Chapter 1627: Chapter 1627: Turmoil, a Diversionary Tactic
On the seats.
Xia Yao looked helpless.
She had long anticipated someone would mention this issue.
"Because, at that time, our Eternal Ancient Divine Kingdom didn’t have a National Adviser, and the main duty of maintaining cosmic balance was actually the task of the Adviser."
"Back then, when a massive cosmic war broke out, our previous Adviser had just stepped down, and a new one hadn’t been selected."
"Therefore, no one stepped up to stop it."
Xia Yao explained.
Most of the people looked bewildered.
What the heck?
No Adviser means no prevention?
Could it be that the other Ancient Immortal Emperors of the Eternal Ancient Divine Kingdom are just for show? That’s so bizarre!
Many people were full of doubts.
Xia Yao continued: "Distinguished friends, the Eternal Ancient Divine Kingdom has developed for ten Origin Eras and is no longer the transcendental force it once was, eager to maintain peace across the universe. I believe you could have guessed this."
These words caused a stir in the audience.
No one expected Xia Yao to say such things.
"National Adviser Xia Yao, what do you mean by this?"
"Is the Eternal Ancient Divine Kingdom no longer pure?"
"Could you explain further?"
People from various major forces were very curious.
Even the Black Prison Master looked towards Xia Yao, wanting to know the attitude of the Eternal Ancient Divine Kingdom.
After all, they’re incredibly powerful.
They are a strong country with nine Hundred-layered Immortal Emperors; if their objectives aren’t pure, what force in the universe could stand against them?
Xia Yao sighed:
"A long time ago, when the Eternal Ancient Divine Kingdom was just established, the objective of our entire nation was to maintain cosmic balance."
"But, human hearts can change."
"With the development of the eras, many cultivators in the Eternal Ancient Divine Kingdom have strayed from their original intention and want to compete for the contemporary Heavenly Venerable position."
"This is something we do not wish to see."
"Fortunately, we have someone in the Eternal Ancient Divine Kingdom whose status is second only to the nine Supreme Divine Kings."
"That would be, the National Adviser!"
"Before every Adviser assumes office, they vow with their Dao heart not to participate in the competition for the Heavenly Venerable position in the current Origin Era and to wholeheartedly maintain cosmic balance."
"In the early stage of this Origin Era, the previous Adviser formally stepped down, and I hadn’t been born at that time, nor was I the Adviser, so no one came forward to stop it."
Xia Yao narrated in detail.
"By the way."
"Anyone who becomes the Adviser of the Eternal Ancient Divine Kingdom will have the right to use the Purple Fragrance Divine King Cauldron, just like me now. With this item, I can contend against a Hundred-layered Immortal Emperor."
"Therefore, I’m not afraid of any conspiracy."
"If someone dares to intentionally disrupt cosmic balance, causing a prosperous era not to descend, making it impossible for anyone to prove the Dao in this Origin Era, as the Adviser, I will severely punish those who disrupt cosmic balance."
"So, please cultivate in peace, don’t deliberately disrupt cosmic balance."
Having said this, Xia Yao surveyed the surroundings.
From the moment she passed layer upon layer of assessments and officially received recognition from this great nation of the Eternal Ancient Divine Kingdom as the successor to the Adviser, she obtained the Purple Fragrance Divine King Cauldron.
This item is hidden on her person.
Even though she is now only a fifty to sixty-layered Immortal Emperor, relying on personal strength alone can never match those eightieth-layered Immortal Emperors, but as soon as she activates the Purple Fragrance Divine King Cauldron, even a Ninety Layer Immortal Emperor can be effortlessly slain.
"Rest assured, National Adviser Xia Yao, we are not the kind of people who like to destroy." Green Destiny Immortal Emperor spoke.
"We have always loved peace." Heavenly Cloud Immortal Emperor gently stroked his beard and said.
"Maintaining cosmic balance is everyone’s responsibility."
Other Ancient Immortal Emperors expressed the same sentiment.
On the seats.
Ye Feng felt uneasy.
It seemed something major was about to erupt.
"Hahaha! Truly ridiculous!"
He heard the Black Prison Master laughing up to the sky, his face full of ruthlessness and disdain, looking around, "All that nonsense about maintaining cosmic balance, in my opinion, if you want to prove the Dao and become Heavenly Venerable, you must learn to be unscrupulous."
These words caused another stir in the audience.
Xia Yao coldly glared at the Black Prison Master.
Ye Feng looked at this person, thinking that this guy had too much courage. Didn’t he know that this was the Eternal Ancient Divine Kingdom, and Xia Yao nearby had the Purple Fragrance Divine King Cauldron that could kill him at any moment?
Creating trouble at this time was suicidal, wasn’t it?
Ye Feng couldn’t figure it out.
"Black Prison Master, what do you mean? Are you openly opposing me as the Adviser?"
Xia Yao angrily said.
The Black Prison Master grinned, glancing at Silent Death Emperor and the others beside him, shouting suddenly: "Do it!"
Riiip!
The Black Prison Master made the first move, instead of attacking Ye Feng or killing Xia Yao, he blasted a fierce black qi light towards the unsuspecting Lei Wudao.
"What are you doing?"
Lei Wudao shouted immediately.
The Protector beside him narrowed his pupils, clasped his hands together, and quickly raised a shield to block the black qi light coming from the Black Prison Master.
Pop!
This qi light suddenly reflected, slashing towards the guest seats not far away, instantly killing dozens of Ancient Immortal Emperors and those reincarnated talents they were protecting.
Silent Death Emperor and other hundreds of Ancient Immortal Emperors from the Black Prison Demon Sect all made their moves.
Several nearby Immortal Emperors were blasted away.
The whole hall suddenly fell into chaos.
"You... audacious!"
How could Xia Yao watch the Black Prison Master stir trouble with her eyes open? She immediately activated the Purple Fragrance Divine King Cauldron, blasting out a pale purple light that precisely penetrated the Black Prison Master and the troublemaking Ancient Immortal Emperors like Silent Death Emperor.
Boom!
As strong as the Black Prison Master, who was a Peak Eighty-one layered Immortal Emperor, was, he got easily obliterated, and the remaining troublemakers like Silent Death Emperor couldn’t escape either.
On the seats.
"This is bad!"
Ye Feng suddenly stood up, for during the chaos caused by the Black Prison Master and others, he suddenly realized that the Outer Domain Ape-man who had been stationary miles away disappeared, only to appear in the Eternal Ancient Divine Pool in the very next moment.
"The Black Prison Master and others must be trying to delay and attract attention to cause a disturbance, allowing the Outer Domain Ape-man to seize the energy of the Eternal Ancient Divine Pool."
He understood it all.
But it was too late.
"Jie jie jie, thank you, Little Blackie and this group of cannon fodder for delaying time, I have succeeded in my grand plan!"
The arrogant voice echoed across the universe.
Everyone followed the sound only to see a pale white stream rushing up from the Eternal Ancient Divine Pool, tearing through the void and disappearing without a trace. It was unclear where it would go.
"The Black Prison is in danger!"
Ye Feng shouted, quickly tearing through the void, many people changed their expressions, swiftly following.
Eastern Sea Area of the Immortal Realm, Black Prison entrance.
The Shattered Gate buried underground suddenly emerged, absorbing the vast energy from the Eternal Ancient Divine Pool, causing it to gradually burst with scorching light.
Pop! Pop! Pop!
Streams of pale white shine erupted from the Shattered Gate, sweeping like tides around, shaking the black city gate of the Black Prison violently, causing black bricks to constantly fall off.
"We’re doomed!"
Ye Feng and others arrived here just in time to see the Black Prison tower collapsing, while the Shattered Gate pushed through, smashing all the iron gates within Black Prison.
From then on, the Black Prison was unobstructed.
Anyone could come and go freely.
"How did it come to this?"
Ye Feng suddenly clenched his fist, knowing well the conspiracy from the Outer Domain Ape-man, but never expected this person would collaborate with the Black Prison Master, nor think they would act at a cross-year event where strong figures convened.
Boom!
The interior of the Black Prison constantly fractured, producing numerous black spatial cracks, connecting to various parts of the universe.
"Jie jie jie!"
"We’re finally free."
The long-imprisoned criminals shouted, fleeing through these nearby cracks, escaping the Black Prison.
"Damn it!"
Xia Yao came to Ye Feng’s side, shocked to find a Ninety-layer Immortal Emperor level mole hidden within the Eternal Ancient Divine Kingdom, able to mobilize the power of the Eternal Ancient Divine Pool.
"The Black Prison is broken, the universe is in chaos."
Ye Feng sighed.
[Good night!]
