Asura Mad Emperor-Chapter 686: The Intent of the Ghost Race
The five Supreme Saint Experts of the Ghost Race had all been slain by Qinchuan alone.
Afterward, Qinchuan turned his gaze towards Er Rengu and Feng Hongyi, his killing intent chilling to the bone.
Although the Human Race had no direct conflicts with the Ghost Race, the Ghost Race was constantly conspiring to emerge from the Underworld and return to both the Divine Wilderness Continent and the Divine Realm, undoubtedly encroaching upon the interests of the Human Race, resulting in a long-standing enmity between the two.
Therefore, both men understood that their actions in serving the Ghost Race would be utterly unacceptable to the myriad of cultivators on the Divine Wilderness Continent.
Er Rengu and Feng Hongyi were shaking in their boots, something they had not at all anticipated.
Having just escaped from the clutches of the Ghost Race, they thought they had found a strong backer, but in the blink of an eye, the five powerful Ghost Race fighters had fallen, and their support was gone.
This young man who seemed to have appeared out of nowhere clearly intended to take their lives.
Having been no match for the five Supreme Saint Experts, where would they find the courage to even think of resistance?
Right then, they couldn't help but kneel and repeatedly kowtow, "Young Master, spare our lives! Young Master, have mercy!" they cried out, terrified.
"Hmph, spare you?"
"It seems you still do not grasp the gravity of the mistake you've committed."
Qinchuan said coldly.
Ye Yu was merely a cultivator with half Human Race and half Ghost Race blood. Under his rule for tens of thousands of years, the Spirit Dragon Holy Land had become a wasteland, akin to Purgatory.
And the calculated plot by Elder Night, Er Rengu, and the three great families was to open the channel between the Divine Wilderness Continent and the Underworld.
If the Ghost Race's scheme were to succeed and the channel truly to open, it was hard to imagine what state the Divine Wilderness Continent would be plunged into.
Saying this, Qinchuan raised the Chi Yue Spear in his hand, brimming with thunder and lightning, poised to thrust it forward.
"Young Master, spare our lives, we know of the Ghost Race's scheme; they have not yet opened the channel, there's still time to stop them!"
Er Rengu cried out urgently, his forehead streaming with cold sweat.
"Oh, do tell, by what means does the Ghost Race intend to open the channel between the Divine Wilderness Continent and the Underworld?"
Qinchuan's interest was piqued, and the spear in his hand stopped, hovering above their heads without striking.
"If either of you utters a single falsehood, I shall straightaway destroy your True Spirits," Qinchuan declared coolly, causing both men to tremble violently once more.
"Yes, yes, we dare not, we will tell all that we know," both Er Rengu and Feng Hongyi nodded fervently, eager to comply in unison.
"Young Master may not be aware, in this Ancient Realm, the wills of four Ancient Ghost Emperors are preserved!" Er Rengu said at that moment.
"The wills of Ancient Ghost Emperors?" Qinchuan nodded in acknowledgment. It was no wonder, as this Ancient Realm was originally a private haven for the Ghost Race and Demon Race, with wills of mighty fighters from both races present.
At the same time, Qinchuan thought about the palace dome overhead, where a giant statue of a powerful Ghost Race fighter stood.
If there were no surprises, inside that statue rested the will of one of the Ghost Emperors.
Frowning, Qinchuan said, "Are these Ghost Race members trying to use the wills of these four Ancient Ghost Emperors to open the barrier between the two realms?"
Upon saying this, Qinchuan immediately shook his head.
"That cannot be so. Let alone the will of an Ancient Ghost Emperor, even when the true bodies of the Ancient Ghost Emperors existed, the Ghost Race couldn't open the channel. Now it is even less likely!"
"The Young Master is clear-sighted!" Feng Hongyi also couldn't help but step forward to curry favor, saying, "Indeed, these Ghost Race members never intended to use the wills of the Ghost Emperors to open the channel. Their real plan is to use the energy of this Ancient Realm to break open the barrier!"
"The energy of this Ancient Realm? The energy from the collapse and explosion of the Ancient Realm?"
Qinchuan was shocked in his heart, and he instantly understood.
This Devil Mountain Ancient Realm was born in the same period as the Divine Wilderness Continent, but the Divine Wilderness Continent seized creation, that's why it stopped evolving.
However, this Ancient Realm is different from the ordinary secret world's small universes, it is a completely formed small universe.
Although it has not evolved into a super world ancient domain like the Divine Wilderness Continent, it is still much higher in rank than small worlds such as the Spirit Martial Great Tomb and the Dao Palace Secret Realm.
If this Ancient Realm were to collapse and explode, the massive energy produced might indeed be sufficient to destroy the barrier.
But after all, this world is an Ancient Realm of a Kaitian existence, and the Dao has long been solidified, how difficult it would be to make this Ancient Realm collapse and explode.
By relying on some Great Emperor experts, it is definitely impossible to achieve this.
The sourc𝗲 of this content is freēwēbηovel.c૦m.
Moreover, these Ghost Race experts are at most in the Sublime Saint Realm.
With a sharp mind, Qinchuan thought to himself.
"So, the idea of these Ghost Race experts is to release the Ghost Emperor's will!"
The Heavenly Dao of this Ancient Realm limits everyone's cultivation level to only the Great Emperor Realm and under the Four Aspects Law, it is even only the Holy's Realm. If the will of the Ancient Ghost Emperor were to suddenly appear, it would certainly bring an impact to the Dao of this Ancient Realm.
If there were to be a battle that surpasses the warriors of the Emperor Realm, or even reaches the ancient race's level, it would not be impossible to shatter this Ancient Realm."
Qinchuan knew that during the great war of the Four Ancient Races, even the Divine Wilderness Continent had been shattered, turning into myriad fragments, creating the current Myriad Heavens and Worlds.
Shattering this Ancient Realm would be much easier compared to shattering the Divine Wilderness Continent.
"But, the Ghost Emperor's will does not attack each other, so who will they fight?"
Qinchuan immediately recalled the cages and Divine Race he saw along the way when he came here.
"These Ghost Race experts are probably eyeing the bodies of these Divine beings and Divine Beasts."
"Back when I acquired from the battlements of the Spirit Martial Great Tomb, even the ancient corpse with only one-tenth the bloodline of the Divine Race was able to move with its own determination. If the Ghost Emperor's will appears in this world, these Divine Race experts who have been imprisoned for countless years and passed away will also, driven by their powerful determination, naturally engage in a grand battle with the Ghost Emperor's will."
Indeed, at that moment, Er Rengu also continued to say, "Young master, did you see the imprisoned Divine Race experts along the way when you came here? These Ghost Race experts are currently using methods to release these Divine Beasts. If the Ghost Emperor reappears at that time, there will definitely be a great battle between the two sides."
"So, everything makes sense now."
Qinchuan thought to himself, although he had already guessed that the Ghost Race's goal would ultimately be to open the passage between the two realms, and return to the human world, this was the first time he knew the specifics of their plans.
But at this moment, Qinchuan suddenly thought of a problem.
"If that's the case, wouldn't it mean that I can no longer absorb the Soul Essence of the Undying Phoenix?"
The Undying Phoenix here was suppressed by the will of the Ghost Emperor; if he were to absorb the Soul Essence of the Undying Phoenix here, it would be as if he released the Ghost Emperor's will.
Releasing the Ghost Emperor's will and allowing it to engage in a major battle with countless Divine corpses is a scenario he wouldn't be able to prevent.
This dilemma caused Qinchuan considerable annoyance.
The appearance of the Detonation Fire Pearl gave him the opportunity to consume the Soul Essence of the Undying Phoenix.
However, under the current circumstances, if he were to consume the Soul Essence of the Undying Phoenix, he would undoubtedly be putting the entire Divine Wilderness Continent in danger.
Soul Essence of the Undying Phoenix, releasing the Ghost Race from the Underworld, it's a choice between two, and the decision was obvious.
He couldn't let the entire world of cultivators bear the consequences for his own sake.
Although by consuming the Soul Essence of the Undying Phoenix, it doesn't necessarily mean the Ghost Emperor's will would shatter this Ancient Realm.
But, he dared not gamble.
