Chapter 721: True King vs True King? (4K)
The Tide of Death spread across the Ten Directions Island Domain, indeed bringing great effects to the environment of the entire domain.
However...
The holy war erupting within and beyond the Ten Directions Island Domain had already turned the entire domain—except for the Tianyuan City Defense Circle—into a chaotic mess.
In the face of life and death, the environment was not a concern.
Defending the territory was the utmost priority.
The descent of the True King Realm, although somewhat unexpected, was naturally anticipated by Lord Shepherd, envisioning scenarios where a super-spec enemy would arrive.
As the main battlefield is most likely in the domain, it's natural to fully utilize the geographical advantage.
The previously appeared 'springs,' spewing pillars of black tide, were one part of it.
The 'Gates of the Netherworld,' now appearing across the domain, were another.
Not only the Gates of the Netherworld.
In many areas within the Ten Directions Island Domain, despite being battered by energy storms and impacted by the Saint Realm's explosions, leaving the land fragmented, vast pale plains and mountains blanketed in bones also emerged.
This was a measure laid by Dead Bone in advance.
The springs, Gates of the Netherworld, White Bone Wilderness, and Bone Mountain were all part of his Great Power 'Earthly Netherworld'!
The Earthly Netherworld had long existed on the lands of the Ten Directions Island Domain.
The Netherworld stood here and high above it.
Even though some areas had been affected by the Saint Realm's power during previous battles, causing land collapse and space fragmentation, it didn't seem to affect the anchoring of the Earthly Netherworld.
Even if the entire domain was shattered, it would not be affected.
Unless there is a Saint Realm with mastery over this Great Power—like the personal encounter of the Demon Eye Great Monarch, who might discover these hidden lands within the domain in advance...
"It's the Land of the Undead!"
A Saint Realm murmured.
They seemed to see an endless land of the Undead, death wafting in the air, and an army of powerful Undead gathering and advancing.
This was the mysterious force in the present that emerged suddenly—the Land of the Undead!
"But wasn't the Land of the Undead just a force with a few Law Realm entities? Let alone the Land of the Undead; even the strongest remnant force after the Undead Empire's collapse isn't that powerful, right?"
Precisely because the Undead Empire had virtually no strong individuals, there was talk of the Undead Clan being utterly withered and in name only.
The Silent Sovereign alone could not support a clan!
And in fact, over these years... before the sudden emergence of the Land of the Undead, the presence of Undead had grown increasingly thin.
Even the Land of the Undead, in the eyes of many Saint Realm exists, was still not worth mentioning.
Below the Saint Realm, all are ants.
However,
there were a few Saint Realms with special sources of information or who observed the celestial phenomena and foresaw something.
An ancient Saint spoke: "The Land of the Undead is indeed the most orthodox successor of the former Undead Empire, holding the true Great Power of the Undead, which even the Silent Sovereign cannot compare to."
Another Saint stated: "Indeed, some of my descendants have a close relationship with a strong individual from the Silent Kingdom and have obtained concrete information. Now... the Land of the Undead represents the Undead!"
Then,
a Great Lord within the Land of Origin spoke, "The Land of the Undead in the Death Domain is merely the superficial power of this mysterious force. In fact, not long ago, the Land of the Undead aimed at the Red Mist Land and even had a direct conflict with the Saint Realm Monarch of Dragon Sleep Valley, with the result... undoubtedly being a great victory for the army of the Land of the Undead."
"And now, it seems the Land of the Undead is not simple at all; there's actually a strong figure, which is truly delightful."
"Yet I didn't expect this strong figure from the Land of the Undead... possibly the King of the Land of the Undead, would deliberately support Tianyuan City, even at the cost of confronting a True King."
"It's a case of sharing common threats; if Tianyuan City falls, the next target might be the Land of the Undead, sitting right in the neighboring Great Domain."
"I don't think so. The foundation of the Land of the Undead may not be in the Death Domain. This time, the intervention of this high-level Undead figure is clearly due to the influence of the face of the Lord of Tianyuan City."
The influence of the Lord of Tianyuan City's face is truly enviable!
After all, even for great existences like us in the Saint Realm, often, in the presence of those complete legendary figures, we can only receive very cold treatment.
...
The Undead Army surged like tides, rushing out from one massive vortex-like Gate of the Netherworld after another.
The black tide spread.
Wherever it passed, plants withered, mountains decayed, and the black earth continuously extended, swallowing the monster tide it touched in the blink of an eye, turning them into part of the black tide.
The cold wind of death accompanied the army's steps, spreading endlessly, forcing the ubiquitous filthy Red Mist in this realm to continuously retreat.
The filthy land was overwhelmed, transformed into a pitch-black Land of Death;
The Root of Corruption was overwhelmed, with its blood-colored streams replaced by blackness, leaving only a solitary, ancient, withered tree standing.
When the Great Power is strong enough, the Root of Corruption that cannot be directly destroyed is no different from everything else under the Tide of Death.
However,
the Tide of Death was strong, yet the number of monsters surging into this domain was even greater.
Moreover...
The survival of the domain and the outcome of the war were determined by those Saint Realm existences standing high in the heavens.
From within the True King of Twilight, the Saint Realm combat power of flesh Giant Dragons emerged from Dragon Sleep Valley, numbering in the tens.
In the presence of the Saint Realm, no matter how vast the tide of Undead was, it held no significance.
