Chapter 1649: Netherworld Race Descending

Poison Spirit’s interrogative methods were rather effective; the three soldiers were tortured so badly that they finally couldn’t take it anymore as they came clean.

What they revealed shocked Poison Spirit, Qi Qingchen, and Jiang Yi!

According to the trio, the scouts and formidable martial artists from the four great clans and Heaven Domain had all left and headed to the Random Star Islands. It wasn’t because they had discovered Jiang Yi’s tracks but because something had happened there. The Netherworld Race had suddenly sent a huge army and attacked that area.

This army had come inexplicably while they were extremely numerous. They were all powerful Netherworld Generals; not one Netherworld Envoy was present. According to them, five Netherworld King’s clones had come as well, and the Random Star City had been destroyed with tens of islands being blown to pieces. All the Chaos Sea’ formidable martial artists had all gone to resist the Netherworld Race!

“A Netherworld Realm army?”

Jiang Yi also felt that this was rather incredulous. Why had a Netherworld Realm army come at this time so coincidentally? Could his luck be so good?

However, according to these three God Thearchs, there were still troops heavily guarding the Ethereal Spirit Island. Besides the ten King-Ranked formidable martial artists that had teleported there previously, Dao Clan had also sent two more King-Ranked formidable martial artists there. A hundred thousand soldiers had also been deployed in a five-thousand-kilometers radius, ensuring that not even a fly could enter.

Hearing this news, Jiang Yi was actually more assured. The ten King-Ranked formidable martial artists should not be that strong; they would probably rival Heavenly King Long. His Thousand Illusory Hands and Merged Flames, combined with his mummy, would probably be able to severely wound them—if not kill them. The two Dao Clan King-Ranked formidable martial artists, however, would probably be much stronger.

As this was such a huge matter, it was probably not fake news. Jiang Yi knew how deadly Poison Spirit’s interrogation methods were as well. That meant the Netherworld Realm army’s arrival was true; this was a golden opportunity for Jiang Yi.

“Let’s go!”

Jiang Yi grew excited as he headed towards the Ethereal Spirit Island at his fastest speed. Although there were twelve King-Ranked martial artists on Ethereal Spirit Island, it wasn’t as if he didn’t have the ability to fight them. As long as he could severely wound them, he and the others would be able to successfully head back to the Earth Domain and hide there.

…

The Netherworld Realm’s invasion was actually true. The Random Star Islands were in total chaos now, with many islands being destroyed and countless soldiers slaughtered.

This invasion actually had much to do with White River King, Yellow Lion King, and Heaven Desert King’s plan. The three had leaked the Demon-Killing Palace’s location and time of appearance via the Netherworld Envoys in the Earth Domain to the Netherworld Realm. A few Netherworld Kings had come together and made a plan to launch a sneak attack on the Chaos Sea to kill Jiang Yi and all the Heaven Domain prestigious clans’ talented disciples.

Them deciding to invade so abruptly was primarily because of Jiang Yi. The last time, Jiang Yi had destroyed Netherworld King Ming Di’s clone in the Black Snow Sea, destroying the Netherworld Realm’s plans to invade the Earth Emanations Domain. Jiang Yi’s name was now well-known among the Netherworld Kings; once Ming Di heard that Jiang Yi had gone to the Chaos Sea, he had immediately made the decision to invade.

However, no Netherworld King had actually entered the Chaos Sea; they had only managed to send their clones. After all, their true selves were so formidable; it was very hard to head to the Chaos Sea. If they did, they would actually trigger the Heaven Domain four Supreme Thearchs to intervene. They might all be wiped out.

It was a pity.

Yellow Lion King and company had received the news of the Demon-Killing Palace’s location and appearance belatedly. By the time the news had reached the Netherworld Realm, Jiang Yi and company had all been teleported out. Of course, even if the Netherworld Realm army’s timing had been perfect, it would not have been an ideal situation for them. Hundreds of King-Ranked formidable martial artists from the Heaven Domain prestigious clans were actually gathered in the Chaos Sea; Dao Leng was also there.

Once Dao Leng received the news, he had immediately asked An Tianxing to deploy his forces and to send all the formidable martial artists over to exterminate the Netherworld Realm army. He personally had gone to the Random Star Islands as well. Hence, the intel that Jiang Yi had received from the three soldiers was accurate.

However…

There weren’t only twelve King-Ranked formidable martial artists on Ethereal Spirit Island; there were actually tens of them. The ten elders that the Dao Clan had sent had remained there and were lying in wait near the Ethereal Spirit Island for Jiang Yi to court his own death.

With a few hundred King-Ranked formidable martial artists and a Pseudo Thearch-Ranked formidable martial artist, the Netherworld Realm army was soon suppressed while four Netherworld King’s clones had been destroyed by the combined might of Dao Leng and a group of King-Ranked formidable martial artists.

As the Netherworld Race thought that they had fallen into a trap, the hundred-million-strong Netherworld Race army knew that they were facing certain death as they hurriedly fled in all directions, attacking cities as they went. They were prepared to turn the Chaos Sea into a living hell. One Netherworld King’s clone had also fled and was prepared to cleanse the Chaos Sea with blood.

Dao Leng continued to pursue this Netherworld King’s clone while the remaining King-Ranked formidable martial artists led the human troops as they battled with the remnants of the Netherworld Race army. They were not prepared to stop until all the Netherworld Race beings were slaughtered.

The entire Chaos Sea was in an uproar as the Netherworld Race’s invasion made them all forget about Jiang Yi temporarily. After all, their beef with Jiang Yi was that among humans. The Netherworld Race, however, was the mortal enemy of the entire human race; they would not rest until all these beings were killed.

Every human in the Chaos Sea had their eyes peeled on the Netherworld Race army and its movements. As long as that Netherworld King’s clone was not destroyed, no one could be at peace. A Netherworld King’s clone was a Netherworld King’s unique mystical ability. Every clone had a portion of its owner’s battle strength, and they were very deadly. A Netherworld King’s clone could easily destroy a city, demonizing its millions of inhabitants in a matter of seconds.

As the Netherworld Race army dispersed, it became even harder to fully exterminate them; it would at least take ten days or half a month. As Dao Leng had not returned, that meant that the Netherworld King’s clone was still present.

Jiang Yi and Poison Spirit took turns as they hurried along their way. As no one was blocking their path anymore, the journey was very smooth and safe. When Jiang Yi rested, he could also constantly refine more Power of Heaven and Earth. As the amount of Power of Heaven and Earth in his ninth star sphere grew, Jiang Yi became more and more confident.

Three days, five days… seven days!

Jiang Yi took over from Poison Spirit once again. This time, he went to a nearby island to find out the name of the city there. He then brought Qi Qingchen out and asked her to find it on her map.

They had flown for seven days; they didn’t know how far they had gone. If it was Jiang Yi alone, he would have needed at least half a month. After all, he would have needed to rest and couldn’t continue day and night. With Poison Spirit taking shifts with him, their speed was much faster. After looking at the map, the duo realized that—in one day at most—they would be able to reach Ethereal Spirit Island finally.

“Should we capture someone and ask about the current situation again?”

The closer they were to Ethereal Spirit Island, the more careful Jiang Yi became. After all, if there really was an ambush there, if the three of them dove head-on; they would not be able to leave the Ethereal Spirit Island alive.

He stealthily went to one of the nearby islands and saw more than ten men standing guard outside it. However, these ten-odd men were not patrolling but were gathered together discussing some matters.

“Just nice…”

Jiang Yi went to the foot of a mountain and hid there while he started to eavesdrop. After listening to their conversations, he decided against capturing another soldier. These men were just nice talking about the Netherworld Realm; they were also speaking very animatedly and anxiously and definitely were not faking it. What these men were discussing matched what the three scouts had mentioned previously.

In seven days, the Netherworld Realm army had basically been exterminated. Only some remnants were hiding out in some places. However, that Netherworld King’s clone was still not killed and had gone to the west of the Chaos Sea, destroying yet another three cities as it went and demonizing ten million people into Netherworld Envoys. Those ten million humans had then been killed by the four great clans without any mercy.

To err on the side of caution, Jiang Yi continued moving stealthily as he gathered more information. He realized that many soldiers guarding the islands were all discussing the same thing, and it was very easy for him to gain the information he needed. After half a day, Jiang Yi’s speed increased as he headed straight for the Ethereal Spirit Island.

Most of the Chaos Sea’s King-Ranked formidable martial artists had headed to the west; this was the best time for him to break through. As long as he could kill or severely wound the twelve King-Ranked formidable martial artists on the Ethereal Spirit Island, he and the others would be able to return to the Earth Domain.
