Chapter 1989
1989 Dark Demonic Forbidden Lands, Warlord Li Tu, A Massive Blow
There was a place in the Void Battlefield poisoned by a strange black mist.
Chu Kuangren and his handpicked team finally arrived at the place.
Staring at the black mist before them, the team felt chills down their spine.
The place was huge, but the black mist only blanketed less than half of the land, and they were being sucked deeper inside.
“This is the Dark Demonic Forbidden Lands. These black mists are the demonic tides. They originally covered the entire place, but since it’s receding now, only less than half of them is left.
“The rest are being sucked deeper inside but not for long. Soon, the demonic tides will occupy the entire Forbidden Lands again. We must seize this chance to awaken the Peerless Warlords,” Hong Yang explained.
With that, the team moved out.
Even though the Forbidden Land’s demonic tides were receding at the moment, the remaining tides continued to obstruct their movements.
Chu Kuangren tried to touch the demonic tides, but the moment his finger got close, terrifying chills exploded in his heart as if he had fallen into a bottomless abyss.
Fortunately, he managed to escape the dark place with his strong willpower.
“This place is strange,” he muttered to himself.
Xu Wu was studying the black mist as well. “They seem to contain a sign of vitality. Are they alive?”
“I have no idea,” Hong Yang said with a shake of her head. “I might have been here for a while, but no one knows where the demonic tides come from or what they really are.”
Xu Wu pondered as he stared into the darkness.
“Let’s make our time count.”
The team continued forward.
Suddenly, further ahead in the direction that they were heading, a vast energy fluctuation erupted, followed by an excruciating scream echoing in the sky.
“Ba Shen! Argh!”
Shocked, the team quickly went forward to have a look.
They arrived in front of a mountain ridge, and the place had a lingering presence of a domineering aura. There were also many Embodier Fragments scattered around.
Hong Yang’s expression turned gloomy. “These Embodier Fragments belong to the Peerless Warlord we were supposed to awaken. He has fallen…”
The unfortunate news made everyone’s heart clench.
“Let’s go. We must find the rest of the Peerless Warlords.”
The Peerless Warlords were important combatants to both universes.
Losing any one of them meant a great loss to the respective universe.
Hence, the team made their way to the next location.
They arrived in front of a lake. Due to the constant corrosion by the demonic tides, the tainted water was as black as ink.
The lake was where the Peerless Warlord slumbered.
Without further ado, Hong Yan revealed her treasures in preparation to awaken the Peerless Warlord.
One of the treasures had powerful water-attribute energy, the other one was a ball of fire, and there was also a pitch-black staff.
The treasures contained energy that could resonate with the slumbering Peerless Warlord and wake him up.
Hong Yang performed a mystical hand seal.
Streaks of light swirled around the treasures before they slowly sank into the lake.
A while later, the lake’s surface started to bubble.
Then, a figure burst out from the water. It was a black-haired man wielding a pitch-black staff. His eyes were as bright as the glimmering stars.
A powerful aura could be felt following his appearance.
Multiple Dao intertwined in his body, and Chu Kuangren could sense that all his Daos were at the Perfected level.
The Peerless Warlords were indeed something else.
“Hahaha! I, Li Tu, have finally returned!”
The Peerless Warlord, Li Tu, laughed loudly.
He then looked at Chu Kuangren and his little team.
“I see you were the ones who woke me up. You have my thanks.”
Li Tu landed in front of them and expressed his gratitude.
“There’s one more Peerless Warlord ahead. Let’s move,” Hong Yang said hurriedly.
Therefore, the group and Li Tu moved on to the next location.
Somewhere else in the Dark Demonic Forbidden Lands, two God Kings from the Central Heaven Universe were awakening their own universe’s Peerless Warlord.
One of them performed mystical hand seals, sending strange runes into a mountain.
Kaboom!
The mountain exploded all of a sudden, and a tremendous aura erupted from within.
A man with strange runes on his face emerged from the rubles.
He had a strange but domineering energy swirling around him, and he wielded a scepter in hand.
There was also a black crown on his head.
The man looked at the God Kings who woke him and asked grimly, “The Nether God is dead? Who killed him?”
The Nether God was the God that the Nether King Tribe worshiped, and the tribe was founded based on the God’s ideals.
The Peerless Warlord with the strange look was the Nether King.
He was the strongest cultivator of the Nether King Tribe other than Nether God, and he was the reason why the tribe was thriving until today.
That was why the tribe named themselves after him.
The Nether King represented the entire tribe.
“It’s a long story. Nether King, why don’t we awaken the Titan Deity and Emperor Skylord first?” the God King said.
“Fine.”
The group moved on to the next destination.
…
Chu Kuangren and his team were almost at the final destination, where the last Peerless Warlord slumbered, but they were one step too late.
When they arrived, all they saw was a destroyed mountain valley, plus some shattered Embodier fragments.
The devastating scene silenced everyone.
They only managed to wake one Peerless Warlord out of the three.
The other two had fallen.
It was a massive blow to the Pan Gu Universe.
“Damn it! How did they know where the Peerless Warlords were slumbering?” Hong Yang said through gritted teeth.
She spent years pinpointing the location, yet the Central Heaven Universe already knew them.
“It’s Six Eyes,” Li Tu said.
“The Central Heaven Universe has eight Peerless Warlords. One of them is named Six Eyes. He’s a master of the art of deduction. He’s the reason why we suffered terribly during the last universal war.
“I believe it is he who deduced the location where we slumber.”
Chu Kuangren pondered when he heard Li Tu’s explanation.
“Hahaha! You’re all here.”
Then, a loud laughter came from above the sky.
A man in black armor appeared before them.
His powerful aura descended from the sky and swept across the land.
“Ba Shen!”
Li Tu and Lu Jun recognized him at first glance.
They were all the Peerless Warlords from the previous universal war, so they knew each other all too well.
“You killed the Peerless Warlord who lies here!”
Raging flames surged around Hong Yang. Her fiery red hair danced along the scorching energy, but her gaze was cold.
“Oh? Judging from your aura, if you were at the previous universal war, you might be conferred a Peerless Warlord title.”
Ba Shen was slightly surprised when he saw Hong Yang.
Hong Yang, however, did not respond verbally. Instead, she summoned her crimson blade and slashed it at Ba Shen.
The fiery red flames instantly distorted the void.
The flaming saber qi contained the aura of multiple Daos.
Ba Shen dared not underestimate his opponent either. He lifted his punch for a powerful counterattack.
The energy fluctuation of a certain kind of Fully Realized Overlord Physique expanded outward.
It was so powerful that it crushed the saber qi.
“I shall kill you here to avenge the fallen Peerless Warlords!” Hong Yang was overflowing with killing intent.
“Do you really think I come here alone?” Ba Shen grinned coldly.
Behind him, spiritual energy from the void suddenly swept the field, and multiple tremendously powerful auras erupted, filling the entire area.
