787 -700: Twilight of the Gods

It must have been fate that Rogue Heart Sword Hero and Hei Kui were not destined to die just yet.

Just as Rogue Heart Sword Hero and Hei Kui were ready to turn around and face off against that group of Soul Beasts in a fierce battle, suddenly a streak of light flew from the edge of the sky, piercing straight down through the group of Soul Beasts.

However, these Soul Beasts were Soul Bodies and did not suffer any actual damage.

Nevertheless, they were startled by this unexpected attack, lifting their heads one by one like frightened birds to look towards the sky above.

Hei Kui and Rogue Heart Sword Hero also looked up.

They did not have to wait long, for five figures descended from the heavens, positioning themselves between the Soul Beasts and Hei Kui and Rogue Heart Sword Hero.

“Haha, I wondered who else could possess such fierce Sword Qi besides me, turns out it’s Brother Po Jun.

Brother Po Jun, it’s been a long time since we last parted,” even though these five people had their backs to Rogue Heart Sword Hero and Hei Kui, Rogue Heart Sword Hero recognized them at a glance.

Upon hearing this, Po Jun immediately turned around, clasped his hands with a smile, and said, “Brother Sword Hero, indeed, it has been a long time.

Now’s not the time to talk; let’s deal with these troublesome Soul Beasts first, then we can catch up in detail.” After speaking, he turned back around, and the five exchanged glances before transforming into five streaks of light that shot out.

These five individuals were the members from the Myriad Gods Hall who had ventured into the Fallen Tomb this time.

Domain Lord Bu Rechen, Guardian Proud Cloud Longbow, Sword God Po Jun, Divine Oracle Zhibei, and the Myriad Gods Totem Wangchuan.

The five of them, in the form of five streaks of light, swooped down, and within a moment, they had returned to the front of Hei Kui and Rogue Heart Sword Hero—all within no more than the time it takes to brew half a cup of tea.

Looking at the Soul Beasts again, they had been wiped out completely.

Rogue Heart Sword Hero was inwardly shocked, wanted to say something, but still held back.

Sword Hero’s indecisive appearance was naturally noticed by Po Jun.

“Brother Sword Hero, if you have something to say, don’t hesitate.

By the way, let me introduce everyone—I need no introduction.

This is Domain Lord Bu Rechen from our Myriad Gods Hall, this is Guardian Proud Cloud Longbow.

This one is the Myriad Gods Totem, Wangchuan.

And Zhibei, Brother Sword Hero already knows, so no need for introductions.” After Po Jun finished speaking, Rogue Heart Sword Hero could not hold back anymore and said, “I’ve seen Lord Domain, I’ve seen Lord Guardian.

I am Rogue Heart Sword Hero from Netherworld World, I…

I…” Rogue Heart Sword Hero hesitated twice, but still did not ask the question.

Zhibei, who was beside him, slapped Rogue Heart Sword Hero on the shoulder and laughed heartily, “It’s been many days since we saw each other, when did Brother Sword Hero become so hesitant?

I know what Brother Sword Hero is curious about, and since it’s difficult for Brother Sword Hero to ask, I will answer directly.

Brother Sword Hero must be wondering about three things.

First, why are we here?

Second, how did we dispatch those Soul Beasts with just a few blows?

Thirdly, why do I, Zhibei, have Attack Power again?”

After hearing Zhibei’s words, Rogue Heart Sword Hero immediately clenched his fists in gratitude and said, “As expected of a Divine Oracle, you’ve guessed my thoughts perfectly.” Zhibei smiled and said, “The answer to all three questions is the same and it’s all thanks to Brother Wangchuan’s effort.

Brother Wangchuan has been a well-hidden powerhouse in our Myriad Gods Hall for a long time, carrying the Myriad Gods Totem and possessing a Totem God Pillar.

With it, Brother Wangchuan can ignore many of the restrictions of the Fallen Tomb.

Thus, we could sense the movements of half the Fallen Tomb.

Knowing that Netherworld World faced trouble, we immediately rushed to assist, but it turned out to be a needless worry, for the people of Netherworld World were not only unharmed but had also captured someone.

The reason we were able to quickly eliminate those Soul Beasts is also due to Brother Wangchuan, who allowed us to temporarily wield most of the different gods’ powers, thus boosting our strength dramatically.

And naturally, this is why!”

Zhibei’s straightforward explanation was extremely revealing; he did not treat Rogue Heart Sword Hero as an outsider and shared everything, and the implications were shocking.

Not just for Rogue Heart Sword Hero and Hei Kui, but likely all the forces across the universe wouldn’t have expected Myriad Gods Hall, long thought to be weak, to have such powerful individuals.

One Wangchuan might be a match for ten Heavenly Venerable powerhouses.

It was probably time for the Myriad Gods Hall to put all their cards on the table.

Truly, any force that could be called a Divine Kingdom was not simple.

The five from the Myriad Gods Hall, Domain Lord Bu Rechen and Myriad Gods Totem Wangchuan, were both at the Heavenly Venerable Mid Grade, while Zhibei, Po Jun, and Guardian Proud Cloud Longbow were all at the Heavenly Venerate Primary Stage.

Po Jun and Zhibei had not reached the Heavenly Venerate level by the end of their Heavenly Patrol trials, but probably later on, because of Wangchuan, their Cultivation made significant leaps.

Everyone had their own fortuitous encounters—even Rogue Heart Sword Hero saw significant increases in strength via chance happenings, and the others were not willing to fall behind.

After a round of warm greetings, they found a spacious cave and had an in-depth discussion.

“Brother Po Jun, there’s still something I don’t understand.

I once obtained a Heavenly Patrol Order from someone captured by Lord Yue Huangquan, which can sense the location of others’ Heavenly Patrol Orders.

So why didn’t I feel the five Heavenly Patrol Orders from you folks?

Otherwise, I would have known you were coming to rescue me sooner,” Rogue Heart Sword Hero explained.

He and Hei Kui had been paying attention to the Heavenly Patrol Order while fleeing, hoping to encounter nearby allies.

But despite everything, they saw nothing, even though the people from Myriad Gods Hall were not far from them.

This meant that either the Heavenly Patrol Order was malfunctioning or the Myriad Gods Hall’s people had some special method!

Zhibei glanced at Bu Rechen, and then several people from the Myriad Gods Hall shared a smile.

At that moment, Bu Rechen spoke, “Sword Hero Brother, why don’t you take out the Heavenly Patrol Order and have a look at it now.” Rogue Heart Sword Hero didn’t understand what Bu Rechen meant, but he still did as suggested, taking out the Heavenly Patrol Order.

After infusing it with Spiritual Power, a very rudimentary map of the Fallen Tomb appeared above the Order.

Rogue Heart Sword Hero looked at Bu Rechen with confusion, to which Bu Rechen smiled and said, “Would the Sword Hero Brother please count how many Heavenly Patrol Orders are currently inside the Fallen Tomb?” Rogue Heart Sword Hero was puzzled — with six from each of the Six Great Divine Nations, that would be thirty in total.

And, considering that the ten from Myriad Demons Country and the Underworld God Annihilation Nation didn’t show up, there should only be twenty visible.

He nodded and said, “This single one should be from Brother Hei Kui previously, and these four are from our Netherworld World.

To our due north, there are five at some distance, and five more to the west.

Huh?

Why are there five missing?

Could it be…” Rogue Heart Sword Hero truly couldn’t believe his own guess.

This time, it was Po Jun who spoke, “Unexpected, right?

A true man who seeks to accomplish great things should be prepared to risk his life.

Our five Heavenly Patrol Orders were destroyed as soon as we entered the Fallen Tomb.

What do you think of that kind of boldness, Sword Hero Brother?

That’s something you could learn from.” Po Jun had hardly finished when Proud Cloud Longbow, the always silent Guardian of the Myriad Gods Hall, seemingly unable to bear it any longer, patted Po Jun’s shoulder and said, “You’re proud of that?

If it hadn’t been for Lord Zhibei uncovering the secret of the Heavenly Patrol Order, do you think you would have had the heart to destroy it?

Who was it who hesitated for so long before destroying it?”

Proud Cloud Longbow, with his handsome looks, didn’t appear frail at all; instead, he exuded a straightforward and refreshing aura and seemed quite young.

Moreover, one could sense from his words that he was close to Po Jun.

Po Jie laughed awkwardly and said, “Will I die if you don’t expose my shortcomings?

Don’t mind him, Sword Hero Brother.

Anyway, what are your plans next?” Rogue Heart Sword Hero smiled knowingly and said, “What plans could we have?

We’ll try to find Lord Yue Huangquan and the others; otherwise, just the two of us will end up dead at the hands of a Soul Beast eventually.”

Po Jun then chuckled, “No worries, let’s stick together.

With Zhibei and Wangchuan here, finding Lord Yue Huangquan shouldn’t be difficult, and it’s also good to have each other’s support.

According to Zhibei’s calculations, this Fallen Tomb is extremely dangerous, and we probably have more than one enemy, so it’s better to stay united.” Rogue Heart Sword Hero and Hei Kui didn’t really have any specific plans, and, having lost Divine Sense’s ability to scout in an unfamiliar place, they were completely in the dark, so meeting up with the Myriad Gods Hall was already a stroke of luck — naturally, they didn’t refuse the offer.

Thus, a group of seven set off together after Wangchuan had determined the route.

Wangchuan bore the Totem God Pillar, a tremendously formidable artifact.

Speaking of this artifact necessitates bringing up the ancient battle.

Before the final showdown of the Ancient War, all the pioneers and strong fighters gathered in the advanced Fallen Tomb and swore a blood oath to not rest until the Underworld Venerate was destroyed.

The way they swore the oath was by dripping a drop of their Essence Blood onto the Totem God Pillar inscribed with their own clan’s totems.

Almost all of the combatants dripped a drop of their Essence Blood, resulting in the Totem God Pillar, adorned with myriad clans’ totems, absorbing countless drops of Essence Blood and becoming a Supreme Treasure.

The benefits conferred by this Supreme Treasure were not just limited to that time; all those who dripped their Essence Blood received about a thirty percent increase in strength during the battle against Underworld Venerate’s forces.

This increase was comprehensive, affecting speed, strength, Spiritual Power, defense, etc., which meant that, with equal Cultivation, the Pioneer side’s strength was thirty percent greater than the opposition’s, causing the scales of victory to tip in their favor from the outset.

However, once the Underworld Venerate became aware of this, he sent over a hundred supreme fighters who, at the cost of their lives, ultimately destroyed the Totem God Pillar, but not without all of them sacrificing themselves in the process.

But unnoticed by all, the Totem God Pillar had developed an Artifact Spirit in that brief period, and although the pillar was destroyed, the Artifact Spirit miraculously survived and went into Concealment.

After the war ended, the Artifact Spirit began to piece together the shattered Totem God Pillar slowly, taking more than five hundred thousand years to reconstruct it.

And Wangchuan, during one of his ventures into the Fallen Tomb, obtained this Totem God Pillar, swiftly enhancing his Cultivation through it.

Since the Totem God Pillar contained the Essence Blood of almost all the Pioneer fighters, all of the Pioneers’ surviving spirits within the Fallen Tomb became Wangchuan’s Doppelgangers, making the tomb’s usual pressures on mortals virtually ineffective against him.

Wangchuan could be said to be the result of Bu Rechen’s countless efforts and grooming, existing specifically for the Fallen Tomb.

This also clandestinely illustrates that Domain Lord Bu Rechen of the Myriad Gods Hall is not a man who settles for mediocrity; while countless others stir the tumultuous waves, Bu Rechen has been arranging his chess pieces in the dark, and his strategies have given the Myriad Gods Hall an upper hand in this iteration of the Fallen Tomb.
