Chapter 602: Five Fiend Lords (2/2)
Thousands of ghastly creatures rose up from the ground as well. These creatures emitted an evil aura that instilled fear in all; it was clear that they were extremely powerful. These ghosts were led by five creatures with crowns on their heads. The sentence from earlier was uttered by one of them.
These creatures looked like humans yet also ghosts; some had three heads and six hands, others had fiendish horns, and some had terrifying deformed bone spurs protruding from their bodies…
The ancestors examining these creatures all took a deep breath since the five commanding ghastly creatures emitted a s.h.i.+ver-inducing aura. One ancestor asked himself: “Are these five G.o.dkings?”
Five creatures of the G.o.dking level — these were dreadful existences capable of sweeping through the entire world!
“So it is the five Fiend Lords.” Li Qiye was still very calm in the face of these thousands of fiends while he looked at the five fiends with crowns.
He continued on: “Immortal Emperor Fei Yang decapitated all five of you in the past, making your heads roll like potatoes. After such a long time, all of you finally managed to find your skulls again.”
One of the five Fiend Lords said with a devious smile: “Hahahaha! Naive fool, we are eternal!”
“Eternal?” Li Qiye burst out in laughter then slowly uttered: “Don’t flatter yourselves. Your so-called eternality is only because you all obtained the Ghost Ancestral Tree!”
All the ancestors stared at each other, perplexed, after hearing this. To the ghost race, the Ghost Ancestral Tree was only a legend, and no one had seen it before. For millions of years, many ghosts didn’t believe that this tree existed in this world, that it was only a lie told by future generations.
But now, Li Qiye revealed such a shocking secret; this was too hard to believe.
One of the five Fiend Lords smiled ominously: “Hahaha! What an interesting little human. No wonder you made it all the way here, you know too much!”
Another one added: “You ignored the accepting heavens and barged into the unwelcoming h.e.l.l! Today will be your funeral!”
“Is that so?” Li Qiye responded with a smile before taking out the ancient temple and released the Ghost-Devourer.
The devourer instantly appeared before everyone. While Li Qiye stroked it playfully with one hand, his other hand was holding the Ghost-Devourer Lock.
Li Qiye then chuckled and said: “I know you guys are very amazing, so I have prepared a gift for you fiends.”
The five Fiend Lords became aghast after seeing the devourer and exclaimed: “How... How could you have let it out?! Impossible!”
The other ancestors didn’t know what the devourer was, but it was surely formidable judging by the five Fiend Lords’ frightened expressions.
They all wondered: “What is that thing?”
Lan Yunzhu softly sighed and said: “Ghost-Devourer — an existence from the legends. Outside of Immortal Emperors, no one would be able to stop it in this world.”
The five Fiend Lords had cold countenances at this time; they appeared to be fiends from h.e.l.l as they cried out: “Kill!!!”
The five lords led their army of fiends, heading for Li Qiye. With their roars, they were able to devour the sky and swallow the moon. A terrifying fiendish energy swept through myriad realms with enough momentum to turn the entire nine heavens into the legendary h.e.l.l.
Anyone who saw this scene wouldn’t be able to help themselves from s.h.i.+vering, especially those from the ghost race. They couldn’t believe that the Ancestral Realm, the origin of the ghost race, had such terrifying fiends. When these fiends came out, the Ancestral Realm no longer had the appearance of a sacred ground, it was more like a realm of fiends.
An imperial ancestor suddenly thought of something and commented quietly: “What if the Ancestral Realm was never our ghost race’s origin?”
Back at the Ancestral Realm, the five lords led their fiends to attack as they terrifying howled. Li Qiye let go of the chain, but the collar remained on the Ghost-Devourer’s neck.
He let go of it and slowly spoke: “Go, have a taste of these fiends. You’ll love their taste!”
