149: Chapter 149: Necromancer? What are those outsiders doing?

Heavenly Sword Old Ancestor frowned as he listened to the Elder's report.

At this moment, he felt like the Elder was making fun of him.

Tianjian Continent was a fantasy world.

Naturally, they had never seen a profession like a Netherworld Mage from a magic-based world.

There were similar ones, for example, the Evil Corpse Sect of the Demonic Dao had secret techniques to control corpses, but there was no corresponding term for it.

Therefore, although the controlled corpses were stronger than ordinary netherworld beings, their numbers were extremely small.

They had almost no powerful combat strength.

“Yes, Lao Zu, this matter is absolutely true, I confirmed it personally.

At the same time, I also asked some friends from Xuantian Sect, and those outsiders call these white bones netherworld beings.

They are refined by a powerful existence called a Netherworld Mage.

However, netherworld beings usually seem to be much weaker than when they were alive, and they have never heard of netherworld beings that are dozens of times stronger than when they were alive.”

The Elder quickly revealed everything he knew.

“Netherworld Mage? Outsiders know about them too? Could it be that Xuantian Sect brought them again?

Also, how many of these so-called netherworld beings are there? And how many fierce beasts have they killed for you to be so anxious?”

Heavenly Sword Old Ancestor looked at the Elder with his aged eyes.

“I don't know if Xuantian Sect brought them.

But there are many of these netherworld beings, conservatively estimated to be at least tens of thousands, and all of them are above seventh-tier.

And it is said that their numbers are increasing.

If this continues, I fear the number could reach hundreds of thousands or even millions.”

The Elder said gravely.

“What? Only tens of thousands? Then what are you anxious about?

Just tens of thousands, any first-rate sect can solve it, do you need to report such a small matter to me?

I think you have too much time on your hands.”

Heavenly Sword Old Ancestor immediately cursed at the Elder.

The Elder ran away dejectedly after being scolded.

...

However, after only one day!

The Elder came again!

And this time, he brought back news that even shocked Heavenly Sword Old Ancestor.

The original tens of thousands of seventh-tier netherworld beings had now reached a terrifying hundreds of thousands.

In just one day, the number had increased more than tenfold.

And originally only a small number of sects encountered them, now disciples of all sects have encountered them.

“How did the number increase so much in just one day? Where exactly did these netherworld beings come from?”

Heavenly Sword Old Ancestor asked the Elder with a deep frown.

“Our people tracked them down and found that in the center of the entire Eternal Forest, a huge ancient bronze gate inexplicably appeared.

After these netherworld beings send the corpses of fierce beasts into it, these corpses quickly transform into new netherworld beings.

Moreover, after becoming netherworld beings, these fierce beasts become thirty to forty times stronger!

Our people tried to attack this ancient bronze gate, but found helplessly that it seemed to be illusory; besides those netherworld beings, no one else could touch it.”

The Elder gravely revealed all the information he had gathered.

It must be said that Ling Feng was very high-profile this time, so the terrifying nature of his Hells Gate was quickly discovered.

However, what if it was discovered?

Hells Gate was merely illusory and could not be attacked at all.

Nor could it be closed.

Perhaps the only thing they could do was to prevent these netherworld beings from sending the fierce beasts back!

“What? Corpses sent in quickly transform into new netherworld beings?”

Upon hearing this, Heavenly Sword Old Ancestor's expression finally changed.

The transformation speed was so fast, and they became even stronger!

If the strength of these netherworld beings became even greater, wouldn't that mean they could even transform Martial Gods into netherworld beings?

“Have you inquired with the people from Xuantian Sect? Is this another trick by those outsiders?”

Heavenly Sword Old Ancestor asked the Elder.

“I inquired, no, and I also found that their people are also studying this thing, and they even asked our people if a powerful Netherworld Mage had appeared on our Tianjian Continent!

I estimate that this is indeed not their doing.”

The Elder said helplessly.

“Not them?

Then who is it? Also, what does he want to do with so many netherworld beings? Does he intend to overthrow my Tianjian Continent?”

Heavenly Sword Old Ancestor's brows were tightly furrowed.

“Oh, there's another important thing, which is that after these netherworld beings kill fierce beasts, they seem to be able to drop divine edict stones corresponding to the beast's level.

They can even drop higher-level divine edict stones.

This situation can only occur with extremely powerful luck-type entries.

We just don't know what this level is!

But one thing is certain, it definitely surpasses gold!”

The Elder suddenly said gravely.

“What? Luck-type entries that surpass gold?

How is that possible?”

Heavenly Sword Old Ancestor was immediately shocked.

His Tianjian Continent had once seen a genius with a silver luck entry; it was rumored that this genius had a smooth journey from birth.

He eventually grew into an extremely powerful Supreme Being, ruling the Tianjian Continent for tens of thousands of years, and finally obtained a large amount of longevity-extending medicinal materials, ultimately living for over eighty thousand years before dying of old age.

And at his last moment, his strength almost broke through beyond the Supreme Being level.

This was only a silver luck-type entry, yet it already far surpassed those geniuses with gold-grade mid-tier talent.

No one dared to imagine how terrifying a gold-grade one would be.

Yet, such a powerful individual had now appeared on their Tianjian Continent.

And, it seemed that his intentions were not good.

“This matter is very serious, I will handle it personally, you quickly gather the strong cultivators of my Tianjian Holy Land and prepare for battle, we absolutely cannot let these so-called netherworld beings continue to develop!

I'm going to see that kid Heavenly Passage!”

Heavenly Sword Old Ancestor stood up and spoke gravely.

After speaking, he transformed into a sword light and escaped towards Heavenly Passage Holy Land.

...

...

And at the same time.

Xuantian Sect!

In a grand hall, a huge projection displayed a battle.

The battle showed a genius youth from Xuantian Sect fighting a netherworld being.

Their realms were similar.

But the outcome of the battle was unacceptable to everyone present.

This genius youth actually lost.

That's right, he lost.

If the strong cultivators of Xuantian Sect hadn't arrived in time to shatter that netherworld being, this genius would have died.

“What the hell is this, is it really a netherworld being? How can an ordinary netherworld being possess such powerful combat strength?”

A Martial God immediately couldn't help but exclaim.

There were ten Martial God-level strong cultivators permanently stationed at Xuantian Sect.

At this moment, all of them were present.

And at the very top was naturally Xuantian Martial God.

Looking at this scene, their thoughts were exactly the same as this cursing Martial God's.

“According to the images transmitted by our Tianjian Satellite.

Throughout the entire Eternal Forest, the number of seventh-tier netherworld beings has reached 780,000.

The number of eighth-tier netherworld beings has reached over 10,000.
