At the altar.
The three statues remained motionless.
However, in the instant that faceless had fallen, the old man whose eyes had been glowing with a glint of hope earlier slowly said,""Faceless hasn't returned yet. Did sothing happen?"
In the space battlefield, the great Dao was not visible.
When Zhang Tao and the others killed the true Kings, the battlefield did not change much, but it was Raining Blood outside.
In that instant, the space battlefield trembled slightly.
Today, however, Fang ping had stepped into the origin source here, and it had already shaken him many tis.
Although the old man didn't know that faceless had died, he could still sense a faint sense of danger.
Did sothing happen to faceless?
After all, faceless had been sleeping here for far too long. It seed that there were many powerful experts on the other side who had joined forces to attack faceless. Perhaps they really would be able to injure faceless, or even ... Kill him.
As soon as the old man finished speaking, a statue of a strong man quickly said,""Faceless is a true God expert, while those people are only at the origin realm. Even if we remain in hibernation, they shouldn't be able to do anything to faceless!"
Faceless had indeed exhausted a great deal of his energy.
However, in terms of strength, he was still ridiculously powerful.
An ordinary rank-9 could really be killed with one punch. Even if one was at the ninth stage of origin source and did not have any special abilities, it would still be the sa.
Even the best rank-9 was certainly no match for faceless. In most cases, when a martial artist reached peak rank-9, their explosive power could only reach about 30000Cal.
Under such circumstances, the burly man didn't think anything would happen to faceless.
As the brawny man spoke, the last statue on the other side had the appearance of a woman.
At this mont, the woman also said,"let's wait a little longer!" Faceless hasn't made a move for many years, so he stopped for a mont in interest. "
When the old man heard the two of them say this, he also suppressed the uneasiness in his heart.
Logically speaking, an origin realm cultivator should not be able to do anything to faceless.
Faceless was different from di Hao. Di Hao's cultivation level had dropped, but faceless's cultivation level had not. He had rely run out of energy.
The two were different.
The old man didn't continue on this topic. He looked into the darkness and said again,""Those people have been waiting. We don't know if the divine envoy is among them, but he hasn't contacted us yet.
If we act rashly, we might accidentally kill the divine envoy. Do you two want to wait for faceless to return and make a move, or do you want to subdue these people now?"
About 20 miles away from them, a group of people was waiting, but there was no movent.
The old man was already getting impatient.
"Could the Oracle be in the other group of people?" the woman asked.
"Faceless will kill that person. If the divine ssenger is here, he will reveal his identity," the elderly man said slowly.
As for the one who had just advanced to origin, they did not think that he was the Oracle. The divine sect would not allow a warrior in the Golden body realm to enter this place.
The strength of an Oracle would not be weak!
……
The three of them were communicating via voice transmission.
In the darkness, 20 miles away from them.
Qi Huanyu frowned. He looked in Fang Ping's direction for a mont and then at the dim light ahead.
He could vaguely see sothing there.
"Did Fang ping and the others encounter strong enemies?"
As Qi Huanyu thought about this, he felt the slight movent of a battle.
Then, he looked at the dark area in front of him.
After a while, Qi Huanyu looked at the people he had brought.
At this mont, there were still more than 100 people left.
"How many of the two kings" n are there?"
"How many people are there from the various forces?"
Qi Huanyu sighed in his heart.
Before the fight for the treasure, everyone could still be in agreent.
"But there are too many forces in the catacombs!
One king, one faction!
When it was ti for the treasure hunt, they would escape after snatching the treasure, and there would be no need for them to act together.
He was afraid that not many of the remaining 100 or so people would listen to his commands.
"I can't snatch the treasure right away. It's best to defeat Fang ping and the others before snatching the treasure!"
Qi Huanyu ca to this conclusion after weighing the pros and cons in his mind.
If they didn't get the treasure, then everyone was one.
Once they got it, they would inevitably part ways.
"There should still be living people guarding the front ... I'm afraid it'll be troubleso."
Qi Huanyu had another thought. Perhaps he could join forces with Fang ping and the others to kill these people before fighting them.
Or perhaps ... He could team up with the people in front of him and kill Fang Ping's group before snatching the treasure?
As he was thinking, soone walked over and said in a low voice,""Hall Master, do we continue to wait?"
"Wait!"
Qi Huanyu replied indifferently,"there's no rush!" "Fang ping and the others didn't co. Now that we're in conflict with the other party, they'll suddenly charge out. That'll be them taking advantage of us."
"Yes!"
"Eh ..."
At this mont, Qi Huanyu's eyes flickered. He suddenly looked to his side and saw a figure flash by at an astonishing speed.
"Who is it?"
Qi Huanyu beca vigilant!
Very strong!
At the very least, it gave him the feeling that it was no weaker than the blood Spears that di Hao had fused with.
As expected, there was such an expert in this place!
Qi Huanyu furrowed his brows. With just one or two of these people, God continent would still be confident in their chances.
The commanders of the heaven's mandate Army weren't all dead yet, and there was no source of chaos here. At the critical mont, he could rge the abilities of so of the experts in the Army and use a joint attack formation.
The heavenly plant Army probably also had such a trump card.
Therefore, he still had the confidence to deal with one or two weakened true Kings.
However, if there were too many of them ... They would have to join forces with Fang ping and the others!
On Fang Ping's side, there were many powerhouses and Fang ping had many cards up his sleeve. He was confident in dealing with one of them.
"Moreover, my goal is not to kill these people, but to seize the treasures. I'll find an opportunity to seize the treasures and leave this place."
Qi Huanyu stared at the figure. He didn't speak or move.
He continued to wait!
……
The altar.
Fang ping saw the three statues at first glance. In reality, he knew they were not statues, but their Qi was very weak. These people should have fallen into a deep sleep. The gray substance on their outer skin should be condensed from a special treasure.
Fang ping quickly saw the old man with the gray substance on his cheeks shattered. With a glance, Fang Ping's heart skipped a beat.
Very strong!
The feeling this old man gave him was that he was stronger than faceless!
Without looking at the old man, Fang ping quickly glanced at the altar.
On the altar, a Pearl was emitting a faint light, illuminating the surroundings. It was like a will-o '-the-wisp in the dark, sowhat terrifying.
Fang ping landed on the ground a few hundred ters away from the altar. Crack ... He crushed the bones on the ground with one step.
Fang ping looked at the ground out of the corner of his eye, his heart heavy.
How many experts had died here back then?
Not only were they dead, but all their power had disappeared!
The altar was surrounded by white bones.
Fang ping estimated that there were no less than 300 of them.
So of these skeletons were lying on the ground with their heads facing the altar as if they were kowtowing.
"This is a formation? It's similar to the one in mo Wen sword's Emperor's grave, to extract the power of these skeletons to nourish that Pearl?"
Fang ping was not an ignorant person now. He could roughly guess what was going on with one look.
It wasn't that faceless and the others hadn't been doing any work in this place over the years. Instead, they had been controlling this spell formation to extract the power of the dead and nourish it. Perhaps this was the so-called treasure of the demon Emperor.
"What a big move!"
This was really big!
It was even bigger than mo Wen's sword!
This so-called divine sect used the corpses of hundreds of real gods and even Emperor-level experts to nurture a Pearl. Perhaps only the war of the north and south and the war of the earth Emperor divine dynasty could gather so many experts.
Otherwise, where would he get so many experts 'corpses?
Fang Ping's gaze once again shifted to the altar that the three of them had surrounded.
The altar was as tall as a person, and only this Pearl was placed on it.
However, Fang ping could vaguely sense that sothing was not right!
The altar covered an area of about a hundred square ters. He had not even reached the altar's range, but he felt a strange power.
He couldn't tell what kind of power it was, but it seed to fill the entire altar and gather towards the Pearl.
"The power of the dead?"
Fang ping glanced at the shattered bones under his feet. They were already so rotten that there was no energy left to be extracted.
Just as he was observing all this, the old man's gaze turned to Fang ping, and he said in a deep voice,"Faceless, why have you only returned now?"
"It seems like those people are not all dead yet?"
There were only two eyes on Fang Ping's face. At this mont, he was imitating faceless's way of speaking. He said indifferently,"A bunch of ants, it doesn't matter if I kill them or not! They've consud a lot of energy, and they've scattered to escape. They didn't pursue us ..."
The woman laughed."That's true. We'll co here sooner or later anyway. It doesn't make a difference whether we kill him or not."
"Faceless, have you encountered the Oracle?" the burly man asked.
"God's ssenger?"
Fang ping was slightly shocked, but he did not show it on his face. He said slowly,"Never."
After saying that, he didn't stay any longer. He had already seen a depression in the altar, which should have been faceless 's.
The more he spoke, the more he would make mistakes. Fang ping did not want to say anything more. He walked straight to that spot and sat down cross-legged, no longer moving, just like the other statues.
At this mont, the gray substance on the old man's body had shattered a little. He slowly turned his head and glanced at faceless.
He kept feeling that sothing was not right.
After all, they had been together for thousands of years!
Even if Fang Ping's aura was the sa, he did not speak much, and his figure and other things were similar ...
However, there were so differences!
He couldn't tell what the difference was, but the old man felt that this faceless was sowhat different from the faceless he knew.
However, the old man had not been out for thousands of years, so he did not know Fang Ping's na.
Otherwise, based on his intuition, the old man would have guessed that faceless had been replaced.
The old man turned to look at faceless before slowly retracting his gaze.
Since faceless had returned, the old man spoke again,""There's a group of outsiders waiting for a long ti over there. Why don't we take the initiative to attack and kill them?"
"The divine ssenger hasn't shown up yet, why don't we wait a little longer?" the brawny man said.
"Yes, the order of the divine sect hasn't arrived yet. It's also very troubleso to kill the divine ssenger by mistake."
The woman said.
The words of these two people raised Fang Ping's vigilance.
God's ssenger?
An emissary of the church?
So, among the people who ca in this ti, there were people from this God's religion?
Was he among Qi Huanyu's group or his own people?
How many oracles were there?
If he were to leave now, Ah Kong and the others would have to be careful. It would be very troubleso if they were ambushed by this so-called divine envoy!
"No... If the God's ssenger is with ... Then I'll be in even more trouble! They know that I killed faceless. Once they arrive, my identity will be exposed!"
Fang ping made a judgnt in his heart. Whether he was on his side or not, his identity might be exposed if the humans arrived.
Dozens of people might not be able to remain calm.
The slightest abnormality might arouse the vigilance of these people.
When the old man looked at him just now, he could feel that this fellow was very vigilant. He hadn't moved for thousands of years, but he could still maintain such vigilance. He was probably not weak back then.
At this mont, they fell silent again, as if they were waiting for Qi Huanyu and the others to take the initiative.
Fang ping did not have the ti to waste with them. He said slowly, "I'm worried that ... The Oracle might have died on the way here ..."
As soon as he said this, the few of them were stunned.
The old man frowned slightly and said,"a ssenger from the church can't be too weak ... This ..."
"I heard from those people that before we ca in, thousands of natural source died in battle!" Fang ping said indifferently.
When these words ca out, the few of them were a little surprised.
So many people had died?
When Fang ping and the others entered, there were only about 200 people.
They knew that soone must have died outside, but they didn't know that so many had died!
It would be fine if only a few died, but if many died, the Oracle might not be alive!
The old man frowned. What should he do now?
Fang ping said again,"these juniors, although they're origins ... They're very strong!" The reason why I've been delaying until now is also related to the other party's strength. I only managed to kill that person after expending a lot of energy. It's best not to let the two sides et!"
"You an, we should make a move now?"
The old man asked.
"I need so ti to recover," Fang ping said indifferently."It's your business ... To make a move. "
He didn't know if the old man was their leader, but it didn't matter. They were all true gods, so he didn't think that the old man would need to bow to him.
In any place, strength spoke for itself.
True gods might fear Emperor-ranked experts, but they wouldn't fear experts who were also true gods.
Even if the old man was the leader, he might not be able to command the few true gods.
As expected, the old man did not mind what Fang ping said.
After a mont of silence, the old man said in a deep voice,"then let's do it!" Faceless, you and Elysian moon stay behind and guard the gate of all living things! The order of the divine sect is not to move the gate of all living things in the future!"
Ming Yue, the woman, chuckled and said,""I know. The order of the divine sect says that we won't easily move the gate of all living things in the future. Besides, they're just a bunch of reciprocity cultivators. If you attack, you'll be able to return very quickly,"
The old man didn't say anything else, and the gray substance on his body quickly shattered.
At the side, the brawny man was the sa as he said,""It's been more than two thousand years. In order to reduce losses, we barely moved. Now that we've killed all these people, it's ti for us to leave!"
"We can't not go out."
The old man, Chang qingzi, also revealed his true appearance. He had the air of a celestial, his white hair fluttered, and he held a horsetail whisk in his hand. He looked like a celestial.
After shattering the gray substance, Chang qingzi smiled faintly and said,""We have been sealed for so long and have not been able to replenish our spiritual energy. If we don't go out now, we will hurt our golden bodies."
The energy of the realm battlefield was sealed. Although sleeping could reduce the consumption, it didn't an that it wouldn't be consud.
After a few thousand years, they had all reached their limits.
Chang qingzi shattered the gray substance, and his aura disappeared in a flash.
Fang ping was slightly shocked!
This guy was very strong!
True God vitality fluctuations were not small either. If calculated according to rank-9 vitality, from 800000 to 2 million Cal was within the range of true God.
Only Overlord-tier would be above 2 million Cal.
"During this period, the fluctuating vitality can go up to a million Cal. Of course, that's all relative to rank-9.
Therefore, there was a huge gap between the fighting power of true gods. Even soone as strong as the battle King had killed more than one true King.
"This guy's aura just disappeared in a flash. I felt that he was at least 30% stronger than faceless!"
Faceless 'vitality at his peak was probably a million Cal, while this old man's vitality was probably 1.3 million Cal.
Even though faceless was severely exhausted at the mont, his explosive power was definitely much stronger than faceless 's.
"He can kill !"
Fang ping was on alert again!
Fang ping had a standard of judgnt in his heart as to whether the other party could kill him or not. If the other party's explosive power exceeded his limit, that ant that the other party had the ability to kill him.
For example, his current limit was around 620000 Cal.
If the other party's explosive destructive power exceeded 60000Cal, Fang ping might be killed instantly.
A weak true God, the weakest of them all, had 800000 Cal of vitality. If their strength control exceeded 80%, they would have the ability to kill Fang ping.
Of course, Fang ping could have run, but that was another matter.
"I have to be careful! This old man is not to be trifled with!"
Fang ping glanced at the brawny man out of the corner of his eye. The brawny man's strength was not much different from faceless '.
A powerhouse like this might not have the ability to kill Fang ping in one move.
In this case, if Fang ping and he continued to drag this out, the probability of the other party dying would be greater.
Of the three, the only one who posed a threat was Chang qingzi.
However, if his identity was exposed and he was surrounded by the three of them, Fang ping would die a terrible death.
Out of the corner of his eye, Fang ping glanced at Elysian moon, who had not shattered the imperishable substance. This woman ... If she left him and her behind, perhaps he could take the opportunity to kill her.
After that, he would seize the gate of all living things and leave the spatial battlefield. These guys might not dare to chase after him.
Fang ping calculated in his heart for a while. At this ti, Chang qingzi and the burly man were already preparing to leave.
Chang qingzi's footsteps faltered slightly. He suddenly looked at Fang ping and said slowly,""Faceless, don't touch the gate of all living beings so as to avoid causing trouble!"
Fang ping did not utter a word.
He didn't know what Chang qingzi ant. Why did he specifically warn him? could it be that faceless had done this often in the past?
However, that was obviously not the case!
The burly man seed a little surprised. He glanced at Chang qingzi, then turned to Fang ping."Faceless, this is sothing that the sect master needs. You can't touch it without permission!"
Fang ping glared at them coldly and did not reply.
The burly man smiled and ignored him.
Seeing this, Chang qingzi didn't say anything more. His footsteps seed slow, but he covered a thousand ters in the blink of an eye!
Qi Huanyu and the others, who were only 20 miles away, were only 10000 ters away. Chang qingzi arrived there in the blink of an eye.
The brawny man quickly followed and said no more.
After they left, Ming Yue laughed and said,"faceless, how did you offend Chang qingzi?" This guy has a close relationship with the apologetic Lord. If you leave this place carefully, he will complain to the apologetic Lord ..."
"I didn't provoke him!" Fang ping said indifferently.
Before he could finish his words, Qi Huanyu's roar was heard from afar!
"Form the formation!"
"Who are you?"
Qi Huanyu's voice was high. Although he was vigilant, he did not retreat without fighting.
Very quickly, Fang ping felt a powerful aura rising!
His aura was similar to Qi Huanyu 's, but it seed to be mixed with other people's aura. Fang ping had seen powerhouses from the heaven's mandate Army fuse their energy and use joint combat techniques before.
It wasn't too surprising!
However, Qi Huanyu did not join them previously. At that ti, Ji Nan and his group were the leaders. Although they were powerful, their limit was probably around 50000Cal.
Now, with Qi Huanyu's participation, Fang ping was still a little surprised.
Qi Huanyu was extrely powerful to begin with. Now that he had incorporated so of the powerhouses 'energy, Fang ping felt that he was even slightly stronger than faceless.
"As expected, this guy still has a backup plan!"
"The people who ca this ti are not kind."
"Jiang Kui and the others might have so trump cards, including Gu Qing who was killed. That guy also displayed the fighting power of a real God in the end. If Alliance master Zhao wasn't stronger, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to kill him."
Fang ping was on alert again.
Experts from all sides more or less had their own trump cards.
Except for humans!
The human side indeed did not have much Foundation. There was only one word for it-reckless!
It couldn't be helped. The ti for the rise of neo martial artists was too short.
Just as he was thinking about it, a loud boom was heard!
There was more than one aura!
In the next second, Fang ping sensed a second aura, a third aura, a fourth aura ... All of them were very powerful!
Heavenly plant Royal Court, thousand Goblin Royal Court, and Guardian Royal Court!
The four imperial courts seed to have a joint attack strategy.
Fang ping was a little surprised. Did he just get this recently, or did he have it before?
"If this has happened before, it seems like humans have never encountered such a situation in the catacombs.
Of course, the humans wanted to fight in the outer regions, but the outer regions might not.
The people who had co this ti were all elites of the four Royal Courts. Perhaps this kind of joint attack strategy had not been spread to outsiders.
Fang ping could not be bothered to think about it. He had heard about the drawbacks of this combat technique from others.
It could only last for a short ti, but as ti went on, the origin source would beco chaotic.
However, the experts from all four sides were using a joint attack strategy. Under their joint attack, they fought against the two real gods who were seriously injured. They were not at a disadvantage for a while.
Fang ping could even hear Qi Huanyu's angry shout. It was related to him.
"You two, this old man is the Vice Palace Master of the Heaven's Will Palace of the Heaven's Will Royal Court! This ti, I'm representing the God continent in entering this place. The reason why this old man is unwilling to fight with all of you is because there's still a group of experts outside!
So of them were extrely strong, and I've suffered a great loss ..."
Qi Huanyu was unwilling to fight to the death with his opponent now!
He had to fight!
If they did not fight and split up, these two people would be able to kill a large number of rank-9s very quickly. By then, he would be in trouble.
However, if the battle continued, Fang ping might really benefit from it. At this mont, he could only try to win over Chang qingzi and the other man and kill Fang ping first.
"You've consud a lot of your strength. It's not worth it to fight with us at this mont! Let's kill the third party first, then I won't say anything even if you and I fight to the death. You two, do you really want to fight with us now?"
Qi Huanyu's voice was loud and his combat strength was extrely strong.
Even if they were ten thousand ters away in the darkness, Fang ping could see a long spear reaching the sky!
Qi Huanyu had combined the powers of so people and was fighting Chang qingzi alone. The floating dust and the spear struck out beams of light in the void!
The other three sides surrounded the brawny man, and they were also evenly matched.
At the altar, Ming Yue said indifferently,"that vice Palace Master of heaven's will Palace is not weak!" "However, brown bear is an expert in the path of the physical body. Even if he's exhausted of energy, his physical strength is still extrely powerful. I don't think the combined attack of the other three sides will last long. It'll be broken by brown bear sooner or later.
When that ti cos ... These people will die without a doubt!"
She wasn't too worried about the two of them.
Although Qi Huanyu was powerful, it was not his own power.
Although they were exhausted, they were only exhausted of energy.
The brawny man was still cultivating the path of the physical body. Even if his energy was exhausted, his golden body was still extrely powerful. As ti went on, all three sides would be defeated by him.
If they went to help Chang qingzi, they would all die.
Fang ping said calmly,"be careful. We're using up too much energy now. It'll be troubleso if we go out ..."
"The divine sect must have backup outside," Ming Yue said with a smile."Don't worry too much."
"I'm just afraid that if we leave with the gate of all living things, we'll beco the target of public criticism ..."
"Faceless, why have you beco so timid?"
Elysian moon was surprised.
Faceless wasn't a coward. On the contrary, he was a very proud fellow!
But now, he kept talking about this. Could it be that he was frightened by a group of origins when he fought with those people just now?
Fang ping sighed softly. After a while, he said with so struggle,"There were so things I didn't say when Chang qingzi was here just now. When I was fighting with those people, I heard a piece of news that made a little uneasy ..."
"What?"
"The divine sect ... Has been destroyed!"
Elysian moon was stunned. Destroyed?
Impossible!
For more than 2000 years, they had been guarding this place, and it seed that they had never considered this problem!
However, after more than two thousand years, was the church really still there?
This mont of confusion was the opportunity Fang ping had to seize!
Almost at the sa ti, Fang ping retracted his aura. His ntality was shapeless and incorporeal. It turned into countless long blades and blasted into Elysian moon's mind in an instant!
Then, a Crystal House fell to the ground and covered the nether moon!
He wanted to kill this real God without a trace!
More than 20 miles away, Elysian moon's aura was weak, and the gray substance on her body had not fallen off. There was still hope!
Elysian moon let out a shrill scream when she was covered by the crystal House.
She had never thought of guarding against Fang ping!
It had been more than two thousand years!
There was still so basic trust!
It had been more than two thousand years!
If they had been on guard against their companions, they would have long been exhausted and dead.
But who would have thought that two thousand years later, her companions would attack her!
"Faceless! No, you're not!"
Elysian moon's spiritual power was severely damaged. The gray substance on her body cracked, and her head cracked.
But at that mont, Ming Yue also realized sothing!
This was not faceless!
Faceless didn't have such a manifestation either. Faceless had been replaced!
Elysian moon rose in an instant, but Fang ping was faster than her.
The mont her ntality was severely injured, Fang ping had already rushed over!
Almost at the sa ti as Elysian moon's outburst, Fang Ping's fist fell from the sky. With a loud boom, it directly blew Elysian moon's head off!
The power of this punch was shockingly powerful!
The crystal House was cracked!
"Ah!"
The screams rose again!
Elysian moon's broken body quickly retreated, but the crystal House also shrank in an instant, and the two of them were squeezed together again.
The headless Elysian moon looked particularly scary, but Fang ping did not care whether she was scary or not. The tip of his feet was like a knife, and in the blink of an eye, he kicked dozens of tis. Golden pieces of flesh fell off instantly, leaving only an empty skeleton!
Having gained the upper hand in one move, Fang ping was worried that these true gods had many tricks up their sleeves. He did not hold back at all, nor did he have any thoughts of probing.
His spiritual power recovered to its peak in the blink of an eye and exploded again!
"Sky Smasher!"
Fang ping let out a low growl and threw another punch. This ti, the entire Crystal House cracked open with a Kacha Kacha!
Fang Ping's punch also instantly blew up Elysian moon's skeleton!
A true God-level powerhouse was ambushed by Fang ping in the blink of an eye, killed in three moves on the spot!
Even though Fang ping had blown up her golden body, he did not relax at all. His ntality burst out again, sweeping in all directions. The entire Crystal House shrank again, and his ntality burst out in waves!
After several explosions in a row, a sharp scream ca from a crack in the wall of the crystal House!
Then, a small person exploded!
Fang ping still did not dare to relax. Once again, he swept in all directions. After a while, there was no response. Only then did Fang ping pant violently and half-knelt on the ground.
At that mont, he was extrely nervous.
"Fortunately, faceless is an example. Otherwise, this woman might really have been able to escape!"
Fang ping was shocked. These true gods were true travelers. Even with that little bit of ntality left, they could still maintain their consciousness. If they had enough energy and treasures, they could be regenerated.
Of course, he wasn't afraid of this. He was worried that if he caused too much of a commotion, he would lure the two people in front of him back.
"Phew ..."
Fang ping panted again, and the crystal House disappeared very quickly.
There was still a lot of movent ahead!
Fang Ping's small movents did not seem to attract any attention.
At this mont, the void trembled slightly. Fang ping raised his brows slightly. Faceless killer had done the sa previously. Would Chang qingzi and the other man make the connection?
