Chapter 1742
Xiao Chen, Die Yu, and the others were trapped in the Heaven Confusing Chaos Array. The outside world was mainly the Central Province, and it was not good either. It was in an abyss of suffering.
Countless skeleton powerhouses used the Demon Forest as a springboard to invade the Central Province’s human settlements. They cold-blooded and crazily slaughtered all lives, including humans, livestock, beasts, and demon beasts.
Human powerhouses had long been wiped out. Although the number of remaining martial artists was still very large, their strength was too low. They were not the opponents of the powerful skeleton army. They had no choice but to escape.
In more than a month, tens of thousands of cities in several prefectures had been destroyed by the skeleton army. Not even a complete corpse was left. All of them were dismembered.
The skeleton army was extremely ferocious. They were dead things. To be exact, they were puppets. They were controlled by the mastermind behind the scenes. They had no humanity. They would only resolutely carry out the orders of the mastermind behind the scenes and kill all lives.
Who was the mastermind behind the scenes?
With such extraordinary means, it must be a great emperor powerhouse. But why did an invincible great emperor powerhouse want to slaughter the living beings of the Central Province?
Was it just for the pleasure of killing?
Willful and reckless?
Or was there some special reason?
Countless people in the Central Province were panicking. Countless people were roaring and cursing the heavens for being cold-blooded and heartless. Why did they send such a terrifying skeleton army to slaughter the living beings of the world?
Did the heavens want to destroy all lives to purify the world?
At first, no one knew how the skeleton army was formed. Later, there were individual powerhouses who were lucky enough to escape from the Land of Darkness. They thought that the skeleton army was a result of the sea of bones in the Land of Darkness being infected by the mysterious black gas.
The whole world was shocked!
The Land of Darkness was an ominous place. Not to mention that it attracted so many powerhouses to die, now it had transformed into such a terrifying sea of skeletons to slaughter the living beings of the Central Province. Was this the rhythm of the end of the world?
Almost all the people of the Central Province were panicking, especially the common people. They were not martial artists. They couldn’t escape far. They could only wait for death. But there were still many people who left their homes with their wives and children to stay away from the Land of Darkness, just to live a little longer.
Complaints were everywhere!
The entire Central Continent was filled with anger and resentment. The few people who usually prayed to the Heavens could no longer defeat the Heavens. They all cursed the Heavens.
Some wealthy and powerful clans began to migrate to the small continents outside of the Central Prefecture. With the help of the boundless Deity Sea, they were able to block the Skeleton Army’s massacre. They felt that the Skeleton Army would not fly across the Deity Sea to the small continents.
However, nothing was absolute. Perhaps, after the Skeleton Army had destroyed all the lives in the Central Prefecture, they would target the countless domains and continents. This wasn’t impossible. After all, the Skeleton Army was too powerful.
The world was a vast place, but there was no place left for living beings. If there was no emperor from the Central Imperial Universe, then in a few years, the once prosperous Central Plains would become a dead zone.
That would be an incomparably sad thing.
There were tens of billions of people in the Central Plains. If all of them were slaughtered by the Skeleton Army, then there would be tens of billions more wandering souls in the world. By then, the Emperor Star could become a dead planet.
Faced with the crisis of the Emperor Star being wiped out, not even a dozen Quasi-emperors could help. Several Quasi-emperors had already passed away in the Land of Darkness. When faced with a mastermind of the Emperor Star, Quasi-emperors were of no help at all.
Facing the mastermind of the Emperor Star, who else could fight against the Emperor Star?
But were there any Emperor Star warriors in the Central Imperial Universe?
It was hard to say.
The killing was still going on. Almost at every moment, countless people were killed by the Skeleton Army. The speed of the massacre was appalling. The main reason was that humans were too weak to defend themselves.
Sweeping away all obstacles!
Unstoppable!
The Skeleton Army marched in unison. They didn’t fight alone. Every time they attacked a city, there would be at least hundreds of thousands of skeleton powerhouses gathered together. With absolute military strength, they were like a wave of bones that could easily submerge a city.
…
Time flew by. Soon, three months had passed. The Skeleton Army had almost destroyed one-tenth of the cities and lives at the Central Plains. This was an appalling speed. It was enough to prove that the Skeleton Army had sufficient strength and they could use the entire Central Plains as a battlefield.
At this rate, it would take the Skeleton Army three years to wipe out the entire Central Plains. The destructive power of a Skeleton Army of billions or more was not just for show. It was real.
In the ancient city at the Land of Darkness, Xiao Chen and the others were still trapped in the small world in the formation of illusion in the central palace.
The Fengsha Sword and the Cyan Shadow Sword had not figured out a way to crack the dark energy barrier. They didn’t dare to act rashly, for fear that they might disturb Xiao Chen and Die Yu. Xiao Chen was stabilizing. He seemed to be in pain, but he persisted.
Persistence was victory. Persistence could bring Xiao Chen great benefits. At the moment, Xiao Chen’s soul had been strengthened by the Ghost Noise. The benefits of a strong soul were inestimable.
A Great Emperor expert could kill people with just a thought. This was one of the abilities of a strong soul.
Another great benefit of a strong soul was that a cultivator with a strong soul would have an easier time cultivating and comprehending the Dao. In the future, Xiao Chen’s chances of becoming a Great Emperor would be greatly increased.
While resisting the Ghost Noise, Xiao Chen’s body was cultivating rapidly. He had successfully stepped into the Fourth Heavenly God Realm. His cultivation speed was unprecedented.
As for Die Yu, Die Yu stood still in front of the ancient tomb for three months. Even her weak breathing had disappeared. Even her slightly opened eyes didn’t move. It gave people a strange feeling that she had died standing.
However, the Fengsha Sword and the Green Shadow Sword had strong senses. They could sense that Die Yu was still alive. Therefore, they didn’t disturb Die Yu. They just did what they were supposed to do, which was to protect Xiao Chen and Die Yu.
Xiao Chen and Die Yu were in a state of cultivation. They couldn’t defend against other attacks from the outside world. If there was a sudden danger, the Fengsha Sword and the Green Shadow Sword could handle it.
The Heaven Confusing Chaos Formation was worthy of being called an ancient formation. It was definitely a formation above the God Grade. In addition, the person who set up the formation might have reached the Great Emperor Realm. Therefore, the formation’s power was maximized.
Who was the person who set up such a formation?
Looking at Die Yu’s appearance, it seemed to be related to Die Yu. Could it be that it was set up by Die Yu’s previous life’s Empress, the God of the Underworld?
The Fengsha Sword and the Green Shadow Sword guessed that the Heaven Confusing Chaos Formation was set up by the Empress, the God of the Underworld. If this guess was correct, then there were two possible developments.
Regardless of whether Die Yu could awaken her previous life’s memories and become a Great Emperor, there were two possible developments.
One was that Die Yu would continue to follow Xiao Chen. She would treat Xiao Chen as the only person she could trust and would never leave him.
The other was that Die Yu would disdain to follow Xiao Chen. She would treat Xiao Chen as a stranger. From then on, they would go their separate ways and not have any interaction.
The Fengsha Sword and the Green Shadow Sword were old monsters that had lived for thousands of years. They were very shrewd and wouldn’t be stupid enough to talk about such a sensitive topic.
The future development of Xiao Chen and Die Yu would depend on their own thoughts and choices. It was best for outsiders not to interfere. Otherwise, it would easily backfire.
Xiao Chen had already expected the catastrophe of the Central Prefecture, but he was unable to help. At this time, he was trapped in the Immemorial Formation and almost couldn’t protect himself. How could he have the ability to be the hero of the world and save the people of the world?
Xiao Chen wasn’t the emperor of the world. He didn’t have the responsibility to care about the life and death of the people of the world. However, if he could get out in the future, he naturally wouldn’t sit back and do nothing. He would definitely find a way to deal with the skeleton army.
Xiao Chen was also a human. As long as he was a human, he would definitely have his own selfish motives. He wouldn’t be so great as to ignore his family, friends, and himself for the sake of the people of the world. After all, he wouldn’t let the people of the world down. On the contrary, it was basically the people of the world that let him down.
In fact, with Xiao Chen’s current strength, it was impossible to eliminate the endless skeleton army unless he became a Great Emperor. However, it was impossible to achieve in a short period of time. At least, it would take a few years.
The Central Prefecture was about to perish.
Now, they could only hope that a Great Emperor would appear to save the people of the Central Prefecture. Perhaps it was because the Great Emperor had sensed the suffering of the people of the Central Prefecture. A Great Emperor who had hidden for tens of thousands of years actually appeared. The place where the Great Emperor appeared was in the north and south of the Central Prefecture.
