792 The Spirit of the Ghost Mother -Xu Qianqian (1/2)

The Hades Heavenly Ghost trembled. It had been about to leave but it could not take another step forward. It knelt with a thud and laid prostrate. It did not dare to move at all. The Edict of the God of the Underworld represented the God of the Underworld. The citizens of the Underworld would not dare to go against it.

”Legends say that there are nine scrolls in the Edict of the God of the Underworld,” Mo Qingge said with difficulty as she looked at the Edict of the God of the Underworld. ”Only a few are still in existence after billions of years. Even the supernatural beings and the undead in the Underworld desire to possess it. How did Jiang Yan get his hands on something like that?” She could not help but feel fear rising from within. The appearance of the edict was startling news to all the worlds out there. What did its appearance in the Source World mean?

The God of the Underworld was an extremely powerful existence in legends. He was the only high deity in the Underworld and had ruled the Underworld for many many years. He was considered a Divine Soul to all in the Underworld. Historical records showed that the God of the Underworld was one of the oldest existences. Yet, he had become a legend many years ago. He had become a legend that all the other worlds could only look up to.

In the Primeval Age, the God of the Underworld had once issued nine edicts. Each edict was a heavenly path and was to be adhered to. To those from the Underworld, the Edict of the God of the Underworld was the utmost highest existence.

Jiang Yan could not possibly possess something like that. Everyone knew that. Yet, if the edict did not belong to him, who did it belong to? Who was the person who had brought out the Edict of the God of the Underworld at this sacred rite?

”Father!”

Before the altar in the ancient city, the young master of the Ghost Lair knelt with a thud. Tears flowed down his face, and his eyes were filled with sadness and despair. He was Ghost King Jiang Yan's biological son, the first young master of the Ghost Lair, and the most talented person in the younger generation. However, at this moment, his eyes were filled with despair because he knew that his father's soul had been dispersed the moment he brought out the Edict of the God of the Underworld. His father would not have taken out the edict until the very last crucial moment before his death.

”Why are you crying? Everything must be sacrificed for the sacred rite. The Edict of the God of the Underworld represents the God of the Underworld. It is my honor to be called by the God of the Underworld and I do not have any regrets should I die.”

An illusionary figure slowly emerged from the black hole. The figure was very faint and it felt as if it might be dispersed by the slightest wind. However, the figure was in the middle of the black hole. One could vaguely make out Jiang Yan's features. Jiang Yan was kneeling in prayer. His hands were raised up high, and the Edict of the God of the Underworld was suspended above his palms.

”We must not allow him to complete the sacred rite!” Xiao Hongyu yelled. He flicked his fingers forcefully and an enormous force flowed through him. At the same time, the Huatian Palace projection shook forcefully and released an extremely powerful burst of energy that smashed at Jiang Yan.

Xiao Hongyu had attacked with all his strength and had activated the power of Huatian Palace. However, his attack had disappeared without a trace before reaching Jiang Yan. It was as if an invisible mouth had appeared in the air and swallowed his power.

Cough!

Xiao Hongyu shook violently, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. His energy immediately weakened significantly. He had looked like an energetic middle-aged man a moment ago but seemed to have aged several decades in an instant. Wrinkles appeared on his face and most of his hair turned white. It was as if he had gone straight from middle-age to old-age.

In the skies above, the illusion of the Heaven Palace Hall that had taken up most of the space suddenly shattered and dispersed. The connection between Huatian Palace Projection and Heaven Palace had been broken and could not be restored. All of this had happened silently and without any warning at all.

”Grand Palace Lord!”

”Grand Palace Lord, what's the matter?”

The elders of Huatian Palace were all shocked and flustered when they saw that Xiao Hongyu was injured. To them, the Grand Palace Lord was like an undefeatable God. How was it possible that he could be injured?

”Grand Palace Lord, it is impossible to do anything now.” Mo Qingge shook her head.”The Edict of the God of the Underworld is the law of the heavens. Where it exists, it rules and controls all in the universe. Unless there are seniors who have understood the way of the Heavenly path, everything that we do would be futile,” she said softly.

She sighed. The Edict of the God of the Underworld was before them. No matter how hard they tried, it would all be futile.

”Lord Heavenly Ghost, my cultivation level is low and even if I burn through my lifeforce to evoke the Edict of the God of the Underworld, I will not be able to hold on for too long. I cannot complete the sacred rite alone. Will you please help me? Jiang Yan ignored the warriors of Huatian Palace and looked at the Hades Heavenly Ghost. Even though the Edict of the God of the Underworld was before him and he could easily destroy everyone from Huatian Palace, the people from Huatian Palace were not even a fraction as important as the sacred rite.

”What do you mean?” The Hades Heavenly Ghost looked at Jiang Yan in shock and anger.
