"Haha, foolish Netherworld people, a treasure like the Thunder Emperor Token is not sothing despicable creatures like you can control!"
A burst of laughter suddenly erupted from the Thunder Emperor Token, and the owner of that laughter was none other than the Thunderclan leader, Lei Quan.
"That damned old dog!"
The faces of Qian You and the others were extrely unsightly. This Lei Quan had actually hidden a piece of his will within the Thunder Emperor Token, and at this crucial mont, he trapped them.
"Haha, this ti you’re finished! The Netherworld Ancient Tree is dood, and you, Son of Disaster, thinking you can survive by colluding with the Netherworld people, how ridiculous!"
Lei Quan kept laughing, his eyes filled with ridicule and mockery when he looked at Ye Xuan.
"Destroy that old man!"
Long Shan, the most hot-tempered among them, threw a fierce punch, intending to crush the will of Lei Quan hiding in the Thunder Emperor Token.
Bang!
A bolt of lightning clashed with Long Shan’s fist, dissolving the force of the punch instantly. The Thunder Emperor Token, however, used this power to shoot forward.
"Haha, thanks for giving a hand! You bunch of fools, you’re about to die."
Lei Quan’s laughter grew even more unrestrained. He had heavily injured the Netherworld Ancient Tree, and it likely wouldn’t last a few days; his taunts had rcilessly humiliated this group of Netherworld people. Clearly, today, he was the biggest winner.
The next step would be to await his true form’s arrival with the strong warriors of the five great clans.
Just as everything was proceeding according to his plans, a faint voice suddenly reached his ears, "Aren’t you celebrating too early?"
"What?"
Lei Quan’s laughter halted abruptly, and just as he was about to speak, a giant hand that seed capable of covering the sky appeared above his head. This hand, carrying supre authority, effortlessly grasped the Thunder Emperor Token in its high-speed flight and held it tightly, rendering it completely immobile.
"How is this possible?"
Lei Quan looked utterly incredulous. Even Long Shan couldn’t stop him, yet this black hand easily pinched him?
"Hmph, kid, didn’t I tell you not to disturb over trivial matters?"
The owner of that giant, sky-covering hand was none other than the remnant soul of the Netherworld Ancestor residing in the Heavenly Emperor Netherworld Stone.
No matter how domineering the Thunder Emperor Token was, it couldn’t make any waves in the hands of the Netherworld Ancestor, a Fake God.
"Apologies, senior, the situation was urgent. If we hadn’t summoned you, this Netherworld Ancient Tree would be destroyed. I’m sure you wouldn’t want to see that happen either."
Ye Xuan spread his hands and said.
"Netherworld Ancient Tree?"
The Netherworld Ancestor’s eyes flickered with surprise, then fell upon the Netherworld Ancient Tree, and his expression changed considerably.
There was only one Netherworld Ancient Tree in the entire Ancient World, and he knew this well. After all, he was the Netherworld Ancestor, the Ancestor of the Netherworld people, and no one understood the Netherworld Ancient Tree better than him.
"Are you... the Netherworld Ancestor, sir?"
The four of Qian You seed to turn to stone, staring at the Netherworld Ancestor’s figure. After a long while, they cautiously approached, suppressing their excitent, and asked.
The Netherworld Ancestor was a mythical-level figure among the Netherworld people, akin to the status of the Ancestral Dragon within the Dragon Clan, sacred and inviolable.
It was like seeing one’s ancestor; how could they not be excited?
"You useless lot, to fall to such a state? Being so humiliated by a human, you’re about to lose the Netherworld Ancient Tree, you’ve completely disgraced !"
The Netherworld Ancestor’s expression was sowhat unsightly, and he imdiately scolded them angrily.
Back in his day, the Netherworld people stood as a superpower in the Ancient World. The combined human and demon races could barely contend with the nurous alien clans led by the Netherworld people. But to think that after thousands of years, the Netherworld people had fallen to such a state.
The four of Qian You rely bowed their heads bitterly, not daring to retort. After all, the Netherworld Ancestor wasn’t wrong; the current situation of the Netherworld people was indeed quite embarrassing.
"We hope the Netherworld Ancestor would lead us to restore the forr glory of our clan."
Hei Yu and the others quickly said.
"Restore glory, my ass! I’m as good as dead, barely surviving by relying on the power of the Heavenly Emperor Netherworld Stone, I can’t help you, don’t count on ."
The Netherworld Ancestor said indifferently.
Hearing these words, the four of Qian You couldn’t help feeling sowhat disappointed. Thinking about it, it made sense; even the Fake God from thousands of years ago had reached the limit of its lifespan.
"I think we should first resolve the issue of the Netherworld Ancient Tree."
Seeing the disappointnt in Qian You and the others, Ye Xuan gently reminded them.
"Right, the Five Thunders Extinguishing Life Curse must be eradicated imdiately, otherwise the Netherworld Ancient Tree won’t survive." The four of Qian You snapped out of it, a look of urgency once again appearing on their faces.
"Let do it."
As soon as the words fell, the Netherworld Ancestor unexpectedly volunteered and then extended his palm, drawing the Thunder Emperor Token into his hand.
"Netherworld Ancestor? You’re just a remnant soul, and you still think you can turn the tide, how ridiculous!" Lei Quan’s voice erged again from the Thunder Emperor Token.
"Truly noisy."
A gleam of cold light flashed in the Netherworld Ancestor’s eyes, and then a wisp of black light seeped from his fingers into the Thunder Emperor Token. Shortly after, a twisted will was forcefully extracted, it was Lei Quan’s will.
Pop!
The Netherworld Ancestor rely clenched his fist, and Lei Quan’s will exploded, like a firecracker.
After dealing with Lei Quan’s will, the Netherworld Ancestor casually tossed away the Thunder Emperor Token, then pointed at it mid-air again. Instantly, the runes erupted, releasing a terrifying suction force that drew out strands of lightning from within the Netherworld Ancient Tree.
Centered around the Thunder Emperor Token, countless arcs of lightning snaked out like small serpents, absorbed into the Thunder Emperor Token. anwhile, inside the Netherworld Ancient Tree, the Five Thunders Extinguishing Life Seal swiftly disintegrated under this absorption.
"The Five Thunders Extinguishing Life Curse is lifted!"
The faces of Qian You and the others lit up with joy. The Five Thunders Extinguishing Life Curse was like a parasite in the Netherworld Ancient Tree; its removal ant the tree was saved.
"It’s not enough, the damage to the Netherworld Ancient Tree is too severe. Even with the curse gone, it might not hold on for long."
Hei Yu still wore a worried expression.
"Do you need to say more?"
The Netherworld Ancestor glanced at Hei Yu unsatisfied, and the latter fell silent, not daring to speak further.
Having said that, the Netherworld Ancestor ford a Hand Seal, and between his hands, a peculiar energy converged, taking the form of a seed. Under the spellcasting of the Netherworld Ancestor, the seed quickly swelled, and then the Netherworld Ancestor tossed it into the Netherworld Ancient Tree.
The next mont, the once withered trunk of the Netherworld Ancient Tree ca back to life, with cracks and scorch marks nding at a visibly rapid pace, all disappearing without a trace.
