Lou Munan, Qianxun, Ayao, and the Lord of the Black Nest reappeared in everyone's sight, and Lou Munan's expression was somewhat unpleasant.
Although he could reopen the Netherworld, Jingxin Wuchen's interference caused him to suffer a hidden loss, which made his already bad mood even worse. His killing intent was terrifying and overwhelming, and the materialized killing aura directly turned into a storm, about to erupt.
Everyone was terrified. At that moment, Lou Munan's expression suddenly changed, and he looked up at the starry sky.
In the distant reaches of space, in a remote star region, a grayish-white mist suddenly appeared. Within this mist were numerous broken planets and countless meteorites. At the point where the meteorites were most concentrated, ripples suddenly appeared, spreading outwards across the starry sky. Then, a faint light flashed, and a door appeared.
The gate was pitch black, its height unknown, and adorned with lightning patterns. Azure lightning, red lightning, golden lightning, purple lightning—lightning of every color surged across the black gate, accompanied by a rumbling sound echoing from the starry sky.
The door quietly opened, revealing even more grayish-white mist within. This mist surged forth, instantly spreading across hundreds of thousands of miles of starry sky and continuing to expand. This mist carried some kind of power, transforming into a vast sea of fog that surged through the starry sky like a stampede of ten thousand horses. This mist possessed an incredibly powerful attraction, drawing everything around it into the doorway.
The giant beasts passing through the starry sky, the bewildered immortals, the surrounding meteorites and planets—all were swept up by this mist and sucked into the gate, just like a lone boat on a vast ocean being swallowed by the waves.
The colossal gate, towering tens of thousands of feet high, was like a terrifying beast that suddenly appeared in the starry sky, opening its sinister maw to devour all living beings.
Deep within this gate, at its very core, lies an altar. Surrounding the altar are the remains of powerful beings from countless realms who have entered this mysterious tomb over trillions of years, all kneeling on the ground.
These powerful figures who have become corpses were all once legendary and the most amazing people of their time, but they all perished here, and their corpses kneel below this altar.
A sword was stuck in the altar. It was a black sword with blood-red characters on it. These mysterious characters were constantly changing. It was a sword of slaughter, exuding a boundless killing intent that filled the entire cemetery. If anyone were to approach, even an Immortal Emperor might not be able to withstand it.
A figure appeared here, a slender hand gripped the hilt of the sword, and he drew the sword.
This was a tall, silver-haired man with a handsome face as cold as ice. He looked out of the cemetery, towards the massive, dark gate, and then, with a gentle flick of his sword, a beam of red light shot out from the deepest part of the cemetery, cleaving through the sea of mist, splitting planets, tearing apart star fields, and ripping apart the universe…
The sword light, from an unknown distance, actually reached the demon realm, splitting the demon realm's sky in two.
Dead silence! The demon realm was utterly silent!
Apart from Lou Munan and a few others, no one knew what had happened, nor could they see what lay deep within the pitch-black giant gate. Ruji, the Nine Netherworld Emperor, the Evil Moon Holy Mother, Ayao, Fengwu, Liyan, and others were all in a state of shock.
The Snow Goddess, Purple Cloud God, and other Immortal Emperors who did not participate in the battle in the Demon Realm were also in shock.
What exactly happened?
Seeing Lou Munan turn his head, A Yao saw him abandon everyone and fly into the starry sky, disappearing in an instant. Qian Xun thought for a moment, then transformed into a swift rainbow and chased after him. Seeing that Lou Munan and Qian Xun had left without giving any orders, the demon gods, including Ru Ji, looked at the Nine Netherworld Emperor and the Evil Moon Holy Mother and asked, "What should we do?"
"Retreat first," said the Nine Netherworld Emperor.
And so the demons withdrew their troops.
Even after the Demon Lord left, the mood of the group did not lighten. Everyone felt an extremely terrifying killing intent being released from the mysterious place in the starry sky. Something must have happened that the Demon Lord Xuan Tian cared about very much, otherwise he would not have abandoned everyone like this.
"What happened?" Ayao asked the Lord of the Black Nest.
The Lord of the Black Nest looked into the void. Following his gaze, A Yao released her divine sense. She saw only the endless starry sky, and in the depths of that endless starry sky, a pitch-black door—a door she had seen before. She had seen such a door in the strange phenomena caused by Xu Fengzhi's graffiti-covered totem. Therefore, she asked the Lord of the Black Nest, seeking an answer from him.
"You once asked me if I knew the whereabouts of the Sword of No Life," said the Lord of the Black Nest.
Ayao did ask him, but he didn't answer her question at the time.
“I do know where the Sword of No Life is,” said the Lord of the Black Nest.
"Where are you?" Ayao asked, her voice tinged with urgency.
"The Thunder Emperor Yun Qi possesses the Sword of No Life," said the Lord of the Black Nest.
The Thunder Emperor of a Generation, the Thunder Emperor of a Generation is Xu Fengzhi, A Yao already knew that.
She recalled the endless thunderbolts crashing down from the void, the entire world engulfed in a sea of lightning. From within this sea of thunder, a figure strode forth, nine-colored lightning shooting forth from his body. The silver-haired, golden-eyed man was enveloped in lightning, his expression cold and disdainful, looking down upon the heavens.
"Is he... is he a clone that split off from the main soul when it was the Thunder Emperor?" A Yao asked.
“That’s right. The Sword of No Life is in his hands. Among all our clones, his power is the strongest. He just opened the entrance to the Tomb of the Thunder Emperor.” The Lord of the Black Nest looked up at the sky that had been cleaved open in the Demon Realm. In fact, it was one of the Seven Primordial Realms, whose recovery power was astonishing. This mark would not disappear for a while.
"This sword strike was delivered by him using the Sword of No Life," said the Lord of the Black Nest.
Ayao was horrified: "What does he want to do?"
The Lord of the Black Nest shook his head: "I don't understand him. He seems to be inviting us, inviting all of us, these clones, as well as Lou Munan and Jingxin Wuchen, to enter the Tomb of the Thunder Emperor."
"A trap?" Ayao said.
The Lord of the Black Nest said, "I do not know."
Ayao frowned. At that moment, Feng Wu, Li Yan, Demon Emperor Tianluo, and the others all flew towards Ayao. When Feng Wu arrived, Ayao immediately went to greet her: "Master."
Feng Wu glanced at the Lord of the Black Nest and asked A Yao, "A Yao, what exactly happened just now?"
Ayao then relayed what the Black Nest Lord had said to the others. Everyone's expressions changed drastically.
"What? The Sword of No Life, one of the three great innate treasures?" Demon Emperor Tianluo's eyes revealed greed.
