Chapter 877: A Dog of a Lost Family
Without the experience of Brother Bull Ghost Practitioner being attacked by the Blood Prison Sword just now, upon hearing Brother Bull Ghost Practitioner say that the Blood Emperor, one of the Nine Emperors, might be in this Spirit Life Universe, and might even have discovered the spatial node connecting this Spirit Life Universe and the Netherworld, hoping to take a share of the spoils, Brother Wood Ghost Practitioner and Brother Tiger Ghost Practitioner weren't too afraid.
Instead, they had a different idea.
This matter... might not be a bad thing.
Since this was an open universe, it was very likely that there were many powerful spirit beings. If the incoming spirit beings were too powerful, they might not stand a chance. Hence, it wouldn't be easy to think about devouring the spirit beings of this universe anymore.
However, if the Blood Emperor was also in this universe and doing this very thing, that would be a different story.
The top-notch spirit beings might be directly slain by the Blood Emperor. Some slightly more powerful spirit beings might be deterred from approaching these two spatial nodes. In that case, without these two spatial nodes being blocked by the spirit beings, making it impossible for them to return, wouldn't they be able to kill recklessly in this universe?
Even if those top-notch spirit beings were slain by the Blood Emperor, there wouldn't be any great danger to them anymore.
A grand opportunity!
This is a grand opportunity indeed!
"Wait! That's not right..." Just as Brother Wood Ghost Practitioner and Brother Tiger Ghost Practitioner were getting excited, Brother Wood Ghost Practitioner suddenly thought of something.
As the saying goes, the players are blind, but the spectators see clearly. Brother Bull Ghost Practitioner, horrified by the appearance of the Blood Prison Sword, had not thought through many things, only thinking about running away quickly for possibly having offended the Blood Emperor.
It was Brother Wood Ghost Practitioner who noticed something Brother Bull Ghost Practitioner had mentioned just now.
"Brother Bull, did you just say that the human strongman used the Blood Prison Sword just now? How could the Blood Emperor's weapon be used by a human? And, I saw from afar earlier that the human strongman didn't seem to be your match!" Brother Wood Ghost Practitioner frowned and said.
"Yes! It's said that the Blood Emperor's weapon, the Blood Prison Sword, is very powerful, isn't it? If you were truly attacked by the Blood Prison Sword just now, how could you be unharmed now? Not to mention that the human strongman wasn't even your match!" Brother Tiger Ghost Practitioner also thought of this point and immediately added.
Although they said that, both Brother Wood Ghost Practitioner and Brother Tiger Ghost Practitioner did not dare to pause for a moment. As the matter concerned the Blood Emperor, they would not dare to take risks without clarifying the situation.
"Hmm?"
Contrarily, upon hearing what Brother Wood Ghost Practitioner and Brother Tiger Ghost Practitioner had said, Brother Bull Ghost Practitioner paused slightly, and at the same time, he immediately halted his steps.
Having just engaged in close combat with Lin Yun and the True Martial Saint Lord, he had more information. As the player is blind, the spectator sees clearly. Now reminded by Brother Wood Ghost Practitioner and Brother Tiger Ghost Practitioner, he also instantly realized something was wrong.
"What is it? Brother Bull, have you thought of something?"
Seeing Brother Bull Ghost Practitioner stop, Brother Wood Ghost Practitioner and Brother Tiger Ghost Practitioner also quickly asked.
"Could it be that the legend is true, the Blood Emperor has not shown up in the Netherworld for such a long time because he has actually fallen..." As strong beings of their level, a myriad of information could flash through their minds in an instant. In a moment, Brother Bull Ghost Practitioner came up with a possibility and couldn't help but exclaim in shock.
This matter was even more shocking than when he had discovered the Blood Prison Sword.
The Blood Emperor, what kind of existence was that?
It was said he had already broken through the Saint King Peak realm, reaching an even higher level, once shattering eight new spaces in the Netherworld, an invincible existence within it. Who could have slain the Blood Emperor?
In fact, many Ghost Practitioners in the Netherworld were circulating a rumor that the Blood Emperor had likely fallen long ago.
Otherwise, after such a feat as shattering eight new spaces, so remarkable and astonishing, and with many more Netherworld spaces continuously being broken open, numerous outstanding Ghost Practitioners fighting amongst each other, causing great turmoil in the Netherworld, he had never shown his face again.
This was very abnormal.
He had seen the Blood Prison Sword up close before and sensed its aura up close. He could confirm that the weapon used by the human youth just now was indeed the Blood Prison Sword!
However, the power of that Blood Prison Sword was very wrong. Plus, considering the situation at that time, he instantly judged that the Blood Prison Sword seemed to be in a severely damaged state and... it seemed not to have acknowledged a master!
The Blood Prison Sword not in the hands of the Blood Emperor but in the hands of a human youth, and not only heavily damaged but also without a master—this set of information forced him to believe the legend that had been circulating in the Netherworld!
"What? The Blood Emperor has really fallen?" Hearing Brother Bull Ghost Practitioner's guess, Brother Wood Ghost Practitioner and Brother Tiger Ghost Practitioner exclaimed in shock.
They considered that their Brother Bull might have sensed it wrong just now. It might not have been the Blood Emperor's Blood Prison Sword but rather two weapons with somewhat similar auras that had led their Brother Bull to such a mistaken recognition.
They thought of various possibilities but had never considered this one.
Because the legend of the Blood Emperor in the Netherworld was indeed too strong, so strong that they couldn't believe the Blood Emperor would have actually fallen.
"It must be so! It must be so! A grand opportunity! This is our grand opportunity!" Just then, Brother Bull Ghost Practitioner became more and more convinced of this thought in his heart and, unable to contain his excitement, looked toward his two brothers and said.
It was rumored that the Blood Emperor had become so powerful step by step because he obtained the Blood Prison Sword. Even if there might be falsehoods in the story, many things do not arise without a basis. The Blood Prison Sword must also definitely be an exceedingly heaven-defying weapon.
