As Xu Nian's body was torn into pieces, the ghostly aura between heaven and earth began to dissipate quickly, revealing the devastated earth again.
In a trance, Shen Qian saw countless resentful ghosts rising up, disintegrating under the clear sunlight, and completely disappearing from the world.
"Maybe this is also a kind of relief..."
Shen Qian knew that those were the souls of strong men who had been enslaved by Xu Nian. Although there were no traces anymore, there was no pain anymore.
Only a remnant soul still lingers in front of Shen Qian, refusing to leave.
Shen Qian vaguely recognized that it was Xu Nian's appearance, but his soul was almost torn to pieces. At this time, his eyes were wide open and blankly staring at the distant sky, muttering something.
Normal people cannot communicate with souls, so Shen Qian attached some spiritual power to his ears and immediately heard Xu Nian's whispers.
"There is no hope, no hope... everyone will die... everyone will die..."
"What?"
Shen Qian was startled, and for a moment he didn't understand the meaning of Xu Nian's words.
But at this time, Xu Nian was on the verge of losing his mind and was obviously unable to communicate normally. He turned a deaf ear to Shen Qian's inquiry and just kept mumbling, "The end of the underworld is like this... Hahahaha... Do the Nine Kings know? They I must know...no wonder, no wonder..."
Shen Qian followed Xu Nian's nihilistic gaze and saw only the broken wilderness world, but could not see any vision.
"Death... destroy them all... no one can escape, hahahaha..."
Xu Nian laughed nervously again, and his incomplete soul gradually dissipated without a trace under the scorching sun, completely perishing in the world.
Shen Qian frowned.
Xu Nian's vitality has long been cut off, and his spiritual core has been shattered. His remaining soul is revealed to be just a collection of obsessions before his death.
In other words, what Xu Nian said at this time must be instinctive and not pretentious.
But what did he see before he died, or did he simply become delirious because he devoured too many souls?
The end of the underworld?
Where is that place?
Shen Qian suddenly thought that after being exiled by the princes' council, Xu Nian was said to have wandered behind the "door" for a long time. Considering some of the information he had leaked before, it is not difficult to deduce that Xu Nian had been to the broken world of the underworld.< /p>
After the collapse of the Three Realms, the underworld has long since collapsed, but according to what Shen Qian knows, reincarnation has not stopped, and the order of life and death is still operating according to the instinct of heaven. Otherwise, there would have been problems in this world long ago.
Shen Qian guessed that the so-called "End of Hell" might refer to a place in the collapsed underworld?
What did Xu Nian see there? Or what did Xu Nian see before he died, relying on his close connection with the law of life and death?
Shen Qian was not sure, but the other party mentioned "Nine Kings", which made Shen Qian feel that there must be some kind of secret in it.
"By the way, Bai Fei once mentioned that the reason why he was able to resurrect from the dead was also because he mistakenly entered the reincarnation of the underworld. You can find him to inquire about it later."
Shen Qian touched his chin, "There is also fourth senior brother Wu Jun. The place where he attained enlightenment, the place called the 'Sea of the Dead', is said to have a great connection with the underworld. You can also ask him if he knows about the so-called 'Sea of the Dead'." What is the end of the underworld?"
Shen Qian thought and subconsciously took out his bracelet, but then he remembered that he was still in the wild world, and there was no signal here at all.
"It's time to go back."
Shen Qian shook his head, looked around, thought about it, and suddenly stretched out his mental power.
Buzz!
The air for hundreds of miles nearby rippled like water waves. After a while, dots of brilliance of different sizes gathered and floated in front of Shen Qian.
Most of these hundreds of points of light are various space crystals. In addition, there are some psychic weapons and some team badges that symbolize identity.
These things are the relics of all the powerful mountains and seas who died here, and the psychic weapons that survived the war, such as Nie Han's spear, are almost all of S-level or above quality.
In addition to the trophies from Xu Nian, Shen Qian thought about taking back as many other people's relics as possible and giving them to their families.
Nowadays, Shen Qian no longer needs to accumulate wealth through this kind of wanton plundering, and he doesn't like most of the things belonging to the mountain and sea warriors. Keeping them in his hands will only take up space.
After packing everything into a bag, Shen Qian planned to go back and sort it out slowly.
At this time, as the "Ten Directions Creation Body" disappeared, after the tiger-wolf-like energy, an extreme feeling of weakness began to occupy Shen Qian's whole body.
Shen Qian, who had been dizzy for a while, quickly stabilized his steps, summoned the clone, and handed everything to the clone.
Although the clone was also seriously injured in the previous fight with Xu Nian, with the prince's resilience, it has already recovered to some extent, but the main body seems to have been hollowed out. It is estimated that not one of them can survive for a day or two. I can’t get over it anymore.
However, this is already a good result. After all, Shen Qian did not maintain the ultimate form for too long. If Xu Nian had been more forceful, Shen Qian might not even be able to stay awake at this time.
After the formation laid out by Xu Nian dissipated, the "door" not far away was also revealed in mid-air.
Under the leadership of the clone, Shen Qian soared into the air, and the two of them rushed towards the "door" and disappeared into it after a moment.
……
After the distortion of space passed, his eyes blurred, and he saw the broken earth. There was a burning smell in the air. After Shen Qian was startled, he was immediately horrified.
He and his clone are still in the wild world.
What's going on?
Shen Qian, who was feeling alarmed, looked at each other with his clone who had the same solemn expression, and then suddenly turned his head and saw that behind him, the "door" was still standing there, as if the shuttle just now was just an illusion.
The clone pulled forward and was about to try again, but saw that the "door" suddenly shattered like a bubble and slowly dissipated into the air, as if it had never existed.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Shen Qian exhaled a breath, and his expression calmed down. He raised his head and looked towards Xu Nowhere, "Since we are here, why hide?"
After a short period of silence, a faint laughter resounded through the sky.
"Everyone in the world says that I am the most evil one after the Nine Kings, but now it seems that I am not as good as you Shen Qianyuan."
As the voice sounded like a smile and a sigh, a figure standing with hands behind his hands slowly appeared in the mid-air not far away, looking down at Shen Qian with a smile.
Seeing that his rhetorical question actually brought out the person, Shen Qian was not happy at all.
He would rather everything is just his illusion, or the influence of the formation left here, and no one is controlling it.
Because Shen Qian knew very clearly that when Xu Nian died, if another accident happened, it would be an unbearable burden for him.
And the figure that appeared did not disappoint Shen Qian at all.
He slowly raised his head and looked at the young man wearing a long gown. Judging from his appearance, he was not much older than Shen Qian. His long silver hair was extremely dazzling in the sun, and his eyes were sharp and looming.
Ling Tianhou, Qiao Tianliang!
The moment he saw the other party appear, Shen Qian's long-standing confusion was finally answered, but what followed was more confusion.
Ling Tianhou indeed had ulterior motives. All of this had already started when he asked Shen Qian to be transferred to the southwest theater. Xu Nian did not have the ability to arrange such a plan, but if Ling Tianhou was the person behind the scenes, it would be logical.
Shen Qian's previous vigilance was not wrong, but he did not expect that disaster would come in such an unexpected way.
There are two things he can't figure out. The first point is why Ling Tianhou wants to deal with him so deliberately?
Is it just because of the small unpleasantness in the Earth Center City?
The second point is, even if the person behind it is Ling Tianhou, how did he create so many coincidences?
You must know that when Shen Qian is in this state, his mental power is about to break through the three taboos, and his sense of misfortune and fortune is clearer. It is extremely difficult to plot against him without being noticed by him.
Even though the opponent was Ling Tianhou, a leader in the Taiyi Golden Immortal level, Shen Qian still couldn't figure out how he did it.
No matter how high the realm is, it still only represents combat power, and these kinds of coincidences, even involving variables in the wild world, are not within the range that combat power can reach.
Based on Shen Qian's understanding, this is something that even a prince should not be able to do... After all, he already has a prince clone, and his understanding of princes is no longer the novice he was at the beginning.
Judging from the way Ling Tianhou appeared, and the illusion of the "door" that he was unaware of, the other party should have arrived a long time ago, and even watched the battle between himself and Xu Nian.
Otherwise, he would not have said that Shen Qiancai should be the most evil one after the Nine Kings.
"Can't figure it out?" Ling Tianhou seemed to see Shen Qian's confusion and asked with a slight smile.
"I can't figure it out."
Since Ling Tianhou was not in a hurry to take action, but was just chatting, Shen Qian was of course happy to delay the time, and while frantically thinking about ways to save himself, he answered honestly.
The system still has less than 40% energy, but I don’t know if I can successfully escape. After all, the "door" has disappeared inexplicably. Unless an exit is found, this wild world will be like an island isolated from the outside world...
If it were a battle, Shen Qian's estimate of the situation was not optimistic.
The clone still has 70% to 80% combat power, but it is only at the Golden Immortal level. Even if Tian Ming is in hand, with the status of Ling Tianhou, doesn’t the opponent not have the soldiers of the stars?
Shen Qian thought it was unlikely.
Unlike Xu Nian's temporary increase in combat power, Ling Tianhou is a genuine second-tier top prince. Although he is young, he has been a prince for some years.
Moreover, the clone is not essentially a prince who is good at fighting. Even if two kinds of strange fires are added, there is almost no chance of winning.
The posture of the Great Emperor is still cooling down, and the "Creation Body of Ten Directions" is unlikely to be used again in a short period of time. The only trump card that can be used seems to be "Time Conch".
But there is still a big question mark as to whether the improvement brought by "Time Conch" can suppress Ling Tianhou.
"The catastrophe of the world is approaching, and no one can survive alone. With my current ability, I still fall short of saving the human race."
Ling Tianhou stood with his hands behind his hands and sighed, "But if we can defeat King Wu, the outcome will be different."
"What does this have to do with me?" Shen Qian frowned as he listened to the other party's righteous words.
"The 'Gate' of the Earth's Core City is rumored to be the first 'Gate' on Earth. So far, only the Nine Kings of the first generation have entered. Those Chaos Stones contain the secret of becoming the Martial King."
Ling Tianhou smiled and said.
"So it's just for those Chaos Stones?"
Shen Qian narrowed his eyes, flipped his wrist almost without hesitation, and took out the three Chaos Stones obtained from behind the "Gate" of the Earth's Core City, "In that case, let me go, and I'll give you the Chaos Stones." So what?"
He didn't have any nostalgia or reluctance. If he could use these stones of unknown origin to quell Ling Tianhou's murderous intention, it would be a great deal in Shen Qian's opinion.
"You are interesting, as free and easy as Liu Changqing, but with a little more tact that he doesn't have."
Ling Tianhou was startled for a moment, then smiled and shook his head, and then looked away from the Chaos Stone, "You don't understand, the Chaos Stone is just a primer."
"What introduction?"
Although he had known that Ling Tianhou would not let him go so easily, Shen Qian's heart still sank and he asked.
"It will only get close to people with the same aura."
Ling Tianhou chuckled and said meaningfully, "In other words, the secret is actually hidden in you...the secret left by King Jiangling."
Only then did Shen Qian understand that it turned out that when the Chaos Stone took the initiative to fly towards him in the inner city that day, Ling Tianhou had already concluded that he had secrets about the first nine kings, or some kind of secret left by King Jiangling. .
Shen Qian couldn't help but remain silent for a while.
He wanted to deny that he had anything to do with King Jiangling, but he also knew that Ling Tianhou would not believe it.
In fact, even Shen Qian himself had some doubts.
Because the Chaos Stone flew toward him at that time, and he was actually controlled by the system...
Thinking again that the location of Shen Qian's awakening system is the Jingcheng Museum's exhibition hall about the first generation of Nine Kings, it is difficult to say that there is no connection between them.
Moreover, the reason why he was able to enter the long river of time was also because of the guidance of King Jiangling.
If the King of Jiangling really left any secret behind, after Shen Qian analyzed it carefully, he felt that it must only be on himself.
"I originally wanted Xu Nian to bring your body back, but I didn't expect that he failed."
Ling Tianhou smiled and said, "Standing in front of the stage in person is not in line with my original intention, but it seems there is no other way."
Shen Qian's heart tightened, knowing that it would be difficult to be kind today.
Unless he fully revealed the existence of the system, that was impossible, and he did not believe that Ling Tianhou would give up on him after satisfying his curiosity.
"Then let's fight."
Shen Qian's eyes sharpened, and before Ling Tianhou said anything, as soon as he realized what was happening, the sky and the earth changed color, and the power of the stars rolled in. The clone had already taken action boldly. With the blessing of the Twin Lihuo, Tian Ming turned into a red rainbow, He angrily slashed towards Ling Tianhou.
