Chapter 645 The Nether King
Chapter 645 The King of the Underworld
"This is what the Sacred Project needs."
Lin Ru, Dean Song, and Ye Ru were in a secret room. With a wave of his sleeve, Lin Ru produced countless sacred objects, including the River of History, the Spring and Autumn Annals, and a blue ox statue. They all floated in the sky, carrying a powerful sacred force.
"You must succeed! That is the Holy Pool. Put these sacred objects into the Holy Pool and you will absorb its energy."
Taking a deep breath, Dean Song patted Ye Ru on the shoulder and said.
"Don't worry, I will definitely live up to your expectations."
Ye Ru nodded, feeling an inexplicable increase in pressure.
"In that case, we won't bother you any longer. Just focus on absorbing the nutrients."
Dean Song nodded and said.
"Yes!"
Ye Ru then rushed into the pool of holy relics and began to absorb them.
As time continued to pass, while Ye Ru was absorbing these sacred objects in this secret chamber, another major event occurred for the human race.
"Two of the remaining seven kingdoms have been destroyed?"
Upon hearing the news, Dean Song's face showed a hint of solemnity as he spoke.
"Yes, these demons and monsters are extremely fast. All the fleeing soldiers and civilians are heading towards the Yanhuang Kingdom. Almost half of the ten kingdoms have been wiped out."
"And two of Wei's semi-saints have also died in battle. Now Wei is in grave danger."
Lin Ru nodded and said.
“Summon all the scholars from my Confucian Sage Mountain. Once the ten kingdoms are all destroyed, we, as the last line of defense for humanity, will probably be of no use.”
Dean Song waved his hand, his face full of helplessness, his gaze fixed on a certain spot, muttering to himself:
"It's been half a month already, you absolutely have to succeed!"
Another half month passed, and Ye Ru still made no move. This time, with the help of the half-saints of the Holy Mountain, as well as the great Confucian scholars and great academicians, the human race had successfully turned the tide. The demon race and the monster race withdrew their troops, but strangely, after they left, there was no news of them, as if they had secretly planned it.
The calmer things are, the more everyone knows that once the calm passes, what awaits them is an increasingly fierce storm!
After an unknown amount of time, the entire sky above the Palace of Saints turned gloomy, as if something was about to break through the earth.
Not only the Palace of Saints, but also the other seven kingdoms noticed this strange phenomenon.
"How is this going?"
"Could it be the end of the world?"
Looking at the dark clouds in the sky, the people from the other seven countries were all shocked and then began to discuss among themselves.
"The demon gods and monsters are probably coming."
In the heart of Mount Zhongsheng, Dean Song stood atop the mountain, gazing at the gloomy sky to the east, before sighing and saying...
"The Demon God, the Demon God has arrived so quickly?"
Lin Ru's expression changed. Ye Ru was currently carrying out the Supreme Saint Plan. If the Demon God and the Demon God came here, it would probably be a devastating blow to them.
"It's not that fast, it's already here..."
Dean Song shook his head, his face turning extremely gloomy, and then said:
"Immediately summon all the scholars of Zhongsheng Mountain, including those from Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism, and place them under strict guard. We must protect Ye Ru and the other two!"
"Yes!"
Lin Ru knew this was no small matter, so he clasped his hands in a fist salute and said...
As time passed, the sky grew increasingly gloomy, and the demonic and evil energy of the entire Confucian and Taoist continent was spreading rapidly in all directions.
All the scholars of Zhong Sheng Mountain were on high alert. Then one day, a blood-written letter flew in from afar and fell into Dean Song's hands.
"Dean, what is this?"
Lin Ru frowned and asked.
"Sure enough, it's here."
Dean Song took a deep breath, then opened the blood-written letter, which read:
"If you don't become the Ghost Scholar in three days, the entire Holy Mountain will be wiped out!"
These words carried a strong murderous intent, which angered Dean Song. He then shattered the blood-stained letter in his hand and coldly said:
"It's so deceiving!"
His voice, laced with anger, silenced everyone present.
"Everyone, this battle concerns the life and death of our human race, so we will have to rely on you all three days from now."
"The rise and fall of the nation is the responsibility of every citizen; we will fight them to the very end!"
Lin Ru and the other scholars all nodded, their faces filled with righteous indignation.
Seeing this, Dean Song nodded. Since the last Holy War, the demon race and the monster race had not dared to make any moves. He knew that the human race had suffered heavy losses, and their demon race and monster race would not fare much better.
But this time, the awakening of the demon god and the devil god gave them a lot of courage.
"Summon all the semi-saints and great Confucian scholars who are on missions outside, and inform the Buddhist and Taoist schools to come to my Confucian Sage Mountain as soon as possible. This matter concerns the rise and fall of our human race, and we must not act rashly."
"Moreover, all the scholars in the Hanlin Academy are on high alert. They must not underestimate the demon race and the monster race!"
After saying that, Dean Song waved his hand and said.
'Yes! '
Lin Ru nodded and then walked down, while the remaining scholars also went about their duties and left.
Watching the departing figures, Dean Song gently rubbed his palms together, murmuring to himself:
"I wonder how Ye Ru's Supreme Saint Plan is going. It must succeed! Our human race's continued existence depends on you..."
……
The next day, all the people from the Buddhist Holy Mountain and the Taoist Holy Mountain gathered at the Confucian Holy Mountain.
"Master Ranku, Daoist Qingxu."
Dean Song bowed to an elderly man with a shaved head and another elderly man in a Taoist robe with a dignified and otherworldly air.
“Brother Song, we have also received the challenge from the demon race and the demon clan. Today is the decisive battle. I have brought all the disciples of Buddha Holy Mountain here.”
Master Ranku clasped his hands together and said.
"We, Dao Sheng Mountain, have also brought all our disciples here. Today, we will fight that demonic path to the death!"
Master Qingxu nodded, then waved his whisk, his face also showing a fierce expression.
"Thank you both for your help. I am extremely grateful. Now I will wait for them to arrive."
Dean Song took a deep breath, bowed to the two of them again, and said.
……
Three days passed in the blink of an eye. On the third day, the entire Confucian Sage Mountain was at its most solemn, because today was the day to fight to the death against the demon race and the monster race.
On the Plaza of Saints, Dean Song and Ran Ku stood with their hands behind their backs, their faces showing determination. Behind them were half-saints and great Confucian scholars. If these forces were placed outside, they would be an extremely terrifying force, capable of even overthrowing the entire Ten Kingdoms.
"I wonder how things are in the other ten kingdoms. Perhaps they are fighting a bloody battle just like us."
Looking into the distance, Dean Song thought to himself.
"As far as I know, the Shu Kingdom has been destroyed by the demon race, and some of the scholars of the Jin Kingdom have become ghost scholars. As for the dragon race, they have joined forces with the human race to resist the demon soldiers from the Jin Kingdom and the northern border in the Yanhuang Kingdom. This time, it is truly a catastrophe for our human race."
With a sigh, a sense of sorrow welled up in Ranku's heart.
"If our human race can produce another supreme sage, then even if four or five demon gods or monsters come, it will not be a problem."
Master Qingxu snorted coldly. He knew the power of the Supreme Sage Master, who could even destroy a demon god with a flick of his hand.
"Dean, all of us scholars are ready. Those below the rank of Hanlin have all gone to the Ten Kingdoms to fight alongside them. Those here are all Hanlin scholars and above."
At this moment, Lin Ru said softly, "Now all that's missing is the arrival of those demons and monsters."
He knew that the demon and monster forces coming to Zhongsheng Mountain were definitely the largest, but ordinary demon and monster soldiers would only be sent to their deaths. It would be more appropriate for these low- to mid-level forces to go to the Ten Kingdoms.
Before Lin Ru could finish speaking, Dean Song raised his head, looked in a certain direction, took a deep breath, his eyes becoming incredibly determined, and then slowly said:
"They're coming."
Upon hearing this, everyone present focused their gazes slightly, then all looked toward a certain spot, where a black hole stretched out, carrying an extremely cold aura, like the gaping maw of a prehistoric beast.
As the black hole opened, a faint voice came from within:
"Song Yueshan, Ranku, Qingxu, it's been a long time!"
As soon as he finished speaking, countless streaks of light shot out from the black hole, carrying a dark aura that obscured half the sky.
As the light faded, countless demons and monsters with black wings on their backs stood suspended in the air, their faces showing a hint of bloodlust.
This scene ignited the inner fire of all the scholars, who held their brushes and watched the demons and monsters warily.
Dean Song raised his head and looked at the leader. He saw a middle-aged man wearing black armor, with black wings spread on his back and some magic patterns on his face. The man kept flapping his wings and looked at him with a mocking gaze.
"King of the Underworld, I never expected it to be you."
After a moment, Dean Song said coldly.
"Why didn't you think of me?"
The King of the Underworld smiled faintly.
