Chapter 1752 - Burying the Brahma Monarch Realm 2 (1/2)
Nan Wansheng was feeling disturbed as of late.
When the Eastern Divine Region was invaded by the Northern Divine Region, he hadn’t paid it too much attention. In fact, he saw it as the perfect opportunity to steal a certain object of eternal life. Even after the devil people appeared out of nowhere and massacred the Eternal Heaven Realm, his danger sense was still mostly silent. He chose to use this tragedy to put extra pressure on the Brahma Monarch Realm instead.
After the Moon God Realm was annihilated out of nowhere, after the war across the Eastern Divine Region turned into a landslide when the truth was announced without warning… even he had no choice but to look away from his greatest desire for a moment.
The million-year long perception the Eastern Divine Region had of the devil people of the Northern Divine Region had been the crux behind their downfall. Now, even the Southern Sea God Emperor himself was starting to think that he had been too naive.
This was especially true after the truth was revealed, and he started hearing some undesirable news from the Southern Divine Region.
It was at this moment the Southern Hell Sea King and the Western Hell Sea King walked over to him and said, “They are here, my king.”
Very soon, six people wearing light gold robes entered his dwelling and knelt before Nan Wansheng. Every single one of them was so powerful they could be mistaken for a living god.
They were the Sea Gods. They were respected and feared by everyone in the Southern Sea Divine Region.
The Southern Sea God Realm was the strongest king realm of the Southern Divine Region. The Southern Sea God Emperor was served by the Four Kings of the Sea Gods—the Eastern Hell Sea King, the Western Hell Sea King, the Southern Hell Sea King and the Northern Hell Sea King—and sixteen Sea Gods.
Today, the Southern Sea God Emperor himself, two Sea Kings, and six Sea Gods had gathered in the Eastern Divine Region for a certain purpose.
Nan Wansheng rose to his feet and stared at the six Sea Gods who arrived at the “perfect” time. But not only did he not look happy, he ordered with a deeply concerned expression on his face, “We will be returning to the Southern Sea Realm right away!”
“... !?” All six Sea Gods looked up in astonishment.
They had rushed all the way here without sleep to carry out their ruler’s will, and the first order he gave them after they arrived was to head… home?
The Southern Hell Sea King and the Western Hell Sea King didn’t look too surprised, however. They had been here since the beginning, so they had heard everything that had happened in the Eastern Divine Region.
“I was too naive,” Nan Wansheng said solemnly. “I completely misjudged Yun Che and the Northern Divine Region.”
No one knew the Northern Divine Region’s strength better than they, the god emperors. Previously, Nan Wansheng thought that the Northern Divine Region was just venting their anger in a suicidal manner. He thought that they would be annihilated by the Eastern Divine Region for sure.
Despite being proven completely wrong later on, he still felt that the Eastern Divine Region wouldn’t go down before dealing a massive blow to the Northern Divine Region. If they dared to attack the Southern Divine Region in that state, then he would happily oblige their suicidal wish and destroy them.
If that was the only thing he was proven wrong about, it would’ve been fine. But every day, he had heard at least one piece of news that was beyond his expectations that frightened even him. From that moment, he knew that he had to revise his opinion of the Northern Divine Region, Yun Che...
…and the reason he was lured to the Brahma Monarch God Realm.
Eternal life was a lure that boiled his blood and maddened his soul, but there very well might be an endless abyss waiting for him beyond that lure.
“Let’s go!” Nan Wansheng ordered decisively. Not only would he not underestimate the Northern Divine Region anymore, he would muster the core forces of the four king realms as fast as possible and attack them immediately after he returned to the Southern Divine Region!
He would catch the Northern Divine Region off guard… just as they had caught the Eastern Divine Region off guard.
Suddenly, they sensed an unusual aura swiftly approaching them.
The Southern Hell Sea King glanced to the side and took off like a hawk. When he returned, he was accompanied by a new person.
The tenth Brahma King of the Brahma Monarch Realm, Qianye Zixiao.
“Oh? You are the tenth Brahma King, aren’t you?” The Southern Sea God Emperor shot the newcomer a look before narrowing his eyes. “Has your god emperor finally come to his senses? Are you here to invite me for tea? Although… you don’t seem to be doing too well.”
That was hardly an adequate description of Qianye Zixiao’s condition. Even a non-cultivator could see that his face was deathly pale, and his eyes were glowing an eerie green light.
A Brahma King’s aura should be as thick as a mountain, but Qianye Zixiao’s was flimsy and in chaos. His skin was also writhing unnaturally as if he was enduring a tremendous amount of pain.
Thump!
Qianye Zixiao suddenly dropped to his knees and crawled toward the Southern Sea God Emperor. Everyone was shocked by his sudden display of humility.
“Southern Sea God Emperor… save me… save me!”
Fear, desire, humility… he looked like a dying man who was trying to grasp onto a last straw of hope.
Without knowing the person himself, no one would believe that this was coming from a Brahma King even if they saw and heard him with their own eyes!
“Hmm?” Nan Wansheng stared at Qianye Zixiao with pin-sized pupils.
He was the strongest god emperor of the Southern Divine Region, and he had the observation skills to match it. The fear and despair ravaging Qianye Zixiao didn’t look fake in the slightest. On the contrary, it looked like he had been this way for a very long time.
He suddenly stretched out and sent a wisp of energy toward Qianye Zixiao. The latter didn’t resist in the slightest.
Just as Nan Wansheng’s consciousness was about to invade Qianye Zixiao’s body, he suddenly stumbled backward in an almost comical manner.
“My king!?” Nan Wansheng’s reaction shocked both the two Sea Kings and the six Sea Gods.
Nan Wansheng stared fixedly at Qianye Zixiao before growling, “What is this poison!?”
He had sensed a terrifying devil that threatened to devour him forever just before his consciousness would enter Qianye Zixiao’s body. It turned his blood ice cold and made him pull away before he even touched the poisonous aura.
At the same time, he figured out the answer to his own question. There was only one possibility.
Everyone in the God Realm knew that the Southern Sea God Realm possessed the deadliest devilish poison in the world, the Absolute God Slaying Poison.
The poison afflicting Qianye Zixiao right now was far worse than the Absolute God Slaying Poison. It was so terrible that it could drive a powerful Brahma King to the depths of despair!
It could only be the same poison that drove Qianye Fantian to a dead end years ago! The poison of the Sky Poison Pearl!
“It’s Yun Che! It’s the Sky Poison Pearl!” Qianye Zixiao shouted in a trembling voice. The reason he forewent even his pride was because Nan Wansheng was his last hope. In a sense, there was nothing more convincing than his shameful display of submission. “The Brahma Heaven God Emperor, the Brahma Kings, the elders, the divine envoys… everyone in the capital was poisoned by it…”
It was a huge shock to Nan Wansheng and his people.
The Brahma Monarch Capital, the core of the Brahma Monarch God Realm and even the Brahma Kings and the Brahma Heaven God Emperor himself were infected with the Sky Poison!?
If this was true, and if the Sky Poison was incurable by anything but the Sky Poison Pearl… did this mean that the Brahma Monarch God Realm might be wiped off of the Primal Chaos!?
The Sea Kings and Sea Gods exchanged terrified glances with each other.
King realms seldom warred against each other because any damage dealt to an opponent usually came at great cost to themselves.
