#629 - The answer is simple, I opened
A long time passed.
It wasn't until King Chujiang arrived on the bone ship that Jiang Ming emerged from his haven of warmth.
The Scarlet Queen followed behind, her skin radiant and glowing, looking bright and charming. It was clear she had been well-nourished and was still immersed in a special afterglow.
Her appearance caused King Chujiang and the eight great ghost gods to glance at her, but they quickly averted their gazes.
They thought to themselves that their old man really had the leisure for such things. In a while, they would probably have another half-sibling.
Nearby.
The heroic female ghost's gaze also fell on the Scarlet Queen, her lips slightly pursed, with a hint of jealousy in her eyes.
She had not anticipated this rival in love.
However, on second thought, even she was attracted and fascinated by the heroic demeanor displayed by Jiang Ming, so it was even more so for other female ghosts.
The man she had her eye on was bound to be the perfect mate for all female ghosts.
It was only natural for such a perfect man to be surrounded by beautiful women.
Thinking this way.
Her expression gradually relaxed.
There was no other way.
She was the dream ghost of all the geniuses in the entire Underworld Empire. Even the high and mighty ruler, the Underworld Emperor, would use his power to forcibly take her as a concubine. If she wanted to compete, the Scarlet Queen would definitely not be her match.
This was the confidence of Di Nuyi, the imperial daughter.
Jiang Ming did not investigate the thoughts of the ghosts. He swept his gaze around and saw nine mountain peaks in the distance. The peaks were enclosed together, each one reaching straight into the sky, as if to pierce the firmament and extend beyond the Celestial Abyss.
"That's the resurrection site?"
Jiang Ming said with interest.
With his ghost array professional skills, he could only see that the nine mountain peaks in the distance each contained a ghost array, which, combined with the special geomantic environment, formed an array within an array, unifying the whole and evolving into a super-large array covering hundreds of thousands of kilometers.
As for what the function of the array was, he couldn't tell.
King Chujiang nodded: "That's right. This is a divine-level ghost array jointly set up by the Celestial Evolution Ghost Emperor and the four ghost emperors who were still struggling at the time. It's called the Yin-Yang Reincarnation Array. The nine mountain peaks are Yang, and the Celestial Abyss is Yin. When the time is ripe, the Yin-Yang Reincarnation Array will be activated, inverting Yin and Yang, reversing Yang into Yin, and transforming life and death, achieving a resurrection that can be called a miracle."
Speaking of this, the Lord of the Tenth Hall of the Underworld was full of amazement in his tone.
He was marveling at the heaven-defying nature of the Yin-Yang Reincarnation Array.
Using the entire Celestial Abyss as a game to set up a resurrection plan spanning hundreds of thousands of years, such a move can be said to be unprecedented.
The Celestial Evolution Ghost Emperor is worthy of being one of the ten legendary ghost emperors of the past.
Jiang Ming listened, his eyes flickering.
Suddenly.
He suddenly thought of something, his eyes staring straight at the scarlet light spots floating in the sky above the Celestial Abyss. Those were the blood and flesh of the former participants.
"So that's how it is. The opportunity for this Yin-Yang Reincarnation Array is blood sacrifice, similar to the resurrection methods in the Blood Sea inheritance."
The Blood Corpse was stunned. How did this involve his former master?
His former master was just an ordinary Calamity-level ghost god, who hadn't even opened up a divine kingdom. How could he have participated in a ghost emperor-level resurrection plan?
To this end.
He was deeply skeptical.
One second he was thinking this.
The next second, King Chujiang gave an affirmative reply. He sincerely praised: "Father, you are indeed knowledgeable.
I have studied this Yin-Yang Reincarnation Array before, and the core is indeed blood sacrifice. The initial purpose of establishing the Celestial Abyss was to leave a legacy to benefit future generations of ghosts. The five remaining ghost emperors hid behind the scenes, selecting successors, but for some reason, since the enemies from beyond the heavens found the Pure Land World, the geniuses of the Pure Land World have withered, and a suitable successor has not been selected for several epochs. At this time, the deduction path of the Celestial Evolution Ghost Emperor ushered in a new breakthrough, and he found a glimmer of hope in the dark, which led to the current resurrection plan."
Although they had not experienced the dark years of the past, they could imagine the desperate atmosphere at the time just from the descriptions.
Once "" descends again, they, these Nightmare-level minions, will be swept away by the aftermath before they even have a chance to take the field.
This is the Sword of Damocles hanging over their heads.
The eight great ghost gods looked at Jiang Ming, at their father, who was also their backbone.
Jiang Ming chuckled, comforting them with a very calm expression: "Relax, I'm here."
With his current foundation and the 1v10 level skill [Devour], he will be able to advance to the Ghost Emperor level in a few days. If he absorbs all the revived nine great ghost emperors, not to mention Ghost Emperor, even surpassing Ghost Emperor is not necessarily impossible.
With such confidence, even if this "He" really descends, he has enough ability to cope.
Not to mention, he also has a cheat.
Hearing this.
The eight great ghost gods were indeed relieved.
Even the heroic female ghost and King Chujiang, the second generation of the heavens, felt a different degree of peace of mind when they heard this sentence.
Soon.
The bone ship finally reached its destination.
It landed at the junction of the nine mountain peaks.
It was a valley full of strange runes, reflecting a blood-red color. The source of the blood-red color was a sea of blood, thousands of times larger than the blood lake that Jiang Ming had seen in the Blood Sea inheritance land.
This scale of the sea of blood, the interior does not know how many ghost gods' blood and flesh contained.
It is no exaggeration to say that it is a ghost god slaughterhouse.
Jiang Ming was amazed.
He couldn't wait to see the revival of the nine legendary ghost emperors, becoming the raw materials for his promotion to the ghost emperor.
Just then.
A cold shout suddenly came.
"Tenth brother, what a big shelf you have. How dare you make so many of us wait for you alone. Have you not figured out that you are just the Lord of the Tenth Hall, not the Lord of One Hall. What qualifications do you have to make us wait for you?"
As the voice sounded, a ghost shadow soared into the sky and landed in front of the three thousand ghost generals and the bone ship, condescendingly looking down.
His words were even more unkind.
As if making things difficult.
Jiang Ming looked over.
The speaker was a ghost who had three points of similarity with King Chujiang, with a pair of ghost arms that glowed with a cyan-gray luster, and the words "equal" and "waiting" were engraved on both sides of the robe on his chest.
Without a doubt.
This is the Lord of the Ninth Hall of Yama, King Equality.
The Yin energy fluctuations on the other person's body were comparable to King Chujiang, both at the Pseudo-Emperor level. To be specific, they were at the peak of the Fourth Order Ghost God. They only needed to complete their Divine Kingdom to take it a step further and be promoted to Ghost Emperor.
"Ninth Brother, the ceremony hasn't started yet. You guys are just early. I'm not late. Also, don't block my team's path. If you startle my distinguished guests, you can't bear the responsibility."
King Chujiang took a step forward.
Standing in front of King Equality without showing any weakness, his voice was cold.
As the ten Yama Kings chosen by the Underworld Emperor to succeed the Ten Halls of Yanluo, there were bound to be some frictions between them. The Underworld Emperor allowed them to fight among themselves, sometimes even fueling the flames, watching them fight openly and secretly.
King Equality was a typical example.
He always wanted to suppress him, preventing him from jumping from the Tenth Hall to the Ninth Hall.
Therefore.
Whether it was a major or minor matter, this Ninth Yama King would always nitpick at him, creating trouble out of nothing.
Before, he would have tolerated it. Anyway, the other party would only engage in verbal sparring.
But now it was different.
His biological father was still on the Bone Ship.
Their identities couldn't be exposed, but that didn't mean he would stand idly by and watch his biological father suffer difficulties and obstacles.
"Ninth Brother, move aside. I don't want to waste time with you here."
King Chujiang spoke again.
His momentum was pressing.
The Yin energy fluctuations belonging to the Pseudo-Emperor level also swept out.
Moreover.
Because he had conceived a second type of High-Level Divinity and obtained the blessing of the Yin Wood Divine Body, the Yin energy coercion on King Chujiang's body was several times stronger than before. Just releasing the Yin energy fluctuations completely overwhelmed King Equality.
Causing his Yin energy to become chaotic.
Instantly.
King Equality's expression changed.
His eyes were filled with surprise and suspicion.
The Ten Halls of Yanluo were ranked according to strength. The higher the ranking, the stronger the strength. The first five Yama Kings didn't need to be mentioned. They were one or two levels higher than them, so they couldn't compare.
The strength of the last five Yama Kings was basically the same, with limited strength.
But...—
Even if the strength was limited, it was still strength.
Under normal circumstances, the Lord of the Seventh Hall could not defeat the Lord of the Sixth Hall.
By the same logic.
It was impossible for the Lord of the Tenth Hall to surpass the Lord of the Ninth Hall.
But now, this Tenth Brother had silently surpassed him, creating a considerable gap between them.
How was this possible?
Could there be any resources in Tianyuan that could allow a Pseudo-Emperor level Ghost God to greatly increase their strength in a short period of time?
King Equality shook his head frantically.
The most precious thing in Tianyuan was the Ghost Emperor inheritance, but the existing nine Ghost Emperor ruins were all here. The only one missing was the inheritance of the Nether Soul Ghost Emperor.
However, in such a short period of time, even if a true Ghost Emperor entered, it would be impossible to obtain the inheritance, let alone his Pseudo-Emperor level Tenth Brother.
King Equality racked his brains for a long time, but he still couldn't figure out how King Chujiang surpassed him.
It couldn't be that a divine-quality resource fell from the sky and just happened to hit him on the head, right?
"You---Tenth Brother, well done. No wonder your airs have grown, daring to make us wait for you. It turns out you were brewing a big move to wait for us. Looking at you, it seems like you're going to challenge Second Brother."
King Equality took a breath and couldn't help but sow discord.
Among the ten Yama Kings, King Guang and King Yanluo were undoubtedly the leading big brothers. Apart from that, the strongest was undoubtedly King Chujiang of the Second Hall.
He was also the commander of this operation.
Responsible for coordinating everything.
His strength had infinitely approached the Ghost Emperor.
He was truly the number one ghost under the Ghost Emperor.
Once King Chujiang took notice of him, his Tenth Brother's life would not be easy.
Sure enough.
Hearing King Equality's description, a faint blue ghost shadow above the sea of blood slightly raised its head, its beard and eyebrows flying.
It was imposing without being angry, and the blood vessels on its body were clearly visible. What flowed was no longer blood, but a viscous liquid.
"Tenth Brother, since you brought distinguished guests over, why don't you let us meet them? You should know that this operation cannot afford to fail. What exactly do you want to do by privately bringing a target outside of the mission?"
Hearing this.
King Chujiang responded calmly.
Because he knew what his father's purpose was for coming.
Combining the Origin Crystals was the ultimate goal, and the premise for implementing this goal was to control the Tianyan Ghost Emperor.
In other words.
His father's purpose conflicted with the Underworld Empire's plan.
Once exposed, his father would probably be targeted and killed in advance.
Thinking of this.
King Chujiang prepared to act unreasonably.
Anyway, his image in the eyes of other ghosts was that of an absurd spendthrift. It was common for him to do things his own way.
It didn't matter if he disobeyed orders now.
However...
Just then.
Jiang Ming stood up and exposed himself in front of the other Yama Kings.
"You want to see me? I'm right here."
Upon hearing this.
Including King Chujiang, the seven Yama Kings all focused their attention on Jiang Ming. With just one glance, they made the same judgment as King Chujiang back then.
"Human? A human who has reached the Pseudo-Emperor level? What a joke!"
The seven Yama Kings were all shocked.
Their expressions were exactly the same as King Chujiang's back then.
Their faces were full of disbelief.
They were not unaware of the emerging species of humans, but they were just too lazy to pay attention to them.
It was like if a new species of ants appeared in the ground, humans would not deliberately observe them.
But now...
An ant king had silently emerged from the ant nest, not only undergoing genetic mutations but even possessing power comparable to humans.
This was too absurd.
Making it hard for them to believe.
For a time.
The seven Yama Kings all looked at Jiang Ming with a surprised and uncertain look.
As if they were looking at some rare species.
To this.
Jiang Ming's expression was calm.
He pointed to the sea of blood and said: "Instead of being concerned about me, why not look at the sea of blood? I'm already here, and the smell of blood is so strong. It's obvious that it has reached the standard. How could the time for resurrection not have arrived yet?"
King Chujiang was stunned for a moment, then frowned: "What do you humans know? The scale of the blood sacrifice is not enough.
We still need to kill another batch of ghosts. It will take a month at the earliest, and half a year at the latest...—"
Before he could finish speaking.
The sea of blood began to surge.
The flesh floating in the sky above Tianyuan seemed to appear out of thin air, constantly merging into the sea of blood.
The nine mountain peaks also shattered in response at this moment.
Revealing the blood cocoon wrapped inside.
The blood cocoon became more and more scarlet, beating violently like a heart. Every time it beat, the lake water of the sea of blood would drop a layer, constantly absorbing the energy that had been nurtured for tens of thousands of years.
Seeing this scene.
King Chujiang was stunned for a moment.
"What's going on? Why did the Yin-Yang Reincarnation Array automatically activate? We haven't投入血珠, why is there enough energy in the sea of blood?"
A series of doubts appeared in the minds of the seven Yama Kings.
Regarding this doubt.
Jiang Ming knew it well.
Because he had activated it.
[The host has triggered the cheat effect.]
[The target has been specified.]
[The lv5 skill [Question] has been restored to its peak state.]
[Question: When you question something, that thing will gradually become reasonable.]
