Nine Nether Heavenly Emperor-Chapter 873 - 860: Devout Prayers

Western Region, Xuanyuan City.

The citizens and martial artists in the city looked up at the sky, gazing at the thirteen figures flying in the void, staring at each of those legendary figures. Ultimately, countless gazes focused on the young figure flying at the forefront.

Many had already recognized that this young man was none other than the one who, over ten days ago, caused a storm in Xuanyuan City, slaughtered three hundred thousand Xuanyuan Warriors, and even killed the City Lord, Xuanyuan Changyun, forcing countless citizens of the city to flee, leaving their homes.

And today, he had returned to Xuanyuan City, and behind him were so many supreme figures! Supreme powerhouses! Ultimate overlords!

"Oh my! Who is this youth, to fly at the very front, with Emperor Xiaoyao and Death Emperor flying behind him! This... this... this is simply against the heavens!"

Upon witnessing this scene, everyone was even more shocked than when they learned that Xuanyuan Changyun had been slain by a mere youth.

It was simply unbelievable, as if caught within a dream.

In an elegant private room of the Ten Thousand Treasures Merchant Building, Elder Kui and Wei Da stood together at the window, gazing up at the sky, both their faces filled with amazement.

"Hiss!" After a moment, Wei Da took a deep breath, turning to look at Kui and said, "This... this person... has such an extraordinary background! Our Young Master Jin Shuai actually knows such a person!"

Upon hearing Wei Da’s words, Kui showed a wry smile and said to Wei Da, "I didn’t expect this either! This person... this person... Could he be the reincarnation of the famed Emperor Nine Nether, Netherworld, that has been rumored lately?"

"Nine... Emperor Nine Nether! Netherworld! Reincarnation!" Kui’s words left Wei Da so shocked that his words became disjointed!

Currently, in the four domains of east, south, west, and north, including Central State, the most talked-about rumor is this one.

It’s said that sixteen years ago, the strongest being under heaven, Emperor Nine Nether, Netherworld, fell with the Source of All Things, a secret of becoming a god, and has been reborn into this world.

"Death Emperor Lingg Yefeng! Emperor Xiaoyao Mo Xiaoyao! Dark Emperor Andang! Emperor of Destruction Miee Tian! And those seven clad in black armor, could they be the legendary Eight Ghost Generals! Such a lineup! Could it be... he is truly Emperor Nine Nether, Netherworld! We... have we really known such a person?"

Gazing at those flying through the void, the two elders of Ten Thousand Treasures Merchant Building, Kui and Wei Da once again muttered in shock and wonder.

Shortly, under the watchful eyes of the masses, people saw these thirteen space-breaking figures descending into the Xuanyuan City Lord Mansion.

...

Central State, Bright Temple!

The three overlords of Central State, Emperor Guangming, Life Emperor, and Emperor of Destiny, have returned to the Bright Camp.

Due to last night’s defeat, their supreme alliance has disbanded, especially since, no matter what, they would never return to Central State with the three of them!

Ao Laixing and Ling Sang were defeated and captured, Ning Cheng betrayed them, leaving them only nine supreme Martial Emperors, while the other side had twelve supreme powerhouses united last night.

Furthermore, they saw last night that Netherworld, though only in the Eight-star Martial Emperor Realm, had the power to withstand a strike from a Supreme Martial Emperor. With such a lineup from the opposition, they no longer dared to recklessly engage.

They have already predicted that they will be pursued to Central State!

The others had tried to persuade these three from the Bright Camp to temporarily abandon Central State and recruit strong warriors to plot for greater things in the future. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Yet, they could not understand the importance of Central State in the hearts of these three. How could they bear to abandon Central State and their tens of millions of citizens?

In the Bright Temple, the white glow still illuminated the hall with purity as usual.

The three giants of the Bright Camp stood in the center of the Bright Hall, their faces displaying purity and holiness under the white light.

"Those cowardly fools! With their conduct, how can they achieve great things!" Emperor of Destiny Mo Fanchen thought of the six Great Martial Emperors who parted ways with them, a look of anger crossing his face as he spoke.

"Actually, we can’t entirely blame them." Emperor Guangming Jing Tianyu, upon hearing Mo Fanchen’s words, shook his head and sighed, saying, "I suppose, by now, Netherworld and his group are already on their way to Central State!"

"Tianyu, are you really planning to do this?" At this moment, Life Emperor Wuq Qianxuan turned to Jing Tianyu and softly inquired.

Upon hearing Wuq Qianxuan’s words, Jing Tianyu took a deep breath and said, "By now, we have no choice but to try! There are no better options! Otherwise, must we truly stand by and watch as Bright City is massacred by those people?"

Upon hearing the conversation between Wuq Qianxuan and Jing Tianyu, a look of worry also appeared on Mo Fanchen’s face as he looked at Jing Tianyu, saying:

"But Tianyu, the forbidden secret technique left by our ancestors is documented in the scroll. Any carelessness could lead to life-threatening consequences. The side effects are immense, and even if successful, it can only maintain the state for three days. After three days, you might end up with a shattered dantian, becoming crippled."

"For the tens of millions of citizens in our Bright Camp, I can’t care any longer! Three days! In three days, with that power, I can destroy the darkness and let the light cover the entire world," Jing Tianyu said, his face full of determination.

"But..."

Seeing that Mo Fanchen was about to continue, Jing Tianyu quickly interrupted him, saying, "Enough, you don’t need to persuade me anymore. My mind has been made up! Now, give me protection! I will use the Secret Technique to communicate with the Bright God, asking the god to grant me divine power! Let the light, shine upon the entire Tianheng Continent."

As Jing Tianyu spoke, he looked upward. Suspended in the center above the Bright Temple was a human-sized white Cross Stele, emanating a pure aura.

The purity of the light in the Bright Temple actually originated entirely from this Cross Stele.

Then, a look of piety appeared on Jing Tianyu’s face as he formed a mysterious and strange handprint with his hands, his figure softly levitating until he hovered beneath the Pure Cross Monument.

At this moment, a broad beam of pure light shone down from the Cross Stele, enveloping Jing Tianyu entirely in this pure light.

"O God! Please receive the prayers of Your most faithful disciple!"

"The powerful darkness is about to devour the light. O God! Please grant Your most faithful disciple strength, so Your most faithful disciple can use Your most faithful power to expel the darkness.

Let the light eternally dwell in this world! My great God..."

In order to safeguard the light, Jing Tianyu had already begun his devout prayer!
