The Abyssal Emperor's cold and lifeless eyes turned towards the four Abyssal Emperors, "Just a weakling not worth fearing, and he made the four of you so embarrassed?"
"Had I not arrived in time, the abyss would probably have had another layer of seal reinforced, right?"
The Abyssal Emperors fell silent, not daring to refute even in the slightest...
The scene they had just witnessed was crystal clear to them; the Abyssal Emperor had appeared out of nowhere and slain the human without being detected by any spiritual power!
His true strength was fearsome to behold!
Only the Fierce Emperor, steeling himself, said, "Your Majesty's words are very true, this time we were careless!"
The Abyssal Emperor sneered, "Careless? It seems you have forgotten my words. This operation must be executed without a single mistake!"
Chemical Emperor took a deep breath, "Your Majesty, we guarantee there will not be a next time."
The Demon Emperor and Sickle Emperor also nodded their heads in agreement...
The Abyssal Emperor just stared at them for several seconds before finally saying, "Only this once! Otherwise, you will no longer be necessary!"
"Yes!"
Seeing that he had calmed down, the Demon Emperor then mustered the courage to ask, "Your Majesty, now that there are no human armies to interfere, shall we organize a larger scale assault on the seal by the abyssal creatures?"
The Abyssal Emperor's gaze turned to the vast army of abyssal creatures in front and commanded in a cold voice, "At any cost, we must break through the seal within three days!"
Once the seal is broken, the entire Human Plane will be within our grasp!
...
Meanwhile, Zhang Huanyun and others, having entered the passageway and begun to release their spiritual power to probe the interior, received a voice in each of their minds, "Do not enter the abyss at all costs, the strength of the Abyssal Emperor... the strength..."
But at that point, there was no more to the message...
Zhang Huanyun's cheeks revealed a trace of sorrow, "That just now was a message from Blood One. It seems... we're a step too late. He and the other Blood Gods, they've all made the ultimate sacrifice!"
First the former Blood One, now the current Blood One, this position seems cursed, each sacrificing themselves for the Blood God Army!
Turbid World suppressed the rage in his heart, "Before his death, Blood One must have wanted to leave something behind, but there was no time to leave a complete spiritual message, only enough to warn us not to enter the abyss!"
Feng Wu Yu's eyes showed a hint of solemnity, "I'm afraid... Blood One must have encountered the Abyssal Emperor, and moreover, the latter's strength is likely to be an existence we cannot combat even if we join forces!"
Yuanen Zhentian said in a heavy tone, "As much as we don't want to accept it, Blood One and the Blood Gods have sacrificed themselves, and if we continue to enter, it will only waste the opportunity they bought with their lives!"
"Commander Zhang, let's return to the Blood God Army first and plan for the long term," someone proposed.
Zhang Huanyun, as if he had lost his soul, unconsciously responded with a noncommittal "Hmm"...
...
On the other side, the Ghost Emperor, who had narrowly escaped the Blood God Army and was very weak, upon sensing no one pursuing him, immediately collapsed on the ground, gasping for air...
"Damn Yun Ming, already dead, and still you meddle with that woman!" he cursed.
As he spoke, he glanced at what was left of his half-body of blurry flesh...
Then, he released what little Soul Power he had left, attempting to make the flesh grow...
But the result was only a sprouting of tiny flesh buds...
At this moment, the Ming Emperor also caught up and spoke abruptly, "That Sky-Piercing Spear carries a sealing power, no matter how much you stimulate your Soul Power, you cannot restore your body completely!"
Upon hearing this, the Ghost Emperor immediately turned around, warily watching Halosa before him...
He never trusted anyone, especially not in such a weakened state!
Suddenly, Halosa scoffed, "What, scared I'm going to attack you?"
If he really had that thought, the current Ghost Emperor wouldn't stand a chance of surviving!
Knowing that the former was stating a fact, the Ghost Emperor could only coldly "hmm"...
Following that, he released his Martial Soul, bones burrowed out of his flesh, and eventually, a skeleton formed, replacing his lost half body!
Only then did he say coldly, "Speak, what are your true intentions!"
Ming Emperor shook his head and lightly said, "I have no intentions; I merely want to ensure your safety."
Ghost Emperor, as if hearing a joke, "Ensuring my safety, that's laughable! What benefit is there for you?"
Ming Emperor's profound gaze pierced the other party, "No benefit, but if you die, there will be only one emperor left, and the Holy Spirit Cult will completely become a toy in the hands of the Demon Emperor."
He might be subservient to the Demon Emperor for now, but that didn't mean it would always be the case!
The expression on Ghost Emperor's face shifted slightly, yet he responded indifferently, "Even if I live, the current Holy Spirit Cult is still under the Demon Emperor's control!"
"Moreover, you are now the Demon Emperor's lackey! You're no longer the mighty Ming Emperor!"
The look in Ming Emperor's eyes suddenly changed, and he pointed his thin sword against the other's neck...
He said coldly, "Ghost Emperor, I don't want to kill you, but, that's just it—I don't want to."
If provoked further, he wouldn't mind kicking a man while he's down!
The Ghost Emperor was fearless, "Heh heh... You won't kill me!"
Facing the other's confident demeanor, Ming Emperor was quite dissatisfied; he truly didn't like the feeling of being at someone's mercy...
Thus, his hand holding the thin sword grew heavier by a few degrees, "Why are you so certain?"
The thin sword cut the skin, trickles of purplish-red blood flowing out...
Word by word, the Ghost Emperor stated, "Because no one understands you better than I do!"
Ming Emperor's pupils constricted, but he indeed shifted the thin sword slightly...
He said expressionlessly, "There are no Soul Masters around, don't die here!"
With that, his figure disappeared...
Only when he could no longer sense a presence did the Ghost Emperor wipe the sweat from his forehead and revealed a sinister smile...
...
Spirit Pagoda!
A Spirit Pagoda Member responsible for passing messages bowed and said solemnly, "Report to the Pagoda Master, according to the news from the Blood God Army, the abyssal creatures are organizing a massive operation, suspected of being close to breaking the seal!"
"Hence, they're seeking assistance from our Spirit Pagoda!"
Gu Yuena's face remained unchanged. "Is it the Commander of the Blood God Army who sent the message?"
The member replied, "No, it's from a Major General of the Blood God Army named Tang Wulin!"
Upon hearing this name, Gu Yuena's beautiful eyes softened a bit, "Wulin..."
Seeing this, the member asked again, "Pagoda Master, should we reinforce the Blood God Army?"
Leng Yaozhu and Di Tian, along with other ferocious beasts, all turned their gaze towards Gu Yuena...
They all knew the close relationship between Tang Wulin and Gu Yuena; she most likely wouldn't refuse his request!
But Gu Yuena's face suddenly turned cold and she denied, "No, refuse the Blood God Army's request. We from the Spirit Pagoda already have our hands full!"
