Chapter 651: Nine Great Accomplishments

In the Human Emperor Palace, more and more cultivators gathered. Looking at Zhang Nuo in his white robes, they felt more and more in their hearts that the current Human Emperor was no longer comparable to the one from before! It could even be said that not a single Human Emperor in the history of the Human Emperor Realm could compare to Zhang Nuo!

Receiving the worshipful gazes of the crowd, Zhang Nuo only gave a faint smile, then began to order the cleanup of the battlefield within the city. This unexpected appearance of Qin Guang Wang had caused the Holy City to suffer heavy losses; the number of cultivators in the city alone had already decreased by two-thirds!

The number of destroyed buildings was countless, and it took a full three days just to clean up the blood of the cultivators that had stained the main streets!

The corpses of countless cultivators were buried in a unified manner! Although the people from the Underworld had already left, a sense of sorrow still lingered within the Holy City!

With so many people dying all at once, it could be said that the strength of the Holy City had been sharply reduced! Zhang Nuo stood high in the sky, looking at the deathly silent Wushuang Shenghuang City, the anger on his face not dissipating for a long time!

Qin Guang Wang had been too ruthless this time; if he had returned one step later, it was feared that not a single living soul would have been left in the city! The encounter of the Holy City soon spread throughout the Immortal Domain! On this day, while Zhang Nuo was handling urgent matters in the city, a white figure flashed into the Human Emperor Palace!

Zhang Nuo looked up abruptly and saw Ai Yuchen, wearing a plain robe of the same style as Zhang Nuo's, standing at the entrance of the main hall! On the chest of the woman's robe, a fist-sized character for "Demon" was embroidered!

"Fairy Ai, you have also advanced to the Great Accomplishment Stage?"

With a flash of brilliance in his eyes, Zhang Nuo saw at a glance that her cultivation had greatly increased!

"This little woman has just succeeded in advancing, I did not expect such a major event to happen in the Holy City!"

After entering the Holy City, Ai Yuchen learned of everything that had happened. Seeing the Holy City, to which she had devoted her heart and blood for these years, destroyed like this, she felt truly uncomfortable in her heart!

"It is truly great that you could return, Fairy Ai. This Emperor is currently overwhelmed!"

Looking at Ai Yuchen, who had advanced to the Great Accomplishment Stage, Zhang Nuo felt an indescribable joy in his heart. This woman had already possessed the strength of the Late Void Refinement Stage over a thousand years ago, only lacking that tiny bit of opportunity. Now, after training in the Wilderness for several hundred years, she had officially stepped into the existence of the Great Accomplishment Stage!

"Why must the Human Emperor be so polite? This little woman heard on the way here that you fought Qin Guang Wang alone and even severed half of his body. This matter has already spread throughout the Immortal Domain! I believe that within two years, the cultivators from other forces who have advanced to the Great Accomplishment Stage will all enter the Holy City!"

Ai Yuchen gave a faint smile, her admiration for Zhang Nuo deepening a little more in her heart. Not to mention that his cultivation speed was unheard of, just the matter of severing half of Qin Guang Wang's body was something not all Great Accomplishment Stage cultivators could do!

"They are all coming to the Holy City? Why?"

Upon hearing that the Great Accomplishment Stage cultivators from various forces were all coming to Wushuang Shenghuang City, Zhang Nuo was truly startled. Even if such a major event had occurred in the Holy City, it shouldn't be enough to make these people come out, right? They were all top-tier powers within the Immortal Domain!

"Just on the way here, this little woman received notification from Fellow Daoist Jiufang Yi. The matter of the Underworld has reached a white-hot stage; we cannot wait any longer. Let those remaining cultivators who have not advanced to the Great Accomplishment Stage continue to work hard. Those of us who have already succeeded in advancing will immediately head to the Underworld! And the Holy City is the gathering point!"

Ai Yuchen said with her brows tightly furrowed! For Jiufang Yi, the commander of the Sixteen Chambers, to make this astonishing decision, it seemed the situation had already become very serious!

"How many people have advanced to the Great Accomplishment Stage now?"

What Zhang Nuo cared about most was the issue of numbers. Although the number of cultivators cultivated jointly by several major realms was large, due to various reasons, not everyone had successfully advanced to the Great Accomplishment Stage!

"According to what this little woman knows, including Fellow Daoist Jiufang Yi, there are only nine people now!"

Ai Yuchen's words once again greatly shocked Zhang Nuo. Nine Great Accomplishments, and except for Jiufang Yi, all were newly advanced. Such strength appeared very weak relative to the Underworld. One had to know that among the Ten Kings of the Underworld, every one was a figure who had dominated the Underworld for tens of thousands of years, and in terms of combat experience, they were also extraordinary. If they went so easily, it was very likely they would be completely wiped out!

However, these were all things Zhang Nuo thought in his heart and did not say out loud! Since the Sixteen Chambers had made such a decision, there was no way to change it!

With Ai Yuchen's help, the Holy City was returning to its original appearance, but the sharply reduced number of cultivators was not something they could control.

A few months later, the injuries of Chunyangzi and the others were mostly healed, but for some serious internal injuries, even Zhang Nuo was at his wit's end! They could only recuperate little by little!

One year later, Jiufang Yi was the first to arrive at Wushuang Shenghuang City. This commander of the Sixteen Chambers caused a sensation as soon as he entered the city! Previously, the cultivators of the Immortal Domain had hardly even heard this name, but now, seeing Jiufang Yi with their own eyes, they all felt he had an air of an immortal and the bones of a Daoist!

Zhang Nuo and Ai Yuchen went out of the city to welcome him. After the three walked into the Human Emperor Palace, they studied the recent events again! At this time, Jiufang Yi looked at Zhang Nuo with a solemn expression and said:

"Fellow Daoist Zhang! This time the Holy City suffered such a disaster, it was truly something I, Jiufang, did not calculate! Rest assured, all expenses for rebuilding the Holy City will be covered by the Sixteen Chambers!"

"Fellow Daoist Jiufang is too polite. The Holy City being ambushed by Qin Guang Wang this time has a great deal to do with this Emperor. However, the matter of the Holy City this time is enough to show that the Underworld's plan has greatly exceeded our expectations. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Jiufang has any confidence in this trip to the Underworld?"

The losses of the Holy City were not something Zhang Nuo took to heart at all! The trip to the Underworld was what he was truly worried about! Hearing this, Jiufang Yi shook his head slightly, a helpless expression appearing on his face!

"To tell the truth, for this trip to the Underworld, no one in the Sixteen Chambers is optimistic!"

Swish! The main hall became completely silent. Zhang Nuo and Ai Yuchen looked at each other. It seemed their previous guesses were all correct; these newly advanced Great Accomplishment Stage cultivators were only temporarily assembled, and their overall combat power was not as strong as imagined!

"But this is also a method with no other choice. Who would have thought the Underworld's plan would proceed so quickly!"

Sighing lightly, Jiufang Yi gave a bitter smile and said:

"As far as I know, Master Moke of Jile Temple and Beigong Zhenren of Wuliang Dao Sect have both advanced to the Great Accomplishment Stage. In addition, powerhouses from several other realms have also succeeded in advancing and will arrive at the Holy City in a few days. At that time, as soon as we few are gathered, we must immediately head to the Underworld! As for whether we can succeed, it will depend on our fortune!"

Zhang Nuo was expressionless, but in his heart, he was secretly calculating. Adding the strength of these people together, it was already somewhat difficult to deal with the Ten Kings of the Underworld, not to mention that 'Chaos Insect King'. If the Insect King could not be killed, even destroying the Underworld would be of no use!

But if the Underworld were truly destroyed, then the seal of the 'Chaos Insect King' would certainly loosen. At that time, if the Insect King were released because of this, several major realms would suffer a catastrophe once again!

The matter had become somewhat thorny; one had to ensure the seal of the Insect King would not loosen while also disrupting the Underworld's plan, which invisibly increased the difficulty of the trip to the Underworld!

Several months later, Great Accomplishment Stage cultivators arrived at the Holy City one after another. For a time, the cultivators in the city were somewhat crazed; they had never seen so many Great Accomplishment Stage cultivators!

These Great Accomplishment Stage cultivators each wore a white robe, with different characters embroidered on their chests, representing the powerhouse from which realm they came!

When Zhang Nuo saw Moke, he couldn't help but show joy on his face. When he met this monk at Jile Temple years ago, he was slovenly, but now, wearing a plain robe, he looked quite dignified!

"Fellow Daoist Moke, it has been over a thousand years. I wonder how your comprehension of the Three Immortals Sword Art is?"

"Haha! Fellow Daoist Zhang! Do not tease this old monk. The Three Immortals Sword Art was originally your thing; now that this old monk has learned it, there is a suspicion of stealing the craft!"

Monk Moke said very embarrassedly. It was precisely because he obtained the Three Immortals Sword Art from Zhang Nuo that he was able to break through to the Great Accomplishment Stage!

At this time, Beigong Zhenren also walked to Zhang Nuo's side. They had all heard about the Qin Guang Wang incident, so now, none of the few Great Accomplishment Stage existences dared to look down on Zhang Nuo!

After the few exchanged pleasantries, they were all finally called into the Human Emperor Palace by Jiufang Yi. Counting carefully, there were as many as nine Great Accomplishment Stage cultivators who had come to the Holy City!

This was also the first time in the history of the Immortal Domain that nine Great Accomplishments had gathered in one place!

"Fellow Daoists, this trip to the Underworld is already imminent, so we do not have time to wait for the remaining fellow daoists who have not advanced to the Great Accomplishment Stage! At this moment, only the nine of us will enter the Underworld. I hope everyone will spare no effort to accomplish the task! Only in this way can we ensure the safety of the other several realms!"

"Fellow Daoist Jiufang, rest assured! We have all been brewing for this operation for many years; we shall either succeed or die in the attempt!"

The one speaking was a young man wearing a plain robe with a "Blood" character embroidered on his chest. He was in his twenties, spirited and imposing; one could tell at a glance that he was no ordinary person!

This person was the Great Accomplishment Stage cultivator from the Blood Heaven Realm, named Zhu Shaoye.

"Correct, just as Fellow Daoist Zhu said, we shall either succeed or die in the attempt on this trip!"

Jiufang Yi nodded heavily, his stirring words echoing endlessly in the Human Emperor Palace!

One year later, in the sky above Wushuang Shenghuang City, nine cultivators wearing plain robes appeared. These people were majestic and full of Evil Qi. After Jiufang Yi tore open a void, all nine of them plunged into it and then disappeared!

Although the cultivators in the Holy City did not know where the nine great powers had gone, they could all faintly feel that something very big was about to happen; otherwise, it would not have taken nine Great Accomplishment Stage cultivators acting in concert to set out!
