice.

"The Yi Ming Divine Tortoise recorded in the mythological ancient books!?"
