“Ancient Spirit Race.”

“Before the Ancient Sovereign Mystic Nether, they unified the Wanggu Race!”

Standing in this world filled with death, Old Ninth looked at the dim sky and calmly spoke.

“Their race is good at fighting. The young ones are born as snakes, eventually transforming into human form. Then, accompanied by dragons and snakes, they achieve the ancient spirit battle physique.”

“When this race ruled the Wanggu Era, the various races were suppressed till they couldn’t even dare to raise their heads in front of them.”

“Even the human race back then was weak and fragmented.”

As Old Ninth spoke, he walked forward. With every step he took, the sky churned and the ground rumbled. Countless souls scattered in all directions and the bones in the mud trembled.

The aura from Old Ninth’s body grew increasingly intense as he moved forward. There was also a faint aura that didn’t belong to Wanggu that seemed to have risen from his body, guiding a foreign world.

Xu Qing and Erniu followed behind.

Erniu looked around, extremely curious about this place. From time to time, he would squat down, digging out some soil and grabbing some souls. His gaze grew increasingly intense.

Clearly, he was very interested in this place.

As for Xu Qing, his expression was serious as he listened to Ninth Grandpa.

Although he had some understanding of Ancient Spirit Race, it was clearly lacking in front of Ninth Grandpa, who had lived since the Ancient Sovereign Mystic Nether era.

What made him pay even more attention was the aura that didn’t belong to Wanggu that Ninth Grandpa emitted.

In the past, Xu Qing might have been ignorant about this. However, now that his right eye had erase authority, he could see karma.

Hence, in his eyes, the aura emitted by Ninth Grandpa was karma from beyond this world.

‘Eldest Senior Brother once said that Senior Li Zihua is returning… The aura on Ninth Grandpa’s body looks like a signal.’

Xu Qing fell into deep thought as Old Ninth’s words continued to echo.

“Although the Ancient Spirit Race was powerful, the time they spent ruling Wanggu was like a flash in the pan. After reaching the peak in a short period, their Spirit Emperor did a crazy thing.”

“He gathered the strength of the entire race and fortune to plot against the Heavenly Dao.”

“He tried to possess all the Heavenly Daos and gather all the Heavenly Daos into one, making himself the strongest and only Heavenly Dao in Wanggu.”

“If he succeeded, his will would be Wanggu’s will. His Dao would be Wanggu’s Dao.”

“He could use this to surpass the Summer Immortals who once founded Wanggu and raised many Heavenly Daos. From then on, the fate of Wanggu would belong to one person.”

“It would also allow the Ancient Spirit Race to rule Wanggu forever and suppress all races. He would also break through the bottleneck of the Summer Immortal and walk his own immortal path.”

When Old Ninth said this, his expression revealed a hint of admiration. What he admired wasn’t the actions of the Ancient Spirit Emperor but the ambition and choice of an expert.

“Such a person…”

Old Ninth stopped in his tracks and looked at the void in the distance. A hint of battle intent appeared in his eyes as he slowly raised his right hand, as though he was grabbing at the sky.

At the same time, Erniu, who was following behind Xu Qing and Old Ninth, dug out a skeleton from the ground. After putting it away, seeing that Xu Qing was listening attentively, Erniu coughed and prepared to reveal his knowledge as the eldest senior brother.

He imitated Old Ninth’s tone and calmly spoke.

“But that was a great rebellion!”

“Therefore, the possibility of success was naturally extremely slim. In the end, the Spirit Emperor failed and suffered the backlash from all the Heavenly Daos in Wanggu. His race’s bloodline was cursed.”

“At the critical moment, Spirit Emperor relied on his terrifying cultivation to bring most of his clansmen into his great world in an attempt to avoid the calamity of his entire race perishing under the backlash of the Wanggu Heavenly Dao. However, even so, they still couldn’t escape the curse in the end.”

“Therefore, when the Spirit Emperor died, his great world withered and transformed into a Death Realm. All the ancient spirit members in it were instantly exterminated, but the terrifying aspect of this curse wasn’t simply death.”

“After all, that was a curse that came from all the Heavenly Daos of Wanggu. Under that curse, the dead ancient spirits turned into ghosts who wailed in pain day and night.”

“This withered death realm became the Ancient Spirit Death Nation, eternally enduring the torture of the curse and buried deep underground in the Wanggu.”

“At the same time…”

Erniu was about to show off his knowledge but before he could finish speaking, Old Ninth raised his hand and grabbed at the sky. Immediately, the sky rumbled and countless muffled thunder exploded in the sky.

Thousands of bolts of lightning gathered from the sky and headed straight for Old Ninth, shining the world as they landed on his raised right hand.

With a clench of his hand, the endless lightning directly transformed into a lightning longsword.

As soon as this sword appeared, the color of the world changed.

A powerful aura and terrifying fluctuations rose from Old Ninth’s body. After that… he slashed at the sky.

There seemed to be a furious roar coming from the void. At the next instant, a huge crack appeared in the sky as this terrifying sword slashed across.

Storm spread out from the crack and swept in all directions. At the same time, a familiar scene appeared from the crack.

That place was a palace.

Deep within the palace, there was a mountain of flesh, with a gigantic floating eye at its peak.

At that moment, the eye opened, revealing a golden light. He was staring angrily at this place through the crack.

He saw Xu Qing, whom He hadn’t seen for a long time. However, what He cared about the most at this moment was the figure whose sword slashed through the world and whose entire body was filled with killing intent.

He recognized him!

When He fought against Crimson Goddess, He had taken notice of Li Zihua’s ninth son. The reason was that the full-strength slash of the latter before Crimson Goddess had caused His mind to waver as well.

Xu Qing was about to speak when Old Ninth took a step forward and stepped into the crack, appearing above the huge eye of the Ancient Spirit Emperor.

“Such guts!”

A deep shout that contained the rules of this world of death rang out from the Ancient Spirit Emperor.

In an instant, the sky in the world where the Ancient Spirit Emperor was located became even darker. The ground continued to rise and countless souls and bones appeared.

There was also the Yellow Springs River.

That was the will of the entire world!

It moved with the Ancient Spirit Emperor’s divine sense.

Not only that, but there was also an ability that seemed like authority or divine authority that shone in the huge eye of the Ancient Spirit Emperor. That was a special ability that belonged to Him.

Under that gaze, all enemies would be heavily injured if they were lightly injured. If they were heavily injured, they would die.

At the same time, in the Ancient Spirit World, the other 98 imperial palaces and the gigantic eyes all opened their eyes at this moment. They all stared at Old Ninth and were ready to attack.

Old Ninth’s expression didn’t change at all. However, amidst his coldness, there was even more battle intent, as though he really wanted to fight.

The situation instantly reached a boiling point.

Xu Qing walked out of the crack and stood beside Old Ninth, respectfully speaking.

“Ninth Grandpa, let me handle this matter. His Majesty the Spirit Emperor isn’t an outsider. There’s no need for us to fight.”

Old Ninth glanced at Xu Qing and frowned. In the end, he reluctantly agreed.

After convincing Ninth Grandpa, Xu Qing turned and bowed to the Ancient Spirit Emperor.

“Junior greets Your Majesty.”

The Ancient Spirit Emperor’s heart churned and countless curses erupted in His heart. Just as He was about to roar out angrily, a portion of His gaze landed on Xu Qing. All the curses turned into shock.

“Your body…”

All of the Ancient Spirit Emperor’s gigantic eyes narrowed in unison.

Previously, His attention had been attracted by Old Ninth. Now that His gaze landed on Xu Qing, He immediately sensed how terrifying Xu Qing’s body was.

“1 had some opportunities, so my body has undergone some changes. I’ll explain to Your Majesty about this later. I came here today for the imperial qi.”

Xu Qing looked at the thirteen dragons formed by the fortune of the Ancient Spirit Race in the surroundings of the Ancient Spirit Emperor’s giant eye and slowly spoke.

“No!”

The Ancient Spirit Emperor suppressed the shock in His heart and His huge eyes revealed a dark glint as He directly rejected.

Xu Qing’s expression was calm, not surprised by the Ancient Spirit Emperor’s answer. He had interacted with the other party too many times and the three of them actually had a plan on the way here.

Hence, a smile appeared on his face and he spoke softly.

“Your Majesty, I’m here on the orders of the Human Empress.”

“Although Your Majesty is in seclusion here, Your Majesty should have sensed the fluctuations of our Human Empress advancing to the Divine Platform previously.”

As Xu Qing spoke, he spread out the fortune of the human race, causing the power of fortune to circle around him. He even changed into the official robe of the crown prince’s grand tutor.

“The person who is speaking now was personally conferred the title of King Zhen Cang by the Human Empress and was also appointed as the crown prince’s grand tutor! He was also conferred the title of Grand Mystic Heaven by the Flame Moon Mystic Heaven Race’s three gods!”

Erniu spoke loudly and proudly. He naturally knew how to coordinate with Xu Qing.

Heavy breathing rang out in this dead world. All the huge eyes of the Ancient Spirit Emperor stirred at this moment.

Although He didn’t see the Human Empress becoming a god directly, He did sense it.

It was impossible to say that He wasn’t wary.

However, the unwillingness in His heart was still rising. The feeling of being robbed made Him feel that His prestige had been challenged.

Xu Qing glanced at Erniu.

Erniu smiled and gazed down at the huge eye of the Ancient Spirit Emperor, his voice ringing out clearly from his elevated position.

“Junior Brother, I know that you have a relationship with Ancient Spirit Emperor and aren’t willing to bully the weak. Otherwise, as long as we report this to Master, with his Summer Immortal status, he, who was able to easily reshape your physical body, can naturally suppress this realm with a single palm!”

The Ancient Spirit Emperor was shocked again.

At the same time, seeing that the communication was fruitless, Old Ninth revealed a hint of impatience.

“Why waste your breath? My father is about to return. If you don’t give me the imperial qi today, I’ll snatch them by force. If I’m injured, I’ll destroy all your plans of rebirth and revival on the day my father returns.”

With that, the aura emitted by Old Ninth’s body became even denser and even formed a blurry starry sky. There seemed to be a blood-red star approaching.

The sense of oppression caused the Ancient Spirit Emperor’s heart to churn again.

However, his past dignity still made Him unable to accept the grievance of being extorted. His breathing became increasingly hurried.

Seeing that the timing was about right, Xu Qing took a few steps forward and stood in front of the huge eye before bowing again.

“Your Majesty, 1 haven’t finished speaking yet. 1 didn’t come here to simply ask for the thirteen strands of imperial qi but to make a deal.”

After saying that, Xu Qing raised his hand and took out the puppet from the Spirit Sound Forbidden Region, handing it to the Ancient Spirit Emperor.

“This was the master of the forbidden region, 1 hope Your Majesty likes this spirit.”

This was giving the Ancient Spirit Emperor a way out.

The Ancient Spirit Emperor cursed inwardly. He could naturally tell that the three of them were putting on an act. It was just that… regardless of whether it was the Empress, Xu Qing’s master, or Li Zihua, they weren’t people He could afford to provoke now.

Moreover, He still had something major underway in the dark. Once a Divine Platform descended, His plan would probably be exposed immediately.

Hence, a long time later, the Ancient Spirit Emperor suppressed the disgust in His heart and glared fiercely at Xu Qing. His huge eye emitted a suction force that instantly sucked the puppet in.

Crunching sounds rang out as though all the grievances were placed on biting. Ten breaths later, the thirteen fortune dragons beside the Ancient Spirit Emperor let out deep roars and headed straight for Xu Qing’s group.

Accompanying them was the suppressed and gloomy voice of the Ancient Spirit Emperor.

“Leave! Don’t come again!”
