791 Edict of the God of the Underworld (2/2)

With its abilities, it was not as if it was helpless before Xiao Hongyu. However, the price it had to pay was too high and it was definitely not the best choice it could make. The reward from the Underworld's Ghost Emperor was not high enough for it to risk its life.

”It is a pity that this is the Source World. There would be a heavy price for you to pay. Even if you transfer all your power here, it would be difficult for you to get even 1/1000 of your strength through after sending your powers such a distance. However, Huatian Palace's strength is sufficient to defeat 1/1000 of your powers, isn't it?”

Xiao Hongyu seemed to have already calculated everything as he spoke unhurriedly. He had not struck the Hades Heavenly Ghost's doppelganger directly because it might retaliate, despite the price it would have to pay.

”I remember you. If you dare to return to the Spirit Realm in the future, I will take your life in the war between the two worlds.”

The Hades Heavenly ghost looked at Xiao Hongyu intently. Then, the blood moon gradually faded. The ghost's figure gradually faded as well before disappearing completely.

Just then, a voice sounded.

”Lord Heavenly Ghost, please hold on. The Ghost Emperor still has a backup plan. We have not lost yet…”

Jiang Yan, whose expression was out of the ordinary and had changed several times during the earlier conversation, spoke.

”What is it?

The Hades Heavenly Ghost paused and turned around to look at Jiang Yan. The Purple Cloud Ghost Emperor still had a backup plan? Why had it not been told before?

However, the Hades Heavenly Ghost did not see Jiang Yan. Instead, there was a ball of light that was as deep and dark as the black hole. Jiang Yan's body seemed to have melted completely into the black hole at that instant.

”That is…” The Hades Heavenly Ghost was startled. Shock appeared in its eyes, which had remained calm up till now. It looked at the black hole as if it was mad.

”Oh no!” Xiao Hongyu was the first to realize that something was amiss. His expression changed slightly, and he moved without hesitation. A ray of white light expanded around him, and he quickly gathered the people from Huatian Palace around him.

At the same time, the Huatian Palace Projection in the sky released a brilliant ray of light downwards, enveloping everyone from Huatian Palace within its light. The sacred and holy aura filled every corner of the space.

Mo Qingge and Mo Qingtian were shocked as they stared at the black hole. Their expressions were extremely grave.

Mo Wen and the others from Huatian Palace were all confused. They did not know what happened to cause the Hades Heavenly Ghost and Xiao Hongyu to react so dramatically. They looked at each other. Even though they did not know what had just happened, they could all tell that it was something bad.

The black hole that Jiang Yan had turned into spun in the sky. The space around it twisted along with it. However, other than that, it seemed as if nothing had changed.

There was something that attracted everyone's attention though. Something was slowly making its way out from the black hole. It was a simple and old looking sheepskin book. It seemed very old and its aura made one feel as if it was from an ancient time.

The moment the object appeared, it felt as if it was in control of everything in the heavens and the earth. All the rules of the universe were under its reign and it was as if it was the ruler of the universe that dictated the laws in it.

The Hades Heavenly ghost, Xiao Hongyu, and the Huatian Palace Projection were like candles in a thunderstorm. They were all on the brink of collapse.

”It is the Edict of the God of the Underworld! How is that possible! How could there be something like that?.”

The Hades Heavenly Ghost seemed as if it had seen a ghost as it screamed. It was filled with fear. The fear was natural, and it was from the respect it felt instinctively and from the depths of its soul. No matter how powerful its cultivation levels were and how terrifying it was, this instinctual fear would not change even the slightest.

”The Edict of the God of the Underworld…!”

Mo Qingge and Mo Qingtian were completely stunned. They had never imagined that this legendary object would appear before them one day. They had seen many things, and in the Source World, few were more knowledgeable than them. However, the appearance of the edict was almost like a dream to them. It represented the rules of heaven and earth. It was of the utmost and highest status. How could it appear here?

”Oh no!” Xiao Hongyu said. He breathed in deeply and his expression seemed a little stiff. The Edict of the God of the Underworld! This object had never appeared before, even in the most intense battle between the Spirit Realm and the Underworld. It was now in the Source World! He had deemed the sacred rite of the Ghost Lair very important and had prepared to fight during the rite. However, it now seemed that that was far from enough. It was far from enough…

He feared that something shocking was about to happen…
