Chapter 451: Chapter 40: Age God · Ye Ming

"Obediently disperse this plague, and I’ll give you a swift end!"

The enormous Azure Dragon spiraled above the sky, its voice echoing through the world, reaching all corners.

At this moment, all living beings within the Black Teeth Kingdom heard the voice of Divine Monarch Mengzhang, and they all looked upward towards the direction of Qichi City.

"Was he defeated so quickly? What a useless fool!"

Astonished, a man dressed in elegant yellow clothes looked up at the sky and couldn’t help but curse.

This was a village within the Black Teeth Kingdom that had been wiped out.

The villagers here had all died from a plague.

However, this man wasn’t here for the villagers.

As an ancient Celestial God who, after death, transformed into a Ghost God due to his discontent and resentment—Shaohao never cared about these mortals.

After taking over the body of Yu Guo, he had been plotting to fully connect the Yin and Yang Realms.

Coincidentally, it was at this time that Shaohao discovered the nation-destroying plans of Fuyou and Yin Yi, and he saw that the sacrificial ritual was evidently crafted by those Great Witches of the Great Xia.

To be honest, Shaohao didn’t really understand the true purpose of that sacrificial ritual.

But that didn’t prevent him from using the ritual, borrowing the resentment from the nation’s downfall to gather enough Nether Qi to blur the boundaries of life and death.

This village was a key node that Shaohao found in the dark.

Beneath this village lay buried the corpse of a God slaughtered by Wu Yi.

This God wasn’t particularly powerful, but his divine powers were quite strange; in life, he had the ability to freely traverse the Netherworld.

When Fuyou and Yin Yi set up their formation, they passed by this village but did not discover the God’s corpse.

Only Shaohao, returning from the Underworld, discovered this body trapped in the crevice between Yin and Yang.

"Very well, let me lend you a helping hand!"

After a moment of contemplation, Shaohao squinted his eyes slightly and murmured softly.

As a top-tier Celestial God capable of returning from death.

Even if Shaohao had fallen and become a Ghost God, his powers were not much inferior to his peak in life.

Therefore, when he decided to intervene in this sacrificial ritual, the Nether Qi, originally dispersed by the Fire-Devouring Spirit, gathered once again.

However, Shaohao’s actions inevitably drew the attention of the Underworld as well.

"Which Ghost God dares disrupt the order of the Netherworld!?"

With a stern shout, a phantom from the Underworld appeared in Shaohao’s vision.

It was a goddess with an entirely pale body, dual horns on her forehead, and fierce red eyes.

At her sudden appearance, Shaohao instinctively stepped back.

But he quickly realized that this was not the Underworld, but the mortal world.

The Red-eyed Goddess across could not possibly lock onto his position, she merely projected her Divine Power here.

"Ye Ming, right now I’m not in the Netherworld, what right do you have to control me?"

With a faint sneer on his face, Shaohao’s voice carried a trace of resentment.

In the thousands of years after being driven back to the Underworld by Yu Guo, Shaohao had suffered greatly.

Especially this Red-eyed Goddess who was born only a thousand years ago, she was practically the embodiment of unyielding law.

A large part of the reason Shaohao took the risk to return to the mortal world was to escape Ye Ming’s control.

"It’s actually you?"

Evidently, upon hearing Shaohao’s voice, Ye Ming also recognized him.

"You abandoned your duty as a Yin Spirit, left your post without permission, and escaped back to the mortal world, you’ve already violated the Yin Law."

"Now you dare to disrupt the order of the Netherworld, do you know this is an unforgivable crime that leads to annihilation!"

Hearing Ye Ming’s rebuke, Shaohao instead laughed and mockingly retorted loudly.

"You fool, do you think I’m like you?"

"I’ve endured enough of the Lord of the Mansion’s servitude over thousands of years in the Underworld!"

"Now I have returned to the mortal world and have encountered the true Celestial Human Technique!"

"I will sooner or later become a true Great Celestial God, equal to the Lord of the Netherworld!"

...................................................

Meanwhile, at the Flying Heaven Stronghold in the Hundred Lands Mountain Range.

Under Wu Zhen’s guidance, Ying Long had preliminarily mastered the use of the Red Eye Tripod.

So when Ying Long, from a thousand miles away, clearly saw the confrontation between Shaohao and Ye Ming, his expression was one of shock.

Unlike the third Celestial Eye of the mountain people.

The power of the Red Eye Tripod was more mystical and free-willed.

As long as the bearer desired, he could disregard all distance and obstacles to see any scene he wished to see.

It was a kind of illogical power.

Just like how Ying Long could clearly see the confrontation between Shaohao and Ye Ming, but couldn’t tell how far apart they were from him.

Also, for instance, Ye Ming should theoretically be impossible to see while in the Underworld.

Even if the mountain people’s Celestial Eye could span a thousand miles and accurately lock onto Shaohao’s position.

All they would see is Shaohao’s solitary roar and ridicule, utterly unaware of who he was speaking to.

"Is he the Ghost God who escaped from the Underworld?"

Staring intently at Shaohao, Ying Long’s voice trembled slightly.

No matter how prodigious his talent, he was, after all, just a five-year-old child.

The standoff between two top-tier Ghost Gods, even viewing it from afar, was enough to strike fear deep into his soul.

"I really didn’t expect... Shaohao would actually get involved in Kang Hui’s resurrection ritual."

After a brief silence, Yu Guo within Ying Long also spoke, borrowing his voice.

Unfortunately, Yu Guo’s lamentation wasn’t finished before Wu Zhen beside him let out a dismissive laugh.

"Hah, is that all you noticed?"

"It seems just as the rumors say, you only obtained the ’Red Eye Tripod’ after the sixth Witch King’s death."

"Though the sixth Witch King was naive, he remained wary of you..."

"Not only do you not know how to use the ’Red Eye Tripod’ to discern the essence of all things, you’ve never even seen the sixth Witch King’s appearance."

Upon hearing Wu Zhen’s words, Ying Long looked at him in bewilderment.

The young Ying Long still didn’t understand what Wu Zhen’s words meant, but Yu Guo had already caught on.

"You..."

Gazing at Wu Zhen with a trembling voice, Yu Guo indeed saw the smile on his face grow brighter.

"Just as you suspected, that Ye Ming is the sixth Witch King."

"They say the Lord of the Netherworld enjoys collecting exceptionally talented souls; now it seems this isn’t just a rumor."

"The soul of the sixth Witch King after death, has now transformed into the Yin Spirit Ye Ming."

"And judging by her performance, even among the Yin Spirits, Ye Ming is a top-tier existence."

"Otherwise, it wouldn’t be possible for someone like Shaohao, who became a Ghost God thousands of years ago, to be so wary of her."
