Chapter 1698: True Lord Yellow Dragon Emerges! (1/2)
The God Ghost Talisman was around two feet long and as thick as a child's arm. It was cast entirely from black gold, and at its top was a horrifying ancient head, its mouth wide open.
”Haha, good!”
After one glance, the Tianfu Divine Lord's eyes brightened and he heartily laughed.
”Clean this place up and get ready to go!”
”Ah?!”
The black-robed monk trembled, his eyes brimming with shock.
The Seal of Finality was a matter of utmost importance. He had believed that their superiors would send reinforcements and think of a way to continue the assault on the Child of Destruction, but apparently, the order they had received was to withdraw.
Were they just going to ignore such a major incident?
”Those above have already sent word that they will handle the Seal of Finality and that they want us to ignore the matter for now. In addition, there's been news from the northwest that the location of the Immortal Lord has been found.”
The Tianfu Divine Lord's lips slowly curved into a profound smile.
……
At the same time, far away in the northwest, north of the Moheyan and Qixi deserts, around the entrance to the Origin Immortal Palace, various figures were spread out across the earth, warily watching their surroundings.
Under their feet were numerous corpses belonging to martial artists who had unwittingly wandered into this area. The scent of blood was so thick that it hung in the air.
”How was it?”
In front of a massive pit, an expert who seemed to hold a leadership position in the Celestial God Organization held his hands behind his back and spoke to several people standing in front of him.
”Divine Lord, we've already found the Immortal Lord's location. Everything is ready, and we can activate the formation at any time and help the Immortal Lord break free of the seal,” one of the men said with utmost respect.
”Begin!”
The leader from the Celestial God Organization immediately gave the order.
Upon receiving the order, the small group of men jumped into the pit.
A few moments later, several hundred men in black on the surface sat cross-legged on the ground, their palms placed against each other to form a large circle, and the formation was activated.
Boom!
Seething black smoke and boundless energy erupted from their bodies. Some of this immense energy surged into the void while the majority, buoyed by the formation, seeped deep into the ground.
There, another nearly one hundred men in black had formed a second formation, which took the energy and transferred it deeper into the ground to a third formation, then a fourth, a fifth…
On this barren land, thousands of experts had formed a series of connected formations, an echeloned formation that was being used to break a powerful seal deep underground. Only the organization of men in black was capable of such a vast undertaking.
Time slowly passed, and the men in black continued to guide their strength deep into the earth. After what seemed like countless eons, and also like a single second, crackcrack! A great shaking came from deep in the earth, as if something had suddenly broken.
”Rraaaah!”
A heaven-shaking howl suddenly erupted from the depths of the earth, soaring straight into the heavens. Boom! The entire northwestern region shook as if some giant invisible hand had seized it, and the surface began to crack and groan.
Rumble!
A few moments later, a terrifying energy far greater than anyone could possibly imagine erupted from the earth, and a great pillar of dust shot several thousand meters into the air.
”Paying respects to the True Lord!”
As that man emerged, ringing calls of extreme reverence tinged with awe and fear came from all around. All the men in black in the area had gotten down on their knees, and their leader who had been addressed as 'Divine Lord' also got down on one knee and bowed.
Whoosh!
There was a surge of air and then a golden flash of light. Two feet covered in golden silk boots slowly descended from the sky.
A majestic voice came from above and resounded in the Tianji Divine Lord's ears. ”Tianji Divine Lord, you did rather well. When we return, this lord will richly reward you.”
(TN: If we follow the same naming scheme as the Tianfu Divine Lord, then the Tianji Divine Lord is technically a subordinate of the Tianfu Divine Lord. The Tianji Star is the third star of the Six Stars of the Southern Dipper while the Tianfu Star is the first. In western astronomy, this star is Mu Sagittarii.)
As that man spoke, his two drooping dragon whiskers floated in the air. If Wang Chong were here, he would have certainly been astonished, for this man was the one who had been sealed beneath the earth by the Origin Immortal Lord, True Lord Yellow Dragon.
The Origin Immortal Lord had offered his life, but he had still been unable to seal this man.
”Many thanks, True Lord!” The Tianji Divine Lord was delighted to hear True Lord Yellow Dragon's words.
