NOVPUBChapter 1049: 902 Chapter 1049: 902 “It’s here!”
On the fifth day, White Emperor suddenly looked up toward a certain direction, and said softly.
At that moment, a terrifying power was rushing from that direction.
“Netherworld Ghost Practitioner, not content to stay in the Netherworld, you dare to occupy the universe of spirits, you’ve got some nerve!” Soon, a majestic voice rang out.
At the same time, a terrifying force entered this universe of spirits and rapidly began to cover the core of the entire realm.
A Saint King Level spirit powerhouse had arrived!
“Boom—”
However, before his power could fully extend, a strong retaliatory force slammed into his Domain Power, causing it to start collapsing on a large scale.
“What?”
A middle-aged man exclaimed in shock. This man was the Saint King Level spirit powerhouse who had just arrived.
He was very confident upon arrival, and not without reason.
Though he was not very high in the Saint King Realm, only at the level of a lower Saint King.
However, the strength of Ghost Practitioners from the Netherworld was suppressed in the great world of spirits; even a Ghost Practitioner at the Mid Term Realm of the Saint Kings, upon arrival in the great world of spirits and even when facing off against a lower Saint King level spirit powerhouse, would only have a slight advantage.
And according to what he knew, the overall strength of the Netherworld wasn’t strong; Saint King Level Ghost Practitioners were extremely rare, and higher-order Saint King Level Ghost Practitioners were exceedingly uncommon. So encountering a Mid-Term Realm Ghost Practitioner would already be a stroke of luck for him.
Why should he worry then?
He had not anticipated… that he would be overpowered after just one clash, and his Domain Power was shattered.
This meant that the opponent’s strength far surpassed his!
“What level of Ghost Practitioner is this?” the middle-aged man thought, his heart pounding.
“You dare to trespass into my Domain Power, you’re quite bold!” At this moment, White Emperor sneered.
This Saint King Level spirit powerhouse had collided with his Domain Power as soon as he arrived, something even White Emperor hadn’t expected. Now, with his Domain Power shattered, the spirit powerhouse was at an immediate disadvantage.
One mistake led to another, and now it would not be easy for this Saint King Level spirit to regain the upper hand.
This was good; otherwise, dealing with this Saint King Level spirit would have been a bit troublesome for him. What if the opponent had realized his strength early on and decided to flee? It would be a dilemma whether to chase or not.
Now, things were much better.
“Boom!”
A powerful Domain Power emanated from White Emperor, quickly enveloping the Saint King Level spirit.
“Not good! This Ghost Practitioner is extremely powerful, I’ve fallen into a disadvantage, unable to counterattack, I must leave quickly!” The Saint King Level spirit realized White Emperor’s strength and couldn’t help but inhale sharply.
While speaking, the Saint King Level spirit did not hesitate and turned to flee.
“Thinking you can come and go as you please, what do you take this place for? And thinking of leaving now, don’t you think it’s too late?” White Emperor said lightly with a smile. As he spoke, he continuously unleashed forces from his hand toward the Saint King Level spirit powerhouse.
Below the soul-body, a Bone Claw would occasionally appear and disappear.
“Bone Ghost Practitioner… Are you White Emperor, one of the Nine Emperors of the Netherworld?” The Saint King Level spirit, while counterattacking, saw this scene and couldn’t help but look distressed.
At this moment, his feelings were truly terrible, utterly awful… A high-rank Saint King Level, and also a Bone Ghost Practitioner, it was almost certain that it was White Emperor, one of the Nine Emperors of the Netherworld.
Though the Cultivators of the greater world of spirits rarely interacted with the Netherworld, as a Saint King Level powerhouse of the great world of spirits, he still had some knowledge of the top powerhouses in the Netherworld.
After all, the Netherworld connected all realms, and one never knew when they might have to deal with Ghost Practitioners from the Netherworld. It was always useful to have some knowledge beforehand.
With more than billions upon billions of Ghost Practitioners, the Nine Emperors of the Netherworld were the strongest among them. How unlucky could he be to have encountered one of them?
“Good eye, recognizing my identity. Since that’s the case, why don’t you surrender without further resistance, to spare yourself the effort…” White Emperor’s voice curled with a hint of mockery as he spoke lowly.
Fame and fortune are sought after by many, and not without reason.
As one of the supreme beings of the Netherworld, now in the realm of the spirits, it had been recognized by the powerful entities of this world, and they regarded it with apprehension, a sensation it found most pleasing.
Upon hearing the admission from White Emperor, that Saint King Level spirit’s face grew even uglier, but soon he snapped, “So what if you are one of the Nine Emperors from the Netherworld? Maybe if you were one of the top few among the Nine Emperors, I’d have reason to fear you. Unfortunately, you’re just one of the lower-ranked Nine Emperors!”
“If you were the legendary Blood Emperor, I wouldn’t utter another word, I would just surrender to you. Sadly, you’re not!”
“A low-ranked Emperor of the Netherworld, demanding my surrender? You certainly think highly of yourself!”
By the end, the Saint King Level spirit scoffed coldly. After all, he was a strong contender from the spirit realm – it was outrageous that a lowly ranked Emperor from the Netherworld dared to threaten him like this!
His words made White Emperor’s face cloud over.
Especially when the Saint King Level spirit mentioned the Blood Emperor, White Emperor felt a rush of anger.
After all, this campaign was meant to target the reincarnation of the Blood Emperor… Seeing the other party hold the Blood Emperor in such high regard naturally irked him.
“Since you are so eager to die, then I shall oblige you!” White Emperor said icily.
“Boom!”
In the next moment, White Emperor flashed toward the Saint King Level spirit, simultaneously launching his signature move Bone Claw in his direction.
“What? Did I hit a nerve? The Nine Emperors of the Netherworld, the nine great supreme beings – such grand titles that sound so fearsome!”
Yet, they are nothing but beings with an incomplete path to the heavens, what are they really? Only the Blood Emperor is slightly esteemed, the rest are all trash!
“You only dare to confront and threaten a lowly Saint King like myself!”
“In the realm of spirits, there are countless stronger individuals, many surpassing the Sanctuary Realm. Do you have the courage to take on the superior Saint Kings, the Peak Saint Kings, or those surpassing the Sanctuary Realm?
“What skill is there in taking me on now?”
Seeing that his words had an impact on White Emperor, the Saint King Level spirit sensed an opportunity and quickly continued.
In a moment of irrationality, one often makes poor decisions. White Emperor’s immense strength made him hard to cope with, and now, his only hope was that his words would cause White Emperor to make a mistake, which might give him a sliver of a chance to live.
“Heh, Blood Emperor? What’s so special about the Blood Emperor?” White Emperor sneered coldly.
No matter how strong the Blood Emperor was, he had fallen to the point of reincarnation, hadn’t he?
No matter how strong the Blood Emperor was, he had reached a point where his life and death were controlled by White Emperor, hadn’t he?
The Blood Emperor, no matter how strong… would soon be slain by him!
And then, he would rise to replace and transcend the Blood Emperor!
“What’s so special about the Blood Emperor? Heh… I suppose it makes sense. You’re just someone who became one of the Nine Emperors of the Netherworld in the most recent tens of millions of years. When the Blood Emperor was glorious, you probably didn’t even know which corner you were cowering in!” Seeing that White Emperor was so concerned about the Blood Emperor, the Saint King Level spirit did not mind praising the Blood Emperor further to provoke him, sneering coldly as he spoke.
“In one battle, a single sword slashed down ten thousand saints, causing several Saint Kings to fall! One sword broke through the eighth layer of the Netherworld! These are all the Blood Emperor’s feats. Compared to him, aren’t you, the White Emperor, just trash? More like the trash of the trash!” The Saint King Level spirit paused before adding.
His words were not insincere – in the realm of the spirits, the reputation of the Blood Emperor was significant, an infamous presence genuinely earned through slaughter. Among the Nine Emperors of the Netherworld, the Blood Emperor’s fame was the largest in the spirit realm.
“Heh heh…” White Emperor let out a chilling laugh.
“Very well, since you admire the Blood Emperor so much, then go keep him company!” White Emperor said ominously.
“Rumble—”
As his voice faded, a terrifying force radiated from White Emperor’s body, quickly enveloping the Saint King Level spirit.
“Not good!”
Seeing this development, the face of the Saint King Level spirit went pale, and he cried out.
It seemed his clever ploy had backfired, only serving to unleash an even greater power from White Emperor.
