Chapter 1356: Chapter 1312: Spiritual Vein Enters the World, Ghost Descends into Nine Nether! (Additional Chapter for Alliance Leader Xiaobai)

Born under the auspicious destiny of the Ghost Tribe, a Ghost Child must naturally prioritize the future of the entire tribe above all else. He was the one born in response to the Ghost Tribe’s collective will sensing an impending catastrophe, conceived to lead the Ghost Tribe in breaking through the calamities.

The reason it’s said that the Heavens above are in chaos is precisely because the collective wills of various great races have all sensed the crisis of the great calamity, prompting their instinctual responses.

Over the long years, the collective wills of the Hundred Clans of Heaven have become a type of special life form, possessing a consciousness that seeks fortune and avoids disaster.

Some give birth to children of destiny, some feedback their destiny, all with the desire to produce more Strong Ones within their own groups, or even those at the pinnacle, in order to survive the crisis.

Just as everyone was intently staring at the midair, the Desolate Wilds Earth that finally materialized amidst the vast Chaotic Airflow began to pulsate more violently.

Ao~! Ao! Ao!

The sound of dragon roars became increasingly solidified, and even the kings could hear a hint of anger within, indicating that the Spiritual Vein, being pulled out by Xiao Chen, was desperately resisting.

"What a powerful spiritual energy! This is at least a King-level Spiritual Meridian. Even a Heaven-level Spiritual Vein has become extremely rare in today’s Desolate Wilds, not to mention the King-level ones!"

"This is a treasure capable of suppressing a King-level Tribe, rumored to be a Heavenly Earth Spiritual Vein that transforms into a dragon—the mark of a King-level Spiritual Meridian, enough to nurture an entire Emperor Clan!"

"It’s not a rumor, but the truth. The spiritual energy in a King-level Spiritual Meridian is so abundant that even high level kings seated deep within it for cultivation needn’t fear it running dry."

Hearing the shouts of the human kings, You Shouguang had a nostalgic look in his eyes, but he swiftly spoke with a serious tone.

There was a time when the Bear Emperor Blood Noble Family was graced by the presence of a founding emperor who, deep in the Beyond Realm Celestial, had paid a great cost to refine a piece of the Starry Sea, extracting tens of thousands of stars to condense a King-level Spiritual Meridian and place it within the Xiong Family.

It was thanks to this King-level Spiritual Meridian that the Xiong Family gave birth to great emperors for several generations after the founding emperor passed away, all related to the King-level Spiritual Meridian. Unfortunately, even though it was also a King-level Spiritual Meridian, it was vastly different.

The Spiritual Vein of the Xiong Family was artificially condensed and after being consumed over several generations, eventually couldn’t stave off exhaustion. In contrast, the Spiritual Vein Xiao Chen extracted from the ancient Desolate Wilds space-time was naturally formed between Heaven and Earth.

Capable of autonomously absorbing Heaven and Earth’s Vital Energy to replenish itself, and even in times of insufficient spiritual energy, one could input Spirit Items to nurture it.

"It’s out, the legends are actually true!"

"Indeed, from the afterimage world of the ancient Desolate era, turning illusion into reality and extracting the Spiritual Vein!"

At the zenith of the Sky Vault, gleaming with rainbow brilliance, a dense and expansive net was being progressively dragged out from the illusory scene.

Through the net, as dense as fish scales, the silhouettes of two dragon horns composed entirely of energy were faintly visible, propping up a high convex in the rainbow divine net.

"Open!"

Suddenly, a thunderous shout from Xiao Chen resonated between Heaven and Earth.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Roaring thunder exploded across the sky, with lightning like a spider’s web slashing down, tearing apart the scattering Chaotic Airflow. Amidst this turbulent air, the phantom image of a divine dragon materialized.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

In front of the many human kings, the full true form of the King-level Heavenly Earth Spiritual Meridian was now fully revealed.

"Is a King-level Spiritual Meridian really so small?"

Suddenly, a king questioned, as the King-level Spiritual Meridian displayed before everyone was only a hundred zhang in size. It looked vivid and lifelike, indistinguishable from a true dragon, but it seemed too small!

"This is not the true form of the Spiritual Meridian. If a King-level Spiritual Meridian were to materialize, it should be at least ten thousand li in size. If it can grow to one hundred thousand li, it would be enough to transform into an Imperial-level Spiritual Meridian, even capable of surviving a heavenly tribulation, defying the natural order, and turning into a Spirit Emperor!"

What!

Imperial-level Spiritual Meridian!

Everyone gasped in shock. If King-level Spiritual Meridians are rare, there have been a few throughout ancient times, but there was only one Imperial-level Spiritual Meridian across the entire Wilderness Earth among the Hundred Realms!

That is beneath the Human Emperor Palace in the central Earth of the Human Realm, and throughout the ages, there’s only ever been that one, rumored to have already transformed into a Spirit Emperor.

As for the four corners of the Human Realm’s Earth, there are no Imperial-level Spiritual Meridians, but there are indeed four peak King-level Spiritual Meridians, each located within the Human Emperor Palaces.

As for the various Emperor Clans, Imperial Blood Noble Families, and some old King-level Tribes of the Human Realm, perhaps they possess King-level Spiritual Meridians, though they are of a lower level within the King tier.

Even emperors, who consolidate spiritual power to form Spiritual Veins, can only reach the upper echelons of the King tier at most; it seems to be a limitation, just like with the Xiong Family.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

However, just as Xiao Chen pulled out the Heavenly Earth Spiritual Meridian, another sound of thunder followed.

It wasn’t over!

To everyone’s astonishment, Xiao Chen’s entire body shone with multicolored divine radiance, and the illusion of the Desolate Wilds trembled even more fiercely, even distorting the entire Heaven and Earth.

"What is that!"

In everyone’s amazement, the sky above was torn apart, with streaks of lightning flashing wildly, purple lightning and silver dragons danced furiously, all converging toward Xiao Chen, pulling back Spirit Items from the afterimage of the ancient Desolate Land. This was tantamount to changing the Heavenly Order, and evidently, Heaven and Earth were responsive.

"It’s a mountain!"

A king exclaimed in surprise!

However, this time it was a fleeting glimpse; as only a corner of the black rock was exposed, Xiao Chen’s Small World collided head-on with it, engulfing it.

Boom!

Within the Small World, a thunderous explosion erupted as the silhouette of an Ancient Mountain materialized, instantly growing to hundreds of miles in size, and crashed straight down onto the Earth!

All at once, the dense Spiritual Power burst forth, surging in all directions.

Roar!

Suddenly, the sound of a dragon’s roar echoed throughout, as the Dragon Shadow almost enveloped the entire Heaven and Earth, plummeting towards the Ancient Mountain.

The Heavenly Earth Spiritual Veins fused with the treasure mountain once again, but this treasure mountain brought back from the ancient past was beyond his expectations.

It started to expand at a visible rate, spreading in all directions and growing into a massive Mountain Range that spanned a thousand miles, occupying one-tenth of the Small World!

Hum hum hum!

Yet this was not the end. The Earth within Xiao Chen’s Small World roared. The ground made of Yellow Mud churned like tidal waves, rushing from all directions towards the Mountain Range.

In the blink of an eye, the yellow soil covered the entire Mountain Range. With the soil congealed, hints of green burst forth. The Ancient Mountain and Earth merged, and Spiritual Veins began to spread across the land of the Small World.

Strands of Spirit Energy seeped out from the Mountain Range, spreading to the Earth and diffusing into the Sky Vault!

As Xiao Chen collected the treasure mountain and incorporated it into his Small World, the tense atmosphere in the Outer World froze once more.

"Gui Tianquan, do you think you can escape from the Human Realm?"

Zhuan Lun spoke through the Void, looking towards Guizi.

"At least you can’t stop me, can you?"

Although he said this, Guizi’s expression had become somewhat grave. Just before, he had attempted to connect with the Nine Nether Underworld Realm above the Sky Vault using the origin energy of the Ghost Tribe, only to receive rejection in return.

Furthermore, there was an unfamiliar sensation, as if the now fragmented Nine Nether Underworld was no longer the Nine Nether of old, clearly indicating that some mishap had occurred.

Being born from the Nine Nether, the Ghost Tribe naturally bore the marks of Nine Nether. Such markings would not change despite the endless passage of time, but now an unfamiliarity was felt, which was clearly abnormal.

"I’ve said it before; all I seek is Nine Nether. Why must you press me so relentlessly?"

Suddenly, pressing down the heaviness in his heart, Guizi spoke up, realizing that capturing Xiao Chen today was impossible. If he made the slightest move, he would be attacked by two great emperors simultaneously.

At this moment, he turned his gaze towards the Nine Nether Underworld Realm. If he could reestablish contact, then his descent into the Human Realm this time would not have been in vain.

Hum!

In the next moment, an immense Ghost Flame began to emanate from Gui Tianquan’s body.

Billowing darkness gathered above his head into a dense mass and spontaneously ignited, transforming into an inky flame, exuding an arcane quality, and seemed to share an origin with the Nine Nether Realm above the Sky Vault.

Wait!

Seeing Guizi make another move, the surrounding Kings all went on high alert, ready to act, yet they were stopped by Zhuan Lun.

"Everyone withdraw, as far as possible."

The next moment, Zhuan Lun commanded, directly transmitted into the Soul World of every Human King.

This order left many Human Kings stunned, but seeing the nod from both Zhuan Lun and King Long Deng, all retreated into the distance, leaving only the two of them, and of course, Xiao Chen, who was still immersed in his fate.

Suddenly, Zhuan Lun and King Long Deng exchanged a glance, both imperceptibly nodding in agreement.

Immediately afterward, King Long Deng produced a semi-transparent canopy from his embrace, tossing it towards Xiao Chen above.

The Four Directions Mountains and Rivers Canopy!

Following that, the canopy flashed with a boundless purple light. The Earth’s Mountains and Rivers materialized on the canopy, becoming somehow ethereal, and floated just above Xiao Chen’s head.

This was a Supreme defensive treasure, formed from the fortune of the Human Clan and one of the treasured defenses of the East Wasteland Divine Marquis Palace, capable of hiding within the illusory space behind the World Barrier, thus not hindering Xiao Chen’s communication with the Desolate Wilds in the slightest, while also ensuring his safety.

In this brief moment, the Ghost Flame kindled by the accumulated Ghost Qi from Gui Tianquan had shrunk to the size of a soybean but was countless times more terrifying than the great flame before.

Within the flame, the Nine Nether Long River materialized, with ancient dark races praying by its banks.

"With my lifeblood as the guide, the Nine Nether’s Ghost Tribe’s source as the fire, I summon the ancient Ghost Spirits. The younger blood descendants wish to bathe anew in the Nine Nether Divine River, to tread once more on the Netherworld Path."

Spurt!

In the next moment, Gui Tianquan spat out a mouthful of heart’s blood, merging it into the ghostly flame.

Boom!

Suddenly, the Ghost Flame fiercely expanded, drifting towards the Nine Nether Underworld Realm in the Sky Vault.

At this moment, Guizi sought to resonate with Nine Nether, like Xiao Chen before him. He strived to step into the ancient Desolate era’s Nine Nether World, in search of the lost truth!
