Chapter 1544
1544 Yanluo Forefather, High Priest Strikes, Three Underworld Cities At War
“You really think an Embodier is enough to stop this?” Chu Kuangren said coldly, and his words shocked everyone at the scene.
An Embodier was not enough to change the tide?
Did he mean that he had a way to deal with an Embodier?
It was impossible!
!!
Everyone knew that an Embodier and those below an Embodier were two different concepts. It was like comparing a human to an Immortal.
No one under the Embodier realm could win an Embodier.
“Chu Kuangren, what are you trying to do?” King Yanluo frowned and looked at Chu Kuangren coldly.
For some reason, he felt uneasy.
If it were someone else, he would simply take it as a bluff. However, it was Chu Kuangren who said those words.
The man had created countless miracles up until now, and if he said he had a way, others might have to take him seriously.
“I’m curious too. In what ways does the Ghost Emperor have to stop me?”
A voice sounded from the deepest part of Yincao.
Mystical Daoist law appeared and formed a flight of stairs down the road.
At the end of the flight of stairs was an elderly in black robes, shrouded in Yin qi and Immortal Sparks that could shake worlds and brighten the darkest wasteland.
The elderly looked weak, but each move he made contained unrivaled power.
As for the Daoist law that surrounded him, any one of them was powerful enough to kill an Arch Gilded Immortal without any resistance.
The elderly was the Yanluo Forefather, the Embodier of Yincao Underworld City, who had absolute control over the Dao he cultivated!
Chu Kuangren had a feeling that his Heavenly Samsara Physique was rendered useless by the man’s samsara energy.
That was because Yanluo Forefather embodied the Samsara Dao as well.
Since Yanluo Forefather embodied the Samsara Dao and became a part of it, Chu Kuangren could not use his own samsara energy before the man even if he possessed the Heavenly Samsara Physique.
“Yincao is going down today, and not even an Embodier can stop it,” Chu Kuangren said with his hands behind his back, looking fearless even before an Embodier.
“Oh? Is the Ghost Emperor a Heavenly Champion too? Is that why you think I can’t do anything to you? Don’t forget, I can easily destroy the people around you,” said Yanluo Forefather.
He raised his hand and unleashed endless Yin qi from his body. Then, the Yin qi transformed into a massive palm above the Underworld Terracotta Army.
All he needed to do was press downwards, and he could squash the Underworld Terracotta Army into nothing but clay.
Kakroom!
That was when another Samsara Dao’s Daoist law appeared in the realm.
An elderly in gray robes approached the battlefield proudly before channeling his Yin qi, and the massive black palm dispersed in the air.
The man was also an Embodier, and his arrival made everyone gasp in shock.
There was only a handful of Embodier existences throughout the universe, yet two of them were here in a battle in the Underworld.
When the great ones of Yincao had a closer look at the elderly, their expression turned bitter.
“It’s the High Priest!”
“The High Priest from the Underworld Arbiter? He’s here?!”
“High Priest, why are you siding with Chu Kuangren? Are you trying to disobey the Divine Daoist’s order as well?” King Yanluo questioned the High Priest.
However, the High Priest reacted calmly to King Yanluo’s words. “The Underworld needs a new Divine Daoist.”
His words and his actions clearly stated his intention.
The High Priest wanted to assist Chu Kuangren to become the new Divine Underworld Daoist and rule over the Underworld!
The thought fueled jealousy in the Hellion Temple Kings’ hearts.
“Why?! Why are you siding with Chu Kuangren? Why must you disobey the ancient order of the Divine Underworld Daoist just to make him the new Divine Daoist?
“Damn it! Why is everyone siding with him? Hua Wuai, the High Priest, everyone is helping him! Is it because he has the same Heavenly Samsara Physique as the previous Divine Underworld Daoist?” King Yanluo shouted his questions. His eyes were bloodshot as he glared at Chu Kuangren.
Nevertheless, the High Priest ignored him. A mere Arch Gilded Immortal was no threat to him even if the other party was a Perfected Arch Gilded Immortal elite.
He came solely because of the Yanluo Forefather.
“I see. That’s why the Ghost Emperor has the confidence to attack Yincao. It’s because he has your support, High Priest,” Yanluo Forefather looked at the High Priest coldly.
Only an Embodier could fight an Embodier.
Could that be Chu Kuangren’s ultimate plan?
“Yincao has crossed many lines throughout the years, and I believe you people will make a move against the Underworld Arbiters sooner or later just so you can rule the Underworld. Rather than sit back and watch, I might as well choose my own Divine Underworld Daoist,” the High Priest said as he stared at Yanluo Forefather.
“Hmph. I’ve underestimated you. I always thought you were the kind of person who would blindly follow the rotten rule set by the Underworld Arbiters. Who would have thought you’d change,” Yanluo Forefather said. However, he did not deny the High Priest’s words.
Yincao had been planning to annex the two other Underworld cities in recent years, and the Underworld Arbiter was the biggest obstacle.
They originally planned to develop for a little longer and strike after the Battle of the Heavenly Champion ended.
However, who would have thought that Chu Kuangren’s arrival would bring forth the High Priest?
“You and I both cultivate the Samsara Dao, but I have always wondered who is stronger. You or me?” Yanluo Forefather said.
“I have the exact same thought,” the High Priest said.
Then, the two of them disappeared into the void.
The sky above Yincao exploded as soon as they clashed. Everyone could vaguely see two ancient rivers clashing in the void.
The rivers contained vast and endless Daoist law, which was actually the energy manifestation of two Samsara Daos.
The clash between two complete Samsara Daos was mystical, and it captured the attention of many Arch Gilded Immortals. Everyone glued their eyes to the fight with admiration.
However, they were still on the battlefield, and they did not have time to waste.
“Charge!”
Fengdu and Yincao’s armies resumed their battle.
Further away, at Taishan Underworld City, all their great ones became restless upon noticing the High Priest’s presence.
“The High Priest did it?”
“I can’t believe that the Underworld Arbiter would side with Fengdu Ghost Emperor. If that’s the case, Yincao would be over, and we would be next.”
“No!”
“If the Underworld Arbiter wants a new Divine Underworld Daoist, it must be someone from Taishan!”
The great ones of Taishan argued.
In the end, they decided to deploy their army to aid Yincao.
“Hmph. Fengdu Ghost Emperor, I’m coming for you.”
An Arch Gilded martial general grunted when he received the order.
He was Guan Shan, whom Chu Kuangren defeated back at the Yasha Tribe territory.
He led three hundred thousand troops forward and marched toward Yincao.
In fact, not only Guan Shan was deployed, but even the other martial generals were mobilized.
The war between the three Underworld cities had finally begun!
