Boom!
Crackling sound—
In the desolate region, at a certain spatial node, thunder roared deafeningly, and terrifying power of heaven and earth's punishment struck Elder Fu and Mo Hao as if it were the end of the world.
Even with their divine emperor's strength, they appeared somewhat weak in the face of this immense power.
His face turned pale.
Beneath this pale complexion, however, lies a profound sense of anger.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Suddenly, a series of whooshing sounds came from the spatial passage, and a large group of Tianyu Sect disciples, looking extremely dejected, flew out.
Puff puff puff!
The moment they landed, they seemed unable to control their injuries and began coughing up mouthfuls of blood.
In an instant, the listlessness emanating from them intensified even further.
Upon seeing this, Elder Fu and Elder Du's expressions changed. Before they could recover from their injuries, Elder Fu asked urgently, "What happened in the lower realm?"
Immediately, someone, enduring their injuries, replied, "Reporting to the elder, Lu Tao has set up a powerful sealing formation in the lower realm. He has also refined many array flags that are of the high grade of divine king artifacts, preventing us from successfully entering the lower realm's starry sky..."
As the disciples recounted the details of the mortal realm, Elder Fu's tightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed.
"Sure enough, that kid must have been hiding in the Divine Platform Secret Realm before!"
At this moment, Elder Fu was certain that Lu Tao was definitely hiding in the Divine Platform Secret Realm. Otherwise, with Lu Tao's mere Divine King realm, even across a realm, he would never have been able to escape Mo Hao's pursuit.
Only in the secret realm of the divine altar, which they knew little about, was it possible to avoid being discovered by Mo Hao.
This also means that the Divine Platform Secret Realm is probably even more mysterious and unpredictable than he imagined.
As for the rest...
Things like sealing formations, array flags, and the cultivation levels of Immortal Sect disciples are not so important.
Once it's confirmed that Lu Tao is in the lower realm, there's no way he can escape the Five Finger Mountain of the Tianyu Sect.
"Hmph, this wretched creature... actually used the high-grade materials he harvested to refine array flags to block us from descending to the lower realm. Unfortunately, he can only block us for a while, not forever!"
Elder Fu had no further thoughts on Lu Tao's choice.
In his view, Lu Tao, who was only at the God King level, was doing nothing more than a powerless struggle before his death.
As long as Lu Tao cannot escape the wasteland, his fate will be summed up in one word—death!
I'll think about it.
Elder Fu wasted no time and immediately instructed, "Mo Hao, go and select another batch of disciples immediately. This time, they must be strong, and it would be best to recruit more disciples at the Divine Emperor realm."
Although Lu Tao had already exhausted all the array flags of the high-grade and mid-grade divine king artifacts, Elder Fu still planned to send more divine emperor disciples down to the lower realm as a precaution.
He didn't intend to give Lu Tao any more breathing room.
The only way to truly feel at ease when faced with a prodigy like Lu Tao is to completely eliminate him.
"Yes, Elder!"
Mo Hao accepted the order and immediately teleported away, heading towards Tianyu Sect.
Elder Fu then distributed numerous pills to the disciples and said in a deep voice, "After you have recovered from your injuries, return to the sect. But remember, this matter must never be revealed to anyone. Anyone who disobeys will have their soul and body destroyed!"
"Yes, Elder!"
The disciples of the Tianyu Sect who had already sworn an oath to Heaven all nodded hurriedly. They knew the importance of this matter to the sect, so naturally they would not spread it outside, nor would they dare to.
Putting aside the fact that such a divine emperor and divine ruler were killed in the desolate region, the numerous opportunities in Lu Tao's possession, once spread, would definitely attract the covetousness of other forces.
That would bring endless trouble to the Tianyu Sect.
The disciples sat cross-legged, swallowing pills to heal their injuries. Their injuries were quite severe, and it was unknown how many years it would take for them to fully recover. For now, they could only recover part of their injuries to prevent them from worsening.
Elder Fu also swallowed pills to regulate his breathing.
Although he was already at the late stage of the God Emperor realm, maintaining the spatial passage was not easy. Moreover, although it seemed that three God Emperors were acting together, in reality, he was the one who bore most of the punishment from heaven and earth.
In the blink of an eye, two hours had passed.
Mo Hao returned with a large group of disciples.
This time, he gathered disciples who were mostly God Emperors, totaling more than one hundred, and more than one hundred God Kings, all of whom had reached the late stage of God King.
Their overall strength is much greater than the previous batch.
Having just brought the disciples back, Mo Hao frowned and brought up a matter to Elder Fu, saying, "Elder, there have been some rumors circulating in Yulong Heaven recently."
Elder Fu casually asked, "What rumors?"
He didn't seem to care much, but he was also curious to know what kind of rumor could make Mo Hao take it to heart.
Mo Hao said, "Recently, several secret realms have experienced major casualties, but strangely... the dead and injured are mostly from the demon and monster races, while the human race has suffered relatively few losses. This has led to rumors that the human race is targeting the demon and monster races."
Upon hearing this, Elder Fu frowned and asked, "How many were killed or injured?"
Mo Hao said in a deep voice, "There are already more than two thousand God-Kings, and this number is still increasing."
"More than two thousand?"
Elder Fu's expression suddenly changed.
Two thousand god-kings are certainly nothing to the entire Jade Dragon Heaven.
But the fact that two thousand god-kings fell in such a short time is rather strange.
and.
If a single secret realm experiences a major casualty incident, it might not be a big deal, but if several secret realms experience this incident almost simultaneously, then it is definitely not an ordinary event.
It seemed more like a premeditated operation.
"Hmph, it seems that the actions of my Tianyu Sect in mobilizing its disciples have alerted the spies of the Heavenly Court and the Dao Palace, who want to take this opportunity to disrupt Yulong Heaven."
Elder Fu snorted coldly, his expression extremely indifferent.
Over the countless years, every realm has been filled with spies planted by each other's forces, making it extremely complex.
Even the worst of the Divine Dynasties, Yulongtian, is like this, and there are even more spies.
Clearly, in Elder Fu's view, the recent actions of the Tianyu Sect have given some people an opportunity to take advantage of the chaos and stir up trouble.
Elder Fu said coldly, "Let's ignore them for now. I'll investigate this matter after I've dealt with things here. I'll wipe out these spies from the Heavenly Court and the Dao Palace sooner or later!"
The mere mention of the word "spy" caused Elder Fu's murderous intent to become somewhat uncontrollable.
Even Mo Hao felt a chill run down his spine when he sensed this killing intent.
Not to mention the other disciples of the Tianyu Sect.
Elder Fu ignored the changes in the disciples' expressions and immediately ordered, "Go, you must bring back everything on Lu Tao's body and the Divine Platform Secret Realm. As for the Immortal Sect disciples, kill all the human race and bring back the True Dragon Bloodline."
"Yes, Elder!"
As Elder Fu opened the spatial passage, more than two hundred disciples of the Tianyu Sect rushed in with solemn expressions.
Boom!
The moment they rushed into the spatial passage, a tremendous roar resounded throughout the world.
at the same time.
An even more terrifying force of divine punishment descended upon Elder Fu and Mo Hao, causing both of them to change their expressions.
Sending people down to the mortal realm requires a stronger entity to maintain the spatial passage.
In such cases, the latter's level of attainment needs to be a whole level higher than the former's.
With Elder Fu's cultivation and strength at the late stage of God Emperor level, maintaining a passage for a God Emperor to descend to the mortal realm would be a piece of cake.
But this time, they sent a full one hundred God Emperors down to the mortal realm.
Furthermore, among them were many powerful individuals with cultivation levels in the mid-to-late stages of the Divine Emperor realm.
The difficulty involved is self-evident.
If it weren't for Mo Hao and the dragon puppet's assistance, even with Elder Fu's strength, he wouldn't have dared to take the risk.
That's how it is.
With the help of two people and a puppet, the Tianyu Sect disciples descended smoothly without any unexpected incidents.
However, during this period, Mo Hao kept receiving various messages, all of which were about the secret realm.
The number of powerful demons who have fallen continues to increase.
Two days later, Mo Hao reported to Elder Fu: "Elder, something is very wrong. In the past few days, the number of God-Kings who have fallen has exceeded three thousand."
"Don't worry about it. The key right now is Lu Tao and the Divine Platform Secret Realm. Put everything else aside for now."
Elder Fu shook his head, not intending to deal with the matter; his mind was now entirely focused on Lu Tao.
He didn't take the mere attempts to sow discord and frame others to heart.
Let alone the fall of three thousand God-Kings, even if it were thirty thousand or three hundred thousand, it would not be comparable to the opportunities that Lu Tao had.
"All right."
Mo Hao nodded helplessly.
Two days later, Mo Hao suddenly received a message. He immediately said to Elder Fu, "Elder, I just received news that dozens of images appeared in Yulong Heaven today. They are recordings of our human cultivators setting up formations to slaughter demons."
"It's alright!"
Elder Fu remained very calm.
But Mo Hao suddenly said, "Elder, judging from the recording, the person who set up the formation was a human disciple of my Tianyu Sect. However, when they set up the formation, it was secretly recorded by other beings, who also filmed my Tianyu Sect disciples killing each other."
Upon hearing this, Elder Fu's expression turned cold, and he said in a cold voice, "Hmph, it seems that the Heavenly Court and the Dao Palace have infiltrated very deeply, even managing to bribe my Tianyu Sect disciples."
He concluded that this was a commotion orchestrated by Tianyu Sect disciples who had been bribed and were working with spies.
When Tianyu Sect recruits disciples, it naturally tries to find out their background.
If there is anything unclear about their abilities, no matter how talented they are, they will not be accepted into the sect.
Since disciples are now colluding with spies to record such images, they must have been bribed after joining the Tianyu Sect.
He did not doubt that the disciples of the Tianyu Sect had the intention of setting up formations to hunt down other experts of the same level after entering the secret realm. After all, this was normal in the God Realm. However, it was too coincidental that dozens of such images appeared at the same time in just a few days.
He didn't believe that the disciples of the Tianyu Sect were so careless!
Thinking of this, Elder Fu said viciously, "Whoever it is, I will definitely extract their soul and refine their spirit later!"
Mo Hao nodded silently and didn't say anything more.
He was also deeply saddened by the discovery of a traitor within the sect.
In the following days, Mo Hao continued to receive messages, and the number of fallen god-kings continued to increase.
From three thousand, to four thousand, and then to five thousand...
But no matter how many god-kings fell, Elder Fu never took it to heart, which made Mo Hao, who was originally anxious, calm down.
that's all.
In the blink of an eye, several days have passed.
"They should be arriving in the lower realm soon."
That day, Elder Fu, looking both tired and excited, estimated the time. He felt that this group of Tianyu Sect disciples should be arriving in the lower realm soon.
At this time, he was under tremendous pressure.
Mo Hao also laughed and said, "They'll be here soon, in half a day at most."
Both of them were very happy.
If this matter is handled well, the benefits they can gain are unimaginable.
Methods for forging true dragons, techniques for cultivating monstrous disciples, secrets to such rapid cultivation advancement, the Divine Platform Secret Realm... and so on.
Among these, the true dragon bloodline is actually the least noticeable.
The desolate region possesses a Dragon Transformation Pool, which yields a considerable amount of true dragon bloodline every million years. However, all of these true dragon bloodlines are reserved for the disciples of the God Emperor who guard the desolate region.
It is clear that in the eyes of these god-emperors, the bloodline of the true dragon was not that important.
but--
They only didn't pay that much attention when dealing with ordinary true dragon bloodlines.
Lu Tao's true dragon bloodline is something that can definitely enable other beings of the same level to successfully undergo bloodline transformation.
This is fundamentally different from other true dragon bloodlines.
One type has only a 10% or 20% chance of successful fusion, or even less than 10%; while the other type is 100% certain.
The differences and values between them are completely incomparable.
If the true dragon bloodlines in the desolate region were as exaggerated as the true dragon bloodline in Lu Tao's hands, how could these true dragon bloodlines possibly be available for a mere disciple of the Tianyu Sect to plunder?
If even the most inconspicuous true dragon bloodline is so heaven-defying, one can imagine how terrifying the other secrets Lu Tao holds are.
If we let them get it and enjoy it...
Their path to becoming God Emperors may be smoother.
Becoming a Saint-level being like a sect leader is no longer a dream!
Mo Hao suddenly asked, "By the way, Elder, what did the Sect Master say about the Divine Platform Secret Realm?"
Elder Fu shook his head and said, "I don't know, and the sect leader has never heard of the Divine Platform Secret Realm either."
"It's really strange that such a secret realm would appear in such a barren place as the lower realm."
Mo Hao shook his head, indicating that he did not understand.
Treasures have always been more likely to appear in places where the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is richer, or where the quality of living beings is better.
However, the divine platform in Lu Tao's hand happened to appear in the lower realm.
This puzzled him greatly.
That's simply illogical.
Elder Fu speculated, "Since this object is a divine platform, it is probably not something that was created by heaven and earth!"
"Elder, do you mean... that altar was also created by living beings through cultivation?"
Mo Hao was not surprised by Elder Fu's guess, because he himself had the same guess, but his knowledge was naturally much less than Elder Fu's.
Elder Fu nodded and said, "The Divine Platform is the place where the soul resides. It is originally cultivated from immeasurable soul energy through the tempering of cultivation techniques. Over the countless years, no other Divine Platform has ever been heard of in the God Realm."
"Is it possible that we just haven't discovered it yet?" Mo Hao asked hesitantly.
"Perhaps."
Elder Fu smiled noncommittally and didn't say anything more, because he himself couldn't be sure.
As Mo Hao said, perhaps the divine realm simply hasn't discovered such an altar, or perhaps other beings or forces have obtained it but haven't revealed it.
It is truly rare for such a wondrous object to become so widely known, as it is in the lower realms.
If he were Lu Tao, since this item had already spread throughout the desolate region and he possessed great strength, he would surely annihilate the desolate region to prevent this matter from being leaked to stronger individuals.
Not to mention slaughtering the entire desolate region, they would even kill every single ant in the lower realms, leaving none alive.
Compared to the Divine Platform Secret Realm, what are a few living beings?
It's not like they haven't committed massacres before.
certainly--
All of this is based on the premise that the fusion of the altars will produce better results.
"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore."
Elder Fu shook his head and didn't continue the topic. He said, "In short, the sect leader's order is that no matter the cost, we must obtain the Divine Platform Secret Realm!"
"yes!"
Mo Hao nodded emphatically, then sighed with some regret, "It's a pity that the sect leader is being held back by the sages of the Heavenly Court. Otherwise, if the sect leader had made a move, with his unparalleled strength, he could have easily taken over the Divine Platform Secret Realm."
"yes!"
Elder Fu shook his head helplessly upon hearing this.
The Heavenly Court and the Divine Dynasty have been entangled for countless years. Every one of their Holy Realm beings is restrained by the other and finds it difficult to extricate themselves.
If the sages of the Tianyu Sect could take action, why go through all this trouble?
Whether it's sending a God Emperor down to the mortal realm or taking action himself, seizing the Divine Platform Secret Realm in the mortal realm is an easy task.
But unfortunately...
With the sect leader of Tianyu Sect being restrained, if he wanted to leave, it would have far-reaching consequences, affecting the overall situation of the Divine Dynasty and the Heavenly Court.
Next.
The two stopped chatting and continued to maintain the spatial passage, hoping that their disciples could reach the lower realm as soon as possible, kill Lu Tao, and seize all the secrets he possessed.
Sudden--
Mohao received another message.
He glanced at it casually, just as before, but his demeanor no longer showed the same level of concern.
At most, it would only result in the fall of some God-Kings. Since Elder Fu doesn't care, why should he worry?
But in the next instant, Mo Hao's expression suddenly changed, and he shouted, "Elder, something terrible has happened! The God Emperors who entered the secret realm are also starting to fall one after another, and they are all from the demon and monster races!"
"You bastard!!!"
Elder Fu's eyes widened, his face filled with murderous intent!
