Everlasting Immortal Firmament

Book 5: Chapter 132: Ancestor Ming He’s Aim

In a large palace hall in the Yan Heavenly Dynasty:

The Azure Emperor extended his hand and smashed a teacup.

Bang!

“Gu Hai? We merely appreciate you. That is not grounds for you to act as you please!” the Azure Emperor growled with a sullen expression.

“Imperial Lord, the Qian Nation’s envoy seeks an audience. We…,” a subordinate said carefully.

“I will not meet them. Humph! We will head to Borderless Heavenly Capital first. Gu Hai? Gu Hai? And that brutish monkey? Humph!” The Azure Emperor flung his sleeve out.

“Huh? Yes!” a subordinate answered.

——

Outside Borderless Heavenly Capital:

Sima Changkong had not gone far when he turned his head and happened to see the shocking battle in Borderless Heavenly Capital.

“Great Sage Equal to Heaven? An Upper Heavenly Palace Realm cultivator?” Some horror flashed in Sima Changkong’s eyes.

“Milord, is that the Azure Emperor? How did Gu Hai do it?” a subordinate asked, feeling puzzled.

“This Gu Hai is too uncanny. Investigate the Great Sage Equal to Heaven when we return. What is its connection to the Spirit Mountain Holy Land?” Sima Changkong said with a frown.

“Yes!”

——

Borderless Heavenly Capital:

Since the destruction of the Azure Emperor’s projection, the Han Nation officials felt extremely excited. That was the Azure Emperor. Just how strong is the emperor’s ritual array?

Gu Hai rested for a few days. After making some arrangements, he returned to the ritual array in the restricted area.

The soldiers in the ritual array recited the Classic of the Dao and Virtue. Now, the foul aura coming from their bodies had faded away.

“Gu Hai, when are we leaving?” the Unborn Man asked anxiously.

Gu Hai looked at the soldiers.

“Your Majesty, we are about done!”

“Your Majesty, we can go in now!”

Gao Xianzhi, Chen Tianshan, Meng Tai, Gu Qin, and the others responded, one after another.

Gu Hai nodded.

“Ensnaring Performance!” Gu Hai suddenly called out.

“Master, you called for me? I can speak now?” A black-robed figure stood up amid the soldiers, appearing excited.

Gao Xianzhi and the others felt slightly surprised.

Ensnaring Performance had also entered the Asura Path Secret Realm for the past three years. However, Gu Hai did not permit him to speak. He was just one of the one million Han Nation Demon Army members.

“You will follow by our side this time,” Gu Hai said.

“Yes!” Ensnaring Performance said excitedly.

“Alright! Divide your spiritual souls and enter the Asura Path Secret Realm!” Gu Hai commanded.

“Yes!” everyone answered.

Everyone quickly separated their spiritual souls from their body and entered a Soul Dividing Box after Gu Hai.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

The Soul Dividing Boxes quickly divided the spiritual souls. One Gu Hai turned into two hundred. The soldiers all divided into two hundred soul bodies each, turning one million soldiers into two hundred million.

Crack!

Suddenly, a crisp sound came from one of the Soul Dividing Boxes. Everyone looked over and saw cracks appear on that Soul Dividing Box. Furthermore, the cracks were spreading.

Bang!

Then, that Soul Dividing Box exploded, turning into powder and vanishing.

“It’s gone?” The Unborn Man’s expression suddenly changed.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

A chain of explosions took place. All the Soul Dividing Boxes exploded nearly simultaneously, completely gone.

“Your Majesty?” the soldiers said anxiously.

Everyone was still unclear about what exactly the Soul Dividing Boxes were. However, they understood that the Soul Dividing Boxes were rare treasures. Yet, these were gone just like that?

As Gu Hai watched the various Soul Dividing Boxes disappear, he took a deep breath and said, “They are gone? If they are gone, so be it. We should be content with our current gains.”

“Ah? Gu Hai, are there more of this treasure?” the Unborn Man asked with anticipation.

“None. There was only one in the world. Let’s go. It is time to slaughter Netherworld Blood Sea City,” Gu Hai said.

“Yes!” the soldiers answered.

“Leave one battalion outside. The rest will enter with us!” Gu Hai instructed.

“Yes!”

Rumble…!

The massive Han Nation Demon Army quickly marched into the Asura Path Secret Realm, leaving only one battalion outside.

Like before, a Gu Hai led this battalion. He waited outside with one million soldiers.

Although the soldiers felt confused, not understanding why one battalion remained behind, no one questioned it.

——

Netherworld Blood Sea City:

Ming He had waited for ten days. The asuras in the city also awaited the battle.

“Could the Han Nation Demon Army have been scared away?”

“The ancestor is incredible. To think that they got scared away just from hearing the ancestor’s voice.”

“If they dare to come again, I will definitely kill them all. There’s also that Wood Asura. Humph! She brought such a great disaster to us. I should have eaten her long ago!”

As the asuras nattered, a voice resounded throughout the city.

“They returned! They returned! The Han Nation Demon Army returned!” an asura suddenly shouted in alarm.

“What?” The expressions of countless asuras changed as they quickly raised their guard.

Many asuras stood on the city gate tower, looking into the distance. A vast, dense mass of soldiers was marching over. These soldiers had already eliminated their foul auras. They held their weapons at the ready and looked coldly at the asuras in the city.

The leaders of the Han Nation Demon Army were the largest asuras, the Gu Hais, who were now one kilometer tall. There was also a group of extremely ferocious asura kings.

Rumble…!

A sea of blood churned above Netherworld Blood Sea City. Long Wanqing was trapped there. At this moment, she suddenly noticed the Han Nation Demon Army returning.

“Gu Hai, you…you should not have come. You should not have come. It is all my fault!” Long Wanqing appeared anxious.

Gu Hai saw Long Wanqing in the distance. When he saw her sorrow, he smiled gently and said, “Wanqing, don’t worry. I’m here. Rest assured. I will definitely defeat Ming He and save you!”

“It’s useless. None of the asuras is a match for Ancestor Ming He! Gu Hai, leave quickly! Leave quickly!” Long Wanqing exhorted anxiously.

“Wood Asura, are you seeking death?” A furious roar suddenly came from the sea of blood in the sky.

It was Ming He’s voice ringing out everywhere.

“Ming He, we are already here. Why make things difficult for Long Wanqing? We will come and fight you. How about that?” Gu Hai shouted.

“Feeling heartache? Hahaha! Softheartedness is the greatest weakness of humans. Come and save her, then. She is right in my sea of blood. If you come and save her, I won’t kill her. How about that?” Ming He said with some arrogance in his voice.

“We are coming to save her. However, since you plotted for us to come, even let us slaughter the entire Asura Path Secret Realm, you probably don’t care about the life and death of these asuras, right? Since that is the case, how about I kill all of them as well?” Gu Hai said coldly.

Ming He’s voice rang out again. “You can kill them if you can!”

“Ancestor!” the asuras in the city cried out in protest.

“The Dao cultivated by the Slaughter Heavenly Dynasty came from this ancestor. The slaughter Dao. Slaughter heaven, slaughter earth, and slaughter everyone. Reach the Dao through slaughter. Why fear death? Go on and kill, Gu Hai. Come on!” Ming He shouted.

“Did you hear that? Kill without restraint. Kill at your fastest speed for us!” Gu Hai shouted.

“Yes!” the soldiers answered.

Boom!

The Unborn Man, Gu Hai, Gao Xianzhi, and the others shouted as they swarmed Netherworld Blood Sea City. However, one hundred ninety-nine Gu Hais soared into the sky.

The Ensnaring Performances followed close behind, soaring into the sky as well.

Rumble…!

The two sides immediately started fighting.

The final remaining city, Netherworld Blood Sea City, was no match for the Han Nation Demon Army, which had slaughtered the entire Asura Path Secret Realm. Resist? There was no way to resist. As long as Ming He did not help, the Han Nation Demon Army could sweep its way through the city.

“Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill!”

Chaotic shouts rang out below. Nearly two hundred Gu Hais instantly reached the sea of blood in the sky.

One Gu Hai led the charge, immediately arriving before Long Wanqing.

“Be careful!” Long Wanqing cried out.

A crimson asura suddenly charged out of the sea of blood, sending a palm strike at that Gu Hai.

Boom!

Gu Hai swung his saber, kicking up an overwhelming wave of blood. However, Gu Hai’s saber strike failed to take down that crimson asura; they seemed to be of equal strength.

“Huh?” Gu Hai’s face sank.

A swarm of Gu Hais rushed over, wanting to chop down that crimson asura.

However, the sea of blood churned frantically. Suddenly, another blood wave surged, and many crimson asuras charged out. An immense force struck the Gu Hais’ manifested sabers.

Boom!

One hundred ninety-nine crimson asuras immediately blocked Gu Hai from reaching Long Wanqing.

Long Wanqing was right in front, but Gu Hai could not approach her. These crimson asuras were too strong. To think that all of them were no weaker than Gu Hai.

“Gu Hai, the Wood Asura is right before you. Can you save her? Hahahaha!” the one hundred ninety-nine crimson asuras laughed.

“We will definitely kill you all!” the Gu Hais said coldly.

As the Gu Hais spoke, they swung their sabers again. Second Cycles, Third Cycles, Fourth Cycles, and Fifth Cycles.

Boom!

The one hundred ninety-nine crimson asuras immediately exploded.

“Pretty good saber technique. Unfortunately, these are not all of this ancestor’s bloody divine offshoots. Hahahaha! Let’s see how many times you can swing your saber!” Maniacal laughter came from the sea of blood.

The sea of blood churned again, and more crimson asuras appeared.

There were so many of them; they seemed endless.

“Ah? There are so many?” a nearby Ensnaring Performance suddenly exclaimed.

“Gu Hai, leave quickly. Ancestor Ming He has four hundred eighty million bloody divine offshoot clones. He aims to exhaust you and weaken your will. Then, he will replace your consciousness and escape this world. Don’t fall for it. Leave quickly! Leave!” Long Wanqing said anxiously.

“You loathsome lass, shut up!” Ming He snorted coldly.

Bang!

A large amount of blood slapped Long Wanqing’s face, making it swell.

“Stop!” Gu Hai suddenly roared furiously.

“Humph! Infinite sea, expand!” Ming He snorted coldly.

Boom!

The vast sea of blood quickly expanded, growing several times larger as it stretched into the distance. Now, even if Gu Hai wanted to flee, he could not.

“Gu Hai, sorry!” Long Wanqing said with great regret.

Now, Gu Hai cannot flee. If not for me, he would not be in trouble.

“Wanqing, don’t blame yourself. It is not your fault!” Gu Hai shook his head.

“Hahahahahaha! What a smitten fellow! How stupid! However, you can no longer flee!” the four hundred eighty million bloody divine offshoots said with ferocious expressions.

“Ming He, we have something that we don’t understand. You want to take over our consciousness—no, you want your consciousness to occupy our spiritual souls. Why wait until now, until we have killed all the asuras?” Gu Hai asked coldly.

“Why? This ancestor has spent countless years in this Asura Path Secret Realm. I can’t just leave all my accumulations behind! Weak spiritual souls can not contain this ancestor’s consciousness; only strong spiritual souls can. The stronger your spiritual souls, the more this ancestor can bring out. That’s enough. After you have killed for so long, you should already be sufficient. You are much more outstanding than the Slaughter Heavenly Emperor. Despite six thousand years, that fool could not even reach the same level as you have! Humph! Humph! Humph!” Ming He snorted three times.
