Ultimate Series, Past Lives Revealed

57: Black Dragon OperationDeep within the mysterious and eerie Martial Power Adjudication Department, there was a room so dimly lit that it was almost impossible to see anything.

Inside the room, rows of figures stood silently, dressed in uniform black attire that covered them strictly from head to toe, as if they had merged into the darkness.

Each person had their eyes tightly shut, motionless like sleeping statues, yet a spine-chilling Death Qi radiated continuously from their bodies.

This Death Qi permeated the air, filling the entire room with an oppressive and terrifying atmosphere.

Just then, without any warning, the door slowly opened, and the sound of light footsteps approached from a distance.

At the same time, the room that was previously as quiet as death instantly became restless. Those with closed eyes snapped them open in unison, as if receiving some sort of command.

There was not a trace of expression on their faces, which were as cold as thousand-year-old ice. Their eyes revealed an endless killing intent that made one shudder.

Even more bizarrely, their eyes flickered with a faint green light, like malevolent ghosts from Hell, ready to choose someone to devour.

”My Martial Corpses! Now is the time for you to show your power!”

As a low, echoed voice suddenly rang out in the room, a figure shrouded in green light appeared before everyone.

Looking closely, this person was none other than the notorious Hei Long!

The dark aura emanating from Hei Long was identical to that of the Martial Corpses, only even more intense.

In his bloodshot eyes burned the fires of mad desire, as if he wanted to swallow everything before him whole.

”Hmph, Wang Dadong, although I don’t dare to make a move on you easily for now, I never said my Martial Corpses wouldn’t! Once I refine you all into Martial Corpses one by one, absorb your demonic power, and achieve the Unity of Heaven and Demon, at that time, neither Blade Maniac nor Blade Ghost will be a match for me!” Hei Long said through gritted teeth, his tone full of resentment and unwillingness.

”This world will eventually belong to me. No one shall even think of stopping my path to becoming a demon. I will dominate the entire Gold Time Dimension!”

Hei Long laughed wildly, his arms spread wide as if embracing the coming victory.

After the laughter subsided, Hei Long’s gaze swept over the group of Martial Corpses, finally resting on two of them—Tian Hongguang and Rex.

Hei Long was clearly very satisfied with these two powerful Martial Corpses.

”Zun, go immediately and capture the teacher of Class One, Tian Xin, for me! There must be no mistakes!” Hei Long pointed at one of the Martial Corpses and gave the order.

The one called Zun remained with a face as still as water, listening to the command without a ripple of emotion.

Once the instructions were finished, his figure flickered and vanished instantly without a trace, like a ghost!

Hei Long then turned his gaze toward Rex, a sinister and cunning smile appearing on his face: ”Hehehe, Rex, oh Rex, I’ll send you to Class One. I’d like to see what kind of wonderful reaction those fellows will have when they see the once-familiar you in this state, neither human nor ghost. Especially that Wang Dadong—he’ll surely be absolutely furious! Hahaha...”

At Hei Long’s command, Rex, who had been standing there motionless like a puppet, suddenly trembled. Then, a weird red light surged in his eyes, and his entire aura underwent a sudden change.

He nodded expressionlessly, and then his figure blurred, disappearing from the spot as fast as a lightning bolt.

At this moment, Hei Long’s gaze fell upon a Martial Corpse whose strength was slightly inferior but who possessed a special ability.

This Martial Corpse was named ’Wu,’ and surprisingly, despite having become a Martial Corpse, he still retained a faint consciousness of his own.

The corners of Hei Long’s mouth curled up slightly as he gave Wu his instructions: ”Wu, your art of disguise is unparalleled. Your mission this time is to find a way to get close to Wang Dadong and seize the opportunity to deliver a fatal blow! Remember, there must not be the slightest mistake!”

Wu replied respectfully, ”Yes, Master. Please rest assured, your subordinate will certainly not fail his mission and will complete this task with Perfection!”

With that, he also turned and left, quickly disappearing from sight.

Finally, Hei Long glanced at the remaining Martial Corpses and spoke coldly: ”The rest of you, hide yourselves around Class One. Be ready at any time to assist Zun, Duo, and Wu in their actions. If you encounter any obstacles or resistors, kill them without mercy—leave no one alive!”

As he finished speaking, a series of faint sounds of breaking air rang out. These Martial Corpses almost simultaneously executed their movement techniques, and in an instant, they all vanished completely, as if they had never existed.

Hei Long snorted coldly: ”If it weren’t for this damned heavenly screen ruining this King’s meticulous layout, my original plan would have been flawless and impeccable! At that time, the sword in the stone in Arthur Wang’s hand and the sword in the stone I hold would have merged into one. When the two swords combined into one, they would surely sweep through the Gold Time Dimension, leaving no one able to resist!”

At this point, a flash of greed crossed Hei Long’s eyes: ”Arthur Wang became a Sword Slave because of the sword in the stone. If I had completely controlled him and absorbed all the power of both, I, Hei Long, would have surely achieved my goal and become a demon! What a pity...”

Hei Long let out a heavy sigh, his heart full of regret and indignation.

The sudden appearance of this heavenly screen had disrupted all his deployments, forcing him to act in haste and advance his plans prematurely.

However, although he knew that his current fall into the Demonic Path was thanks to Mad Dragon, Hei Long didn’t care.

On the contrary, he was intoxicated by the powerful sense of strength that came after entering the demonic state, as if the entire world was already under his feet.

After calming his mind slightly, the image of his niece, Qiu Qiu, surfaced in Hei Long’s brain.

The corners of his mouth turned up slightly, revealing a cunning smile: ”It’s also time to go and bring that girl back. After all, she is my, Hei Long’s, biological niece. It’s most appropriate for her to stay by my side. If I cultivate her well over time, she might become the second greatest Devil King in the Gold Time Dimension, second only to this King! Hehehe...” Thinking of the beautiful vision of the future, Hei Long couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
