Chapter 462: Arrival of Evil Spirits, Great Tribulation Of The Five Regions!

After obtaining the Spherical Heaven Chessboard, Shen Tian immediately felt that this wasn’t a loss.

But then, he thought of a serious problem.

After being in seclusion there for 180 years, the Supreme Sky Tree World had long closed.

The Supreme Sky Tree World would only open for 100 years. By then, the cultivators inside would be automatically pushed out.

Then, the entire Supreme Sky Tree World would disappear into the void and would only appear after another 8,000 years.

As a result, no one had ever remained stuck in the Supreme Sky Tree World.

However, Shen Tian was currently inside the Spherical Heaven Chessboard.

This was a separate dimension from the Supreme Sky Tree World.

The problem was that the Supreme Sky Tree World was closed. How could he get out?

Shen Tian inquired, “Senior Immortal King, how should I leave?”

He wasn’t very worried. After all, there was a peerless Immortal King here. Wouldn’t it be easy to leave the Supreme Sky Tree World?

Immortal King Hun Tian definitely had a way!

After staying here for so long, it was time to leave.

He did not know what was going on in the five regions after 100 years.

Was the great calamity coming? Was his flock doing well?

The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader succession ceremony should have long been over!

Who would the new Divine Firmament Sacred Leader be!

…

Immortal King Hun Tian shook his head. “The Supreme Sky Tree is a mystical item of the Heavenly Dao. It was born from the great Dao of heaven and earth, and it has been passed down since ancient times. It’s extremely mysterious.”

“Until now, no one has been able to forcibly open the Supreme Sky Tree World.

“Furthermore, the spatial barrier here is extremely sturdy. Even This King cannot open it.”

No one knew the origins of the Supreme Sky Tree, only that it had existed since the Antiquity Era.

Moreover, the Supreme Sky Tree would always appear once every 8,000 years, and this rarely changed.

Due to the fact that this era was a time of great competition and the density of the Heaven and Earth spiritual energies far exceeded that of the past, the Supreme Sky Tree World had been born 1,000 years earlier.

However, no matter how dense the Spirit Qi was, it would not allow the Supreme Sky Tree World to open again in a short period.

Shen Tian’s body stiffened, and his eyes widened in shock. “Huh? Doesn’t that mean that I can’t get out?”

No way!

No way!

No way!

It is one thing to miss out on countless opportunities and providence, but to wait another 8,000 years before leaving?

If even an Immortal Kings can’t open this space, then who can?

,000 years, that’s 8,000 years!

When that time comes, I will be old, and who knows what the five regions will be like!?

I just closed my eyes for a while, and just like that, I am stuck here?

Shen Tian was at a loss and felt his head buzzing.

Even though it would not be a problem for him to cultivate here for 8,000 years, he would be able to live for 10,000 years without dying of old age as long as he could become a Sage.

But it was meaningless.

At that time, he would be old, and the world would have long changed. He did not know how many of his old friends of providence would be left.

Shen Tian couldn’t help but feel resentful in his heart.

Upon seeing Shen Tian’s appearance, Immortal King Hun Tian said, “Young friend, there is no need to be anxious. Although I am unable to make the Supreme Sky Tree reappear, I can try to sacrifice the power of my Spiritual Will. Perhaps I can open a crack and send you away.”

Immortal King Hun Tian sighed heavily and seemed to have made a decision.

Shen Tian’s body trembled slightly as gratitude appeared in his eyes. “Senior, how can I make you do this?”

Spiritual Will was like another soul to cultivators.

Although shattering one’s Spiritual Will would not result in death, one would still suffer serious injuries.

Now, Immortal King Hun Tian was willing to give up his Spiritual Will just to send him out.

Such selfless dedication was truly admirable.

Ye Qincang looked confused.

Is it so difficult to open up this space that even an Immortal King has to exhaust his full strength?

No way, no way, no way!

Could it really be that difficult?

Ye Qincang wanted to give it a try, but he thought of something and stopped.

I don’t know if I can open it up, but the Immortal King is definitely right!

Hmm!

I don’t know. I don’t know anything.

Even if I know, I will also not say it out aloud. The less I say, the better!

Ye Qincang rubbed his swollen face.

…

Immortal King Hun Tian waved his hand and said firmly, “This King has already decided.

“Little friend, you are a dragon among men. You can bring hope to this world, so what if I give up my Spiritual Will?

“This is also the last thing I can do for you. I hope that you can bring This King’s legacy to greater heights after you leave.”

Immortal King Hun Tian didn’t wait for Shen Tian to speak and immediately circulated his boundless divine power.

In an instant, his entire body erupted with boundless light. The power of the stars was like a monstrous wave that covered heaven and the earth.

Endless laws surged out, linking up with the Heavenly Dao and entering the universe.

Boom!

An enormous rift was forcefully torn open in space, and spatial turbulence surged without end while the laws of the Heavenly Dao became extremely chaotic.

On the other hand, the starlight on the surface of Immortal King Hun Tian’s body had become extremely dim, and even his body had become ethereal as if it would vanish at any moment.

“Young friend, the passage has been opened. Leave quickly. The passageway isn’t stable, and This King has no control over its location. You will be randomly teleported to a location,” Immortal King Hun Tian shouted as if he couldn’t hold on for much longer.

Shen Tian took a deep breath and said solemnly, “Thank you, Senior Hun Tian! I will never forget your kindness!”

Since Immortal King Hun Tian had already used his Spiritual Will to open the crack in this place for him, he didn’t want to be unreasonable.

If the Immortal King’s Spiritual Will was dispersed and he had yet to leave, wouldn’t he be completely trapped here?

Shen Tian could tell the severity of the matter, and it wouldn’t be a bad thing.

Shen Tian could only place his gratitude in his heart. It was useless to say anything else!

He bowed respectfully toward Immortal King Hun Tian, and he then leaped out, passing through the void crack and leaving this realm.

Ye Qincang left with Shen Tian, but he still gave Immortal King Hun Tian a deep look. Then, the two of them left the Spherical Heaven Chessboard world together.

Immortal King Hun Tian heaved a slight sigh of relief when he saw this scene.

“After acting to such an extent, there shouldn’t be any problems!”

Hehe, This King is really quick-witted. I managed to gain a good impression again. As expected of me!

He gazed deeply in the direction where Shen Tian had vanished, and his figure transformed into specks of starlight that slowly dissipated.

In the outside world, in a huge valley…

There were thousands of ravines here, and the mountain rocks were towering, seeming like an abyss, located in the depths of endless ravines.

This place was unlike ordinary valleys. The rocks here were scarlet red and dazzling, and they seemed as if they were tainted by blood that hadn’t dried up, causing it to look extremely horrifying.

The air was suffused with grey mist, making it feel ghastly and miserable.

This place did not resemble a valley at all. Instead, it resembled an evil hell.

Outside the valley, three figures were sneaking inside.

One of them was a white-clothed man with dark eye circles.

The faint power of the void emanated from the surface of his body. It was as if he had become one with the surrounding heaven and earth, seeming very ethereal.

Beside him were a huge white tortoise and a fatty in an ancient Taoist robe.

Their bodies glowed with light as they stepped on special divine patterns, similarly hiding in the void.

Thus, the auras of these three people were almost undetectable as they advanced continuously.

These three people were Wang Shenxu, the White Thearch, and Yue Yunde.

At that moment, Yue Yunde said, “Old Wang, Old White, isn’t it too smooth this time? Why aren’t there any Evil Spirit cubs?”

He looked puzzled. Something was wrong.

Their goal was to head to the Evil Spirit Forbidden Ground to rescue the captured Sages.

A hundred years after the opening of the Supreme Sky Tree World, the powerhouses of the various sacred grounds had headed to the Supreme Sky Tree World to search for opportunities and comprehend the Heavenly Dao.

As a result, all the sacred grounds had been running out of manpower.

And during that period, the Evil Spirit Sect, which had been hidden for many years, had taken the chance to attack the five regions.

The Evil Spirit army had marched straight down and wreaked havoc. Corpses were strewn everywhere, and blood flowed like rivers.

The five regions had immediately fallen into chaos. Countless forces had been destroyed, lives were lost, and blood qi could be seen rushing into the sky, dying the sky red.

Even the sacred grounds had been unable to avoid being attacked by the Evil Spirit Sect, causing rivers of blood to flow.

It had to be known that each sacred ground had a great array formation protecting them. Although they lacked their sacred leaders and a portion of the grand elders, they would not be defeated so quickly.

However, the Evil Spirit army had been like a sharp evil weapon that charged into the sacred grounds.

Thus, many of the weaker sacred grounds had been annihilated in this battle. Countless living beings had been reduced to dead souls under the Evil Spirit Sect’s blade.

This matter had shaken the five regions, causing countless people to feel fearful.

They did not know how the Evil Spirit Sect could be so rampant and ferocious. Even the sacred grounds that had been around for countless years could not stand against them.

Even though the sacred leaders and grand elders of the various sacred grounds in the Supreme Sky Tree World had quickly retreated to defend themselves, they were still unable to stop the Evil Spirit army’s advance.

…

Soon, everyone had discovered the reason.

It turned out that the Evil Spirit army had the help of the outer realm’s Evil Spirits!

These terrifying Evil Spirits were from beyond the heavens. They were incomparably powerful and also wielded terrifying killing weapons.

Most factions had been unable to withstand the rampage of the Evil Spirit army and had been slaughtered.

Finally, the Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty had acted, and countless top experts had attacked in an attempt to wipe out the Evil Spirit army.

In the end, the countless Evil Spirits had forcefully resisted their attacks, so they were unable to annihilate them.

The Evil Spirits grew stronger and stronger, and more and more Evil Spirits crossed the boundaries. In fact, they could now even contend against the Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty.

Their strength was equally matched, and it was difficult for the two parties to determine the victor.

Even the Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty was unable to forcefully suppress the Evil Spirit race. After fighting for 100 years, both sides had suffered heavy losses.

As for the other forces in the five regions, they could not fight against the Evil Spirit Sect at all. They could only hide and rely on the help of the dynasty to survive.

The current situation was not good for the five regions’ cultivators.

The Evil Spirits from the outer realm posed too great of a threat, and their strength and heritage far exceeded the native cultivators.

It could be said that this was an apocalyptic calamity.

Fortunately, the Evil Spirit experts couldn’t casually step into the mortal world. Otherwise, the entire five regions would have been reduced to ashes.

Even so, the Evil Spirit Sect still ran rampant. They continuously attacked the cultivators of the five regions, suppressing and capturing them to the Evil Spirit Sect Forbidden Grounds.

Countless factions had been wiped out, their families had been destroyed, their wives and children had been separated, and the people had been left without a chance to live!

…

Wang Shenxu and the others knew that this was the Evil Spirit Sect Forbidden Grounds. A group of Heavenly Venerables and Sages were imprisoned here, so they specially came to rescue them.

Hearing Yue Yunde’s words, the White Thearch did not care. “So what?

“With me here, what’s there to be afraid of? I can kill those filthy evil bastards with a flick of my finger.”

The White Thearch had a look of disdain on his face. His body was emitting a powerful aura that shook heaven and earth.

Wang Shenxu pursed his lips. “Alright, stop bragging! It’s not as if I don’t know. Every time something happens, you old tortoise runs the fastest!”

The three of them were old partners and were in charge of heading to the Evil Spirit Sect Forbidden Grounds to rescue the captured five regions’ cultivators.

Especially since the three of them had similar personalities, they soon got along well.

Previously, in the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, Wang Shenxu had mixed with the two of them. He specialized in scamming people and was very familiar with them.

The White Thearch jumped up when he heard that. “You brat, don’t think that you can look down on me just because you’ve become the Great Void Sacred Leader!

“When I dominated the five regions, your master had not even appeared!

“If you continue to spout nonsense, I will bite you to death!”

The White Thearch opened his mouth as though he was about to bite down on Wang Shenxu’s head.

“Do you think I’m afraid of you? Do you believe that I will cut you to death?”

Wang Shenxu also shouted, not feeling any fear!

…

In a hundred years, Wang Shenxu had succeeded the position of the Great Void Sacred Leader.

In this tumultuous era, where the surroundings were full of Spirit Qi, and the laws were unprecedentedly clear, the younger generation grew many times faster.

Many young paragons had advanced by leaps and bounds, and there were many who had transcended the tribulations, becoming Sages within 100 years.

Wang Shenxu was an extremely talented prodigy and had consumed the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill before. His cultivation had already reached the Five Tribulation True Sage.

His battle prowess far exceeded that of an ordinary True Sage and could easily suppress an ordinary Great Sage.

Thus, the Great Void Sacred Leader had abdicated his position and let Wang Shenxu lead the Great Void Sacred Ground while he hid behind the scenes as a grand elder.

It was not only Wang Shenxu. The White Thearch and Yue Yunde were the same. They were both Five Tribulation True Sages and had great battle prowess.

As the purpose of the trip this time to the Evil Spirit Sect Forbidden Grounds was to rescue people, the people from the Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty were afraid of attracting the Evil Spirit experts.

Hence, they had specially sent out three experts with powerful concealment abilities to rescue them.

Meanwhile, the others waited outside in case anything happened.

…

“Alright, alright, stop arguing! What if those Evil Spirit bastards notice us!?”

Yue Yunde stepped out to be the mediator, which gave him a headache. He felt flustered whenever he was with these two fellows.

However, he didn’t really mind it. Although this place was strange, it wasn’t much of a threat to the three people who had extremely powerful life-saving abilities.

After all, if they couldn’t beat them, they could still run!

The three of them hid in the void and crept toward the valley.

…

Soon, they arrived inside the valley.

This place was completely dark, and evil energy was surging endlessly, the aura making one shiver.

The ground was stained with blood, and broken limbs were scattered everywhere. It was a ghastly sight.

Corpses laid everywhere.

There was a huge hole in their chests, and their eyes were about to pop out. Clearly, they had experienced incomparably terrifying pain when they were alive.

A few Nascent Soul heretics were also cooking scarlet beating hearts in a big pot, cultivating some kind of evil technique.

Those were the hearts that had just been extracted, still beating and dripping with scarlet blood.

Those who fell into the hands of the Evil Spirit Sect would not have a good ending.

The Evil Spirit disciples had already lost their humanity and were corroded by the evil aura. Their evil nature was reflected to the extreme, and they were reduced to monsters that only knew how to massacre and wreak havoc.

The faces of Wang Shenxu and the rest turned cold as they said coldly, “These damned scum! I really want to slap them to death!”

The three of them were fuming with rage as they watched this scene, and they wished for nothing more than to slaughter all of these human scum.

But soon, they calmed down and suppressed the anger in their hearts.

The three of them didn’t forget that this was a rescue mission. If they were to draw out the Evil Spirit here, things would be troublesome.

They dove into the void and continued deeper.

Finally, they met the imprisoned Heavenly Venerables and Sages on a desolate land.

All their cultivations were restrained while their bodies were covered in horrifying injuries, and they were extremely miserable. There were many people whose eyes were gouged out, and their arms were severed. They still had not died and were continuously crying out.

The Evil Spirit Sect wouldn’t easily kill these high-level cultivators. These people were the best nutrients, able to guide the Evil Spirits from the outer realm into this world.

However, not killing them did not mean that they were not tortured. From the looks of these people, it was obvious that they had been tortured.

“Save them first. We’ll settle the score with them later!”

Wang Shenxu’s eyes were filled with fury.

When the White Thearch and Yue Yunde saw this, they looked at each other and walked forward.

However, right at this moment, countless divine patterns covered the ground before suddenly lighting up and soaring into the sky!

Waves of evil qi fluctuated indeterminately before transforming into a grey screen of light that completely enveloped this area.

“Oh no!”

The trio’s expressions changed slightly. They discovered that the space in this place had been completely sealed.

With their strength, they were unable to tear through the void and were completely restricted.

The White Thearch shouted, “F*ck! We’ve fallen into a trap!”

…

In front of them, the Heavenly Venerables and Sages were nothing but illusions that dissipated from the world.

The Evil Spirit race’s powerhouses had used these people as bait.

At that moment, the grey mist shook violently while numerous terrifying figures appeared within it.

They had repulsive appearances, and their entire bodies were pitch black like devils. There were also sharp black bone spikes on their bodies.

Sharp fangs and scarlet pupils were the common characteristics of their bodies, and they were all emitting a ferocious aura as if they were about to sink one’s heart.

These creatures were all Evil Spirits from the outer realm.

These Evil Spirits from the outer realm had come from the outer realm through a world rift. They were extremely powerful!

Among them, the weakest Evil Spirit was comparable to a Heavenly Venerable powerhouse, and the stronger ones were even comparable to human Sages.

More importantly, there were many Evil Spirits. They were densely packed and covered the entire valley.

Hundreds of Evil Spirits appeared at the same time, emitting dense evil energy that covered the sky and sun. They seemed terrifying as if they were going to overturn the heavens.

These Evil Spirits had terrifying auras. There were more than ten Sage Evil Spirits, and there was no lack of True Sages among them.

And in front of these Evil Spirits, there was a human controlling them.

This person wore pitch-black evil armor, and his entire body was shrouded in black flames. His aura was violent and terrifying as if he was a devil from hell that wanted to slaughter the world.

The pupils of Wang Shenxu and the other two constricted as their faces changed. “Hell Protector King!?”

This person was one of the three kings of the Evil Spirit Sect, the Hell Protector King!

After the Lifeless King had died, there were only three kings left in the Evil Spirit Sect.

Other than the mysterious and unfathomable Evil Spirit Sect Master who had never shown his face, the two Vice Sect Masters and three kings had appeared and fought a great battle against the Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty before.

Therefore, Wang Shenxu and the rest could naturally recognize the Hell Protector King’s identity.

As a king of the Evil Spirit Sect, he was a true peak Great Sage.

Unexpectedly, they were surrounded by the Hell Protector King this time.

From the looks of it, the Evil Spirit Sect knew that they were coming and had set up a trap beforehand.

Wang Shenxu and the other two had solemn expressions as they sighed inwardly at the huge trouble they had encountered.

…

At that moment, the Hell Protector King took a step forward and sneered with a hoarse voice that sounded like the roar of a malicious spirit.

“I’ve long heard that the new Great Void Sacred Leader, Wang Shenxu, has unfathomable void skills. He has rescued many captives and ruined the Holy Spirit Sect’s plans many times.

“Today, I have borrowed the supreme Immortal weapon, the Realm Sealing Plate, just to keep you here. Be prepared!”

Wang Shenxu and the other two had used the Void Laws to wreak havoc in the forbidden grounds of the Evil Spirit Cult and were finally targeted by the Hell Protector King.

In order to kill Wang Shenxu and the others, he hadn’t hesitated to spend a great deal, borrowing the Realm Sealing Plate to trap them.

This was a supreme spatial Immortal artifact that could forcibly seal off the entire space and cut off the void.

Even a Great Sage would not be able to break this seal.

It was the most suitable artifact to deal with the three people who had mastered the power of the void!

The Hell Protector King looked at the three of them with an evil gaze.

These damned shit-stirrers, let’s see how you guys escape today!

Hehe, this time, I have really made a killing!

…

These three were the most monstrous geniuses of the five regions, their value far surpassing those ordinary Sages.

If they were turned into nutrients and sacrificed to the Evil Lord Sacred Spirit, they would definitely be able to grace the unprecedentedly powerful Evil Lord Sacred Spirit in this world.

At that time, the Hell Protector King would receive the blessing of the Sacred Spirit, and his cultivation would increase tremendously!
