God Emperor

Chapter 1880: The Nine-Eyes Heavenly King

Murong Yefeng said, “If we are going to Lord Ming’s Sword Temple, then we need to rescue one person.”

“Who?”

Murong Yefeng said, “Warlord Bao Lie.”

“Brother Bao Lie... he’s still alive?”

Zhang Ruochen was both shocked and eager.

Bao Lie was the third disciple of Emperor Ming and was a Warlord of the Shengming Central Empire.

Eight hundred years ago, Bao Lie’s cultivation had already reached the realm of Saint King.

Zhang Ruochen had looked up the historical data eight hundred years ago, and the records said that Bao Lie and Princess Chi Yao each led armies of tens of millions, and started a protracted war at Mingguo County.

In the end, the Shengming army was defeated.

Bao Lie, who had the title of Warlord, died in that war.

Murong Yefeng continued, “As far as I know, Warlord Bao Lie did not die but was imprisoned by Chi Yao in the Nether Dungeon inside Lord Ming’s Sword Vault. Of course, it had been eight hundred years, it’s hard to say whether Warlord Bao Lie is still alive or not.”

“In any case, we have to pay the dungeon a visit. If Senior Bao Lie is still alive, then we must save him. If he had perished, then we need to take his remains out, and give it a proper burial.” Zhang Ruochen said.

The Nether Dungeon had 18 levels, and since ancient times, the most vicious of humans and beasts would be captured and imprisoned within it.

Zhang Ruochen and his party left the Qianshui Royal City and went to the Eastern Region Holy City to meet up with Xiang Chunan, Murong Yue, and the rest.

During their stay at Luoshui, many great things had happened in Kunlun Realm.

There were World Rifts in five of the regions ruled by The First Central Empire.

A World Rift equated to a cruel battlefield, and was the gateway for the Infernal Court to invade Kunlun Realm, and was at the same time, the location where the Celestial Court established their defensive fortresses such as the Godfall Cryptwoods in the Eastern Region, the Mountains of Immortal Promise in the Northern Region.

The World Rift in the Central Region was the Darkmourn Mountains.

Just two days ago, the armies of the Celestial and Infernal Court met in a fierce battle.

The Infernal Court broke through the defense fortress of the Celestial Court, and a large number of Immortal Vampires and Netherkin cultivators entered the Kunlun Realm.

Previously, it was only a smattering of Infernal Court cultivators that slipped through, like the Blood Wasp Ashuran King, Chang..., their ability to cause damage was limited and would be killed very quickly.

But this time around, there was a surge of Infernal Court cultivators, and the consequences were unimaginable.

It was bad news for all life on the Kunlun Realm, and also the cultivators of the Celestial Court.

Fortunately, the defensive fortress at the Darkmourn Mountains had been resealed by a large number of elites of the Celestial Court, and it did not completely fall. Or else, the entire Central Region would be plunged into a continuous war, and becoming a literal hell on earth.

Zhang Ruochen realized the seriousness of the situation and said, “The Immortal Vampires entering the Kunlun Realm will certainly go and rescue Lord Ming. We need to rush to the Sword Vault.”

Just as they were about to set off, Murong Yefeng received a Communication Light Talisman, and his expression immediately changed as the air around turned chilly.

“What’s wrong?” Zhang Ruochen asked.

Murong Yefeng said. “The Murong Clan came under attack by strong enemies. The initial inference is that the foe maybe the Angels.”

“Angels? Is the Heavenly Realm retaliating?” Zhang Ruochen asked.

Murong Yefeng replied. “In the battle of the Eastern Region Holy City, the Heavenly Realm suffered grievous casualties, but there must have been some who had escaped. They must’ve identified me, so they are retaliated against the Murong Clan.”

“I’ll rush back to the Clan Manor now, and kill the foes from the Heavenly Realm.” Murong Yue said.

Murong Yefeng shook his head. “There are many elites in the Heavenly Realm. With your current cultivation, you may not be able to protect the Clan Manor. I need to personally rush back for that. Yue’er, stay with His Highness and protect him. There can be no slips.”

After Murong Yefeng left, Zhang Ruochen and his group also left the Eastern Region Holy City, and through a dimensional wormhole, they rushed as fast as possible to Lord Ming’s Sword Vault.

They were accompanied by Xiang Chunan, Murong Yue, and Luo Yi, who claimed to be a cultivator from the Shangyuan Sect.

As for this person, Zhang Ruochen still was somewhat wary, so he got Awesome the Little Taoist to keep an eye on him all the time.

Arriving in the Central Region, Zhang Ruochen received Shi Ren who had been cultivating inside the Qiankun Realm.

Shi Ren was the young chief of the ancient Zhenyu Clan and was Zhang Ruochen’s sworn friend.

In Qiankun Realm, Shi Ren had been asking for advice and learning from the Divine Sky-connecting Tree and could be called a somewhat-disciple of the Divine Sky-connecting Tree. So be it his attainments in terms of spiritual power or the Path of Runes, all saw great progress.

After passing through into a vast wilderness, Zhang Ruochen and his group entered the depths of a wild mountain.

Gradually, the mountain became grander and grander and was full of the Saint Qi of Heaven and Earth. Ancient rivers flowed rapidly in the mountains, kicking up mists, giving it a very mysterious atmosphere.

Be it the ground or the air, mysterious, complex, esoteric ward patterns appeared, painting a strange color in the sky, and any living being that came here had to be careful.

Luo Yi followed the crowd from behind, and while observing those ward inscriptions, he asked. “These inscriptions are ancient and arcane, it is probably a relic from the Middle Ages?”

“That’s right.” Shi Ren said.

Awesome the Little Taoist sniggered. “And it’s very incomplete, its power limited. If it could be restored, it may be able to match the ancient wards in the Easter Region Holy City.”

“Only an Array Master could repair the wards here.” Shi Ren said regretfully.

This was not the first time Zhang Ruochen came to the Lord Ming’s Sword Vault. Compared to the last few times, this time it gave him a different feeling.

On the left side in front, there was a broken stone forest, and by opening his Heavenly Eye, he could see that there were crimson inscriptions intertwined within the stone forest.

Zhang Ruochen pointed his finger at the direction of the stone forest.

A sword wave flew out.

Boooom!!!

The piece of stone forest was like a disturbed hive as a large number of crimson energies surged out, exuding an awful energy wave. That power was enough to kill a Saint King.

After a few breaths later, the stone forest returned to calm again.

Zhang Ruochen said, “The remnants of the Sword Vault’s wards are much more powerful than before.”

Shi Ren said. “In the past, Kunlun Realm had yet to recover, and the wards in the Sword Vault was roused by the spiritual pulse underground. Now, with saint veins had grown underground, with the saint Qi of the veins activating the wards, the power that it could unleash is naturally much stronger than before.”

“It is almost impossible for a being beneath a Supreme Saint to break into the Sword Vault.”

Zhang Ruochen was not as optimistic as Shi Ren. “The Immortal Vampires may not be able to destroy the ancient wards in the vault, but they are proficient in masquerading and sneaking into the vault itself is not a difficult thing to accomplish.”

Shi Ren nodded and said. “I can only hope that father had closed the Sword Vault.”

On the periphery of the Sword Vault, above the white clouds, there was a large mountain of white bones hidden in it. Streams of blood-red air streams whizzed across the white bone mountain.

On the white bone mountain, was a white bone platform.

Three Shenzi and Seven Imperial Sons and Daughters of the Immortal Vampires stood on the white bone platform as they looked at Zhang Ruochen and his ground disappeared among the mountains.

“They can actually pass through that area without incident?” Prince Wujie said in surprise.

A long-faced Princess smiled and said. “Obviously, they have mastered the way to enter the Sword Vault. We should capture them directly so that we don’t have to wait here any longer.”

The three Shenzi of the Immortal Vampires were all extraordinary, with silver wings on their backs.

One of the Shenzi had nine eyes, five on his face, two on his chest, and another two on each of his palms. Few people knew his real name, and the Immortal Vampires all honor him as ‘The Nine-eyes Heavenly King’.

In the eyes of many divine scions of the Immortal Vampires, the Nine-Eyes Heavenly King was a first-class powerhouse.

He said. “Don’t act rashly. There’s a very powerful character in that group, with very strong spiritual powers. If not for the divine bones inside the mountain had been inscribed with concealment runes by an Array Master, we would have been detected by her.”

The seven princes and princess present were all-powerful Precept Dominion elites, but after the Nine-Eyes Heavenly King spoke, all of them closed their mouths and listened quietly, not daring to be disrespectful.

“For such a powerful spiritual power master to go into the Sword Vault is not a good thing for us. Will Baihuan Shenzi’s guise be seen through by her?”

The Nine-Eyes Heavenly King shook his head and said, “Even a Supreme Saint may not be able to see through the disguise of an Immortal Vampire. Moreover, Baihuan Shenzi is adept at illusions, bewitchment, and disguise. No matter how powerful her spiritual power is, it’s impossible for her to see any flaws in that.”

“Baihuan Shenzi had already snuck into the Sword Vault for a day and a night, why isn’t he out yet? Could it be that something happened?” a princess said with some worry.

Standing next to the Nine-Eyes Heavenly King was a seven-meter-tall Shenzi, and the latter laughed. “Who in the Sword Vault could do anything to him? I think he plans to destroy the entire Zhenyu Clan, rescue Lord Ming, and then claim all of the credits by himself.

The Nine-Eyes Heavenly King said. “The Lord Ming’s Sword Vault had always been one of the most mysterious places in the Kunlun Realm. A hundred thousand years ago, even the gods of my people dared not wilfully enter the place. The Nether Dungeon is an even more dangerous place, and locked within it are all extremely wicked people. Even Lord Ming is only locked in the fifteenth level. There are three more levels after the fifteenth level and are all forbidden grounds in Kunlun Realm. No one knows if there are much more terrifying creatures locked inside there. If Baihuan Shenzi is greedy for achievements, then it will not end well for him.”

“Then what should we do now? Just wait like this?” A prince asked.

There was a deep thought in the eyes of the Nine-Eyes Heavenly King. “We shall continue to wait. But the person we are waiting for is not just Baihuan Shenzi, but also Ming Xian.”

“Ming Xian?”

“That Netherkin pervert is also coming here?”

...

The Immortal Vampires present were all surprised and somewhat appalled.

The Nine-eyes Heavenly King was calm, and he spoke indifferently. “The Shen family, one of the three main families of the Zhenyu Clan holds the tome of Kunlun Realm’s first-class array, the Stellar Tapestry. The inscription array outside of the Sword Vault was deployed by the ancestors of the Shen family. From that, you can see how arcane the Stellar Tapestry is.”

“Ming Xian’s goal is the Stellar Tapestry, and we shall take what we need.”
