We Will Surely Raze Dark Moon City

Outside the ancient, massive black stone gate, the eerie winds of the Heavenly Nether Abyss were deathly silent.

The gazes of the Greater Ghost Lords and the White-Robed Ghost Immortal fell upon each person who walked out of the door, as if they were tangible objects.

Holding a command flag, Blood Butcher, along with two surviving Rakshasa City Cultivators, immediately retreated to his own blood-red warship, their expressions wary.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Changqing stepped out of the spatial vortex.

He was still wearing his white robe, his breathing steady, as if he had simply gone out for a walk.

Behind him, the First Ghost General and another Dark Moon City Cultivator, though disheveled, ultimately managed to emerge alive.

Upon seeing this, a hint of barely suppressed joy finally appeared on the Dark Moon Ghost Lord's usually cold face.

Of the three slots, not only did someone from her Dark Moon City emerge alive, but Chen Changqing alone secured two of the command flags.

This is almost the best possible outcome.

However, on the other two warships, the atmosphere instantly plummeted to freezing point.

The Bone Demon Heavenly Monarch and the Thousand Poisons Old Monster's gazes swept back and forth across the Blackstone Ancient Gate.

Time passed by, one breath at a time.

Until the enormous spatial vortex slowly shrank and finally closed completely, not a single figure emerged from it.

Completely annihilated.

Whether it was Gu Li, the young master of White Bone Territory, or Poison Boy of Myriad Poison Ridge, along with the four Half-Step Heavenly Monarch they brought in, all perished within the Lightless Forbidden Land.

"Li'er!"

The Bone Demon Heavenly Monarch let out a roar that shook the heavens and earth.

The vast Heavenly Monarch Laws erupted with a roar, transforming into a gigantic white skeletal claw that blotted out the sky, traversing tens of thousands of feet of void, and fiercely grabbing at Chen Changqing!

His son's life-giving spirit lamp just went out completely.

Of those who survived, the Human Race Cultivator from the outside world is the most suspicious.

"You brat, give me back my child's life!"

The Thousand Poisons Old Monster was also in a frenzy. The Coiled Snake Cane in his hand shot into the sky and transformed into a purple venomous python that stretched to the heavens and the earth. It opened its blood-red maw and, together with the giant white bone claws on the left and right, blocked all of Chen Changqing's escape routes.

The two Peak Heavenly Monarch Stage unleashed their fury, their power enough to instantly crush ordinary stars.

The Dark Moon Ghost Lord's expression changed drastically, and he was about to intervene.

An even more vast and deathly oppressive force descended from the sky.

"Presumptuous."

The White-Robed Ghost Immortal simply uttered two words.

He raised his withered, pale hand and gently stroked it towards the void.

There was no earth-shattering clash of Principle, nor any dazzling display of Divine Ability power.

The giant white bone claw, powerful enough to tear the earth apart, and the venomous python capable of poisoning Heavenly Monarch, vanished into nothingness the moment they touched the space his palm swept across, like an ink painting erased by an invisible eraser.

Bone Demon Heavenly Monarch and Thousand Poisons Old Monster both groaned at the same time, their bodies trembling violently as they were forced back onto their respective warships by an irresistible force.

Their eyes were filled with shock and resentment.

This is the power of Ghost Immortal.

With a casual flick of the wrist, he could neutralize the full-force attack of two Peak Heavenly Monarch Stage.

The White-Robed Ghost Immortal's indifferent gaze swept over the two of them.

"The rules of the competition are that anyone who enters will be subject to life or death."

"To attack in front of me, are you trying to challenge the edict of the Yama Heavenly Palace?"

Bone Demon Heavenly Monarch clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles cracked, but he dared not utter another word.

The Thousand Poisons Old Monster lowered his head, concealing the intensely venomous killing intent deep within his eyes.

The White-Robed Ghost Immortal ignored them and turned his gaze to Chen Changqing and Blood Butcher.

"Chen Changqing of Dark Moon City, wielding two Netherworld Command Banner."

"Rakshasa City, Blood Butcher, wielding a Netherworld Command Banner."

"The first round of the competition has ended, and three players have advanced."

"Three days later, Welcoming Envoy from the Central Domain will come to guide you to the Ancestral Land Ancient Arena for the final battle."

After speaking, the figure of the White-Robed Ghost Immortal began to slowly fade, as if it were about to merge into this world.

"Your Excellency, the Envoy!"

Bone Demon Heavenly Monarch suddenly looked up and asked in a hoarse voice, "My son Gu Li and Poison Boy both died in the Lightless Forbidden Land. As lords, do we not even have the right to avenge them?"

The White-Robed Ghost Immortal's figure, about to dissipate, paused slightly.

His hollow voice resounded in everyone's Sea of Consciousness.

"During the competition, revenge is strictly prohibited."

"Once the competition concludes, the Yama Heavenly Palace will not interfere in your disputes."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Ghost Immortal's figure vanished completely.

The terrifying pressure between heaven and earth dissipated.

"Walk!"

Without the slightest hesitation, the Dark Moon Ghost Lord waved his sleeve, and a purple divine light swept up Chen Changqing and the three First Ghost Generals, instantly returning them to the Netherworld Warship.

With a roar, the warship turned around and transformed into a streak of light, about to tear through the void and depart.

"Dark Moon!"

The roar of the Bone Demon Heavenly Monarch came from behind, and the killing intent contained in that voice almost froze the dark clouds in the Heavenly Nether Abyss.

"The White Bone Territory will remember this humiliation!"

"And so do I, the Myriad Poison Ridge!" The Thousand Poisons Old Monster's voice was shrill and piercing. "Wash your necks and wait, I will make sure that not a blade of grass grows in your entire Dark Moon City!"

The Dark Moon Ghost Lord stood at the bow of the ship, not even turning his head, but merely snorted coldly, urging the warship to disappear into the horizon at an even faster speed.

Above the vast Heavenly Nether Abyss, only the warships of the White Bone, Ten Thousand Poisons, and Rakshasa remained.

The Rakshasa Ghost King glanced at the two men with ashen faces and cupped his hands in a respectful gesture.

"Gentlemen, now that the first round of the competition is over, I shall take my leave."

Having said that, he prepared to steer the warship away from this troublesome place.

"Rakshasa Ghost King, please wait."

Bone Demon Heavenly Monarch suddenly spoke, calling out to him.

The Rakshasa Ghost King frowned slightly and stopped what he was doing.

"Bone Demon Heavenly Monarch, is there anything else?"

The ghostly green flames in Bone Demon Heavenly Monarch's eyes flickered violently. He glanced at Thousand Poisons Old Monster, then said in a deep voice to Rakshasa Ghost King:

"Brother Rakshasa, we both saw it. The Dark Moon City has somehow acquired a monster; it's ruthless and possesses incredible combat power."

"If he can kill my son and the Poison Boy today, he can threaten you and me tomorrow."

"Instead of waiting for Dark Moon City to dominate, why don't the three of us join forces, strike first, and completely eliminate this major threat?"

"At that time, everything in Dark Moon City, including that Taiyin Ore Vein spanning millions of miles, will be divided equally among the three of us, how about it?"

The voice of the Bone Demon Heavenly Monarch echoed in the deathly silent Heavenly Nether Abyss.

Divide Dark Moon City in half.

This is undoubtedly a very tempting offer.

The power structure of the Thirteen Outer Domains has remained largely unchanged for thousands of years. Each ghost lord desires to expand their territory, yet they are also wary of one another.

Now, a perfect excuse and opportunity have presented themselves.

The Thousand Poisons Old Monster, leaning on his Coiled Snake Cane, echoed in a hoarse voice, "Brother Rakshasa, Brother Bone Demon is absolutely right."

"The Dark Moon City has a deep foundation, and its defensive formation is extremely sturdy. If it were just my two families and Brother Bone Demon's family, we might not be able to take it down in one fell swoop."

"But with the help of your Asura Battle Formation, Brother Rakshasa, we can launch a coordinated attack from within and without, and within a few days, we will surely be able to raze Dark Moon City to the ground!"

"As for that Human Race brat named Chen Changqing... no matter how strong he is, he's still just a True Lord. My brother Bone Demon and I will personally take action to surround and kill him, preventing him from having any chance to interfere."

The two Peak Heavenly Monarch Stage Lords, working in unison, attempted to drag the Rakshasa Ghost King into their quest for revenge.
