Great Demon Sun Wukong-Chapter 773 - 687: Conspiracy Strikes_3

Indeed, after the trials in the Patrolling Celestial World, the Genesis Divine Nation had been demoted to a High-Level world, and logically, they should not have been eligible to enter the Fallen Tomb. In fact, the Genesis Divine Nation had not received the Heavenly Patrol Order given by the Law Enforcers. However, they still obtained the tokens to enter the Fallen Tomb, and not just five, but six tokens for six people. This does showcase the advantages of having strong allies. The reason why the Genesis Divine Nation could acquire six tokens was all due to the Crimson Army. Before the opening of the Fallen Tomb, the leader of the Crimson Army, Ziling, approached Xiao He, the Domain Lord of the Genesis Divine Nation, and handed over six tokens to him. This was something the Law Enforcers and Ling Weiyang Xi Zhao had not anticipated.

Nobody expected the Crimson Army to have the Heavenly Patrol Order. The material for the Heavenly Patrol Order was not from this universe, but was acquired by the Heavenly Patroller on a battlefield outside the universe, from another universe. It was only after refinement that it became the Heavenly Patrol Order of today. However, since the Fallen Tomb had opened many times before, the Crimson Army took notice. Therefore, during their last venture to the outer battlefield, they collected that special material and forged twenty tokens imitating the Heavenly Patrol Order. However, since they were imitations, only eleven of them were functional. Hence, Ziling gave six of those to Xiao He, the Domain Lord of the Genesis Divine Nation. The remaining five were just right for the five members of the Crimson Army themselves.

Because the Genesis Divine Nation was not included in the list for the Fallen Tomb, Xiao He was also unaware that this time there were only five slots. So, when the Fallen Tomb opened, every individual had a token, which meant six people in total. Therefore, the six individuals from the Genesis Divine Nation entered the Fallen Tomb. One must admit, that was quite lucky.

After everyone entered the Fallen Tomb, a strange event occurred in the Netherworld World. Not long after Yue Huangquan and the others departed, Tang Sanzang, Zhu Bajie, Sha Wujing, and White Dragon mysteriously vanished. No one knew when they disappeared, nor why; after searching the entire world, there was no trace of these four, as if they had simply evaporated out of thin air.

The Fallen Tomb, was still as dim and endless as when Sun Wukong first entered it, with neither sun nor moon. The place where the five individuals of the Netherworld World appeared was a coastline, beside which raged the tumultuous Endless Blood Sea. At the center of this Blood Sea was the small island that Sun Wukong and the little monkey had reached. In truth, that was no island, but an Island Turtle. As they looked upon the rolling Blood Sea and faced the pungent stench of vital energy, the faces of Yue Huangquan and his companions wrinkled in discomfort. However, Hei Kui’s eyes were shining bright; the bloody scent that others found unbearable was to him a greatly nourishing essence.

The reason Hei Kui became like this dates back to when Sun Wukong first entered the Fallen Tomb. Sun Wukong entered the Life and Death Blood Realm and into the Fallen Tomb only because Wu Ming traded his own life to open the entrance for him. And with Wu Ming’s demise, the Life and Death Blood Realm plunged into chaos. Without Wu Ming to control the Tongtian Sacred Tower, all the Blood Spirit creatures in the realm became uncontrollable. Since those within the Sacred Tower lacked the ability to control it, the Life and Death Blood Realm descended into unprecedented chaos, with all the Blood Spirit creatures starting to go mad and devour each other. This chaos in the Life and Death Blood Realm caused the Gatekeeper, Hei Kui, to be implicated as well, forcing him to infuse his own vital energy into the realm’s gate every day to prevent being devoured and killed by the Blood Realm’s rampaging vital energy. Therefore, he had to absorb a significant amount of vital energy from the outside world to maintain it. Now, with this endless Blood Sea at hand, Hei Kui could draw enough vital energy to seal off the gate to the Life and Death Blood Realm within him completely.

Although this would render him unable to control the gate to the Life and Death Blood Realm at will, his life would no longer be at risk, and his cultivation would experience a dramatic increase. Moreover, the vital energy was highly beneficial to him. However, Hei Kui had also preserved a countermeasure for himself and Sun Wukong by keeping the right to open the gate to the Life and Death Blood Realm one final time, to wait for Sun Wukong’s return and open the gate for him. Yue Huangquan and the others were well aware of Hei Kui’s situation, thus there was no need for him to explain further. Yue Huangquan just waved his hand, and without saying more, Hei Kui took a few running steps and leapt into the Blood Sea.

One could say that Wu Ming’s death and the destruction of the Ancient Primordial World dealt a significant blow to the strength of that high being, and it also left Sun Wukong and his companions with much conserved energy for their future confrontations with that high being. The Ancient Primordial World was the most important place where that high being used Soul Devouring Insects to create puppet soldiers. That’s precisely why, after Tang Sanzang lost his memory, he was so eager to go to the Ancient Primordial World—it was that high being’s plan to lure Tang Sanzang there. Unfortunately, this plan was inadvertently thwarted by Xi Zhao, which might be considered a fortuitous coincidence.

"With Hei Kui gone, it will be at least ten days to half a month before his return. Let’s start exploring the vicinity in the meantime. This final stage will undoubtedly be a tough battle. It’s still early now. Sword Hero, see if you can contact the others. We are currently only five, which is quite dangerous!" After entering the Fallen Tomb, everyone’s situation became extremely perilous—not only because of the dangers inherent to the Fallen Tomb itself but also due to the enemies they face. According to the Law Enforcers’ orders, apart from the Netherworld, each Divine Nation could only bring five people. Encountering enemies would absolutely lead to a fierce battle, and meeting enemies outnumbering them would be particularly dangerous. Those who entered the Fallen Tomb were undoubtedly the peak warriors of their respective Divine Nations, and at the very least, should be equal to Heavenly Venerates. In this final battleground within the Fallen Tomb, anyone below the level of Heavenly Venerate would have no chance but to be slaughtered.
