Great Demon Sun Wukong-Chapter 769 - 686: Entering the Fallen Tomb

Ke Mo also noticed that the person was not paying attention to him and couldn’t help but give an awkward smile as he said, "Brother, you should really change your personality, always brooding over there. How can that be good? Come on, let’s drink three big bowls together!" After speaking, he walked over and wrapped his arm around the man’s shoulder, clinking his own cup against the man’s, causing the liquor to spill over. He then gulped down the drink in one go. The man still did not speak nor show any anger, simply finishing the drink in his cup, before speaking in a very deep voice, "I am now known as Demon Spirit Butcher, Mo Zixuan has already died."

Ke Mo, however, did not pay attention to him and instead shook his shoulder vigorously, saying, "I don’t care about all that, whether you’re Mo Zixuan or Demon Spirit Butcher, you’re still my brother." Having said that, Ke Mo returned to his own seat, poured himself another bowl of wine, and addressed Xi Zhao, "Brother Xi Zhao, my friend here is a bit odd. Don’t mind him, okay? We’ve nearly finished our drinks; isn’t it time to talk about tomorrow’s business?" Xi Zhao waved his hand and said, "The reputation of the Myriad Demons Country’s Yin-Yang Kirin is well-known to me, not that trivial. But Brother Ke Mo is right, we should indeed discuss the matter of entering the Fallen Tomb. Although everyone here is a hero who fears not death, no one wants to throw their life away for nothing."

After speaking, Xi Zhao signaled for the musicians to stop, and the dancers retreated one by one. Xi Zhao then paused and said, "This time entering the Fallen Tomb, everything will come to an end, so without a doubt, both big and small fish will all come to the surface. And us, we need to be fishermen this time, and cast our net to catch them all, big and small fish alike. As for the fish, there are those who eat meat and those who eat plants; we don’t worry about the herbivores, they can’t bite us. As for the carnivorous fish, they are our main target this time!" After speaking, Xi Zhao poured himself another cup of wine and continued, "There are two carnivorous fish, and they’ve both hidden very deeply. I believe that even Ling Weiyang has no idea, and even I only found out after recently receiving the complete heritage. One of the fish has already interfered with many of our plans and has been confirmed to be our enemy. The other fish should also be our major enemy and arguably everyone’s, but so far, I have not detected their involvement in any actions!"

At this moment, Ke Mo suddenly interjected, "Brother Xi Zhao, stop speaking in riddles and just say it outright. I don’t like guessing riddles!" Xi Zhao burst into hearty laughter and said, "Haha, alright, it seems Brother Ke Mo is also a straightforward person. I’ll put it simply then. If I’m not mistaken, ten powers will be entering the Fallen Tomb this time, including the Six Great Divine Nations, the Crimson Army, and the Law Enforcers. There should also be two more forces that haven’t appeared before. We will undoubtedly ally with Ling Weiyang’s Myriad Demons Country, and also side with the Law Enforcers, which means our enemies will be the Divine Nations Alliance, which includes the Netherworld World, the Crimson Army, and those two hidden powers. The Divine Nations Alliance, as I previously mentioned, are the herbivorous fish, not to be feared. The Pioneer will take care of the Crimson Army, and our target will be those two hidden forces."

"However, I do not wish for us to confront those two forces directly. If it comes to a head-to-head fight, two against one, we will surely not get the better of it. What we need to do is to find every possible way to make people from those two forces conflict with each other, to have them fight amongst themselves while we reap the benefits. That is our strategy for survival. As for how to spark conflict between those two forces, I already have a basic plan, which I will share with you all shortly. Whether the plan succeeds or not will depend on everyone’s acting skills. But now, I have something very important to tell you. This matter was not even discussed with Ling Weiyang; I discovered it just yesterday while sorting through the memories from my heritage."

After finishing, he waved his hands to dismiss everyone in the hall, then quickly formed magical hand seals, setting up three layers of isolation barriers, before he seriously said, "You all know that my heritage comes from the Underworld Venerate. And this heritage was prepared by the Underworld Venerate before that great war in Ancient Times. It can be said to be the escape route left for himself as it seemed that he knew he would lose in that battle, so he left parts of his soul, most of his memories, and many of his possessions in the Heritage Site. After I received the full heritage, my strength surged to the peak of Heavenly Venerate. However, what I want to talk about is not that, but the truth behind the Ancient War. The memories I received show that Ancient War was not that simple and was in fact a conspiracy, a universal super-war stirred up by the revenge of one individual, which implicated the entire universe. Both the Underworld Venerate and Pioneer perished due to this one person’s sinister plot."

"This individual who instigated Ancient War with their machinations is the leader of the forces hidden in the shadows. He is the root cause of everything, our greatest enemy. I can also tell you with certainty that this person is from an outside universe, not from ours. However, that is all I know; there are no more details about this person in the heritage. Nonetheless, I suspect there are still great secrets to uncover." No sooner had Xi Zhao finished speaking than a person seated at the front left spoke out, "Humph, I have waited for this day for far too long. If we can capture this individual and force out the truth of past events, we will prove the innocence of the Underworld God Army and the Underworld Venerate."

The speaker was named Ming Tong, the mightiest among the current Underworld God Army, the top brave general under the Underworld Venerate’s command, and the true Legion Commander of the Underworld God Army. Qian Yuye, who was previously known, was not the real Legion Commander. The Underworld God Army was defeated in the Ancient War, and Ming Tong was ready to die to demonstrate his resolve. However, he then realized if he died just like that, the Underworld Venerate and the Underworld God Army would forever be vilified by history and remembered as invaders from an external universe. This humiliation was something he could not accept. Therefore, at the last moment, Ming Tong led some of the Underworld God Army to escape. After persevering and growing secretly, they eventually reached today’s scale. Upon hearing that someone had received the Underworld Venerate’s heritage, Ming Tong knew the time had finally come. He decisively led the Underworld God Army to ally with Xi Zhao. And now, he felt the moment to wash away the disgrace had finally arrived!

"Ming Tong is right," someone said, "the Pioneer concocted evidence to frame the Underworld Venerate and ultimately defeated the Underworld God Army through such dishonorable means, bringing such humiliation upon them. Now, the time for revenge has come. We will settle our grudges and right our wrongs."

While the Netherworld World’s Myriad Demons Country was making its final preparations, the other Great Divine Nations, the Crimson Army, the Law Enforcers, and those two obscured powers were doing the same. This night was destined to be sleepless. And for many, this night was also their last. In the Six Great Divine Nations, each nation was allowed to send only five people, totaling thirty. However, this was the number set by the Law Enforcers, not by the master of the Fallen Tomb. This meant that even before entering the Fallen Tomb, the Divine Nations were already being manipulated. In this whole affair, hearts had become so wicked. Every step had to be taken carefully, like treading on thin ice, lest it led to irredeemable doom.

The next morning, which was an ordinary one for most, was an incredibly important moment for those thirty individuals. From the Netherworld World, Domain Lord Yue Huangquan, Guardian Star Sinker, Sword Venerable Rogue Heart Sword Hero, Blood Prison Sky-Shaking Roar Hei Kui, and Immortal Fire Phoenix Flame God—all five dressed in the same black Battle Armor with a black cape on their backs—looked imposing. They placed their palms together, then five beams of light rose from each person, converging into one. Soon afterward, space above their heads cracked open, and in a flash, they were gone. By the time the onlookers could see again, the five individuals had already vanished into the crack. The five from the Netherworld World entered the Fallen Tomb.

From the Myriad Demons Country, Domain Lord Ling Weiyang, Emperor Luo Chen of the Chaotic Giants Qian Shang, Dragon King Long Tian, and Demon God Fen Yan formed a circle, their lights merging just the same. In the blink of an eye, all five had vanished from sight. The five from the Myriad Demons Country entered the Fallen Tomb.

From the Genesis Divine Nation, Domain Lord Xiao He, Guardian Ruo Xi, Light Law God Meng Lan, Agent of Chaos Jue Luan, Pioneer Pangu, and the Clan Leader of the Chaotic Giant Clan Chaos Spiritless stood in a row. Five beams of light shone and merged into a beam of light that tore a portal open in the sky, and the five disappeared. The Genesis Divine Nation’s five entered the Fallen Tomb.

From the Myriad Gods Hall, Domain Lord Bu Rechen, Guardian Proud Cloud Longbow, Sword God Po Jun, Divine Oracle Zhibei, and a man carrying a massive Totem God Pillar—a new face and a hermit superpower from the Myriad Gods Hall, Totem God Wangchuan—arranged themselves around the Totem God Pillar. Five beams of light arose from them, coalescing into an even larger column of light, then the five, along with the column, disappeared. The five from Myriad Gods Hall entered the Fallen Tomb.

From the Fangcun Spirit Realm, Domain Lord Mu Dongsheng, Guardian Lu’an, Through-back Ape with the fate to die, Fangcun’s momentary Ling Yi, and Invincible Overlord Art. Notably, the guardian Lu’an and Invincible Overlord Art were both stunning beauties and biological sisters; while born of the same mother, their personalities were poles apart. Barrier Lu’an was gentle, virtuous, and generous, known as the Princess of the Myriad Gods. But her sister, Overlord, despite her femininity, was known for a forceful and overpowering character, her Divine Power unparalleled in the Myriad Gods Hall. Sending these two signaled Bu Rechen’s determination to risk it all. After their palms touched and the light faded, all five also disappeared. The five from the Fangcun Spirit Realm entered the Fallen Tomb.

In the Canglan Water Realm, Domain Lord Hong Che, Guardian Dragon Ancestor, Divine Oracle Yi Xuan, Sword Draconic King Yu Bo, and Law Draconic King Wen Yu—among them, Dragon Ancestor, Yu Bo, and Wen Yu were fresh faces. Among these, Yu Bo and Wen Yu were the Dragon Kings of the two major clans of the Canglan Water Realm, both at the Heavenly Venerate Primary Stage, while Guardian Dragon Ancestor was the shared ancestor of the Law and Sword Dragons of the Canglan River Realm, having slumbered for a million years until Domain Lord Hong Che awakened him to enter the Fallen Tomb. Dragon Ancestor was at the Heavenly Venerate’s Peak, a true forefather. As their palms touched and the light rose to fade slowly away, the five from the Canglan Water Realm entered the Fallen Tomb!
