Chapter 903: The Spirit Race Again?
"Haha, new Lord, how have you been?" Venerate Ye Chui chuckled.
The three peak Venerates beside him all had different appearances, but they were all very strong.
Without exception, the Dark Venerates on the Nine Calamity Star cultivated the great path of saint blood and the path of nine calamities. The strength of their physical bodies was outstanding even in the high-dimensional cosmic.
"The four Lords have graced me with your presence. Sorry for not throwing you a warm welcome," Wang Ye smiled.
"I've long heard of Eternal Lord's name, and I've always wanted to pay my respects," Venerate Wu Ya said.
"That's right. I've often heard Ye Chui mention you. All of us want to get to know Eternal Lord." Venerate Tu Ai said.
"We should familiarize ourselves with each other. There will be many opportunities for us to work together in the future," Venerate Chi Man said.
Wang Ye nodded.
Previously, when he killed Venerate Taibei, the four Lords were still watching from the sidelines.
Now that five years had passed, all the Venerates in the territory who would challenge him had already done so.
He had used his actual battle results to secure his position as the new Lord, so they had come together.
"The four of you are too polite. Please take care of me in the future." Wang Ye naturally wouldn't point it out.
"Eternal Lord's place is rather deserted." Venerate Wu Ya looked around.
Other than the busy Ye Bian, there wasn't even a gatekeeper.
"I don't have time," Wang Ye said.
"Because you have to prepare for the fifth thunder calamity," said Venerate Ye Chui with a smile.
"Yes." Wang Ye nodded.
The four Lords weren't stupid. They knew how strong the thunderclouds above were.
"As expected of the highest grade of thunder calamity. The might of the fifth thunder calamity has already surpassed my sixth thunder calamity back in the day," said Venerate Tu Ai with a sigh.
"Isn't this normal? Eternal Lord can kill a peak Venerate while only being an Eternal Lifeform. Who among us can do that?" asked Venerate Chi Man.
"Isn't that so? When Eternal Lord breaks through to become a High Dimension Lord and passes his sixth thunder calamity, his combat prowess will probably be comparable to Venerate Hang," said Venerate Ye Chui.
Wang Ye listened to the compliments of the four Lords.
Those who didn't know better would think that the four Lords were very harmonious and kind.
These were all peak Venerates who had fought their way out of the chaotic Nil Emperor Realm.
Although they were allies, they schemed against each other.
Back then, when Venerate Ye Chui saw him kill Venerate Taibei, he did not help at all.
They were smiling at him now because he was strong enough.
When one was strong, one would be surrounded by friends.
"How about this? I'll be in charge of making the announcement. I'll represent the four of us to help Eternal Lord recruit experts," Venerate Ye Chui said.
"I'll be in charge of the reconstruction of Eternal Lord's encampment," Venerate Tu Ai said.
"I'll transfer some Eternal and Undying slaves over," Venerate Wu Ya said.
"If you guys do everything, what should I do?" Venerate Chi Man rubbed his head. "I got it! I'll help Eternal Lord guard your fifth thunder calamity."
"I won't trouble you. I'm going to Tranquil City for the thunder calamity in a while," Wang Ye said with a smile.
The four Lords looked at each other but didn't say anything.
It was very normal. One had to be wary of others.
"However, I'll have to trouble everyone else with the other matters." Wang Ye wouldn't reject all their good intentions.
After all, obtaining the recognition of the four Lords could save him a lot of unnecessary trouble. It would be easier for everyone to get along if he received some benefits.
"It's a small matter."
"Haha, Eternal Lord is too polite."
"Leave it to us."
The four Lords beamed with joy.
"Oh right, there's something I want to ask everyone. I heard that the high-dimensional battlefield is open," Wang Ye said. "I'm very interested. How do I join?"
"Speaking of which," Venerate Ye Chui said, "Taibei and I had already gathered elites and were preparing to head out. We didn't expect you to appear and disrupt our plans."
"Later on, we even discussed who should replace Venerate Taibei, but no one was interested," said Venerate Chi Man.
"Why? I heard that the reward this time is very high," Wang Ye asked.
Venerate Tu Ai sneered. "The ones in charge of the high-dimensional battlefield are those from the Hades Star. We from the Nine Calamity Star are outsiders, after all. We can't participate in the main battle, not to mention that we're just ordinary members in the Nil Emperor Realm."
Wang Ye nodded.
To put it simply, Hades Star was the main force.
The experts from the three great Emperor Realms of the Nine Calamity Star were the elite and support troops.
These scattered soldiers would be sent to fight guerilla battles at most.
In particular, the alliance territory was the lowest faction in the Nil Emperor Realm.
"So, is there anything special about this high-dimensional battlefield?" After beating around the bush, Wang Ye asked the most important question.
"It's all because of that high-dimensional race that has revived." Venerate Wu Ya said disdainfully, "Why don't they take a look at themselves? They were almost annihilated during the War of the Divine Spirits, and yet they still want to make a comeback? They must be dreaming!"
"The Spirit race is suspected to be in the second Death Realm," Venerate Ye Chui said. "A large number of Sky King Corps have entered. The situation is a little chaotic and out of control. Therefore, the Hades Star has issued a battlefield assembly order."
The Spirit race again?
Wang Ye was shocked.
What was the Spirit race trying to do by developing in the low-dimensional cosmic and causing destruction in the high-dimensional battlefield?
Of the three Death Realms in the high-dimensional battlefield, the first realm belonged to the Sky race, while the second realm was with the Dark race.
Normally, they didn't interfere with each other, but now that the Sky race was attacking the second realm, the Dark race would not just sit still and wait for death.
"I'm interested. I have an irreconcilable feud with the Sky race," Wang Ye said to the four Lords. "Can you give me a spot?"
The four Lords looked at each other and couldn't help but smile.
"That's exactly what I want. We were just having a headache over who should accompany Ye Chui," said Venerate Tu Ai.
"They're all scared to death. None of them are willing to accompany me." Venerate Ye Chui shrugged.
"It's decided then," Wang Ye said with a smile. "We'll set off immediately after I return from Tranquil City."
"Alright," Venerate Ye Chui said with a smile.
...
After the discussion was over, the four Lords immediately took action.
Wang Ye left Taigao Palace alone.
He returned to the familiar Tuba Desert.
He surely would not return to Tranquil City where King Tuning was probably waiting for him, eager to cut him into pieces.
He still had to say those words though.
The Dark race of the Nine Calamity Star didn't care about morals. They always carried out sneak attacks after thunder calamities. Who knew if the four Lords would do the same?
After all, one's true nature couldn't be seen from one's face.
It was better to be careful.
The yellow sand was endless.
Dark red thunderclouds boomed with thunder.
Wang Ye kept provoking the new thunderclouds. It had been five years since he killed Venerate Taibei, and the fifth thunder calamity was about to descend.
He was also prepared for a new round of transformation.
Boom!
The familiar crimson soul-destroying thunder descended.
Wang Ye's top-rank basic standard saint body endured it, and the green light of the great path of life helped him recover.
The thunder was very strong but also very nourishing!
This was the Nine Calamity Star's innate saint thunder, and it was of the highest grade.
The more his body absorbed, the more innate energy he could convert to nourish his body, and the faster his strength level increased.
He could withstand it!
Wang Ye controlled the crimson soul-destroying thunder in his body and felt the increase of his innate energy.
There were a total of 5945 thunderbolts.
In the blink of an eye, the first wave of nine thunderbolts ended.
There was no time to rest. The second wave began very quickly!
Its power multiplied, but the absorption effect was also multiplied.
"Whoosh!" Wang Ye's Eternal body was gradually saturated with the absorption of a large amount of innate energy.
97%, 98%, 99%...
100%!
His Eternal body had reached its limit!
Boom! Like a hundred rivers converging into the sea, the innate energy flowed through his body, and his Eternal body entered a new level.
The sixth degree of the Eternal level!
It was even more tightly connected to his internal world, and an endless stream of energy surged in.
The highest degree in the medium Eternal level!
100-fold origin energy!
The Eternal body was filled with an intense thirst.
From 40-fold origin energy, it increased by 2.5 times!
For someone like him who cultivated the path of the primordial soul and had a 512-fold Eternal body, his foundation became even more terrifying.
Coupled with the current 10000-fold body enhancement from the path of nine calamities, his power was heaven-defying.
Moreover, this was not the limit!
The third wave of thunder calamity arrived.
After breaking through, his Eternal body was brimming with vitality. It allowed him to absorb more, and his strength level continued to rise, constantly climbing.
However, the pressure gradually increased as well. The crimson soul-destroying thunder was getting stronger and stronger.
"Let's block first." Wang Ye was very cautious.
Not only did he want to pass the fifth thunder calamity steadily, but he also had to maintain his combat prowess to avoid being ambushed.
The last three bolts of thunder were the most powerful.
Clang! True Treasure Temple enveloped him.
Its illusion flashed and the energy was strong.
Wang Ye seized the time and quickly recovered.
The fourth wave continued!
Wang Ye once again used his Eternal body to withstand the increasingly violent thunder.
His slightly recovered Eternal body absorbed more nutrients.
When the fifth thunderbolt fell, Wang Ye decisively summoned True Treasure Temple again.
Boulder Defense!
Mystical engravings appeared.
With a solid defense, Wang Ye was unscathed.
Finally, the fifth wave!
The strongest nine thunderbolts!
Wang Ye didn't take the risk to absorb it anymore.
True Treasure Temple's defense was impregnable with the help of the Rubstone Armor.
However, the crimson soul-destroying thunder was a double blow.
Boom! His soul trembled.
Wang Ye's willpower protected him while he activated the Blood-Eyed Mackerel.
Although it was an attack-type soul treasure, it could also strengthen the soul.
Attack against attack!
It was not just the great path of the soul, but also the great path of the body.
Boom! Wang Ye used Divine Origin Nirvana.
The innate great path of the primordial soul strengthened and transformed his body.
Wang Ye wielded the Perish Saber and slashed at the dark red thunder.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The first three bolts of calamity thunder quickly ended.
The intensity was no less than the fierce battle with Venerate Taibei.
The dark red thunderbolts were instantly destroyed.
The green light from the great path of life enveloped him again. Wang Ye's combat prowess was bursting.
In the blink of an eye, the middle three bolts of calamity thunder ended as well.
"Phew..." Wang Ye let out a sigh of relief.
He siphoned energy and consumed immortal herbs to recover.
Boom! The last three bolts of calamity thunder descended.
Pa! Wang Ye activated two rounds of Divine Origin Nirvana.
His body expanded once again, and his killing intent was awe-inspiring as his willpower erupted. Not only did it strengthen his physical attack, but it also enhanced his soul attack.
Wang Ye withstood the calamity thunder.
The Mirror Breaking Saber was invincible.
Boom!
He used both Two-headed Four-arms and the crimson soul-destroying thunder, the perfect combination of material and energy.
A head-on clash, an extreme explosion.
Thunderclouds rolled in the sky as the last bolt of dark red thunder fell.
Clang! Weapons clashed.
The clouds dispersed with a bang, showing the sun.
The sky was bright.
Wang Ye held his saber and his fighting spirit was at its peak.
He raised his head and looked at the disappearing red thunderclouds and the faint aura that had disappeared. His eyes were shining.
His body was enveloped in crimson soul-destroying thunder, and his Eternal body underwent a drastic transformation.
His physical body was strengthened 100,000-fold.
Fifth thunder calamity, passed!
