Chapter 1694: The Old Ghost In The Abyss (1/2)
After getting out of the coffin, Li Qiye climbed up and sat on the throne.
It seemed that this particular throne was created by a supreme existence. Unfortunately, things have changed and stars have moved. Even this imperial chair was wasting away in this place.
He looked down at the abyss next to him with a flas.h.i.+ng glint that could see through all illusions and time itself. Nothing in this world could elude his eyes.
In this split second, it illuminated the bottom of the abyss. He could see everything clearly!
A scowl came from below. This scowl alone could shatter the galaxy and annihilate true G.o.ds. It was enough to make the nine worlds tremble. It contained a peerless and unquestionable divinity. No one could challenge its power.
Li Qiye ignored the scowl and simply smirked.
”I heard you wanted to see me.” A voice finally came from the abyss. It was feeble and upon a careful listening, one would find that it was completely identical to that of the old ghost. They would think that the old ghost was hiding below.
”Yes.” Li Qiye smiled and looked around the place. He leisurely commented: ”The abode of the Heavenly Corpse Lord. I have always wanted to come here but have been unsuccessful due to the obstacles.”
”The Heavenly Corpse Burial Ground is not inside the nine worlds or any world for that matter. Plus, we do not welcome outsiders.” The old ghost responded.
”I know, only the remnant of an epoch.” Li Qiye replied: ”All of you buried yourselves in the best location of your epoch for generations to avoid the punishment of the villainous heaven, evading the ultimate judgment. But this only turned all of you into moving corpses.”
”Allowing you here shows our respect and good-will. I expect the same in return.” The old ghost replied.
”I'm not unhappy or anything.” Li Qiye smiled: ”This is indeed a very prestigious entrance, being carried by the ants here. Only you enjoy this treatment in the entire burial ground.”
The old ghost became silent before speaking: ”Since you are here, you must have a transaction for me. I'm listening.”
”It's nothing, I only want to have someone watch the nine worlds for me.” Li Qiye smiled and said: ”The Ancient Ming doesn't only have some defeated soldiers, their lords are still around. Some Immortal Emperors are still hiding in the nine worlds! Thus, I hope someone can take charge after I leave and win a decisive battle!”
”That's impossible. You have been the ruler of the nine worlds during your Dark Crow's days. You should be aware that I haven't left this burial ground for who knows how many years? I don't even remember.” The old ghost said.
Li Qiye nodded: ”I know. You must pay a great price to forcefully leave this place.”
”That's why my hands are tied. You will need to ask someone else.” The old ghost replied: ”Of course, if you really need something, my avatar can do it for you. It does owe you a favor.”
”No.” Li Qiye shook his head: ”I won't deny the immense power of your avatar, it can fight against an emperor but I need one decisive battle to annihilate the Ancient Ming! They have the Corporeal Zone, your avatar isn't enough even if it goes all out. Plus, it is not stable at all due to the withering of time! There are too many restrictions.”
”Then I can't help you. The price of leaving this place for me is beyond your imagination.” The old ghost concluded.
”That's your business and I won't be inquiring further.” Li Qiye chuckled: ”I want to let you know that I'm not here to negotiate. You must do it regardless of your intent!”
”You are threatening me?!” A chilling aura erupted from the depth that could instantly kill a true G.o.d and freeze three thousand worlds over!
