Chapter 778
Survival Innovation in the Spirit Realm and the Abyss
However, just as the gods of the spirit world were about to step forward to offer their congratulations, the figure of the Lord of Death had already vanished from the spot.
He didn't even glance back at the temple he had guarded for tens of thousands of years, nor did he respond to any of the divine greetings that came his way.
Because He has more important things to do!
That's revenge!
This thought burned fiercely in His heart the moment He became a transcendent being.
Ye Lingtian—that name was branded into the depths of his soul like a hot iron.
He still remembers every detail of the massacre that took place in the eastern region of the spirit realm ten thousand years ago.
His offspring, the newly ascended true god who had just ignited his divine fire and whose future was limitless, had his divine spark severed by a sword beam.
His daughter was reduced to a shower of blood by Ye Lingtian's fist.
On that day, He sensed the rupture of His bloodline and the shattering of His divine essence deep within the underworld.
But He could not intervene; His divine will told Him that His most important goal now was to gain merit and be promoted!
At the same time, and most importantly, Ye Lingtian had grown to a point where even He could not easily suppress him.
Because He is not strong enough.
But now, that's enough.
The Lord of Death tears through the void; every step He takes treads on the cracks of the laws, the power of the transcendent rendering distance meaningless.
His goal was terrifyingly clear: hell!
That chaotic land, currently at war with the Great World, the battlefield where Ye Lingtian chose to linger.
He knew perfectly well that this was the only chance, the last window of opportunity fate had opened for him.
The war between the Red Heart Society and the Great World continues to rage, and the transcendent beings within the Red Heart Society constitute a terrifying force capable of striking fear into the hearts of any Great World's will.
The Lord of Death is never arrogant. He knows that even if He has completed His transformation and wields the highest authority over death, once He is surrounded by those who transcend the Red Heart, only His demise awaits Him.
Those monsters would never care whether He was a newly ascended transcendent being or an ancient ruler.
But war is a double-edged sword. It scattered the transcendent members of the Red Heart Society across the battlefields of countless worlds, and it created a temporary vacuum in the power around Ye Lingtian.
This was His opportunity, fleeting yet undeniably real.
So He came, like a black lightning bolt cleaving the blood-red sky of hell!
The Will of Hell sensed this overwhelming aura of death immediately, and its fluctuations were filled with ecstatic joy.
As the weakest of the major worlds, Hell was consistently suppressed throughout this war.
The support from the will of the abyss was limited, and the indifference of the spirit realm left Him completely isolated.
The principles of death, which govern Him, are like timely help in times of need, like medicine that prolongs life.
The lava of hell boiled at this moment, the wails of the dead transformed into a welcoming salute, and the will of hell even proactively opened a passage directly to the core for the ruler of death, fearing that this powerful ally might hesitate or be dissatisfied in the slightest.
But when the figure of the Lord of Death truly descended upon the battlefield at the heart of Hell, a thorn quietly sprouted within the joy of the Will of Hell.
It was a thorn as thin as a spider's thread yet incredibly sharp, embedded deep within His will, making every fluctuation of His being tinged with subtle discomfort.
Looking at the rules of death swirling around the Lord of Death, at that transcendent aura that would make even the very origin of any great world drool, He suddenly realized something absurd.
[A transcendent being has become his ally, and now he's going to attack the transcendent being's origin? The transcendent being's stronghold?]
[The logic itself isn't flawed; factional shifts are common in war. The problem lies in the fact that it's the weakest of all worlds!] [Its origin holds a fatal attraction for those who transcend; it's a sweet bait that would tempt any transcendent to take the risk.]
[A newly ascended Death Sovereign, desperately needing to consolidate his power, and a hellish world possessing endless resources of death—the encounter between these two should have been a predator-prey story, not a fairytale of allies side-by-side!]
The fluctuations of Hell's will became obscure; it began to scrutinize every move of this reinforcement.
The Lord of Death seemed completely unaware of this subtle suspicion, or perhaps he was aware but simply didn't care.
His gaze pierced through the layers of hell, locking onto the figure battling the hellish legions.
【Ye Lingtian!】
The enemy is right in front of us.
A cold, icy smile curved the lips of the Lord of Death—a pure, personal smile that transcended the constraints of divinity.
The concept of death began to coalesce in His palm; it was a spear woven from the instants of countless lives ending, and where its tip pointed, even the void itself began to decay.
But as this fatal blow brewed, the thorn of the will of hell was digging deeper and deeper.
[Would the Lord of Death have conspired with the Crimson Heart Society while they were fighting, and then betrayed him?]
This is not impossible!
For those who transcend, nothing is more exhilarating than their own advancement.
Therefore, the will of Hell couldn't help but focus some of its energy on the ruler of death.
The slight loss of His essence will only weaken Him somewhat.
However, if He completely trusts the Lord of Death, and then the Lord of Death betrays Him at the most crucial moment, that would truly be courting death!
[In September of the Extraordinary Calendar 21652, the Will of the Abyss began to falter under the attack of the Heart Demon God and Agris.]
The will of the abyss felt it had to do something.
Although the demons under His command did not achieve the results He desired, extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures!
He simply didn't believe that if he could provide a ladder to advancement to transcendence, his demon gods would still go to the Red Heart Society.
As for the matter of the Arrogant Lord betraying the will of Hell?
That's a complete joke!
[The Will of Hell's deduction is outrageous!]
[He only innovates and reaps the authority of the true gods of hell, yet he hesitates to make a decision regarding the exchange of contributions for the origin of hell.]
[The true gods of hell are all masters of deception.]
How could anyone not understand the actions of Hell's Will?
Thus, betrayal is born.
[Through the will of the abyss, the top-tier Demon God Hunter was chosen.]
After a series of contracts were signed, and a wisp of the Abyss's will entered the Demon Hunter's body to monitor the entire process, a sufficient quantity of the Abyss's Authority Source descended upon the Demon Hunter.
The Demon Hunter felt the abyssal essence surging within him, and he was extremely excited!
【finally!】
[He too can ascend to the level of a transcendent being!] (End of Chapter)
