“To those peak Dao Masters, luck not only increases their chances of obtaining opportunities and treasures but their strength as well . Moreover, they can even force their way through a bottleneck if they accumulate enough luck,” Gu King said .
“These people ought to have made plenty of preparation before, using a special formation to gather all the luck of the Tang Kingdom of the East for their own use . The luck will bring them great advantages while the Tang Kingdom will meet its demise!”
“I understand now . ” Jian Wushuang nodded, awe flitting across his face .
No wonder Lord of Cercis Island would accuse Emperor Leng of going against the peace of the world .
No wonder Emperor Yun would choose to station here in Emperor Xiao’s camp . It turned out that Emperor Leng had set her sights on the Tang Kingdom of the East .
After all, a country who had lost all its luck would be a country waiting for its demise .
Hovering in the Void above, Emperor Xiao and the others all appeared pale .
Emperor of Tang had founded the Tang Kingdom of the East with a certain great skill and in the many years after, they had always sought ways to expand and strengthen the kingdom .
Yet, Emperor Leng had tried to rob the Tang Kingdom of its luck for her own benefit .
Back then, Emperor Xiao had broken off any friendship with Emperor Leng precisely because he had discovered the latter’s treachery . Their relationship worsened to the point that a war broke out between them .
“You lowly bastard, how can you answer to your Master after your actions today?” Emperor Xiao said with a snort .
“Humph! It’s just a little bit of luck . Once I make a breakthrough, I’ll find a way to reinvigorate the Tang Kingdom or just directly establish a better and stronger country,” Emperor Leng replied coldly .
The experts from Emperor Xiao’s camp immediately flew into a rage after hearing his words .
Even so, Emperor Leng could no longer worry about trivialities like these . She stared at the majestic luck that was piling up with a pair of crazed eyes .
Out of nowhere…
“Hm?” Emperor Leng frowned .
“That’s…” Xia Yong’s expression abruptly shifted .
They detected a hint of a different sort of force within the flow of the majestic luck .
Not only was this development beyond their expectations, but they also noticed how special this force was .
“No! This isn’t right!” Gu King’s alarmed voice suddenly resounded .
“What’s wrong?” Jian Wushuang immediately asked .
“It’s not just the luck of the Tang Kingdom . There’s also a different kind of force . Since I can’t see the force, I believe it’s the natural power of all things in the universe . Moreover, there’s a lot of it, too many of it . ” Gu King’s voice carried a hint of shock .
“Natural power?” Jian Wushuang was equally as stunned .
He appeared familiar with this so-called natural power .
Back when he just obtained the Heavenly Creation Skill in the Ancient World, he earned not only a technique but a secret skill as well . It was the Soul-devouring Secret Skill .
To him back then, the Soul-devouring Secret Skill was a skill that defied the natural order . It was used to absorb the natural power of all things in the universe .
He had depended on this skill to survive many perilous situations in the Ancient World .
Unfortunately, the skill lost a lot of its use to him after he arrived in the Eternal World .
Up in the Void, Emperor Leng and Xia Yong had already noticed that something was off . The former immediately cried, “National Master, what’s happening?”
“What’s happening? Huh! You’re only asking me now what’s happening when the situation has come to this?” Though there was a fire burning in the old soothsayer’s eyes, he was wearing an evil smile . “Emperor Leng, did you really think that the formation I prepared for you is one that gathers luck?”
“Keke! I’ll tell you honestly that the formation I prepared is one unique to my Blood Killing Sect, the Life-devouring Formation . ”
“Life-devouring Formation?”
Shock swept the many Dao Masters on the battlefield .
Even if most of them had no idea what the formation was capable of, they could tell just from the name alone that it would not be anything good .
“I understand… I understand it all . ” Gu King’s voice reverberated in Jian Wushuang’s heart . “I did wonder why he would have the Blood-killing Plate Armor . So he’s a member of the Blood Killing Sect!”
“Blood Killing Sect?” Jian Wushuang was confused .
“It’s a nefarious sect that is a near-universal enemy . Each of its members is undoubtedly a Great Demon . They know many evil formations and the Soul-devouring Formation is one of them,” Gu King explained .
“The formation could forcefully refine all the natural power within its scope . It targets not only the natural power of the earth; it encompasses flora, fauna, and even humans . Everything that has vitality will be forcefully refined . ”
“If this formation has really enveloped the entire Tang Kingdom, then this is truly the end . The Tang Kingdom is over!”
“There is not even the smallest room for struggle . Not only will the country be reduced into a dead land, but every cultivator within the scope of the formation will also die after being wrung dry . ”
Jian Wushuang was startled . “What are you saying?”
The entire Tang Kingdom will be reduced into a dead land? Everyone would be wrung dry?
“Don’t doubt my words . The formation of the Blood Killing Sect is this evil . It doesn’t take much for them to refine the energy of a sole kingdom,” Gu King said .
Jian Wushuang’s face darkened significantly after hearing his words .
Emperor Leng’s face was incredibly warped . “National Master, you lied to me?”
“Keke! I didn’t lie to you . The formation can indeed gather all the luck of the Tang Kingdom but that’s not all that it will gather,” the old soothsayer said with a manic laugh .
“Don’t forget that there’s a restriction that I left in your body . Aren’t you worried that I’ll trigger the restriction and kill you?” Emperor Leng asked coldly .
“Restriction? Oh, I would’ve forgotten about it if you didn’t remind me . ”
“I was heavily injured when I first met you . My strength was at its lowest, so bad that my Blood-killing Plate Armor was in a fairly battered state . Back then, I was so weak that I could only run with my tails between my legs in a confrontation with an ordinary Dao Master . Naturally, I needed an aid to help me find some natural treasures as well as 99,999 newborns for my recovery . ”
“That was why I would especially look for you,” the old soothsayer said, looking at Emperor Leng with a cold glint in his eyes .
Emperor Leng was stupefied .
“99,999 newborns?”
The many experts present looked at Emperor Leng in shocked anger .
There was indeed a period of time many years ago where many newborns were kidnapped in the 36 prefectures of the Tang Kingdom of the East, which led to a great commotion . The Tang royal family had personally investigated the manner but ultimately found no clues .
Later on, fewer and fewer cases of kidnapped newborns cropped up until it eventually disappeared . No one knew what became of the incident .
It was only now that they discovered that Emperor Leng was behind the many cases of kidnapped babies!
