The Heaven-shattering: Starting from Simulating Becoming an Emperor

Chapter 28: The Shocking Underworld
A great saint came forward to report: "Over the years, we have eliminated thirteen of Shenxu's minions. Several great saints have formed a team to keep an eye on Shenxu in the Big Dipper Star Region. We are ready to keep in touch at any time."

They watched Shenxu's every move from afar. If any cultivator came out of Shenxu, it would be hard for him to escape the eyes of several great saints.

And every time the minions of Shenxu are discovered, several great saints will encircle and suppress them. Unless they are protected by imperial soldiers, the people of Shenxu will not be able to escape at all.

Most of the pond raised by the owner of the magic power has also been explored. According to the Great Sage, they easily found many traces of the magic power based on the guidance of the magic monks who came to seek refuge.

He then drew a star map, where each dark and bright dot represented a star that had been polluted by demonic power.

After years of development, the methods of dealing with Shenxu have become systematic and diverse, and many methods have been derived to restrain the masters of evil powers.

"Okay, keep going. If there is any major movement in Shenxu, report it in time and prepare to evacuate."

Zhang Huan told the other party to be careful as he was going out soon.

If the master of the evil power can't bear it anymore and suddenly rushes out with the emperor's soldiers, the Demon Court will be wiped out without the great saints being prepared. We have to be on guard.

The Demon Court still lacks the most top-notch foundation. Zhang Huan cannot always stay in the headquarters. If there is an imperial formation to protect it, there will be nothing to worry about.

Using the power of stars as a formation, Zhang Huan hid the stars where his headquarters was located and left quietly.

To reach the Quasi-Emperor level means that one has almost reached the pinnacle of cultivation. It is extremely difficult to make further progress. Unless there is help from good fortune, it is common to stop at the previous level after a hundred years of cultivation.

If one wants to improve quickly, looking for opportunities is the best way. Zhang Huan had previously improved to the third level of Quasi-Emperor in one breath, and had already used up all his resources.

If he wants to improve quickly now, he can only rely on external help to accumulate enough foundation for him in a short period of time.

Relying on his memory, Zhang Huan headed towards a coordinate and first found the underworld.

In my impression, the underworld has always had some plans and has made careful arrangements on a battlefield. The secret is far more complicated than it seems.

Taking this opportunity to find out the truth, and then making a killing in the underworld, with a few more corpse pills, he will be able to break through to the fourth level of Quasi-Emperor.

The Underworld is a wealthy and powerful place, and the peerless medicine it extracts is extremely effective and is of great help to the Emperor.

Without further ado, Zhang Huan headed to the Canglan Star Region.

This place has been turned into a battlefield for hundreds of years. Various forces have poured in, each setting up their own camp, investing countless people, and fighting continuously.

Such madness is all for a magical plant that shocks the world and makes ghosts cry - the Demon God Flower.

Even the underworld is fighting fiercely, with new supplies and monks pouring in all the time. The big forces are scrambling for them, and it has only calmed down recently, but even so, frictions continue.

This is one of the hottest places in the universe, and is as famous as the ancient road.

Here Zhang Huan saw the flags of all the major holy places in Beidou. The Tyrant Clan and the Golden Clan almost included all the top forces in the universe. They were all competing with each other, and no one was willing to give in for the Demon God Flower.

There used to be some small forces here, but as time went by, they either withdrew or were gradually swallowed up, leaving only giants.

The underworld occupies an ancient star, which is full of death and easy to recognize. A chain of laws connects it to a half-destroyed emerald green ancient star.

The same is true for other forces. The territories they occupy are also connected to the Ancient Emerald Star by chains of laws, and they protect this half-destroyed planet together.

On this half-ruined ancient star in the center, several extremely powerful auras are circling, without interfering with each other, as if they have reached some kind of tacit understanding and are living in harmony.

"This is where the Demon God Flower is, and it's about to mature!"

Apart from the rocks and cracks on the planet, there was only one four-colored divine flower floating in the sky. It was almost mature and exuded fragrance. Zhang Huan speculated that it would be fully mature within a few years.

Looking at the chaos in the star field, there were star fragments and traces of fighting everywhere. The most important habitat of the Demon God Flower was destroyed. It was obvious that the various forces were fighting fiercely, and even the Demon God Flower was almost wiped out.

I wonder if this brutal battle is related to the Jida war in previous years.

No matter what, it seems that the major forces have reached a consensus to protect the Demon God Flower. They have set up some kind of restrictions and left a backup plan to guard the Demon God Flower together.

It's the chain of laws and it's guarded by the emperor's soldiers themselves. It's obvious that they shed blood to protect the Demon God Flower.

In this way, at least the Demon God Flower can be kept safe until it matures.

But I don’t know how these forces will compete and determine the final winner.

Zhang Huan guessed.

Judging from the temperament and character of these forces, Zhang Huan felt that even if there was a winner, it would not end well, and a shocking war would probably break out.

They are all people who can and dare to turn the table over. The current scene of checks and balances is just the calm moment before the storm.

Zhang Huan hid in the void and quietly approached the ancient star occupied by the underworld.

There is a domain gate below that reaches directly to the sky, and the five-colored altar covers most of the ancient star.

This is the domain gate that guides the monks from the underworld. It is paired with the underworld, and the symbols of laws on it match.

The rest of the place is where the monks live. The underworld has a strict hierarchy, and monks are ranked according to their levels. The lowest monks can only live in mortal houses.

The higher the level, the better the place to live. Looking into the distance, there were great sage-level fluctuations in the deepest place, overflowing in a hall, and there was more than one person.

The aura of a quasi-emperor was not revealed.

Zhang Huan pondered that considering the huge wealth and status of the underworld, it would be unreasonable if there was not a single quasi-emperor here.

Among the cultivators who had traveled with him previously, there was a quasi-emperor of the underworld, and he was carrying an imperial weapon. That was more than ten years ago.

By this time, the quasi-emperor of the underworld must have been ready. He must have some method to conceal his aura, but he just hasn't revealed it.

The atmosphere of a giant star has a defensive formation, and any random entry would arouse alert, so Zhang Huan stayed in the void above the underworld.

Looking around, he did not find the black bird egg that he had heard of in the underworld. It was probably being strictly guarded by the quasi-emperor of the underworld. After all, it was a serious matter and closely related to the plan of the underworld, so it was understandable that the vigilance was strict.

After waiting for a while, the domain gate on the planet began to shine, and the five-colored altar was guiding them. Zhang Huan sensed that several people were quickly crossing the void and being teleported here.

The strength of these people varies, but they all come from the underworld!
Most of them are foreign saints who have joined the underworld. They are full of vitality, unlike the native people of the underworld who are entangled in deathly aura, but they all have sadness on their faces.

Before Zhang Huan left the underworld, someone told him that nine out of ten people sent to the battlefield by the underworld were outer saints, and they had noticed something was wrong.

After such a long time, they are still sending out outside saints. People who don’t know the inside story can sense that something is wrong.

Zhang Huan separated a wisp of his soul and hid it in a small tripod that could isolate spiritual consciousness. He used divine magic to attack these foreign saints when they were crossing the void, and hid behind a saint in the blink of an eye.

He did not choose a cultivator with a too high realm. Although he would know more, he would also be more likely to be exposed, which would arouse the vigilance of the underworld and would be counterproductive.

This group of monks arrived at the ancient star smoothly. As soon as they came down from the five-color altar, they were taken to the camp. They were restricted and could not resist. They performed their respective tasks obediently. As time passed, Zhang Huan learned a lot of information.

There is indeed an agreement between the major forces that every once in a while, they select monks from two forces to fight on the battlefield. There are monks of all levels, and the purpose is to consume each other and compete with each other's foundation.

Whichever side can't hold on any longer will leave, otherwise it will continue to take turns.

It was a very vicious scheme, forcing all the major forces to start making serious moves before the Demon God Flower matured, so that they would be less powerful when fighting for the Demon God Flower.

It goes without saying that this rule was initiated by the underworld.

Only they would not take the lives of high-level cultivators seriously. The underworld has fought several battles and suffered heavy losses, but they still enjoy it.

If the parties continue to fight, the damage will be too great. Some forces secretly staged fake matches. The underworld knew about it but did not expose it, and continued to use the outer saints to exchange the lives of the monks of other forces.

"What a dark heart."

Zhang Huan secretly complained that there was not a single good person in the underworld.

No wonder they let the foreign saints go to the battlefield. They are using them as consumables and are reluctant to give up their own Hades generals.

Once they arrive at the battlefield, they will be controlled and become no different from war slaves, only able to follow orders, with even their life and death being decided by others.

Looking at other forces across the void, the fluctuations of the Great Sage level are not even enough to match the number of forces. Perhaps they have suffered heavy losses and cannot compare with the profound foundation of the underworld.

In this way, the underworld's advantage will be even greater, after all, the number of cultivators crushes other forces.

Zhang Huan looked at the several supreme imperial weapons on the ruined planet in the center.

"However, in the end, it all depends on the war between the Yakuza."

Even if other forces are weakened and there are extremely powerful imperial soldiers to suppress them, it will not be so easy for the underworld to reap the final rewards.

Suddenly, Zhang Huan looked into the distance intently.

His sight met with the imperial soldier's, looking into the deeper void.

Several shattered pieces of planets exuded an aura of origin that was difficult for ordinary people to detect.

这 是
Zhang Huan hid his body and observed closely. There was no one on the fragments, but he found some source magic marks at the core.

Zhang Huan was alert that someone had been here and carved these things. He couldn't tell what their function was. The divine symbols carved on them were very simple and a beginner could learn them with hard practice.

Following the trajectory of the source technique, several more marks were discovered. Together with the marks in other directions, they formed the hub of a large source technique formation that was operating all the time.

It is alive and has been activated at some point.

Zhang Huan traveled all over the star field, investigating carefully one by one, and discovered that the person behind the scenes was very skilled and more proficient in the way of source arts than Zhang Huan. This large source art formation covering an entire star field would be extremely powerful if it were a killing formation.

After studying every detail, it was found that this source technique formation was not offensive and had reached the pinnacle in terms of isolating breath and spiritual consciousness. Its real function was to cover up another layer of formation.

Such a large formation is only used to deceive the eyes. Even a quasi-emperor like Zhang Huan who has profound attainments in source art was almost deceived. How terrifying would the other large formation that it covers up be?
"I see. The Underworld has some good tricks."

Zhang Huan caught a hint of aura, a similar one he had sensed on the ancient star formation occupied by the underworld on the battlefield.

That magic array covered the most critical center of the array, and was of the same origin as the super array covering an entire star field. Neither of them was offensive, and perhaps it was the key to controlling the array.

When the demon god flower matures, all the major forces turn their attention to the center and come to snatch it, and the underworld releases the formation that has been prepared long ago.
The underworld dared to prepare so quietly, obviously wanting to make a big move, and even ignored a few imperial weapons. It was so cruel, perhaps it was hiding a real imperial formation.

It is still unknown whether there are other backup plans, but if the underworld dares to do this, it must have its plans.

It’s horrifying to think about it. What the underworld is planning in this world is so shocking, it’s unprecedented.

No wonder they tried their best to consume all the major forces and use the outer saints to fill their lives. This is to let everyone die in this star field in order to achieve the goal of the underworld.

It's all a trap. The underworld has already made all preparations, waiting for the monks from various forces to join in, and then showing its fangs at the most critical moment.

The meteorite under his feet suddenly reacted. White light suddenly appeared from the mark of the source technique. It was decomposing, and was about to reveal a corner of the shocking killing formation. Zhang Huan retreated explosively.

In the distance, in the center of the battlefield, where the Demon God Flower is located, thousands of divine chains of order pierce through heaven and earth, dropping light that is dazzling and illuminating the sky!

No one expected that the Demon God Flower would bloom at this moment.

Petals bloom, thousands of auspicious colors, tens of thousands of rays of light, incomparably magnificent, all kinds of ripples spread, constantly evolving the most original Tao.

The four colored divine lights of earth, wind, water and fire are interwoven on the flowers, making them brilliant and dazzling, with petals raining down, sparkling and filled with fragrance.

Once it blooms, the fragrance is rich and fragrant, attracting people's hearts. It contains the power of heaven and earth, is spiritual, and has a strong breath of life.

Several supreme imperial weapons revived at the same time, and the imperial aura filled the air. After waiting for a long time, the final moment arrived.

On the other side, in the ancient star occupied by the underworld, several quasi-emperors showed strange smiles and looked at the black bird egg covered with dark divine patterns.

The black bird is originally an auspicious beast between heaven and earth, but at this moment it exudes an evil aura, with the smell of death and decay emanating from it. The black patterns on the eggshell flicker like breathing, letting people know that this is not a dead egg.

"The dead spirit took possession of the black bird egg, devoured the life inside before it was born, and inherited everything from it."

A quasi-emperor laughed, his voice cold and hoarse.

Although its origin would be damaged and it could not compare to the real Xuanniao, with the sacrifice of the flesh and blood of thousands of great monks, it was devoured and transformed into the Undead Xuanniao. With the Demon God Flower to complete its foundation and cultivation with secret techniques, its potential is also unlimited.

This atavistic black bird egg that we obtained with great difficulty must be put to good use.

The top officials of the underworld, including the Lord of the Underworld, have high hopes for him.

For this, they were willing to offend some extreme forces. Most of the high-level cultivators in the universe came from large forces, and now they were gathered together and would become the origin of the Dead Spirit Black Bird.
If the underworld could produce another emperor, all the living beings in the universe would be within easy reach.

The world will become a paradise for the undead and corpses, and the ancient stars will recreate the scenes of the ancient times when corpses ran rampant. This is exactly what the quasi-emperors of the underworld are pursuing.

In the eggshell, a faint voice wailed, seemingly unwilling to dissipate, trying its best to make a final resistance. The golden Dao pattern had already faded to its original place.

Unfortunately, no one responded to it, and the quasi-emperors laughed crazily with their eyes wide open.

"The extreme killing array brought from the underworld cannot be escaped even by the imperial soldiers, and..."

The source magic formation collapsed, shaking the starry sky, and a complete imperial formation appeared in the horrified eyes of everyone.
