Perfect Double Agent

Meng An nodded hurriedly and headed north, secretly delighted. This prince must have improved again; every gesture exuded imperial power. With the five great calamity ancestral masters of the world absent, there was simply no one in the heavens who could withstand him.

At the same time, he also felt that unification was not far away. The fact that His Highness had come out of seclusion and done such a thing would inevitably accelerate this process.

I wonder what Your Highness wants the Three Lives Elixir for. The formula for the Emperor's Elixir is not found in the heavens. The Three Lives Elixir has extraordinary effects and can be used to refine many precious elixirs, but it is not enough to allow a King-level breakthrough; it can only achieve advancement.

"Could it be..." He suddenly thought of a possibility: the other party himself did not need pills. It was very likely that alchemy was to accelerate the evolution of others. A king may seem to be infinitely close to becoming a king, but this process often takes tens of millions of years, and there may not be any progress even after several eras.

In other words, this prince wanted his followers to evolve as well, and the thought of this excited him instantly.

Most dark beings are cold-blooded. There are quite a few Dao Ancestors, but almost none of them truly care about their people. Most of the time, they simply ignore them, even their descendants.

The North belongs to no power and is known as a barren land. Originally, a hegemon was lurking there, but that hegemon died and was killed by the dark forces. This area became a piece of meat for various forces, and everyone wanted to take a bite, which led to chaos in this land, especially in the Demon Abyss.

The Demon Abyss is one of the ancient forbidden lands of the Three Realms. Its origins are mysterious. It has survived many great calamities and is said to exist forever, transcending the mundane world.

In the past, a great sect once mobilized its entire strength to attack, but the entire sect was destroyed in the abyss of demons. On that day, the blood of countless living beings stained the sky and the earth red, alarming countless people.

What followed was even more terrifying: an ancient powerhouse emerged from within, annihilating hundreds of forces connected to that great sect in one fell swoop, washing the land in blood. The cold-bloodedness of his methods was appalling.

But the truly top-tier powers all know very well that there are several forbidden areas in this world that once dominated the world. Every time a living being emerged, it would stir up a bloodbath, leaving corpses scattered all over the land. In those distant times, forbidden areas were synonymous with bloody turmoil.

Meanwhile, a group of living beings had arrived at the edge of that black abyss.

This is a dark abyss that is not very large, only a thousand miles in diameter. It lies flat in the center of a blood-red land and rotates slowly like a vortex. As it rotates, the white clouds and meteors floating in the sky are drawn in and sink into it, turning into dust.

It was very strange. The Demon Abyss, stretching for thousands of miles, resembled a demonic eye or a giant mouth, filled with black mist and deathly aura, spreading a chilling wind that sent shivers down one's spine. It was as if the entrance to the underworld was waiting for the souls of all living beings to return.

“Your Highness, this is the place,” Meng An said.

Bai Ye hesitated, glancing sideways at Meng An, noticing that even the Old Demon and the Purple Dragon were watching.

Meng An understood immediately, rolled up his sleeves, and stomped his foot, causing the earth to shake and the shockwave to sweep across the land. "Where are the watchdogs? His Highness has come in person, so hurry up and come out to greet him!"

It was a loud roar, delivered in an ancient language, that shook the Demon Abyss, causing it to spew forth black mist.

However, this action also touched the hearts of those inside. Each forbidden zone has a king in charge, and the level of kings is not low. Otherwise, how could they remain detached from the world?

"who!"

The black mist transformed into a phantom, appearing and disappearing in the abyss. A pair of blood-red eyes coldly stared at the group above, finally settling on the arrogant Meng An.

"Servant, go back and fetch the watchdog! You have no right to know who my lord is!"

The old man's posture was too arrogant, and his strength was also exceptionally terrifying. He exuded a strange and ominous aura, which made the owner of the Blood Eyes' heart skip a beat, as if the deepest imprint of his soul had been awakened.

But to everyone's surprise, the once arrogant old man turned to look at a white-clad man behind him after saying just one sentence, his old face beaming with smiles, as if he had become a completely different person. The speed of his change of expression was astonishing.

"Your Highness, some people may have been sleeping for too long, and some people are not in the same place as the servants. Let's not wait any longer and go straight in. Let's see who dares to stop us."

"Is all darkness this arrogant?" The old demon beside him was filled with strange thoughts. We are reincarnations, after all. Is it good for the people of the Soul River to be so stubborn? But why did he feel a strange sense of comfort? He couldn't help but want to laugh.

Chapter 635 Gathering of All Gods

"Your Highness?"

The creatures in the black mist then began to take a serious look at the young man. At first glance, there was nothing wrong with him, but upon closer inspection, their entire souls trembled. It was as if a kind of bloodline-like suppression existed, causing a sense of fear and awe to rise from the bottom of their hearts.

Combined with the demeanor of the silver-haired old man who resembled a servant, he vaguely understood.

A powerful figure in the shadows!

"My lord, please go inside and wait a moment... I will go and wake up Lord Crocodile."

Two crimson moons opened a passage, and the figure retreated quickly, not daring to linger or leave anyone outside. He was merely a guard of the forbidden area; if that lord knew he had neglected a distinguished figure, he wouldn't even have a chance to live.

The Demon Abyss was deep and dark, like a black hole in the ground. The three were led into the blood-red passage. As soon as they stepped in, it was as if they had arrived in the land of death. What they saw was not black, but blood.

A blood-red sky, a blood-red earth, and mountains of blood-red stars piled up among the ruins. At the far end, a blood-red lake filled with the dust of the world lies quietly, with countless white bones faintly visible inside. There is no life here, only boundless deathly silence.

The space here was quite large, like a small, hidden world, its destination unknown. Yet, the three of them fixed their gazes on the center of the blood-red lake.

There, there was a withered herb that resembled a small tree, emitting a strange medicinal fragrance and permeated with a special substance. It was rooted on a blood-red mound dozens of feet high in the center of the lake. Although it looked wilted and about to die, it radiated a dazzling, sacred radiance, making its extraordinary nature immediately recognizable.

"The Three-Life Medicine!" Meng An exclaimed in surprise, recognizing the little tree's origin. He had only tried it out, but he hadn't expected to actually find it here.

The Three-Life Medicine is very special. Many ancient elixirs require it as a catalyst. However, the Three-Life Medicine grows in very demanding environments. It is often nurtured by the blood and soul of the strongest beings. A long time and a special environment are indispensable, which creates its miraculous and unpredictable medicinal effects.

Bai Ye walked over, causing the crimson lake to ripple. One after another, creatures inside opened their eyes. Some had two heads, one a crocodile head and the other a bird head, like rotten human bodies stitched together, oozing pus. Others had the upper body of a dragon and the lower body of a qilin, but with the feet of an ox, their bodies covered in red fur, resembling a strange creature.

This is very strange. There are many such creatures at the bottom of the lake, some of which are even indescribable and extremely bizarre. There are more than a dozen of them, which has completely opened the old demon's eyes. What kind of monsters are these!

But as the white night passed, all the creatures inside trembled, emitting low, whimpering growls, wanting to stop it, yet daring not to.

"These bastards, there must have been more than one plant in the past, some of them were dug up by them!" Meng An also came along, but when he saw the two small pits left on the mound, he immediately started cursing.

Without a doubt, someone must have already unearthed it in the past, and this one in front of us is most likely a recent species.

At this moment, a blood-red figure appeared before a floating ancient palace deep within the forbidden zone. It knelt before it, uttering inexplicable syllables that sounded like chanting or calling out, causing the ancient palace to tremble.

"boom!"

Wisps of black mist spread out from it, accompanied by the emergence of a kind of vitality, and the entire palace trembled.

"What...thing!"

"Meng An, it's you! How dare you touch my medicine!" The creature in the hall was instantly awakened by a sweep of divine sense.

"Boom!"

At this moment, the entire world seemed to tilt. Black mist soared into the sky, and ominous fluctuations shook the world. In the deepest part, as a blurry creature was born, the world itself began to distort.

Then it charged over, heading straight for this place; clearly, the Three Lives Medicine could not be lost.

But as a large hand rose, it was instantly slammed back into the depths, its body cracking, its red fur flying everywhere, and it let out a chilling scream, like the howl of a vengeful ghost.

"You are……"

A bizarre creature crawled out from the depths, its three heads constantly shaking: a black head on the left, a dragon head in the middle, and a human head on the right. Its lower body was that of an ancestral crocodile with six arms. However, both the head and the body were in a state of semi-rottenness, flowing with black and yellow blood that was hard to look at.

"Your Highness, wipe your hands." Meng An handed over a piece of golden brocade, his face full of obsequiousness. "Your Highness, I can handle this. You don't need to do it."

Extreme Crocodile: "..."

Only then did he not be able to resist looking at the white-robed youth. Upon seeing him, his pupils contracted and his entire body trembled, as if he had seen an unparalleled figure. His three heads instantly lowered, but he couldn't help but feel terrified. The Three Lives Medicine had reached its full potential and was to be offered to the Grand Commander. The reason he was staying here was to protect this medicine.

He had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "You reincarnated people come to our Soul River to steal things. Even if you complain to them, you won't be in the right!"

But as soon as Bai Ye raised his hand, all three of his heads shrank back, their eyes filled with fear, and their bodies involuntarily tried to retreat.

"Who said we robbed it? This is a gift from your Soul River to my Highness!" Meng An sneered. You're just a gatekeeper, and you're acting all arrogant? Is it that His Highness can't lift a finger, or that I, Meng An, can't speak up!

The crocodile dared not speak, watching helplessly as the Three Lives Herb was dug up. Afterward, the three turned to other areas and dug up several more sacred herbs. This made his heart bleed. These were the accumulations of many eras, waiting for the day when darkness would emerge, so that they could be offered to the great figures there.

"My lord... they're gone..." A misty creature with only two blood-red eyes glanced at the panting crocodile and whispered, "Darkness has emerged, and it seems to be related to that white-robed lord."

"It's been born?" The extreme crocodile was taken aback. "Isn't it not time yet? Even if it's going to be born, it should be us!"

Three epochs ago, someone came there once, took two Three Lives Medicines, told him to keep waiting, and then hurriedly returned, leaving behind a message: "The heavens will fall, but the river will endure." This means that this time, it is their Soul River that should destroy the heavens.

"Why didn't you say so sooner!" The crocodile glared at him with its blood-red eyes, its face full of murderous intent.

“You said that if the Soul River doesn’t emerge, then we shouldn’t awaken you…” Blood Eyes continued to explain, including the engulfing darkness, the changes in the heavens, and the changes in the Three Realms in recent years, which made Extreme Crocodile fall silent for a while.

He wasn't a mere soldier or general; on the contrary, he was a commander. This place, seemingly a forbidden zone, was actually a military outpost, garrisoned by more than twenty dark creatures, responsible for observing the heavens and awaiting the birth of the Calamity Land.

But unexpectedly, Samsara was the first to emerge in this era, launching a massive attack on the heavens and shattering many great realms. The appearance of Meng An was the best proof of this. He had seen that old man several eras ago. Like him, he was one of the peripheral personnel left behind after the last destruction of the heavens.

However, when they left the forbidden zone and stood above looking into the distance, the entire southern part of the Three Realms was shrouded in towering black fog. The fog surged and rolled in patches, emanating a dense, ominous substance. Wherever it passed, a calamity-inducing aura swept across the sky. Most strangely, the substance was very pure, making him want to try and get a taste of it.

"They've directly attacked the Three Realms!" the Extreme Crocodile murmured. Some of the creatures in the black mist were terrifying, like a black Buddha who was almost at the supreme level. He was fighting a great battle with a local overlord, causing the magnificent mountains and rivers to collapse continuously. Moreover, as the battle progressed, the old Buddha became more and more familiar with his own control and was rapidly adapting to the use of his power.

Not only the Buddha, but there were more than twenty Dark Kings, wreaking havoc throughout the south, causing the originally chaotic world to begin to unite and fight against the darkness.

"How is this possible? Where did they come from? How can there be so many of them!" a leader of an ancient lineage exclaimed. Darkness was clearly in the north, so how could it suddenly appear from the Three Realms?

"It's here... the full-scale attack of darkness... whether this era will be destroyed depends on whether the heavens will unite..." On the southern edge, an old Taoist priest watched quietly, without any joy, anger, sorrow or happiness. Only when his gaze swept over the huge black Buddha statue of the great battle did a slight fluctuation appear.

"Master, aren't you going to intervene?" Zi Xi asked, puzzled. Although the Dao Clan had weakened in the Three Realms, they were still powerful. Based on her observations in recent years, this cheap master was probably an extremely ancient being with unfathomable strength, and might not be inferior to the Emperor Slayer.

"It's useless to deal with it. As long as the source is not extinguished, the fire of darkness will not go out. We can take advantage of the sweeping darkness to unite all the forces in the heavens and accelerate the unification."

Also, I need to go see some old friends; they've been sleeping for too long.

"Old friend?"

Zi Xi vaguely guessed what was going on, but as the old Taoist led her away from the Three Realms, the first stop was completely beyond her expectations. She ended up in a void turbulence and kept traversing through it.

"Could it be..." She thought of a possibility. According to rumors, the Western Heavenly Emperor may have a master in some void turbulence. The Western Heaven has searched for many years but has not found him. But if it is true, how powerful must a strong person who can train the Western Heaven be!

But then she thought of that figure in white, the man for whom even kings were willing to follow. Where was he now? What was he doing?

……

The southern part of the heavens.

In a vast and boundless ocean of void, countless stars were ignited, radiating surging flames that roasted a celestial furnace above.

The furnace is enormous, formed from a condensed universe. On its surface, flowers, trees, strange insects, birds, beasts, mountains, rocks, and seas appear one by one, like all living things. Sometimes it transforms into simple tadpoles, sometimes into giant rocks that tear the sky and fill the sea. The scenes are endless and ever-changing. In the end, they are unified into a series of brilliant symbols of the Great Dao, and in the process of reorganization, they return to their simple and unadorned state.

No one knows what level of understanding the Dao the White King has reached. Since his debut, this man has possessed an extraordinary level of comprehension, and in just a few hundred thousand years, he has grown to a level that no one dares to imagine.

In this void, there were not many people: Old Demon, Meng An, Gu Zu, Wu Shang, Kun Di, the Sword King, and a purple dragon. Besides them, there was only a figure sitting cross-legged in front of the furnace, and a beautiful woman in a red dress who occasionally added seven-colored blood and chaotic blood.

Among them, Wu Shang was wearing a bone crown, allowing strands of nine-colored light rain to fall from above, bathing him and making him sway. Even his flesh and blood were blurred, but he still persevered. A humanoid phantom between his eyebrows sat there, constantly breathing in and out.

On the other side, the old demon also had a bone staff on his head, just like Wu Shang's, undergoing tempering. The rest of the group were all surrounding a sacred tree, their primordial spirits sitting cross-legged on their heads, absorbing the substances falling from the tree, causing the sacred tree to wither and droop.

One day, two days... five years, nine years!

This process continued, and during that time, people came and brought batches of celestial treasures, some of which were used to feed the great tree, and others were carefully placed next to the furnace.

Over the years, the dark forces have been waging war against the world, conquering one great realm after another, and collecting an enormous amount of immortal treasures. Many people have even evolved themselves as they fought.

Similarly, some people perish; some kings fall forever, while others are immortal, their bodies and souls annihilated. There will be death in war, no matter where you are.

However, in recent years, not only the north, but also the south has been occupied.

A dark, demonic land emerged in the south, from which countless corpses crawled out. Their evolution was so rapid that it was terrifying; in just a few months, more than ten dark immortals awakened.

And this process is spreading rapidly, like a plague. Even the West has not been spared. In an ancient crater formed by a war between various races, earth-shattering changes are also taking place. Black mist is surging, the sky is collapsing and clouds are splitting, and one corpse after another is coming back to life.

The forces of darkness were unprecedented and unparalleled, alarming countless realms. The ability to resurrect the dead was terrifying. In particular, many powerful forces witnessed an ancient lineage that had been extinct for many years in an area covered by darkness. A chilling old monster crawled out of the ancestral tomb of that lineage, sending shivers down many people's spines. It was too wicked, and its methods were completely unimaginable.

This means that if they die, they will not escape that fate and will be transformed into monsters that even their own relatives will not recognize.

This is an era of calamity, concerning the life and death of all living beings. It is because of the rampant actions of darkness that the forces of all the heavens have begun to unite, with the Three Realms as the leader and the various overlords as the supreme rulers, to jointly resist the darkness.
