Chapter 526: A Horrifyingly Thick Bolt of Lightning
When various powerful cultivators received the news, they all swarmed towards the Area of the Gods.
A figure appeared in the Chaos with a notebook in hand. An elder stood next to him with respect.
The figure flipped the notebook. He had a flickering gaze. He scoffed, “The Legendary Demon Sect, the Saintly Kingdom, the White Cloud Sect, the Dustfall Mountain Sect... There are eight sects here from the Twelve Chaos Sects! These annoying cultivators, I’ll kill them eventually!
“The Heavenly Palace, the Underworld, the Demons, and the Human Sovereign... Are these the original forces in the Area of the Gods? They seem so non-threatening.”
He continued to flip the page. Then, he closed the book.
He asked, “Do you know how the three senior members died?”
“My Lord, I went to a world that one of them created. It’s called the Yunhuang World. I found out that the three senior members went to capture a Dog!”
“A Realm Cultivator Dog?”
The elder nodded. He said sternly, “And the Dog seems to be very powerful!”
The figure groaned for a moment. He frowned and said, “The Ministry can’t do things in public at this point.”
He meant that the Ministry would send out more experts to capture the Dog, but there were too many powerful forces to worry about.
“We have to keep an eye on the Area of the Gods. There will be a lot of extraordinary Demons. Capture them. Also... If we run into anyone from the Legendary Demon Sect, try to capture them alive!”
“Don’t worry, my Lord. I’ll do my best. I won’t let you down!”
There were a lot of small worlds in the Chaos. Forces, clans, and sects were complicated and diverse. They all swarmed towards the Area of the Gods to look for opportunities.
However, they had an unspoken bond between them. They were all cultivators. So, unless there were some issues, they would refrain from fighting. They seemed to be peaceful at the moment.
“The Underworld? Reincarnation? How ridiculous! I can’t believe that the Ghost Realm would have such lowly ways. The Ghosts are in desperate need of my help!”
The Ghastly Ghost King stood on top of a hill with his eyes shut. Creepy Ghost aura surrounded him like dreadful cloud rings. Then, he turned to smoke and moved!
Grey aura was emitted wherever he passed by. It was a unique kind of deadly gas. The deadly gas was filled with rage, contempt, hatred, desperation, pain, and destruction.
Meanwhile, at a small village.
A woman was struggling in the water. Gradually, she could no longer move her limbs. Her eyes were filled with despair. She gradually stopped struggling as her life faded away.
Her hatred and rage gradually died down as she died. However, an undetected grey aura slowly floated towards her.
The soul of the woman floated out from her body. She turned around. She dazedly looked at her body. There was confusion in her eyes.
“Am I dead?”
“That’s right, you’re dead! You were murdered by an evil couple! Your husband cheated on you and abandoned you. Then, he and his lover pushed you into the river to drown. You want revenge!”
“I want revenge?”
“That’s right! You want revenge! You want them to die in the most painful way!”
“But... I should go reincarnate.”
“Reincarnate? That’s nothing but tricks. All your life experiences and trauma will be gone with a bowl of Meng Po Soup. Will you still be you? Who will avenge you? Do you want to watch that cheating couple live happily ever after?
“They killed you, but they’ll be happier than ever. Nobody cares about your death. Nobody will blame them. Everyone will congratulate them. You don’t deserve this. You’re the only person who can stand up for yourself!”
The woman’s ghost had red teary eyes. Her long hair flowed with the wind. She said with a hint of hatred, “You’re right, I have to avenge myself!”
“That’s the spirit. The best revenge is the one you serve yourself. Go, avenge yourself!”
In another forest, a few gardeners were carrying a dead body to the middle of nowhere.
They did not look surprised at all. Another woman was killed by their young master.
A gentle grey aura came over.
The ghost that stood next to the body instantly had a twisted expression. Endless hatred turned to creepy winds. The trees and leaves shook with the wind. The gardeners instantly felt a chill go down their spines. They shivered.
“How can you treat me like this? I want revenge! And to those who stood by and watched, those who ignored my screams for help, they’re accomplices, too. They also need to die!”
“Haha, that’s right. That’s humanity for you. Kill them! Destroy them! Make them pay, make them regret it. Let the whole world feel your pain!”
The Ghastly Ghost King passed by like a master manipulator. He enjoyed the hatred of the dead.
...
The appearance of the Area of the Gods was naturally a good thing for the Eldritch World. The Humans were stronger. They had a higher chance of becoming Immortals. It was also very beneficial for the cultivators.
However, they were more pressured because there were powerful beings everywhere.
They were initially pleased to have breakthroughs. However, they became more afraid.
They had to admit a painful fact. ‘I see that having a breakthrough doesn’t mean I’m stronger. The world’s stronger. I didn’t quite catch up to the improvement of the world...’
In other words, they were weak losers.
The Heavenly Palace deservingly became the main spotlight.
A lot of newcomers chose to be in contact with the Heavenly Palace first. Of course, the Jade Emperor and the Empress were against it.
However, they had to open the gates and welcome them with a smile, no matter how unwilling they were.
They were not as powerful as the outsiders. So, they could only allow them to do so.
Clang!
Suddenly, a muscular and buff cultivator crushed the cup in his hand. The buff cultivator had a long whip for a nose and he had a black face. He spat out his beverage. He demanded with a cold voice, “Do you think I’m a beggar? I’m a ruler in the Chaos. How can you welcome me with this nonsense?!”
“How dare you?!”
Yang Jing and Juling Shen menacingly surrounded him with a bunch of Heavenly Soldiers.
However, the buff Elephant cultivator squinted. He yelled, “Scram!”
The single word was terrifyingly powerful. The power was irresistible. The Heavenly Soldiers were instantly knocked backward.
The buff cultivator laughed and said, “Haha, so weak. Don’t embarrass yourselves!”
“Calm down, cultivator.”
Cultivator Junjun gently waved. He disengaged the power of the buff cultivator. He said, “This wine’s the best wine of the Heavenly Palace. I’m truly sorry about that.”
The buff cultivator sneered, “This is the Area of the Gods. There are opportunities and treasures everywhere. Right? Is this the best wine you can get? You must be bluffing!”
Cultivator Junjun said calmly, “Cultivator, you know that the Area of the Gods just appeared. To be honest with you, this land was previously flawed.”
The Jade Emperor and the Empress quietly stood behind him.
They were naturally very angry. However, they forced themselves to endure it. A lot of cultivators would love to cause havoc if they lost control.
As for the food and wine, they knew what they were doing. Unless they had brain damage, they would never serve the fruits and wine of the expert. They did not even want to mention the expert. That was something they all agreed on.
It was like a golden touch. No one would brag about that to the public.
‘Do you want to drink beautiful wine? Do you deserve it?’
“Nonsense!” The buff cultivator stared with wide eyes. He yelled, “Tell me then. How did a flawed world become the Area of the Gods? Are you telling me that there were no rare treasures in the transformation process? I suggest you bring them out!”
The other cultivators simultaneously put down their wine glasses. They stared at the Jade Emperor and the others with glaring eyes.
They naturally wished that someone would start trouble. In that case, they could figure out the Heavenly Palace. If the Heavenly Palace hid treasures, they could gain benefits without the fight. It was a worthy deal and they were happy to take it.
Cultivator Junjun looked sincere. He said innocently, “We’re not as powerful. As for rare treasures, we haven’t found anything yet.”
The buff cultivator squinted. He stared at Cultivator Junjun. Then, he looked at the Heavenly Palace. He sneered, “This is a nice place you got here! I just arrived. Don’t you think you should give me a palace?”
Cultivator Junjun shook his head and said, “That’s not appropriate, cultivator. Only Heavenly Palace Immortals can stay at the Heavenly Palace.”
“You have no right to reject me! If you don’t have enough rooms, that’s an easy fix. I’ll kill until I have a room!”
The buff cultivator laughed coldly. He stepped out and started to pick his palace. Then, he laid eyes on the Palace of the Deluxe Merit Saint.
“This palace is facing the stars and it’s pretty high up. It’s nice. Where’s the owner of this palace? Tell him to meet me!”
The Jade Emperor and the others blocked the buff cultivator. They said with seriousness, “Cultivator, this is the Deluxe Merit Saint of our Eldritch World. He won’t come out to see you.”
“Deluxe Merit Saint? He’s nothing to me! How arrogant!”
The buff cultivator sneered and scoffed, “I see that you’re all so nervous. Perhaps there’s a hidden secret? Open the door. I want to go inside!”
Cultivator Junjun did not look happy at all. “Cultivator, enough. Conflict won’t be good for anybody here!”
Goddess Nuwa and Yun Shu activated their powers at the side.
They could discard their pride and allow them to enter the Heavenly Palace. However, the palace of the expert was extremely sacred. They had to defend it!
The other outsider cultivators simultaneously activated their powers. They were pressuring everyone from the Heavenly Palace.
“It’s only a palace. Open the doors and show us.”
“What? You don’t dare to?”
“Perhaps there’s a hidden secret? This is troublesome for us!”
Goddess Nuwa and the others felt their hearts sink. They felt pressured but they did not want to back off.
Suddenly, the long nose of the buff cultivator stiffened without a warning. His soft nose suddenly became as hard as a baton. A strong water pillar was also ejaculated in an instant!
The target was the door of the Palace of the Deluxe Merit Saint!
Then, there was an attack from a Chaos Daluo Golden Immortal!
He attacked within a second to be fast but it was still very powerful. Also, it was too quick to stop it.
Everyone watched the water pillar hit the door.
The Jade Emperor and the others were nervous. The others were excited.
However, the strong attack did not push the door open.
Not only was the door not opened, but it also remained untouched. It was not affected at all.
Everyone went silent. They had odd looks.
‘Seriously?’
‘You’re so incompetent.’
The buff cultivator blushed. He looked at the door. The knocker was still dangling...
It proved that he was there.
He was instantly humiliated. He felt made fun of.
Before he could be angry, a huge sense of danger overcame him. His body went cold as his hair stood on ends. He was oddly nervous and he could not breathe.
‘Danger!
‘My life’s in danger!
‘I’m going to die!’
He was blinded by a bright light the moment he had those thoughts. A blinding white light shone upon him and covered him entirely!
The light beam was a horrifyingly thick bolt of lightning!
