Defeated on the level of power?
Upon hearing Saxton’s account, the Great King Gao Xiongsuo’s heart churned incessantly. Amansur’s Bloodline Power is formidable; even he couldn’t easily bring him down. What kind of humanoid being could blast Amansur apart?!
Though Gao Xiongsuo had a belly full of questions, there wasn’t much Saxton could explain, as most of it was deduced from the battle.
"So the Netherworld God is also severely injured at the mont?" Gao Xiongsuo finally reconfird this point.
Upon hearing this, Saxton let out a bleak laugh, "Big brother, we three brothers are all injured this badly. If the Netherworld God was unhard, the first thing I should have said to you would have been to retreat, to go back to the Eighteen Realms."
Gao Xiongsuo nodded and then turned around, saying no more, and left the blood pool.
Just as he stepped out of the healing blood pool, Gao Xiongsuo was surrounded by other Realm Kings.
"Big brother, how are the fourth brother and the others now?"
"Yes, big brother, what exactly happened in the Constant Domain? Why did the three of you suddenly rush back like this, and upon returning, imdiately enter the blood pool to recuperate?"
Regarding the many questions from the Realm Kings, Gao Xiongsuo also recounted the things he had seen and the information he had received.
Upon hearing this, all the Realm Kings fell silent. Damn, since when did such a powerful Divine Master appear in this remote place like the Constant Domain?
"Big brother!" At this ti, the eighth Realm King, the only female Realm King, Xu Ruman, spoke up, "I think it’s ti for us to invite the Demon Beast lineage to join this grand event of the heavens."
As soon as these words were spoken, the Realm Kings present all fell silent.
Wherever there are people, there’s conflict, and the sa goes for beasts. At the end of the Primordial Era, those humans driven into the Eighteen Realms lived miserably under the oppression of the Demon Beasts. Even though almost all humans eventually beca half-blood, half-beast, they were still naturally alienated from true Demon Beasts. When the first top-tier Divine Lord appeared under the night sky of the Eighteen Realms, it marked the true rise of half-blood humanity.
They aggressively suppressed the Fierce Beasts, not expanding themselves much.
Thus began the ongoing human-beast rivalry. Of course, judging by the current situation where eighteen Realm Kings govern the Eighteen Realms, the half-blood Beastn have a definite upper hand. But who can guarantee that the Demon Beast lineage doesn’t have its own heritage? Moreover, the Eighteen Realms are vast. While the eighteen Realm Kings are said to rule a realm, there is at least more than half of the region shrouded in darkness, untouched by the Realm Kings’ power. How many powerful Demon Beasts live in those untouched dark lands? The ordinary people of the Eighteen Realms do not know, but the eighteen Realm Kings do.
It is precisely because the heritage of the Demon Beast lineage is too strong that the eighteen Realm Kings, who originally would compete fiercely with each other, ended up forming a brotherly alliance. This kind of union targets only two things.
Firstly, when attacking the Nine Domains; secondly, when facing those endless Demon Beasts hidden in the darkness.
The Realm Kings are proud. During this invasion of the Nine Domains, how could they bear to ask the Demon Beasts for help? That would rely make them the laughingstock of their mortal enemies for millions of years!
However, the unexpected events in the current Constant Domain battle have caused the remaining seventeen Realm Kings to panic.
Once, a Night King, leading the Night Hunting tribe, guarded the portal, preventing the Eighteen Realms from taking even a step into the Nine Domains for millions of years. Now, another appears, who, while may not yet surpass the Night King, might very well do so in the future. How could the seventeen Realm Kings possibly sit still?
The Netherworld God is already on their hit list. But to reliably kill the Netherworld God, they must possess more power. They need to constrain both the Nine Realms Dynasty and the Six Domains Alliance while freeing themselves up to deal with the Netherworld God.
And clearly, the seventeen of them are obviously not enough, haven’t they already tried once?
Thus, wanting to kill the Netherworld God, the Eighteen Realms must sit down with those Demon Beasts hidden in the darkness for a good discussion.
After a long pause, Gao Xiongsuo spoke, "Eighth sister is right, but who would like to go?"
No one volunteered in response to Gao Xiongsuo’s inquiry, as none of them wanted to confront those Demon Beasts—it was too humiliating for them as Realm Kings.
"I’ll go then." The eighth Realm King Xu Ruman looked around helplessly. "You all, as the saying goes, a real man should be flexible. You guys are a bunch of cowards."
Faced with Xu Ruman’s scolding, the other Realm Kings didn’t respond but rely saluted Gao Xiongsuo, "Big brother, we have other pressing matters, so we’ll take our leave first!"
After all the Realm Kings had left, Gao Xiongsuo called out to the last departing Xu Ruman, "Be extrely careful when you return to the Eighteen Realms this ti."
As he spoke, Gao Xiongsuo took out a still-beating bloodied heart.
This was a product of the rough alchemy technology of the Eighteen Realms.
"This item seals my full blow, enough to shake the heavens and the earth. If those Demon Beasts break their word, you can use this to carve out an escape path for yourself."
Xu Ruman refrained from modesty. Negotiating with Demon Beasts was not an easy task. Damn it, in the Eighteen Realms, killing for slight disagreents was common, and this included those who had reached the Divine Master Realm.
Therefore, during the negotiation with Demon Beasts, Xu Ruman might inadvertently say sothing that displeased those ancestral Demon Beasts, prompting them to surround and kill her.
"Thank you, big brother."
Gao Xiongsuo nodded slightly when he saw Xu Ruman take the heart, "Go early and return early."
Xu Ruman wasn’t one to waste ti, and she imdiately set off from Night Hunting Pass, heading towards Black Abyss.
Black Abyss is the necessary passage to the Eighteen Realms, essentially the only way, outside of those who can break the spatial barriers and forcefully traverse.
Upon descending from Black Abyss, the world inverted, marking entry into the territories of the Eighteen Realms.
The intersecting and splitting Black Abyss linked to the Lower Eight Realms.
The Eighteen Realms have a saying, which is the Lower Eight Realms, Middle Six Realms, and Upper Four Realms. This classification is based on the level of Spiritual Energy and richness within a realm.
Xu Ruman did not linger in the Lower Eight Realms but went straight to the Upper Four Realms.
After two months of long travel, Xu Ruman finally arrived at the first major realm, the world controlled by Gao Xiongsuo.
Here resided the oldest, most authoritative ancestor of the Demon Beast lineage, the Sky-splitting Beast.
The Sky-splitting Beast, with a lion head, snake tail, and dragon scale body, resembled the Qilin of Lu Hong’s forr world.
Delving into the dark zone not yet controlled by the Realm Kings, Xu Ruman quickly sensed several powerful presences lurking around her.
In response, Xu Ruman did not want to waste ti entangling, her bloodline activated, the giant serpent coiling to the sky, her vast crimson blood energy like a beacon in the night, illuminating thousands of miles.
The Fierce Beast Blood Soul summoned by Xu Ruman naturally scared off those Fierce Beasts intending to ambush her, while also awakening the sleeping Sky-splitting Beast.
"Little one, did Gao Xiongsuo not tell you not to disturb this old man’s sleep?" A deep voice ca crashing from tens of millions of miles away, rippling through the heavens and earth, causing countless Fierce Beasts to crouch, trembling.
Hearing this, Xu Ruman gathered her blood energy and loudly replied, "Sky-splitting Ancestor, I am the eighth Realm King Xu Ruman, ordered by the Great King Gao Xiongsuo to negotiate with the Demon Beast lineage to share the Nine Domains’ prosperity."
"Oh?" The Sky-splitting Ancestor seed to let out a light laugh, and then said, "In that case, co over."
After speaking, he fell silent.
But then a blood-red line stretched across thousands of miles, directly in front of Xu Ruman.
This was the guide given by the Sky-splitting Ancestor.
Following this red line, Xu Ruman spent another half-month dashing, before arriving at the Slumbering Grounds of the Sky-splitting Ancestor—the Great Chasm.
It was rumored that this Great Chasm was created when the Sky-splitting Ancestor was slamd down by a divine being of the Primordial Era. The severely injured Sky-splitting Ancestor did not leave in a hurry but recuperated on the spot, and as a result, never managed to return to the Nine Domains.
Illuminated by her own blood energy, Xu Ruman saw a gigantic eyeball coldly staring at her.
Rumbling, rumbling.
With quaking booms shocking the heavens, a head as large as a mountain range rose.
"Little girl, tell your demands."
Indeed, the Sky-splitting Ancestor was not one for superfluous words.
Upon hearing this, Xu Ruman thought for a mont, then said, "The heavens have Nine Domains. If conquered, the Demon Beasts can be given two domains."
Hearing this, the Sky-splitting Ancestor didn’t rush to express an opinion but instead continued, "Which two domains?"
"Constant Domain and Burial Domain."
"Haha!"
