Checking in for 100,000 Years

Chapter 802: Chapter 802: Joining the Ling Xiao Army

The Divine Monarch Realm was a massive mental shock for Li Qikong.

He had visited the Divine Land several times and had, by chance, encountered supreme experts of the Divine Monarch Realm.

Li Qikong was well aware of the terrifying nature of such experts.

Even without a physical body, the soul of this black-armored man was extremely complete, so his combat power shouldn’t be as lacking as the Five Emperors.

However, he was only at the True God Realm Third Level, and with such a cultivation base, it was difficult to contend with this black-armored man.

Li Qikong’s expression changed abruptly.

A cold sweat silently appeared on his forehead.

A huge question emerged.

Where exactly did this spirit come from?

Could it be that it had always been hidden deep within the Gui Gou Abyss?

Li Qikong had also explored the Gui Gou Abyss, one of the Seven Forbidden Lands, before. However, this abyss was dangerous and mysterious, unfathomable in its depth. As the depth increased, the ghost qi that eroded divine sense and flesh became more intense, and there were many strange creatures. Even a strong individual like him could not fully explore the entirety of the Gui Gou Abyss.

”Who is this person?”

The Qingyue Demon Emperor was startled and retreated several feet in the void.

The other four emperor-level experts also looked in shock at the suddenly appearing black-armored man.

They were astonished to discover that the soul of the black-armored man was very complete, condensed, solid, emitting strands of golden divine light like thin threads.

”Unbelievable, how could there be such a divine spirit’s soul in the Gui Gou Abyss?”

Emperor Heimang muttered to himself, looking lost in thought.

”To think... there is actually such a complete divine spirit’s soul hidden deep in the Gui Gou Abyss!”

Demon Emperor Xieshen frowned.

”So powerful!” Demon Emperor Kuzhu and the Red Cloud Emperor, among others, looked gravely at the black-armored man, terror in their eyes.

This divine spirit’s soul was too strong.

So strong that they couldn’t muster any thought of resistance.

”Hahaha...”

Listening to Emperor Heimang and Demon Emperor Xieshen’s words, the black-armored man couldn’t help but let out a long howl, then looked up and laughed heartily.

He laughed so vehemently, his body trembled violently, as if tears were about to flow from his eyes.

The black-armored man, still laughing wildly, pointed at the Five Emperors and shouted, ”You ants from the Dragon Hidden Continent have lived under our noses for nearly a million years, and yet you don’t know of our existence. It’s truly hilarious!”

After saying this, the black-armored man continued to laugh uncontrollably.

Li Qikong’s expression was grim, his fists clenched tightly, continuously emitting a series of ”crackling” bone cracking sounds.

The fighting spirit in his heart burned.

Li Qikong was well aware that this Divine Monarch Realm expert, suddenly appearing on the outskirts of the Gui Gou Abyss, probably intended harm toward them.

Now, with no retreat, they could only fight to the death.

...

In another direction, the faces of Emperor Heimang and the other four were grim, their mood sinking to the bottom.

This Divine Monarch Realm expert had been hiding behind the scenes, watching them for millions of years. Such patience and endurance were truly terrifying.

What, exactly, was this guy’s scheme?

The ancient tomb.

Inside the great hall.

”What to do? Even with its battle power halved, a divine spirit’s soul from the Divine Monarch Realm isn’t something a child like Qikong can handle...”

The white-haired old man stared blankly at the scene before him, feeling as if he’d fallen into an ice cellar, cold from inside out, unable to describe the bone-chilling sensation.

”Don’t worry. I think Li Qikong will be fine!”

Ye Yun said with a light smile.

”Little benefactor, you don’t understand the terror of a Divine Monarch Realm expert. Although Li Qikong is strong, the gap in realm is too vast!”

The white-haired old man sighed gloomily and despondently.

The little girl before him was merely at the Divine Bridge Realm, far unaware of how perilous the outside world was.

Ye Yun didn’t speak, her gaze fell on the black-armored man within the water mirror.

Without a doubt, this was the soul of a Divine Soil Spirit.

In a past life, he was also an expert of the Divine Monarch Realm.

What piqued Ye Yun’s curiosity was why this guy had been hiding in the depths of the Gui Gou Abyss for nearly a million years without appearing.

What was this guy’s plot?

In ancient times, the Gui Gou Abyss was the battleground of the Divine Soil Spirits and the Dragon Clan army.

If there’s a complete divine spirit’s soul, might there also be a complete divine dragon soul in the Gui Gou Abyss?

Thinking of this, a surge of impulse arose within Ye Yun.

This impulse made Ye Yun want to use her terrifying divine sense to scan the depths of the Gui Gou Abyss.

However, realizing that doing so would be like cheating with GM privileges, she immediately found it uninteresting and abandoned the idea.

”Everything will come to light eventually; haste makes waste...”

Ye Yun consoled herself in her heart.

That impulse within was suppressed once more.

The ghost qi billowed as the arrogant laughter echoed, making each of the Five Emperors’ faces look very unpleasant.

After several tens of seconds.

”Senior, what is the meaning of your appearance this time?”

Emperor Heimang stepped forward, clasping his hands respectfully as he asked.

”Though you’re weak, you are now on the same path with me...”

The black-armored man raised a hand, his gaze calm, saying, ”Let’s speak openly; I need you five to join our Ling Xiao Army!”

Ling Xiao Army?

Could this be the original name of the Divine Spirit Army?

The Five Emperors exchanged glances, eyes revealing a sudden realization.

”Senior...”

Emperor Heimang’s expression became tense, awkwardly smiling, ”It’s been millions of years since that battle, does the Ling Xiao Army still need to expand its ranks?”

”Of course, the battle between our Divine Soil Spirits and the Dragon Clan has never ceased. Unless the Dragon Clan is annihilated, we won’t willingly disappear...”

The black-armored man’s face turned cold, his gaze severe as he spoke.

The surrounding temperature plummeted drastically.

The Five Emperors couldn’t help but shiver, becoming deeply cold-hearted.

How deep must this hatred be?

To engage in an eternal, never-ending battle with the Dragon Clan?

”Such arrogance!”

Looking at the water mirror, Ye Yun also let out a cold laugh.

”Our little benefactor is right. According to the legendary records, if the Ten Super Divine Dragons hadn’t fallen out with each other, the Divine Land Spirits wouldn’t have dared to start this war—even if you gave them ten lives!”

The white-haired old man said, filled with righteous indignation.

Ye Yun turned her head, looking at the white-haired old man with a smile, ”I didn’t expect you to be so principled...”

”After all, I’m also a native cultivator of the Cangnan Continent. In a sense, I’m somewhat related to the ancient Dragon Clan...”

The white-haired old man chuckled awkwardly.

Saying this, a strange feeling suddenly arose within his heart.

How did this little girl beside him know so much?

Could that book really record so much history about the Cangnan Continent?

Whoosh!

The black-armored man suddenly raised his hands high, made a gesture, and his expression became respectful.

”By the order of Lord Ling Xiao, you five are to immediately join the Ling Xiao Army!”

The black-armored man said in a deep voice.

Join the Ling Xiao Army?

The Five Emperors looked at each other, their hearts full of trepidation.

Unexpectedly, this Divine Monarch Realm expert would act first and report later, giving them no opportunity to hesitate.

Seeing the five hesitating, the black-armored man’s eyes showed mockery, and he laughed loudly, ”This is the supreme honor, or else, how could you mere natives of the Cangnan Continent join our Ling Xiao Army?”

After saying this.

He reached into the void with a great hand, turning into a black torrent, instantly sweeping up the Five Emperors, who vanished without a trace.

In the field.

Only Li Qikong remained, dozens of feet away.
