I wield power with my innate talents, and forge the Heavenly Court.

After listening to Zhang Zhaoyi's account, Wang Chao finally had a general understanding of the current situation.

Especially after hearing about the Blood Serpent's retinue, Wang Chao's interest was piqued.

Does it use its own power to erode and pollute other life forms, turning them into its own kind?
Wang Chao couldn't help but look at Zhang Zhaoyi and the others with great interest.

I wonder if, if he were to merge his power into the bodies of others, it would also create his own kind of followers.

Of course, whether or not he had any relatives was not important. What the dynasty was thinking about was whether he could extend his power to this world and bring this world into his hierarchy as well.

Relatives are one direction, and the Underworld Emperor is another.

As he felt the countless spiritual energies related to the Underworld Emperor emanating from everyone and converging towards him, a smile appeared on Wang Chao's face.

However, since the Underworld Emperor's status has not yet been formed, and the two sides are from different worlds, the dynasty's status and abilities cannot evolve at will in this world.

Therefore, the distinction between Heaven and Earth cannot be determined for the time being.

Transforming relatives can potentially serve as a transitional force.

However, he was not in a hurry to do so; he wanted to see what form those blood serpent followers actually took.

So, after Zhang Zhaoyi finished recounting what had happened during this period, Wang Chao waved his hand, preparing to send them away.

Seeing this, everyone was overjoyed, finally able to leave.

"Thank you, Your Majesty the Underworld Emperor!"

"You lowly servants, get out of here!"

Soon, most of the people had left.

Only Zhang Zhaoyi and a dozen or so people who followed him were left.

"What? Aren't you leaving yet?"

Wang Chao looked at Zhang Zhaoyi in surprise. Wasn't he terrified of him before?
Finally mustering the courage to look up at Wang Chao, Zhang Zhaoyi suddenly realized that Wang Chao no longer possessed the terrifying and dangerous aura that had previously filled him.

Feeling this, Zhang Zhaoyi felt a sense of relief.

It seems that this Underworld Emperor has restrained his power.

Thinking of their current predicament, Zhang Zhaoyi gritted his teeth and finally spoke:
"Your Majesty, I wish to follow you and serve you faithfully. I hope Your Majesty will grant me a chance."

Regardless of whether this person is the legendary Underworld Emperor or not, this is an incredible opportunity for him.

Now that he has caught up with it, he naturally wants to hold on tight.

Otherwise, he would definitely regret it for the rest of his life.

"Oh~?"

Wang Chao looked at Zhang Zhaoyi with surprise, then smiled faintly and said:

"Follow me? What right do you have to follow me?"

As he spoke, a strange aura emanated from Wang Chao.

In an instant, Zhang Zhaoyi felt as if he had fallen into an endless abyss, enveloped by boundless terror, which filled his heart with endless fear.

"cluck"

Unconsciously, Zhang Zhaoyi's teeth began to chatter, and his body swayed slightly, as if he were about to fall to the ground at any moment.

Whether it was a moment or a year, Zhang Zhaoyi forced himself to stay alert and replied cautiously:
"Your Majesty, the Underworld Emperor, I am of lowly rank and weak power, and naturally, I am not worthy of Your Majesty's favor."
However, since Your Majesty has descended to the mortal realm, it's impossible for Your Majesty, the Emperor of the Underworld, to handle everything personally. Some menial tasks can always be done by a humble servant.

Seeing that even though his body was trembling like a leaf and his heart was filled with extreme fear, he could still reply clearly and logically, Wang Chao couldn't help but feel somewhat satisfied. Only in this way could he withstand the fusion of the eerie energy.

"hehe."

Wang Chao smiled, withdrew the eerie aura he had been emitting, and said:
"In that case, you can stay by my side for now."

As the dynasty spoke, Zhang Zhaoyi felt the fear in his heart recede like a tide, and he couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty the Underworld Emperor, for giving me this opportunity."
"And them?"

Zhang Zhaoyi first thanked Wang Chao, then looked at his former subordinates and asked Wang Chao for instructions.

"If they are willing to follow, then they can temporarily serve under your command."

If you don't want to, then leave on your own.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Zhang Zhaoyi was overjoyed and then looked at his group of subordinates.

"You have all heard His Majesty the Underworld Emperor's words. Now, whether you stay or leave is your decision."

"General."

"Boss, of course we'll follow you."

"Yes, we will definitely follow the general!"

Hearing what everyone was saying, Zhang Zhaoyi was pleased, but he still quickly spoke up to stop them.

"What do you mean 'follow me'? We all serve His Majesty the Underworld Emperor and follow him."

"Yes, yes, we are all willing to follow His Majesty the Underworld Emperor."

"Yes, we are willing to follow His Majesty the Underworld Emperor."

"We swear to follow His Majesty the Underworld Emperor to the death!"

"Ok!"

Wang Chao nodded slightly, and then walked towards the outside.

The dynasty didn't really believe in these people's so-called loyalty; they were just seeking protection.

However, dynasties need some experimental subjects.

As for running errands and doing odd jobs, he didn't even know how long he could stay in this world, and he was just a projection illusion, so what was there to run errands for?
As Wang Chao walked out, Zhang Zhaoyi immediately led his men to follow.

He himself went to a place half a step away from the backward dynasty and asked:

"Your Majesty, where does Your Majesty wish to go? I am willing to lead the way."

The dynasty continued its journey, casually remarking:
"Just take a walk."

"Yes!"

Zhang Zhaoyi bowed respectfully, then fell silent, simply following half a step behind the backward dynasty.

After arriving at the front gate, Wang Chao went straight to the door and gently pressed his hand forward.

Seeing Wang Chao's actions, Zhang Zhaoyi and the others were puzzled, not understanding what Wang Chao meant.

Meanwhile, the dynasty on the other side had no time to pay attention to the crowd.

As I pressed down slowly, I indeed touched that invisible barrier again.

A strange aura surged out, instantly shaking the invisible barrier.

In an instant, visible, semi-transparent ripples spread rapidly outwards from the center of Wang Chao's palm.

"Eh~?"

"Ah~?"

Seeing this strange sight, Zhang Zhaoyi and the others were extremely shocked, not knowing what it was.

There wasn't this layer when they came in and out.

Those who left earlier weren't hindered either, were they?

Wang Chao knew why, but he didn't bother to explain it to the others.

In fact, this special energy barrier evolved under the combined influence of the power of the Celestial Empire and the power of this world.

Within the energy barrier, there are some of the rules and powers of the Celestial Empire world. Naturally, the projection illusions of the Celestial Empire world like the Dynasty can move around freely.

However, they had no way to leave the area of ​​the energy barrier.

Zhang Zhaoyi and his companions, being beings of this world, naturally have the ability to travel between the two spaces.

The power vibrated the invisible barrier, and the dynasty instantly sensed its strength, which was more than twice as strong as last time.

Wang Chao thought for a moment, then looked at his own body. He felt that it might be related to the amount of strange energy he carried.

The amount of eerie energy within its body now is more than double the total amount of eerie energy it carried last time, as well as the combined amount possessed by the blood-red python.

Of course, its quality far surpasses that of the Crimson Python. However, perhaps the strength of the energy barrier is only related to the total amount of energy, or perhaps there are other factors as well.

In short, the energy barrier is more than twice as strong as the last one.

As the dynasty continuously mobilized its power, the fluctuations of the invisible barrier grew stronger, gradually enveloping the entire manor like ripples on water.

"Click~ Click click"

With a crisp sound of shattering glass, spiderweb-like cracks rapidly spread from Wang Chao's palm, eventually affecting the entire invisible barrier.

Looking up at the sky, countless cracks covered an invisible barrier that shimmered with vibrant colors under the sunlight.

Zhang Zhaoyi and the others were dumbfounded.

So, the legend was true.

There really was some invisible glass barrier that shattered here back then.

This time, it was His Majesty the Underworld Emperor who broke through that invisible barrier.

And what about the last time? Could it have been that blood snake?

Yes, that must be it.
Zhang Zhaoyi and the others nodded vigorously.

Therefore, His Majesty the Underworld Emperor descended to capture that blood serpent.

"Crack!"

With another crisp sound, the invisible barrier shattered, turning into countless crystalline fragments that dissipated into the air.

After the invisible barrier shattered, the dynasty did not rush out, but stood quietly, sensing the changes in the world.

An invisible force rapidly spread from the surrounding world, gradually enveloping the entire manor and slowly dissolving and eroding the discordant forces within.

The biggest source of discord among these factors was undoubtedly the dynasty.

Feeling the rejection and wear and tear, Wang Chao estimated that with his current strength, he could probably hold out for about half a month.

"Hmm~?"

Suddenly, Wang Chao's eyes widened, and he looked at the outside world in disbelief.

Because along with the arrival of the repulsive force of heaven and earth, there was also a force that he was extremely familiar with.

That's eeriness.

Although this eerie aura was extremely faint, almost nonexistent.

However, it does exist.

"How?"

Wang Chao frowned and muttered to himself.

However, the good news is that he also has a certain degree of control over this faint, eerie aura that originated from this world.

Unconsciously, the dynasty dispersed its divine sense and began to contact and control this power.

Little by little, one meter, ten meters.
However, when the strange energy controlled by the dynasty reached a radius of 100 meters, the strange energy in the distance suddenly dispersed, severing its connection with the strange energy controlled by the dynasty.

In this way, when the dynasty's divine sense could not cover a wider distance, it was unable to control more of the strange energy.

However, even these things were enough for the dynasty to find out the origin of these strange phenomena.

Zhang Zhaoyi and others, as well as some hidden civilians dozens of meters away, continuously emitted spiritual power, which was absorbed by the strange energy controlled by the dynasty. Then, it merged with the energy of heaven and earth and evolved into a new strange energy.

That's right, this world also contains the energy of heaven and earth.

Wang Chao estimated that there were probably martial arts practitioners in this world, but their martial arts level was probably not high, at most they had cultivated some acquired internal energy.

The faint eerie aura outside was probably the original eerie aura that the Blood Serpent initially exuded, combined with the spiritual power emanating from the people in the city, and fused with the energy of heaven and earth.

Then gradually, these eerie energies spread out.

Or perhaps this was done intentionally by the Blood Serpent.

After all, judging from the way he had just eroded and transformed the strange energy, it seemed that someone was controlling that strange energy. When it sensed his erosion and control of the strange energy, it actually took the initiative to avoid him.

As for the controller, it can only be the Blood Serpent.

With a slight thought, the strange energy that it had been eroding and controlling quickly gathered and was absorbed into its body, transforming into a wisp of higher quality strange energy.

Then, following his intuition, the dynasty headed west of the city.

When the dynasty left the manor, the pressure and repulsion from heaven and earth increased several times over in an instant, and the strange energy in his body was rapidly consumed.

Without a solution, with the power within him, he can only hold out for a maximum of ten days.

However, after sensing the eerie atmosphere in the world, the dynasty had already vaguely formed an idea.

Although he was unable to transfer the spiritual power and lingering memories of this world to his consciousness space due to the separation of worlds, he was also unable to directly extend the power of the Celestial Empire over.

However, he can completely re-evolutionize his power based on his current consciousness.

Even if it cannot reach the level of the Celestial Empire, it is still possible to stay in this world for a long time.

As he pondered this, the dynasty had already arrived near the City God Temple.

As they passed by, the surrounding eerie atmosphere seemed to flee from them as if avoiding a plague god.

"Roar~!"

Suddenly, a figure, its body as red as blood, lunged at the crowd.

Or rather, they rushed towards Zhang Zhaoyi and his group.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Zhaoyi and the others were startled.

"Gudong!"

Zhang Zhaoyi swallowed hard and said with difficulty:
"Your Majesty the Underworld Emperor, these are the Blood Serpent's retinue."

However, while Zhang Zhaoyi and the others were nervous, they also felt a sense of anticipation.

I wonder how His Majesty the Underworld Emperor will deal with these blood serpent followers who are so difficult to kill.

"Is this the Blood Serpent's retinue?"

Looking at the humanoid monster whose body was covered in crimson scales, which had even begun to deform, and which walked unsteadily like a snake, Wang Chao couldn't help but frown.

With a thought, the strange energy within his body circulated, and an invisible aura instantly spread out.

Zhang Zhaoyi and the others felt a sinking feeling in their hearts, as if something was pressing down on them.

On the other side, the blood serpent's retinue, which had been roaring and attacking, was in even worse shape. It immediately fell silent and stopped, collapsing to its knees with a thud.

The blood serpents had no power to resist the dynasty, let alone the blood serpent relatives whose power had corrupted and eroded them.
Wang Chao took two steps forward, his divine sense sweeping out to sense the condition within the blood-red subordinate's body.

As information flowed into its mind, it gained a profound understanding of the formation and evolution of the Blood Serpent's retinue.

The formation of the Blood Serpent Kin is mainly due to the ability of this world to evolve strange energy.

If it is the ethereal energy of the underworld that is fundamental to the dynasty, it is merely a simple condensation of lingering consciousness, which will only affect a person's mental consciousness, causing mental confusion, or even collapse and death.

However, it generally does not affect the body.

The eerie energy of this world is a variant of the power of heaven and earth, and it also affects the body.

Especially when it integrates into the human body, it merges with the human's essence, energy, and spirit. The human's essence, energy, and spirit are eroded by it, and naturally, they will slowly undergo distortion, transforming into a blood snake.

Consciousness, unable to withstand the erosion of the eerie energy, will naturally collapse and dissipate.

Outwardly, this manifests as a gradual increase in violence and chaos.

Ultimately, the entire soul consciousness was reduced to a core of spiritual power infused with eerie energy, controlling the distorted body and relying on the instinct to gain more spiritual power and more essence of flesh and blood to intimidate and kill any life it encountered.

After figuring out the principles behind the transformation of the Blood Serpent's retinue, Wang Chao immediately had an idea.

"Pfft~!"

In an instant, the eerie core of the Blood Serpent's retinue collapsed.

In an instant, a strange black and red aura emanated from its body, and the blood serpent's retinue collapsed to the ground, completely motionless.

Seeing that the Blood Serpent's retinue had died on its own without the dynasty making a move, Zhang Zhaoyi and the others couldn't help but sigh again, "As expected of His Majesty the Underworld Emperor."

These monstrous things are utterly doomed to encounter His Majesty the Underworld Emperor. (End of Chapter)
