Divine Imperial Universe!
This universe was vast, far larger than the other eight. It was twice as large as the Mage Imperial Universe that ranked second.
The Xuan Qi of Heaven and Earth here was the densest, and there were many blessed lands here. It was the best of all the nearby realms.
The other universes were divided among several families, but the Divine Imperial Universe had always been dominated by one family.
That was the Yan Clan, the number one clan in the Nine Realms.
The Yan Family had existed for four hundred thousand years. In these four hundred thousand years, the rulers of the other realms were constantly changing. Many families rose, some fell, and some perished.
That being said, the Yan Family had been dominating the Divine Imperial Universe, the most powerful family in the nine universes.
Everything was because of one person, the Ancestor of the Yan Family, Yan Tiangang!
Over the course of history, there were people who coveted the Divine Imperial Universe. After all, it was the best universe with the best lands and the most resources.
Once upon a time, the Central Imperial Universe, the Earth Imperial Universe and the Mage Imperial Universe all had Immortal Realm warriors. Those Immortal Realm warriors all went to the Spirit Sea Realm before they ascended. They wanted to take over the Divine Imperial Universe for their families so that their descendants could live in glory for generations to come.
However, when the three immortal warriors went to the Divine Imperial Universe, they all came back quietly. None of them could wipe out the Yan Family because … they could not breach the Divine Imperial City!
In the middle of the Divine Imperial Universe was a huge city floating in the air. That city was the center of the Divine Imperial Universe, the place where Yan Family disciples lived.
This city symbolized glory and power, as well as an unbreakable and absolute defense.
This was because this city was actually a divine artifact, and a very powerful divine artifact at that.
Yan Tiangang had spent tens of thousands of years in the Divinity Realm. He had paid a huge price, even becoming a slave for tens of thousands of years, in exchange for this treasure.
After the divine artifact was returned, the Yan Family became the number one family in the Nine Realms. Since then, they had been glorious for four hundred thousand years. Until now, no one dared to kill the Yan Family's disciples in the Prison of Gold.
Bang!
At this moment, from the Purple Cloud Palace, the largest palace in the Divine Imperial City, came a muffled sound along with an angry snort.
The voice was not loud. It could only be heard within a few miles of the Purple Cloud Palace. But soon, the entire Divine Imperial City learned about it.
After some hedonistic young masters got the news, they immediately became well-behaved.
Within the Purple Cloud Palace resided the leader of the Yan Family. Right now, he was enraged. Anyone who dared to provoke him would be in deep trouble.
Everyone in the Purple Cloud Palace knelt down. They were the upper echelons of the Yan Clan, as well as the clan leaders of some affiliated clans.
The Yan Clan Head was enraged, and everyone was panicking. This Clan Head had been in power for hundreds of years, and he had only lost his temper three times. Each time, many people had died.
The Yan Clan King, Yan Zhen, didn't look old at all. He looked like a middle-aged man, wearing a purple gold robe. He had a majestic aura, and his eyes were so cold that no one dared to look him in the eye.
He sat high up on the ice throne, like an emperor that ruled over all the worlds.
Yan Zhen glanced at the group of cultivators below and tried to suppress his anger. He said, "Yan Yan is dead, Yan Se is dead, Fang Rui is dead, and now Yan Gu is dead!
Who can tell me what happened? "
There was absolute silence below. Who dared to come out and answer at this moment?
What if his answer wasn't good and he was killed by Yan Zhen?
Most importantly … no one knew what was going on!
"A small Heaven Reverse Universe!"
Yan Zhen was confused. He murmured to himself, "That is a very small universe. Given the Xuan Qi in heaven and earth, Mystical Materials and Spiritual Pulse, there can hardly be one or two Semi-God Realm warriors in tens of thousands of years.
This time, Yan Gu brought one hundred Semi-God Realm warriors with him, but all of our Semi-God Realm warriors died.
Is that universe connected to the Region of Demons and the Region of Ghosts? "
Still, no one dared to answer. Yan Zhen was even angrier. He picked one person and asked, "Yan Peng, you are in charge of intelligence. Don't you have anything to tell me?"
A white-bearded old man stood up. He bowed to Yan Zhen and answered, "After Yan Yan died, I sent people to the Heaven Reverse Universe to investigate. I sent two groups. One group went down from the Purgatory of Primordial Chaos. Maybe it's too short of time … there is no news yet.
Family Leader, the news from the Wu Family and the Li Family has been confirmed. Qi Donghai, Wu Guangde, Li Laosi, He Family Leader, and the two old freaks from the Prison of Gold are indeed dead. So far, the number of dead Semi-God Realm warriors has almost been calculated. Nearly one hundred and ten Semi-God Realm warriors have died, at least seventy of them! "
"Hiss, hiss ~"
People were gasping in the hall. Qi Donghai, Wu Guangde, Li Family Patriarch, Yan Gu, and warriors at the peak of the Semi-God Realm from the Purgatory of Primordial Chaos died in battle.
That was to say … only three of the 10 warriors at the peak of the Semi-God Realm survived!
There were other Semi-God Realm warriors as well. Conservatively speaking, more than 70 of the 100 had died. Everyone was wondering if the Heaven Reverse Universe was the small universe they had heard about, but the Region of Demons and the Region of Ghosts.
It was not humans living there, but creatures and demons from the underworld.
After all, there were so many Semi-God Realm warriors, including 10 at the peak of the Semi-God Realm. This was enough to wipe out the Earth Imperial Universe and the Mage Imperial Universe.
"Is it because of the supreme Relic?
Has Lu Li taken control of that supreme Relic and used it to kill Yan Gu and the others? "
Yan Zhen had an idea. Otherwise, there was no other explanation for such a strange situation.
It was rare for Semi-God Realm warriors to emerge from small universes. This was a fact that had been acknowledged for a million years. When Lu Li got the Wicked Bead at the Central Imperial Universe, he was only at the Noble Lord Realm. It had only been a few years since then. To reach the Earth Immortal Realm should be impressive.
"Well …"
Yan Zhen thought for a moment and suddenly walked toward the corridor on the side without saying a word.
A person walked through the corridor and into a palace at the back, entering a small hall within the palace.
There was nothing in the small hall except for a statue. It was a statue of an old man. His eyes were filled with wisdom and his face was well-defined. One look and one could tell that he was an ambitious man who dominated a world.
This was the statue of Yan Tiangang. Below the small hall was an altar.
Needless to say, one could contact Yan Tiangang here and ask him to come here as an avatar.
Yan Zhen knelt on the ground and poured out some Xuan Energy. After a moment, the statue trembled and gave out a faint white glare. A surge of divine might spread out. Yan Zhen bowed at once and said with respect, "Greetings, forefather."
"What's the matter?" A cold voice rang out. It was an old voice, but it was deep and powerful.
"Yan Zhen is useless. I don't think I can get the Wicked Bead back for you anytime soon."
Yan Zhen reported honestly. He told the forefather about the deaths of Yan Se, Yan Yan, Yan Gu, and Wu Guangde. Then, he asked with caution, "Forefather, is it possible that Lu Li has taken control of the Wicked Bead and used it to kill Yan Gu and the others?"
"Impossible!"
Yan Tiangang was not affected by the news. He said with certainty, "I don't even know the specific background of the Wicked Bead. I only heard about it by chance. The Wicked Bead might be a supreme Relic.
If it is a supreme Relic, not even an average immortal can take control of it. If it is not a supreme Relic, how can Lu Li use the Wicked Bead to kill Yan Gu?
I remember the Bead of Wood is in Yan Gu's hands. "
"That is strange …"
