NOVPUBChapter 1108: Chapter 930: Who Exactly Is It? Chapter 1108: Chapter 930: Who Exactly Is It? “Emperor Wu?” the Tri-Eyed Emperor turned around, glanced at Emperor Wu, and spoke.
He was the Lord of the 36th Layered Heaven, and Emperor Wu was the Lord of the 34th Layered Heaven. The 36th Layered Heaven and the 34th Layered Heaven were not far from each other, and they were relatively familiar with each other. However, that was it. They were not particularly close. After speaking, it was considered a greeting. Then, the Tri-Eyed Emperor turned back around.
“I didn’t expect the Tri-Eyed Emperor to break through the 37th Layered Heaven so quickly, shattering both the 36th and the 37th Layered Heavens, traversing two minor wholes. It’s truly a joyous occasion…” Emperor Wu took a deep breath and offered his congratulations.
Since the 37th Layered Heaven had already been broken by the other party, there was no use for him to fret. The other party was already stronger than him, and now that they had broken through the 37th Layered Heaven, they must be even stronger. It was better for him to speak politely and get on good terms with the other party.
“Heh… Emperor Wu must be mistaken. It wasn’t me who broke through the 37th Layered Heaven…” Upon hearing Emperor Wu’s words, the Tri-Eyed Emperor turned his head again, looked at Emperor Wu, and said with a light smile.
“What? It wasn’t you who broke the 37th Layered Heaven?” Hearing what the Tri-Eyed Emperor said, Emperor Wu was greatly surprised.
During their conversation, he looked closely at the location of the Tri-Eyed Emperor and indeed saw that the Tri-Eyed Emperor was only somewhat close to the place where the 37th Layered Heaven was broken, but it was not the Tri-Eyed Emperor who was stirring up the storm.
The Tri-Eyed Emperor was looking up at the core location where the 37th Layered Heaven was truly broken, and following his gaze, Emperor Wu also hurriedly looked up, only to see that at the center of the commotion, streams of terrifying Yin energy were rushing crazily towards that spot, obscuring the scene from view, preventing him from clearly seeing what was happening.
“Who could it be… Could it be Emperor Proud, the Lord of the 35th Layered Heaven? No, his strength shouldn’t be enough…” Emperor Wu’s expression changed uncertainly as he spoke in a grave tone.
“Boom!”
Just as Emperor Wu spoke, a spatial rift tore open near their location, and a Black Dragon flew out from within, passing by like a fleeting shadow.
“Emperor Proud?” Emperor Wu’s eyebrows twitched as he spoke.
This Black Dragon was none other than Emperor Proud, the Lord of the 35th Layered Heaven. It was not an Innate Ghost Practitioner, but a black dragon from the Spirit World that had fallen and then cultivated its strength anew in the Netherworld with the identity of a Ghost Practitioner, eventually shattering the Netherworld’s 35th Layered Heaven. Indeed, it was quite a monstrous existence.
Speak of the devil and he shall appear. Emperor Wu had just mentioned the other party, and here they came.
“Emperor Wu? Tri-Eyed Emperor?” The black dragon flew near, its ghostly form shifting into a human shape, as it looked towards Emperor Wu and the Tri-Eyed Emperor, and said.
“Emperor Proud, you’ve come as well?” the Tri-Eyed Emperor turned his head to glance at Emperor Proud and greeted him once more.
However, this time, Emperor Proud did not respond to the Tri-Eyed Emperor but instead fixed his gaze on Emperor Wu, speaking in a deep voice, “Emperor Wu, you’ve unjustly slain a Saint King Level Ghost Practitioner in my Layered Heaven. Are you not taking me seriously?”
If Emperor Wu had killed a mere ordinary Ghost Practitioner, he would not have even asked, but the Ghost Practitioner slain by Emperor Wu was a mid-level Saint King Realm Ghost Practitioner, which was a top-tier combat force in the entire Netherworld.
The mid-level Saint King Realm Ghost Practitioner was cultivating in the 35th Layered Heaven, not in some other layered heaven, naturally relating somewhat to him, and in one aspect, was his subordinate. If the latter died and he did not inquire about it, it would cool the hearts of the other Ghost Practitioners.
Moreover, the actions of Emperor Wu indeed seemed a bit like a slap in the face to him.
“Emperor Proud is overreacting. That Karlso dared to deceive me, so I had no choice but to punish him a little. Otherwise, he would think that I’m so easily deceived?” Emperor Wu laughed and responded.
“A little punishment? You mean directly annihilating him?” Emperor Proud rebuked angrily.
“By not subjecting him to an endless cycle of reincarnation, I’ve already shown you face. Otherwise, an ordinary mid-level Saint King who dares to provoke me, I would have him obliterated in body and spirit, never to transcend!” Emperor Wu said indifferently.
“So, I should thank you for that? As far as I know, Karlso was severely wounded by a spirit before Emperor Wu took advantage of his vulnerable state to eliminate him, right? Well done, Emperor Wu sure lives up to his name, always in true Emperor Wu style!” Emperor Proud responded with an angry laugh.
“You—” Hearing Emperor Proud’s sarcastic remarks, a cold glint suddenly shot through Emperor Wu’s eyes.
“However, I cannot fail to seek justice for my subordinate Ghost Practitioner. Let’s have our battle now!” At that moment, Emperor Proud snorted coldly and said.
“Now listen, Emperor Proud, even if you want to fight, choose a better time. Right now, the 37th Layered Heaven is being shattered by a Ghost Practitioner. Don’t you want to know who is doing it?” Emperor Wu took a deep breath and spoke in a heavy tone.
“What? The 37th Layered Heaven has been broken?” It must be said that Emperor Proud was a bit thick-skinned, or perhaps he came in anger, having concentrated all his attention on Emperor Wu without carefully sensing the surroundings. Shocked by what Emperor Wu had said, he replied in surprise.
Afterward, he abruptly looked up in the direction of the Tri-Eyed Emperor.
There was a significant commotion over there, which he had vaguely noticed before but hadn’t scrutinized carefully.
As the Lord of the 35th Layered Heaven and one of the forefront existences among the Nine Emperors, he didn’t need to pay attention to what was happening in the Netherworld that could be detrimental to him, so when he entered the 36th Layered Heaven, although he felt something significant happening, he didn’t care about it.
What did it matter to him?
He just needed to do what he came for—getting even with Emperor Wu!
